Over twenty kilometers southwest of the Yashen Base, in a cave on a small mountain, Xu Tiange leaned back in his chair, humming a tune with pleasure.
His mood had been quite good lately. As a standout among the younger generation of the Xu Family, he had been the first to advance to Alloy Level and had received significant responsibilities from the family. There might even be a chance for him to become the helmsman of the Xu Family in the future.
A few days ago, he had discovered a Mutant Egg, and though it had been snatched up first by a merchant convoy from the Lin Family, he had captured Lin Miao, the owner of the Lin Family merchant convoy. It was almost certain that the Mutant Egg would end up in his hands in the end.
Xu Tiange was no fool; he was well aware of the Lin Family merchant convoy's background and connections.
