Super Gene Hunting Ground

Jino City Lord glanced at Gustone and laughed:

”Brother Gustone, I heard that young fellow named Yang Xiao came to seek you out?”

In Karachi City, there is nothing that the City Lord of Jino doesn’t know about.

Yang Xiao’s visit to Gustone, requesting to set up in the Genetic Store, was naturally known to him long ago.

As partners in the mining field, David, Elder Qin, and Yang Xiao all lack special backgrounds. Coupled with the fact that their mining field is located in the Primitive Forest, where wild people live, it was very strange that Gustone immediately granted Yang Xiao a Genetic Store.

Gustone said with a slight smile:

”That’s right, Yang Xiao found me and beseeched me earnestly, hoping I would deploy a Genetic Store for him. Alas, I have a soft heart and cannot bear to see tears, so I agreed to him. What, Brother Jino, do you have an opinion?”

Jino immediately replied:

”Don’t get me wrong, the affairs of the Genetic Store are within your jurisdiction, and I’m not someone who doesn’t understand the ways of the world to question your business with the Genetic Store.

I’m just curious, so many have applied for Genetic Stores and have been rejected, why did you prioritize granting one to that kid, Yang Xiao?”

”Hehe, Brother Jino, earlier you asked me if you could go to the Wildman Valley’s Primitive Forest for mining, right? Being old friends for many years, I’ll offer you this sincere advice: It’s better not to go there.”

”Why?”

”Brother Jino, you said it yourself just now; the situation is somewhat strange. How could the wild people allow dozens of mining bases on their territory? How could they permit thousands of people to enter the Primitive Forest without any issue?

There’s only one explanation: there’s a problem.

As for what the problem is specifically, I don’t know either. We might as well wait and see,

It’s getting late. I’m heading back now, we can play chess another day.”

After Gustone left, Jino pondered for a while and then instructed his subordinates:

”Go and tally for me, how many have applied to open mines in the Primitive Forest now?”

”City Lord, there are currently 128 private mines that have applied, with 82 of those mining fields already established and gradually starting to mine.”

”That many already?”

”Yes. In recent times, mining in that section of the Primitive Forest has become the hottest thing in Karachi City.”

Jino nodded and said:

”Let them be. After all, this can improve the production of Crystal Stones. War God will surely be pleased to know we’ve increased our Crystal Stone output.”

...

Qin Lu finally learned about his father’s secret mining operations in the Primitive Forest and immediately sought out Yang Xiao.

”Brother Yang, there’s trouble. My father has opened three mines in the Primitive Forest. I just found out today; he’s been keeping it from me.”

Yang Xiao laughed and said:

”It’s normal. The entire Primitive Forest is so popular now; who could resist the temptation not to come here to mine? Your father is a businessman after all; he goes wherever there’s a mine.”

”But, Brother Yang,”

”Since you’ve told me, as brothers, you go back and tell your father to stop investing,

However, I reckon he won’t stop. So, at the very least, from now on, make sure he doesn’t show his face at the mining sites in the Primitive Forest. Otherwise, if something happens, don’t blame me for not caring about brotherhood.”

Qin Lu had followed Yang Xiao for so long and knew him well; he knew that Yang Xiao meant what he said, and although he did not know exactly what precautions Yang Xiao had in place, he sensed danger.

Qin Lu rushed to his father’s mining field on his Spaceship and indeed found his father, Elder Qin.

Upon seeing his son, Qin Lu, Elder Qin was initially startled, then chuckled:

”Son, how did you know I was here?”

”I went back to our old mine, and they told me you were opening new mines here.”

Elder Qin proudly gesticulated and said,

”Son, look, it’s fortunate your father is quick-witted. By investing here in time, I’ve now opened three mining fields and discovered twenty veins; the shafts are all ready, and we’ll soon be in full-scale production. How about that? Your dad is impressive, isn’t he?”

Qin Lu looked around to ensure no one else was present, closed the door, and then waved his hand to form a Defense Light Screen around himself and his father.

”Father, listen to me, you must take everyone and leave here immediately.”

”Why?”

Elder Qin was taken aback.

”Do you really think that pies fall from the sky? Hundreds of mines have opened in the Primitive Forest, and the four to five thousand tribespeople in Wildman Valley haven’t made a peep, not to mention the Demon Beasts deep in the mountains haven’t attacked you. Do you think this is normal?”

Elder Qin, upon hearing this, nonchalantly said:

”Kid, you’re still green. You’ve been swayed by Yang Xiao. Things have progressed so fast, perhaps even Yang Xiao himself didn’t anticipate it. Once he started mining, a large number of people followed along, and the situation has already exceeded his control.

Imagine, with over a hundred mines in the Primitive Forest, a powerful force has already been formed. At this time, would the tribespeople dare to attack lightly? Do you think we wouldn’t unite and strike back at their tribes?”

”Father, things are not as simple as you think, believe me.”

”Do you know something?”

”No, I don’t know the specifics, but, I do believe that Yang Xiao is definitely preparing something, it’s just that the time isn’t ripe yet. He was the one who personally told me to tell you to leave.”

Elder Qin hesitated for a moment, looked at his son,

”Should we really leave?”

”Yes, Yang Xiao told me himself. I believe he won’t deceive me. You must leave immediately, with your people.”

”But, father has invested tens of billions of Crystal Coins, just to leave like this? What if Yang Xiao can’t control the situation? Once I leave, won’t others snatch away these mines?”

Elder Qin was very reluctant.

Qin Lu, without any choice, said:

”At the least, you yourself must leave immediately. If you want to take a gamble, you can leave the miners.

But, if you lose that bet, don’t blame your son, nor Yang Xiao.”

Elder Qin, looking at his son’s determined eyes, had no choice but to compromise, saying:

”Alright, I’ll leave first and let the miners continue the work. If there’s no trouble, I’ll come back.”

Qin Lu personally watched his father depart on a Spaceship before returning to base.

...

Yang Xiao and Ah Bao, with a dozen tribespeople guards, came near the watering hole where Black Jinkang and the Golden Lion King were often seen, and found Black Jinkang.

Black Jinkang was lying under a big tree, his eyes half-shut, using a female gorilla’s thigh as a pillow, sleeping. The female gorilla was feeding him grape-like fruit, stuffing them into his mouth one by one.

Two other female gorillas were massaging Black Jinkang on the side.

The Golden Lion King sat nearby, out of sheer boredom.

From a distance, upon seeing Yang Xiao and Ah Bao approaching, the Golden Lion King reached out to pull a handful of fur from Black Jinkang’s thigh.

”Ow—”

Black Jinkang let out a painful cry, immediately sitting up.

The Golden Lion King had already leaped fifty to sixty meters away to greet Yang Xiao.

Black Jinkang pushed away the two massaging female gorillas and leaped up in pursuit, roaring loudly:

”Stupid lion, why pull the fur on my thigh? Just wait and I’ll strip you of your yellow hair.”

The Golden Lion King ran up to Yang Xiao and quickly squatted down, bowing his head to embrace Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao patted Golden Lion King, laughing:

”You see how comfortably Black Jinkang is living. You should learn from him.”

”Boss, I really wouldn’t. Am I supposed to find a female gorilla? That’s so tasteless!”

”Pfft!”

Yang Xiao burst into laughter.

Black Jinkang caught up,

”Boss, it’s been a while since you visited me. Missed me, huh?”

Black Jinkang lowered his head and rubbed against Yang Xiao, chuckling, and had already forgotten about going to pull the Golden Lion King’s fur.

Yang Xiao patted Black Jinkang, saying:

”Help me with a big favor!”
