Super Gene Optimization Fluid

.

Xia Fei nodded.
“Yes.
Everything you got.”

The young man stood up as if he had just been assigned a task of utmost importance.
A thin-skinned man like him was not suited to set up a stall by the roadside and hawk goods.
No matter how upscale this road might be, he clearly considered selling his goods to be a very embarrassing situation, so now that Xia Fei was planning to buy all his goods in one go, he was beside himself with joy.

“I have a hundred White Dews and a hundred Snake Eye Berries, with twenty Purple Silver Figs included.
I originally wanted to sell them over a few days, so I only brought out half my stock today.
The rest are still back in the hotel.”

Xia Fei laughed.
“No worries.
I’ll follow you and retrieve them all.”

“Sure!” The young man nodded, and he quickly packed up his stall and headed to the pier with Xia Fei.

“What association are you part of? This is the first time I’ve seen someone with a badge like yours,” Xia Fei casually asked.

His badge had a stubborn dog tail grass growing under two giant trees, and it looked very peculiar.

“I’m from the Nanming Association.
We are a medicinal research association, which focuses on medicine gathering, and not some warrior organization.
I heard my dad telling me that the ancestors of our Nanming were once from The Brotherhood, which is why though our association is small, we are still able to join The Brotherhood in all sorts of activities.”

Xia Fei mused.
“So I see.
I wonder where you’ve gathered all these fruits of yours; the quality is top-notch, or else I wouldn’t have agreed to buy them all with the high price.”

Phantom pouted.
Xia Fei always enjoyed doing this; these fruits were clearly being sold for cheap, yet Xia Fei was still heaping praises, all to make the other party feel as if they had benefited greatly.

“I can’t tell you that, but I can guarantee you that these fruits are all from legitimate sources, so you can rest at ease.”

Xia Fei got to know the young man on their trip, learning that his name was Sun Zhan.
An association specializing in medicine gathering interested Xia Fei greatly.
His speed ability had been stagnating at the Star River rank, and what Xia Fei needed was precisely such high-grade ingredients to rank up.

Besides, even if there were no high-grade ingredients, being able to provide wild White Dews and such fruits over a long time was helpful to Xia Fei as well.

“Is it possible for me to order the medicinal ingredients that I need for the long term—as long as the quality is good and the price is fair, of course,” Xia Fei said.

Sun Zhan shook his head, somewhat embarrassed.
“I’m afraid that’s not possible.
I won’t lie, but we of the Nanming Association have always only gathered medicinal ingredients and brewed medicines; few of us bother to practice martial arts, but my ability is a flame type called Blaze.
It’s a combat ability, and I can’t accept not practicing martial arts with it.
That is why I stole my father’s pass and came here to join The Brotherhood’s Carnival.
These medicinal ingredients that I have now are just what I accumulated daily.
Much higher-grade ingredients will have to go through the association’s storage.”

“This time, I’m just cashing out what I have in hand to buy some equipment that I sorely need; I’m also using this opportunity when many major organizations have gathered to find one who’ll be willing to take me in and teach me some combat skills.
I plan to become a warrior in the future, not a pharmacologist.
Even if you offer me all the money you have, I won’t be willing to return and help gather what you need.
My father’s going to break my legs if he ever learns what I’m about to do.”

Xia Fei nodded.
“So that’s how it is.
While it’s true that there’s plenty of equipment out here in the emporium, I don’t think it will be that simple for you to find some major organization to join.
Many of these large warrior organizations won’t simply recruit anyone off the streets.
One will have to go through selections and tests before they can get accepted.”

Sun Zhan was helpless.
“Even a small organization will do.
It’s fine as long as I can learn martial arts.”

The two continued to chat and soon reached the hotel Sun Zhan was staying in.
He opened the door and invited Xia Fei in.
“Take a seat; I’ll retrieve the fruits right now; they’re stored in a crisper to keep fresh.”

Xia Fei lit a cigarette and looked around the room.
Sun Zhan had quite a lot of luggage, and it seemed that he did not have anything like a spatial ring to store his things, so he would have to carry everything he needed on his back.

That was when Phantom croaked, “Oh, my heavens! That’s a Zephyr—a real one.”

“What?” Xia Fei curiously asked.

Phantom pointed to a dirty pair of boots and said, “Look at the boots’ streamlined design and the carefully arranged function keys on their side.
I dare guarantee that this pair of boots you see is the rumored Zephyr combat boots, the super weapon of any speed ability user.”

“Super weapon?” Xia Fei was startled.
He set his gaze upon that completely muddy pair of boots, and noticed that it was strangely shaped.
They were shaped like slender dolphins and of decent craftsmanship.
Even the buttons were well crafted, with each one placed in the most suitable position, allowing both easy access and them not to get in the way when running at high speed.

The combat boots were covered in mud and had been very casually tossed behind the door.

“What’s so good about these Zephyr combat boots? What has gotten you making such a fuss over it?” Xia Fei asked.

Phantom explained, “They’re not just good—they’re practically great! If you must know, this model of combat boots has been specifically produced for speed ability users, made with the already extinct twin claws soaring dragon leather.
Today, be it the original materials used to craft the Zephyr combat boots or the fact that the skills to do so have already been lost to time, every pair of Zephyr combat boots is universally recognized as a rarity in the vast space.

“Wearing it, your speed will increase by ten percent.” Phantom’s two eyes sparkled as he spoke seriously.
