It took at least three hours to tidy up the whole place. The monster corpses lying on the floor were piled up according to species and then put inside the freezer. Some of the heavily wounded monsters were immediately put out of their misery, then their body parts were harvested and kept in storage.
Those who had sustained minor to moderate injuries were locked away, either in cages or the Enclosed Chamber.
These monsters had completely lost the will to fight.
Gao Peng had a feeling that these monsters, including the kelpies, Six-Legged Antlered Tortoises, and Golden-Pincered Spotted Prawns, would dominate every store belonging to the Southern Sky Group in Yang Cheng City in a matter of days.
"We'll make up for our losses this time by having the monsters pay for it!" Gao Peng said to the Yang Cheng branch manager, Hou Mu.
"Young master, these monsters don't really fetch high prices. It's true that people are selling them on the market, but there's not much demand for them," said Hou Mu. "Most people would probably be put off by their appearances."
This was true. These monsters weren't attractive in the conventional sense of the word. The kelpie was a sickly-looking thing, like a shriveled-up monkey. It looked even more malnourished with its unkempt hair. Only those with unconventional tastes would even consider buying it. Other than its agile movements, sharp claws, and ability to move more nimbly in water than on dry land, the kelpie simply had nothing else going for it.
In truth, the kelpie's 'unique' traits could be found in any other monster currently being sold on the market, most of which were more visually pleasing than the kelpie.
Gao Peng frowned. He walked towards a silver cage, which the pale-looking kelpie sat in.
Sensing Gao Peng's approach, the demon began scraping its claws against the floor, ready to lash out at Gao Peng as soon as he came close enough.
When Gao Peng's palm came within biting distance, the kelpie leaped into action, its fangs aimed straight at him.
Gao Peng didn't pull his hand back. Instead, he stuck it into the cage and gave the kelpie a karate chop to the head.
The kelpie staggered, feeling as if its head was about to split open at any moment.
Holding its head in its hands, the kelpie retreated to the back of the cage, its eyes never leaving Gao Peng. When they made eye contact with each other, the kelpie edged even further away from him.
[Monster Name]: Coastal Algae Kelpie
[Monster Grade]: Normal
[Monster Level]: Level 14
[Monster Attribute]: Water/Dark type
[Monster Status]: Light injuries, legs injured (Cautious)
[Possible Routes for Promotion to Excellent Grade]: 1. Deep Sea Algae Kelpie (Water Evolution) 2. Gloomy Algae Kelpie (Gloomy Evolution) 3. Terrifying Algae Kelpie (Terror Evolution) 4. Shadow Algae Kelpie (Shadow Evolution) 5. ...
[Description]: It lives near the coast and likes to drown weaker creatures in the water, then feast on their flesh.
The kelpie's Excellent-grade evolutionary routes were presented before Gao Peng in great detail.
Gao Peng frowned at this. For some reason, his statistic-analyzing ability seemed to have been upgraded.
The kelpie had six evolutionary routes in total. After thoroughly examining every one of them, Gao Peng looked at the kelpie. "Sell the dead kelpies for parts. Those that are still alive can stay," said Gao Peng to Hou Mu.
Hou Mu nodded.
Gao Peng then ordered everyone else not to sell the live kelpies straight away before he proceeded to the next cage.
A Six-Legged Antlered Tortoise sat in the next cage. The antlers on its shell were all but broken off. The stubs that remained on its back looked rough and jagged. The tortoise gazed at Gao Peng indifferently as he walked by.
[Monster Name]: Six-Legged Antlered Tortoise
[Monster Grade]: Normal
[Monster Level]: Level 18
[Monster Attribute]:Earth/Wood
[Monster Status]: Moderate injuries, internal bleeding (Indifferent)
[Possible Routes for Promotion to Excellent Grade]: 1. Greenwood Antlered Tortoise (Wood evolution) 2. Six-Legged Bullhorned Tortoise (Earth evolution) 3. ...
[Description]: It lives most of its life in the ocean. Every year, in the middle of winter, it will come ashore to lay its eggs. Not only do the antlers on its shell help it regulate body temperature, blood flow, and other body fluids, they are also a source of nourishment.
The tortoise's possible Excellent-grade evolution routes were presented before Gao Peng as well. What impressed him most was the number of uses the tortoise's antlers seemed to have.
Gao Peng looked at the tortoise and saw that some of the antlers on its shell were already growing back.
"Start raising these tortoises. Make sure their antlers are harvested regularly." Gao Peng picked a broken piece of the tortoise's antler up from the ground. It was completely blackened and didn't seem remarkable in any way. It felt vaguely furry in his hands.
Finally, Gao Peng came to the Golden-Pincered Spotted Prawn's cage. The prawn was seven feet long, including its long pincers.
Golden spots the size of bottle caps covered its brown shell. At a glance, Gao Peng could tell that the prawn was the violent and aggressive type.
"Prepare these prawns for experimentation... No, wait. Forget it. Let's put this on hold for now. Go gather everyone in mid-level management and above," said Gao Peng. After pausing for a moment, he continued, "Meet me at the company's meeting room in an hour.
"Also, contact the hospital. The Southern Sky Group will cover the medical expenses of everyone who was injured. All injured workers will also receive a small compensation," he added.
"Understood."
Gao Peng then made his way to the great hall on the ground floor, which was supported by huge wooden pillars. A red carpet was rolled out across the room, stretching all the way to the base of a platform.
Rows of spotlights shone above the platform.
Gao Peng climbed onto the platform in a clean white suit, his black hair swept back neatly. "Everyone here probably knows who I am... even if you've only seen my pictures."
"The Southern Sky Group's security division played a huge role in fending off the onslaught of monsters," said Gao Peng, motioning to the people sitting on the east side of the room with his right hand.
All of them were clad in black uniforms, with sleeves that seemed to sport red markings. Their faces were solemn. It was as if the battle before had completely changed them.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
