Chapter 48: Gene Evolution Apparatus (Vote Requested)

  The small grocery store was not big to begin with, and most of the goods were things that Zhang Heng had looted from pirates, ordinary weapons, gold medicine and so on. The prices were lower than those sold in the indigenous shops, although they couldn't make much money, it was better than selling them to those indigenous merchants, and every day they could have tens of thousands of pure income.

  "Returning home to the east, we got a lot of ordinary medicinal materials and seafood, but they were all small and taken away, sold to wine houses and pharmacies, earning a 10% price difference." Xiaobao stood behind Zhang Heng, smiling and saying.

  Zhang Heng nodded in satisfaction. The small grocery store accepted everything and some of the goods collected would be resold to stores run by the indigenous people, earning a little money. This was also one of the benefits of running a store. The indigenous people also had regional divisions, rich and poor divisions, and noble and humble divisions. Many people had to go out hunting, picking seafood, or killing sea pirates to make a living.

  For Zhang Heng, this was a game world, but for those NPCs, this was where they had lived for generations!

  "Not bad, I'll add 500 gold coins to your wages at the end of the month!" Zhang Heng said with a smile.

  "Thanks, Dongjia!" The 500 gold coins may not be a lot, but they made Xiaobao extremely happy, at least on the surface. Xiaobao thought for a moment and said: "Right, boss, last night someone came to sell an item of green auxiliary equipment. Its specific effect was something about helping seeds purify some kind of gene or other, I didn't quite understand it myself. But he wanted 2.5 million gold coins, so I didn't dare make a decision!"

  "Refined gene? High-tech product?" Zhang Heng was taken aback, but the price of 250,000 gold coins was indeed not small, enough to keep a small shop busy for a month's income. After thinking about it, he asked: "What about the person, did they take the thing and leave?"

  Xiao Bao nodded and then shook his head, smiling as he said: "Returning to the East House, the person selling things has indeed left, but that item was left behind by me! I took the liberty of agreeing with him, we can put that item in our store and help him sell it for a few days. If it doesn't sell, we'll return it to him. If it does sell, we'll charge him half the price as rent!"

  Zhang Heng was taken aback. This little treasure actually had a few points of quick wit, and he hastily asked: "Where's that thing? Hurry up and take it out, let me see!"

  "Ah!" Xiaobao responded with a few sounds, quickly taking out a green outfit from the counter and respectfully handing it over to Zhang Heng.

  A metal device the size of two adult fists.

  Gene Evolution Machine: (Green) Can purify, evolve 20% of green species. Ordinary white species 300%. One in ten thousand chance to evolve ordinary white species into green species.

  Green species? White species?

  Isn't it that species are also divided into levels? This is the first time I've heard of it. However, he can be sure that this is a 'high-tech' product. At least higher than the current technological level on Earth. But the price of 250,000 gold coins isn't cheap either, is it worth buying?

  "Master, how should we deal with this thing?" Xiaobao looked at Zhang Heng, frowning and deep in thought, asking softly. This thing, the seller said it was left at a small grocery store for three days, today is the last day, if they can't make up their minds, the owner will come to take it back tonight.

  "Stay behind!" Zhang Heng gritted his teeth, wasn't it just 250,000 gold coins? He couldn't bear to part with the child, but if it could help his development in reality, then everything was worth it.

  "Okay!" Xiaobao smiled and nodded, but immediately said: "If we buy this instrument, the liquidity of our grocery store will not be much, Boss has to think of a way!"

  There were over a million gold coins on Zhang Heng's body, he took out 100,000 and gave it to Xiaobao, letting him be in charge of the daily operation of 'Attracting Wealth and Treasure'. After some thought, he specifically instructed that if someone came to sell special equipment or technology products, if the price was not high, they could directly buy it. If the price was too high and couldn't be decided on their own, they could also leave the item first like today. If the seller was unwilling, they should also take down the other party's address and sales information, then wait for Zhang Heng to return and handle it.

  After handing over Xiaobao, Zhang Heng took the 'Gene Evolution Instrument' and left his small shop.

  Seed store, Zhang Heng was paying attention to such a store for the first time. Seed stores were rare in Zhenhai City, and there was only one in the eastern part of the city. If he hadn't obtained the 'Genetic Evolution Device', he would never have thought of visiting a seed store.

  Peach kernel, a divine object that blooms and bears fruit for 10,000 years. Eating one can extend your lifespan by 3,000 years. Price: 00000...... Looking at the string of zeros behind, Zhang Heng felt his teeth ache.

  Damn it, even if I sell myself, I still can't afford a peach down from others!

  "Welcome!" In the seed store, there was a 16 or 17-year-old girl with a cheerful expression, greeting Zhang Heng: "Customer, what kind of seeds do you want to buy?"

  "What kinds of seeds do you have here?" Zhang Heng asked with a smile.

  "As long as you think of it, our store has everything. If you can't think of it, we have it too. It just depends on what kind of thing the customer wants." The little girl said with a smile and narrowed eyes.

  Zhang Heng rubbed his nose and thought to himself, "How can someone who runs a business be so arrogant? The military merchants have an excuse for speaking in such a tone, but you're just a seed seller, how dare you use this tone? Aren't you afraid of scaring the cows to death?"

  Looking at Zhang Heng's silence, the little girl smiled and asked: "Are you a 'Planter'?"

  "What is a Planter?" Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment. The little girl was also stunned, and then looked at Zhang Heng again from head to toe, suddenly enlightened and laughed: "So you're an outsider, haha, no wonder you don't even know what a planter is! Among the 18 major occupations, the eighth one is indeed a Planter!"

  The 18th profession?

  Zhang Heng really didn't know, looking at the little girl and saying: "Oh, so you're saying that this kind of nursery teacher's profession is very powerful?"

  "Of course, Ling'er is a novice planter, hehe, the vines are entwining!" The little girl threw a black seed from her hand towards Zhang Heng. Instantly, a several-meter-long vine burst out of the ground and wrapped around Zhang Heng, trapping him tightly before he could even react.

  "Don't be afraid, I'm just doing an experiment on you!" Ling'er giggled and winked at Zhang Heng: "I won't hurt you!"

  At this time, a mature woman with a lazy expression on her face walked down the stairs. Her yellow shirt set off her noble temperament. A sly smile spread across her face: "Ling'er, what are you up to again?" As she spoke, an invisible gust of wind sliced through the vines wrapped around Zhang Heng's body, silently cutting them open and scattering them to the ground, withering, before being reabsorbed into the earth as nutrients.

  Ling'er made a cute face at Zhang Heng and giggled as she ran away!

  "Welcome to Plant House!" A mature and beautiful woman walked over, smiling faintly and nodding at Zhang Heng: "I don't know if there's anything I can help you with?"
