Super Gene Hunting Ground

The orange glow emitted from the Genetic Store covered an area of several kilometers nearby.

Yang Xiao felt a flash before his eyes, and suddenly he was standing in the Transmission Array of Magic City, with his Flame Horse and Giant Eagle following out of the array with him.

Immediately, a beautiful woman approached Yang Xiao, smiled lightly, and said:

"May I ask which city's King are you?"

Yang Xiao looked over the woman in front of him. She seemed slightly different from Earthlings, judging by her demeanor, appearance, and attire—she appeared to be similar to Gu Bo and the others from the Genetic Store.

Yang Xiao surveyed the entire plaza. There were about a dozen Iron Tower Warriors, stationed every few tens of meters, stark-faced with their long broadswords at their waists, inducing a sense of familiarity in Yang Xiao.

There were also a dozen or so similarly dressed beautiful women; each of them carried a longsword at their waist, much thinner compared to the broadswords of the Iron Tower Warriors.

Yang Xiao took out the identity marker from his Space Ring.

The beautiful woman's expression changed slightly when she saw the Space Ring on Yang Xiao's finger, showing a bit more of a smile.

Taking the identity marker Yang Xiao handed over, the beautiful woman held it in her hand, and some light emerged from it, displaying some of Yang Xiao's identity information within the glow.

The beautiful woman handed the identity marker back to Yang Xiao and said:

"Please, follow me."

Yang Xiao paused for a moment, pointed to the Flame Horse and Giant Eagle behind him, and asked:

"What about them?"

"The left side of the plaza is specially designated for parking pet monsters. You should take your pets there first, and then follow me upstairs. I will arrange your room and explain some things to pay attention to."

After saying that, the beautiful young woman spoke to a nearby Iron Tower Guard:

"Lead this City King to the adjacent pet gathering plaza."

The Iron Tower Warrior nodded, turned, and walked towards the left side of the plaza. Yang Xiao quickly followed with the Flame Horse and Giant Eagle.

Passing the Global Financial Square on the left, there was a large open space with dozens of various monsters. These monsters stayed on the ground, very quiet, not fighting or biting each other, even devoid of any loud roaring.

An old man came over, glanced at the two monsters beside Yang Xiao, took out two long necklaces, and had Yang Xiao put them around the Flame Horse and Giant Eagle's necks.

After placing the two golden necklaces on the Flame Horse and Giant Eagle, the bodies of the two monsters shuddered, seemingly suppressed by an invisible force, instantly calming down, losing their usual wild nature.

Yang Xiao instantly understood that the dozens of monsters in this space could coexist peacefully, probably all due to the suppressive effect of these golden necklaces.

Yang Xiao patted the Flame Horse and stroked the feathers of the Giant Eagle,

"Stay here calmly."

The old man nearby said:

"You can take them with you at any time, or you can leave them here whenever you want."

Yang Xiao nodded, turned around, and followed the Iron Tower Warrior back to the Global Financial Square, then entered the building following the beautiful young woman.

Entering the building, Yang Xiao was surprised to find that everything was as before; all the lighting equipment was functioning normally. The grand crystal chandeliers, ceiling spotlights, LED electronic displays behind the bar, and so on were all working, showing no signs that this place had experienced an apocalyptic world.

However, aside from a few Iron Tower Warriors and beautiful young women, there were no other people in the lobby, making the building seem eerie.

The beautiful young woman led Yang Xiao into the elevator.

Yes, it was an elevator.

Yang Xiao even touched the golden elevator somewhat incredulously.

The beautiful young woman gave a slight smile, pressed the 68th floor, and then Yang Xiao felt the elevator moving at high speed.

Inside the elevator, it was only Yang Xiao and the beautiful young woman. Yang Xiao wanted to find some topic of conversation, cleared his throat, and asked.

"Beauty, what's your name?"

The young woman smiled slightly,

"I don't have a name, I only have a code name, 16!"

The girl pointed to an identification tag on her chest for Yang Xiao. Yang Xiao had not noticed it at first, but now, after being reminded by the girl, he took a closer look and indeed saw a round, beige tag on the girl's towering left breast, marked with "16".

"You're so beautiful, yet you don't have a name?"

Yang Xiao made small talk.

Ding,

The elevator made a sound and stopped. Yang Xiao looked up and realized they had arrived at the 68th floor.

The girl gestured for Yang Xiao to go ahead.

Yang Xiao stepped out of the elevator, and the girl followed closely behind.

This place used to be a globally famous five-star hotel, but as Yang Xiao walked down the corridor, he saw no service staff, only an Iron Tower Warrior and another equally beautiful girl standing next to the service bar in the hallway.

This time, Yang Xiao paid attention to the tag on the girl's chest, which read 25.

On the chest of the Iron Tower Warrior, Yang Xiao also found an identification tag marked with the number 133. However, unlike the girl's tag, the warrior's was black, with dark numbers that were difficult to see clear at a glance if one didn't pay close attention.

Yang Xiao now remembered that perhaps all the Iron Tower Warriors at the Genetic Store entrance had identification tags; he just hadn't paid much attention before.

Yang Xiao chuckled and preemptively said,

"Hello, beauty number 25."

The stunning woman behind the bar gave Yang Xiao a slight smile and said,

"Please present your identification tag."

Yang Xiao took out his identification tag from the Space Ring and handed it to the woman number 25. The woman glanced at the Space Ring in Yang Xiao's hand and her expression changed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal.

Taking Yang Xiao's tag, she held it in her hand and a light emitted from the tag.

"Alright, Mr. Yang, your room is number 19. Please follow me this way."

Saying this, woman number 25 led Yang Xiao further down the corridor.

Girl number 16, having completed her task, turned and headed for the elevator.

When they arrived at room number 19, the woman used Yang Xiao's tag to swipe on a special reader at the door, and the room door automatically opened.

Girl number 25 said,

"This is your temporary room. The meeting time has not yet arrived."

"When is the meeting?"

"In one month."

"What?"

Yang Xiao blurted out in a foreign language, his mouth agape as he stared at woman number 25.

Are you messing with me? You summon us for a meeting but then say it's in one month. Why not just ask us to come over in a month? Isn't this a waste of my time? I'm eager to go to the desert to improve my Genetic Evolution Level.

The girl seemed to realize what was on Yang Xiao's mind and said with a slight smile,

"The temporary Transmission Array back to Nanmu City has been closed, so you can only stay in Magic City right now. During this month in Magic City, you can move around freely, go wherever you wish, just don't stray too far from Magic City. Otherwise, if we need to urgently find you, it might be troublesome.

In addition, we provide three meals a day here, the restaurant is on the second floor of this building. Uh, lunch will be served in an hour, you can rest for a while and then go down for a meal. Remember, this identification tag is your identity card, without it, you won't be able to enter this building."

After finishing her words, woman number 25 smiled at Yang Xiao and, with a devilish figure, turned and left.

The girl suddenly turned her head and said,

"If you have any demands, you can call me anytime!"

After a cheerful smile, she turned away, and the door gently closed.

Yang Xiao stood in the room, dumbfounded.
