Chapter 192: Chapter 84: Gene Module Shopping Spree_3

The more he bought, the more the old man earned; it seemed that they had encountered a small gang making a purchase.

"If you had said you were purchasing from earlier on, young man, are there only six brothers in your gang? Do you want to buy more?" he asked while making the calculations.

Gao Xin shook his head, only to ask again, "Do you have any SR gene modules?"

This time, the old man didn’t curse but simply said, "Your gang still has SRs? Nevermind, I won’t ask further."

"You want SR gene modules, but I don’t have them here; they’re too expensive, starting at over a hundred thousand, and our people can’t afford to exchange for them."

"If you want one, maybe they have them in the Yakutza’s store, but if they discover some gang has an SR... heh heh..."

Gao Xin nodded; no wonder when he previously mentioned SR, people thought he was picking a fight.

Indeed, in such a small place, SRs were too rare. They were a qualification that only appeared once among ten thousand Radiation survivors.

In the entire Yamaguchi Village, with roughly forty to fifty thousand Radiation survivors, there were only a handful of SRs.

From the old man’s tone, it was apparent that they all gathered in Yakutza, and not a single small gang possessed one!

Regarding solo groups, it was possible that only Silver Hand was an SR lying low, who had been taken out by him in the first atonement game...

Thinking of this, Gao Xin couldn’t help but glance at Silver Hand beside him, "Thinking about it now, you truly had it rough."

Silver Hand looked at Gao Xin with a profound gaze, as though his expression was saying: Wasn’t it you who did it?

Kerry was taken aback, thinking Gao Xin was speaking to him, "Ah? I had it rough? As I said, everything with the gang is in the past, and I’m pretty content being a solo now, nothing to feel rough about."

"However, if the Japanese discover an SR, they’re sure to make a move, you definitely haven’t seen an SR in the wild..."

He signaled Gao Xin with a look, hinting that even if Gao Xin knew SR, he shouldn’t talk about it here.

Gao Xin of course knew this and didn’t continue the subject.

"Just these six bottles, how much?"

The old man quickly calculated: "Those five bottles plus one piece for 80, this single gene module is 950, adding up to 1030."

Gao Xin felt it was sheer profiteering.

A single module could break even with a hundred sales, as long as one had extracted plenty from the get-go, they could sell endlessly.

Multi-gene modules were the real deal for him, after all, grabbing any random Radiation survivor off the street would likely yield more than one gene module.

Theoretically, Gao Xin could simply roam the streets, capture someone, and draw their blood, potentially gathering all the N-type gene modules.

However, that was obviously too insane; as for that Exoskeleton Armor, although expensive, a Radiation survivor who could afford a gene module priced at ninety-five thousand, especially an R-type, would certainly be no small fish and not so easily harmed, right?

Gao Xin took out the money and counted it but didn’t rush to pay immediately.

Instead, he asked, "Boss, does your store have anyone who can demonstrate the effects of these gene modules?"

Gao Xin could assimilate these gene tissues by relying on False Words Cast Heart.

But that didn’t mean he could immediately learn whatever was inside; he needed to know their effects.

Before, the blood of that Fatso definitely contained more than the gene module for organ overclocking, yet Gao Xin had only learned organ overclocking for the time being.

For the other modules, he didn’t know what capabilities Fatso had, so naturally, he couldn’t use False Words Cast Heart.

Gao Xin needed a clear understanding of the corresponding phenomena; otherwise, he wouldn’t know where to direct his Heart Power.

The best was to experience it firsthand, the next best thing was to observe it closely, and certainly to have someone demonstrate all the effects before him, so he could evolve them on his body.

If he had only read the introduction and relied on his imagination, it wasn’t impossible, but that was equivalent to ’enlightenment,’ which would require a long time of trial and error to possibly understand one.

"Demonstration?" the old man was taken aback.

Gao Xin smiled and said, "Yes, a demonstration. After all, when people pick out gene modules here, they need to know what specific effects the modules have."

"What if some modules are oversold but end up being useless? Help a guy out, I might come back for more purchases later."

The old man frowned but seeing that Gao Xin was buying a lot, he said, "N-type’s so common that it’s not worth demonstrating, you can figure that out by getting into a fight yourself."

"But since you’re buying this [Exoskeleton Armor], which is the most expensive item in my shop, I can indeed give you a demonstration."

With that, he walked to the door and shouted outside a few times.

Soon a Black Blood Gang member entered, with a stern face.

He was tall and imposing, giving Kerry and Gao Xin a cold scan, his gaze carrying a warning.

He then asked the old man, "Father, what is it?"

After the old man explained the situation and concluded, "Just show him, Yamal, he’s bought your gene essence."

Yamal frowned, "I’m a hitman, not a model."

The old man said, "Alright, stop fussing, we’re doing business here, hurry it up."

Yamal stared coldly at Gao Xin, "Kid, look carefully."

As he spoke, he took off his shirt, and a multitude of blue bones and keratinous material explosively grew out of his skin.

They first secreted like a solution, spreading and extending over his skin like living things, before quickly taking shape.

In the end, it formed a fiercely hideous set of blue battle armor, covering his entire body, including his head, resembling a suit of nanotech combat gear.

"Damn, that’s so cool!" Kerry exclaimed, drooling.

Gao Xin was also stunned. The exoskeleton armor was covered in blades and sharp spikes everywhere.

It combined the aesthetic of a mecha with biological elegance, and coupled with Yamal’s two-meter-tall frame, standing there, he looked like a formidable and domineering heavy mecha.

Yamal proudly said, "Kid, although I am just a True Wolf, the exoskeleton armor I generate can easily ignore firearms.

"If it were wielded by a Tiger Level powerhouse, it could even resist heavy machine guns and artillery fire, like a humanoid tank."

Gao Xin revealed the Demon Blade, "Bro, can I take a swipe at it?"

Yamal disdainfully said, "Go ahead."

Gao Xin did not overclock his organs, but instead concentrated his strength to deliver a single cut in his normal state.

"Bang!"

Yamal simultaneously stepped forward, blocking with his right hand.

Gao Xin was instantly sent flying, executing a graceful backflip to land.

Looking at Yamal again, a deep gash had burst open on the thick bone armor of his right arm. Gao Xin’s blade had sliced directly into the dermis layer, injuring Yamal’s muscles and internal skeleton.

"Good lad, your blade is not bad...argh!" Yamal suddenly cried out in pain.

He looked at his right arm, where bloodstains spread across the bone, being eroded and decomposed by something.

"The blade is poisoned!" Yamal was furious.

Gao Xin hurried forward, "Don’t move, I’ll take care of it."

He breathed sharply at the wound, and the bloodstains quickly wilted, as if they had gone dormant.

"Get away!" Although he felt better, Yamal still pushed Gao Xin away, then stuck his fingers into the gaps of his bone armor and yanked hard.

"Rip!"

He tore off a layer of his arm’s protective bone armor like skin and threw it on the ground.

His right hand was dripping with blood, as if a layer of skin had been peeled away.

"Sorry, I forgot to warn you. My blade is coated with digestive fluid," Gao Xin said with concern. "Are you alright?"

His digestive microorganisms were B+ grade. They could even digest the bones of a young Tiger Level, not to mention those of a True Wolf Level.

Yamal was annoyed, but he didn’t say anything. In this day and age, it was quite normal to coat a blade with something, and he had agreed to let the other person take a swing at him.

At this moment, he only felt embarrassed because his defense was breached and his exoskeleton armor was eroded and dissolved.

"Are we done here?" Yamal grumbled.

Gao Xin laughed, "Yes, we’re done."

As he spoke, parts of Yamal’s exoskeleton armor began to soften, turning back into a solution.

Yamal, grimacing with pain, peeled it off like a layer of film and crawled out from inside.

Then... he ate his own exoskeleton solution in big bites, some pieces cracking crisply like eggshells.

"This is..."

The old man stared at Gao Xin’s blade and explained, "Oh, of course, the exoskeleton armor is detachable..."

Gao Xin asked a few more questions and quickly learned that the formation and dissolution of the exoskeleton were both controllable processes.

These exoskeletons were even connected to a neural network. When not needed, they could produce a dissolving substance, allowing them to self-dissolve.

The old man concluded, "Each person’s dissolving substance is unique. Never let anyone get your dissolving substance, or they can make a special solution to break the armor, making your exoskeleton as soft as molten eggshells."

Gao Xin nodded, thanked them, paid the money, and was ready to leave.

Unexpectedly, the old man suddenly stopped him, "Wait... Is that blade a Cang Yue?"
