Super Gene Hunting Ground

David saw how insistent Yang Xiao was and didn’t want to embarrass him, so he reluctantly agreed:

”Alright, Master Yang, since you’re so adamant about finding the person in charge of the Genetic Store, I’ll accompany you on this trip. But please be prepared and don’t get your hopes up too high.”

Qin Lu by his side then said:

”Brother Yang, there’s really no need to make the trip. Even the Jino City Lord couldn’t handle the situation, I’m sure you won’t be able to either.”

Qin Lu found Yang Xiao a bit odd, why was he so persistent about going to Karachi City to find the Genetic Store?

Didn’t he have any sense of reality?

Yang Xiao smiled faintly,

”I just want to go there in person. We Earth people believe that sincerity can move hearts of stone, what if our sincerity can touch them?”

Qin Lu sighed and did not speak again.

Sincerity?

Sincerity is worth nothing on this planet!

Yet, those words could only be suffocated inside his chest, not fit to be voiced out loud.

Qin Lu and David exchanged a glance and shook their heads.

The three got on the spaceship and flew directly towards Karachi City.

The spaceship was fast, and soon they arrived at Karachi City. After disembarking from the spaceship, they used the Floating Flight Technique and arrived at the Genetic Store’s headquarters in Karachi City.

It was a two-story circular building, not much different from the style of Genetic Stores Yang Xiao had seen on Earth, with two Silver Armor Iron Tower Guards standing at the entrance.

The entrance was quiet, without the hustle and bustle of a busy place.

”Why are there so few people here?”

Yang Xiao asked.

”Oh, this is the Genetic Store’s main branch within the Great Dragon Empire’s territory on Purple Origin Star, primarily responsible for managing the various Genetic Stores underneath it. It doesn’t engage in sales directly. There are three Genetic Stores in Karachi City that deal with external sales.”

David explained.

At the entrance, the Silver Armor Guards stopped the trio.

”What’s up?”

David immediately presented his Identity Card and said:

”We have come to see Gustone.”

The Silver Armor Iron Tower Guard took David’s Identity Card, placed it in his palm, and a three-dimensional stream of information appeared, displaying David’s identity information.

The primary duty of the Silver Armor Guards was to identify the information of visitors. As long as the visitors had valid identification, they would be permitted to enter.

The Silver Armor Guard handed the Jade Token back to David, lowered his hand, and gestured for the three to enter.

Yang Xiao and the others entered the lobby.

The interior was lavishly decorated with a set of sofas and a coffee table, presumably for guests to wait.

When the three walked in, there was already an old man waiting on the sofa.

As soon as the old man saw David, he immediately called out,

”Station Chief Dai!”

David looked over and quickly greeted:

”Oh, it’s Mr. Huang, what a coincidence! What brings you here?”

”What else could I be here for? I’ve invested in a new mine and I’m applying to have a Genetic Store set up there.”

”Were you successful in your application?”

”Not at all, they said they temporarily don’t have spare management personnel to send over, told me to wait for half a year.”

”Half a year? That’s too long.”

”Yes, without the Genetic Store’s orange protective barrier, we’re constantly attacked by monsters and can’t have peace day and night. Besides, I’ve invested two billion, and it was difficult enough to find a few veins; if this drags on, isn’t it a waste of time?

I had no choice but to come and see if I can talk to Gustone and see if he could make an exception.

What are you guys here for?”

Mr. Huang glanced at Yang Xiao and the trio.

”Me and Elder Qin have invested in a new mine as well, and we’re also looking to apply for a Genetic Store.”

”Oh? Congratulations, did you find a vein?”

”It’s alright, barely breaking even.”

David was very low-key.

”Well, you’ll have to wait then. Recently, applications for the Genetic Store have been very tight,

After War God sir conquered the territories of Pegasus Empire, not only did we keep the existing mining bases, but many new ones were also built. Hence, applying for a Genetic Store requires queuing.”

At this moment, a middle-aged man walked down from the second floor and approached Boss Huang.

”Boss Huang, I’ve asked for you, Master Gustone said, indeed there are no available Genetic Stores for the time being. Even if we prioritize yours, it will take at least three months, and that’s considering your influence.”

Upon hearing this, Boss Huang quickly took out a Black Gold Card and stuffed it into the middle-aged man’s hand.

”Thank you, thank you. Three months is still better than half a year, right?”

The middle-aged man accepted the card without hesitation, then glanced at David and the other two.

”What do you want?”

David quickly put on a smile:

”We also want to apply to set up a Genetic Store in the new mining bases.”

”There’s no manpower available at the moment, come back and apply after half a year.”

The tone of the middle-aged man was very cold, and after speaking, he turned to leave.

David immediately took out a Black Gold Card to give to him, but the middle-aged man indifferently said:

”It’s no use, even if you give me more, I can’t help you. The current slots are all reserved by Long Yue,

Boss Huang is an old acquaintance, and has more than a dozen bases, so we consider giving him priority for one store.

Go back, no need to wait.”

After speaking, the middle-aged man turned and sat down behind a desk that looked like a reception counter inside the hall, began to fiddle with a Jade Token, revealing 3D holographic text image information, and started reading.

David stood there looking embarrassed, glancing at Yang Xiao.

”Master Yang, let’s head back.”

Boss Huang said somewhat boastfully:

”Station Chief Dai, no worries. You can apply again after half a year. Oh, just that I have too many bases, it’s exhausting.”

Yang Xiao hesitated for a moment, then walked toward the counter.

Qin Lu wanted to reach out and hold Yang Xiao back, meaning don’t go and embarrass yourself.

David smiled faintly and stopped Qin Lu.

David deliberately let Yang Xiao hit a snag to let him know that things are not easy to handle.

Yang Xiao got to the counter,

”Hello, may I see Master Gustone?”

The middle-aged man glanced at Yang Xiao and said coldly:

”You think you can see Master Gu just because you want to?”

Boss Huang in the room overheard and looked at David,

”Station Chief Dai, who is this person? So bold as to see Master Gu right away? Even I can’t meet him.”

David didn’t speak but watched Yang Xiao’s back.

Yang Xiao took out the Jade Token from his Space Ring. He didn’t know if Elder Gu’s item was of any use, but since they had come this far, he might as well try.

With a ”clang”,

Yang Xiao threw the Jade Token onto the table in front of the middle-aged man and said indifferently:

”Could you take a look at this? Will this do?”

The middle-aged man suddenly became furious, not even bothering to look up, he shouted at Yang Xiao:

”What are you trying to do? Don’t interfere with my work, go away, Master Gu is busy.”

Yang Xiao thought to himself, ”Damn Elder Gu, what kind of useless Jade Token is this, they don’t even spare it a glance, making a complete fool out of myself.”

David quickly ran over to apologize profusely to the middle-aged man:

”Master Gu, I’m so sorry, my friend doesn’t know any better and has offended you.”

Boss Huang also hurriedly chipped in:

”Master Gu, please calm your anger, the young man is just impatient and ignorant, please don’t be angry.”

And then he said to Yang Xiao:

”Oh dear, young man, Master Gu said he doesn’t have the time, why are you still insisting? Don’t you realize where you are?”

This middle-aged man’s surname was also Gu, hence Boss Huang and David both respectfully referred to him as Boss Gu.

Yang Xiao, having tried to show off and failed, felt extremely embarrassed and wished he could find a hole to crawl into; he quickly reached for the Jade Token on the table.

The middle-aged man glared angrily at Yang Xiao’s hand, saw the Jade Token, and then, his entire expression suddenly froze.
