âOkay, I know.â Gao Peng waved his hand, and the little yellow bird in the sky flew away, chirping.
These are new Familiars bred by the groupâs researchers in the time Gao Peng was gone. Theyâre called Human Speech Birds.
Human Speech Birds can talk in the human tongue, and their IQs arenât any lower than 10-year-old humans.
Gao Peng was intrigued, so it took out a monster core crystal from his pocket. The glimmering yellow core crystal was more dazzling than a diamond.
The Human Speech Bird that was halfway gone turned its body 180 degrees around and landed at Gao Pengâs feet.
It put its two wings together and bowed continuously.
âHappy new year boss, be prosperous boss, marry 100 wives in the new year boss.â
Who taught it these things...
âYou canât say happy new year randomly.â Gao Peng knelt down to rub the Human Speech Birdâs little head and gave it the core crystal.
The Human Speech Bird was so happy its eyes squinted to a slit, and its mouth was flat from smiling.
âA hundred? Iâm going to marry five hundred.â Gao Peng teased the little yellow bird with a grin.
The little yellow bird was astonished when it heard what Gao Peng said. âPervert!â
Gao Peng, â...â
Whose little bird is this, why is it so untamed?
âGoldie.â Gao Peng gave Goldie a look.
Goldie understood.
It took a step forward. Its shadow was hovering over the Human Speech Bird.
The Human Speech Bird raised its head. The sunlight was blocked out, and a giant looked down at it.
It trembled.
The Human Speech Bird spread its wings and got ready to flee when a finger stabbed down like a column.
The Human Speech Birdâs head staggered, it spread its wings and fell on the ground.
Goldie withdrew its carrot-sized finger, letting out a wicked chuckle from its mouth.
It looked at Gao Peng, master and subordinate, chuckling like two heartless tyrants.
âGrandpa, you were looking for me?â Gao Peng walked into the Southern Sky Group plaza.
âYes, there are some things, but theyâre not urgent. Have a cup of tea first.â Ji Hanwu poured a cup of tea for Gao Peng and gestured at him to sit.
Gao Peng sat down, puzzled. He chugged the tea down in one gulp.
âWhat is it, Grandpa?â
âSeveral things. If I donât look for you, youâre probably going to go off again after a while.â Ji Hanwu shook his head. He talked about Gao Peng running off, but he wasnât worried at all.
Gao Peng wasnât awkward having his plans pointed out, he just smiled.
âFirst thing, these foreigners you subdued, since you said they should live on the Continent Emperor Turtle island when we were developing a city, it overlapped with their living area, and there were some conflicts. But these foreigners mightâve been beaten up by you before, so they were pretty easy to talk with.â
âA couple of elders from their tribes came and discussed with me afterward. I decided to take in most of the youths from their tribes into our Southern Sky Group, what do you think?â
Gao Peng blanked. Thatâs what he wanted to tell me?
After a moment of silence, Gao Peng nodded, âLetâs do what you said. But they are foreigners, after all, so they canât be trusted completely yet. Give them some peripheral jobs. Itâs best to incorporate them into the core after a couple of generations, or after exams.â
âRest assured.â
âThe other thing is your Uncle Liuâs Familiar returned from the depths of the Black Fog World. It also brought back a strange item. Go take a look when youâre free.â
âThen letâs go now,â Gao Peng said as he rose.
Uncle Liu settled in a small courtyard on the mountain. The courtyard was located on a clearing on the mountain. There was a fence outside the courtyard, circling a small pond.
Casual and unique, a beautiful sight.
The door to the courtyard was wide open, that fit Uncle Liuâs style.
âGao Peng, thereâs divine aura.â Fatty Big Sea frowned and said in a low voice,
âDivine?â
Gao Peng blanked for a second, nodding without a change in expression.
âYouâre here, Little Gao and Old Ji. I just made some food, come eat with me.â Uncle Liu came out of the house with a bowl and placed it on the wooden table in the courtyard, gesturing at Gao Peng to come over. âI heard Old Ji said you were coming, so I went to buy some dragon meat.â
Gao Peng nodded, looking at the courtyard behind Uncle Liu, a hint of inquisitiveness in his eyes.
âYou sensed it, huh. Itâs that thing in my backyard. My vulture brought it back a while ago.â
âWhereâs the Blood Eye Bearded Vulture?â Gao Peng didnât see the Blood Eye Bearded Vulture. Its body size makes it hard to hide.
âItâs gone off to train, probably behind that hill.â Uncle Liu pointed at a distant mountain with his chopsticks.
After dinner, Uncle Liu brought Gao Peng and Ji Hanwu to his backyard.
The backyard was much more spacious than Gao Peng imagined, an enormous black egg stood in the spacious backyard.
The black egg was five meters tall. Its silhouette looked like a goose egg.
Many dark purple cloud-like patterns ran on the surface of the black egg. The surface also had two layers of black halos around it.
Just from its appearance, you could tell this enormous egg was extraordinary.@@novelbin@@
[Item Name] Innate God of Black Fog (Egg)
[Item Description] The God of Fog fell on the battlefield. After countless years of nirvana, it finally reformed into an egg, but in the process of nirvana, it absorbed a lot of Dark Power, causing some mutations.
Sh*t, a divine egg?
Gao Peng didnât know what to say, perhaps Uncle Liu is the legendary Chosen Son?
Uh...at his age maybe âChosen Sonâ isnât so appropriate. Maybe heâs the legendary âChosen Uncle.â
âBig Sea, if a fallen God congeals into an egg, would it still have memories of the past after birth?â
âNormally, it wouldnât,â Fatty Big Seaâs face was perplexed. âAh, Gao Peng, youâre saying this is a reborn God? I thought it was a Godâs Offspring or Cursed Godâs egg.â
âItâs the God of Fog you mentioned before, the one who fought against many on its own.â
âThatâs it?â Fatty Big Sea looked at the egg with confusion. âI remember it wasnât Dark attribute. Look how black this egg is, itâs almost turned into a thousand-year-old egg.â
Fatty Big Sea cleared its throat, âAfter Gods fallâ take note, a real fall, not those who are heavily injured and fall asleepâ after they fall, their memories disappear, unless theyâve made preparations.â
Uncle Liu, who was listening on the side, hesitated for a long while, âLittle Peng, youâre saying thereâs a God in this egg?â
âYeah.â
âThen, you have it.â Uncle Liu chuckled.
Gao Peng looked at Uncle Liu with shock.
Uncle Liu shook his head, âIâm old. This thing is probably more helpful to you young people.â
âThatâs okay. You take care of it, Uncle Liu. Also, donât let the people from other tribes know,â Gao Peng said seriously, âAlthough it seems like we are in cooperation now. If they find out about this egg...Their tribes have lots of people.â
âYou really donât want it?â Uncle Liu was helpless. âThis is a new yearâs gift from uncle. See, itâs almost a new year, uncle doesnât have anything else good for you.â
Gao Peng didnât know whether he should cry or laugh, but he wasnât being humble either. Heâs about to have a mass of Familiars who are going to become Gods, and he doesnât know when this egg will hatch. By the time it does, itâll be pretty meaningless to him. âThe metal man who returned with me this time is a God...a living one.â
And Dumbyâs going to break through God Tier in two months at most.
âI like to travel around. Iâm more assured leaving this egg at home.â
âThe metal man who returned with you is a God?â Old Ji was bewildered. He thought it was Gao Pengâs friend. He even asked someone to make a bucket of metal water for it to drink.
