Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

Chapter 445: Unmarked, Developing Land Soil

The manager of the base and the two superhumans at the peak of Earth Realm had never seen a hunter harvesting a monster on the spot.

In truth, while the forward operating base was modifying the environment, they were also in charge of killing the monsters in the area and harvesting monster materials. There were plenty of experienced harvesters in the base.

When the two superhumans at the peak of Earth Realm entered deep into the wild to kill monsters, sometimes, time would not wait for the harvesters to arrive, so they had to personally handle the materials.

But even if the trio’s accumulative hunting experience nearly amounted to one hundred years, they had never seen anyone being able to reassemble the bones of a Tyrant Mammoth into a skeleton specimen after peeling off all the flesh and organs!

All of the Tyrant Mammoth’s bones were stripped off clean, and they were like crystalline white jades. Not a single piece of flesh or crack could be seen on them.

Even the cervical vertebrae that had been cut by the saber had been carefully fitted back together.

Such exquisite skill could be described with one word—perfection.

Their nostrils flared, and they smelled a strange scent.

They looked in the direction of the scent and saw a brownish-yellow substance with a diameter of nearly half a meter.

It was a stone containing great spirit energy, which was unique to the Tyrant Mammoth. It was just like the stones in the gallbladders of bulls, the sediment in dog kidneys, moschus secretion, and ambergris. It was a treasure that cost cities and the source of strength for a Tyrant Mammoth.

It contained peerless energy, but once a Tyrant Mammoth died, the spirit energy in it easily went out of control, so it usually turned into a really unstable ticking time bomb.

A normal harvester would seek for stability when they handled a dangerous, high-energy material like this. They would use unique methods to crush the stone and pick it out one small piece at a time.

Even though the quality would drop, at the very least, they could quickly toss the pieces into mithril-based stabilizing liquid to keep them safe and avoid any tragedy caused by explosions.

But Meng Chao was skilled and bold. He brought out the uneven stone fully and did not knock into it even in the slightest.

The manager of the base and the two superhumans at the peak of Earth Realm were both veterans in their field, but they had never seen or heard about such a huge Tyrant Mammoth stone before.

They were shocked and full of admiration. They became even more certain that this had to be a solo hunter who had been hunting in the fog for years. Without decades of experience, it was impossible for anyone to be able to harvest a Tyrant Mammoth with such familiar motions.

The manager of the base cleared his throat and was about to go forward to express his heartfelt gratitude and respect when Meng Chao recognized him. He grinned and said, “Manager Jiang, so you work here?”

The far too-young and familiar voice stunned Manager Jiang of Soaring Dragon Constructions, then his went wide. He did his best to identify the “master” before him, and as he continued staring, his eyes widened even further. He was dumbfounded for a full half a minute before he blurted out, “Cl-Club Leader Meng?”

“Haha… I look like a mess, so you couldn’t recognize me, right?”

Meng Chao was in a good mood after harvesting a supreme-grade Tyrant Mammoth stone that weighed more than one hundred kilograms. He pressed his fingers together, and a gush of spirit flames surged out of the edges of his palm. With his hand as a knife, he cut off his wild beard and grabbed a Tyrant Mammoth tendon to make it into a ribbon to tie his messy hair into a casual ponytail. It made him feel refreshed, and he grinned at the trio again.

Manager Jiang was a familiar person. He was a member of the Broken Star Club.

The club had more than two hundred thousand members now, so logically, it was impossible for Meng Chao to remember everyone.

But Manager Jiang’s situation was a little unique.

He did not end up as a broken-star superhuman because he burned his main meridians when he awakened to supernatural abilities.

Instead, he had climbed to the peak of Earth Realm seven years ago. But four years later, when he tried to reach Heaven Realm, something went wrong, and he burned twenty-eight of his main meridians, so he went back to being a two-star superhuman.

When he heard that the Broken Star Club had a method to cure withered main meridians, he came over, with hope that there was a chance of him reaching Heaven Realm again.

Meng Chao had discussed it with Gu Jianbo before.

Aside from a large number of poor children summoning too much power when they awakened to supernatural powers and turning into broken-star superhumans, there were also many veteran superhumans who burned their main meridians and lost their cultivation realms as they fought fiercely or were working on overcoming important walls in their cultivation.

If the Ultimate Style could help the former regain the possibility of cultivating and help the latter return to their peak, it would be a great benefit to both the development of the Ultimate Style and the increase of overall strength of all Dragon City.

Hence, they regarded Manager Jiang’s case with great importance. They spoke to each other a few times and even set up a few types of gene medicine based on Manager Jiang’s physiological parameters and spirit meridian distribution.

Even though they could not help Manager Jiang reach Heaven Realm, they did help him repair around five of his main meridians, and he saw hope in returning to the peak of Earth Realm.

Manager Jiang was forty-seven years old. He had fought for most of his life, and his entire body was covered in injuries. He had long since gotten rid of his hope of climbing further up the cultivation realm. He had gone to Meng Chao and Gu Jianbo for help as a last resort and did not really expect that he could restore his main meridians, so he was naturally grateful to them for what they did.

When he saw that the mysterious master was Meng Chao, Manager Jiang was delighted. The shock in his heart also increased by ten times.

He knew very clearly that Meng Chao had reached Heaven Realm just a few months ago, so he should be a four-star superhuman right now.

The Tyrant Mammoth was a real Grade Six Hell Beast.

Besides, there were also plenty of other rampaging Demonic Halberd Pigs, Iron-armored Rhinoceroses, and Bloody Hippopotamuses around in the fight.

Was it that easy for youngsters nowadays to fight monsters and become stronger?

The two superhumans at the peak of Earth Realm also figured out Meng Chao’s identity through their conversation.

Meng Chao was a rather famous person in Dragon City. There was plenty of information regarding his deeds circulating around the social media platforms and monster forums.

The two superhumans at the peak of Earth Realm knew that Meng Chao was one of the youngest Heaven Realm elites in Dragon City. They originally looked at this with a disapproving mindset and had the same thoughts as the main opinion online. They believed that haste did not always bring good results, and if Meng Chao rose up the cultivation realms so quickly, his foundation was definitely unstable.

They even believed that all he had was strength but lacked practical fighting experience. All he did was down gene medicine and high-calorie nutritional fluid like it was water to reach Heaven Realm.

No matter how great his parameters were on paper, when he reached the hell that was the wild and was surrounded by danger, his true power would be revealed.

He would not be like them. Even though they only managed to reach the peak of Earth Realm in their early forties, they were experienced and did solid work to get to their current state!

But the true Meng Chao crushed the fake image they had of him in their minds to dust.

Both of them instinctively recalled how Meng Chao had glared at the Tyrant Mammoth before he delivered that fatal slash.

Even though Meng Chao’s Fear Bomb was targeted solely on the Tyrant Mammoth, his brain waves had spread in all directions, and it still caused them to feel shock and fear, as if they were facing the apocalypse.

‘No way, are you serious? Can a Heaven Realm superhuman in his twenties really be so strong?’

‘He’s just a four-star superhuman, and he managed to kill a Grade Six Hell Beast. When he becomes a five-star superhuman or six-star superhuman, doesn’t that mean he’ll actually have the courage to challenge Apocalyptic Beasts alone?’

‘I originally thought that the club leader of the Broken Star Club was just doing a publicity stunt, that Agricultural University’s martial arts course and the other factions of power were just creating a celebrity with a huge fan base. I didn’t expect that the real deal would be so terrifying!’

The two superhumans at the peak of Earth Realm looked at each other and gulped. They were now absolutely impressed with Meng Chao and treated him at the same level as a master like Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu.

No, perhaps he was even more terrifying than Luo Wu.

At the very least, when Master Luo Wu was in his twenties, he could not challenge a Tyrant Mammoth alone.

Since he was familiar with the manager and the manager was so friendly that Meng Chaoo actually felt embarrassed, it made the subsequent matters easy to handle.

Since Meng Chao had killed the Tyrant Mammoth alone, all the materials naturally belonged to him. All that he needed to do was just hand in some hunting tax when he registered his kill at the Supernatural Tower later.

As for the hundreds of normal monsters, they were hunted or captured by Manager Jiang and his staff. Logically speaking, there was no need for them to split them with Meng Chao.

But Manager Jiang was really good at getting along with people. He said that if Meng Chao were not around, all the people in the base would have died, so they could not say that they hunted these monsters.

He insisted on paying Meng Chao based on the value of all the monsters.

Meng Chao did his best to refuse it, but in the end, they split the spoils in half, and everyone was happy.

Manager Jiang used the chance to represent Soaring Dragon Constructions and invite Meng Chao to the base as a guest. He said that he had already requested for reinforcements from the rear, and the higher-ups of Soaring Dragon Construction would soon receive the news. He believed that they would definitely be very grateful toward Meng Chao for helping them.

Meng Chao was naturally not against coming into contact with Soaring Dragon Construction.

But he thought about it and expressed that he wanted to survey the perimeter first to see whether any monster had slipped from their grasp and would pose a threat to humans.

It had to be known that if a monster horde appeared, it meant that there was an imbalance in the ecosystem of the area. Many of the monsters who were originally the tyrants had fled hastily because of their fear of the Tyrant Mammoth, but who knew where they had fled as well as whether they would descend into a rampage and hurt others out of desperation?

“Manager Jiang, do you have any inspection squads from your base outside? Can you contact them?” Meng Chao asked.

“No. We sensed the tremors early on, and before the monster horde came, we summoned all inspection squads and engineering teams back.”

Manager Jiang pondered it for a while before he frowned and said, “But there is a jungle with multiple marshes in the south. It’s around six kilometers from the base. I think there’s an unmarked developing land there. There are dozens of pathfinders there that might have run into the monster horde.”

“Unmarked developing land?” Meng Chao frowned as well.

When it came to expanding living space, Dragon City mainly sent the Red Dragon Army, the nine great cultivation families, and the exploration teams from the four great research centers to explore the wild and cultivate the land.

Even though the nine great mega corporations faced the problem of growing into something completely distorted and possessing power greater than that of the Survival Committee, they had a standardized way of cultivating land. Before they developed a forward operating base or cultivated a land, they were repeatedly inspected on how they would do it by the related departments. They first had to get the support from the Red Dragon Army and the Supernatural Tower.

But the human desire for living space could not be completely monopolized by a business or force of power.

Tens of millions of youngsters stayed in Dragon City like ants, and most of them could not find suitable, dignified jobs.

But the outside world was endless and full of fertile soil filled with spirit energy. There were plenty of crystals lying around, and they presented a chance to become rich overnight.

In the past, they were surrounded by monsters, so they could only cower in their dwelling places.

But once they gained full victory in the northern offense, humanity switched from defense to offense, and many normal people gained a sufficient amount of weapons and ammunition. Some of them even gained the second-hand armored vehicles and armored drones cast aside from the Red Dragon Army to provide support to them.

Most of the fearsome monsters were killed by superhumans who became much stronger, like Meng Chao. The ones with even an inkling of intelligence all fled to the perimeter of Monster Mountain Range, which was far from Dragon City.

‘Now, it’s time to claim our territory. Whoever claims a territory first will possess it!’

‘Dragon City has been expanding nonstop, and soon, it will develop to the territory that we first claimed. At that time, even if the Survival Committee takes back our land, the compensation for the removal of our property will be enough for us to enjoy our lives!’

‘Those who are cowardly and those who are bold won’t have any future if they stay for the rest of their lives in Dragon City. It’s better for us to risk our lives and fight for a chance in the wild!’
