Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

Chapter 322: Two Coattails

Meng Chao was not interested in the benefits Lu Siya mentioned, but getting to know more important people like Ye Xiaoxing was good.

When he returned to Agricultural University, it was already next morning. The news had already spread out, and the students were talking in the cafeteria.

All they knew was that a major accident had happened in Spirit Creation Creatures’ lab and there might be poisonous biochemicals spilling out, which was why the entire area had been blocked off.

There was no mention of Gao Ye turning into the Ultimate Sandworm.

Meng Chao only cared about burying his head in food. When he heard Xie Feng and the other students who were “up-to-date” with the news ramble on about “insider information” they heard from somewhere, he smiled. He did not have the heart to bring out the truth to boast about it.

Over the next few days, he paid constant attention to news about Spirit Creation Creatures.

From the news, he learned that the research center of Spirit Creation Creatures suffered great damage, and Gao Ye, the person-in-charge of the labs, had unfortunately died in the accident. The construction deal for Subway No.20 would be up for bidding again.

Meng Chao could not help but sigh a little.

Since he had not stopped this in his previous life, Gao Ye’s plan must have succeeded partially.

The construction deal for Subway No.20 would have given Spirit Creation Creatures enough resources for him to fulfill his insane dream and turn into an Ultimate Sandworm that was even more terrifying than the one Meng Chao met earlier. It was the real Supernatural Entity.

If Meng Chao were to be honest with himself, he did not completely disagree with Gao Ye’s beliefs.

The placing of a human’s consciousness eternally in a monster’s shell was definitely a crazy and treasonous thought to the current Dragon Citizens.

But to Meng Chao, who had witnessed the arrival of the Apocalypse, survival was all that mattered. As long as he could continue living, it did not matter how his body looked.

“Live! Continue living! Like a cockroach!”

These were the words that the instructor with the black skull had constantly yelled into his ears in Ghost Tribe’s training camp.

The twenty-year-old Meng Chao might not agree with these words, but the broken soul that returned from the apocalypse had them branded in its broken soul, regardless of whether it was done willingly or not.

Unfortunately…

‘Gao Ye failed in my previous life. No matter how “noble” his ideals were, how “great” his spirit of self-sacrifice, how “amazing” the consciousness transferring technology, he couldn’t bring his ideal to fruition. Normal people and superhumans did not come to live together in harmony and did not conquer the Other World.

‘Instead, he and his comrades kept on stirring internal conflict in Dragon City, which diminished our fighting strength and the Monster War dragged out. Dragon City then walked out of the “rookie village” severely wounded and could not avoid its destruction.

‘Madness wasn’t your problem, Gao Ye. Being weak is your undoing. That’s why I have to stop you!’

Meng Chao looked forward to meeting Ye Xiaoxing again.

When he ran into the abnormal beast research department again, he received a piece of good news… No, more accurately, he received three pieces of good news.

First, his personal tutor, Gu Jianbo, had finally understood a deeper meaning of the Ultimate Style after entering isolated training for half a year and managed to become stronger by reaching Spirit Gaze Realm and becoming a five-star superhuman.

In this life, Gu Jianbo cured his internal injuries in time and Meng Chao had memories from the future to make minor adjustments to the experiment and the steps to practice the Ultimate Style. He had also shared a lot of gene medicine from the abnormal beast research department, which helped Gu Jianbo refine the 1,024 branch meridians in his body and bring out the glory of the Blade Dancer a few years earlier than in Meng Chao’s previous life.

At Spirit Gaze Realm, a superhuman could move their consciousness into their limbs and organs. Then, with an incredibly profound method, they could observe the pulse of their organs and even cells. They could be meticulous and stimulate special cells and nerves to activate unbelievable power.

Once someone became a five-star superhuman, they were considered to be one of the first-class fighters and could start aiming for the peak, where the strongest were.

Based on Meng Chao’s understanding, Gu Jianbo was a true martial arts genius. He would definitely not stay a five-star superhuman for long. In a year and a half’s time at most, he would definitely reach Spirit Armor Realm and become a six-star superhuman. He might even be able to make up for the regrets of his previous life and reach the legendary Deity Realm.

As his officially known eldest disciple, Meng Chao could now be considered to be riding on Gu Jianbo’s golden coattails.

The second piece of good news was that a day before Gu Jianbo emerged from isolated training, Griffin Li Yingzi became a six-star superhuman and turned into an elite at the peak of Heaven Realm.

Li Yingzi’s talent should be just as great as Gu Jianbo’s.

She was an ace lecturer in Agricultural University’s martial arts course, and there was a high possibility that she would take over Black Tortoise Zong Yue’s legacy over the course of the next ten years and become the person who would manage Agricultural University’s martial arts course.

She had fought for some time in the northern offense, so when Meng Chao helped the Red Radiance Jade bring benefits to all the people in the area, Li Yingzi had also obtained her blessing. After she returned to Agricultural University, her beast soul fusion technology started showing signs of reaching perfection, and she soon managed to reach the strongest realm under Deity Realm.

Originally, Griffin Li Yingzi did not have much of a connection to Meng Chao.

There was a period of time when she had a hostile look on her face whenever she saw him because he had publicly refused to come under her tutelage when she offered the chance to him during the freshmen admission course and tricked her into taking off Gu Jianbo’s trousers.

But Meng Chao was the person who had helped her get back together with Gu Jianbo.

The third piece of good news was that both of them had shamelessly gone to the civil registry office to get their marriage certificate after they reached a new realm.

Gu Jianbo and Li Yingzi did not host a grand wedding.

They only invited Black Tortoise, Dean Zong Yue of Agricultural University’s martial arts course, and a few of the lecturers they were close with, and ate a simple meal together.

Among the students, only Meng Chao was invited.

If he had not shamelessly insisted on following Gu Jianbo, it would have been impossible for the Ultimate Style to have become known so swiftly. It would have also been impossible for the pair to have cleared their misunderstandings if he had not used such a brutish method.

When the two of them took the red marriage certificate in their hands, they remembered what Meng Chao had done and found it unbelievable. This kid seemed to have fallen from the heavens to give them a blessing and insisted on getting them back together.

From that day onwards, Meng Chao could openly call Li Yingzi his master’s wife and ride on her coattails in an upright manner.

His personal tutor was a five-star superhuman who led a new trend in the martial arts.

His tutor’s wife was one of the youngest fighters at the peak of Heaven Realm in Dragon City.

Both of them had endless potential and high hopes of reaching Deity Realm.

With these two golden coattails under his feet, Meng Chao felt that aside from the Supernatural Tower and the women’s toilet, he could go wherever he wanted in all of Dragon City. He became even more confident in securing the cooperation with the adjudicator court and the abnormal beast research department.

Some day half a month later, Lu Siya finally obtained information from Ye Xiaoxing regarding the newest development regarding the White Spirit Case and the Spirit Creation Creatures Case. He wanted to talk to Meng Chao.

“I heard that Instructor Ye took the lead and gathered the elites in the abnormal beast research department. He also brought a few of the fighters from society who have amazing skills to form a special operations squad to investigate the White Spirit and Gao Ye,” Lu Siya said. “If you’re really interested in this matter, you must seize this chance.”

Over the half a month, Meng Chao had tried searching for information about the Supernatural Entities online, but he found none.

The progress for the Mystery of the Supernatural Entities was also stuck at 18%.

If there was a special group that could help him solve the Mystery of the Supernatural Entities, it would be a good thing.

But that night, Meng Chao wanted to meet a person in the hospital first.

It was Xie Xiaolei.

When he saw Xie Xiaolei lying in a lavish single ward in the hospital, Meng Chao was shocked.

A month ago, President Xie was still handsome, elegant, and full of high spirits, but now, he looked like a living skeleton who blended with the bed.

Not only did he look withered away, most of his hair had fallen off. He was completely different from the last time Meng Chao had seen him.

Meng Chao was shocked for a long time and did not dare to say anything. ‘When Lu Siya saved Xie Xiaolei, Gao Ye had yet to kill him. He was only a little shocked, so how did he end up like this?’

But he immediately thought about it from another angle. Xie Xiaolei had wanted to use the construction deal of Subway No.20 to reach the peak of his life and was full of high spirits.

However, his partner suddenly became corrupted and turned into a terrifying worm that destroyed the entire research center.

Now, forget about Subway No.20. It was highly likely that he had lost all his other deals as well.

Even if someone else would be willing to work with him, he did not have the core technology in his hands, because he had been focused on operating and promoting the company. He could not just start anew.

To someone as ambitious as Xie Xiaolei, such a heavy blow was the same as falling from heaven to earth

It was no wonder why he looked so dejected and like a walking corpse.

When he saw Meng Chao, Xie Xiaolei forced himself to summon some energy and struggled to sit up on his bed. He said that he had learned from the related departments that Meng Chao had persisted in investigating the whole matter and arrived in time to save him. Because of it, he had even nearly been killed by Gao Ye after he turned into the Ultimate Sandworm.

No amount of money could express his gratitude to Meng Chao for saving his life.

Unfortunately, right now, Spirit Creation Creatures’ reputation was down in the dumps. He was having a hard time protecting even himself. He did not know how he should thank Meng Chao.

He paused for a moment before he asked Meng Chao whether Superstar still intended to work with Spirit Creation Creatures.

Meng Chao said that there was no need for Xie Xiaolei to thank him. He had always been a considerate person who loved contributing to society. He longed to fight against evil forces and save hundreds of innocent citizens, so Xie Xiaolei was just another one of them he saved.

He knew that Gao Ye’s corruption had nothing to do with Xie Xiaolei, so he was naturally willing to continue working with him, but Spirit Creation Creatures had suffered a huge blow and had to face the related departments’ endless investigations. No one knew when they could go back to its business, so how were they even going to begin “working together”?

Xie Xiaolei was silent for a while, and the light of someone struggling to survive shone in his eyes. “Spirit Creation Creatures is going to sell a batch of assets. Would Superstar be interested in buying them?”

“What?” Meng Chao was unable to understand what Xie Xiaolei meant.

“Meng Chao, you’re currently a super freshman from Agricultural University and have great power. You have more connections than many veteran elites who have been working in society for years,” Xie Xiaolei said. “With your current resources, don’t you think that it’s a real waste for you to just purely gather and recover monster materials?

“Why don’t you consider taking in some of Spirit Creation Creatures’ businesses and its research team so Superstar may become a mega corporation that does everything in the monster production chain, including gathering, recovering, researching, and gene editing?”
