Chapter 336: Chapter 336: No Matter How Poor, Do Not Skimp on Education (Three More Updates)
The evening welcomed a banquet, and Zhou Qiang came over from Shanyun City, while Long Yongjun rushed over from Star Moon Town.
Zhou Qiang brought some pre-apocalyptic food from Shanyun City, which has always been a land of fish and rice, known for its lake delicacies processed in many factories such as spicy fish and fish chunks.
After the apocalypse, they found a dozen factories and retrieved hundreds of boxes of spicy fish and fish chunks from their warehouses.
This time, Zhou Qiang brought twenty boxes of various types of spicy fish here along with several boxes of white liquor.
Long Yongjun brought two tanks of rice wine, as well as assortment of fish, shrimp, crabs, and eels dug up from Star Moon Lake.
Xu Nanqiang, in charge of logistics, prepared ten banquet tables. More than a hundred strong individuals from both Nanmu City and Shanyun City’s primordial gene Intermediate level and above attended.
Now, Nanmu City and Shanyun City are robust and strong, becoming the most powerful force in Kongming City, incomparable to the surrounding cities.
Everyone enjoyed the food a lot, the atmosphere lively and harmonious.
Gong Yu and siblings Yang Kai felt a completely different vibe here compared to Magic City. Magic City is populous, nominally united under Du Tianxing, but divided into several power factions and separated into ordinary people and superior genetically evolved individuals, with significant differences in status, leading to relatively indifferent relationships.
However, in Nanmu City, what Yang Xiao has always implemented is fairness, justice, and equality. The gaps between people are relatively smaller, and personal relationships are not so indifferent.
When attendees learned that Gong Yu is an Intermediate level enhancer, they all respected him. With Yang Xiao continuously introducing Gong Yu as his good brother, Gong Yu received a warm welcome, and there were even several beauties who flirted with him, making him feel pleasantly overwhelmed.
The Yang siblings also received everyone’s care, with Yang Xiao, Huang Wen, and Zhao Gang taking them as younger siblings; no one dared to disrespect them.
Yang Kai and Yang Ying felt the warmth of the large family, touched and happy.
After the dinner party, Xia Luo and Zhou Qiang headed back with the people from Shanyun City, and Long Yongjun also returned to Star Moon Town with his group. Everyone dispersed.
The next day, Yang Xiao came to the Genetic Store.
"Old Gu, hello."
"Ah, the little guy is back. How was the training in Magic City?"
"Not bad. By the way, do you sell Genetic Transformation Potions here now?"
"Yes, they arrived two days ago, one thousand Crystal Coins a bottle."
"Is there a limit on how many one can buy?"
"If you need a large amount, it’s best to mention it in advance."
"Okay, old Gu, I want to ask you something."
"What is it?"
"This time in Magic City, I learned the Genetic Transformation Technique. After completing the training, Master Long advised us to cultivate on our own. I wanted to ask if I can lead my subordinates in cultivating the Genetic Transformation Technique?"
Gu Bo smiled slightly and said:
"As long as no one forbids you, then you can do it."
"Okay, I want to know, do you sell the golden necklace used in conjunction with the cultivation?"
"Yes, are you talking about this?"
Gu Bo gestured, and a box flew from the shelf behind him into his hands, which he handed to Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao opened it and saw ten golden necklaces inside.
Gu Bo explained:
"This necklace is crafted by an Alchemist and possesses a Secret Technique, capable of suppressing the Genetic Data System of a Genetic Evolver, making it impossible for one to utilize their attributes."
"How many Crystal Coins for one?"
Gu Bo held up a finger.
Yang Xiao said:
"1 thousand?"
Gu Bo shook his head.
Yang Xiao’s face immediately darkened, "10 thousand Crystal Coins?"
Gu Bo nodded.
"That’s really steep. This training class is just for making money, right? A Genetic Transformation Potion costs 1,000 Crystal Coins each, two per day, if I have ten people practicing the Genetic Transformation Technique, that’s 20,000 Crystal Coins a day, and if it’s a hundred people, that’s 200,000 Crystal Coins, this is no small sum, and it’s a daily expenditure."
"Isn’t it common for people from Xuanming Country to cry out that one should never skimp on education? This Genetic Transformation Technique is akin to an educational endeavor!"
Gu Bo laughed.
Yang Xiao was stunned, damn, you know quite a bit about Earth’s knowledge?
Yang Xiao once again gathered Huang Wen, Xiao Zhe, and Xia Luo, and shared the idea of popularizing the Genetic Transformation Technique. Upon hearing that it could enhance the space for genetic evolution, all were excited.
"However, it’s quite expensive. Apart from the initial expense of buying a gold necklace for 10,000 Crystal Coins, each person needs to spend 2,000 Crystal Coins daily. My idea is to simply let a hundred experts cultivate this Genetic Transformation Technique simultaneously, as this thing is extremely helpful for everyone’s future genetic evolution. Otherwise, once you hit a bottleneck, you won’t be able to break through."
Xia Luo said:
"No problem, a hundred people, 200,000 Crystal Coins a day. Nanmu City and Shanyun City can pay 100,000 Crystal Coins each, we can barely afford it."
"But what about the future? This cultivation isn’t something that can be completed in a day. The boss said it takes at least about half a year. My suggestion is to select fifty people to undergo the training, this way we can cut the expenditures in half, and even bear the costs for half a year," Xiao Zhe said.
Huang Wen also agreed with Xiao Zhe’s proposal.
Yang Xiao thought about it and felt it made sense.
Finally, everyone decided to select 50 people with relatively high comprehensive genetic data to undergo the training. Out of these 50, eight people would be rotated daily to undergo a training session in the desert, managing both tasks simultaneously.
Thus, Yang Xiao started to teach everyone the Genetic Transformation Technique learned at Magic City, including the methods of climbing stairs and doing push-ups.
Yang Xiao was currently in the Century Commercial Building which had eighteen floors. Yang Xiao required everyone to climb back and forth five times, roughly equivalent to 90 floors, almost the same as the 88 floors of the Financial Building in Magic City.
At first, everyone was continuously complaining, as their evolution level of genes was far inferior compared to Gu Beifeng, Du Tianxing, and others.
Yang Xiao was quite ruthless this time, insisting that everyone must adhere to the training, and of course, he led by example daily.
Gong Yu, Xia Luo, Xiao Zhe, Huang Wen, Zhou Qiang, Long Yongjun, Qin Yu, Deng Xiao, Chen Fei, Feifei, Chen Lu, and others all participated in the training.
Initially, everyone was breathlessly tired and exhausted.
Especially during those ten minutes after drinking the Genetic Transformation Potion, it was excruciating; many swore in their hearts to never participate again in agony during those painful ten minutes. However, after a day’s training, once the golden necklace was removed, everyone immediately revived fully and felt some positive changes happening in their bodies.
Stronger strength, quicker reactions, hence, everyone was thrilled again, filled with confidence, resolute in continuing.
At night, Yang Xiao instructed someone to light candles, and gathered dozens of Go game sets from stationery stores in Nanmu City and Shanyun City, teaching everyone the Spiritual Control Technique taught by Gu Bo, letting everyone slowly cultivate their spiritual power.
Everyone understood some Go, and Xia Luo, Xiao Zhe, Huang Wen, Qin Yu and others were Go experts, but cultivating spiritual power didn’t go as smoothly, they were much less proficient compared to Yang Xiao’s initial efforts.
