Even if it was injured, there would still be people who would get on their knees to beg for it.
The main reason was that he already had Stripey. There was no need to sign a Blood Contract with another spider type, and it was also a spider type that was damaged. Although Stripey wasn’t very brave, it was still a force to be reckoned with if it got jealous.
Huang Ya was called over by Gao Peng early in the morning. He didn’t specify what it was for, only that it was a good thing.
If Master Gao said it was a good thing, then it must mean it was good.
Ever since Gao Peng had given him that magical drug for his Red Blood War Horse, Huang Ya’s opinion of him had greatly improved.
After using the drug, his Red Blood War Horse had evolved and become even more magical. Its fur became even redder, plus its figure grew bigger. The most obvious change was Huang Ya’s increase in strength from the Feedback he received from his familiar.
The only way to become stronger through Feedback besides leveling up one’s familiar was to promote the familiar’s grade.
This was also one of the simplest methods people used to figure out what grade their familiars were.
He received instructions from Chairman Ji that he would be under Gao Peng’s command from now on. When he heard that order, he had very mixed feelings.
He owed Chairman Ji his life, and he also owed him a big favor, which was why he was willing to give his life to Chairman Ji. He knew that if it hadn’t been for Chairman Ji, he would’ve been long gone, and his child would have been calling some other man his father.
Although he had only graduated high school, he knew one very important fact. It was something that his late mother had taught him.
It was to repay those who had helped you.
He owed Chairman Ji his life, so he was willing to give his life for the chairman.
However, he was still just a human with human emotions. Even though Ji Hanwu had spoken very courteously when he told him to take care of Gao Peng, it didn’t feel good to be given away like an object.
These weren’t ancient times. People’s personalities were shaped by their surroundings.
Huang Ya wasn’t a very cultured person, but even he valued the modern values of personal freedom.
Huang Ya gathered his thoughts and focused his mind. He turned towards the laboratory, walked forward, and opened the door. The light in the room was already on. It was evident that Gao Peng came in very early in the morning.
After a while, a very large truck came from the distance. That truck carried a very large spider.
One of the workers jumped out of the truck and said curiously, “Huh, how strange. This female spider was struggling so hard just now, but now that we’re here, it stopped struggling.” The other workers also started to mutter. It was a bit unbelievable.
“Maybe this big spider sensed Master Gao’s presence,” one of the workers suddenly said.
“Shut your mouth. Sensed his presence? What nonsense are you talking about? If Gao Peng heard what you said he might fire your *ss.” One of the older workers didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Even if you want to grovel, you don’t need to go overboard.
The laboratory’s door opened and Gao Peng walked out. After talking with the workers, they started to bring the Horrifying Violent Female Spider out from the back of the truck.
“Master Gao.” When Huang Ya saw Gao Peng, he felt a bit shaken. Although he felt emotionally conflicted at that moment, he steadied himself and walked towards Gao Peng.
Behind him was his Red Blood War Horse.
The Red Blood War Horse’s eyes sparkled when he saw Gao Peng. It remembered this man, the man who had given it that tasty drink, that drink that made it felt stronger after it drank it.
This was a very magical man!
The Red Blood War Horse walked forward and looked at Gao Peng eagerly, then lowered its head and rubbed against Gao Peng’s shoulder.
Huang Ya’s mouth started to twitch. You… you don’t even let me touch you.
“Old Huang… Is it okay to call you Old Huang?” Gao Peng thought for a while and decided to be direct. “Do you want a Lord-tier familiar?”
Huang Ya visibly pulled back. “What… what are you talking about?”
“I can give you a Lord-tier familiar… of course, you know that there are no guarantees, but if you work hard, you’ll better your chances.”
“Of course I do!” Huang Ya took a deep breath to calm himself. He turned to look at the Horrifying Violent Female Spider. Is this giant spider type familiar the Lord-tier familiar Master Gao is talking about?”
Although the Horrifying Violent Female Spider didn’t release a Lord-tier aura, its extreme size still seemed intimidating to other creatures around it.
“I’m not giving it to you for free. After I give you this Lord-tier familiar, you’ll need to bear some responsibilities,” Gao Peng muttered. “Signing a Blood Contract with a Lord-tier familiar doesn’t make you invincible. You need to work hard to train it. You cannot slack off.”
“That’s a given!” Huang Ya nodded enthusiastically.
This was a basic requirement. He would definitely not slack off.
“In addition, you’ll also need to step up as the Southern Sky Group’s new hero. You will be sent out to deal with trouble, and you will be acting on our behalf.”
Huang Ya was silent for a while, but then he nodded furiously.
There were no free lunches in the world. He was able to understand this simple concept.
“I hope you won’t disappoint my grandfather.” Gao Peng smiled mildly, then immediately turned over to look at the tied down Horrifying Violent Female Spider.
“Do you recognize me?” Gao Peng walked two steps forward. He did so to let the Horrifying Violent Female Spider take a closer look at him.
The Horrifying Violent Female Spider on the floor was shocked for a short while, its eyes turning red, and it started to roar furiously. It remembered! It remembered that this man had been there on the day it had been captured!
“You’ve failed in promoting in the past. If nothing changes, you’ll be stuck at your current level for your whole life,” Gao Peng said calmly. He patted Stripey on the head and asked it to translate for him.
Eagerly, Stripey started to translate for its master. It did so while looking very vicious.
They didn’t have any trouble communicating, since they were both spiders.
What Gao Peng said seemed to strike a nerve. After it finished listening to Stripey’s translation, the Horrifying Violent Female Spider gave off an ominous glint from its eyes. It looked at Gao Peng angrily.
Gao Peng gave a light laugh. “Don’t look at me like that. You need me if you want to evolve. Only I can help you finish your evolution.”
Stripey lifted up his legs and kicked at the grass as it spoke. It looked at the Horrifying Violent Female Spider with ferocity.
The Horrifying Violent Female Spider first grew angry, but then it stayed still. A red light flashed in its eyes, revealing deep desire and endless greed. It immediately responded.
“Master, it said if you could help it evolve, it would promise not to eat you. It will also forgive you for capturing it.”
After it finished translating, Stripey become even more furious. “This spider is too much. It dares to speak to Master like that! Master, let me eat it!”
Gao Peng waved his hands. With a smile on his face, he looked at this tied up Horrifying Violent Female Spider. “It seems this beautiful lady spider doesn’t understand the situation it’s in right now.”
When Stripey heard what Gao Peng said, it gleefully clasped its hands together. Its eyes were full of anticipation.
