Super Gene Hunting Ground

He Hui led Yang Xiao and others into the nearby Zhongyun Building, leading dozens of senior officials and the leaders of neighboring cities to meet Yang Xiao again, acknowledging Yang Xiao’s leadership, and then went to the Genetic Store downstairs, confirming Yang Xiao’s new status as the Eastern Province King with the store owner.

The owner of the Genetic Store, a middle-aged man, looked at Yang Xiao and said:

”I had heard long ago that Gu Bo had an outstanding person, but I never expected we would have the chance to meet. Young Master Yang, with your High-Level Enhanced Gene Realm, you defeated the King Level Evolver Li Jiachen, and led your army to seize the entire Eastern Province overnight. Truly a prodigy!”

Yang Xiao laughed heartily and said:

”It’s all good luck, and I also owe thanks to Senior Gu Bo for his care. I’m new here, and I hope for your continued support in the future.”

The owner of the Genetic Store smiled and said:

”Of course!”

Accompanied by He Hui and others, Yang Xiao went again to the Sports Square in front, where He Hui announced that Yang Xiao had now been recognized as the Eastern Province King by the Genetic Store.

Thus, the original thirty thousand guards of the Eastern Province and the more than ten thousand people brought by Yang Xiao all knelt down together and shouted in unison:

”Greetings to Eastern Province King, Yang Xiao!”

...

Yang Xiao and others returned again to the conference room of the nearby Zhongyun Building.

”Gentlemen, the responsible persons of each city in Eastern Province remain unchanged, everyone takes their teams back to their cities, keep doing what you were doing before, everything as usual.”

After Yang Xiao spoke these words, the leaders from the surrounding cities finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as everything was as usual, it didn’t matter who was in charge.

”Of course, now that I am the King of Eastern Province, there are some new rules to announce. My rules are simple, and they apply uniformly wherever I govern. There are three major rules: murder, robbery of property, and dishonoring women. Whoever does these things, will be executed without exception!”

A moment of silence fell over the conference room, followed by applause.

”Additionally, I know that the tax you were paying before in Genetic Fragments was quite heavy, over 60% I presume?”

He Hui hastily said:

”When Li Jiachen was in charge, he demanded that 70% of the Genetic Fragments obtained from hunting be turned over to him, which is why he was able to break through to King Level in such a short period.”

”Hmm, from now on, I declare that only 30% of the Genetic Fragments from hunting need to be turned over.”

”Ah? 30%?”

He Hui and others could hardly believe their own ears. Yang Xiao was only asking for 30%, meaning they could keep 70% for themselves.

Yang Xiao smiled faintly and said:

”The resources of Eastern Province are already scarce. If I made you turn over 70%, how would your people evolve? Through this battle, I also discovered a problem. Originally, only the top leaders in some cities of Eastern Province had high Evolution Levels. The middle and lower tiers generally had low Evolution Levels. It’s fair to say, if the original forces of Eastern Province fought with the forces I brought from Kongming City, the ratio would be three to one, with three people from East City only equal to one from Kongming City.”

This was something Yang Xiao did not exaggerate, and those present like He Hui were very aware of this.

This was also why Yang Xiao dared to come attack Tianyue City with just over ten thousand people.

Li Jiachen had desperately scraped up Evolution resources from below, and naturally, the city leaders did the same, resulting in very little Evolution resources reaching the average guards, thus their development was slow.

He Hui said excitedly:

”Having Brother Yang lead us in East City is truly our fortune!”

Therefore, the whole conference room burst into enthusiastic applause, which lasted for a long while, and many city leaders even had tearful eyes.

The hardships of the lower-ranking guards were rarely cared for by those above, they did not expect Yang Xiao to be so magnanimous, and were somewhat moved.

Someone stood up on the spot and declared:

”Brother Yang, from now on, we will follow you. If anyone dares oppose you in the future, I’ll be the first to fight them.”

”Right, from now on, we will follow Brother Yang wholeheartedly.”

...

These people had originally thought that Yang Xiao would be like Li Jiachen, desperately scraping Evolution resources after conquering Eastern Province, but they did not expect Yang Xiao to greatly alleviate their burden. This meant that more resources would be available for them in the future.

Yang Xiao nodded his head, approving of their stance. If he could not gain their heartfelt support, his position would be uncomfortable.

”Of course, now that I’ve alleviated your burden, you must also use most of the resources for the middle and lower guards when you return, to speed up everyone’s Evolution,

Additionally, each city should establish a policy, setting aside part of the resources for those with better talents to prioritize cultivating a group of backbone personnel.”

He Hui and others said excitedly:

”Brother Yang, you should have come earlier!”

”Haha...”

Laughter erupted in the venue.

Yang Xiao then pointed to Gong Yu next to him, saying:

”Gong Yu is my good brother, proficient in Ancient Martial Cultivation, when I am not in Eastern Province, he will act in my stead and exercise the governance rights of the Eastern Province. Everyone present must support him, otherwise, don’t blame me for not caring about brotherly affection.”

He Hui and others immediately expressed their support for Gong Yu’s leadership.

They chatted for a while about various handover issues, and finally, He Hui cautiously said:

”Brother Yang, since Li Jiachen’s death, Green Dragon City has been eyeing us like a tiger watching its prey, stationing ten thousand elite guards in the border area, what do you think?”

Yang Xiao chuckled and said:

”It’s no trouble; I’ll write a letter, you send someone to deliver it to the hands of the border officials of Green Dragon City, or directly to the Green Dragon City King.”

He Hui was stunned,

”Is that going to work?”

”Hehe, of course, you’ll know in a few days. Bring me paper and a pen.”

One of the guards immediately brought paper and pen, Yang Xiao wrote a few words, showed it to He Hui and Gong Yu, Gong Yu smiled, He Hui was utterly confused.

Yang Xiao had put the paper into an envelope, writing on top:

”To Brother Chi Lin, personally”

Yang Xiao used to live across the room from two City Kings from Green Dragon City and Tianguang City during his training in Magic City; one was named Chi Lin and the other was named Dai Liang, who once teased a beautiful woman number 25, leading to Yang Xiao driving them away.

Half a year had passed in a flash, Chi Lin had become the City King of Green Dragon City, and Dai Liang his deputy, they and the City King across the strait in Qianliu Island had formed a powerful alliance.

He Hui cautiously asked:

”Brother Yang, do you know the City King of Green Dragon City?”

Yang Xiao laughed and said:

”Back in Magic City during training, we lived together, chased girls together, had meals and drank together, so yeah, I know him.”

”But will he withdraw his troops?”

Gong Yu, on the other hand, smiled and said:

”Brother He, don’t worry, send the letter and you’ll find out.”
