Chapter 302: The Return of the Iron Pot Technique

In the laboratory, Xu Qingzhi carefully threw the Bloody Butcher reagent in her hands into a room. There was a clunk when the bottle of bloodthirsty reagent shattered on the floor.

The smashing of the bottle was like a signal.

The Black Raging Kong that was lazing around the house suddenly got up and rushed over hurriedly, throwing itself over the shattered bottle of Bloody Butcher reagent and starting to rapidly lick it off the ground.

After licking for a while, it was as if the reagent wasn’t strong enough. It used its arms to push itself up, the fur on its chest sticky with bits of glass stuck all over it.

The Black Raging Kong’s breathing grew heavier, and its eyes turned red. It started to growl furiously…

Bang! Gao Peng smacked the door with his left hand, and Xu Qingzhi turned around in shock.

“Help me deal with the ingredients.” Gao Peng turned and left after speaking.

Xu Qingzhi turned and looked at the commotion the Black Raging Kong was causing. She didn’t know whether or not her experiment had been successful.

Since the boss had already told her to help him, she could only take her things back into the laboratory obediently.

Soon, she arrived at the laboratory. Having two people deal with the ingredients increased the speed of the process considerably.

It didn’t take more than half an hour for them to process all of the ingredients.

Gao Peng couldn’t help but sigh when he saw the steps of the method on the data frame.

Is it true that all rodent types monsters have to get past this stage?! I can’t help but feel hesitant about this step.

Gao Peng took a deep breath and motioned for Xu Qingzhi to leave, then he walked to a big cabinet, bent down, opened the cabinet, and took out a large pot.

All the ingredients were already prepared. He simply put the correct measurements into the pot at the correct time.

The liquid in the pot boiled.

Gao Peng shook his head violently. I shouldn’t imagine things! This is just a pot of the reagent.

The liquid in the pot boiled even more, and a strange aroma filled the laboratory. It smelled like overcooked pumpkins. A sweet scent drifted into Gao Peng’s nose.

Gao Peng waved to the Prosperity Mouse.

The Prosperity Mouse looked over obediently. It nodded towards Gao Peng and lightly hopped onto the table.

“Nice rat.” Gao Peng patted the Prosperity Mouse gently on its back.

He then pointed towards the pot and said, “Jump inside.”

Questioning him, the Prosperity Mouse looked up, stunned. It stared into Gao Peng’s cold and emotionless eyes.

“Well, jump inside.”

The Prosperity Mouse gulped. It kept widening its bean-sized eyes. Even if its eyes had been wide enough to see through flowers, it couldn’t see anything at that moment.

The pot was filled with a thick yellow liquid.

It might have tasted a little strange, but everything else about it was fine.

Gao Peng saw that the Prosperity Mouse wasn’t very brave, so he decided to give it a little help. He lifted his right hand, aimed it at the Prosperity Mouse, and gave it a light push.

Before the Prosperity Mouse could react, it had already fallen into the pot like a dumpling falling into a pot of soup.

With a bang, Gao Peng slammed the lid shut.

Only miserable howls and squeals could vaguely be heard.

Gao Peng lifted up the lid after ten minutes, then used a pair of long glass sticks to grab the Prosperity Mouse and keep stirring it inside the pot.

A strange fragrance filled the air…

The Prosperity Mouse’s eyes turned white, its belly became round, and its tail pointed upwards. Gao Peng took it out of the pot, aimed at its belly, and gave it a tap. The reagent gushed out of its mouth like a fountain.

Before the Prosperity Mouse could rest, Gao Peng threw it back into the pot again.

The sound of miserable howls reverberated in the laboratory…

The cooking lasted half an hour this time. It was boiled until the yellow liquid became clear and transparent, like water.

The Prosperity Mouse changed drastically; its body went from being all gold to all yellow. It had become much thinner and lost quite a bit of mass.

So ugly… Gao Peng squinted his eyes. Why is this b*stard getting uglier as it evolves?

The Prosperity Mouse that had just come out of the pot was soaked. Its fur was clumped together, and its tail laid on the floor listlessly.

It exerted great effort to lie on the table, looking at Gao Peng with a degree of fear in its eyes.

[Monster Name]: Treasure Sniffing Rodent

[Monster Level]: Level 18

[Monster Grade]: Excellent

[Monster Attribute]: Mystic

[Monster State]: Healthy (Dispirited)

[Monster Introduction]: Evolved from the Prosperity Mouse. It’s extremely sensitive to the smell of treasure. It’s able to sniff out the odor of treasure that it passes by.

[Requirements for Promotion to Perfect Grade]: …

It only went up to the Excellent grade. There’s still a lot of room for growth. The increase shouldn’t have been too huge.

Gao Peng looked at the pathways for it to reach the Perfect grade. This time, there were only two left.

The last time he had checked, there had been three pathways for its evolution, but now there were only two left. Is it possible that Mystic types are that rare? Even the evolution pathways are so limited.

One of the evolutionary pathways this time was to strengthen the treasure finding ability of the Treasure Sniffing Rodent. The other was to evolve it into a Treasure Swallowing Rodent that could grow by eating treasure. The latter option would give it a slew of Mystic-type abilities.

Both routes sounded good, so Gao Peng began to use the method of exclusion.

His family was rich, and he had a lot of treasure at home, so of course he would choose to strengthen its treasure hunting ability.

He didn’t need to rely on the creature to be able to attack. He only needed it for its treasure hunting abilities. Moreover, the Treasure Swallowing Rodent… One glance and one would know that it was a loser, which didn’t suit Gao Peng’s taste.

He took his phone out of his pocket, called the logistics department, and asked them to send a batch of materials to him from the warehouse.

This batch had all the materials, except for the blood of an Emperor-tier monster, which wasn’t a big problem.

Gao Peng asked the logistics department to send the other materials over. He would collect the blood of an Emperor-tier monster himself.

He first thought of Stripey. Since Stripey was his own familiar, it would be easier. However, after thinking about it, he realized that it would be quite difficult to get Stripey’s blood.

That left the White Dragon.

“White Dragon!” Gao Peng shouted by the lake.

The tranquil water started to rumble, then half of a white head emerged from the lake. It looked at Gao Peng suspiciously.

“White Dragon, come here. I want to borrow something from you.” Gao Peng waved his hands.

“Fuuuuu—”

A giant beast slowly flew out from the lake, its snow white claws shining brightly under the sun. The White Dragon looked down at Gao Peng from above and spat water out of its nostrils, which created a rainbow under the sunlight.

Gao Peng stepped forward and lifted a large bucket in his hands.

“Brother dragon, I need to borrow some of your blood. I only need one bucket.”

The White Dragon widened its eyes and growled threateningly with its throat.

“Okay, okay. I already told Grandpa. Didn’t Grandpa already talk to you?”

In the end, the White Dragon reluctantly lifted up its left arm, then used the claws on its right hand to create a small wound on itself.

Fresh blood gushed out of the wound. Some of the blood splashed outside the bucket and hit Gao Peng’s hands.

The White Dragon’s blood was hot, and Gao Peng was able to initially feel warmth on his hands, but the temperature suddenly dropped down. The back of his hands felt colder and colder, as if ice had formed on them. A bitter chill started to spread inwards and quickly, his hands became stiffer and stiffer.
