After sending Liu Chaoyu and others away, Gao Peng returned to the room and took out the latest scientific research magazine.
When there are no guests, Gao Peng likes to order some magazines to read, which not only kills time, but also allows him to learn a lot of knowledge. There is no conflict between the two.
One of the articles attracted Gao Peng's attention. The author was Ming Gandan, a writer who was well-known in academia and often published articles in major magazines.
The article mentions, "Wood makes fire, and the nature of wood is warm... The nature of heaven and earth is that many are better than few, so water beats fire. Essence beats solid, so fire beats metal... So wood makes fire, and fire Earth is the source of metal, earth is the source of metal, metal is the source of water, and water is the source of wood. Metal overcomes wood, wood overcomes earth, earth overcomes water, water overcomes fire, and fire overcomes metal.”
Ming Gandan mentioned that these were things he had looked up in ancient books, and then suggested that the ancients knew these things a long time ago, and then mixed them with some other ancient books.
Gao Peng watched it with great interest and quite agreed with what he said. Of course, there were many problems in it.
The attributes of the monsters that Gao Peng comes into contact with in reality basically follow this rule.
But there is no shortage of exceptions. Life is born to give birth to miracles.
Not all life follows this law, and there are also a small number of monsters that do not follow this cycle of mutual growth and mutual restraint, or even reverse cycles.
Just like the mint cat I just came into contact with, it was originally an aquatic tree. It stands to reason that the damage caused by the water element to it will be severely weakened, but its weakness has become the water element, which is completely opposite.
Gao Peng originally thought that this might be the only business he could do in the afternoon, but while he was reading, a few more people came outside the studio.
There is also an acquaintance among these people: Ma Dashan, no, it's Ma Jian.
Gao Peng silently apologized for his rudeness towards classmate Ma Jian.
"Mr. Gao, I'm here to trouble you again this time." Ma Jian laughed, looking a little familiar.
Behind Ma Jian were two people, a man and a woman. They were about the same age. Judging from the way they interacted with each other, they should be boyfriend and girlfriend.
But what attracted Gao Peng was not this, but a colorful jellyfish floating quietly in the air next to the woman.
This jellyfish is in the shape of a regular octahedron, with relatively short and thick tentacles swaying slightly on its lower body. What is strange is that this jellyfish is not floating in the water, but in the air!
With the void as the sea, there is still this strange life.
Gao Peng sighed secretly.
It is not this jellyfish that needs to be improved in quality, but the beast lying next to it that resembles a cat or a tiger.
He is not big, only one and a half meters long, and his body is completely black, as if it has a layer of matte finish.
This is a cat-tiger beast. Gao Peng recognized this beast. It was originally a cat, but after the disaster, it awakened the tiger blood in its body, forming a monster with the flexibility of a cat and the strength of a tiger. .
Gao Peng took a look and saw that this cat-tiger beast was only of ordinary quality. Gao Peng was dumbfounded. Indeed, how could there be so many elite and perfect qualities.
"My cat-tiger beast is of elite quality, and I came here this time to ask you to help him advance to perfect quality." The man said, his tone of voice was very gentle, and his Mandarin was standard.
Elite quality
Gao Peng looked at it again with a strange expression and confirmed that it was just a level 18 ordinary quality cat-tiger beast.
I wanted to say something, but I was too embarrassed to say it when I opened my mouth.
Talking too much can lead to enmity.
Gao Peng didn't know whether he should tell this man the truth, but considering that he wasn't familiar with him, it wouldn't be good to tell him presumptuously.
"Well, I'll charge you 60 credits for this cat-tiger beast." Gao Peng nodded.
The man was stunned and looked at Ma Jian doubtfully.
Ma Jian was also confused, and quickly said to Gao Peng, "Mr. Gao, I have mentioned your rules and charging standards to my cousin. My cousin has no objections, so I will just charge you at the original price." Then Ma Jian said Jane coughed twice and said with an embarrassed smile: "I know you are a real person, Boss Gao, but it doesn't matter. Don't give me a discount just because I'm familiar with you. I also know that it's not easy for you to do business. "
In a daze, everyone present seemed to see a tail wagging crazily behind Ma Jian's butt.
"I know, I have no intention of discounting, but I can only charge this price for this cat and tiger beast.
otherwise,
Just smashed my sign. "
Gao Peng said lightly.
"Uh, what does this mean?" Ma Jian didn't react for a while.
His cousin narrowed his eyes, glanced at the cat and tiger beast at his feet, and then at Gao Peng, with a smile on his face.
"Okay, then I'll listen to Mr. Gao." After saying that, he directly took out the card and transferred the money in one go.
He is a cheerful person!
Gao Peng likes to do business with cheerful people.
If you ask for something, I need it.
Business is business, friendship is friendship. This is great, the transaction is completed and we don’t owe each other anything!
Watching Gao Peng take away the cat and tiger beast, cousin Ma Jian took out his mobile phone from his arms and made a call.
"Ask Xu San to answer my call and tell him that I, Ma Yi, am looking for him."
The person on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, then paused for a moment.
"Master Ma, what's going on?"
"I want you to find me a cat-tiger beast of the lowest elite quality, right?" Ma Yi got straight to the point.
"...Yes, Master Ma, are you dissatisfied with this cat and tiger beast? If not, then..."
"Listen to me." Ma Yi interrupted Xu San, "You, Xu San, are not the only ones doing business with beasts in the entire Chang'an City. Cao Hu in the south of the city and Li Laoer in the west of the city are begging me to do business with you! Your eldest brother used to be my father's old subordinate, so I sell him face. I usually buy whatever beasts the company needs from you. I can trust you."
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
"My sister will be born in a week. It's her 18th birthday. She likes cats and tigers. I'm going to give her a high-quality cat and tiger."
"But you, give me an ordinary quality cat and tiger beast, what do you mean?" Ma Yi narrowed his eyes, as if a tiger was about to explode and hurt someone. "I look easy to deceive?"
Xu San broke out in cold sweat on the other end of the phone, and his right hand holding the phone couldn't help shaking.
"Master Ma, I really don't know. If I knew, I wouldn't dare lie to anyone." Xu San begged in a low voice. "When the cats and tigers arrived, I made a special trip to see them. They said they were of elite quality..."
"Okay, I'd rather believe that you really don't know anything about it." Ma Yi said, "This matter ends here. I don't care about it this time, but I don't want it to happen a second time."
"Yes, yes, yes..." Xu San answered repeatedly on the other end of the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Ma Jian was a little confused. After making a call, nothing happened. What was she doing
Ma Yi put the phone back in his pocket, looked around, and found a place to sit down.
It seemed that he saw Ma Jian's doubts.
Ma Yi's serious face showed a hint of gentleness. "Then Xu San has been a little dishonest recently, let's take this opportunity to give him a beating."
"Brother, do you really believe in Mr. Gao?" Ma Tong held it in for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask his doubts.
He naturally believed in Mr. Gao, but this was the first time that his cousin met Mr. Gao today.
"What I believe is not Mr. Gao, but my eyes." Ma Yi said lightly.
In the end, it took two hours for this cat-tiger beast to successfully advance to elite status.
Ma Yi stood up and said thank you.
Gao Peng asked at the right moment: "May I take the liberty of asking, where did you buy this jellyfish?"
Ma Jian quickly said: "Mr. Gao is also interested in this floating jellyfish? This floating jellyfish is originally a specialty of Pengcheng. Recently, a group of traders have imported a lot from there. They are currently in Wuqu Square. They are sold in the commercial street. This jellyfish is actually a little pet that I bought to play with and can be used as a portable wallet."
After speaking, Ma Jian grabbed the floating jellyfish, then opened the lower part of the jellyfish, and threw a bunch of keys in, as if it was thrown into another space and disappeared instantly.
Gao Peng could see clearly that it was not being swallowed into his belly, but it was actually disappearing before his eyes and being swallowed into another unknown space.
