475: Chapter 475 Starry Night Chapter 17

As night approached, An Yueshan finally returned.

"Hahaha, Brother Ning, my apologies. I had to handle some matters at the black market, so I'm a bit late."

"It's fine."

An Yueshan walked over, and a bottle of serum suddenly appeared in his hand. "Brother Ning, this is the Level Four Gene Serum, an official authentic product. Take it as soon as possible, and don't tell anyone else. Otherwise, if word gets out, it will attract many desperate criminals. After all, this item is worth over 1,500 Gold Yuan in the black market!"

"I will."

"Hehe, actually, after Brother Ning takes this, I have another matter to ask for your help with."

"What is it?"

An Yueshan took out his phone, opened the album, and tapped on a photo. "Kill this person. He is a Level Four Mutant whose ability is diamond-body transformation. His combat power is very strong. I've recently established the foundation of the Dawn Society and need to seize some territory. This Diamond Old Five must die."

"Where is he?"

For others, that full-body diamond transformation would be extremely troublesome, but for Ning Yuan, it was completely useless.

Killing him would be easy.

"In a month, he will be trading a batch of supplies with people from the Inner City in Black Rose Alley."

"I know."

Ning Yuan took the item and left. He had long anticipated such things; the development of a faction meant competing for resources, and competing for resources naturally involved bloodshed.

"Diamond Old Five, huh."

Finding a secluded place, he went to a district next to his and drank the gene serum directly.

His body felt slightly swollen and painful, but that was all.

Half a month later, Ning Yuan woke up.

"So this is a Level Four Limit Warrior? Truly powerful."

One hundred times the physique, and the strength was even more terrifying.

Coupled with his Talent, he undoubtedly had the power to protect himself. As long as it wasn't a Level Five Talent User, he had the strength to contend with them.

Carrying his money, he arrived at Tianrong Residential Quarter and purchased a 120-square-meter apartment on the first floor, which also came with a free yard.

Here, the lower the floor, the lower the price of the house.

So, even though it was already renovated and fully furnished, it only cost forty Gold Yuan.

The rest of the time, he calmly meditated and cultivated at home. When the day to kill Diamond Old Five arrived, Ning Yuan finally left his home and headed towards Black Rose Alley.

"Diamond Old Five, here is this shipment of goods."

"Why is it so much more expensive?"

"Hehe, recently, because of the azure ancient tree and the strange beast incident, things have been in an uproar, and the price of this item has naturally risen as well. We are old partners; would I lie to you?"

"Fine, here is the money for this time."

The man opposite him counted the Gold Yuan and nodded in satisfaction.

"Then I wish you smooth sailing, Diamond Old Five. We're leaving."

Diamond Old Five grabbed the box. Inside were gene serums. They in the Outer City naturally didn't have the capability to develop gene serums, but the demand was huge, so they naturally had to source them from people in the Inner City.

"Damn, a bottle of Level One Gene Serum went up by another thousand. Damn it, when I get back, I'm raising the price by two thousand and selling it for fifteen thousand!"

Suddenly, he felt an extreme sense of danger! He rolled his body to the side, but the long spear still struck him!

At Level Four, ordinary firearms and ammunition were useless; cold weapons were the only real truth.

"Who! Who dares to rob my, Diamond Old Five's, goods!"

That Diamond Old Five instantly transformed his body into diamond and raised his fist, smashing it toward the figure.

Ning Yuan twisted the spear shaft and thrust it toward the opponent's chest again.

"Hahaha, trash! With this thin toothpick of yours, you want to break my defense!"

Diamond Old Five laughed loudly, not dodging at all.

Indeed, the long spear landed on him, only cracking a few fissures.

But Diamond Old Five's expression grew a bit solemn. "Hehe, Limit Warrior, tell me, who sent you? As long as you tell me, this box of serums worth 300 Gold Yuan is yours."

Ning Yuan said in a hoarse voice, "No need, it will be mine soon anyway, because you are going to die."

Diamond Old Five frowned. "Hmph, seeking death. Do you really think a Limit Warrior can do anything to me!"

He wanted to attack again, but suddenly felt a heat inside his body, and then the heat became more intense; his internal organs felt like they were being scorched.

"What's going on? What did you do to me!"

"So hot! This, this fire, you are a Talent User!"

"No, don't kill me. As long as you don't kill me, I'm willing to do anything. I can be your dog. I manage many people and earn a lot of money every year. I'll give it all to you, I'll give..."

"Ahhh!"

Diamond Old Five on the ground was burned to death.

Burned to ashes, only an empty shell remained—an empty diamond shell.

Ning Yuan walked to the box, opened it, and saw three hundred bottles of Level One Gene Serum neatly arranged.

Even at market price, that was a huge sum of 300 Gold Yuan.

He stored the items into his shelter item, looked at the diamond shell on the ground, smashed it, put it in a sack, and brought it back to Happiness Grocery Store.

"Killed him. Is there anyone else who needs to be dealt with?"

An Yueshan opened it and saw a pile of broken diamonds. He clicked his tongue. "As expected of a Talent User."

"None left. For a long time to come, there won't be any problems. By the way, this is our Dawn Society identity token. Now, in this A06 District underground black market, we have quite a reputation. Having eaten this fat piece of meat, we occupy almost one-third of the black market's gene serum share. This is the elder token of our Dawn Society. Currently, we four are the elders."

"Mm, I understand. If there is anyone who needs to be dealt with, just tell me. As long as they aren't Level Five, it's not much of a problem."

"Hahaha, this is the day I've been waiting for, Brother Ning!"

In the following days, Ning Yuan did not go out hunting anymore. He kept a low profile in Tianrong Residential Quarter, meditating and cultivating all day long. Coupled with the meditation stones An Yueshan got from time to time, his progress was rapid.

Originally, meditating for twelve hours a day would take about three years to break through to Level Three, but now it would take at most two years, or even less.

He didn't need to save money to buy serums, freeing up a lot of time to focus on meditation.

The Dawn Society also developed rapidly in the underground black market. In just half a year, they had completely established a foothold.

Another year passed.

Ning Yuan came out of Tianrong Residential Quarter, preparing to go to the underground black market to deal with someone.

A Level Four Mutant who controlled the ability of sound, killing invisibly; people called him the Sound Devil.

Unfortunately, this kind of physical ability was ineffective against a Talent User, provided they protected themselves with extraordinary power.

At this time, Ning Yuan was only one step away from becoming a Third-Rank Talent Holder.

There were many entrances to the underground black market, and as one of the three major forces in the A06 District underground black market, the Dawn Society naturally had its own entrances, and more than one.

Inside the Happiness Grocery Store, there was a passage exclusive to the four of them.

Walking down the stairs for dozens of meters, then following a two-meter-wide tunnel for about three hundred meters, Ning Yuan appeared in a place full of chaos and grotesquerie.

Mutants unscrupulously displayed their limbs, semi-deformed Gene Warriors exposed the tumors and tentacles on their bodies, and mechanical modifiers walked by, their joints making clicking sounds, while some older ones had the roar of engines on their bodies.

The air was filled with an indescribable odor.
