Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

The buyer of the Base Mutation Egg was a young woman who apparently did not have enough money, so she was bargaining with the merchant.

"Merchant brother, I\'m a student at the trainee camp. In the future, when classmates want to purchase Base Mutation Eggs, I\'ll refer them all to your place. Can you give me a bit of a discount?" The young girl was youthful and beautiful, dressed in the trainee camp\'s uniform, a white shirt, tie, plaid miniskirt, and sneakers, paired with a pair of gray stockings.

Coquettishly pleading, the merchant was instantly befuddled.

Watching from the side, Lin Shen thought to himself, "Well, damn, dressed like that, is this really a proper training camp?"

"Alright then, since you\'re a student, others buy at a loss of two hundred thousand, but I\'ll give it to you for one hundred and ninety... no... one hundred and eighty-eight thousand..." The merchant was lost in the continuous calls of brother and suddenly offered a discount of more than ten thousand.

"You hold on, don\'t you sell it!" Lin Shen inwardly despised the merchant, looking at a man who was surely in his thirties yet couldn\'t withstand the slightest bit of pressure, as if he had never seen a woman before, like a young man without any experience.

"Merchant brother, I really don\'t have that much money. Can\'t you make it a little cheaper?" The girl obviously was still not satisfied with the price, which made Lin Shen breathe a sigh of relief.

"Sister, I really can\'t make it any cheaper. At one hundred and eighty-eight thousand, I\'m already not making any money," the merchant said, still fairly principled this time.

Seeing his chance, Lin Shen was about to say that he was willing to pay the price and buy it, but before he could speak, he saw two girls in the same uniform squeeze over.

"Yiyi, what are you buying?" A girl in white stockings asked the previous girl in gray stockings.

"I want to buy this Crystal Base Level Ice Qilin egg, and merchant brother is selling it for one hundred and eighty-eight thousand, but I don\'t have that much money," Yiyi said with a troubled expression.

"Merchant brother, looking at you, young and promising, to run such a big business at such a young age, and you\'re handsome and wealthy as well—such an aura, such looks, you must come from a major family, right?" The girl in white stockings came up with a flurry of compliments.

The merchant\'s smile was almost reaching his ears, but obviously wanting to make money to support his family, he still stuck to his bottom line and reluctantly said, "I really can\'t make it any less. This Ice Qilin egg was obtained after braving life-threatening dangers, spending months at sea, and finally hunting it from Ice-Fire Island..."

"Wow, merchant brother, you actually went to Ice-Fire Island? I thought you got your stock from somebody else.

Ice-Fire Island is such a dangerous place, and you, merchant brother, actually went there alone to hunt Base Variant Creatures, and even found an Ice Qilin egg, that\'s amazing," the other girl in black stockings clasped her hands in front of her chest and looked at the merchant with admiration.

Under the continuous calls of brother from the three girls, the merchant indeed looked like he was about to give in, his mouth hanging open, scratching the back of his head and grinning, "Well, it wasn\'t that amazing, it\'s nothing big for me..."

"What kind of person is this? Have you no principles at all? Don\'t you have parents and children to support? How come a few calls of brother have you so easily persuaded?" Lin Shen inwardly panicked as the merchant was nearly swayed and he couldn\'t let them continue.

"Merchant, one hundred and eighty-eight thousand, I\'ll take this Base Mutation Egg," Lin Shen spoke up directly.

All three girls looked at Lin Shen immediately, and the merchant also turned to look at him, with a very troubled expression on his face: "Customer, this Base Mutation Egg was seen first by this young lady. I have other Ice Qilin eggs here with better color and quality. How about you take a look at these? I can offer you a special discount."

Lin Shen thought, "What good are those eggs to me, with no Fire Seed? No matter how good they are, they\'re just Crystal Base. And Crystal Mutation Eggs at this price point are definitely not great, they can only be used as cannon fodder."

Lin Shen was right; although they were called Ice Qilin eggs, they weren\'t really Qilin species. They were just a Base Variant Creature resembling Qilins found on Ice-Fire Island, practically a kind of lion whose body is like jade—a Crystal-based Creature.

Its real name was Qingyu Lion, and Ice Qilin was just a local name.

Among the Crystal Base Level, they were quite poor. It was difficult for their attributes to break thirty, usually hovering in the twenties. Moreover, they had few skills, mostly single skills, which is why their price was so low.

However, Qingyu Lions looked good, really somewhat resembling an Ice Qilin, so many young female Mutators and young men would purchase them.

"I like the look of this one; I just want to buy this one," Lin Shen could only grit his teeth and say.

"Little brother, you are so handsome."

"It\'s been so long since I\'ve seen such a good-looking little brother."

"Little brother, can I have your contact information?"

Lin Shen had braced himself to be scolded, but the three young girls didn\'t hurl insults at him; instead, they called him "little brother" one after another.

Watching the three vivacious and attractive girls, who were each beautiful in their own unique way, Lin Shen felt a bit bewildered.

He gritted his teeth and said, "It\'s no use calling me anything; I want that egg."

"Little brother, if you really like this Base Mutation Egg, I\'ll let you have it. How can I not when you\'re so handsome?"

"Little brother, a man as stylish and charming as you must have some unspeakable addiction; that\'s why you must need this Ice Qilin egg, right?"

"I\'m in love, I\'m in love, little brother is so domineering, I really like it!"

"..."

In the midst of the girls\' encirclement, Lin Shen couldn\'t help but smile, and he thought to himself, "Goodness, who could withstand this? I really misunderstood the boss earlier."

"Ahem, little sister, how much are you planning to pay for this Ice Qilin egg?" Lin Shen couldn\'t keep up his cool facade and had to ask.

"Little brother, I only have a hundred and sixty thousand, and I can\'t afford it anyway, so don\'t worry about me. You go ahead and buy it," Yiyi said in a pitiful tone.

"Boss, didn\'t you say earlier that you had a better Ice Qilin egg? How much for two?" Lin Shen asked the boss again.

"Big boss," the three young ladies turned to look at the owner with a gaze that no man could resist, from a child of eight to a man of eighty.

"Ahem, if you all want two together, I\'ll give you a discount. One for a hundred and eighty thousand, so for two let\'s say three hundred and sixty thousand total. That\'s the group purchase price, and I really can\'t go any lower," the boss said.

"Big boss, you are such a kind person."

"As expected of a big boss, too charming."

"..."

"Let\'s do a group buy, you girls chip in a hundred and sixty thousand, I\'ll put in two hundred thousand. I\'ll take this egg, and you can pick another good one." Lin Shen took the Ice Qilin egg from the girl\'s hands, then took out two hundred thousand and placed it on the stall.

"Little brother, you\'re too gentle."

"Little brother, even the way you pay is so cool."

"..."

The three young girls surrounded Lin Shen, tugging at his clothes and arms, their voices soft and sweet, leaving Lin Shen feeling a bit dazed.
