Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Tian Xun listened and left without comment, piloting the flying craft away. She had merely been passing by and had not originally planned to come here.

"Tian Xun passing by here and asking about those three people—was it unintentional or intentional?" Yu's expression kept changing.

Theoretically, Tian Xun should not be interested in three human Mutators, but if it was a coincidence, why did she pass by here specifically at this time and why did she inquire about the new arrivals?

"Do those three have some background?" Yu silently speculated.

Without the Evil Dragon, Lin Shen had no choice but to switch to a mount that could not fly. In these mountains, it was truly inconvenient to move without a flying mount.

He did a large loop around the area. There were indeed many Base Variant Creatures, but the number of mutated creatures was far less than on Realm King Planet.

"Instructor Mu was right, it's better to first develop on Realm King Planet." Lin Shen casually killed a few Crystal-based Creatures, collected the Base Mutation Fluid, and dragged their carcasses back as well.

"These two snow monkeys are of decent quality, counting as one Heavenly Currency; the rest are common goods, all together count as one Heavenly Currency..."

Lin Shen took his prey to Yu to offset his debts, only to find they amounted to just two Heavenly Currency.

Lin Shen initially thought Yu was cheating him, but when other Mutators came to sell things, the prices were roughly the same.

"Heavenly Currency is worth more than I thought. Living in a stone house costs one Heavenly Currency per day. That's a bit too expensive," Lin Shen originally thought those items were just one Heavenly Currency each, seeming not too pricey, but when actually calculated, they were not cheap at all.

But Lin Shen didn't care about this, as long as Yu's service was satisfactory, paying a bit of money was nothing.

"Yu, did a Celestial visit the village today?" Lin Shen casually asked.

"Why are you asking this?" Yu scrutinized Lin Shen and asked in return.

"So, she did come." Lin Shen feigned dejection and sighed, "Originally, hadn't I agreed to help you deliver goods with my flying pet? But today, I encountered that Celestial, and my flying pet is gone."

Yu was taken aback upon hearing this and then he suddenly realized and patted Lin Shen's shoulder, saying, "Brother, you're lucky to be alive. Do you know who that Celestial you encountered is?"

"I don't know," Lin Shen shook his head.

"On Giant Ring Star, Celestials are absolutely not to be provoked, and among them, three Celestials hold the power of life and death over everyone. One is An 117, who governs the land, another is Chi 118, who governs the oceans, and the last is Tian Xun, who governs the Star Belt," Yu said. "It's just a pet; if it's gone, it's gone. But had you offended her, you wouldn't even know how you died."

"An 117, Chi 118, why do Celestials have such strange names?" Lin Shen chuckled.

"You must not have dealt with the Celestial Race before," Yu lowered his voice and said, "There are only three surnames among Angels: Chi, Tian, and An. Within these three surnames, only the Tian surname has its own given names.

Those with surnames Chi and An are ranked by their strength; the meaning of An 117 is that he ranks 117th in the strength of the An family, and Chi 118 follows the same principle."

"Ranking 117 and 118, what kind of strength is that?" Lin Shen felt that something was off.

"Such illustrious figures, how would we know? But to be in charge of an entire planet, they must at least be Nirvana-level Powerhouses," Yu remarked.

"That means, Tian Xun is also at the Nirvana Level?" Lin Shen secretly broke out in a cold sweat, realizing that the Tian Xun who showed interest in the Crystal-based pet was actually a being of Nirvana Level.

Thinking back, he had contemplated capturing Tian Xun, to have her spend a night with him and take the Fire Seed from her body. Fortunately, he had not acted; otherwise, the ensuing trouble would have been enormous.

"Definitely. So you see, you're lucky to be alive. It's just a pet; it's no big deal as long as you're alive," Yu sighed. "It's a shame you won't be able to do the delivery job anymore."

"Why would a Nirvana-level Powerhouse be interested in my pet?" Lin Shen was still puzzled. Although the Evil Dragon was good, to a Nirvana Being, it shouldn't be any different from trash.

"Who knows? We don't understand the affairs of Celestials, and we'd best not ask too many questions." Yu seemed to know a bit more but was unwilling to say.

"Nirvana Level, huh? That's troublesome," Lin Shen felt slightly gloomy.

He had originally thought that if Tian Xun were just an Ascender, with his strength, it wouldn't be impossible to have a chance; he could figure out some way to capture her and sleep with her, taking the Fire Seed from her body.

But now it turned out she was at the Nirvana Level. Where would Lin Shen dare to make a move? He could only put that idea to rest for the time being.

His elder sister's condition was getting better; she had drunk three bowls of herbal soup today and no longer had a high fever, the dark spots on her body also seemed to have faded somewhat.

Lin Shen relayed all the information he had gathered and the situation nearby to his elder sister.

"The value of the Celestial Clan's Heavenly Currency is much higher than our mother star's currency. With our siblings' abilities, it should not be hard to earn money here..." His elder sister was already planning how to build her commercial empire here.

"Big sis, we came here to take refuge, earning money is secondary, let's try to keep a low profile," Lin Shen promptly interrupted his sister's reverie. If she continued, she might even start planning how to earn enough money to buy Giant Ring Star—she really dared to dream big.

His elder sister suddenly lost her enthusiasm, saying weakly, "But we have to earn some money to live, right? We can't work for Yu every day, can we?"

"That's true, the conditions here are too poor, and we'd best find a more comfortable place to live," Lin Shen thought of the singing woman from the previous night and asked his elder sister, "Big sis, did you hear a woman singing next door last night?"

"I felt so terrible yesterday; I was out of it. How could I listen to anything?" Lin Miao said, suddenly her eyes lit up, "There's a woman next door? What does she look like? How old is she? Is she married?"

"Sis, what are you thinking about? What's our situation now, and you still have the mood to think about these things?" Lin Shen knew what his elder sister was thinking about and was rather speechless.

"The old saying goes, 'Set up a family before you start a business.' Although conditions are a bit tough now, harsh conditions cannot delay dating, right? Besides, men and women working together makes work less tiring. In this godforsaken place, having a beautiful girl struggling alongside you is better than being alone, isn't it? Tell your sister, what's that girl really like..."

"How would I know? I haven't seen her. I just heard a woman humming songs next door at night," Lin Shen said with a wry smile.

"She lives right next door to us, so there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. I'll help you check her out later and, if she's decent..." Lin Miao's eyes started to sparkle.

Lin Shen was left speechless and decided to ignore her, getting his things ready for the imminent arrival of darkness.
