Super Gene Hunting Ground

Ah Bao came running over,

”Yang Xiao, as per your orders, I have led a reconnaissance team over this period to gather information and have discovered that there are currently five mining sites exploring within our Wildman Forest reserve, and all have identified veins.”

”Good, let them continue. It would be best if they can find more veins and establish mines. You keep monitoring but be careful not to alert them.”

”Okay!”

...

Yang Xiao purchased Genetic Potion from the Genetic Store to begin elevating his Genetic Evolution Level.

Gustone was right, to forge iron, one must be strong themselves; if he wants to fight, he must possess formidable strength.

Yang Xiao aims to complete the Evolution from the King Level Primary Stage to the King Level Intermediate Stage, so he could activate his Beast Soul.

He secretly tried many times alone in the wilderness. Each time he activated the Beast Soul, he felt strained and could barely manifest the tail of the Beast Soul, unable to fully transform the body of the Beast Soul.

After purchasing 300 million Crystal Coins, Yang Xiao was shocked to discover that he only increased his Strength from 70 to 80 points.

”Damn, I need another 900 million Crystal Coins to evolve to the King Level Intermediate Stage.”

Gu Lei from the Genetic Store expressed in surprise:

”An average person spends 400 million Crystal Coins to complete the evolution at the King Level Primary Stage, but you require 1.2 billion Crystal Coins, three times the amount of an ordinary person.”

The mining stations are still in the continuous investment phase, and dividends are scant; Yang Xiao bought these 300 million Crystal Coins gritting his teeth.

Qin Lu then smiled, saying:

”Yang Xiao, don’t rush. We people from Witch Star normally need about ten years to evolve smoothly from King Level to Emperor Level,

you now own so many mines, and you’ve already won at the starting line. You just need a little time, and you can run to the front ahead of everyone else.”

Yang Xiao sighed. He had planned to train Zhao Benling, Du Tianxing, and a dozen more brothers to at least the Emperor Level Evolvers, so he could have a core team with the most combat power.

It seems, the road ahead is still long.

...

Over eighty mining shafts at the mining base have been excavated, with nearly a thousand Wildmen working at the base, creating a busy and lively scene.

Now, the daily output of Crystal Stones is ten times more than before.

Whether it was David, Elder Qin, or the Wildman King, all were very happy.

For the first time, Yang Xiao brought David and Elder Qin to Wildman Valley to drink and feast meat with the Wildman King.

Facing this near-Emperor Level Super Monster, David and Elder Qin inwardly showed great respect.

With huge interests at stake, there was no longer any division among people from Witch Star and Wildmen, as common interests became the biggest reconciler.

”Yang Xiao, I heard from Qin Lu that currently about twenty private mines are exploring everywhere within the Primitive Forest, what are your plans?”

Finally, Elder Qin couldn’t hold back any longer. He had wanted to ask this question for a long time, even considering investing in several more mines here. Had it not been for his son Qin Lu dissuading him, he would have come to ask Yang Xiao already.

Business ran deep in Elder Qin’s bones; wherever there was profit, he would rush.

The Wildman King, David, and Elder Qin all looked at Yang Xiao.

They also knew that Yang Xiao was already preparing for some matters, although they did not know the specifics.

Yang Xiao drank a bowl of fruit wine, glanced at the Wildman King, and said:

”Grandfather, how long has it been since you last fought?”

The Wildman King chuckled, downing the fruit wine in his bowl, grabbed a piece of meat, chewed it a few times, swallowed, and said:

”Although I am old, this old bone can always be put to use, tell me, are you thinking of involving me?”

”How could that be? For dealing with these second-rate private mine owners, there’s no need for your esteemed effort,

According to our current statistics, there are already over twenty private mines exploring, and all have found veins; the lucky ones have found up to a dozen veins, even the least lucky have found five veins.

Now, they are all drilling mines. I estimate that in another month, these mine shafts will be completed, and I plan to start a war then.”

”Master Yang, there’s one thing that has been bothering me, I feel like there are fewer wild beasts in the forest recently, not as frequent as before attacking our base and mines, have you noticed that?”

Yang Xiao smiled faintly,

”Really? I feel that way too.”

...

In several ponds of the Primitive Forest, Yang Xiao had Ah Bao periodically dump large amounts of Crystal Stone Powder.

Only Yang Xiao, Ah Bao, and the Wildman King knew about this.

Half of the Crystal Stones allocated to Yang Xiao were thrown into three ponds and two streams inside the Primitive Forest, totaling several thousand kilograms.

Wild animals within a hundred kilometers were slowly attracted to these water sources, which contained water infused with Evolution Energy from the Crystal Stones, fascinating the creatures.

Ah Bao asked Yang Xiao more than once,

”Boss, won’t throwing in so much Crystal Stone Powder potentially create Super Monsters? If so, could that be a threat to us?”

”For now, it shouldn’t be, firstly because the time is short, secondly the amount of Crystal Stone Powder is limited. As for later, it’s hard to say, but we can control the amount of Crystal Stone Powder we introduce. We hold the initiative, so it shouldn’t be a big problem.”

One day, Yang Xiao saw Black Jinkang and Golden Lion King goofing around together and had a sudden idea. He took these two honest guys to a pond nearby, where Ah Bao led his men to kill a King Level advanced Monster for them to eat.

Black Jinkang and Golden Lion King enjoyed the meal immensely.

Yang Xiao asked,

”How do you two find this meat?”

”Delicious, it’s really delicious, and it feels like the energy is slowly greater, much more powerful than the wild animals we catch near the minefield.”

”Boss, can you come catch Monsters for us to eat every day?”

Yang Xiao glanced at them,

”You two are already Monsters, aren’t you? I worry that one day these Monsters will end up eating you.”

Black Jinkang laughed and said:

”No way, we have Big Brother Ah Bao and boss’s protection, how could ordinary Monsters eat us?”

Ah Bao, originally a wildman and enjoys interacting with wild beasts, got along very well with Black Jinkang and had some affection, so Yang Xiao let Ah Bao take Black Jinkang and Golden Lion King to the pond daily to catch Monsters to eat.

After three months, these two honest creatures had consumed countless Monsters, even growing about a meter in height, their Evolution Stage magically advancing to the King Level advanced stage.

This surprised Yang Xiao; it turned out that animals on Earth could also adapt to the Evolution environment of Purple Origin Planet and evolve quickly.

One morning, as usual, Ah Bao took Black Jinkang and Golden Lion King to the pond to deploy Crystal Stone Powder. By the afternoon when they returned, only Golden Lion King came back looking dejected.

Yang Xiao was startled and asked:

”Where is Black Jinkang?”

To Yang Xiao, Black Jinkang and Golden Lion King were more like his pets or sons. Suddenly finding one absent, he immediately worried it might have been eaten by Monsters outside?

Ah Bao immediately chuckled and said:

”No worries, Black Jinkang encountered a group of its kind by the pond today and got friendly with them. It said it wouldn’t come back tonight.”

Yang Xiao: ”@#￥%, its kind? What kind do they have here? That idiot, don’t be fooled and get eaten, why didn’t you bring it back?”

Yang Xiao was a bit anxious.

Beside him, Golden Lion King suddenly said,

”Boss, that dumb gorilla found a female gorilla. It has fallen into the thralls of love, how could it bear to come back?

Sigh, I’ll be alone from now on, so lonely,”

After sighing, Golden Lion King suddenly added,

”That dumb gorilla, better it gets eaten by that female tonight, such a friend-neglecting guy.”

Yang Xiao: ”...”

Yang Xiao looked at Ah Bao, Ah Bao smilingly said,

”Actually, there has always been a type of Monster in our Primitive Forest, their appearance similar to Black Jinkang’s. I think they might be its kind. Today, six black gorillas came to the pond, all at King Level intermediate and advanced Realm. They’re not too dangerous together. After all, Black Jinkang is a wild beast; the Primitive Forest is its world. Perhaps it’s not a bad thing, so I let it mingle for a night and will check on it tomorrow.”
