Super Gene Hunting Ground

Yang Xiao deliberately went to Karachi City to purchase a large-sized Tripod Furnace and returned to Wildman Valley, where he tossed in ten times the amount from the last time all at once.

Having already brewed elixirs several times before, Yang Xiao was getting more proficient with the whole brewing process. Although the quantity had increased, there were no problems.

After adding the jam sugar, this batch yielded almost three hundred pills.

After trying Yang Xiao’s new product, the Queen of Wildman was impressed and exclaimed:

”Kid, the dosage was way too much before, the medicine too potent; it nearly caused my old man to collapse from weakness, ah, it’s poisonous, my life is hopeless. Well, this new pill is better, its effects are long-lasting and not harmful to the health, hehe, smart kid, wow, you’ve made so many, how can I possibly use them all up?”

Yang Xiao: ”.....”

Who the hell said it was exclusively for you?

The old man didn’t care and grabbed a handful before running off.

Yang Xiao went to the water pool and gave Black Jinkang a bag of about a hundred Blessing Pills, which Black Jinkang and the Golden Lion King quickly took and distributed to the Demon Beasts who had been eagerly waiting.

...

After spending a month refining elixirs, Yang Xiao remembered the urban development of Earth Village by Gu Beifeng and others, so he flew his spaceship to the mining base.

From 2 or 3 kilometers away from the mining site, Yang Xiao could already see clusters of housings in the distance.

As he got closer, he saw that the whole construction site was swarming with people, busy with building houses and streets.

Gu Beifeng and Du Tianxing were bustling around supervising the workers; they were planning it according to a modern small city layout.

”Yang Xiao, we’ve discussed it and decided to build Earth Village in three stages. The first plan accommodates a population of 2,000 residents, with a dozen various shops and five hundred residences. Once the first stage is complete, we’ll build the second and third stages according to our needs. We’ve already planned the basic infrastructure like the streets, water supply, lighting, drainage, etc.,” said Gu Beifeng while pointing at a blueprint.

Xingyun Piaoxue and Qin Lu had introduced over a dozen various service shops from Karachi City; the owners had paid deposits and were just waiting for Earth Village’s construction to finish, ready to move in with their people and goods.

After pondering a bit, Yang Xiao asked Gu Beifeng:

”Is there a space to build a plaza specifically for docking spaceships?”

”Yes, we’ve built a square capable of accommodating fifty spaceships, right next to Earth Village.”

”Make sure to leave plenty of space, at least plan for one or two hundred spaceships. By the way, have you been transferring to the Black Gold Cards for Pegasus City monthly as I instructed?”

”Don’t worry, I’ve been transferring funds on time.”

”I wonder how Gong Yu and the others are doing lately. I’ve been too busy to check on them.”

”Boss, don’t worry, we’ve been transferring the millions of gold coins monthly; they should be taking good care of them... By the way, we’ve added thirty new mining fields recently, our income is getting higher day by day. According to Qin Lu, you may now be the wealthiest in Purple Origin Star, haha.”

Yang Xiao laughed:

”All these resources might still not be enough for you guys to complete the Emperor Level Evolution. There are four or five people at Gong Yu’s side who are just at the King Level Realm, I must ensure that all of you break through to the Emperor Level.

Rush your cultivation, take advantage of the available Evolution resources and aim to break through the Genetic Transformation Technique early, so that you can advance to Emperor Level sooner.

By the way, are the new mining fields short of Miners?”

”No, quite a few mining field owners have shut down their operations in Pegasus City and transferred their Miners here. I heard from Xingyun Piaoxue that the City Lord of Pegasus City, Long Yue, is about to explode with anger.”

Hearing this, something clicked inside Yang Xiao.

He hadn’t been inquiring much about the mining fields lately, but now he had a bad feeling about it.

Since the opening of Wildman Valley’s mining field, more and more people were attracted, and there were now over 20,000 Miners, most of whom had transferred from other mining fields, mainly from Pegasus City.

This situation would lead to a drastic reduction of workers in Long Yue’s mining fields and a decline in production.

It would be odd if Long Wei were not angry.

Seeing Yang Xiao’s expression turn somewhat troubled, Gu Beifeng asked:

”Boss, what’s wrong?”

”Hmm, nothing, you go on with your work, I’m going to Pegasus City to check on Gong Yu and the others.”

Yang Xiao turned and left, then saw Ah Bao and called out:

”Ah Bao, take ten guards with you, and come with me to Pegasus City.”

...

Pegasus City, Long Yue was furious.

”Lord Long, this month our crystal stone output has decreased by 20%.”

”Why is that?”

”Many private mine owners have pulled their miners out to open mines in Wildman Valley, saying that the ore content in our mines is too low to be profitable, and that the ore content in Wildman Valley is high, making it more cost-effective to mine there than here.”

”Bastards!”

Long Yue picked up a cup from the table and hurled it to the ground.

”Wildman Valley is undercutting me blatantly. For months, they’ve been luring away those private mine owners, showing complete disrespect.”

Long Yue really wanted to immediately gather the army and attack Wildman Valley, but when he thought of his last encounter there and the fact that Wildman Valley now had thousands of experts, as well as the formidable Golden Lion King, he receded in his heart.

A gleam of light flashed in Long Yue’s mind, and he sneered,

”Captain Zhao, come with me to Niu Gao’s mine. Aren’t the brothers that Yang Xiao brought from Earth mining there? Hmph, Yang Xiao has been squeezing me constantly; I want to see if he still cares about the life and death of his compatriots.”

Captain Zhao was startled and said with a bow:

”Yes!”

Half an hour later, Long Yue and Captain Zhao and others arrived at Niu Gao’s mining base by spaceship.

Niu Gao hurried over to welcome Long Yue.

”Stationmaster Niu, tell me, how are those miners from Earth doing now?”

Niu Gao was nervous and said:

”Lord, they are all working hard in the mines.”

”How many hours are they working a day?”

”Fourteen hours.”

”How’s their physical condition?”

”That, it’s alright... not very good.”

”Take me to see them.”

”Yes.”

...

Gong Yu and the other miners were working fourteen hours a day and were extremely exhausted; fortunately, the overseers weren’t very strict, and they could rest in the mine most of the time, with the overseers turning a blind eye.

Furthermore, every night they would receive one or two carcasses from demon beasts, so they were generally able to hold up.

When Long Yue and others arrived, it was noon, and more than fifty miners including Gong Yu were outside having lunch.

The lunch wasn’t too bad, with one jin of meat per person and staple food.

Additionally, the demon beast that everyone had killed the previous night was a mutated four-horned wild buffalo, weighing several thousand jin; they hadn’t finished it last night, and one third was left.

At lunch, everyone gathered around the remaining four-horned wild buffalo, cutting and eating its meat.

Just then, Niu Gao came over with Long Yue and the others.

Upon seeing Gong Yu and the others cutting and eating the wild buffalo meat, both Captain Zhao and Niu Gao’s hearts skipped a beat, thinking, now we’ve done it, Long Yue had ordered the ration for Gong Yu and the others to be halved, and now they’ve got wild buffalo meat to eat.
