The middle-aged man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks smiled and said, "We've arrived."
"Mm." Xia Luoxue nodded.
He swiftly transferred 0.5 energy points to the middle-aged man with the pointed face and monkey-like features.
The middle-aged man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks smiled and said, "Thank you, beautiful lady, you are so generous."
Xia Luoxue said, "You wait outside. We might need your help later. Also, I believe you're a smart person, so don't try anything funny. If you can guarantee our safety in the city, I'll pay you extra."
The middle-aged man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks was overjoyed, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth: "Beautiful lady, don't worry, since you say so, I will definitely do my best. By the way, let's exchange bracelet numbers."
"Um."
Xia Luoxue and the middle-aged man with the pointed mouth and monkey-like face fiddled with the bracelet for a few seconds, finishing quickly.
Ji Xian could tell that this was the same as adding each other on WeChat.
Xia Luoxue, carrying a backpack, entered the general store with Ji Xian.
Ji Xian's hiking backpack was empty, so Xia Luoxue put it on the motorcycle and now only carried her own backpack, making it much easier for her to walk and allowing her to help Ji Xian along.
The store inside looked much bigger than it did from the outside.
Five or six rows of shelves are arranged in the store, filled with all sorts of miscellaneous goods.
There were books, electronic devices, unidentified parts, daily necessities, and even medical equipment and medicines.
Ji Xian frowned as he looked at it.
There was oil stains in the places where the parts were stored, and medical equipment and medicines were not far away.
Ji Xian was a little angry and lowered his voice, saying, "Don't you have any common sense about hygiene in a place like this?"
Xia Luoxue smiled bitterly: "Hygiene common sense will be hard to achieve after the apocalypse. No matter how well it is done, any medicine will be contaminated when a radiation dust storm comes. So, people will gradually stop caring about hygiene common sense."
"Radiation dust storm, what is that?" Ji Xian asked in confusion.
"Radiation dust storms are a unique weather phenomenon after the apocalypse. They can't be explained in a short time. I'll explain them to you slowly when I have time."
Ji Xian didn't ask any further questions; the most important thing now was to buy the gene enhancement drug.
When Ji Xian reached the counter of the general store, he was surprised again.
An elderly man with half-gray hair sat behind the counter.
Behind the old man, a whole wall of shelves was neatly arranged with guns of various sizes.
And on both sides of the counter.
Each of them was equipped with an auto-aiming machine gun.
As soon as Ji Xian entered the store, the machine gun barrels were pointed at Ji Xian and Xia Luoxue.
As the two of them moved, the machine gun automatically adjusted its aim, keeping the muzzle pointed at Ji Xian and Xia Luoxue at all times.
Ji Xian was both shocked and furious. This place actually sold weapons; it was truly a general store, and a really eclectic one at that.
But what's with the machine gun automatically targeting customers?
Would anyone dare to patronize this store after this?
However, Xia Luoxue seemed unsurprised and said, "I want a low-level gene enhancement potion."
The old man casually took a medicine box from under the counter: "50 energy points."
Ji Xian asked Xia Luoxue, puzzled, "With only 50 energy points, why buy a low-level gene enhancement potion instead of a high-level one?"
Charlotte explained:
"Many doses of gene enhancement drugs can be used. In theory, each dose can enhance the body to some extent. However, in reality, the human body has its limits. Once the limit is reached, using gene enhancement drugs will have almost no effect."
"The number of times gene enhancement drugs can be used varies from person to person. Some people can enhance their genes ten times, while others can only enhance them two or three times."
"But there are techniques to using more gene-enhancing drugs."
"You can start with the lowest level gene enhancement drug. Once you reach the maximum number of uses, you can switch to the intermediate level gene enhancement drug, which will increase the maximum number of uses a few more times. Then, switch to the advanced level gene enhancement drug."
"Through this process, your body can be strengthened to a very, very high level."
"Of course, this enhancement method is the most expensive, and most people would not choose this method. Only wealthy people who are not particularly rich would choose to use advanced gene enhancement drugs directly."
"However, since you have money, I'll consider your situation and use the most expensive method."
Ji Xian easily understood Xia Luoxue's words, and he also agreed with the method Xia Luoxue recommended.
Money is worthless, I can earn more when I run out, but health is the most important thing. Ji Xian also wants to strengthen his body to an extremely high level.
Xia Luoxue paid the energy points, and Ji Xian received the gene enhancement drug.
The gene-enhancing drug was an auto-injector. After glancing at the instructions, Ji Xian figured it didn't matter whether it was injected into a vein or an artery, so he simply closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and injected himself directly into his arm.
After the injection, Ji Xian quickly felt better and felt much more comfortable.
Ji Xian asked, "Have you ever used gene enhancement drugs before?"
Charlotte replied, "I used a low-level gene-enhancing drug when I was a child."
"Oh." No wonder Ji Xian felt that Xia Luoxue seemed more powerful than the average person; it turned out she had used gene enhancement drugs. Ji Xian then asked, "Do you know the maximum number of low-level drugs you can use?"
Xia Luoxue shook her head and said, "I don't know. I should be able to use it five or six times. I don't think I'm the kind of weakling who can only use two or three, but I'm definitely not the kind of strongman who can use ten."
Ji Xian nodded and said, "Then let's buy ten low-level gene enhancement potions first."
Xia Luoxue exclaimed, "I suggest you buy less. You might not be able to use ten tubes, so buying more would be a waste."
