Super Gene Hunting Ground

On the way back, Caixia was ecstatic, occasionally transforming into a colorful bird flying in mid-air, shooting several Fiery Feather Arrows at certain targets, and feeling a burst of accomplishment as she heard the booming sound of their explosions.

Elder Zhan was also overjoyed, at over 70 years old, suddenly behaving like a child.

Going from Intermediate Enhancement to High-Level Enhancement greatly helped improve Elder Zhan’s combat power, and he also gained an additional soul skill.

Bing’er realized she was the only one who lost out.

”Uncle, Grandpa and Aunt Caixia each spent hundreds of thousands of crystal coins, and I didn’t get anything, it’s not fair,”

Bing’er pouted.

Yang Xiao chuckled and said:

”You’ve eaten snacks all day and still think it’s not enough? Besides, from now on, you have two experts by your side to protect you and serve you. You are the biggest beneficiary.”

Bing’er giggled at this,

”That’s right, so now I’m not the big boss of the slums anymore? From now on, Little Fatty, Little Bear, and the others won’t dare to bully me, otherwise, I’ll have Sister Caixia beat them up, hehe...”

Yang Xiao and the others chatted and laughed all the way back to the slums.

Elder Zhan and Caixia suddenly felt that life could indeed be this wonderful, and even the nights in the slums were this beautiful.

Yang Xiao ran upstairs to continue reading those gene evolution books he hadn’t finished.

...

At this moment, in the Genetic Store Headquarters in Dragon City, a young man hurriedly entered the room of Gu Hai, the person in charge.

”Sir Hai, Yang Xiao’s Black Crystal Card has been used again, the location is one of our Genetic Stores in the western part of Dragon City.”

Gu Hai was taken aback and asked:

”What exactly was purchased with this Black Gold Card?”

”My clearance level is too low to see.”

Gu Hai stood up and followed the young man into a special room. He entered alone, closed the door, and input a clearance password to begin querying the spending details of Yang Xiao’s Black Crystal Card.

”A total of 1.63 million crystal coins were spent, primarily on genetic potions and weapons and equipment.....

Hmm, the weapons and equipment purchased don’t seem right; their level is quite low and obviously not suitable for Yang Xiao’s genetic evolution stage.”

With doubts in mind, Gu Hai arrived at the Genetic Store where Yang Xiao had just made a purchase.

The store owner noticed Gu Hai and immediately stood up to greet him.

”Subordinate greets Sir Hai!”

”No need for formalities, follow me to your office.”

Gu Hai and the store owner walked into an office, closing the door behind them.

”Let me ask you, did someone just spend 1.63 million crystal coins here with a Black Gold Card?”

The store owner was momentarily stunned and said:

”Yes, Sir Hai, is there a problem?”

”What did that person look like?”

”Well, he was wearing a black cloak, covering about a third of his face. I think he was intentionally hiding his appearance, and we couldn’t force a customer to remove their cloak.”

Gu Hai listened and nodded,

”That makes sense. He didn’t want to expose his identity, so he used a cloak to hide his face. But, what’s the purpose of buying these ordinary weapons and equipment?”

”Sir Hai, the person with the Black Crystal Card wasn’t buying for himself, but for an old man and a woman, helping them with gene evolution. They seem to be from the nearby slums and were also with a little girl.”

”Oh? I see. Do you know where they live?”

”I don’t know, but it shouldn’t be hard to find. I overheard them talking, and the little girl mentioned they opened an ice cream shop on the slum’s commercial street. Send someone to search and you’ll find them. Is there a problem, Sir Hai?”

Gu Hai paused for a moment and said:

”Come with me to the slums right now, and you must not tell anyone about this.”

”Understood, Sir Hai.”

When Gu Hai and the store owner arrived at the slum’s commercial street, it was a busy time.

The two walked around the commercial street and finally found Bing’er’s Ice Cream Shop.

It was peak business time, and the store was already filled with customers, with five or six people still waiting in line at the entrance.

Gu Hai and the store owner joined the queue.

As they waited, they watched as customers inside sat eating various ice creams and popsicles, and a craving suddenly arose in them.

”This stuff looks really delicious, doesn’t it?”

”Of course, it’s delicious. I come here every night to buy a green bean ice cream, or I can’t sleep.”

A boy of about ten years old ahead of Gu Hai turned and said.

More than half of those eating ice cream here were kids.

It was finally Gu Hai’s turn.

Bing’er stood behind the counter, with a sweet voice, she said:

”Welcome, what would you like to buy?”

Bing’er gestured to a price list on the counter.

Gu Hai casually ordered a red bean popsicle and a vanilla ice cream, and the Genetic Store owner behind him said:

”The same for me.”

Bing’er found the voice familiar, looked up at the store owner behind Gu Hai, and exclaimed in surprise:

”So it’s Uncle Store Owner, what brings you here?”

”Haha, I heard your ice cream has a special taste, so I was passing by and thought I’d try it.”

Caixia was busy cleaning up the cups, plates, and some trash left by customers, and Elder Zhan was in the back workshop preparing the various ice creams ordered by customers.

Every time Bing’er took an order, she would shout out loud:

”One red bean popsicle, one vanilla ice cream.”

Hearing this, Elder Zhan would bring out the prepared items on a tray.

Bing’er hurriedly waved to Caixia:

”Sister Xia, come here quickly.”

(Under Caixia’s strong insistence, with threats and lures, Bing’er now calls her Sister Xia instead of Aunt Caixia. Caixia promised to give Bing’er a pretty dress, and also, if Little Fatty dares to bully her, Sister Xia will come out and beat up those little brats.)

Caixia ran over and, seeing the Genetic Store owner, was momentarily stunned.

”Oh, isn’t this the Store Owner? What brings you here?”

The store owner chuckled and said:

”I was passing by, heard about your unique ice cream, and decided to check it out.”

Caixia quickly arranged a seat for the two and personally brought them the popsicle and ice cream they ordered.

”Take your time, call me if you need anything.”

Gu Hai and the store owner found the ice cream intriguing, scooped a spoonful, tasted it, found it quite good, and quickly finished their cups, spoonful by spoonful.

”Hmm, the taste is indeed unique, never seen anything like it in Dragon City.”

”Indeed, it’s refreshing and delightful, I want another, and you?”

”Sure, I’ll have another too.”

The Genetic Store owner waved to Caixia.

”Hello, how can I help you?”

”Hmm, two more of these ice creams, please.”

”Alright, please wait.”

A moment later, Caixia brought two more ice creams to their table.

”Enjoy.”

As Caixia was about to turn and leave, Gu Hai said:

”By the way, I’d like to meet Yang Xiao, is he here?”

Caixia was taken aback,

”What did you say?”

”I want to meet Yang Xiao, the one who went to the Genetic Store with you today and paid for the genetic potions.”

”You must be mistaken, his name is not Yang Xiao, his surname is Zhan, Zhan Mu.”

This time, it was Gu Hai and the store owner’s turn to be stunned, looking dumbfounded.

”Zhan Mu?”

”Yes, Zhan Mu.”

Gu Hai smiled faintly and said:

”Could you ask your husband Zhan Mu to come out? I’d like to meet him.”
