Super Gene Hunting Ground

This series of torment had Xie Lei feeling better off dead. Faced with death, faced with agony, everyone is vulnerable.

Seeing Xie Lei weep so miserably, everyone felt a pang of sympathy, not having expected the normally overbearing and arrogant Xie Lei to show such vulnerability.

Yang Xiao suddenly had a bright idea and said:

”Try taking some Detoxification Pills.”

”Detoxification Pills?”

Everyone was shocked. Could taking Detoxification Pills actually work against the hot peppers?

Yang Xiao went on:

”Xie Lei’s mention of poison earlier made me think. Hot peppers are a kind of fire poison, right? Give it a try; maybe the Detoxification Pills will work. It’s worth a shot as a desperate remedy for a desperate situation!”

”You? You’re the dead horse!”

Xie Lei stood up from the ground, glaring at Yang Xiao.

Seeing Xie Lei’s reaction, Yang Xiao couldn’t help but laugh and said:

”Are you going to try it? What if it works? Anyway, we’re not going to the icy lake to get ice for you.”

Bearing the pain, Xie Lei took out a Detoxification Pill and tossed it into his mouth.

As soon as the Detoxification Pill melted in his mouth and he swallowed it, he felt a significant decrease in the burning sensation in his throat.

So, he put another pill in his mouth, and this time his throat felt much more comfortable.

As the Detoxification Pills dissolved into his body, the fiery sensation from the chili peppers slowly died down, and his whole body felt much more relaxed.

Xie Lei poured out a dozen or so Detoxification Pills and, to everyone’s amazement, gulped them down in one go.

A moment later, Xie Lei took a deep breath, looking at Yang Xiao.

”Ah! You’ve killed me!”

”Man, you’re so unreasonable! I just gave you the idea to cure your affliction, and you’re still blaming me. I’m done talking to you; I’m going to sleep.”

Yang Xiao yawned, turned around and walked away, while the rest of the people also returned to their tents to continue sleeping.

Xie Lei watched Yang Xiao’s retreating figure and could only bury his resentment inside.

The next day, Yang Xiao, Lan Xin, and others formed a team and set out again, their destination the same Desert Forest as yesterday.

Although Xie Lei’s pepper-induced agony was gone, after yesterday’s torment of ice and fire, he now had diarrhea, leaving him pale, weak, and unable to join the hunt. For the time being, he could only rest near the Genetic Store.

Watching Yang Xiao and Lan Xin’s departing figures, Xie Lei bitterly said:

”I hope those two despicable people get eaten by monsters today.”

A junior brother at his side said:

”Big brother, haven’t you always had feelings for Junior Sister Lan Xin? If she gets eaten by a monster, then you’ll never have a chance with her.”

Xie Lei glared at his junior brother and said:

”Am I supposed to wish them well?”

Just then, he felt an urgent need in his belly, clutched his bottom, and scurried toward a distant sand dune. While running and farting, he muttered:

”Ow, it’s killing me, Yang Xiao, remember this, I will have my revenge, oh...”

Today, Yang Xiao and his group were lucky, hunting down more than a dozen monsters at the edge of the forest.

Yang Xiao only took the monsters’ corpses, giving all the weapons, equipment, and Genetic Balls that dropped to Lan Xin and others.

By evening, the various teams had returned to the vicinity of the Genetic Store.

This time, the teams of Ben Yin, Zhang Hai, and Zhi Ruo each brought Yang Xiao the bodies of ten monsters, and Yang Xiao repeatedly thanked them.

Today alone there were more than forty monster corpses, adding to the twenty from yesterday, the count had already surpassed sixty.

Yang Xiao’s Space Ring could only hold thirty at a time.

Although he could fit all the monster corpses into that mysterious black bottle, doing so would raise suspicion from everyone, especially since people like Xie Lei and Zhang Hai were aware of the existence of the Space Ring.

Yang Xiao had also told them that the Space Ring could hold thirty items, and he needed to be additionally cautious of the owner of the Genetic Store.

”In that case, I will first transport some of the monster corpses back to Nanmu City.”

Yang Xiao loaded some of the monster corpses and then returned to Nanmu City using the Transmission Array.

After getting back to Nanmu City, he first consumed the white solution refined from the monster corpses.

Yang Xiao’s Defense attribute was already at 47 points and Wisdom Attribute at 40 points. The white liquid he drank this time wasn’t enough to increase a point in Defense attribute, but it could increase 2 points in Wisdom Attribute.

Yang Xiao decided not to enhance his Wisdom Attribute temporarily, saving it to increase the Defense attribute; he’d wait until his Defense attribute reached 50 points before continuing to raise his Wisdom Attribute.

Yang Xiao then found Xu Nanqiang.

”Prepare me some snacks, like Lao Gan Ma, spicy chicken feet, spicy tofu, chips and such, as well as some liquor, also, are there any feminine hygiene products in the warehouse? Things like tissues, etc.”

Xu Nanqiang laughed:

”We have those, a while back Xia Luo even had loads of spicy dried fish delivered, and tissues are even more plentiful. Apart from the stacks of tissues at all the major shopping centers, we found a warehouse of Heng’an Paper Industry in the industrial area of Nanmu City, filled with tissues. Now that there are so few girls, it might last for years.

Boss, have you gotten yourself into some romantic trouble outside? Be careful if Huang Wen, Qin Yu, and others find out, and don’t blame me for not warning you when things go awry.”

”If the news gets out, I’ll definitely come looking for you. Only you know about this.”

Xu Nanqiang: ”...So, I’m the one to take the fall for your flirtations? That’s unfair.”

”Don’t think I don’t know you’ve got a crush on Chen Lu, if you like her just go boldly pursue her. You are now in charge of the entire logistics of Nanmu City, with great power at your hands. How could it be difficult to chase a girl?”

Xu Nanqiang: ”Boss, I...”

”Quit dawdling, get to it.”

After a short while, Xu Nanqiang came over carrying two large cardboard boxes, one box contained various snacks and two bottles of Wuliangye, a box of Dove chocolate, the other box was filled with a whole case of tissues.

Yang Xiao pointed to the tissues and asked:

”How many packs are in here?”

”Fifty packs in one box, with five packs in each.”

Yang Xiao did some calculation; there were thirteen girls between Shenming Mountain Sect and Emei Sect, meaning each could only get four packs, enough for about two months.

”Go get me ten more boxes.”

Xu Nanqiang exclaimed, surprised:

”Holy crap, boss, how many girls have you picked up outside? Why do you need so many?”

”Cut the chatter, didn’t you just say there was plenty of hygiene products? Heng’an Paper Industry isn’t just one warehouse; they have two large factories in Shanyun City, the stock there is probably even greater.”

The Star Moon Lake Wetland in Shanyun City has tens of thousands of acres dedicated to reed plantations for paper-making, and Heng’an Paper Industry built two paper factories nearby to make use of the raw materials directly.

Xu Nanqiang looked confused but hurried off. This time, he brought three men with him, each carrying three boxes of tissues.

”Boss, I’ve brought you twelve boxes, plus this one that makes thirteen. Let me know if it’s not enough.”

Yang Xiao gave Xu Nanqiang a cold look and said:

”Remember to keep this secret, or else, I’ll have your job.”

Xu Nanqiang immediately covered his mouth with his hand, making a goofy face.

Yang Xiao looked at the sky; it was getting late. Now was the time when the Sand Demon would be out in the desert, so he decided to return early the next morning.
