One month and two weeks later

Following his daily routine of hunting for four days straight, Bian had spent a total of two hundred thousand. 

Bian Manwei: Not evolved.

Required for evolution: 100 geno points.

Geno points gained: 83.

Beast souls gained: none.

"Maybe basic beasts don't drop beast souls as much as the rest of them." Bian thought to himself as he made his way towards the meeting point.

Bian, Gyu and Zing had made an agreement, the three of them would join the wingsiders a group known for hunting primitive beasts.

Ohn, one of the core members of the group knows Zing and gave them guaranteed entry and now for their first hunt also a trial of sorts.

The white panther looked on in disdain at the three humans approaching its territory. It roared and pounced on them but they quickly evaded. It glanced at them and immediately knew they were weak.

A muscular guy with brown hair used a buckler that looked like a Squirrel's tail coiling inwards. The diameter of the shield was fifty centimeters apart, he held a broadsword in the other hand.

A tall guy with blue hair wore a similar buckler on one hand and held a crossbow in the other.

While an average looking guy with black hair held two pointed spikes in both arms.

These were naturally Gyu, Zing and Bian. Teaming up to hunt the primitive white panther. 

It rushed at Gyu, he blocked with his buckler which slightly cracked and yelled as he swung the huge broadsword with one hand. 

The panther was swift and moved behind Gyu, it dodged a bolt that came uncomfortably close to its eye while staring at Zing with a murderous gaze. It had lost the initiative to counter attack.

Pouncing towards Gyu once more who couldn't completely dodge, he raised his buckler to parry the attack. The buckler broke and the claws of the panther sliced the skin on the forearm. Blood seeped from the injury of his arm but he smiled and tilted his head.

A crossbow bolt penetrated the eye of the panther which went into a frenzy and began to attack indiscriminately. Watching all this from above Bian was waiting for a chance to strike. 

The panther jumped, a bolt darted pass it and struck where it was standing a second ago

'Now!' Bian jumped off the tree and thrust his sai dagger towards the damaged eye of the panther.

The Sai dagger pushed the bolt inwards and damaged the brain of the panther.

"Primitive creature white panther killed. Beast soul of white panther gained. Eat the flesh of white panther to gain zero to ten primitive geno points randomly"

CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!

Ohn and the rest of the wingsiders came out while clapping. Its no exaggeration to say that these three are talented although they barely managed to kill the weakest primitive creature in this forest, they succeeded without a single casualty.

Welcome to the wingsiders they welcomed them, the carcass was shared among the three of them.

The wingsiders dressed the flesh of the panther, smoked it and shared it among them. They all received 10 packs of smoked panther meat, Ohn went on to say "although you might not get geno points from every bite, the meat of a primitive beast will rejuvenate your body."

Bian decided to eat one immediately.

[White panther flesh eaten. Zero geno point gained]

Just like Ohn had said he wouldn't get primitive geno points out of every bite.

*** 

In the mornings Bian would meet up with Gyu and Zing to go hunting. The wingsiders hunted in five-man teams. Although they couldn't contribute much they created diversions and attacked from a distance. The game at the end of every hunt would be shared equally

[Flesh of boa constrictor eaten. One primitive geno point gained]

Every meal got Bian at least one primitive geno point, if he was lucky he might even get three. After one and a half months of hunting with the wingsiders, Bian decided to take a break to prepare for the journey to steel armor shelter.

Bian Manwei: Not evolved.

Status: None.

Life span: 200 years.

Required for evolution: 100 geno points.

Geno points gained: 83 ordinary geno points; 74 primitive geno points.

Beast souls gained: Primitive white panther; Primitive boa constrictor.

Type of primitive boa constrictor beast soul: whip

SIGH

"Now I know what the people of supergene are going through." For ordinary people hunting was too dangerous to be done solo, so they teamed up.

Teaming up also brought its own issues, firstly the meat needs to be shared among the members, secondly only one person can get the beast soul, said person can lie and no one would know if they truly had it or not unless they purposefully summoned it.

After telling Ohn about his departure from the wingsiders, he went to meet the dealer.

"I got the money right here" Bian grumbled which was to be understandable, after all five million levo dollars wasn't a small amount.

Dealer accepted the money and told Bian the location to meet him two weeks later.

"Wait, how long would the journey take?" Bian remembered one crucial detail he didn't ask for last time.

"One month" dealer responded. Looking at the shocked expression on Bian's face, the dealer explained " the merchants are travelling on primitive mounts and have personal business to attend to, their numbers are small so their departure is kept under wraps to prevent freeloaders from following their trail. After all they are using the map provided by the Huangfu family, it's very expensive but the safety is practically guaranteed. This naturally brings about many detours."

After paying the dealer he got easier to talk to. He said his bit and left Bian who was calculating in his head.

'I've spent one month and three weeks in the sanctuaries, after waiting for two weeks and travelling for a month that brings my total time spent in the sanctuaries to three months and one week. Han Sen found the sacred blood beetle after three months in the sanctuaries, I got to get my hands on it no matter what'

Bian could feel his excitement growing, he went back to the alliance and called the Z-steel smith dealer.

"What, you don't want a weapon?" The Z-steel blacksmith was genuinely shocked. What else could someone need Z steel for.

"Yes I need a cage, a small clench that can be opened by screwing and also a high percent Z-steel knife" Bian stated the items he needs. "Can you do it?" He asked.

"Of course" the Smith sneered, "but it will cost you five million dollars since forging cages and clenches isn't exactly my forte."

Bian sent him the dimensions for the cage he needed. It would be a solid cube that could be opened from the outside, completely sound proof and could fit inside a bag.

The clench was really small, the length and height of an average finger. It would open sideways and stay opened.

And finally a fifteen percent Z-steel knife, thin and lethal. It could even deal damage to average sacred blood creatures.

The Smith told him he would need to wait two weeks before they could forge and deliver it. Bian pleaded and the time came down to one week and six days. He would collect it the night before his departure.
