Super Gene Hunting Ground

The room was silent.

Yang Xiao felt his face burning with shame,

Dang, why have I become trash in others’ eyes? Wasn’t I a genius?

Yang Xiao had always basked in the praises of being a genius, but now, during the entrance test, he was evaluated as having a genetic profile of zero value.

He barely managed to get in through Gu Hai’s recommendation, only to be immediately doubted and deemed trash as soon as he entered school.

Yang Xiao was beginning to doubt his life.

Luckily, Bing’er wasn’t here; otherwise, how could he ever hold his head high in front of her again?

Yelu Caiyun was sitting two rows in front of Yang Xiao. He looked up and clearly saw her blushing face as she lowered her head.

Chen Cangshan sat beside Yelu Caiyun, feeling quite uncomfortable too.

Of course, the most embarrassed person was Director Lu.

The young and vibrant woman in front of them was named Xiao Ling. For the past two years, she’s been managing new students. She was straightforward and direct, never leaving any room for courtesy.

Director Lu found Xiao Ling rather bothersome.

Director Lu smiled awkwardly and said:

”Xiao Ling, look at what you’re saying. Each batch of students has its own characteristics. We focus on future potential rather than current evolution realm levels.

These are promising talents. Give them time and patience; they’ll eventually succeed. Perhaps they’ll even surpass you.”

Xiao Ling chuckled and said:

”Director Lu, you think I don’t have that much insight? I wouldn’t say anything about others, but this Yang Xiao, his genetic test profile is trash. He’s reached a ceiling; what potential does he have? Isn’t this a waste of resources?”

Yang Xiao felt like he had been invisibly slapped a few times and hung his head in shame.

Dang, is there a need to degrade someone like this? Had I known, I wouldn’t have entered this lousy school.

Yang Xiao suddenly began to question himself, wondering if he had really reached the bottleneck of genetic evolution.

Everyone turned to look at Yang Xiao, making him even more mortified.

Yang Xiao had just been putting on airs outside the school gates, driving everyone crazy inside. Now they felt a sense of ease.

Supplementary admission? It’s just another way to get in, right?

If you really have skills, would you need a backdoor?

Gao Lou, sitting next to Yang Xiao, felt as refreshed as eating a watermelon on a hot summer day, turning to look at Yang Xiao beside him, a mischievous smile appearing on his chubby cheeks.

Kid, you were just showing off, but not now, huh?

Director Lu awkwardly coughed twice and quietly said:

”Xiao Ling, come out with me for a moment.”

Reluctantly, Xiao Ling followed Director Lu out into the corridor.

”Director Lu, why can’t this be said inside? They’re just a bunch of eggs, aren’t they?”

Xiao Ling was beautiful and proud.

Director Lu said calmly:

”Xiao Ling, be careful with your words; mind the occasion. That Yang Xiao wasn’t on my original admission list, but he was included later.”

”Oh!”

”Stop showing that weird expression, will you? Yang Xiao has a big background; I didn’t create a backdoor for him. I had no choice but to take him in.”

”What background?”

Xiao Ling was stunned.

Lowering his voice, Director Lu said:

”He was specially recommended by Gu Hai, the head of the Genetic Store’s headquarters in the Great Dragon Empire. Yang Xiao has a letter written by Gu Hai addressed to Dean Star River.

As you know, the Genetic Store rarely recommends people, but when they do, it’s due to significant favors, and we have to accept it. It’s just a freshman spot; what’s there to fuss about?”

Xiao Ling was silent for a moment, perhaps awe-struck by Yang Xiao’s background, given the authority of the Genetic Store was renowned throughout Witch Star.

”Alright then, since that’s the case, what can I say?”

”Xiao Ling, you’re young and impetuous; it’d be good to soften your temper a bit. I’ve handed the student over to you, and I’ll go find Dean to deliver Gu Hai’s letter.”

After speaking, Director Lu turned and left.

Xiao Ling stood in the corridor for dozens of seconds, took a deep breath, and entered the room again.

Standing on the podium, Xiao Ling swept her beautiful eyes over the crowd. Everyone could see that although Xiao Ling was beautiful, the disdainful and haughty look in her eyes was unsettling.

”Alright, let me introduce myself first. My name is Xiao Ling.”

Xiao Ling took up a pen and wrote her name on the blackboard behind her.

”I’m responsible for new students. As you enter Flying Leopard Academy, you will encounter many issues, and you can come to me anytime.

Flying Leopard Academy implements a free cultivation system. Every day, there are instructors at fixed teaching spots to explain various knowledge and teach cultivation techniques and skills related to genetic evolution.

You can choose the classes you want to attend as per your needs, yet learning.

Of course, everything comes at a cost.”

Xiao Ling paused, glanced at the room’s twenty-two people.

”Flying Leopard Academy’s courses are expensive. Basic courses cost one thousand crystal coins per hour, intermediate courses two thousand, high-level courses three thousand.

There’s also teaching in techniques and skills, each costing over ten thousand crystal coins,

You can choose to self-study in the library, each hour costs two hundred crystal coins, which is the cheapest fee in Flying Leopard Academy,

Furthermore, the academy offers training rooms to enhance genetic evolution and genetic modification agents,

You can even order expensive genetic enhancement services at the academy’s genetic research evolution institute, with each treatment costing one billion crystal coins...”

Yang Xiao suddenly realized that this so-called Flying Leopard Academy was practically a bottomless pit, a money guzzler, with nothing offered for free; it was essentially an aristocratic school similar to Xuanming Country on Earth.

Someone timidly raised their hand.

Xiao Ling glanced over and asked:

”What’s your question?”

”Is there anything not charged at the school?”

Xiao Ling laughed.

”Sorry, even the air here requires payment.”

The crowd was stunned, looking at Xiao Ling in confusion.

Having grown accustomed to these confused looks from new students during admission, Xiao Ling didn’t mind and continued her chatter.

”The rooms provided for your accommodation also require fees, but this is relatively cheap: a regular single room costs one thousand crystal coins per month. If you have extra funds, you can apply for suites or even standalone villas,

A one-bedroom suite costs two thousand crystal coins per month, a two-bedroom suite costs three thousand, and stand-alone villas usually start at ten thousand crystal coins per month. You can choose according to your situation.”

Pausing for a moment, Xiao Ling scanned the crowd, then her tone suddenly shifted,

”I’m direct and won’t mince words. Flying Leopard Academy is a bottomless pit. If your genetic evolution space is limited with no further potential, I suggest you don’t waste money here,

You could return home and spend that money living an extravagant life, which would be much better than throwing it away here. That is my advice to you,

Each year, month, and even day, there are people applying to leave because they can’t bear it. It’s not shameful,

What’s shameful is knowing you’ve reached a genetic evolution ceiling and yet continue wasting parents’ hard-earned money merely loitering at the academy. People like this, I, Xiao Ling, disdain and look down upon.”

After she spoke, Xiao Ling glanced at Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao happened to look up and meet Xiao Ling’s gaze, his heart trembled, and he quickly lowered his head.

”Dang, why does Xiao Ling look like she’s bearing bitter grievances and hating evil like enemies? I haven’t spent her money; does she need to look down on me like this?”
