My Genes Can Evolve Limitlessly - Chapter 55
Chapter 55: Sandstone City
Sandstone City, outside the city gates.
Lu Yuan and the others entered the city gate under the gaze of two five-meter-tall yellowish-brown rock structures.
Looking at the yellow buildings in the city, Zhuo Ming let out a breath and smiled,”
“We’re finally back. I was so scared on the way back. ”
The golden-haired youth nodded and said,”
“I didn’t expect that there would be so many people staring at the genetic warriors that came out of the trial.”
“That’s for sure. Everyone knows that there are a lot of treasures in the remains. Which warrior who passed the trials in the remains didn’t have a lot of gains? If they kill them, they’d be able to get the rewards. There will definitely be people willing to help, especially the hunters. ”
The others nodded in agreement.
“It’s all thanks to our numbers and Mr. Liu’s presence. Otherwise, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have been able to clear the underground palace. ”
Grimm said with a smile.
“Of course!” Liu Xi also smiled. “In the Sandstone City Region, I, Liu Xi, still have some say.”
He turned to look at Lu Yuan. “Brother Lu Yuan, we’re in the city. I still need to go back to the Tianfu Financial group’s residence to deal with some matters. I can’t accompany you. If you need anything, you can come to our encampment. Our station is located in the residential area A042. You’ll be able to find it easily if you go to the residential area. ”
“Yes,” Lu Yuan nodded with a smile. “I will.”
Liu Xi left with his team.
As he watched Liu Xi’s back as he left, Zhuo Ming clicked his tongue and said enviously,”
“An A-Class residential area … As expected of the Tianfu Financial Group, they’re doing too well in Sandstone City. They’re too rich. ”
The others also nodded in agreement.
Grimm laughed and said,”
“They’re a big Financial Group, after all. They’re different from us.”
“What?” Lu Yuan asked doubtfully, “are there levels in residential areas?”
Grimm and the others were stunned.
“Brother Yuan, don’t you know? Have you never been to the residential area?”
Lu Yuan smiled. “I only stayed in Sandrock City for a few hours when I first came in. I haven’t been back since.”
“Hiss …”
Everyone, including Grimm, had their eyes wide open.
“Lu Yuan, you’ve been in the land of origin for more than a month since you awakened, right? He never came back? You’ve been living in the wild?”
Grimm was shocked.
“Is there a problem?”
Lu Yuan was stunned. He had always thought that everyone was like this.
But now, it didn’t seem like it.
“I don’t know.” Grimm shook his head with a bitter smile. “I finally know why you can improve so quickly. Talent is one thing. This kind of terrifying tenacity is not something that everyone can have. Most people would be tired after staying in the wilderness for a while and would come back to recuperate. I’m not like you, who never returned. ”
Zhuo Ming was also speechless,”
“Brother Yuan, don’t you need to rest after you’re tired? Don’t you need to sleep? Is he still a human?”
“What do you mean by not human? Who said I don’t rest? I’ve even prepared a tent and sleeping bags. ”
Everyone was speechless.
“Even if we spend the night in the wild as a team, we have to split up the night watch.” The blonde youth smiled bitterly. “Brother Yuan, aren’t you afraid of danger when you’re alone?”
Lu Yuan laughed. “Maybe I’m too careless. I’m also quite lucky. I’ve never encountered any threats.”
Lu Yuan naturally wouldn’t say that even when he was sleeping, he would still turn on the body of black iron.
“I really can’t compare,” Grimm shook his head. Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Lu Yuan, didn’t you ask about the difference between residential areas? The residential areas in the city were also divided into different levels. The lowest grade of D-grade residence is to share a room with another person, with one person having one room. C-grade residence is a single or multiple person suite, B-grade residence is a townhouse, and A-grade residence was a small manor with a courtyard. The more advanced the grades were, the more luxurious they were, and of course, the more expensive they were. The C-grade rooms cost 30 crystals per day, and A-grade rooms might cost hundreds or even thousands of crystals per day. The base of big powers are usually under long term rent. How many crystals do you think it will cost?”
Hearing Grimm’s words, Lu Yuan revealed a look of realization.
No wonder Grimm and the others were so envious.
According to this calculation, wouldn’t the rent for a residence in the Tianfu Financial Group cost hundreds or thousands of crystals a day?
That was almost half of his current daily income!
“He’s really rich. ”
Lu Yuan could not help but sigh.
“Yeah?”
Zhuo Ming nodded, then looked at Lu Yuan.
“Brother Yuan, you also earn a lot of spirit crystals every day, so you’re also a rich man. There are still many things in Sandrock city that required spirit crystals. Without spirit crystals, it’s hard to go around. ”
Zhuo Ming sighed and shook his head.
Zhuo Ming might have lived a good life in real life, but he was a pauper in the Land of Origin.
Grimm smiled and said,
“In this Sandstone City, residential areas, dueling arenas, bars, and the like are all big spenders.”
“Bars?”
“There’s a bar here?” Lu Yuan was stunned.
“Of course there is. Genetic warriors are all tensed up after killing in the wilderness. After returning, they naturally need to relax, drink, and chat. Naturally, there are bars. ”
Zhuo Ming’s face revealed an ambiguous smile. “Usually, powerful and handsome men are very popular in bars. Brother Yuan, after you go, there will definitely be many beautiful young ladies who will like you.”
Lu Yuan rolled his eyes and said righteously,”
“Zhuo Ming, what are you thinking? I, Lu Yuan, am not that kind of person!”
Are there any Catwoman and elf ladies there?

Lu Yuan felt that he had to find time to criticize it.
“Right, what is that dueling ground?”
“Dueling ground … Is the place where genetic warriors fight. They can not fight in Sandrock city, or they would be killed by the constructs. The only place that could be used for battle was the dueling ground. The battles in there were usually wagers. Even if one died in the duel space, they wouldn’t really die, and they wouldn’t leave the Land of Origin. That’s why many powerful warriors like to hang around there. ”
“There’s such a place?”
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows, a little interested.
Although he was powerful, most of his combat experience was from fighting fierce beasts.
Actually, Lu Yuan did not have much combat experience with genetic warriors.
If he had the chance, he could go and take a look.
“Lu Yuan, we’re a little tired from this legacy site trial. We’re planning to go to the residential area to rest. Do you want to come with us?”
Grimm asked with a smile.
“I don’t know.” Lu Yuan shook his head. “I’ll walk around by myself.”
“That’s good. If there’s anything you need, you can contact us … Oh, right, you’d better buy a communication crystal so that you can contact people in Sandstone City. It’s not expensive, and you can find it in many shops in Sandstone City. ”
Lu Yuan then remembered that he did need to buy this thing.
“I understand,” he nodded.
Grimm and the others also bid farewell to Lu Yuan, leaving him alone.
Lu Yuan looked around and randomly chose a direction to walk in.
The last time he had been in Sandrock city was when he had just entered the origin source grounds.
At that time, he could only stay in there for 24 hours. Time was tight, so he did not waste any time. His understanding of Sandstone City was also superficial.
Now that he had time, he could take a closer look at this place.
The street was very wide, at least fifty meters wide, and there were five-meter-tall giant rock constructs patrolling on both sides.
There were many genetic warriors walking on the streets.
On both sides of the street were shops.
There were shops that sold potions, geno weapons, general goods, and equipment repair.
These shops were not small.
There were also many genetic warriors entering and leaving.
The staff inside were not genetic warriors but rock constructs.
However, unlike the patrolling giant rock golems, the shopkeeper golems were about 1.8 meters tall.
Lu Yuan went to the shop to take a look out of curiosity.
The potions, materials, and geno weapons were all more expensive than the market price.
For example, the normal healing potions cost 60 crystals a bottle.
In the outside world, the price was 8000 maple coins. Even if the exchange rate between spirit crystals and maple coins was the lowest, 150, it would still cost 9000 maple coins.
This was a difference of 1000. If the highest ratio of 200 was used to calculate, the difference would be even greater.
The price-performance ratio was not high.
It was the same for the other goods.
However, even so, there were still many people who came to buy.
After all, no one knew if the potions would run out. Since they couldn’t be replenished in the outside world, they could only buy them here.
Lu Yuan bought a communication crystal at the grocery store and spent 200 crystals.
He also bought some stuff like a light stick for lighting, which cost him 1000 crystals in total.
For Lu Yuan’s current savings, it was just a drizzle.
After that, Lu Yuan remembered that his heavy sword needed to be repaired.
During the trial, his heavy sword had almost been destroyed in the battle with the black stone golem.
Lu Yuan went to the geno weapon shop.
The shop was around four hundred square meters, and there were many geno weapons on the wall. There were swords, greatswords, axes, warhammers, armors, and more.
At this moment, many genetic warriors were looking at the products.
After Lu Yuan entered, he found the construct behind the counter.
The construct looked at Lu Yuan, and its hoarse mechanical voice sounded,
“Welcome, human. Would you like to buy, repair, or sell your equipment?”
“I want to repair my equipment.”
“Please go to the back door to repair your equipment.”
The construct pointed at the door at the side.
Lu Yuan nodded and walked in.
The room behind the door was even larger. There was a refining table with flames burning fiercely. The temperature was so high that Lu Yuan felt a little breathless.
The constructs were holding iron hammers, and they were hammering their geno armaments.
“Human, do you need to repair your equipment?”
A construct standing not far away from the door looked at Lu Yuan, its voice mechanical and cold.
Lu Yuan nodded.
“Please take out your equipment.”
Lu Yuan took out the beetle claw sword with a broken blade.
The construct’s khaki eyes flashed with light, and white rays landed on the beetle’s claw epee. Then, it said,
“This is an elite-grade weapon. The damage is medium. The repair fee is 500 crystals.”
Upon hearing the construct’s words, a few genetic warriors who were repairing their equipment couldn’t help but look over.
All of them sized Lu Yuan up, their eyes flashing.
Elite grade equipment was also a very valuable item in Sandstone City.
“So expensive?” Lu Yuan’s mouth twitched.
The repair fee was enough to buy an ordinary geno weapon.
The construct looked at Lu Yuan and did not speak.
Although these constructs had high intelligence, they didn’t have the ability to bargain.
Lu Yuan had wanted to try bargaining with the staff construct in the pharmacy, but the construct just stared at him and didn’t speak.
It made Lu Yuan, who had always wanted to lower the price, look like a fool.
This construct was the same.
Lu Yuan’s mouth twitched and he said,
“Alright,” he said.
He took out 500 crystals and handed them to the construct.
The construct took the spirit crystal and disappeared without any movement.
“The repair time will be 16 hours. Please wait patiently.”
Then, he left with Lu Yuan’s heavy sword.
Lu Yuan was not worried about the construct running away.
This was a construct that came from the Land of Origin. They did not seem to be normal life forms, and all of them had their own missions.
The mission of this construct was to repair equipment.
He had to wait for 16 hours, so he wouldn’t be able to get any equipment in a short time.
Lu Yuan planned to walk around first.
He went to the repair room and started to shop.
Most of the geno armors in the shop were normal.
However, Lu Yuan also saw excellent grade equipment.
For example, an elite staff that could increase one’s spirit and the power of one’s flame techniques.
It would cost 10000 crystals.
If it was sold outside, it would cost 1.5 million maple coins!
“It’s so expensive. I think it’ll take me four days to get so many crystals.”
Lu Yuan could not help but sigh.
