Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 210: Chapter 210: Equipment from the Desert (Three More, Please Subscribe)

Yang Xiao and Huang Wen, although they managed to escape from the desert in time, still felt their legs trembling at the thought of the giant beast pouncing towards them.

”Ah, what a pity for the meat of those sandworms.”

Yang Xiao sighed and walked into the Genetic Store with Huang Wen.

Zhao Gang, Long Yongjun, Chen Fei and others were looking at Gu Bo appraising weapons and equipment. Surprised to see Yang Xiao and Huang Wen enter, they exclaimed:

”Eh, Boss, weren’t you out in the desert collecting sandworm corpses? How come you’re back so soon? Where’s the body?”

Long Yongjun ran to the door to look around, seemingly seeing nothing.

Yang Xiao wryly said:

”The sandworm’s body was stolen by another monster.”

The crowd was stunned.

”Damn, we just came back. What kind of annoying monster is that, Boss, didn’t you take the chance to slash it?”

”Ah, how could I dare? I almost couldn’t even make it out just now.”

He immediately described the situation with the giant beast, and everyone listened with trembling hearts.

Yang Xiao looked at Gu Bo and said:

”Old man, this resource site is too difficult. Is there a less difficult one? Entering here is almost like sending ourselves to death.”

Gu Bo laughed:

”This resource site is supposed to be accessed only after the entire city’s genetic evolution level reaches 15. By then, with your higher evolution levels and stronger combat power, it wouldn’t be a problem to unite and hunt monsters.

Only you have reached the Primordial Gene Advanced stage. If the rest of you were in the Primordial Gene Intermediate stage, you could also unite and enter the desert to hunt monsters.

I saw that you entered the Primordial Gene Advanced stage, and to help you, I specifically opened it for you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have enabled it early for you. Just treat it as a game, spare some time and run in there for fun.”

Yang Xiao wryly said:

”You’re just trying to make 20,000 Crystal Coins from me, right? A game? That’s literally playing with our lives. Ah, you really remind me of my deceased grandfather.”

Gu Bo glared,

”Are you cursing me, you brat?”

Huang Wen and others burst into laughter.

Yang Xiao quickly said, ”Dare not, dare not.”

Huang Wen asked:

”Is that desert on Earth? Why is there no snow?”

”Of course it’s on Earth. Don’t you have any impression of deserts?”

Everyone was baffled, thinking, when did the deserts used to have so many strange monsters?

Seeming to see everyone’s confusion, Gu Bo said:

”Now the entire Earth’s creatures have mutated and entered a continuous winter. However, the desert areas are a bit special. Although it is also cold there, the dry weather means there is no accumulation of snow, which leads to many mutated creatures flooding into the desert area. Coupled with some original mutated creatures in the desert areas, these creatures devour each other, continuously mutating and evolving, eventually transforming into unpredictable forms of monsters.”

Gu Bo spoke and glanced at a few weapons and armors on the counter, saying:

”Alright, all these items are appraised. Take a look if they are of any use.”

The crowd picked up the weapons on the counter and were greatly surprised.

The weapons provided at least 6 attribute points each, some even had added elemental damage, which were all exceptional weapons for them at this point.

There were also three pieces of armor, different from the usual Hard Armor, possessing a metallic lustre and feeling light when picked up, yet the material seemed extremely tough.

Yang Xiao picked up a piece and felt it.

”Snake Bone Armor, +6 Defense, reflects 3% of damage.”

Reflective Damage is different from Damage Reduction; Damage Reduction lowers the damage inflicted by enemies, whereas Reflective Damage bounces part of the attack damage back to the attacker.

Gu Bo pointed at the Snake Bone Armor and said:

”This Snake Bone Reflective Damage Armor is priced at 1200 Crystal Coins, if you sell it to me, I can offer 1000 Crystal Coins.”

Yang Xiao smiled and said:

”You sure think highly of this deal.”

Long Yongjun chimed in:

”Boss, choose another weapon.”

Yang Xiao currently uses the Snow Wolf Golden Armor combined with the Snow Wolf Ice Sword, which constitutes a set, offering an additional frost damage bonus. However, the Snow Wolf Golden Armor has only 5 defense points, and the Snow Wolf Ice Sword has 5 strength points. The only advantage is the set’s 8% frost damage bonus, which is quite impressive.

Yang Xiao is now at the Primordial Gene Advanced Stage and no longer fears severe cold; even in regular armor, he won’t suffer from frostbite.

Huang Wen and others are only at the Primordial Gene Primary Stage and still need the Snow Wolf Armor’s protection against cold, so no one dares to wear the Snake Bone Reflective Damage Armor yet.

Yang Xiao asked Huang Wen to store the three pieces of Snake Bone Reflective Damage Armor for future use when they might need them, as winter will eventually end.

Yang Xiao checked out other weapons on the counter; some had +7 strength but no damage bonuses. Although the Snake Bone Armor has 3% Reflective Damage, it seems incomparable to the 8% frost damage.

”Forget it, you guys can have these things, I’m fine with using the current Snow Wolf Golden Armor set.”

Upon hearing this, the others didn’t hesitate; they tried out ten longswords, and three of them, offering +7 strength, were taken by Zhao Gang, Dai Yun, and Long Yongjun. The remaining ones, offering +6 strength, were also chosen by everyone.

There were also three soft whips, one of which was taken by Feifei who was very happy, as this whip, offering +6 Agility, was particularly suitable for her as a member of the Plant Soul System.

”Boss, give me the other two soft whips as well, I’ll deliver them to two other sisters from the Plant Soul System.”

”Up to you.”

Yang Xiao asked Huang Wen to keep the remaining three +6 strength longswords for Xia Luo and Zhou Qiang to check when they return if they need them.

”Check out the Skill Scroll now.”

As Yang Xiao spoke, he picked up the Golden Snake Fist Skill and then the Golden Snake Whip Skill.

”Feifei, this Golden Snake Whip Skill should suit you.”

Feifei smiled happily, taking the Golden Snake Whip Skill and studying it carefully; it seemed really suitable for her, as her hair could extend up to thirty meters like a steel whip, which was quite formidable.

”Zhao Gang, don’t you have the Bear Fist as your Soul Skill? See if this Golden Snake Fist Skill fits your use.”

Zhao Gang took it over and laughingly said:

”Having more skills never burdens one, I’ll take it without hesitation.”

Chen Fei naturally had already taken the Ice Heart Method Skill Book.

The collected thirty or so Genetic Spheres, as Yang Xiao guessed, indeed turned out to be quite valuable, each sphere equivalent to 100 ordinary Genetic Fragments.

The thirty or so Genetic Spheres equaled more than 300 bottles of ordinary Genetic Potion.

”Huang Wen, let’s save these for now, and use them all together later when we upgrade our Genetic Evolution.”

Everyone felt it was worth it; they only spent 2 hours in the desert and gained so much, truly valuable. However, they still hold fear for the monsters inside the desert, not daring to enter easily again, especially without Yang Xiao leading the team.

Leaving the Genetic Store, from afar they saw Xia Luo and Zhou Qiang and others returning.
