Chapter 511 Seven Brothers (2/2)

”Big Brother is right.”

”Listen to Big Brother.”

”He's the smartest, so he definitely won't lie to us.”

The ant that had spoken walked up and gave Gao Peng a proud look. ”I don't want it.”

”That won't do. I insist that you eat it,” Gao Peng urged.

The little Dragon Ant answered slyly, ”If you insist.”

After eating the essence, the Dragon Ants began to lower their guard and open up to Gao Peng.

Gao Peng decided to give it a name. ”You have big eyes and thick brows. I'll call you Elder Baby, then.”

The little Dragon Ant paused for a moment before retorting in frustration, ”I already have a name… My mom named me Yi Jin…”

”Your name is Elder Baby now!” said Goldie in a commanding tone. Not taking ”no” for an answer, Goldie walked up to the ant.

The little Dragon Ant was stunned. It had never seen a duck bully an ant. It suddenly missed its mother. If its mom were still here, she would never have allowed a weirdo to bully them.

”But my name was…”

”No 'buts!'” Goldie lifted the little Dragon Ant up like a little toy. ”Kid, don't tell me you don't like this name?” Goldie said in a slow, suggestive tone.

The little Dragon Ant heard the thinly veiled threat from the duck and decided not to talk back anymore. ”Whatever you say, then,” replied the little ant unwillingly.

”Yes, good boy,” said Goldie, satisfied. How can I be the only one with a mundane name like Goldie while you guys get cool names?

”Gao Peng, can I name our future comrades?” asked Goldie excitedly. It seemed to think this was a fun thing to do.

As expected, Gao Peng rejected its proposal. Looking at the dumb little duckling, Gao Peng suddenly felt a sense of guilt. He reminisced on how cute and innocent this yellow duckling had once been. What could have moved an innocent duck to this horrible state?

This suddenly reminded Gao Peng of that tall creature lost in movies and TV shows… This memory stirred a tinge of sadness into Gao Peng's heart, ”You can't name any new comrades we find later. But you can name the remaining six Dragon Ants, appropriately.”

Goldie's face lit up. ”Thanks, boss.”

Moneymaker ran over and hugged Gao Peng's legs. ”Master, there's still treasure inside,” Moneymaker said as it pointed at the Dragon Ant's nest.

Gao Peng asked it to describe the grade of the treasure inside. Moneymaker scratched its head before saying, ”About three that are super heart-throbbing.”

Moneymaker described the grade of treasure using a scale of ”heart-throbbing,” which started from ”heart-throbbing,” then ”super heart-throbbing,” and finally, ”super super heart-throbbing…” Its grading system was marked by the number of times it said ”super.”

Usually, a ”heart-throbbing” grade treasure was equal to Normal or Elite-tier monsters. And by that assumption, it didn't seem like its taste had improved, but Moneymaker could hold more surprises now that it had leveled up. The three ”super heart-throbbing” items were likely treasure or materials that could be used by King-tier monsters. Since the monsters under his possession could probably use it, Gao Peng brought a few monsters to collect the materials in the nest.

Gao Peng decided to leave the little Dragon Ants behind. It wasn't exactly ethical to pick their home clean in front of them.

”Gao Peng, I'm done naming them,” said Goldie happily, the seven Dragon Ants following right behind it. The one trailing behind walked listlessly, its face filled with despair.

”This is Elder Baby, Second Baby, Third Baby... this is Sixth Baby, and Baldie.” Goldie felt happy. This little Dragon Ant will be called Baldie instead of me. I'm a genius! Sigh. I guess this is the pain of growing up. I never expected to become a cruel and unfeeling duck one day.
