Super Gene Hunting Ground-Chapter 663 - 663: Picking Up Corpses (4 Updates)

Yang Xiao suddenly grabbed Qin Lu and said:
"Brother Qin, there's a Genetic Store in this city."
"Naturally."
"Do they sell Space Rings?"
"Yes."
"Great, lead me there. I want to buy a few Space Rings first."
Qin Lu was taken aback, and together with Yang Xiao, they flew towards the Genetic Store in the city.
"Boss, how much for a Space Ring?"
"It depends on the size of the Space Ring you need. A Level One Space Ring with 30 storage slots costs 500,000 Crystal Coins. A Level Two Space Ring with 40 storage slots costs 1,000,000 Crystal Coins. A Level Three Space Ring with 50 storage slots costs 2,000,000 Crystal Coins. With each level increase, 10 more storage slots are added, but the price doubles."
"Why does the price double just for an additional 10 storage slots?"
Yang Xiao was somewhat puzzled.
Qin Lu, standing beside him, said with a smile:
"It's very difficult to increase each slot in a Space Ring, so the higher the level, the more expensive it becomes."
Yang Xiao thought for a moment and asked,
"What's the highest level you have here?"
"Level Five, 70 storage slots, costing 8,000,000 Crystal Coins. Any higher would need to be custom-ordered, and the price triples."
Yang Xiao thought it over and said:
"Give me one Level Five Space Ring, and thirteen Level One Space Rings."
The boss and Qin Lu were both startled and asked:
"Why do you need so many Level One Space Rings?"
"To give away. I have a bunch of brothers, none of whom have Space Rings, and I plan to give one to each."
Upon hearing this, the boss said cheerfully:
"It would be great if you had a hundred brothers, haha. Alright, since you're buying so many, I'll give you a discount – 99 percent off."
Yang Xiao: "...."
Damn it, I'm buying so much at once and just getting a 99 percent discount? What's the difference from no discount at all?
But then again, when thinking about it, on Earth, a Level One Space Ring would sell for 1,000,000 Crystal Coins, and I'm buying it here for just over 800,000 Crystal Coins after the discount, while it only costs 500,000 Crystal Coins here. It's already a bargain.
You must know that a million Crystal Coins on Earth is much more expensive than here.
He didn't bother haggling with the boss anymore. After making the payment and taking the rings, he immediately wore the Level Five Space Ring with 70 storage slots on his finger.
"The Space Ring has an anti-theft feature, does the young master know about it?"
Yang Xiao nodded.
Each Space Ring has an exclusive setting. Once set, the Space Ring will only recognize the Divine Sense of the first person who set it, and no one else will be able to open it afterward.
Of course, this exclusive setting can also be left unset, so that anyone can use the Space Ring.
This is somewhat similar to the fingerprint lock feature on Earth.
Yang Xiao put on his Level Five Space Ring, now wearing two Space Rings on his fingers.
Qin Lu said:
"If you wore ten Space Rings, you would definitely feel like a suddenly wealthy man."
Yang Xiao laughed heartily and said:
"You're right."
So, he put three more rings on his fingers and waved them in front of Qin Lu, asking:
"How does it feel?"
Qin Lu: "@#￥%"
The two left the Genetic Store and flew towards the outskirts of the city.
At the entrance of the valley, people were bustling. Guards were on lookout, Artifact Refiners were repairing the destroyed Defensive Light Screen Array, and thousands were dealing with various ruins on the ground.
Most of the Monster corpses at the valley entrance had already been moved hundreds of meters away, close to the forest.
Yang Xiao and Qin Lu ran over.
"Brother Yang, you need to hurry. This place isn't safe to linger; soon Monsters will emerge from the forest to fight over these corpses."
Yang Xiao nodded and touched the new Fifth Rank Space Ring he'd bought. Activating his Divine Sense, a beam of light emerged from the Space Ring, and a giant Monster corpse, a hundred meters tall on the ground, slowly levitated and transformed into a ray of light that entered the ring.
A few minutes later, Yang Xiao had filled the newly bought Fifth Rank ring, so he opened a First Rank ring and filled it one by one as well.
Among them were the bodies of ten giant birds, more than a dozen hundred-meter-tall Monsters, and the remaining Monster bodies varied in size, the smallest being over ten meters tall.
Yang Xiao had collected nearly a hundred Monster bodies in total, and the pile of Monster corpses on the ground was almost all packed away by him.
Just as he was continuing to load a dozen more Monster corpses from the ground, there was a roar from the forest, and dozens of Monsters, each over ten meters tall with frightening crocodile-like maws, leaped out.
Qin Lu, pulling Yang Xiao, started to run back.
Yang Xiao turned his head and said,
"Ah, there are still over a dozen left on the ground. Plus, if you kill those emerging from the forest, I'll have a dozen more."
Qin Lu, dragging Yang Xiao as they ran, laughed and said:
"Those are all King Level Monsters or above. You must have a death wish. Besides, you've collected so many Monster corpses already; can you even finish them all?"
"I'm taking them to share with a dozen brothers. Besides, doesn't the Space Ring keep things fresh for 30 days? Shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"Foodie!"
Qin Lu pulled Yang Xiao back into the valley.
When the two returned to the hotel, David and Elder Qin were both there.
"Hey, where did you guys run off to?"
"Ah, we went to check out the entrance of the valley nearby and also stopped by the Genetic Store to buy some stuff."
Yang Xiao quickly replied.
Qin Lu was about to say they went to pick up Monster corpses, but seeing that Yang Xiao didn't mention it, guessing that Yang Xiao was embarrassed, he didn't say so either. Instead, he just gave Yang Xiao a knowing smile, and they shared an unspoken understanding.
David and Elder Qin had both sustained minor injuries in the battle, with traces of fresh blood on their clothes. Qin Lu, noticing this, quickly asked:
"Father, Uncle David, are you hurt?"
Elder Qin waved his hand and said:
"It's nothing."
David then said:
"War God is visiting Purple Origin Star this time for some important matter. Tonight, all of our base chiefs have to attend a meeting at the Jino City Lord's residence. You two shouldn't wander around; the city is a mess after such a big battle and it's not safe."
Yang Xiao and Qin Lu nodded.
After chatting for a while, the four had a meal at the hotel's restaurant.
The restaurant was doing great business at the moment, with all twenty tables fully occupied. Everyone was discussing the legends of War God Prince and the great battle that occurred that day.
Most of the ones dining there were base chiefs, many of whom were acquainted with each other.
"I've heard that War God has brought a special mission to Purple Origin Star this time."
"What mission?"
"I've heard that because of the war, the Great Dragon Empire is facing severe shortages of Purple Origin Crystal Stones, so War God is here to find ways to increase the yield of the crystal stone mines."
"How can we increase output? Unless we expand our territory, seizing other areas."
"You guessed right. Apart from the Snow Leopard Empire and the Youming Empire, the rest are minor national powers, and they are our targets for expansion."
"We're at war with the Snow Leopard Empire, so why don't we directly seize their mining bases?"
"Geez, are you daft? On Purple Origin Star, between our mining area and that of the Snow Leopard Empire is Youming Empire's territory. Are we supposed to cross Youming Empire's land to attack the Snow Leopard Empire's base?"
