474: Chapter 474 Starry Night Chapter Sixteen

Two years? Ning Yuan didn't dwell on why An Yueshan was so confident; he left the place with the Level Three gene serum.

After taking the gene serum, he would continue heading into the Wasteland, slaughtering and meditating.

He could not pin all his hopes on the other party.

The Dawn Society, in the end, was just an organization with only four members; perhaps there were others, but it was definitely just an obscure little organization.

Leaving the Safe Zone by another hundred miles, after taking the Level Three gene serum this time, he might be able to attempt heading deeper.

"Gene serum." Ning Yuan looked at the serum in his hand, muttered a word, and then gulped it down.

Two months passed.

On the seventh day after drinking the serum, Ning Yuan had already woken up; at this point, he was over three hundred miles away from the Safe Zone.

He was lying under a large tree, bandaging the wound on his arm. A foot-long gash had appeared on his arm, deep enough to see the bone, but he had already used his cyan flames to heal most of the wound. However, his remaining extraordinary power was low, so he couldn't continue to exhaust it and needed to save some for emergencies.

The rest would just have to be bandaged up.

After bandaging the wound, he got up and went over to deal with a Level Three Pollution Beast.

It was a Ghost Panther; this was the thing that had torn his flesh with one claw. If he hadn't reacted in time, it would probably have torn his throat instead.

The depths of this Wasteland were even more dangerous than he had imagined.

However, over these past two months, relying on his second level Talent combined with being a Level Three Gene Warrior, plus the pocket watch, his gains were immense. The materials on him could sell for at least sixty or seventy gold coins.

Unfortunately, the price of Level Four gene serum was a full fifty times higher than the Level Three gene serum, with a market price reaching one thousand gold coins.

It wasn't like the gap between second level and Level Three gene serums, which was only a few times higher.

According to what Ning Yuan knew, besides the fact that the source materials for the Level Four gene serum were harder to obtain, the success rate was also extremely low, so the value skyrocketed.

This also made Ning Yuan feel that the three An siblings might not be simple. After all, among Level Three warriors, many people, even if they had the qualifications to become Level Four, would struggle to gather such a huge sum of money in their lifetime.

Yet An Yueshan had gone back for only a month and directly became a Level Four Gene Warrior.

After collecting most of the materials, he left the area, found a spot under a large rock, set up his Shelter, and began to rest for a while, taking the opportunity to eat something.

After eating, he would meditate and cultivate; he had spent the last two months doing exactly this.

He opened his phone and found a message from An Yueshan.

"Little Brother Ning, the Level Four gene serum has arrived. You can come back when you have time."

The mouth chewing on the dry rations paused.

"So fast?"

After replying, Ning Yuan couldn't help but feel a bit excited. Although An Yueshan had said he could get another bottle of Level Four gene serum soon, he hadn't expected it to be this fast.

Since it had arrived, he would go back tomorrow; he would arrive in five days at most.

However, he was still feeling quite excited. Once he became a Level Four limit-breaking Gene Warrior and combined that with his Talent, even if he couldn't beat a Level Five yet, he definitely wouldn't be crushed.

And when his Talent improved to Level Three, and his mental power also increased, he might even be stronger than a Level Five Gene Warrior. By then, he would no longer fear them. Once he reached this level, he would have enough strength to establish a foothold even in the entire Safe Zone.

Calming his emotions, he didn't rest but continued to meditate and cultivate. Only through perseverance could he become a Third-Rank Talent Holder faster.

The next day, Ning Yuan emerged from his Shelter and headed back toward the Safe Zone.

Awoo!

Suddenly, Ning Yuan felt a threat approaching. He dodged quickly and turned around to see a silver wolf!

A silver wolf? Two heads?

This... this wouldn't be that wolf that ate the azure fruit, would it?

At this moment, the silver wolf was covered in wounds, its magnificent fur full of crisscrossing gashes.

It had originally wanted to charge at Ning Yuan, but it ended up collapsing to the ground.

"Is this... being hunted by other scavenger teams?"

Ning Yuan hesitated for a moment, then approached the silver wolf.

The silver wolf was still emitting low growls, but it was too weak. After collapsing, it seemed as if all its strength had been drained, and it could barely lift its head.

Ning Yuan felt a bit of pity. He thought for a moment and said, "Don't move, I'll help you heal."

The cyan flames spread along the silver wolf's wounds. At first, the silver wolf bared its teeth, but then it seemed to notice its wounds healing. Its intelligent eyes darted around, and finally, it rested its head down peacefully.

The cyan flames burned slowly, and the deep, bone-visible gashes on the silver wolf began to heal. Some smaller wounds scabbed over, but the larger ones only healed partially.

Ning Yuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "I can only help you this much. Whether you survive or not is up to you."

Only thirty percent of his extraordinary power remained; he couldn't afford to exhaust any more.

With a flash of movement, he disappeared into the gloomy forest.

The silver wolf climbed up from the ground, let out a few whimpers in that direction, and then continued to flee.

Five days later, Ning Yuan arrived at the Happiness Grocery Store again.

"Little Brother Ning, you're back!" An Chi was lying on a chair at the entrance. Seeing Ning Yuan return, he immediately came over with a cheeky grin.

"Yeah, is Big Brother An not here?"

"He went to the black market, but he'll be back tonight."

"Alright, then I'll wait."

The materials on him had already been processed when he entered. At this moment, he was considering that since he didn't need to pay for the serum himself, he now had quite a bit of money on him, so he wondered if he should set up his own place.

Thinking of this, he began to ask An Chi.

"An Chi, do you know where there are any decent houses? My budget is thirty to fifty gold coins."

"Buying a house? Thirty to fifty gold coins? With that money, you can buy a very good house in the Outer City, or even a decent one in the Inner City. Where are you planning to buy, Little Brother Ning?"

Ning Yuan thought about it. He didn't need to go to the Inner City for now, and going to the Inner City would require re-registering his identity. If he did that, he would be a public figure, and any family or faction could easily investigate him.

"In the Outer City, I guess. It doesn't need to be too big; over a hundred square meters is enough. It's best if it has good management so I don't have to worry about Aberrations breaking in."

"Then my first recommendation is the Tianrong Residential Area in this district! The gatekeeper of this complex is a Level Three Gene Warrior, formerly the second-in-command of the famous Blood Ghost squad in our district. Now that he's retired, he was hired by the Tianrong Residential Area to be the gatekeeper."

"Besides the gatekeeper, there's also a security captain who is also Level Three, so you don't have to worry about Aberrations or Pollution Beasts at all. Most people living here are relatives of Level Three Gene Warriors or Level Three Mutants, and you don't have to worry about turning on the lights at night attracting any Aberrations."

"The environment is also very good; they've planted quite a few ornamental plants inside. It can be considered a wealthy neighborhood here. The price of houses inside is around forty gold coins. There are already renovated ones you can choose from, just need to add five gold coins."

"Hmm, I see. I'll go take a look later."

He would take the Level Four gene serum first; this time it would probably take a lot of time, at least half a month.
