Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 220: Chapter 220 Liu Yiyi

Gong Yu looked at the girl with a somewhat unnatural expression and subconsciously covered the swelling on his forehead with his hand. However, there were several swellings on his face and forehead that couldn’t be covered entirely.

The girl’s eyes suddenly widened, and upon seeing the swelling on Gong Yu’s face, she was initially shocked but then burst into laughter. She even moved closer to Gong Yu, staring at his face and laughing uncontrollably.

Gong Yu finally got angry, resigned to not covering his face anymore, and lowered his hand, saying in a deep voice:

”Liu Yiyi, have you laughed enough? Is it really that funny?”

As it turned out, the two were acquaintances. Yang Xiao and the others had already guessed as much but weren’t sure about their relationship and thus refrained from asking.

The girl named Liu Yiyi forcibly stopped her laughter, covering her mouth with her hand.

Gong Yu looked very awkward, his face slightly blushing.

Yang Xiao and the others were curious. Gong Yu was a dashing and miraculous youth known as Zhui Feng yesterday, so why does he seem so embarrassed in front of this girl today?

Finally, Liu Yiyi stopped laughing, looked at Gong Yu,

”Yesterday, in the desert grasslands, we found a pack of wolves, all of Enhanced Gene Level, and the Wolf King is probably at Enhanced Gene Advanced. We want to surround and hunt the pack but are short of hands, do you want to go?”

”You don’t have people? You still need me?”

Gong Yu said coldly.

Then Liu Yiyi’s face suddenly changed, and she scoffed:

”Gong Yu, I’m giving you a chance to pull you up, and you reject the face offered? Do you think you’re too good for us? If not, forget it, I can easily find someone else. Many people want to go with us, we don’t even need you.”

After saying this, Liu Yiyi flicked her sleeves, turned around, and walked towards the Flame Horse. With a leap, she jumped onto the horse’s back, and just as she was about to leave, she turned her head back to Gong Yu and said:

”Are you going to mingle at the edge of the desert forever? I don’t see any progress hanging out with these trash. Without high-level monsters, how do you plan to advance in genetic evolution?”

After speaking, she slapped the horse’s back, turning into a blur of red cloud, and floated dozens of meters away.

At this, Yang Xiao was suddenly dumbstruck, thinking, damn, I got hit by an indirect shot?

Huang Wen, Chen Fei, and the others were also furious, being called trash out of nowhere?

Yang Xiao jumped up, shouting loudly:

”Hey, what are you saying? Did you eat shit today? Why do you talk so foully?”

However, by the time Yang Xiao spoke, the red cloud had already drifted dozens of meters away, shrinking to a tiny red dot.

Yang Xiao cursed out of frustration, and Gong Yu quickly tried to calm him down:

”Forget it, don’t stoop to her level; besides, you can’t afford to offend her. If you see Liu Yiyi in the desert area later, just keep a distance from her.”

”Why? Is she that powerful? You seem really afraid of her?”

Yang Xiao looked at Gong Yu.

Gong Yu finished sucking on a piece of Hive he held in his hands and sighed before speaking:

”Before the apocalypse, she and I were classmates at Magic City University; we’ve been studying together since high school.”

”You like her, don’t you?”

Suddenly, Qin Yu interjected.

Girls are sensitive and observant.

Gong Yu’s face showed a slight awkwardness, then he smiled faintly and said:

”I’ve liked her since high school. I went to Magic City University because of her. For Gong Yu, entering Magic City University seemed as easy as reaching into a bag to grab something—if he wanted to go, he would go; if not, he wouldn’t.

Huang Wen, Yang Xiao, and the others, although also from prestigious universities, felt suddenly weak compared to Magic City University in front of Gong Yu.

Gong Yu cut another piece of Hive, placed it near his mouth to suck the honey inside, and then continued:

”Liu Yiyi actually went to Magic City University because of the person she had a crush on. During high school, a male student one level above her was always the man of her dreams. This person was admitted to Magic City University.”

Yang Xiao choked on a mouthful of honey, coughing violently.

Damn, these relationships are complicated. He then glanced inadvertently at Qin Yu across from him and gave a meaningful smile.

Qin Yu felt a tremor in her heart under Yang Xiao’s intense gaze, suddenly recalling her sentimental journey with Xia Luo which was somewhat bizarre, and she glaring back at Yang Xiao fiercely.

Yang Xiao patted Gong Yu on the shoulder and said:

”Bro, take it easy, women are like clothes...”

Yang Xiao abruptly stopped as soon as he uttered these words, his heart started pounding because he saw several glares filled with resentment staring at him.

Normally, this kind of talk would be fine when bragging with male classmates in the dormitory, but saying this in front of a group of girls is simply suicidal.

Huang Wen, Qin Yu, Deng Xiao, Chen Fei, and Dai Yun all glared at Yang Xiao, looking as if they wanted to eat him alive.

Yang Xiao’s expression was as awkward as could be, wishing he could dive headfirst into a beehive.

Gong Yu glanced at Qin Yu and the others, couldn’t help but laugh, and patted Yang Xiao on the shoulder.

”Bro, that was not cool at all, I totally disagree with you!”

Damn it, where’s the loyalty? I was just trying to comfort you and blurted out some nonsense!

Yang Xiao really felt like slapping him.

”You deserve to be stung by bees, and I hope the swellings on your face never go down!”

Yang Xiao cursed viciously.

Gong Yu burst into laughter, then bowed his head to suck some honey.

Yang Xiao made a quick apologetic smile towards Huang Wen and others, then hurriedly bowed his head to suck some honey too.

Of course, Huang Wen and the others weren’t really angry with Yang Xiao, everyone just rolled their eyes at him and let it go.

A 20-meter-diameter Hive was completely emptied of honey by Yang Xiao and Gong Yu.

Huang Wen and the others exclaimed on the side, ”Pigs!”

Gong Yu did not actually split the honey with Yang Xiao equally because he sucked faster; he managed to consume three-quarters, while Yang Xiao got only a quarter.

”Brother Yang, I’m going back to the Genetic Store base to rest, are you coming with me or going back?”

”Let’s go to the Genetic Store too.”

”Okay.”

So, everyone walked slowly together, with three Giant Eagles slowly flying in the sky overhead.

”Gong Yu, I just heard from Liu Yiyi, you won’t be able to break through in genetic evolution unless you get a higher-level Mutated Creature, is that right?”

Gong Yu nodded and said:

”The Mutant Monsters around the edge of this desert are mostly from Primordial Gene Intermediate and Advanced stages, or Enhanced Gene Primary Level creatures. I am now at Enhanced Gene Intermediate Level. Even the Saber-Toothed Tiger I killed yesterday was just an Enhanced Gene Primary Level creature, which is increasingly less helpful for my evolution. Now, I need a creature of Enhanced Gene Intermediate Level or higher, their flesh and blood can accelerate my evolution.”

”Why don’t you team up with them and go deeper into the desert? Wouldn’t that get you the right evolution resources?”

Yang Xiao asked.

Gong Yu gave a wry smile:

”I don’t like rolling with them. Liu Yiyi and that guy are on the same team. They have six people altogether, all at Enhanced Gene Intermediate Stage. The leader, who is Liu Yiyi’s current boyfriend, is probably close to breaking into Enhanced Gene Advanced Level.”

”Do all the people from Magic City have reached the same level of genetic evolution as you?”

Gong Yu smiled:

”What do you think?”

Without waiting for Yang Xiao to respond, he continued:

”Genetic evolution depends on two conditions – resources and innate physique.

Once it reaches a certain point, the decisive influence of innate physique becomes apparent. In Magic City, there are also about 50% who don’t have Beast Souls and are just ordinary Genetic Mutants, working in menial jobs serving others,

Furthermore, some people’s genetic evolution is stuck at Primordial Gene Primary, Intermediate, or Advanced stage, and this group makes up about 40%. Only those with an exceptionally superior innate physique can enter the Enhanced Gene Stage; that portion is less than 10%.”
