Super Gene Hunting Ground

Yang Xiao didn’t know what had happened again, looking at the old man’s excited demeanor, he thought to himself, this is bad, has a fake jade token pissed off the owner?

Qin Lu had already been pointing at Yang Xiao,

”It’s his.”

The white-haired old man looked at Yang Xiao and asked eagerly:

”Is this jade token yours?”

”Um? What’s, what’s wrong?”

Yang Xiao was somewhat nervous.

The middle-aged man who ran up from behind saw Yang Xiao’s anxious look and quickly explained:

”Young master, don’t be nervous, don’t be afraid, we just want to understand the situation.”

”Uh,”

Yang Xiao responded somewhat dumbly.

”Where, where did you get this from?”

The old man’s tone was somewhat excited, his voice trembling.

”I, I, got it from an old man at the Genetic Store, he told me to come to the Genetic Store when I needed help, and that this token would suffice,

this, excuse me, is this old man a swindler? I definitely didn’t mean to deceive you all,”

Seeing the old man so worked up, Yang Xiao couldn’t help but take two steps back.

”What’s the man’s name?”

”Gu Bo.”

”What does he look like?”

”A bit fat, a bit short,”

”Is it this one?”

The old man held the jade token in his hand, and a three-dimensional figure immediately sprung from the token, about 20 centimeters tall.

Upon seeing it, wasn’t it the very image of old Gu Bo?

Yang Xiao quickly nodded his head,

”That’s him!”

Upon hearing this, the white-haired old man heaved a sigh of relief, then with a ”thump”, he knelt down before Yang Xiao.

The middle-aged man behind him also immediately followed with a ”thump” and knelt down.

Then there was heard

a series of ”thumps”,

David, Boss Huang, and Qin Lu, all three of them were flat on the ground.

Damn, what’s up with this scene!

Yang Xiao was completely dumbfounded, staring blankly at the kneeling old man and the middle-aged man in front of him, then swept his gaze over the three people - David and the others - who were on the ground.

Am I dreaming, or have I crossed over?

What’s all this about?

I don’t get it!

Then the white-haired old man said loudly:

”I, Gustone, pay respects to the Great Elder!”

As he spoke, he lifted the jade token above his head with both hands.

The middle-aged man named Gu Si also followed, saying:

”I, Gu Si, pay respects to the Great Elder.”

Yang Xiao, ”@#￥%”

Gustone stood up, respectfully saying to Yang Xiao:

”Young master, this jade token is a token of our Great Elder. According to our rules, seeing the token is as good as seeing the person, so I must kneel,

young master, please come upstairs!”

Gustone bowed to Yang Xiao, gesturing an invitation with his hand.

The middle-aged man named Gu Si kept his bowing posture, very humble.

Yang Xiao’s eyeballs were nearly popping out, his heart experiencing shock upon shock, his heart shattered.

Damn, I’ve hit it big, so old Gu Bo is actually the so-called Great Elder of the Genetic Store?

Must be the Great Elder of the headquarters, right?

Did I hear incorrectly?

”My lord, please!”

Gustone made another inviting gesture.

Yang Xiao cleared his throat lightly, attempting to control his excitement, and nodded,

”Lord Gu, after you!”

”Hey, my lord, please don’t call me that. Just call me Little Gu!”

”Thump!”

Just as Boss Huang stood up, hearing these words his legs trembled and he fell back to the ground.

Damn it, Little Gu?

Normally, I’d be dying to call you Grandpa Gu!

Yang Xiao, of course, did not dare to call him Little Gu and instantly replied:

”Lord Gu jests, please lead the way.”

Without lingering on the issue of what to call him, Gustone hurriedly led the way, Yang Xiao walked in the middle, and the middle-aged man Gu Si followed behind, all proceeding to the second floor.

David, Boss Huang, and Qin Lu stared blankly at the staircase, taking quite a while to come to their senses.

”Station Chief Dai, wha-what’s going on?”

Boss Huang asked anxiously.

”How would I know?”

David wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand and then looked at Qin Lu,

”Qin Lu, you’re with Master Yang every day, do you know what’s going on?”

”Uncle Dai, if I knew anything, would I still be sitting on the ground?”

The three of them stood up and walked over to sit on the sofa.

Suddenly, Boss Huang started treating David with much more respect, and his attitude towards Qin Lu was also very friendly.

Boss Huang was none other than the richest tycoon on Purple Origin Star with the most private mines owned by the Great Dragon Empire. His son, Huang Mi, had recently participated in a Go competition and made it into the top three.

”Brother Dai, it’s been a while. Let’s have dinner together tonight, my treat, and Qin Lu can join us too.”

Boss Huang’s manner of address changed; he no longer called him ”Station Chief Dai,” but ”Brother Dai,” to close the distance between them.

The two were familiar with each other, but not to the extent of addressing each other as brothers.

David indeed hadn’t seen Boss Huang for quite some time,

And Boss Huang had never invited David to dinner,

Even if David wanted to invite Boss Huang for a meal, he would not have given him the honor.

As the owner of the most private mines, Boss Huang did have some status and pride.

David smiled slightly and said:

”Boss Huang, your mines are aplenty and you are busy with work. You should go back to your own affairs first, dinner can wait, it’s not urgent, thanks for the kind offer.”

David still hadn’t figured out Yang Xiao’s situation, which currently seemed like a big catch, rather a super-big catch, one that couldn’t let Boss Huang take advantage of and pry away.

It should be noted that Yang Xiao was now an official citizen of Witch Star; David no longer had the authority to control his personal freedom. Thinking carefully, the only way he could now constrain Yang Xiao was through his group of brothers, whose affiliations were still in David’s hands.

Regarding mining, to be honest, a boss like Boss Huang could easily invest billions of Crystal Coins in mines for Yang Xiao and completely kick him out.

For the first time, David felt the crisis of potentially being kicked to the curb by Yang Xiao.

Boss Huang laughed heartily and said:

”Brother Dai, come on, give some face. How much time can a dinner together take? Besides, there are people managing those mines, it’s all the same whether I’m there or not,

Ah, Qin Lu, I just met your father a few days ago. When you have time, come play at my base. My son Huang Mi is about your age; you two can hang out together, you have common interests,

You can also bring your friend Yang Xiao. Young people should get out and about, make friends, right? Haha!”

As a businessman, Boss Huang had a keen sense for the emerging situation with Yang Xiao.

There were three major sectors of the Genetic Store on Purple Origin Star, belonging to the Great Dragon Empire, Youming Empire, and Snow Leopard Empire, respectively.

Gustone, the leader of the Great Dragon Empire sector, controlled hundreds of Genetic Stores, wielding immense power,

In Karachi City, only two people could sit down with Gustone for tea, conversation, and meals - one was Jino City Lord and the other was the chess master Xue Rong.

For a tycoon like Boss Huang who owned more than a dozen mining bases, making his way into Gustone’s good graces was near impossible, and trying to schedule a meeting was almost out of the question.

The look Gustone had given Yang Xiao earlier was something he could never forget for the rest of his life, almost unbelievable.

Moreover, who was the so-called Great Elder mentioned by Gustone? What was his relationship with Yang Xiao?

These thoughts immediately raced through Boss Huang’s mind. Yang Xiao was a big fish - how could he miss out on this?

The excitement within both David and Qin Lu was indescribable, their hearts still thumping wildly.

Sitting on the sofa, they exchanged a smile. If it weren’t for being in such a special place, they’d truly want to jump up and shout,

”Holy shit, I’ve struck it rich!”
