Chapter 347 - Growth of the Dark Witch (2/2)

“Besides, Little Cao is right. There is no such thing as free lunch in the world. Various people are working hard to help us become bigger and stronger, so they will definitely want us to repay them by having you do something difficult and dangerous, right?

“Son, we don’t actually have to work so hard. The company can remain at the same scale as last year, and you can remain a one-star or two-star superhuman. You can live a comfortable and carefree life.

“There are plenty of superhumans who live their lives being one-star superhumans, so why do you have to face the risk of spirit energy deviation or even dying on the battlefield? Why do you have to reach the top?”

While eating his mother’s fried spring rolls and listening to his father’s worries, Meng Chao sighed in his heart.

His father was right.

If he did not know the future, the company could just remain with thirty or fifty employees while he stayed a carefree one-star superhuman who had no worries. At most, he would just become a two-star superhuman to enjoy his life.

A stable life with little riches brought peace. Knowing how to be content brought everlasting happiness, and that was the greatest blessing in life.

Unfortunately, the apocalypse was like a burning, sharp blade that hung above his head. Even if the blade had not pierced the top of his head, its light still stung his eyes.

The peace around him was just a dream.

Very soon, Dragon City would go on a journey that was even grander in scale, and it would be even more terrifying.

He had to grit his teeth and tear apart his flesh and bones while staking everything he had to continue climbing upward. That was the only way to survive once he reached a dangerous cliff. Only after he survived that cliff would he find a brand new path.

“Dad, don’t worry. I have a plan,” Meng Chao said. “You don’t have to worry about not being able to control Superstar once it becomes too big, either. You just need two things to control businesses in this tumultuous era in Dragon City and the Other World. First, connections. Second, power.

“When it comes to connections, I have the Broken Star Club at the grassroots level, and when it comes to those of a higher social rank, I have the support of Agricultural University and powerful people from various fields.

“When it comes to power, I’ve reached Spirit Gathering Realm in just one year, and my fighting strength is far beyond that of a three-star superhuman.

“As long as I have these two things, Superstar will forever be in our grasp. If I lose them, I’m afraid we won’t just need to be worried about something as simple as Superstar.

“In any case, you don’t have to be worried about so many things. You just need to trust that I have the power to protect all of you!”

In time, he managed to set his parents’ minds at ease, so he cast his attention to his little sister.

Bai Jiacao had graduated from middle school.

Over the past year, Meng Chao had used every second that he had to cultivate, so he seldom went home. He could even count the number of times he saw Bai Jiacao.

Girls quickly changed when they grew up. Bai Jiacao was very different compared to the girl he met when he just returned to the past. She no longer had her round face and young voice.

Her baby fat had disappeared. Her oval face was beginning to change, and she was gaining a sharp chin. Her body seemed to be growing, and now, she was a lot taller than before. In terms of her body ratio, her legs might be longer than Lu Siya’s. There was an amusement in her eyes, as if she could see through everything. It was not something a normal graduate of middle school should have.

In other words, his little sister… was becoming more and more like the Dark Witch.

It was not just her looks. Her wit and fighting strength resembled those of the Dark Witch as well.

Bai Jiacao had gained extraordinarily good results during her high school entrance exams and managed to get into Construction High, one of the three powerful high schools in Dragon City. She was even slotted into the experimental class.

Meng Chao asked Luo Hai about it, since he graduated from Construction High.

Luo Hai told him that the experimental class was the best class in Construction High. It was similar to Ninth High School’s rocket class, but it was smaller. It only recruited thirty students at most each year, and the students were taught with a special syllabus.

They completed all three years of high school education in one year. Then, they worked together with various famous universities to nurture the students with tertiary education.

Usually, the students who could join the experimental class were either rich or from powerful families. They were at the very least people like Luo Hai, who were second generation cultivators with parents who were at the peak of Heaven Realm.

There had never been anyone like Bai Jiacao, whose parents were normal people with no money, that got into Construction High’s experimental class with her own powers.

“Your father should publish a book on how to educate children so that he can tell us all how he managed to make both of you so outstanding. I can guarantee that the book will sell like hot cakes in the city and everyone will want a copy,” Luo Hai said seriously.

Meng Chao scratched his head. He did not think that his parents had any secrets in teaching them.

Of course, this was not entirely his doing either.

Even though he had been providing Bai Jiacao with a lot of gene medicine and high-calorie nutritional fluid over the past year and even racked his brains for basic martial arts that would be suitable for her, the main reason behind her improvement… was definitely because her Night Demon Blood was awakening.
