Chapter 476: Chapter 476: This Pretense is Good (3 Updates)
"Cough,"
Yang Xiao lightly coughed, a spark of inspiration flashing through his mind, he calmly said:
"These little balls might not be of any use to you, but they have some minor uses for me. Do you remember the Elixir Medicine I fed you? It’s made from these small balls burst out of various monsters, and other Spiritual Medicines. This stuff, I should be able to use it for my medicine refining."
Ah Yong, who was worried about not having an opportunity to repay the God, heard that these useless little balls could help Yang Xiao refine Divine Medicine, immediately joyfully said:
"That’s wonderful, I still have a lot of these little balls here, I will take you to see them, and if you find them useful, take them all."
Yang Xiao restrained the excitement in his heart and spoke indifferently:
"Well, but I need to take a look first, if the quality is good and indeed useful, I will take some back to try."
Yang Xiao spoke very blandly, without any desires.
Ah Yong, fearing to lose such an opportunity to ingratiate himself with the God, immediately ran into the cave, with both hands carrying a huge vine-made basket, which was filled with colorful Genetic Balls, no fewer than three to four thousand.
One Genetic Ball is equivalent to 100 Genetic Fragments; this basket is almost worth three to four hundred thousand Crystal Coins.
Monk Ben Yin clasped his hands together,
"Amitabha! Alas, this basket of little balls is only enough for us to refine 2 pieces of Elixir Medicine, and you just consumed 3 pieces."
Monk Ben Yin hadn’t finished speaking when Ah Yong, Elder Shitou, and Ah Chun immediately looked embarrassed.
They originally thought they could help the God, but unexpectedly, this basket of Genetic Balls was only enough for the God to refine 2 pieces of Divine Medicine, and the three of them had consumed three, which meant they still owed him!
Yang Xiao, looking at Monk Ben Yin, really wanted to rush forward and give a fierce kiss on his bald head, damn so talented!
Small Blood Pills cost ten Crystal Coins each, this basket of three to four hundred thousand Crystal Coins, could buy tens of thousands of Small Blood Pills.
With just one sentence from Monk Ben Yin, he diminished the value of these precious Genetic Balls to nothing, letting them know, we don’t care about your broken little balls at all.
The less you care, the more they insist on giving them to you.
Ah Yong scratched his head and said:
"This is just a part, the rest are usually thrown away by us, of course, Shenlongjia has over a dozen tribes, and each tribe has the habit of preserving these little balls, to my knowledge, some tribes have much more than us, Wolf Clan has the most, at least ten times more than us."
Yang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat, almost falling to his knees.
Monk Ben Yin hurriedly said another "Amitabha," and said:
"Well, if Ah Yong, you can help us get these Genetic Balls from various tribes, we can refine more Divine Medicine to give to you, so that you can use Divine Medicine to save your lives later, we won’t take yours, we will refine some for you merely as a side task."
Yang Xiao, looking at Monk Ben Yin, gave him a hundred praises in his heart!
Damn, who would have thought that a usually sincere monk could be so clever at a crucial moment?
Ah Yong, hearing that he could exchange these little balls for life-saving Divine Medicine, immediately became overjoyed, patting his chest and said:
"God, don’t worry, I’ve got this covered."
Yang Xiao indifferently said:
"Alright then, I will just make an effort, next time I refine Divine Medicine, I will also refine some for you guys."
Elder Shitou quickly said:
"Then we are much obliged to you, God!"
Elder Shitou was lucky this time because of the Small Blood Pills, otherwise, he would have died from excessive blood loss by now.
This basket of Genetic Balls Yang Xiao couldn’t take away for now, after thinking, he let Ah Yong temporarily keep them, waiting until he collects them from nearby tribes, then he will take them all together.
After obtaining this task, Ah Yong was very happy, assuring Yang Xiao, he would definitely take good care of these little balls.
Previously treated like trash, these little balls suddenly became precious, making Ah Yong somewhat nervous, he instructed Ah Chun to tell the children outside not to casually take the little balls from the basket to play anymore.
Elder Shitou held the fruit for Yang Xiao and Ben Yin to eat, and each of them took one casually.
Yang Xiao took a few bites and then suddenly said:
"Why don’t all your tribal groups unite, given that the number of people in your wilderness tribes isn’t large, and now that all the beasts in Shenlongjia have become incredibly powerful? It would be better if everyone could hunt together, share food, live harmoniously, and have men and women pair up freely, wouldn’t it?"
When Yang Xiao mentioned this, Elder Shitou and others fell silent for a moment, then he sighed.
"We also know the benefits of uniting and being unified. The leaders of several tribes have discussed this before, but as the leader of the Wolf Clan Tribe, the Wolf King, does not agree."
"Why does Wolf King disagree?"
"Because after the tribes unite, everyone will have to treat each other equally. Wolf King believes his tribe is superior and does not agree to equality, so the other tribes also disagree."
"Isn’t your tribe still oppressed by Wolf King Tribe even without unifying?"
Elder Shitou sighed:
"Although the Wolf King Tribe is tyrannical, they only occasionally come to rob us of some possessions and women, they can’t constantly oppress us, and on a day-to-day basis, our tribe still coexists peacefully."
According to Elder Shitou, as long as they don’t face the Wolf King, the tribes can treat each other equally and coexist peacefully internally. If they accept the Wolf King’s unequal treaty and unite, then they would have to face the Wolf King Tribe’s humiliation every day.
These dozen or so tribes are scattered around Shenlongjia, and some tribes have intentionally relocated to areas far from the Wolf King Tribe to reduce harassment.
However, the power of individual tribes is limited, particularly when facing a large number of mutant monsters, especially fierce ones, they are at a disadvantage, forcing all dispersed small tribes to live only on the edges of Shenlongjia, unable to even enter the central area.
Yang Xiao thought for a moment and asked:
"In the entire Wolf King Tribe, does everyone highly respect the Wolf King’s authority?"
Ah Yong responded by contradicting:
"It’s not like that, Wolf King is very brutal to the people inside our tribe. Most people are dissatisfied with his rule, but the Wolf King has powerful strength. He is the only one among all the tribesmen who has entered the Advanced Enhanced Gene stage. He also has a team, he treats these tribesmen well and everyone is loyal to him, so other people in the tribe also dare not oppose him."
Yang Xiao nodded,
"Is Wolf Claw his close associate?"
"Yes, Wolf Claw is his close associate and also the vice leader of the Wolf Clan Tribe. They have a team of more than thirty people, each equipped with a magic sword, very formidable."
Ah Yong raised the magic longsword in his hand and said:
"If we too had dozens of magic longswords, I wouldn’t fear Wolf King’s people."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao was taken aback and asked lightly:
"By the way, when you guys hunt monsters, apart from the genetic balls exploding, did any other items like little swords or knives explode out?"
Ah Yong replied:
"Now that you mention it, I almost forgot, there’s quite a lot of them all thrown into a cave, kids use them as toys."
Yang Xiao really wanted to say "fuck," but he held back, glanced at Ah Yong and said softly:
"Actually, these things are somewhat useful."
Ah Yong was surprised,
"How are they useful?"
"We can melt these small weapon models and forge them into magic weapons, well, probably dozens of them can be used to forge a sword."
Monk Ben Yin beside him clasped his hands together,
"Amitabha, we are already very busy, we don’t have time to help them forge magic swords, even if these things were given to me, I’d be too lazy to take them."
Yang Xiao: "..."
True to being a Shaolin monk, putting on quite the act!
