Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

Chapter 647: Spokesperson

Meng Chao and Lu Siya’s relationship in the circle was not a secret. When the brand image packaging company was creating their identities as model superhumans, they often asked them to work as a pair and tied them together. They could take down the fans in high-end circles and those in the sinking market. Therefore, quite a number of people thought that they were lovers.

However, as of now, Meng Chao did not harbor such thoughts toward Lu Siya.

More accurately speaking, they were not targeted solely toward Lu Siya.

He did not have much interest in purely human girls.

One of the reasons was because he knew that Dragon City might face the apocalypse, so it was difficult for him to pour all of his emotions into a normal relationship.

If he could not stop the torrent of destiny and the apocalypse really arrived, a deep love would only bring him searing pain.

If he even accidentally had children during the relationship and had his own family, he would have a much harder time accepting the fact that he would be watching his wife, as well as children, struggle, wail, die, and perish in the flames of the apocalypse.

It was better for him to be alone and have no strings attached.

If he never had something, then he would not have to care about losing it.

Women would only interfere with his judgment and cultivation, thus preventing him from contributing to human civilization.

Aside from that, there was one even more important reason that he could not quite tell.

There was a secret deep within Meng Chao’s heart. It was one he never told anyone, not even Bai Jiacao and Lu Siya.

As his cultivation realm grew higher, his cerebral cortex became stronger, and more memories from his previous life were gradually being awakened. They also became more detailed.

Besides the intense fighting from his previous life, he had also awakened to the memories of his daily existence in his past life.

Around one year ago, Meng Chao would often dream about strange things whenever it was quiet at night, and they had all been exciting scenes that made his blood race.

They had also been ones that made his face turn red and were scenes that would usually be censored.

Dragon City was known as the Extraordinary Disaster in his previous life, and it was not a just and kind civilization.

In his previous life, his parents had died tragically, and his sister had been corrupted. He had also faced pressure to survive, so he had joined Ghost Tribe’s training camp to become a Ghost Assassin. He was neither a kind, religious man nor a righteous man.

Every single time a Ghost Assassin carried out a mission, he had to risk his life and dance on the edge of a sword.

Even if their bodies could survive, their minds would become really distorted due to the highly intense missions, and they needed to find release using all sorts of methods.

Plus, when it came down to it, there was only one great way for men to relieve their stress.

At that time, Dragon Citizens had already come into close contact with the other races in the Other World.

Compared with normal citizens, Meng Chao had more chances to engage with the fairer sex of the other intelligent life forms in the Other World as a Ghost Assassin. They had all kinds of appearances.

There were the elf witches, whose skins changed like chameleons as their environment changed; the battle goddesses of the icefolk, who wore pelts and were really good at fighting; female magicians who could literally raid the clouds because they seemed to fly in the sky; succubi who were surrounded by icy flames and whose eyes could suck souls away; female bloodfolk whose fangs would grow on their own when they were in the throes of passion, hence he had to be on guard against them at all times…

In Meng Chao’s fragmented dreams, he often met with people of that level.

The Other World’s living environment was incredibly brutal.

It did not matter whether it was monsters or intelligent life forms, once they had the chance, they would do their best to make their lives bloom. With the most pious spirits and fervent manner, they would search for the most exciting pleasures, regardless if it only lasted for a moment.

Even if Meng Chao was currently the youngest Heaven Realm superhuman in Dragon City, when he met people of the same level in his dreams at night, he had to squeeze out all the potential in his cells to deliver astonishing power and suppress them.

Hence, whenever Meng Chao woke up from his dreams, he would feel that everything was dull, and he would be in a despondent mood.

How should he put it into words? It was just like how someone would find pure tofu stir-fried with leek tasteless after they had gotten used to spicy hotpot that was full of chili, oil, and sour stuff. They would not be able to find it appetizing.

He had gotten used to sparring and growing together with elf witches, the icefolk’s battle goddesses, witches, succubi, the duchesses of the bloodfolk, cat women, leopard women, rabbit women, snake women, dragon women, and others. So, when he saw the purely human girls in Dragon City, he just found them uninteresting and bland.

Based on normal human standards, Lu Siya was definitely so beautiful that she gave off an aggressive air, but she also emanated a very invasive air. Many men would say that they could not handle her.

However, to Meng Chao, a veteran who had lived up to the apocalypse and always ended up exhausted in his dreams, even if he was naked with Lu Siya in a medical cabin, his mind would not wander.

Besides, Lu Siya was very dangerous.

She was just as dangerous as Meng Chao.

Meng Chao valued his relationship with Lu Siya, but he did not want their relationship to develop to that stage because he still had not figured out what stance to take with the nine mega corporations.

In his previous life, Dragon City had walked toward destruction under the leadership of the nine mega corporations.

If he wanted to prevent Dragon City’s destruction, did that mean there would come a day when he needed to stand as an enemy against the nine mega corporations?

Even though Lu Siya constantly said that she was not to be grouped with the nine mega corporations, she belonged to the Lu family, and she was one of the most outstanding third-generation members among the nine cultivation families. It was a fact that she would highly likely become a candidate for taking over Sky Pillar Corporation in the future.

Meng Chao did not want their relationship to become too complicated, although it was already very complicated.

“I-Is that so? I’m sorry, I didn’t know.” Su Mulian blushed and said, “You look like you have a really good relationship.”

“We do share a really good relationship. I will convey your thanks to Big Sis Ya.”

Meng Chao collected himself, cleared his throat, and changed the subject. “By the way, if you really want to thank us, there is something that only you can do.”

“What is it?” Su Mulian said, “As long as I can do it, I will definitely do everything I can.”

“You will definitely be able to do it, and you’ll do it well, even,” Meng Chao said. “I’m asking you to become the image spokesperson for the lair.”

“What?” Su Mulian widened her eyes and said, “Image spokesperson? What do you mean?”

“You’re going to represent the lair and change the rigid impression that the citizens have about the place,” Meng Chao explained. “Red Brows Su Lun might be a despicable traitor, and he didn’t have good motives; he just wanted to gain the favor of the gangs’ higher-ups when he wanted to corporatize, industrialize, and regularize the lair businesses, but the plan in itself isn’t wrong. Times have changed, and from now on, Dragon City can no longer afford to have any spaces that are dirty and filled with chaos. We need to change and open our doors to embrace the whole world.

“However, over the past few decades, the lair has always been ruled by gangs. It’s a place where the good and bad mingle. The moment ‘it is filthy, chaotic, has low living standards, is highly dangerous, should not be a place for good people,’ and other such rigid impressions are formed, it’ll be very difficult to change them. If we treat the lair as a mega corporation, it’ll be the same as its business reputation being zero. No, you can even call it a negative asset.

“This time, the crisis stirred up by the Vortex nearly brought destruction upon the lair, but it also gave it a chance to be reborn.

“If we want to set up a new image for the lair while we’re reconstructing it, we need a completely different image spokesperson from Underground Emperor Jin Wanhao.

“In the past, the moment the citizens think of Golden Tooth Lair, they think of Jin Wanhao, the gangs, and all kinds of unrefined, gray industries.

“I hope that in the future, we can make the citizens think of exciting entertainment industries and the contributions that the lair citizens at the bottom of society have made for Dragon City’s development through a new image spokesperson. I also hope that they will think of safety, cleanliness, and vigor.”

Su Mulian figured out the general gist of what Meng Chao was saying.

“Mr. Meng, aren’t you the best image spokesperson if that’s the case?” she asked.

“Everyone might have elected me as Golden Tooth’s gang leader, but I’m an outsider. The general population is already familiar with my status outside, so it’s hard for them to tie me with the lair,” Meng Chao explained further. “We need someone who was born in the lair and has a certain degree of influence but is completely different from the bulky, sturdy, and fierce gang leaders. It would be best if that person is kind, delicate, eager to help others, and will serve the people selflessly. Ms. Mulian, aren’t you the most suitable?”

“That’s…” Su Mulian hesitated for a moment and said, “I-I don’t know what I should do. I’ve never been an image spokesperson before. I don’t know what the job scope is.”

“It’s simple, you just need to tell all the people everything that happened in the lair and Leprosy Village,” Meng Chao said. “Tell everyone what kind of people the villagers are, and what kind of lives they’re living. Tell them what they’ve done for Dragon City, and what sort of grave suffering they’ve been going through.

“Tell them that the blood that flows in your veins is also red and warm. Your taste buds work just like everyone else’s when you eat, and you feel the same emotions just like everyone else. You also hope to build your home with all Dragon Citizens and fight for it until your last breath.

“Tell them that Dragon City is a lone ship sailing among the fierce waves of the vast ocean known as the Other World. This ship is already small enough, and it shouldn’t be made smaller by being divided into Leprosy Village, the lair, and the outside world. If you look at the big picture, we’re alone, and we don’t have any help. The only people we can trust and help are each other.

“Tell them that the flames that lit up in Leprosy Village expanded to the lair, and it nearly spread out to Dragon City. Regardless of whether they’re willing to believe it or not, the truth is that all of us are tightly connected. The disaster in Leprosy Village is Dragon City’s disaster, and the pain of the villagers is the pain of all Dragon Citizens. It’s the same the other way around.”

“That’s…” Su Mulian instinctively said, “You want me to share Leprosy Village’s situation with the public? But… our appearances…”

“There’s nothing wrong with your appearances. What we need to get rid of are those d*mn viruses, illnesses, and pain, not all of you, who are just afflicted with said viruses, illnesses, and pain,” Meng Chao said. “Trust me, the era where we bring harm to our neighbors is over. The new generation of Dragon Citizens will definitely have more open-minded spirits and minds. They will learn how to accept and admire all kinds of life forms.

“The lair and Leprosy Village have not been visited by hope for far too long. It’s time for you to welcome a brand new future that shines far into the distance!”
