Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! Chapter 359: Spending a Huge Amount of Money

Chapter 359: Spending a Huge Amount of Money

Meng Chao had a pretty good image of Ms. Xiao.

He remembered that she was a smart and pa.s.sionate woman.

Perhaps it was because she was a teacher, she was really good at teaching. She had once helped Meng Chao compile some of the skills and cultivation methods of the Ultimate Style into a small booklet that was easy to understand so that the broken-star superhumans who did not receive a lot of education could learn from it.

If it were not because she was too busy with her daily tasks as a teacher, did not have a lot of time to serve the Broken Star Club, and had tactfully declined the offer, she would have been elected as a director of the Broken Star Club with support from many members.

Meng Chao did not expect that her husband would be one of the ten great lost people in the Dragon City of his previous life.

When he thought about it, Zhao Feixuan should not have started committing any crimes yet. He wondered whether he could stop the man in time.

“Three days latter, there will be a large volunteer event at Temporary Shelter No.15, which is located in the east of the city. Broken Star Club, Blue Home, and five other public welfare organizations have registered for the event. At that time, we will arrange for the Broken Star Club to be together with Blue Home,” Ye Xiaoxing said. “You don’t have to do anything. When you see Xiao Fanghua, just greet her. I believe that Zhao Feixuan has long since known about you through his wife.

“You’re Lin Chuan’s junior, and you once livestreamed with him online. You’re also an alumni of Gao Ye. It’s not a secret that Superstar worked together with Spirit Creation Creatures either. If Zhao Feixuan and Blue Home are really interested in you, he will definitely take the initiative to approach you.

“If he doesn’t approach you on his own, that’s fine. We’ll think of some other method.”

Meng Chao thought about it and asked, “What if Zhao Feixuan contacts me on his own? Should I sneak into Blue Home and search for evidence of their crimes?”

“Stop. It’s not as dangerous as you think it is.” Ye Xiaoxing did not know whether he should laugh or cry. “We’re not filming a spy movie here. You’re not an official member of the abnormal beast research department, either. We don’t want to put you in danger.

“Don’t take the initiative to do anything. If they ask you to join Blue Home’s activities, you should join them honestly, but keep your eyes and ears open to what’s happening around you. If they want to recruit you and make you a core member of Blue Home, don’t be reckless. You just need to make sure what they want to do.

“I believe that Blue Home has a lot of professionals and leaders in the business field supporting them. Their core activities may not be strictly within the law, but they can’t flaunt it blatantly.

“If you must do something, pretend that you agree to the ideals of Blue Home. That’ll be enough. But don’t act too pa.s.sionate about it, or it’ll have the opposite effect.

“Of course, if you really do pa.s.sionately believe in the ideals of Blue Home, that’s fine too. In fact, it’d be great.”

Meng Chao’s eyebrows shot up. “Even if... I believe them like Lin Chuan and Gao Ye? Is that fine too?”

“That’s fine,” Ye Xiaoxing said seriously. “Lin Chuan and Gao Ye’s ideals weren’t crimes. Dragon City is at the center of a storm right now and we’re facing an unprecedented era. Before us are countless forks that are as complicated as a maze. No one knows just which path leads to a truly bright future.

“The politicians in the Survival Committee and the peddlers all have the right to think about the path that leads to a bright future. I believe that not even G.o.d knows whose version of the future is the correct one.

“Perhaps some parts of Lin Chuan and Gao Ye’s thoughts are correct. But that’s not important.

“We’re the abnormal beast research department, not a thought research department. We don’t care what sort of ideals you uphold or if you’re bewitched or controlled by abnormal beasts.

“Our goal is to cast a long line and catch the abnormal beasts. We don’t want to just catch humans who are bewitched by abnormal beasts.”

Meng Chao nodded with a contemplative expression.

Ye Xiaoxing continued, “As long as you don’t act recklessly, this mission shouldn’t be dangerous. But I have to give you a reminder.

“After Lin Chuan and Gao Ye’s cases, you must have become the abnormal beasts’ target. I don’t think that the abnormal beasts will kill you directly, but they might think of a way to bewitch and control you so that you’ll turn into the next Lin Chuan or Gao Ye.

“Gao Ye has been incessantly sending you experiment logs, and that might be one of the methods the abnormal beasts are using to bewitch you.

“So, even though we really want to know the situation in Blue Home, you have the right to refuse it, because once you are deep in Blue Home, no one can guarantee that you won’t be bewitched by the abnormal beasts. If you turn out like Lin Chuan or Gao Ye, we can’t guarantee that we will be able to turn you back.”

“I won’t reject it,” Meng Chao said firmly. “If I become the abnormal beasts’ target and they wish to bewitch me, they can do it anytime, can’t they? Instead of being caught off guard and hypnotized by them, it would be better for me to just jump into their nest. At the very least, I’ll know what I’ll be facing.”

Ye Xiaoxing smiled and brought out a memory card, which he handed over to him.

Meng Chao’s heart skipped a beat. “What is this?”

“Your reward. You’re not an official member of the abnormal beast research department, so we can’t give you a salary and insurance. But when you carry out missions for us, we have to give you rewards,” Ye Xiaoxing explained.

“That anonymous donor is very pleased with the progress of your cultivation. They believe that since you’re now a three-star superhuman, you should try practicing higher-level martial arts. This card has a few spirit energy magnetic field diagrams the donor customized for you based on the status of your cultivation. If you can master them and really run into danger, you will be able to hold back the danger for a while, until reinforcements arrive.”

“The donor customized killing moves for me?”

Even if Meng Chao had already known that the mysterious donor who supported the development of the Broken Star Club was a peerless fighter ranked among the top five in Dragon City, he was still shocked by the large donation.

Spirit energy and runic symbol cultivation had been developed for more than half a century. While it was not perfect, it had still evolved to the point that it was pretty well-developed.

Right now, they were no longer in the era where the powerful fighters could create brand new spirit energy magnetic fields just by looking at the wide sky and gaining epiphanies from it.

Even veteran fighters and researchers like Gu Jianbo and Li Yingzi had to acc.u.mulate a lot of experimental data and work hard for a long time to create one or two brand new spirit energy magnetic fields, but even those might not be usable in real fights.

But this mysterious donor had CASUALLY created a few brand new spirit energy magnetic fields for Meng Chao?

Meng Chao felt a little overwhelmed.

“May I thank this anonymous donor personally?” he asked.

“It’s not necessary for the time being. But I believe that once you reach Heaven Realm, you will definitely have the chance to receive guidance face-to-face from this anonymous donor.” Ye Xiaoxing said with a smile. “Aside from your personal cultivation progress, the anonymous donor is also very satisfied with the development of the Broken Star Club.

“Until now, the broken-star superhumans were a sleeping force. Now, they’ve woken up because of the Ultimate Style and long to stand on larger stages.

“It’s impossible for this strength to be overlooked for a long time. If the Broken Star Club didn’t bring them together, they might have been attracted by organizations like Blue Home.

“The anonymous donor believes that in your hands, the Broken Star Club will definitely be able to contribute more to Dragon City’s future.”

“Of course, I’ll do it,” Meng Chao said firmly.

Three days later, Meng Chao was at Temporary Shelter No.15, which was in the east of the city.

When he looked over, he saw large gray and silver inflatable tents at the perimeter of the shelter. The center had simple sheds with three or four levels. Between the tents and sheds were narrow paths filled with moving crowds.

Tens of thousands of citizens who lost their homes had gathered here for the time being. Since they lacked water, they could not bathe, and the trash from their daily lives piled up into mountains. The air in the shelter had a vivid stench.

The old homes of these citizens were either destroyed by monsters who corroded them with acid so much that they were swaying and about to collapse at any moment or poisoned until they were unlivable.

Dragon City had relatively advanced construction skills. It was not difficult for them to remove debris and build a few buildings again.

The problem was that the ground was corroded by acid and held poison as well, and the combination of the two attracted pests. They spread all sorts of fatal plagues, including zombie virus.

If the city did not handle it and built new buildings on the ruins, once the citizens moved into these places, they would contract all sorts of diseases or even be bitten by rats. Then, the possibility of them turning into zombies would be five times or ten times higher than the average.

Hence, aside from clearing the debris, they also had to dig three to five meters of earth and rock strata to disinfect and purify it.

Based on the level of corrosion, the purification process took from around three months to half a year.

And with the time needed to build and furnish the buildings, the citizens would need to wait at least a year before they could live in the new houses. But this was an estimate made when the Survival Committee had a sufficient budget for reconstruction and did not run into any large-scale monster invasions.

Everyone knew that the Survival Committee’s budget was never enough. There was not a year when Dragon City did not face a monster invasion.

Hence, no one knew just when the citizens living in tents and simple sheds could live in new houses. It was one of the reasons behind why the citizens in Golden Tooth Lair never left the lair and lived in new houses.

Meng Chao called Qin Hu over and brought a few built broken-star superhumans to bring out boxes of canned food and drinkable water.

He had partic.i.p.ated in more than ten such volunteer events, so he was already familiar with the process.

It did not matter to him whether he earned contribution points from it. The main point was that most of the residential areas taken down by the monsters were similar to Blessed Heavenly Garden. They had not been maintained for years and were all old residential areas with relatively weak defense systems.

On that day, it happened to some other residential area, but the next day, Blessed Heavenly Garden might meet the same fate. When he saw the citizens who had lost their homes, Meng Chao always sympathized with them. If he did not do something to help them, his consciousness would scream at him.

Meng Chao and Qin Hu handed the canned food and drinkable water to the citizens.

He also helped check whether the citizens had tiny wounds. After a fog descent, even the scratches and bites from pests were not minor matters. The pests carried fatal viruses and could turn humans into zombies at any moment.

Soon, Meng Chao saw volunteers with Blue Home’s emblem working in an area near them. They were all young adults full of pa.s.sion. Their eyes were bright, and they worked with gusto; they did not care that the place stank or that it was messy. They were really serving the citizens.

“Club Leader Meng?”

Suddenly, Meng Chao heard Xiao Fanghua’s delighted cry.
