Super Gene Hunting Ground

David teleported several times before gently landing behind Yang Xiao. Seeing Li Kan’s severed head on the ground, he sighed and said,

”Master Yang, you shouldn’t have killed him.”

Yang Xiao turned around, looked at David, and responded,

”Just because I’m a slave, my woman can be insulted at will? Even as your Go tutor, they don’t need to show any restraint?”

”Although you were in a life-and-death battle with Li Kan, and you don’t actually need to bear responsibility for killing him, you are applying for a temporary identity card, you know.

Witch Star law stipulates that if a slave kills a Witch Star citizen, they won’t be eligible for a temporary identity card for three years.

Sigh, I know you are angry inside; it’s my fault for not controlling my subordinates well.”

Yang Xiao was stunned and thought, damn, why didn’t you say that earlier?

But since things have already happened, he couldn’t care so much anymore; he clasped his hands and said to David,

”Sorry, I was a bit impulsive!”

”Sigh, you are still too young. Well, let’s leave this matter alone. I will explain to the higher-ups, say you were forced to act and killed him by accident. I’ll try to minimize the negative impact on you.”

”Thank you, Station Chief Dai!”

”Why so formal? Li Kan was asking for it, and frankly, I didn’t like him much either. You go and rest, I’ll send someone to handle this.”

”Alright, sorry for the trouble.”

”Hehe, by the way, have you made a breakthrough to King Level?”

David asked casually, but was full of curiosity.

Last time, after spending eighty million Crystal Coins, it still wasn’t enough to help Yang Xiao break through to King Level Evolution. How did Yang Xiao make the breakthrough within just a little over a month?

Yang Xiao chuckled and said,

”I have a question I wanted to ask you,”

”Oh? What is it?”

”A few days ago, I was buried in a mine, starving and dizzy. For some reason, I found that my Genetic Data System was reset to zero. After a day, it appeared again.

When it reappeared, there was an anomaly in my body’s evolution data; all Four Attributes were zero, but there was a huge amount of Evolution Energy inside, which could be reallocated to the Attribute data.

I gave it a try and found that after reallocating the Evolution Energy this time, I could just raise the Four Attributes to 70 points, which broke through to King Level Evolution.

This surprised me a lot. Station Chief Dai, as a Witch Star native, you know much more about Genetic Evolution than I do. Do you know about this kind of situation?”

David was taken aback and looked at Yang Xiao.

”Really?”

”Why would I lie to you? Last time, you saw the evolution with eighty million Crystal Coins right in front of you; I indeed hadn’t broken through to King Level.

The owner of the Genetic Store even said that I would need at least eighty million to one hundred million Crystal Coins’ worth of resources to complete the King Level Evolution. Where would I find one hundred million Crystal Coins in such a short amount of time?

Here I have two Black Gold Cards given to me by Captain Luo Meng; there are fifty million Crystal Coins inside, and I have never used them. If you don’t believe me, take them and verify.”

Yang Xiao took out two Black Crystal Cards from the Space Ring and handed them to David.

David smiled and said,

”I didn’t doubt you, but the situation you described is very unusual. Of course, in the history of Genetic Evolution, there are not no such peculiar cases.”

”Ah? Really others who are just like me?”

Yang Xiao was about to jump up, damn, making up a random excuse and it actually turns out to be true.

Of course, Yang Xiao’s excuse was not entirely without basis; he often played games, and many games have a feature to modify attributes - reset the original Attribute data and redistribute it, usually related to reselecting the game character’s class.

Naturally, this reselection would only change the distribution of the Attribute data and wouldn’t add data from thin air.

Yang Xiao couldn’t find a better excuse for the time being, so he made up this one, after all, no one could prove he was lying.

David gave Yang Xiao another look and said,

”I’ve seen in ancient texts, situations like yours are considered a type of Mutation. For example, tearing down a large house and using the original materials to build a smaller but taller one.”

”Oh, I see now. I’ve had a gene mutation. No wonder I’ve been feeling like my body isn’t really mine for a while, and the Genetic Data System inside me would often become unstable. Looks like there really was something going on.”

Yang Xiao went along with the pretense.

”Master Yang, you should go back and rest. I’ll stay and arrange for someone to take care of the aftermath.”

”Alright, thank you for your hard work.”

After saying this, Yang Xiao turned to leave.

Shortly after, Yang Xiao arrived at the base square, where most of the people were still standing around.

When Gu Beifeng, Du Tianxing, and others saw Yang Xiao, they immediately surrounded him. Leia also ran over, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at Yang Xiao.

”Yang Xiao, are you alright?”

Yang Xiao smiled, took Leia’s hand, and said:

”Don’t worry, I’m fine. That bastard has already been killed by me!”

Hearing this, Gu Beifeng and the others panicked internally and said in a low voice:

”Yang Xiao, did you really kill someone from the base?”

”Mm, it was a personal life and death duel with him, not involving the interests of the base. You guys don’t need to be nervous. I’ve already discussed it with Station Chief Dai, and he agrees.”

Zhao Benling then said with a sigh:

”Yang Xiao, have you broken through to the King Level Realm? How come we didn’t know about it?”

”Cough, it was just a few days ago in the cave; my body had some issues, probably a gene mutation or something, and I suddenly leveled up. It’s a long story.”

Saying so, Yang Xiao winked at everyone.

Having been around Yang Xiao for a long time, Gu Beifeng and the others knew what he meant implicitly. Du Tianxing deliberately said loudly:

”Yang Xiao, this gene mutation of yours might be unstable. You need to take more rest!”

Yang Xiao nodded and then pointed at Leia, saying:

”This is Leia!”

Everyone had already noticed Leia. After months of mining without seeing a woman, and considering Leia was quite beautiful and sexy, someone immediately called out:

”Is this sister-in-law?”

”Yang Xiao, hiding a beauty in the golden house, eh? When did you find such a gorgeous sister-in-law?”

”Are you going to treat us to a celebration drink?”

...

Leia’s face turned a shade of red, and she lowered her head slightly, though her heart felt incredibly sweet.

”Scram, all of you go back and rest. Return to the mining field for work in three days.”

Yang Xiao said with a mix of laughter and scolding.

Du Tianxing and the others left with a few playful comments.

Luo Meng and others had already run over to help David deal with Li Kan’s aftermath.

Yang Xiao then took Leia back to his own room.

Leia immediately threw herself into Yang Xiao’s arms, hugging him tightly and endearingly.

After a tender moment, Leia asked:

”Yang Xiao, will the station chief blame you for killing Li Kan?”

Yang Xiao said softly:

”Even if he blames me in his heart, he won’t show it for now. After all, he is still counting on me to teach him Go, to help refine his spiritual power. He’s competing in the Go tournament on Resource Star in a month, and without me, he has no hope.”
