Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 151: Chapter 151 Going to Star City

Gu Bo gave a faint smile and said:

”Not expensive? No, not at all. If it were just the +4 Defense, this price would indeed be expensive. But the thing is, it reduces ice damage by 20%, an essential standard for all households and travelers. Moreover, only Snow Wolves drop it. Now that you guys have killed off all the Snow Wolves, where else can you find any Snow Wolf Armor?”

Yang Xiao agreed with Gu Bo’s point but thought to himself, aren’t we broke right now?

”How can I afford a thousand? I should wait until I have the money to buy it. Sigh, you’re such a rip-off.”

”I’m also running a small business here, just earning a bit for living expenses.”

Gu Bo said with a smile.

Yang Xiao was stunned and then burst into hearty laughter, thinking to himself that if he believed Gu Bo, he’d be the fool.

Returning to the cave, dinner was already prepared. The stewed wolf meat today had many added spices, even including star anise powder and cinnamon, smelling incredibly delicious.

Having nearly cleared the Snow Wolf threat nearby and obtained a great deal of wolf meat and Snow Wolf Armor, everyone was in high spirits, and the meal was exceptionally lively.

Zhao Gang mysteriously took out two bottles of white liquor and handed them to Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao looked at them and said,

”Holy shit, Liquor Fiend, where did you get this?”

”Didn’t I go to help Xia Luo and the others transport spices today? I saw a box of white liquor in their spice warehouse, so I conveniently brought it over. How about it, want a sip?”

Yang Xiao was pleased and said,

”Okay, one sip per person.”

He opened the bottle, took a swig, and then passed it to Xiao Zhe next to him.

With only twelve bottles and over a thousand people, there clearly wasn’t enough to go around.

In the end, only a few people got a sip, just for the taste.

Huang Wen sat beside Yang Xiao and also took a sip, her cheeks immediately flushing red.

The cave was warm and lively.

After dinner, Yang Xiao gave the extra set of Snow Wolf Golden Armor and Snow Wolf Ice Sword to Dai Yun. Holding the treasures, Dai Yun was so happy that she teared up, and the usually reserved and subtle her gave Yang Xiao a warm and fervent hug.

”Boss, what’s our next move?”

Xiao Zhe asked.

”Simple, tomorrow I will take Long Yongjun and Chen Fei with me to Star City to see what the situation is like there.”

”Star City?”

Xiao Zhe was puzzled.

”Yeah, three months ago, before the winter hit, Star City tried to absorb both Kongming Academy and Xianan University, wanting to be the boss. They were delayed by a heavy snowfall. I estimate the situation over there must not be good now, with half the people likely frozen to death.”

”Boss, why are you going to Star City?”

”To see if there are any Snow Wolves in Star City now.”

”Snow Wolves?”

”Are you dense? How can we get every brother a piece of Snow Wolf Armor without killing Snow Wolves? Even if it doesn’t snow again, this Ice Age is likely to last another two or three years, and the Snow Wolf Armor is a standard necessity.”

Xiao Zhe nodded and said,

”You’re going to establish the Transmission Array between Star City and us, then reuse the old trick of utilizing the Transmission Array to hunt Snow Wolves? Brilliant, boss!”

Xiao Zhe was brown-nosing, and now he didn’t feel embarrassed to bootlick Yang Xiao at all.

Huang Wen, Qin Yu, Chen Fei, and others who heard this couldn’t help but cover their mouths and snicker.

Yang Xiao said with a smile:

”You’re smart, but with our current strength, we don’t need to ambush Snow Wolves anymore. Just send out a hundred people, and we can handle a direct confrontation with dozens of Snow Wolves.”

”What about the Snow Wolves in the nearby mountains?”

Huang Wen suddenly asked.

”Mm, that’s exactly what I wanted to discuss. Starting tomorrow, Xiao Zhe, Zhao Gang, Huang Wen, and Dai Yun, you will organize a team of a hundred to go up the mountain to hunt down the remaining Snow Wolves, including a Wolf King. We’ve agreed, whoever kills the Wolf King gets the loot that drops.”

Xiao Zhe, Zhao Gang, Huang Wen were all at the Primary Level of the original elite with Soul Skills, and Dai Yun had recently acquired the Snow Wolf Golden Armor and the Snow Wolf Ice Sword. The four of them leading the team against the remaining forty or so Snow Wolves should not be a problem.

”Boss, you’re only taking Chen Fei and Long Yongjun with you, isn’t that too few? Should I come with you?”

Huang Wen was worried.

Yang Xiao responded:

”Don’t worry, I’m not going there to fight, having just the two of them is enough.”

Beside him, Qin Yu said:

”Should I go with you? I have a Bird Beast Soul and can fly, which could be crucial for sending messages back in key moments.”

Deng Xiao also immediately said:

”And me, boss, let’s team up like before, right? I’ve been bored out of my mind lately.”

Yang Xiao glanced at Chen Fei and Long Yongjun, who also said:

”Boss, just take the two of them with you.”

Their Genetic Evolution Level wasn’t that high; if they didn’t undergo trials outside with Yang Xiao, it would be difficult for them to encounter opportunities for leapfrog evolution.

Yang Xiao nodded,

”Alright! First, get two pieces of Snow Wolf Armor from logistics for you to wear. Get ready, and we’ll leave first thing tomorrow morning.”

”Boss, I have a question. Why don’t we go to the city district? The district is closer to us. Now, whether we cross the bridge or go directly over the frozen river, we should be able to get there.”

Zhao Gang said.

Yang Xiao hesitated, then said:

”Today I checked the Genetic Store’s map. The development of Star City has also stopped in the past few months, and it’s at the same level as us – level 6. However, the Evolution Level in the city district seems to be still progressing and has reached level 9. This means during the three-month winter, they’ve been constantly evolving.

Think about it, why haven’t the people in the city district come to find us?”

Zhao Gang and the others were stunned, looking at Yang Xiao.

”Boss, what are you worried about?”

”I can’t quite put my finger on it, but I always feel that the city district across the river from us is mysterious, like a constantly expanding Monster, filled with danger. It’s best for them not to provoke us for the time being. There’s no need for us to actively court trouble from them. With the time we have now, we should focus on speeding up our Genetic Evolution. First, we need to make sure everyone is equipped with Snow Wolf Armor so that we may possibly hunt Mutated Creatures in the wilderness. Winter isn’t just about Snow Wolves, it’s definitely not that simple.”

Everyone nodded, agreeing with Yang Xiao’s deduction.

The next day, Yang Xiao went to the Genetic Store first and had Gu Bo activate the Transmission Array between Star City and Kongming Academy, limiting the use to no more than 10 people per transmission and no more than two times within an hour.

Since the Transmission Array must be activated by both sides to function, Yang Xiao couldn’t use it to travel to Star City just yet.

”Let’s head to Xianan University first, Xianan University has a Transmission Array to Star City.”

The five of them used the Transmission Array to arrive at Xianan University, then directly utilized Xianan University’s Transmission Array, selected Star City, and with a flash of light, they arrived in Star City.

At that moment, many people on the field of Xianan University saw the Array emitting light. By the time they looked over and noticed Yang Xiao, he had already disappeared.

For those familiar with Yang Xiao, his sudden departure was nothing new, and they didn’t bother speculating about his intentions.

Yang Xiao and the others arrived in Star City and looked around from inside the Array. The place was also covered with snow and ice. In the distance, there was another Genetic Store, with only two or three people standing at the entrance, stamping their feet as if they were quite cold.

Yang Xiao noticed that both the Transmission Array and the Genetic Store were situated in the Star City District’s Wanxing Mall, which astonishingly remained intact. And because it was close to the Genetic Store, the entire Wanxing Mall was enveloped in the protection of an orange glow.

Even the Transmission Array was under the protection of the orange light.

”No wonder Star City’s Genetic Evolution Level is advancing so quickly. They’ve got superior conditions here – a whole Wanxing Mall, complete with everything one could need for clothing, food, shelter, and transport. Even if the outside world were destroyed, this place alone could survive half a year without any issues.”

”Everyone, stay put inside the Transmission Array. Qin Yu and Deng Xiao, both of you fly up and briefly scout out the surroundings.”

”Understood.”

The two activated their Beast Souls and flew into the air.

The appearance of Yang Xiao and his party had already alerted the nearby people. One person standing at the entrance of the Genetic Store took a few steps forward and shouted from a distance towards Yang Xiao and the group:

”Hey, who are you? Where are you from? What are you doing?”
