Superbase Evolution

Chapter 311 Fire Cloud Branch

Lin Shen didn't expect that in this foreign land, he could actually see genetically modified eggs with fire.

"Did Ximen Jianke bring this genetic mutation egg from his mother planet, or did he obtain it on the Giant Ring Star? If it was obtained from the Giant Ring Star, does it mean that the alien genetic mutation egg is also blessed by the fire seed?" Lin Shen thought about it and came to Ximen Jianke's stall.

"How was your harvest last time?" Lin Shen greeted with a smile.

"It's okay." Ximen Jianke replied indifferently.

"How much is this?" Seeing that he had no intention of chatting with him, Lin Shen didn't say anything more.

"The egg of the alloy creature, one sky coin." said Ximen Jianke.

Lin Shen took out a heavenly coin and handed it to Ximen Jianke, then put the egg into his backpack.

Lin Shen wanted to leave immediately, but after thinking about it, he squatted down again, looked at Ximen Jianke and asked, "Old Xi, can you teach me your method of using force to release force?"

"I won't teach you." Ximen Jianke said coldly.

"You can exchange." Lin Shen wanted to learn some techniques of unloading and leveraging force. He didn't need to be as proficient as Ximen Jianke, he just needed to learn some more practical techniques.

"I won't teach you." Ximen Jianke glared at him.

"If you don't want to teach me, then I will. Why are you so anxious?" Lin Shen said with a smile, "Where did you get this alloy egg? Is it from the Giant Ring Star, or was it brought from the mother star?"

"Brought from the mother planet." said Ximen Jianke.

Lin Shen was a little disappointed after hearing this. This genetically modified egg was brought from the mother planet, which meant that it might be impossible to find fire on the genetically modified egg on the alien planet.

"The alien Tianxun has fire on his body, so why is there no fire on the genetically modified eggs of the alien planet? I don't believe it." Lin Shen decided to take a closer look. Maybe there is also fire on the genetically modified eggs of the alien planet, but he didn't see it because he didn't see it enough.

After leaving Ximen Jianke’s stall, Lin Shen continued to stroll around the market.

There are quite a lot of people in the market. The pioneering army has been resting these days, so the market is quite lively.

Lin Shen saw many different kinds of genetic mutation eggs, and even saw ascension eggs, but none of them had fire.

Lin Shen was a little disappointed. As he was walking around, the fat boy in his backpack came out and landed in front of a stall next to him, staring at something.

Lin Shen hurried over and picked up Fatty.

Meat is rare in a place like this, and he was afraid that someone would target Fatty.

There are no carbon-based creatures on the giant ring star, so it is very difficult to eat meat. The members of the pioneering army basically rely on base-transforming fluid to sustain life, so they have never eaten meat.

Fortunately, no one noticed Fatty. Lin Shen took a look and found that the owner of the stall looked a bit scary, with a head similar to that of a snake or lizard.

"Friend, do you want to buy something?" The stall owner spoke very kindly, which was not consistent with his appearance.

But when he spoke, his snake-like tongue moved back and forth, which was still a bit scary.

Lin Shen glanced over his stall, wanting to know what attracted Fatty.

The fat boy in his arms was staring at something on the stall, and Lin Shen found it easily. What puzzled Lin Shen was that the thing was neither a genetic mutation egg nor a genetic mutation liquid, nor even something edible, but just a small piece of charcoal-like branch.

"How could a foodie like Fatty be interested in something like this?" Lin Shen was very confused. He squatted down, pointed at the branch and asked the stall owner, "What is this?"

"This is a branch of a tree called the Fire Cloud Tree from my home planet. Although the Fire Cloud Tree is not a genetically modified material, it is very flammable, just like a match. It will catch fire if you rub it on a rock, and can be used as a fire starter. If you are interested, I will sell you this piece of Fire Cloud Branch for only one Sky Coin." said the stall owner.

"It looks black and looks like it's been burned. Has it been used?" Lin Shen said as he looked at the Fire Cloud Branch.

“No, no, the Fire Cloud Branch is originally the color of charcoal. This Fire Cloud Branch has never been used. The reason why it looks like this is because this Fire Cloud Tree was struck by lightning. The outside is charred, but there is no problem inside. If you don’t believe it, you can try it.” The stall owner said, reaching out to pick up the Fire Cloud Branch and rubbing one end on the ground.

It really was like striking a match, the branch scratched across the rock, emitting tiny white sparks, and then the branch burned with white flames.

The stall owner blew at the flame and it was blown out.

"The Fire Cloud Branch can be used repeatedly. This Fire Cloud Branch that has been struck by lightning is more durable. When I left my home planet, I brought it with me for my own use. Now I don't need it, so I took it out to exchange for some money." said the stall owner.

"Okay, I want this Fire Cloud Branch. Do you have any more Fire Cloud Branches? Get me some more." Lin Shen saw that Fatty was staring at the Fire Cloud Branch and knew that he must want this thing.

Although I don't know what it wants the Fire Cloud Branch for, it would be nice to spend a little money to buy it for Fatty if it likes it.

"No more. The fire cloud branches that have been struck by lightning are very burn-resistant and can be used for a very long time. I only brought this piece." The stall owner shook his head repeatedly.

Lin Shen had no choice but to give up, paid the money, picked up the Fire Cloud Branch and left.

Lin Shen put Fatty back into his backpack, and then put the Fire Cloud Branch in it as well.

When Fatty saw the Fire Cloud Branch, he happily picked it up with his mouth and refused to put it down.

Seeing that it was holding the Fire Cloud Branch without moving, Lin Shen ignored it and continued walking around the market.

"I'll offer ten thousand...I'll offer eleven thousand...I'll offer twelve thousand..."

After walking around for a while, Lin Shen noticed that there was a particularly lively atmosphere in front of a stall. Several foreigners were arguing there with their faces red, as if they were competing for something.

The gene in Lin Shen's body that loved to watch the fun awakened, and he leaned over to see what exactly was that was worthy of so many people bidding for it.

More than 10,000 celestial coins is not a small amount. The currency of the Celestial Clan is still quite valuable.

After finally squeezing in, Lin Shen saw that what those people were bidding on was just a bone.

"Are these foreigners all born in the year of the dog? Why would they spend such a huge amount of money to buy a bone?" Lin Shen was puzzled.

The bone was obviously not made of base material, but just an ordinary large bone, like the leg bone of a cow or horse, more than one foot long, thick at both ends and thin in the middle.

The thick part is as big as a fist, and the thin part is only as big as a fist.

I don’t know if the bones have been stored for too long or have been touched too much by people, but they have become patinated.

Lin Shen looked at it again and again, but still couldn't figure out what kind of creature the bone belonged to, nor did he understand why these people would pay a high price to buy it.
