Super Gene Hunting Ground

”You old geezer!”

Caixia slammed the window shut with a bang.

Then, Yang Xiao heard the sound of footsteps ”clacking” above the floorboards.

Yang Xiao couldn’t hold it any longer and chuckled.

Elder Zhan awkwardly laughed and said:

”That young wife, she’s a fiery one.”

Bing’er then said:

”Why isn’t Aunt Caixia coming down yet?”

With a ”creak,” the shop door opened.

Caixia came out, her eyes angrily glaring at Elder Zhan before fixing her gaze on Yang Xiao.

Objectively speaking, Yang Xiao’s demeanor was entirely different from that of the people in the slums.

The people in the slums mostly lived in hardship, dressed simply, even somewhat dirty, unlike Yang Xiao who was handsome, suave, exuding a commanding presence, dressed cleanly with sophisticated clothing.

Demeanor reflects a person’s life experiences, especially someone like Yang Xiao who, on Earth, grew from a timid scholar into a regional tyrant,

After arriving at Purple Origin Star, he was also able to strategize and win battles from afar, eventually unifying the barbarian tribes and earning the qualification to confront the Witch Star people.

Yang Xiao’s broad vision and perspective are not something ordinary people can match; such training is not available to everyone.

The partners who came with Yang Xiao, Gu Beifeng, Du Tianxing, Xia Luo, etc., also increasingly lagged behind Yang Xiao in bearing.

Demeanor is something that develops imperceptibly.

Yang Xiao stood on this slum’s commercial street, naturally exuding an aura, like a shining gem among pebbles, standing out.

Yang Xiao glanced at Caixia, her skin snowy white, dressed fashionably, lightly scented with perfume, exuding a mature flavor.

Looking at Yang Xiao, Caixia’s anger finally dissipated, and she smiled slightly,

”Elder Zhan, who is this gentleman?”

”Cough, this is my younger son, Zhan Mu.”

”Ah?”

Caixia opened her mouth wide, looking astonished.

She glanced at Yang Xiao, then at Elder Zhan, blurting out,

”How did you have such a son?”

Elder Zhan: ”.....”

Yang Xiao: ”...”

Upon hearing this, Bing’er was not pleased, raised her little face, and said loudly:

”He’s my uncle!”

Caixia chuckled softly:

”I didn’t expect Elder Zhan to have such a handsome son, really misjudged.”

Elder Zhan coughed lightly,

”My son Zhan Mu lived elsewhere since childhood, only recently came back here to find us. Sigh, less nonsense, how do you rent out your shop?”

Caixia glanced at Yang Xiao and said:

”Rent the shop? Two thousand Crystal Coins a month.”

”If you buy it?”

Yang Xiao asked.

Hearing this, Caixia froze for a moment,

”Do you want to buy my shop?”

”Yes, name a price?”

Caixia hesitated for a moment, thought about it, then said:

”My shop is quite prosperous, used to have great business. Speaking of selling it now, I really feel reluctant.”

Elder Zhan somewhat impatiently said:

”A-Wang’s wife, just name a price first. If it’s too expensive, we might not buy it.”

Caixia glared at Elder Zhan, said very unhappily:

”Elder Zhan, stop calling me A-Wang’s wife all the time, call me Caixia instead. My husband has long passed away.”

After speaking, she twisted her waist slightly, her chest trembling a bit, looking at Yang Xiao with a gentle smile:

”Young Master Zhan, surely it’s you who wants to buy this shop, what kind of business are you planning?”

”I’m buying it to open a dessert shop for my father. Just name a price, if it’s suitable, I’ll buy it; if not, I’ll go buy another shop.”

Caixia couldn’t run the shop herself, living here alone was a waste; internally, she also wanted to sell it, but in this slum, where would people have the money to buy a shop?

Most people would rather set up a mobile stall outside than spend this foolish money, just like Elder Zhan selling desserts.

Caixia hesitated for a bit and said:

”If you really want to buy it, give me 100,000 Crystal Coins.”

”100,000? Why don’t you just rob it?”

Elder Zhan immediately jumped, shouting in surprise.

100,000 Crystal Coins far exceeded his affordability range, moreover, Yang Xiao only sold a sword for 8,000 Crystal Coins; should he still ask Yang Xiao to sell swords? How many swords could he possibly sell?

Caixia chuckled softly and said:

”Elder Zhan, do you have any vision at all? My shop is a prosperous place, you think it’s like your mobile dessert stall? Mine is a two-story building,

if I were you, I’d stick to running your dessert stall. Buying a shop is just putting your son in a trap.”

After speaking, she gave Yang Xiao a meaningful glance.

”You?” Elder Zhan rolled his eyes in anger.

”Forget it, what’s the point of talking without money, I’m going back to rest.”

Caixia turned around to head back inside.

”80,000 Crystal Coins, if it’s acceptable, let’s make a deal.”

Yang Xiao said calmly.

Caixia stopped and turned to look at Yang Xiao.

”You really want to buy?”

Elder Zhan quickly said:

”Zhan Mu, too expensive, don’t buy, don’t buy.”

”I really want to buy, 80,000 Crystal Coins; if you agree, we can close the deal now; if not, I’ll go buy another shop.”

Caixia rolled her eyes, sighed, and said:

”Young Master Zhan, 80,000 is really too cheap; how about at least 90,000 Crystal Coins?”

”Deal.”

Caixia: ”...”

Elder Zhan: ”...”

Bing’er was filled with joy and excitement.

Caixia always felt like she fell into Yang Xiao’s trap, somewhat unwilling, said:

”Let me think about it.”

”Okay, you think about it, Father, let’s go check other shops.”

”Uncle, that one ahead, Uncle Niu’s shop, only requires 70,000 Crystal Coins, it’s 20,000 cheaper; I think that one is good.”

Bing’er said.

Yang Xiao held Bing’er’s hand and walked forward.

Caixia’s mind instantly flooded with multiple thoughts, engaged in fierce internal conflict. Although her shop was indeed good, there were really few people in this slum willing to offer 90,000 Crystal Coins to buy her shop. Others offered a maximum of 80,000 Crystal Coins; Yang Xiao was the first to bid 90,000 Crystal Coins.

Once they missed this opportunity, she didn’t know when the next chance to sell would come.

Caixia gritted her teeth and shouted at the backs of Yang Xiao and the others:

”Fine, 90,000 it is, it’s yours.”

Yang Xiao stopped, turned around.

”Deal.”

Caixia’s husband used to do pancake business, and Caixia managed all the finances. The shop’s daily turnover wasn’t small, so she had a Black Gold Card and a transfer device.

Elder Zhan found several neighbors as witnesses and recorded a simple video documenting the deal.

Yang Xiao transferred the 90,000 Crystal Coins to Caixia on the spot, finalizing the transaction.

After selling the property, Caixia suddenly felt a bit reluctant, her heart empty.

”Elder Zhan, Young Master Zhan, I need two days to pack up, is that okay?”

Elder Zhan generously laughed and said:

”Hehe, no problem, we’re not planning to open that soon anyway.”
