Chapter 207: Chapter 207: Desert (Four Updates)

Yang Xiao is indeed quite troubled now. Currently, his team can mine about 300 pieces of Hard Armor for keeping warm from Star River daily, and it is estimated that it will take a bit over a month to dig out over ten thousand pieces required for everyone.

However, where will everyone find more Genetic Fragments to enhance their Genetic Evolution?

Yang Xiao went again to the Genetic Store to play chess with Gu Bo, with Qin Yu and Deng Xiao standing behind him.

After playing chess with Gu Bo for a while, Yang Xiao sighed.

Gu Bo laughed:

"Why do you keep sighing these days? Young man, isn’t it satisfying to have just become the King of Nanmu City?"

Yang Xiao gave a bitter smile:

"If I weren’t this King of Nanmu City, I wouldn’t have to worry."

"Oh? Why is that? Tell me."

"When the apocalypse first arrived, I picked up a bag of food from the school’s store and hid in the mountains alone, enough food for myself, so my family wasn’t hungry. Later, I joined the women’s dinosaur team led by Huang Wen and others. Apart from feeding myself, I had to find food for them too. Later, I became the head of Kongming Academy, responsible for leading the whole school in overcoming Mutated Creatures and surviving the apocalypse. Then, I allied with Xianan University, conquered Star City, and had to worry about the survival and development of more and more people. Now, great, I have directly become the King of Nanmu City, carrying the responsibility for the lives of over 20,000 people and their future path of Genetic Evolution. Tell me, how can I not be worried?"

Gu Bo touched his beard with his hand and laughed:

"Yang Xiao, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. You are a hero in their eyes."

Yang Xiao gave a bitter smile,

"I’m just reluctantly coping. My abilities are not great enough to solve so many problems. Ah, I’m pushed into a corner with no way out. Being in the Jianghu, you can’t help it. I can’t just watch those who trust me starve or be humiliated and seized by other factions, right?"

"You’re worried now because you can’t find enough Genetic Fragments, right?"

"Uh-huh."

"Well, seeing how troubled you are, let me point you in a direction."

Yang Xiao perked up and said:

"Old man, I knew you had a solution. Tell me, what is it?"

Gu Bo gave a mysterious smile and said:

"Originally, this method would only become accessible after Nanmu City’s overall Genetic Evolution Level reached 15, but you can use this method ahead of time now."

"Old man, don’t beat around the bush, just tell me."

Yang Xiao was getting anxious.

"Kid, being impatient won’t get you hot tofu. Don’t rush, my method is simple. The overall Genetic Evolution Level of Nanmu City is currently at 10. If it reaches 15, a resource base will appear for you guys to choose from your Transmission Array. You will be able to use the Transmission Array to freely go to these resource bases, hunt Mutated Creatures there, and gather Genetic Fragments."

"Ah, is there such a good thing? Why didn’t you mention it earlier?"

"Hehe, it wouldn’t have been useful even if I told you, as the overall Genetic Evolution Level needs to reach 15, but now you are only at 10."

Hearing this, the joy in Yang Xiao’s heart immediately cooled down, and he glared at Gu Bo and said:

"Old man, isn’t this just nonsense? We still can’t go there, can we?"

"Hehe, since I told you, there must be a workaround."

"Really?"

Yang Xiao put on a flattering face,

"Of course, if the level isn’t enough, Crystal Coin will make up for it. Give me 20,000 Crystal Coins, and I can open a resource point for you. You can go and hunt resources yourself."

Damn it, after all this, it turns out he was just drumming up business for himself.

Yang Xiao’s face was full of disdain.

"20,000 Crystal Coins, old man, aren’t you being too greedy? Didn’t you just say it yourself, once our overall Genetic Evolution reaches 15, these resource points will automatically appear at the Transmission Array? And now you are asking me for money? That’s really insincere, and to think I’ve always treated you like my deceased grandfather..."

Gu Bo: "...@#$%, you little brat, are you cursing me to death?"

Yang Xiao chuckled,

"How could I? The person I respect most is my grandpa."

Gu Bo’s beard twitched a few times, and he feigned anger:

"If I were your grandpa, I would have been angered to death by you long ago."

Yang Xiao laughed:

"If you had a grandson like me, wouldn’t it be your good fortune? Come on, tell me, how can I spend less to open a resource point?"

"It can’t be less, you think it’s easy to open a resource point? Your city’s level isn’t enough, and it’s a big risk for me to open a resource point for you."

Yang Xiao thought for a moment and said:

"Alright, twenty thousand then, but let me gather it first."

Yang Xiao returned to his office and called a meeting with Huang Wen, Xiao Zhe, and others. The genetic fragments of the corporation were now managed by Xiao Zhe.

"Xiao Zhe, how many genetic fragments do we still have?"

"Not many, just about twenty thousand. With the genetic fragments we obtained from digging for Ice Fish these days, it’s not even thirty thousand."

Yang Xiao briefly explained the matter of exchanging crystal coins for resource points to everyone, then said:

"I want to use twenty thousand crystal coins to try and open a resource point, to create a new way to collect resources. What do you all think?"

Xiao Zhe, Huang Wen, Zhao Gang, Long Yongjun and others all thought it was feasible.

So, Yang Xiao took 20,000 crystal coins to the Genetic Store.

"Old man, here are twenty thousand genetic fragments, please help me open a resource point."

"Alright."

Gu Bo took the genetic fragments, pointed at the transmission array outside the store with his hand. A beam of light flashed on the transmission array and then disappeared after a moment.

"It’s opened for you now. Only this transmission array can access the new resource point. Before you go, let me nag a bit. First, there are many mutant monsters at the resource point, with levels ranging from low to high. Be careful, first get familiar with the lower-level monsters, then provoke the higher-level ones,

Second, it’s best to go in a group, bring people from each troop type. Some monsters are immune to certain types of attack damage, but are particularly sensitive to others. So, it’s best to bring people from each troop type. Oh, I forgot to tell you, you can only bring up to 8 people at a time."

"Darn it! Why didn’t you say so earlier?"

Yang Xiao blurted out.

Gu Bo chuckled and said:

"You didn’t ask me, did you?"

Yang Xiao originally thought that by opening a new resource point and taking thousands of people to hunt mutant monsters, they could quickly gain a large number of genetic fragments. He didn’t expect that only eight people could enter at a time.

Damn, 20,000 genetic fragments, to exchange for this resource point, with only 8 people, how many monsters do we need to kill to make it worth it?

Since it had come to this, Yang Xiao had no choice but to go and take a look.

"Huang Wen, Zhao Gang, Long Yongjun, Chen Fei, Dai Yun, Feifei, Chen Lu, you all come with me to see the situation first."

This was currently the luxurious lineup of Nanmu City, excluding Xia Luo, Zhou Qiang, Xiao Zhe, and others from the strongest faction.

"Xiao Zhe, take care of everyone, I’ll go have a look and come back."

"Don’t worry, Yang Xiao, you guys be careful."

Yang Xiao and others walked to the transmission array, a colorful halo rose, and Yang Xiao saw a new place name on it: Desert.

Damn it, it’s the desert? Why isn’t it an oasis?

Yang Xiao pressed a button, a flash of light, and everyone disappeared from the transmission array.

Moments later, Yang Xiao and the others felt a flash before their eyes, appearing in a new place. Before they had a chance to look around, they saw dozens of snakes as thick as water buckets and tens of meters long rushing towards them.

Huang Wen and the others turned pale, screaming erupted.
