Super Gene Hunting Ground

In a refined room on the second floor, Yang Xiao and Gustone sat at a round table, with Gu Si standing to the side.

Gustone personally handed a cup of tea to Yang Xiao.

”Mr. Yang, please have some tea.”

The tea was a deep red color, emitting a faint fragrance.

Yang Xiao took a gentle sip and felt a warm current enter his body, making him feel very comfortable.

”Excellent tea!”

Yang Xiao exclaimed with praise.

The situation had taken a turn, and he was now at ease, knowing the value of the jade pendant Gu Bo had given him, his heart was no longer in a panic.

”Mm, this is Qi Tea refined by the Alchemy Association, it clears the mind, invigorates the spirit, replenishes Qi, and has great benefits for the body. If Mr. Yang likes it, I will give you a box,

Gu Si, go get a box of tea to present to Mr. Yang.”

Gu Si quickly retrieved a round tin from a tea cabinet nearby and placed it on the table in front of Yang Xiao.

”How could I accept this?”

Yang Xiao said with a smile.

”Mr. Yang is a friend of the Great Elder, so please don’t be polite.”

Yang Xiao thought it would seem insincere to be too polite, so he immediately said:

”Then I thank you very much.”

He placed the box of Qi Tea into his Space Ring.

”Mr. Yang, I would like to ask you a few questions, if I may.”

”Feel free to ask.”

”Is the Great Elder in good health?”

”Are you talking about old Gu Bo... Great Elder Gu Bo? Rest assured, he’s very robust. I’ve been with him for over a year and never seen him sick. Every day we play chess, chat, run, work out, cultivate, eat barbecue, and have hot pot together, it’s quite delightful.”

It’s important to brag when necessary.

Yang Xiao wasn’t lying; he often played chess and chatted with Gu Bo, and Gu Bo had indeed had his barbeque a few times.

But Yang Xiao made it sound like old Gu Bo was inseparable from him and exceptionally close.

Gustone was very pleased to hear this and his respect for Yang Xiao grew even more.

”Besides giving you this Jade Token, did the Great Elder say anything else?”

”Not much else, he just instructed me that if I encountered any difficulties, I should show his Jade Token at any Genetic Store to seek help, and said that no matter my request, the Genetic Store would definitely help me fulfill it,

Ah, to tell you the truth, I don’t even know his real identity. When he was on Earth, he was just an ordinary manager of a Genetic Store. I felt sorry for him, being all alone, so I often looked after him, chatted with him to relieve his boredom, invited him for meals, and we became familiar...

Now that I’ve encountered some difficulties, I suddenly remembered this Jade Token old Gu Bo gave me, not knowing if it’d be of any use, so I recklessly came over here, almost...”

Gu Si, standing to the side, heard this and tensed up, looking quite nervous.

Yang Xiao looked up and gave Gu Si a slight smile, then continued:

”Fortunately, this gentleman, Mr. Gu Si, is observant and warm-hearted. Otherwise, I would have thought old Gu Bo was a fraud and would have thrown this Jade Token into the trash can the moment I stepped outside.”

Gustone glanced at Gu Si and said indifferently:

”If he had missed this opportunity, he would have had only death ahead of him.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Si’s body slightly trembled, and large beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

Yang Xiao quickly said:

”Mr. Gu Si is very good, otherwise, I wouldn’t be sitting across from you now.”

Gustone nodded slightly and softly inquired:

”By the way, Mr. Yang, whatever difficulties you have, just speak, and I will certainly help you resolve them.”

Yang Xiao was startled and then said:

”The situation is like this. I was a miner brought over from Earth by the Great Dragon Empire, but now, I have already acquired formal identification from the Great Dragon Empire,”

Yang Xiao took out the blue Jade Token and handed it to Gustone.

”In a stroke of luck, I reached an agreement with the king of the Wildman Tribe in a Primitive Forest where they reside. It allows me to develop a Crystal Stone Mine,

the mining base has already been established, and now I want to apply for two Genetic Stores, one to be situated in Wildman Valley and one in my newly developed base,

Originally, the application was submitted through my partner David, the station head, but the officials here said it was against the rules to allow a Genetic Store to settle in, so I’m wondering, is there any way to make this work?”

Yang Xiao now had Gu Bo’s Jade Token in his hand, but he didn’t dare to insist that the other party dispatch two Genetic Stores. However, he cleverly proposed the need for two Genetic Stores, laying the groundwork for the future.

Gustone listened and smiled slightly, saying:

”This matter isn’t really a big problem.”

Yang Xiao’s heart leaped with joy when he heard this, seeing a glimmer of hope.

”However, there are still some complications.”

Yang Xiao’s expression changed,

Damn it, why can’t you just say everything at once?

Seeing Yang Xiao’s change in expression, Gustone immediately reassured him:

”Master Yang, don’t worry, let me finish speaking. We have an agreement with several Imperial powers of Witch Star, not to provide goods to the Wildman Tribes on Purple Origin Star,

I personally do not have the authority to breach this agreement, so for now, it might not be possible to introduce a Genetic Store into Wildman Valley.

However, establishing a Genetic Store at your mining base shouldn’t be a problem. I’ve reviewed the application submitted by David,

The mining base is a joint investment by David, you, and Elder Qin (Yang Xiao holds 20% of the Wildman shares on their behalf, making it a 60% share in the agreement for himself),

All three of you are from the Great Dragon Empire of Witch Star, fully qualifying you as applicants. The only issue is that the mine is located within Wildman territory,

This problem can also be accommodated,

By slightly amending the location of the area, just say it’s near the edge of the Wildman Forest, so that we can have an easier time explaining things to those above us.”

”Would this cause any trouble for you?”

Yang Xiao asked disingenuously.

Gustone chuckled and replied:

”I do have the authority to do this much. To be honest, even if I were to approve a Genetic Store to settle in Wildman Valley, it wouldn’t be a big deal, but considering your future safety, I’d rather not approve it for now.”

Yang Xiao was stunned, ”What do you mean by that?”

”If a Genetic Store settles in your mining base, it’s totally legitimate, but setting one up in Wildman Valley is too conspicuous and could lead to many chain reactions, which wouldn’t be good for you.”

”Thank you, Elder Gustone, for the advice.”

”Master Yang, no need to be courteous. You are a friend of the Great Elder, and he specifically requested in the Jade Pendant that we look after you. We will definitely make things convenient for you, and if you need any help in the future, just come to me.”

”Alright, thanks a lot, Old Gu Bo is indeed a man of his word!”

Yang Xiao suddenly realized something wasn’t right and quickly corrected himself:

”I mean, Great Elder Gu Bo. Ah, I am used to calling him ’old man’ back on Earth, and he seems quite happy with it. I just can’t get used to the change so quickly, don’t take offense.”

Gustone laughed:

”The titles you and the Great Elder use for each other are not for us to interfere with. You’re fortunate to have such a bond. Stay for dinner tonight, it’s on me.”

”How could I, I mean, I’ve got a few friends waiting outside, and there’s a lot of us, we wouldn’t want to impose.”

”No worries, everyone can come along. If the Great Elder finds out that you haven’t even had a meal, I’d really have some explaining to do.”

”Ah, in that case, I’ll take you up on your offer.”

Yang Xiao suddenly realized something and asked:

”So, does the Genetic Store have to wait half a year before it can settle in?”

”Haha, half a year? I’ll send someone to your mining base tomorrow, don’t worry.”

”Thank you so much, Elder Gustone!”

Yang Xiao sighed to himself, crows are the same color all over the world, whether it’s Earth or an alien planet, it’s all the same, where there are people, there’s a Jianghu,

Ah, it really is good to have connections in high places!
