Chapter 335: Chapter 335: The Boss is in Trouble
Big brother Yang Xiao only has the Enhanced Gene at Primary Level, yet Gong Yu is at the Intermediate Level of Enhanced Gene, practically a godlike figure in everyone’s eyes!
Gong Yu smiled modestly and bowed to Xia Luo and the others:
"Please take good care of me!"
Yang Xiao smiled, took Gong Yu’s hand, and said:
"Gong Yu is my good brother. He once risked his life to save me in the desert. You all are my good brothers too. From now on, we are one family. Gong Yu will be based in Nanmu City from now on. Take some time to rest first. Later, you can lead a team for training in the desert. With him in charge, I feel at ease."
Gong Yu was stunned, emotionally moved.
In Magic City, there were too many experts, so one had to wait in line for a long time for the opportunity to train in the desert. Gong Yu had been to the desert region last month and estimated that it would be difficult to have the chance to return in the next year or two.
However, Nanmu City was different, with only a few people qualified to enter the desert. Going into the desert with low Levels was akin to seeking death, but now he had the Level advantage. Although he had lost a hand, which affected his Combat Power, training on the edge of the desert was still more than manageable. If Yang Xiao gave him the opportunity, he could break through to the Enhanced Gene Advanced Level in less than half a year.
Thinking of this, Gong Yu was full of confidence and excitement. He couldn’t help but look at Yang Xiao with gratitude. It was Yang Xiao who had given him a second life and restored his confidence and courage.
Yang Xiao patted Gong Yu on the shoulder, the affection between brothers was all unsaid.
Yang Xiao also wanted to utilize Gong Yu’s strengths to help lead teams and cultivate more talents. Although Gong Yu had lost a hand, he still had combat strength.
Xiao Zhe and others felt that with a great deity like Gong Yu in Nanmu City, the strength of Nanmu City had increased exponentially!
Yang Xiao then took Yang Kai and Yang Ying by their hands and said:
"These are two kids I met in Magic City. This is Yang Kai, and this is Yang Ying. From now on, treat them as your own younger brother and sister. No one is allowed to bully them, understand?"
"Boss, you can rest assured. If anyone dares to bully them, I’ll be the first to disagree."
Zhao Gang said with a giggle.
Everyone laughed.
All of them were adults, and with the sudden appearance of a pair of 12- or 13-year-old teenagers, there was a sense of warmth in their hearts.
Yang Kai and Yang Ying immediately bowed to everyone:
"Big brothers and sisters, please look after us."
Huang Wen quickly came over, took Yang Ying’s hand, and said:
"Look how pretty our sister Yang Ying is. She’ll definitely be a big beauty in the future."
"Sister Huang Wen is the big beauty."
"Ah, sweet talker. Yang Xiao, let Yang Ying follow me, okay?"
Yang Xiao said with a smile:
"That’s up to her whether she’s willing or not."
"I’m willing."
Yang Ying said obediently.
Yang Ying came to Nanmu City with Yang Xiao and felt how impressive Yang Xiao was as a big boss, and her heart was excited. She also knew she was lucky to have found a strong support.
At the same time, through brief observation, she could feel the familial warmth and harmony between Yang Xiao and his friends, which was exactly the kind of homeliness she appreciated.
She also noticed that Huang Wen and Yang Xiao had a special relationship and that Huang Wen had a high status. As a 12-year-old girl who had experienced the harsh realities of half a year of post-apocalyptic life, she naturally knew how to read the room. Huang Wen’s offer to take her in was more than welcome.
"Good, from now on you’re my little sister."
Huang Wen took Yang Ying’s hand to her own seat and made Yang Ying sit on her lap.
Yang Xiao was startled:
"What’s going on? My little sister just arrived, and you’ve already snatched her away?"
"From now on, don’t argue with me. She’s my sister, hee hee."
Huang Wen lovingly hugged Yang Ying, warming her heart and bringing tears to her eyes.
Zhao Gang laughed and patted Yang Kai’s shoulder, saying:
"Your brother Yang Xiao is very busy and doesn’t have time to look after you. You follow me from now on, okay?"
Yang Kai was naturally more than happy and quickly bowed:
"Thank you, Brother Zhao Gang!"
Yang Xiao smiled. Having Zhao Gang and Huang Wen looking after the siblings was the best outcome; otherwise, he truly did not have the time.
Later, Xia Luo and others reported to Yang Xiao about the general situation in Nanmu City and Shanyun City over the past month.
Both cities had a daily output of about 200,000 Crystal Coins. Apart from Huang Wen, Qin Yu, and others who were training in the desert without using the Crystal Coin resources of the two cities, they had promoted a group of talents with Primordial Gene at the Primary and Intermediate Levels.
Now Xia Luo and Xiao Zhe have both reached the Advanced Primordial Gene level, the next step is to help Zhou Qiang, Long Yongjun, and Zhao Gang break through to the Advanced Primordial Gene level.
Huang Wen, Qin Yu, and others, relying on their own strength, have accumulated enough in the desert and will be able to break through to high-level very soon. If they temporarily leave the desert, we can also consider using the public resources of both areas to assist them in breaking through.
"The Ice Fish resources in the Star River Basin have been basically depleted, now all personnel have moved to Star Moon Lake. Places within 20 kilometers near Shanyun City and Nanmu City have been mined, and in the future, we can only advance to more distant areas. However, these areas don’t have teleportation stations, making the cost of mining Ice Fish higher in the future."
...
While everyone was chatting, a series of hurried footsteps and shrieking voices came from outside the door, and then, a group of people rushed in.
Qin Yu, Deng Xiao, Chen Fei, and Dai Yun came back from the desert and, hearing of Yang Xiao’s return, rushed in excitedly.
Yang Xiao quickly stood up and laughed:
"Hey, look at these beautiful ladies, you’ve become even more attractive after just a few days!"
Qin Yu’s eyes reddened, and she threw herself into a firm embrace with Yang Xiao, wrapping her arms around his neck and said:
"I’ve missed you!"
Yang Xiao was taken aback, unsure of how to respond.
Qin Yu and Deng Xiao were both forthright in love, unlike Huang Wen’s subtlety.
"Uh, I missed you too, all of you!"
Yang Xiao gently hugged her around her slim waist.
Qin Yu was not clingy; she got out of Yang Xiao’s embrace right away, with Deng Xiao, Chen Fei, and Dai Yun still standing behind her.
Deng Xiao also gave Yang Xiao a solid hug and whispered in his ear with a laugh:
"What did Qin Yu just say to you?"
"Ah, nothing."
"Playing dumb."
While hugging Yang Xiao, Deng Xiao naturally pinched him on his lower back.
Yang Xiao grimaced immediately.
Deng Xiao chuckled and wriggled free from his embrace, saying:
"Chen Fei, Dai Yun, didn’t you say you missed the boss? Come on and give him a hug, hehe."
Yang Xiao suddenly realized that being liked by one woman is a blessing, but being on the minds of a group of women is definitely a catastrophe.
Yang Ying watched the scene and suddenly leaned close to Huang Wen’s ear, whispering:
"Sister Wen, you have so many rivals, I’m really worried for you."
Huang Wen gave Yang Ying a glare and scolded:
"You little imp!"
"Don’t worry, I’m on your side, I’ll help you."
Yang Ying said earnestly, warming Huang Wen’s heart, feeling that this younger sister was truly sweet.
With all her sisters contending for Yang Xiao, only this little sister said she would help her; how could she not be touched?
However, Yang Kai had a different perspective and quietly said to Zhao Gang:
"I think the boss is in trouble!"
Zhao Gang was stunned and asked:
"What trouble does the boss have?"
"Women are like tigers, isn’t he in trouble being surrounded by a bunch of tigers?"
Yang Kai’s last remark was quite loud, and everyone in the room heard it.
"Pfft!"
"Ha ha...."
The whole room burst into laughter!
Zhao Gang couldn’t stop laughing.
