Chapter 6 Black Raging Kong’s Weakness (1/2)

Gao Peng raised his head, and looked towards the back of the school bus. In the back row was a boy with a quiff haircut, wearing skinny jeans and a floral patterned shirt. He even had piercings on his ears. He was sitting arrogantly with his two arms resting on the two seats next to his. Next to him was a hulking back figure that looked like a dense dark cloud. Even while sitting down, it was a head taller than him.

This quiff-head's name was Hai Lanyu.

Within the class, he and Gao Peng were polar opposites. While Gao Peng was quiet and low-key, Hai Lanyu was loud and flashy, and the most boisterous presence in class.

Most importantly, his results were amongst the worst in class. Because of this, he had an inexplicable dislike for students with good grades, to the extent that he could not stand the sight of them.

Hai Lanyu laughed slightly while petting his Black Raging Kong, who was sitting next to him, with a proud expression on his face.

This was the birthday present that he just gotten from his father this year! It was, in the true meaning of the word, his first Familiar. One could only establish a Blood Contract after turning eighteen. According to the research results published by the Allied Government, only after the age of eighteen would establishing a Blood Contract not harm the body in any way. Hence, with this knowledge, all the various schools were informed to prohibit any student from establishing Blood Contracts before they turned eighteen.

This year, just after turning eighteen, Hai Lanyu's father had brought him to the Monster Trade Center within the city center to buy him this Black Raging Kong.

Although the Black Raging Kong was only a normal grade monster, it was still one of the highest ranking monsters within the normal grade. By properly training it and leveling it, there was a high possibility of it being promoted to an elite tier monster.

Monster tiers were classified as [Normal], [Elite], [Commander], and so on.

Within each tier, monsters could have different grades, classified as [Normal], [Excellent], [Perfect], and so on.

Other than the monster's tier, its grade was also a factor that affected its combat ability.

A monster's tier could be seen as the cultivation of a monster, whereas the grade could be seen as the difference in combat ability within monsters of the same species in the same tier. For instance, a legendary grade OP character could take on thousands of normal grade creeps of the same tier, or even take on opponents within higher tiers.

Gao Peng took a look at Hai Lanyu and the Black Raging Kong next to him and promptly sat down on a random seat.

Hai Lanyu took that as a sign of fear and could not help but laugh out loud, even whistling in delight.

Gao Peng gently comforted Da Zi who was sitting by his leg. He held Da Zi's antennae from the base and stroked it all the way up to the tip, repeating this motion again and again.

Da Zi slowly began to calm down, its eyes squinting and its mandibles opening and closing. The yellow claws that ran across its body were also shaking slightly in delight.

While seemingly comforting Da Zi in a calm manner, Gao Peng was actually looking at the data that had appeared in his mind.

[Monster Name]: Black Raging Kong

[Monster Weakness]: 1. Poison 2. Spines from the Needle Palm contain paralyzing toxin that can cause severe scurvy effects in Black Raging Kongs.

[Requirements for Promotion to Excellent Grade]: …

Gao Peng secretly committed the words ”Needle Palm” to his memory, and at the same time began to think of where he could find those trees.

Needle Palms were newly evolved plants that appeared after the cataclysm; they originally belonged to the palm family. The palm family was a large group of plants that included plants like the hedge bamboo, Alexandra palm, and the Chinese fan palm.

Needle Palms were not rare. It was not possible to determine what species of palm the Needle Palm evolved from, but plants from the palm family had a wide distribution in the south. There were even some planted in the city, so they were not a rare type of plant.
