Super Gene Hunting Ground-Chapter 852 - 850: It’s Not Like We’re Short on Money

Xue Gang and the others finally reacted, glaring coldly at Minister Liu, loudly saying:

"Are we frauds?"

"No, no, Guard Xue, sorry, it was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

Minister Liu's forehead was beading with cold sweat, his expression extremely awkward.

Yang Xiao cast a glance at the waitress and the chef, both of whom had hung their heads and were standing nervously to the side.

Since Minister Liu had confirmed that Yang Xiao was a friend of the Eldest Prince, they naturally couldn't afford to offend him.

Minister Liu immediately said to the waitress and the chef:

"Hurry over and apologize to Young Master Yang and Guard Xue. Didn't even figure out the situation and started making a fuss here. Do you still want your jobs? Or your lives?"

The two, with extreme reluctance, walked in front of Yang Xiao and bowed together to apologize.

"Sorry, Young Master Yang, it was our misunderstanding."

Yang Xiao wasn't inclined to lower himself to their level. After all, they were just some schmoozing lower-level people, but he was still internally angry about the earlier insults directed at him and Xue Gang. So he said calmly:

"Slap each other three times, loud enough to hear, and then we'll consider it settled."

The waitress and the chef looked up at each other with distressed expressions.

"Do we need to wait for the Prince to handle you personally?"

Xue Gang snorted coldly from the side.

The two felt a chill go down their spines.

Everyone knew that Long Aotian was not to be trifled with, highly suspicious and cruel by nature, never showing mercy when punishing his subordinates.

The chef, gritting his teeth, raised his hand and slapped the waitress.

"Slap!"

It was indeed loud. A clear red handprint immediately appeared on the waitress's face, causing one side of her face to swell.

Both of them were King Level Genetic Evolvers.

The waitress wasn't one to take it lying down either; she gritted her teeth and gave the chef a hard slap, making his chubby face even plumper.

Their grievances and anger instantly turned against each other.

"Slap!" "Slap!" "Slap!" "Slap!"

After four crisp hits, both of their faces swelled to more than double their size.

Yang Xiao waved his hand, signaling for them to leave.

The onlookers who had gathered around saw the situation instantly reversed, not at all developing in the direction they had expected. Feeling a bit disappointed, they hurried back to their tables to continue eating, not wanting to attract any trouble.

The fact that the Eldest Prince allowed a friend to spend sixty million Crystal Coins on a meal showed that this person naturally held significant weight.

The restaurant returned to normal, and Minister Liu promptly called another waitress over to pour tea for Yang Xiao, Xue Gang, and the others, with a smiling face.

For today's unexpected interruption, Yang Xiao didn't take it to heart and simply asked:

"How much of that Nine Heavens Flying Bird meat do you have in stock?"

"Well, we have about a thousand kilograms left. This Nine Heavens Flying Bird Super Demon Beast was accidentally encountered by the Emperor of Great Dragon when he led an army to attack the Snow Leopard Empire in a deep mountain, and they hunted it down,

Our boss was with the cook to prepare meals for everyone and specifically asked the Emperor of Great Dragon to bring back half a wing, which has been stored in our inn's cold storage..."

Minister Liu recounted the story of the Nine Heavens Flying Bird meat with great enthusiasm, feeling a sense of pride, as having such a premium ingredient is something worth bragging about for any hotel.

Yang Xiao then said:

"If I want to buy all of your stock of bird meat, how much will it cost?"

"Well, Young Master Yang, your request is truly a first for me, I don't even know how to answer you."

Minister Liu looked at Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao didn't hide his intentions and said directly:

"My genetic evolution level is relatively low, and I feel that this Emperor Level Super Demon Beast would be very helpful in improving my genetic evolution, so I want to buy it all. Name your price."

"Well?"

Minister Liu was unsure how to respond to Yang Xiao.

If following the hotel's sale price, a five-kilogram serving of braised Nine Heavens Flying Bird is ten million Crystal Coins, one thousand kilograms would be equivalent to two hundred servings, or two billion Crystal Coins.

However, clearly, the meat isn't worth that much money.

Just like when we dine at a hotel, an ordinary stir-fried cabbage dish might be priced at eighteen yuan, but the ingredient cost might not even be one yuan.

According to the market price, this meat would be worth around one billion Crystal Coins.

However, Emperor Level Super Demon Beast meat usually has no market value because it can't be bought.

"Young Master Yang, I really have a hard time setting a price, and I can't make the decision."

"If you can't decide, that's okay. Why not ask Long Aotian to see if he can make the decision for you?"

Once again, Yang Xiao called Long Aotian's name directly.

Xue Gang and the other guards changed their expressions upon hearing this, and Minister Liu became even more internally anxious, unsure of the background of this young man who repeatedly called Long Aotian's name with such ease and naturalness.

When they thought about Yang Xiao spending sixty million Crystal Coins without batting an eye, they naturally felt a certain reverence for Yang Xiao's mysterious identity.

If they knew that Yang Xiao currently owned hundreds of mining bases and thousands of wells on the Purple Origin Star and might even possess the entire Purple Origin Star's Purple Crystal Stone resources in the future, they wouldn't be surprised. A mere sixty million Crystal Coins really didn't matter to Yang Xiao.

Minister Liu hesitated for a moment and said:

"Please wait a moment, I'll consult our boss."

A moment later, a medium-built old man approached Yang Xiao's table.

"Young Master Yang, this is our boss Zhao."

Yang Xiao stood up and clasped his hands as a greeting:

"Boss Zhao, a pleasure to meet you!"

"Likewise, Young Master Yang. I heard you want to buy all of our stock of Nine Heavens Flying Bird Wings?"

"Yes, name your price."

"Ahem!"

Boss Zhao lightly coughed.

This Nine Heavens Flying Bird only sold three portions in a year, one of which was bought by the War God. Although the price was marked at ten million per portion, could he really dare take War God's money?

Having the War God dine here was already a huge honor and an invisible advertisement effect.

Then the richest man in Dragon City came driven by reputation, had a meal, and he gave him a 40% discount, collecting six million Crystal Coins.

Later, the Fourth Young Master came and had a meal, giving him a 60% discount, charging him four million Crystal Coins.

Only Yang Xiao, this fool, ate six portions at once and was charged full price.

The issue was, it was on credit, and the bill was under the Prince's account. Whether six million could be collected in the end was another matter.

Is it easy to run an inn?

No, it's not!

Initially pricing the Nine Heavens Flying Bird at ten million per portion was a gimmick in itself. Most of the people in Dragon City who could afford this dish were individuals he dared not offend.

The wings have been on sale for a year, and today is the first time encountering a genuine customer. Boss Zhao is a businessman and wants to earn some money too.

"Young Master Yang, you want to buy all the wings of the Nine Heavens Flying Bird?"

"Hmm, is that possible?"

"Haha, of course, it is. I'm a businessman, and you're a customer. There's no deal we can't strike, right?"

"Boss Zhao, you're indeed straightforward. Name your price."

"Okay, but before I set a price, I have one condition; no putting it on the Prince's tab. Cash settlement only."

Boss Zhao surely doesn't want to be bargaining to the point of pain when settling the account with Long Aotian. What if Long Aotian smoothly becomes the heir to the throne? Then dare he even go to Long Aotian's residence to settle the bill?

Sending a gift is more like it!

"No problem."

Yang Xiao said indifferently, taking a sip from his teacup.

"Two hundred million Crystal Coins!"

Boss Zhao held up two fingers.

When he went to beg the Emperor of Great Dragon for these wings, he only knelt and kowtowed a few times to the Emperor.

"Deal."

Yang Xiao set down his teacup.

Boss Zhao's heart skipped a beat. Watching Yang Xiao, he suddenly regretted it deeply. He was waiting for Yang Xiao to haggle, but didn't expect Yang Xiao to agree outright. If he had known, he would've set the price at 300 or 400 million Crystal Coins. Missing a wealthy client like this, he might never encounter one again in his entire life.

Yang Xiao took out a Black Gold Card from his Space Ring and handed it to Minister Liu beside Boss Zhao.

"Check, please."

This card was specially created before his trip at Gustone's Genetic Store, valid across all countries on Witch Star, and contains ten billion Crystal Coins.

Xue Gang and the others on the side were also dumbfounded, gawking at Yang Xiao.

No wonder this guy didn't even bat an eyelash at the previous six million menu. Truly a person with means, spending two hundred million on a meal without flinching.

The onlookers around witnessing this scene were instantly stirred up.

"Damn, what a real tycoon, spending two hundred million Crystal Coins without blinking."

"Is he stupid? With two hundred million Crystal Coins, why not directly buy Genetic Potion to enhance evolution speed?"

"Sigh, we just don't understand the world of the rich."

...

Yang Xiao thought to himself, if drinking Genetic Potion directly could enhance evolution speed, would I spend this unnecessary money?

The Genetic Potion is a reagent compounded from various drugs. Although it has the same effect as the blood and flesh of Demon Beasts, there are also differences.

The flesh and blood of Demon Beasts, besides enhancing evolution speed, can also improve physique.

This point was something Yang Xiao gradually realized later on.

Especially the essence of Demon Beast flesh and blood refined through that mysterious Black Bottle, consumed daily, is significantly helpful for continuously improving one's Genetic Evolution Space.

When Yang Xiao ate the Emperor Level Nine Heavens Flying Bird meat, the sensation was particularly evident. The electric current was even more intense than the liquid he usually drank from the Black Bottle.

After all, the Demon Beasts he hunted on Purple Origin Star were all King Level or Emperor Level. The Genetic Evolution Energy they contained naturally paled in comparison to this Emperor Level Demon Beast.

Now, drinking ordinary Genetic Potion barely enhances genetic evolution, even that electric current sensation has weakened significantly. How could he pass up the meat of this Emperor Level Demon Beast?

Money is not an object for me!
