Super Gene Hunting Ground

Xiao Zhe looked at Yang Xiao, his eyes dazed.

"Boss, I didn't catch that just now, please say it again."

Yang Xiao chuckled and said:

"Feeling unconfident? I said we'll take over Shanyun City. Once we've taken down Shanyun City, we will merge it with Nanmu City. Then Star Moon Lake will belong to our inland water, and I doubt anyone in the entire Kongming City region will threaten us. At least until the cold winter is over, we will be safe."

Yang Xiao's plan wasn't just to simply take over Shanyun City. Sooner or later, he would leave Nanmu City to venture elsewhere. However, this place was his foundation, where his friends lived. He couldn't just leave and ignore them.

Should the day come when he must go, he hopes that, in his absence, his friends and peers in Nanmu City can live safely, not subjugated or swallowed by others. He hopes that Xiao Zhe, Long Yongjun, Qin Yu, Huang Wen, and others can continue to live carefree lives, not constantly worrying about their fate the next minute.

Moreover, Shanyun City is adjacent to Bright Moon City, Yang Xiao's hometown. Although he has prepared for the worst, he still wants to return home to visit, even if it's just to see the ruins buried under heavy snow.

The City King conference of the Xuanming Region will be held in one month, and Yang Xiao must capture Shanyun City before then.

Xiao Zhe swallowed hard, looking at Yang Xiao:

"Boss, it's good to have such ambition, but our current strength isn't stronger than Yue Ying of Shanyun City, is it? The reality is, whoever crosses the fifty kilometers of frozen Star Moon Lake to attack will be at a disadvantage, and the defending side always has the upper hand."

Yang Xiao smiled faintly, walked up to Xiao Zhe, and patted his shoulder,

"I know all that you've said, don't worry. By the way, has Long Yongjun upgraded to Primordial Gene Intermediate?"

"He had upgraded long ago. Now the resources he has every day can support upgrading 2 people to the intermediate level. I've been waiting for you to come back and approve who gets prioritized for the upgrade. Right now, Nanmu City has about 2 million Crystal Coins handed to me. Following your last arrangement, I opened another Black Crystal Card at the Genetic Store and stored everything in it."

"Good, you arrange for about ten people with higher composite genetic data to evolve to Primordial Gene Intermediate, and let Xia Luo evolve to Primordial Gene Advanced. Wait until we have enough resources, then you and Long Yongjun upgrade to advanced,

you go now to Star Moon Lake, have Xia Luo complete his genetic evolution at the Genetic Store nearby, and also carry out the genetic evolution of the other ten or so people."

"Okay, but these ten or so people need to be split into two locations, some in Nanmu City and others in Star Moon Town."

Yang Xiao nodded, Xiao Zhe turned around and left.

Yang Xiao closed the door of the room, and took out that black bottle. Last time it had evolved to Enhanced Gene Primary Level, and it was now time to further enhance.

Yang Xiao found that as his genetic evolution level increased, the sensation of electric current produced after drinking the milky liquid from the small bottle did not seem as intense as before, and the speed of drinking it had also increased.

Half an hour later, Yang Xiao drank most of the bottle, and a prompt appeared in his Genetic Data System:

"Eligible for a 2-point upgrade in genetic attributes."

Having hunted 30 monsters in the middle of the desert could only upgrade 2 genetic attributes, which indeed made it much more challenging than before.

Yang Xiao chose to upgrade 2 points in Agility.

With the enhanced Agility, not only his movement and running speed improved, but also the speed of his reactions in combat.

In terms of attack power, he has godlike soul skills, so the urgency to enhance strength is less; priority can be given to enhancing agility first, and then gradually strength, defense, wisdom.

Yang Xiao's current Genetic Data System is as follows:

Strength 40, Agility 42, Defense 40, Wisdom 40,

Skill Cultivation Method: Feathered Arrow maxed, Golden Bee Sword Skill maxed, Longquan Spear Technique level 2, Snow Wolf Frenzy Howl level 1

Soul Skill: One Finger Splitting Earth, Sweeping Void, Black Hole Swallowing

Equipment:

Armor of the pangolin, +8 defense;

Longquan Spear, +8 Strength, +10% Lightning Damage;

Necklace, +4 Agility;

Bracelet, +4 Agility;

Wind-controlling Boots, +20% Movement Speed;

Yang Xiao arrived at the Genetic Store.

"Old man, any new jewelry lately?"

"Honestly speaking, most of the jewelry and equipment, weapons are from monsters you guys kill, our Genetic Store is just acting as a trading intermediary. Weapons and Armor have a relatively higher chance of dropping, while jewelry has a lower probability. Many people keep it for themselves or give it away. There's less selling to stores,

Another part of jewelry is crafted by our alchemists, which are produced in low quantities. Even if supplied, it's distributed based on the levels of each city. Currently, Nanmu City is level 11, unable to get better jewelry from alchemists. Even in Wentian City and Magic City, high-quality jewelry is in great demand."

Yang Xiao helplessly left the Genetic Store and went to the Transmission Array, teleporting directly to the desert.

By this time it was already afternoon in the desert, and most people had returned to their bases for rest.

Zhou Jian and others saw Yang Xiao coming out of the transmission array from afar and immediately went up to greet him.

"Yang Xiao, I've been looking everywhere for you but couldn't find you. You left the Flame Horse and Giant Eagle nearby, but you were nowhere to be seen?"

"Hmm, I went back to Nanmu City."

"We hunted a desert ostrich this afternoon, with high-level enhanced genes. We wanted to invite you for dinner, their bonfire is already lit. I just don't know whether you prefer raw or cooked?"

Yang Xiao smiled:

"Either is fine."

The Flame Horse and Giant Eagle's senses are very sharp; they sensed Yang Xiao as soon as he exited the transmission array and immediately ran over to him.

Yang Xiao patted the Flame Horse and stroked the Giant Eagle, then followed Zhou Jian to their camp.

Zhou Yu, Xi Hui, and others were sitting together, in the middle of them was a huge desert ostrich, Yang Xiao roughly estimated, it weighed over a thousand kilograms.

Seeing Yang Xiao approaching, Zhou Yu and others immediately stood up to welcome him, after this morning's hunting of the giant crab, in their minds, Yang Xiao was now akin to a god.

"Brother Yang!"

"Brother Yang!"

...

Yang Xiao nodded and sat down with Zhou Jian.

Zhou Jian introduced:

"This is a Fire Spray Camel, its fire spray is spectacular, just like the ignition port of the old oil drilling platforms. Moreover, it runs exceptionally fast, if it weren't for our two bird beast soul companions, we wouldn't have been able to catch up with it."

The Fire Spray Camel couldn't combat in the air, so facing two bird-men, it was brutally beaten, and with Zhou Jian and other six people attacking on the ground, after a two-hour battle, Zhou Jian and his team finally defeated the Fire Spray Camel by sheer numbers.

"By the way, Yang Xiao, this Fire Spray Camel did drop a good item."

Zhou Jian proudly said.

"Oh? What is it?"

"A pair of Wind-controlling Boots, +26% Movement Speed."
