Chapter 185: Chapter 185: Nanmu City King (Four Updates)

Yang Xiao walked out of the Genetic Store with the Black Crystal Card and saw from a distance two giant eagles eating Snow Wolf Meat on the playground. Huang Wen and Feifei, along with a group of girls, were surrounding the eagles, occasionally touching their feathers.

Huang Wen had taken the giant eagles in her last sortie to look for food in the ice river, inadvertently joining the battle against Xie Jun, where they played a pivotal role. Naturally, these two eagles had become revered totems among everyone.

Huang Wen now flew to the main peak of Biyun Mountain every day to communicate with the two eagles.

The young eagle’s injuries had fully healed.

Yang Xiao brought eight individuals with relatively high Genetic Evolution Levels into the Genetic Store and spent over 100,000 Crystal Coins to complete the genetic evolution for the eight of them.

Now, Kongming Academy had 18 experts at the Primary Stage of the Primordial Gene.

Kongming Academy’s Evolution Level on the Genetic Store’s map had also jumped from 7 to 8.

Xia Luo had completed the Genetic Plan for 10 of his teammates as well, totaling 15 experts at the Primordial Gene Primary Stage, and their Genetic Evolution Level had jumped from 6 to 8.

Just as Yang Xiao was about to lead everyone out of the Genetic Store, Gu Bo pulled him aside.

"Old man, what’s the matter?"

Gu Bo revealed a mysterious smile and said:

"Have you ever thought about becoming the King of Nanmu City?"

"The King of Nanmu City?"

Yang Xiao was taken aback, staring at Gu Bo.

Gu Bo continued:

"Right now, the largest powers in Nanmu City are you and Xie Jun from the city district. The others are not as influential. More than a dozen Genetic Store outposts to the north of Nanmu City are under the control of Xie Jun.

However, the north of Nanmu City is mountainous without rivers. The largest river in Nanmu City is Star River, which is abundant in Ice Fish. It is exactly this advantageous condition that gives you the ability to have your whole team ready for battle.

Up to now, Xie Jun and the others haven’t realized that Ice Fish from Star River can also yield Hard Armor against the cold. They have only set their sights on Snow Wolf Armor."

"Why are you telling me this? Wouldn’t the owner of the Genetic Store where Xie Jun is located disclose the information about the Ice Fish to him?"

Gu Bo chuckled and said:

"That depends on the situation. I don’t chat with everyone; it’s a waste of time."

"Right, I agree. Xie Jun is probably too proud. He might not have as good a relationship with the Genetic Store owner as we do, haha."

"By the way, why did you ask if I want to be the King of Nanmu City? What are the benefits of being the King?"

"Of course, when you were the first one in this area to hunt Mutated Creatures, I rewarded you with a Genetic Potion, remember?"

Yang Xiao scoffed:

"Give it a rest, that one Genetic Potion had no effect on me at all. I even doubt if you were bluffing me."

"That’s because after you activated the Genetic Data System in your body, your Genetic Attribute Value was already pretty high. Naturally, one potion wouldn’t make a difference."

"Is there a reward for becoming the King of Nanmu City?"

"An unconditional upgrade of one Genetic Evolution Level."

Yang Xiao was shocked and asked:

"What does that mean?"

"No matter how many Genetic Potions you’re short of reaching the Primordial Gene Intermediate Stage, our store will satisfy it unconditionally and let you reach a new level of evolution on top of your current one."

"Really?"

Yang Xiao’s eyes glazed over. If he had looked in a mirror at that moment, he would have realized how greedy he also was.

Gu Bo nodded,

"Of course, it’s true. Otherwise, why would Xie Jun be so eager to conquer the surrounding Genetic Store outposts and urgently unify Nanmu City to become the King?"

Gu Bo’s words stirred Yang Xiao’s heart.

At present, it would take over 100,000 Crystal Coins’ worth of resources for him to advance to the Primordial Gene Intermediate Stage. To move to the Advanced Stage would require even more resources.

Now, with snow and ice everywhere, the Snow Wolves were gone, leaving only Ice Fish.

Right, Ice Fish – to fish for Ice Fish and then sell them to the Genetic Store to boost the Genetic Plan.

At this moment, within the city district, Xie Jun was listening to Zhou Hua report the casualty numbers.

warriors had died.

"Yang Xiao gave a Small Blood Pill to each of the more than a hundred injured, allowing them to return on their own."

Xie Jun’s mouth twitched a few times as he sternly said:

"That’s nothing but a trick to buy people’s hearts. Humph, in the post-apocalyptic world, whoever has food, who has resources for Genetic Evolution, is the boss. Kindness, morality, and ethics are just things that can be heard but not eaten; what’s the point?"

Xie Jun was frustrated with the defeat in this war. Not only did they lose two or three hundred people, but they also lost five experts at the Primordial Gene Primary Stage.

"Zhou Hua, tell me, how could two small schools with just over a thousand people possibly kill over a thousand Snow Wolves? Why do they have so many pieces of Snow Wolf Armor?"

"Perhaps, they bought them from the Genetic Store?"

"Bought? At a thousand Crystal Coins each, where would they get so many Crystal Coins to buy them?"

"I... I don’t know."

Just then, someone knocked and entered.

"Brother Jun, I just went to the Genetic Store and found that Xianan University and Kongming Academy’s Genetic Evolution Levels have both risen to 8."

"What?"

Xie Jun leapt up from his armchair.

"Their Genetic Evolution Levels have specifically risen to 8; does this mean they have acquired a large amount of Evolution resources?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Hua said:

"Brother Jun, didn’t we lose 265 people? The Snow Wolf Armor they were wearing is quite valuable. Maybe Yang Xiao and his group took the armors off the dead and sold them to the Genetic Store."

With Zhou Hua’s reminder, Xie Jun gritted his teeth:

"Apart from selling the equipment and weapons on those corpses, where else could they have found a second way to increase their Genetic Evolution speed in such a short time?"

"Brother Jun, what’s our next move?"

Xie Jun frowned and sighed:

"I need to think carefully about this. The biggest problems this time were in three aspects. First, the number of Snow Wolf Armors that the other side had completely exceeded our expectations. We initially thought they had one or two hundred pieces, but did not anticipate that between the two schools, they would have over a thousand,

Second, that kid Yang Xiao’s Soul Skill is too peculiar, too powerful. It rendered our firearm squad unable to exert its expected influence,

Third, what’s the deal with those two Giant Eagles? The Genetic Evolution Level of the eagles seems to be much higher than ours. How did they become Yang Xiao’s allies?"
