Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 160: Chapter 160: Magnanimity

Yang Xiao led a team to hunt Snow Wolves in the suburban forests of Star City for three consecutive days, killing over a hundred Snow Wolves and obtaining more than 70 pieces of Snow Wolf Armor.

Thus, over the course of four days, Yang Xiao and his team acquired over a hundred pieces of Snow Wolf Armor in Star City.

As for wild boars, Yang Xiao decided to give up temporarily and focus all his efforts on hunting Snow Wolves.

Fortunately, the aggressiveness of wild boars is weak. Most of them rummage in the snow for tree roots and withered grass. As long as you do not attack them, they generally do not attack humans.

While hunting Snow Wolves, they occasionally angered a few wild boars, which were also conveniently dealt with by Yang Xiao and his team.

On the fifth day, Yang Xiao organized an elite team of 200 people and returned to the suburban forests of Star City to conduct a sweeping hunt through hundreds of acres of forest, killing dozens of Snow Wolves and a Wolf King with a grey coat.

”Boss, we’ve wiped out the Snow Wolves in this forest, what’s the next step?”

During a midday rest in the forest, Xiao Zhe asked.

”How many Genetic Fragments have we collected these days?”

”About a thousand intact Genetic Disks, equivalent to over ten thousand common Genetic Fragments.”

”Hmm, now we have enough food, but not enough Genetic Fragments for Genetic Evolution. With the Snow Wolves gone, we can’t find the next target to hunt.”

”The day before yesterday, some people went to Xianan University and saw everyone there digging ice blocks in Star River. They caught a lot of big fish, and those fish would burst out a kind of Fish Skin Armor, which has the same cold protection effect as Snow Wolf Armor, reducing 20% of freeze damage.”

”You mean, we also go dig ice blocks in Star River?”

”Not a bad idea. Star River is so big and long; there must be plenty of fish, and moreover, I heard that the fish inside are frozen and have almost no resistance, catching one by one.”

”Yeah, we can give it a try.”

Yang Xiao nodded.

”Everyone, rest for a while, we prepare to head back.”

Zhao Gang was startled, saying:

”Boss, didn’t you say we should travel at night? We came with 200 people today, and with dozens of Snow Wolves, going back now will surely alarm the people of Star City.”

Yang Xiao smiled and said:

”Aren’t you tired of eating potatoes every day? Tonight we’ll have rice.”

”Rice?”

Huang Wen and the others looked at Yang Xiao in surprise.

Yang Xiao said nothing more but instructed everyone to pack up and prepare to return.

The 200-person team marched back to the Wanxing Supermarket. The two lookouts at the entrance of the Genetic Store were shocked to see Yang Xiao returning with so many people. One of them hurried into the Wanxing Supermarket to report to the boss.

”Jun, it’s bad, this is a big deal.....”

The lookout rushed into Jun’s room, where Wang Le and Jun were having tea and playing chess, cursing without lifting their heads:

”What’s with the panic? You can’t stay calm at all.”

”But, Jun, Jun, Brother Jun—”

”Shut up.”

Jun, with a stern voice, commanded, then put down his chess piece, stood up, and walked over to the lookout:

”How many times have I told you, you need to have presence, do you understand presence? It’s the ability to be calm even if a mountain crumbles before you, face unchanging, heart not skipping a beat. As my lackey, if you don’t have that kind of presence, others will only say that I, as the boss, lack presence. It’s my face that you’re losing, understand?”

”Ah? Understood, Brother Jun, just now, outside, outside.....”

”Shut it, what’s there to panic about, why are you so dumb, can’t I even teach you that? Listen to me, take a deep breath,”

Chen Jun personally did a deep breathing exercise.

The subordinate was dying inside but had no choice, so he followed Chen Jun’s lead and did a deep breath.

”Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale... Good, just like that. Try it and see, don’t you feel much calmer inside? And isn’t your heartbeat slower now?”

Chen Jun said with some pride.

The subordinate felt his heart,

”Wow, Chen Jun, that really worked wonders. I feel so much more at peace inside, like I wouldn’t be scared even if a mountain collapsed.”

Chen Jun frowned and said,

”Forget it, don’t talk in classical Chinese. It’s supposed to be ’remain unmoved even if Mount Tai crumbles before you’. Sigh, you guys just don’t read enough. Oh, right, you rushed in just now; was there something you needed to report?”

”Chen Jun, I have to report that Yang Xiao from Kongming Academy brought back a group of one or two hundred people from the forest in the suburbs. They killed quite a few Snow Wolves. They’re at the square right now. Do you want to go and see?”

”Holy shit, why didn’t you fucking tell me about such a big deal earlier?”

Chen Jun lifted his leg and landed a kick, knocking the subordinate to the ground.

The subordinate was in a tough spot, looking up at Chen Jun,

”Chen Jun, didn’t you just tell me not to say anything?”

”You’re fucking talking back to me? I’ll kick you to death!”

Wang Le quickly intervened,

”Chen Jun, deep breaths, deep breaths. Let’s focus on the important matters. ’Remain calm even if Mount Tai crumbles before you’, stay cool!”

At this moment, Chen Jun was internally shocked. Yang Xiao had suddenly appeared with a force of two hundred people and had hunted dozens of Snow Wolves. Chen Jun could easily imagine how terrifying their combat strength must be.

When Snow Wolves first appeared in Star City, out of curiosity, he had personally joined the hunt and realized after entering the battle that the Snow Wolves were extremely powerful—his subordinates stood no chance against them.

”Weren’t you guys saying you hadn’t seen any of Yang Xiao’s people come to Star City to hunt? How come suddenly there are so many of them?”

These past few days, he had also inquired if Yang Xiao had come to hunt, and the first respondents said they hadn’t seen anyone.

The subordinate hurriedly explained,

”Boss, we didn’t know either. We didn’t see them this morning; they must have come earlier than us, and we just didn’t notice.”

”Damn, Yang Xiao pulled off such a big stunt right under my nose? Wang Le, immediately notify the brothers to prepare for battle.”

Wang Le was startled,

”Boss, is that really necessary?”

”You don’t know shit. Yang Xiao has been playing dumb in front of me, and now he’s making a show of force. He must be confident. Hurry up, stop dawdling.”

Chen Jun immediately put on a thick coat to keep out the cold, slung a pair of Golden Longswords over his back, and left the office.

In just a moment, Wang Le led hundreds of fully armed men out of the rooms in the underground mall.

”Ah Qiu, it’s so cold, damn bloody cold. Wang Le, what’s going on? Why the urgency?”

”When Chen Jun calls everyone, there’s naturally something important. Let’s get our spirits up.”

Wang Le looked at the few hundred elite guards in front of him; those who were full of life and bravery just a few months ago had changed completely after months of winter. This was the consequence of hiding all day in a room with floor heating and air conditioning. Now stepping outside, they would shiver from the cold.

The few hundred people barely gathered their spirits, rubbing their hands and stomping their feet.

Chen Jun came out from the room and immediately felt a wave of coldness, shivering, and cursed internally,

”It’s damn cold indeed, this freaking weather!”
