Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

"Friend, what is that bone, and why is it so valuable?" Lin Shen asked a werewolf who was also watching the excitement.

The werewolf didn\'t pay any attention to Lin Shen, not even turning his head. That is, until Lin Shen patted him on the shoulder, which instantly enraged the werewolf, causing him to turn and glare at Lin Shen.

However, upon seeing the two Heavenly Currency coins Lin Shen was holding, the werewolf\'s anger turned to laughter. He reached out, took the coins, and said with a smile, "That bone is an incredible item, it\'s a Giant God\'s Bone obtained from the Giant God Mountain."

"Giant God\'s Bone?" Lin Shen felt surprised.

Let alone cosmic species, even back on the Human Mother Planet, not many people believed in gods or ghosts anymore.

Modern humans attributed any strange powers and creatures they came across to higher-order beings, completely discarding the concept of gods and ghosts.

The so-called Giant God\'s Bone, Lin Shen thought, must be the remains left by a race called the Giant God Clan.

However, he hadn\'t heard of any indigenous carbon-based life on the Giant Ring Star, only various Base Variant Creatures.

"Let me tell you, this Giant God\'s Bone is no ordinary thing. What kind of place do you think Giant God Mountain is? Even Nirvana Beings tread carefully when ascending it on foot, not daring to fly.

You know," said the werewolf in a lowered voice, continuing in a whisper that only the two of them could hear, "it is said that inside the main peak of Giant God Mountain, several Giant Gods\' skeletons were uncovered. This bone must be a part of those skeletons. Normally, Giant God\'s Bones should be handed over to the Pioneer Corps.

I have no idea how this vendor managed to get a hold of one to sell so openly in an auction like this – he could be stirring up some serious trouble."

A member of another race, who was nearby, overheard the werewolf\'s words and chuckled, "Do you know who backs this vendor? That\'s Lord An 117\'s brother-in-law. It\'s not just about getting a Giant God\'s Bone – even if he wanted to sell the entire Giant God skeleton, who would dare to do anything to him?"

Only then did Lin Shen come to know that the vendor had such a connection.

Seeing that others knew more than him, the werewolf\'s pride took a hit, and with a snort, he said, "So you think you know a lot? Do you know what the Giant God\'s Bone is used for? Why are so many people eagerly bidding high prices to buy it?"

"I really don\'t know that," the member of another race said, shaking his head.

"I thought you knew so much. It turns out you just know a little gossip—nothing to show off about," the werewolf retorted with a tilt of his snout, proudly saying, "Remember, I\'m telling you, this Giant God\'s Bone has great uses on the Giant God Mountain. If you have just one Giant God\'s Bone, no matter which part of the bone it is, you can move freely on the Giant God Mountain.

No creature on Giant God Mountain would dare to bite you. On Giant God Mountain, this is a life-saving divine artifact. Who in the Pioneer Corps wouldn\'t want to have such a life-saving divine artifact?"

"Pfft!"

The werewolf spoke as if he was an authority on the matter, and Lin Shen was already beginning to believe him, but then someone among the onlookers burst out laughing.

Both the werewolf and Lin Shen turned to see who was laughing, only to find it was a young girl with rabbit ears.

"What are you laughing at, young lady of the Moon Rabbit Clan? What is so funny?" the werewolf asked, drooling at the sight of the Moon Rabbit girl.

The Moon Rabbit girl covered her mouth and said, "Sorry, I really didn\'t mean to. I just couldn\'t help laughing."

"You\'re laughing at what? Is what I said incorrect?" the werewolf, eager to impress the Moon Rabbit girl, asked in a hurry.

"The uses of the Giant God\'s Bone, wouldn\'t you be basing it on hearsay, and perhaps a bit of your own imagination?" the Moon Rabbit girl said with a laugh.

"Hearsay? Then you tell me, what is the Giant God\'s Bone really used for?" the werewolf said, dissatisfied.

The Moon Rabbit girl said, "The Giant God\'s Bone can indeed bring good luck and ward off evil, but it\'s only useful within the Giant God Cemetery. The ones buried there are some ordinary Giant God Clansfolk; usually, there aren\'t any valuable burial goods.

Digging graves there to scavenge for treasures rarely yields anything good; the high ranks of the Pioneer Corps don\'t even care about it, otherwise, the Giant God\'s Bone wouldn\'t have been so easy to obtain."

"Moreover, the Giant God\'s Bone isn\'t as precious as you say. Just dig up one or two graves within the cemetery, and you\'ll always find a few segments that haven\'t completely decayed, though complete ones like this are indeed rare."

Having heard this, Lin Shen finally understood what was going on.

The last time he spoke with Tian Xun, Tian Xun seemed to have mentioned this Giant God Cemetery, but he wasn\'t interested then, so he didn\'t ask further.

Thinking back now, the place Tian Xun and his group went to seemed to be not far from the Giant God Cemetery; it seemed to be called the "Giant God Mausoleum."

"So that\'s the situation. The ones buried in the Giant God Cemetery are all ordinary Giant God Clansfolk, so the ones buried within the Giant God Mausoleum are probably not just any Giant God Clansfolk," Lin Shen thought to himself.

The few bidders had driven the price up to thirty-one thousand, which, for a typical Mutator, was an exorbitant price already.

The competing bidders from other races began to hesitate, seeming to find it hard to increase their bids further.

"Thirty-two thousand," Lin Shen suddenly spoke up, adding a little more to the bid.

He wanted to check out the Giant God Cemetery, who knows what he might dig up.

Tian Xun seemed to have mentioned before that the Pioneer Corps had once excavated a mutated Spirit Base in the Giant God Cemetery.

Although this was just an isolated case, what if he were to be lucky?

With Tian Xun not at home, he couldn\'t possibly run over to ask Tian Xun for the Giant God\'s Bone, and anyway, why owe a favor when you can settle with money?

With Lin Shen\'s new bid, the foreign tribesperson who had offered thirty-one thousand abruptly turned around and glared at him fiercely.

Lin Shen pretended not to see, since in a bidding war, the item naturally goes to the highest bidder; what\'s the use of glaring?

In the end, no one else made a bid, and Lin Shen secured the Giant God\'s Bone for thirty-two thousand.

"Brother, be careful," the werewolf whispered these words, patted Lin Shen\'s shoulder, and then quickly retreated.

Lin Shen approached the vendor and asked, presenting a bag of Ascension Liquid, "You accept Ascension Liquid as payment, right?"

Base Mutation Fluid and Ascension Liquid are both solid currencies, generally acceptable as money.

"Certainly, certainly, but we need to verify its purity first," the vendor said with a beaming smile.

Trading with Ascension Liquid means he could obtain it at a slightly lower rate, turning a profit.

All of Lin Shen\'s Ascension Liquid came from the Supersource Dragon, pure and unadulterated, so naturally, its purity was excellent.

The vendor quoted an exchange rate, just a bit lower than usual, but Lin Shen couldn\'t be bothered to haggle and directly used the Ascension Liquid to pay, retrieving the Giant God\'s Bone in return.
