Super Gene Hunting Ground

After dinner, Yang Xiao and Gustone took their leave.

”Master Yang, I’ve opened an entertainment city in Karachi City, and I’d be honored if you could grace us with your presence there.”

Mr. Huang invited warmly.

This was the first time he had the opportunity to dine with Gustone, and he felt very honored. Of course, he knew that this was all thanks to Yang Xiao’s face.

Throughout the dinner, Gustone showed great respect towards Yang Xiao, a fact that Mr. Huang, David, and Qin Lu all noticed.

When Yang Xiao casually mentioned that Mr. Huang was also his friend and took good care of him, Gustone moved up the opening of the Genetic Store that Mr. Huang had applied for by two months, saying that in one month, they could send a team to establish the Genetic Store.

Mr. Huang was extremely grateful.

”Mr. Huang, thank you very much, I still have things to do here, I will visit your entertainment city another day.”

Mr. Huang looked at David,

”Brother Dai, won’t you honor us with your presence?”

David smiled and said to Yang Xiao:

”Master Yang, since Mr. Huang has invited us so warmly, let’s go there for a seat and have a cup of tea. It’s already dark anyway, and flying back at night isn’t safe.”

When David spoke, Yang Xiao had to give face and nodded his head.

Karachi City offered various entertainment services, catering specifically to miners and tycoons for their recreation, with varying levels of extravagance.

Following Mr. Huang into the entertainment city, Yang Xiao and the others only drank a few cups of tea, chatted briefly, and left after half an hour.

Mr. Huang suggested everyone stay overnight and offered to arrange a beauty for each person, but Yang Xiao declined.

Mr. Huang didn’t press further, bid farewell to Yang Xiao and the others, invited them to visit again, and mentioned if they needed any help, they could ask him without hesitation.

”If you need funds for the mines, I can lend you 1 billion Gold Coins without interest.”

”No need for now, but if we do in the future, we’ll ask for Mr. Huang’s help, thank you.”

”Remember, don’t be polite with me, or it’s like you’re treating me like an outsider!”

...

David suggested staying at the Sunset Canyon Inn they visited last time. The three walked down the streets, chatting casually.

”Yang Xiao, this Mr. Huang is the biggest private mining tycoon in Karachi City, with over a dozen mining bases,” David introduced.

”Mr. Huang is not a bad guy, but as a businessman, he’s always profit-oriented. If you run into trouble in the future and seek his help, just be a bit cautious.”

”Thanks for the reminder, Station Chief Dai. I don’t think we need Mr. Huang’s help for now. Don’t worry, the stocks of our former mines won’t change. You’ve been kind to me, without you, I would still be nothing but a miner slave. I’m not someone who forgets favors.”

Yang Xiao’s words naturally reassured David that he would not discard him because he got to know Mr. Huang and gained Gustone’s help.

David, pleased, laughed heartily:

”Master Yang, I felt a strong affinity with you when I first met you, haha!”

Back at the inn, with the door shut, Qin Lu and David gathered around Yang Xiao to inquire about the Jade Token.

”Brother Yang, you actually know the Great Elder of the Genetic Store? Why didn’t you tell us sooner?”

”Master Yang, if you had told me earlier, I wouldn’t have had to go several times just to face others’ disdain.”

Yang Xiao laughed and said:

”Actually, I wasn’t sure myself. I really didn’t know that he was the Great Elder of the Genetic Store. When he was on Earth, he was just the owner of a Genetic Store on my territory, quite inconspicuous. We were just quite familiar with each other. When I left Earth, he specially gave me this Jade Token. I didn’t think much of it; who knew it would turn out like this. By the way, what’s the rank of the Great Elder of the Genetic Store?”

David pondered for a moment, then said:

”The Genetic Store is very mysterious, and we know little about its upper organizational structure. We’ve heard that the Genetic Store has ten Elders, all senior members of the Gu family’s Elder Council, leading the vast Genetic Store. The most powerful among them would naturally be the Great Elder. But why would their Great Elder go to Earth?”

...

At Genetic Store Headquarters, Gustone toyed with the Jade Token and fell into contemplation.

”Master, are you sure this is the Jade Token of the Great Elder?”

”There’s one such token for each of the ten Elders, infused with a special fantasy Secret Technique, impossible for the outside world to replicate. The token is treated as the individual themselves. It’s fortunate you detained Master Yang afterward; otherwise, if the Great Elder learned you had turned away Yang Xiao holding his token, no one could save you.”

Gu Si broke out in cold sweat and quickly bowed his head:

”Master, I know I was wrong.”

”Sigh, I’ve already reminded you not to be so mercenary. Although others are seeking us out, you should also be mindful of your own attitude. You almost caused a disaster this time, didn’t you?”

”Yes, I will remember the Master’s teachings and make sure to correct my ways.”

Gustone waved his hand and sighed:

”The Great Elder has been missing for two years now; nobody knows where he went. At that time, he left a letter for the other nine Elders, saying he had matters to attend to away from Witch Star for a while. Originally, we thought he would return in a few months, no one expected that he would be gone for two years without a trace. Now finally, we have some information about the Great Elder.”

”Master, why would the Great Elder go to Earth?”

”That’s not for you or me to concern ourselves with. Go rest now. Remember, arrange for personnel to go to Yang Xiao’s mine tomorrow to set up the Genetic Store. This is the specific location of Yang Xiao’s mine.”

Gustone handed Gu Si a piece of paper with an address written on it.

”Okay, I’ll arrange it immediately.”

Gu Si took the piece of paper and went downstairs.

Gustone closed the room door, waved his hand, and a circular Defense Light Screen isolated him and the surrounding space.

Gustone took the Jade Token, slowly infused it with a stream of energy, and moments later, an image of Gu Bo appeared in the void.

”I entrust this Jade Token to a young friend called Yang Xiao on Earth. I’m not sure whether he will go directly to Witch Star or somewhere else. Regardless of which member of the Genetic Store you are, once you receive this token, quickly deliver it to the Elder Council at the headquarters. Additionally, within your capability, ensure Yang Xiao’s safety and offer him any necessary assistance.”

Gustone, as a mid-level staff member, only knew how to activate the first stage of this Jade Token. There are still deeper secrets hidden within it, and only the ten Elders of the Elder Council know how to unlock it.

Hesitating for a moment, Gustone went downstairs to find Gu Si.

”Little Si, help me check when the Great Dragon Empire Spaceship is coming.”

Gu Si ran to a room on the first floor, operated a device resembling a computer for a while, then came back and said:

”Master, the upcoming Spaceship to and from Witch Star will arrive at Karachi City in three days.”

”Good, arrange for me to board this Spaceship back to Witch Star for report in three days.”

”Alright.”
