Super Gene Hunting Ground

Yang Xiao suddenly had a premonition that something was wrong, and turned around to run towards the nearby spaceship.

”Boss, where are you going?”

Seeing Yang Xiao’s anxious look, Black Jinkang called out in confusion.

”I have something to take care of, you enjoy yourself.”

Yang Xiao piloted the spaceship into the sky and flew towards Earth Village.

”Ah Bao, where’s the Great Chief?”

Yang Xiao found Ah Bao in the office courtyard of Earth Village.

Ah Bao laughed and said:

”The Great Chief is either at the casino, the brothel, or the sauna club.”

Damn, this old man really knows how to enjoy himself!

”Boss, do you need the Great Chief for something? Should I send someone to find him for you?”

”No need, I’ll go myself.”

Yang Xiao went to the brothel first and asked the lady at the reception.

The Wildman King was a celebrity in Earth Village and a regular here, widely recognized by almost everyone.

”Has the Great Chief been here?”

”Ah, yes, he was here, but just left. I heard him say he was hungry and went to a nearby restaurant for a meal, and took two of our girls with him.”

Damn!

A curse popped into Yang Xiao’s mind.

There are currently only two restaurants in Earth Village. Yang Xiao turned around and went to the first one, Wild Taste of the Four Seas, and found the Wildman King in a small private room on the second floor.

The Wildman King was drinking, accompanied by two young, pretty girls.

Seeing Yang Xiao enter, the Wildman King’s old face turned red, and he smiled awkwardly, saying:

”You haven’t eaten yet, right? Come, join us, we’ve only just begun.”

”You two go to the lobby on the first floor, I have something to discuss with the Great Chief.”

The two girls, who had been brought out from the brothel to drink with the Great Chief, immediately lowered their heads at Yang Xiao’s words:

”Yes.”

And they hurriedly got up and left.

Yang Xiao closed the private room’s door and sat across from the Wildman King, smiling:

”You’re really enjoying yourself, aren’t you? Aren’t you afraid of breaking the hearts of the middle-aged women in Wildman Valley?

Haven’t you been back to Wildman Valley for a while? Today I ran into Aunt Wang and Aunt Li; they’re going crazy looking for you. Do you want me to bring them here to see you?”

Chi Lin and the others are currently managing the entire Wildman City. For ease of addressing among the Wildmen, they introduced Earth surnames and names to the Wildman tribe, giving everyone a Chinese name.

The Great Chief’s name was Wang Tao.

Upon hearing this, the Wildman King was immediately alarmed and waved his hand:

”You brat, don’t you dare bring those old women to Earth Village. Just let me have a few peaceful days; I’ve already handed over the leadership of Wildman Valley to you. Have a bit of conscience!”

Yang Xiao chuckled and said:

”Aunt Wang and Aunt Li said they’ve been with you since they were young. How can you be so heartless?”

”Pfft!”

The Wildman King spat out a mouthful of wine and retorted:

”They’re just talking nonsense. Their husbands died early, and I was just being kind, visiting them occasionally, but I ended up getting entangled with them.

Alas, I can only blame myself for being too soft-hearted and too handsome. Come on, tell me what’s up, don’t bother this old man with gossip.”

Yang Xiao: ”@#￥%”

”Have you broken through your Genetic Evolution Bottleneck?”

”Huh? What are you saying? I don’t understand.”

The Wildman King was stunned, looking at Yang Xiao.

”Still pretending with me? Not telling the truth? I’ll stop your supply of Blessing Pills starting today!”

”Hey, you brat, is that how you treat your elders? I not only gave you my beautiful granddaughter but also passed on the position of successor to Wildman Valley to you...”

”Alright, stop changing the subject, I already know about the Blessing Pill issue.”

Yang Xiao interrupted the Wildman King’s act of playing dumb.

Hearing this, the Wildman King finally restrained his nonsense and said seriously:

”How did you know?”

”Don’t worry about how I know. Tell me about your current situation, have you broken through?”

The Wildman King smiled mysteriously and finally nodded.

”Sigh, honestly, I don’t know what’s happening either. Recently, I’ve always felt some strange sensations in my body. I feel lighter, more energetic, like I’m transforming, and look, haven’t my white hairs changed a bit?”

The old man pointed at his white hair.

Yang Xiao glanced at it and was truly stunned.

The Wildman King used to have a full head of silver hair, but now, there were even some strands of gray-black hair visible. Although not many, it was indeed a new phenomenon.

”Have you broken through to the Emperor Level then?”

”Pfft!”

The Wildman King chuckled and said:

”You’re daydreaming. Breaking through to the Emperor Level isn’t that easy.

I haven’t had any progress in decades. It’s just that recently, I feel the Genetic Attribute Value inside me surging.

That feeling is similar to how I felt when I boosted my Genetic Evolution decades ago.

The key is, I feel like my body’s genetic structure is undergoing some sort of remodeling process, but I can’t say exactly.

Didn’t you take the Blessing Pill too? Didn’t you feel anything?”

”Me? I’ve only eaten it a few times, unlike you, old man, who eats it every day. Ahem, you little brat, you’ve got three young and pretty wives, while I can’t just live my days hugging a few old grannies, right?

How did you know that the Blessing Pill could change Genetic Evolution?”

Yang Xiao immediately told the Wildman King about the issue with Black Jinkang.

”Damn, a gorilla’s had more Blessing Pills than me. You little traitor, that’s low.”

Yang Xiao shot the old man a look and said:

”Can your body compete with a beast’s? Are you out of your mind?”

The Wildman King chuckled:

”That’s true, hmm, what do you plan to do now?”

Yang Xiao thought for a moment and said:

”This prescription was obtained from a Wildman elder’s cave, and it seems the Wildman elder’s words were correct. This prescription indeed has the potential to modify Genetic Evolution and help break through to the Emperor Level. However, I made an error while refining the elixir,

According to the Wildman elder’s explanation on the cave wall, this was originally a toxic elixir that could put a person in a near-death state and then slowly recover, altering their genes,

But I accidentally turned it into a potion that enhances special abilities, though it still retains some of the gene-modifying effects.”

”I think it’s great! Enjoy the pleasure while getting your genes modified.” The Wildman King laughed.

”The Wildman elder’s method of making the elixir is impossible to examine, and that near-death recipe certainly carries great risks. If the dosage isn’t managed well, it might lead to real death, which would be a big danger,

I suggest you roll with it, keep refining it, and let me be your guinea pig, test it out more, hehe.”

Yang Xiao nodded, since there wasn’t a better solution at the moment. As this elixir could aid in Genetic Evolution, this was the temporary approach.

Yang Xiao left the tavern and, passing through the hall, saw two young sisters still waiting. He sent them up to keep the old man company for drinks, while he headed to Huang Mi’s Tai Chi Go Hall.

Upon seeing Yang Xiao, Huang Mi smiled and said:

”Yang Brother, haven’t seen you recently, what have you been up to?”

”Just busy with random stuff. How’s business here?”

”I didn’t open the Go Hall for money, just for fun. Thankfully, there are some cultured people in Earth Village who frequently drop by for a game. Brother Qin and Brother Xingyun come by every day, but without you, it’s less fun.”

Yang Xiao glanced at Huang Mi and teased:

”Brother Huang has such a handsome face, too bad you’re not a woman, or I’d come to see you every day.”

Huang Mi’s pale cheeks turned a rosy hue, and he laughed:

”Not satisfied with your three lovely wives at home, Yang Brother? By the way, I do have a sister. If you like, I can introduce her to you next time.”

”Ah, you’ve got a sister? You’ve never mentioned her?”

”She’s on Witch Star. When you visit Witch Star sometime, I’ll introduce her to you. She’s absolutely a first-class beauty.”

”Great, you don’t mind me having three lovely wives and still want to push your sister into the fire?”

”Haha, my sister likes men with heroic spirit. Besides, whether she’ll truly fancy you is another story, don’t celebrate too soon.”

Yang Xiao chuckled and said:

”Stop joking. Since I’m here, let’s have a game.”

”Alright, it’s been a while since we played.”

The two set up the Go board and began their battle.

After three games, Huang Mi was defeated all three times.

”No more, I’ll send someone to get Qin Lu and Xingyun, let’s have a meal together?”

”Good.”

Huang Mi sent someone to the neighboring brothel and gambling house to call them, while he brewed tea for Yang Xiao.

”Yang Brother, are you thinking of participating in next year’s Go Tournament? If you join, the championship is definitely yours.”

”It’s not that significant to me, is it?”

”Don’t you want to go see Witch Star?

You’ll also have the opportunity to play against the Grandmaster of Go from our Great Dragon Empire; not everyone gets such a chance,

Even Karachi City’s Master Xue Rong has only played three games with our Great Dragon Empire’s top Go Grandmaster,

Rumor has it that after those three games, Master Xue Rong gained numerous insights, drastically improving his skills, and his spiritual power surged, achieving his current master status.”

”Now that you mention it, I’m intrigued. If it’s convenient next year, I’ll join the Go competition, but if I do, what will happen to you?”

”Haha, even if you don’t join, I still might not beat Xue Rong’s top disciple.”

As they talked, Xingyun Piaoxue and Qin Lu arrived together.

”Oh, Yang Brother, it’s so hard to get a glimpse of you these days.”

The two shook hands and hugged Yang Xiao. They were used to joking around and had no sense of distance.

The four of them went to a nearby restaurant, got a private room, and chatted while they ate.

Xingyun Piaoxue said:

”I returned from Karachi City yesterday and heard from my brother-in-law that over on Witch Star, the Great Dragon Empire and Snow Wolf Empire were having a fierce battle. We finally gained the upper hand, but now the situation has shifted subtly.”

”What changed?”

”I heard that the Emperor of Snow Wolf Empire is in talks with the Emperor of Youming Empire, hoping to form an alliance to attack our Great Dragon Empire together.”

”Damn, if that’s the case, our Great Dragon Empire is bound to lose. This is not good news.”

”Wasn’t the Youming Empire always neutral? Why suddenly join the war?”

”It’s said that Snow Wolf Empire plans to give all the mining bases on Purple Origin Star to Youming Empire as a bargaining chip for their help on Witch Star battlefield, joining forces against us.

Additionally, from what my brother-in-law said, the Eldest Prince will soon return to Witch Star, leading troops to station on our Purple Origin Star.”

”Is this for real?”

”My brother-in-law just mentioned it as a possibility. It’s the latest news from his friends on Witch Star. If the Eldest Prince comes to Purple Origin Star and commands Karachi City and Pegasus City, it will also pose a threat to the mining bases of Youming Empire and Snow Wolf Empire, preventing them from teaming up against us. Purple Origin Star might become a second battlefield among the three empires.”

Hearing this, Yang Xiao was taken aback. If the Eldest Prince really came to Purple Origin Star, with it becoming a second battlefield, Wildman City would likely be dragged into the war too. This was not good news.

(There will be another update this evening; posting three times daily these days, with a total word count of about ten thousand, similar to the previous five posts. This is done purely to increase the average subscriptions for the book, haha!)
