Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 95: Chapter 95 Focused Development of Skills

”You still don’t understand. You sold to the Genetic Store for one thousand Crystal Coins. If you buy from the Genetic Store, it’ll be at least double, over two thousand Gold Coins, understand?”

”Yeah!”

Long Yongjun nodded vigorously. His mind wasn’t on the money, but on the blade. Compared to the golden short knife from earlier in the day, this one was a meter long and its power doubled when held in hand.

”For one week, you will hunt with our team, without allocation of any Genetic Fragments, unless there is a special contribution, okay?”

”No problem, boss. Even for two weeks, I can do that.”

Yang Xiao smiled and said:

”It’s yours now, take good care of it. Tomorrow, go to the Genetic Store for appraisal; you’ll need to learn the Dog Blood Blade Technique. A tough battle awaits you, I guess.”

”What tough battle?”

Long Yongjun was startled.

”Heh, we took things from Kong Tianqing. Do you think he’ll let it slide? He’ll definitely come to Kongming Academy to reclaim this Dog Blood Blade.”

Upon hearing this, Long Yongjun’s eyebrows shot straight up and he shouted:

”He dares, let him come, and I’ll chop him!”

”That depends on whether you have the skills.”

”Boss, don’t worry. If Kong Tianqing dares to come, I promise he’ll have no return.”

Long Yongjun touched the golden Dog Blood Blade with both hands, swearing.

Yang Xiao smiled and then held up ten Genetic Disks and said:

”These ten Genetic Disks are mine. Anyone have objections?”

”I have an objection.”

Chen Fei pouted.

Yang Xiao was momentarily stunned, ”What objection?”

”Boss, the Dog Blood Blade, the Blade Technique, and these ten Enhanced Gene Discs should all belong to you. Only then you can truly exert the maximum power of the Dog Blood Blade!”

Long Yongjun, slightly embarrassed, said to Chen Fei:

”I think so too, boss, you should...”

Yang Xiao waved his hand and said:

”No more nonsense, that’s the decision. No matter how strong I become, I can’t defeat everyone. Team battles rely on cooperation, everyone needs to improve,

Long Yongjun will be our team’s shield, charging ahead and drawing aggro. He needs high Strength, Agility, and Defense. He deserves the best equipment and skills, so we can safely attack from the side.

Chen Fei, be objective—if Long Yongjun doesn’t hold the monster, can you calmly shoot Ice Ball?”

Chen Fei nodded upon hearing this.

”Moreover, let’s be clear, we will acquire more equipment and learn more skills. Everyone needs to be selective in learning skills; focus on enhancing certain skills. Low-level skills, when raised to level nine, can be deadlier than high-level skills at level 1 or 2.

I don’t dislike the Dog Blood Blade; it’s just that my Feather Arrow Skill has just reached level 2 and will soon level up to 3. Though it’s a basic skill, if it reaches level nine, it can also be astonishingly powerful and should not be underestimated. Plus, it’s a long-range attack, not inferior to the Dog Blood Blade technique.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

”Alright, let’s not waste this mutated dog. Are you hungry? Let’s roast some dog meat. Long Yongjun, go fetch more branches.”

The mutated dog weighed at least five hundred pounds. Yang Xiao hacked off two dog legs, handing them to Chen Fei, while Qin Yu went to roast them. He hacked off two more dog legs for himself to grill.

One dog leg weighed forty or fifty pounds.

”Boss, can we really eat that much?”

Deng Xiao looked at Yang Xiao suspiciously.

Chen Fei laughed, ”Our boss’s Beast Soul is Zhu Bajie, of course, he can eat it.”

Yang Xiao pinched Chen Fei’s cheek playfully,

”Who’s Zhu Bajie now!”

”Haha...”

Everyone burst into laughter.

In a moment, the aroma of roasted dog meat spread. Yang Xiao took out the Golden Bee Sword, sliced the outer layer of cooked meat from a dog leg, and chewed it, eating while grilling, as electric currents flickered through his body and quickly disappeared.

Yang Xiao noticed that with his Genetic Evolution, his capability to consume food had become stronger and stronger. In just over ten minutes, he devoured a whole dog leg.

Qin Yu and the others only ate a pound or two before stopping, all watching Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao, keeping his head down, said while chewing:

”Don’t look at me. Eat and then sleep. I’ll keep watch. Oh, also give me your roasted dog legs.”

The three girls handed their roasted dog meat to Yang Xiao before huddling together near the campfire to rest with their eyes closed.

Long Yongjun, excited from receiving the Dog Blood Blade and Blade Technique, said:

”Boss, I can’t sleep anyway, I’ll keep you company and grill for you.”

”Alright then.”

Then, to Long Yongjun’s surprise, Yang Xiao ate four dog legs.

”Should I slice more meat?”

”Of course, add some branches, make the fire bigger.”

Yang Xiao stood up and cut half of the mutated dog’s body, removed the entrails, and set it on the campfire.

The meat of enhanced Genetic Monsters contained much stronger energy than that of primordial Genetic Monsters. About halfway through eating, a light in his mind appeared, and he concentrated to see:

A message appeared in the Genetic Data System:

”You can now enhance 1 attribute point, please select.”

Yang Xiao, without hesitation, selected Agility.

Although his Strength, Agility, Defense, and Wisdom were balanced, given limited resources, he planned to prioritize one Genetic Attribute, then gradually enhance the other three as resources increased.

Long Yongjun, also sleepy later, fell asleep on a tree trunk after helping Yang Xiao hang up the last half of the dog meat.

Yang Xiao continued to eat the meat voraciously, even eating some half-raw, only to find, puzzled, that raw meat contained more energy than cooked meat.

”Damn, is this going to force me to eat raw meat?”

The thought of his future beastly image of drinking blood made Yang Xiao feel rather nauseated and difficult to accept.

However, the current dog meat was still worth a try.

Seeing Qin Yu and the others asleep, Yang Xiao took down the half-cooked dog meat from the fire, placed it beside him, and used the Golden Bee Sword to slice pieces, chewing them.

Intense electric currents continuously surged through his body.

Just as Yang Xiao was about to finish the last bit of dog meat, a light flashed again in his mind, allowing him to gain 1 more point in Agility.

Yang Xiao’s current Genetic Data System was as follows:

Strength 7 points, Agility 9 points, Defense 5 points, Wisdom 5 points.

If Yang Xiao used the sparrow bow now, Agility could temporarily increase to 12 points. Such Agility among ordinary people in Kongming Academy was already exceptional, essentially allowing continuous shooting, significantly increasing Yang Xiao’s long-range attack damage.

The next step for Yang Xiao was to continually improve the Feather Arrow Skill and hopefully acquire a better bow.
