Chapter 324: Any Eye for Talent

As Gao Peng left the school, he saw a faint purple trace in the sky, flashing away.

Why does that seem so familiar... Maybe I’m just imagining things.

He shook his head and drove his car down the mountain and back to the villa.

There were two yellow figures sparring and challenging each other by the side of the lake at the villa.

On the left was a yellow shadow, and on the right was a golden-yellow phantom.

The sounds of flesh being punched could be heard constantly.

“Master Gao,” Xu Heti greeted Gao Peng as he got out of his car.

“Uncle Xu.” Gao Peng nodded. Xu Heti was always busy with work so he didn’t come to the villa often. After all, working for the Southern Sky Group’s security department wasn’t a leisurely job.

The security department at the Southern Sky Group in Yuzhou always had to be responsible for matters that needed to be done every day. Thus, Xu Heti was always busy. Basically, he got home late into the night. Xu Qingzhi mentioned this to Gao Peng when they chatted.

“You brought your Golden Dazzling Light Boxing Champion Kangaroo to spar with Goldie. How long have they been sparring?” Gao Peng looked over to the two shadows by the lakeside.

“Just ten minute.” Xu Heti looked at the eight-foot-tall giant duck on the left and couldn’t help but laugh wryly. “Master Gao, this familiar of yours is just too abnormal. There’s no way to beat it.”

Although both Goldie and the Golden Dazzling Light Boxing Champion Kangaroo were both Level 41 Lord-tier familiars, in reality, Goldie was two grades above the Boxing Champion Kangaroo.

Punches from the Golden Dazzling Light Boxing Champion Kangaroo didn’t affect Goldie at all. In fact, they accidentally triggered Goldie’s ability to develop and grow bigger.

Though they were supposed to be sparring, Goldie was actually playing with the Kangaroo.

When Goldie saw that Gao Peng had returned, its eyes lit up. It didn’t want to waste time on the kangaroo anymore, so it threw an accurate and fast punch directly.

Bang!

The punch landed precisely on the Golden Dazzling Light Boxing Champion Kangaroo’s nose. Its eyes turned red, with tears coming out.

The nose was a sensitive organ for kangaroos and also a fragile spot for most monsters.

This punch almost knocked out the kangaroo. It covered its nose as it looked at the merciless Goldie with resentment.

Goldie was relentless. Turning around, it sped 300 yards per seconds to where Gao Peng stood. Throwing itself in front of him onto the ground, it started doing push-ups.

While doing its push-ups, it lifted up its head and said, “Gao Peng. I’ve already done 3,966 push-ups today. Aren’t I great?”

Gao Peng nodded and encouraged Goldie.

“Then can I get a raise for next month’s allowance?” Goldie looked at Gao Peng expectantly.

“It’ll go up by 50.” Gao Peng held up five fingers.

Goldie’s eyes lit up, and it did its push-ups even more vigorously.

The Golden Dazzling Light Boxing Champion Kangaroo got up, feeling a bit lost. It would rather do push-ups than challenge me... The Golden Dazzling Light Boxing Champion Kangaroo felt a great sense of loss.

Is it trying to test my will?! The idea dawned on the Golden Dazzling Light Boxing Champion Kangaroo. Then it rushed to Goldie’s front and started doing push-ups as well.

Goldie who was working on its push-ups, looked at the Boxing Champion Kangaroo mockingly, as if it was crazy.

“Sorry, Uncle Xu. Goldie doesn’t really know what’s important,” Gao Peng said apologetically.

“Never mind. Goldie has spent much time playing with my house’s kangaroo. They’re actually very far apart in strength,” Xu Heti expressed his understandings. From what he had seen just then, it was clear that his Golden Dazzling Light Boxing Champion Kangaroo had taken the initiative to attack, while conversely, Goldie hadn’t really retaliated much. They were in completely different leagues.

Xu Heti was there to report company affairs to Grandpa. After he went in and talked with Grandpa for a while, he took the kangaroo and left.

When the kangaroo was leaving, It jumped on its toes, raised its eyebrows, and left.

At night, the mountains outside the windows seemed to have been swallowed by darkness. Only the foot of the mountain had a street light to illuminate a small area.

For the past few days, Flamy had been flying out early in the morning and coming back late at night. Gao Peng didn’t know what it was doing.

Most of the time, it was optimistic and cheerful, but it had seemed a bit depressed lately. While going to the toilet, Gao Peng saw it perching on the branches, looking far into the distance.

Gao Peng flushed the toilet, pulled up his pants, opened the door, and went to the lawn. Flamy heard Gao Peng and turned around. “Gao Peng?”

“Yes. Is something bothering you lately?” Gao Peng sat beneath the tree. Flamy flew down from the tree, tilted its head, and looked at Gao Peng, then turned its gaze back to the lake blankly without answering.

“Are you worried that you’re not losing weight?” Gao Peng couldn’t help but laugh.

Flamy shot Gao Peng a look and then angrily pecked at his arm. “Gao Peng, I’m going to bite you to death!”

Gao Peng pinched Flamy’s beak to stop it from moving further.

Gao Peng suddenly thought of Flamy’s background. He gently patted Flamy’s back and said, “After we come back from Yang Cheng, I’ll bring you back to your birthplace.”

Flamy suddenly stopped pecking. Its eyes lit up. “Really?”

“Really. I don’t lie.” Gao Peng smiled.

Flamy nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

“All right. It’s getting late; you should return to the tree to rest,” Gao Peng patted Flamy’s head.

...

“Mr. Gao, you’re here.” There was someone there to greet Gao Peng when he got off the private plane.

The back of the private plane started to open, and Gao Peng’s familiars came out.

After all, Yang Cheng wasn’t part of the Southern Sky Group’s turf. Although the Southern Sky Group had a branch there, it had no dominance over the city. For the sake of safety, Gao Peng decided to bring all of his familiars except Stripey.

Having four Lord-tier familiars around him gave him a sense of security.

If it weren’t for the fact that the plane wasn’t very big, he might’ve even brought the Wood Peacock Skeleton and other ghouls with him.

“My name is Wang Muzi, and I’m the assistant program director for ‘An Eye for Talent.’ You can just call me Old Wang.” A 40-year-old middle-aged man with a black hat and goatee walked over and shook Gao Peng’s hand enthusiastically. “We’ve already prepared a car for you. We’ll send you to your hotel first.”

“That isn’t necessary. I have a villa here in Yang Cheng. Just send me there directly,” Gao Peng declined.

“...”

In the car, Wang Muzi took the initiative to talk to Gao Peng enthusiastically. “We’ve invited a total of four guests. You’re the youngest among them.”

“Our program is different from other, previous programs. It’s something new that we’ve never done before. Actually, we heard that you were the youngest mid-level Monster Breeder in Chang’an City. The present program is definitely related to Monster Breeders. I’m sure you already know that we’re the official television channel of Yang Cheng, so we’ve gathered a lot of materials and monsters, most of which are unfamiliar to the public; there are also some species that are completely new and have never been seen by anyone before.

“Our selling point for this program is that we’ll be identifying the attributes and characteristics of the materials and monsters. It’ll be both entertaining and educational. This type of show is very popular. Of course, for all the materials used, we’ve invited high-end laboratories to examine their attributes beforehand. You guys only need to perform according to the scripts.”

Gao Peng nodded thoughtfully.
