Chapter 426 - Olive Branch (1/2)

When it came to the workings of the world, it was important for everyone to help each other.

Taking all rewards alone in any powerful organization or disciplinary force was not a good habit.

Besides, Meng Chao was indeed not the only person who contributed to the victory.

Even though he managed to predict the Supernatural Entities’ main target, if Lu Siya, Ye Xiaoxing, the Red Dragon Army, and the large number of superhumans had not supported him, forget about killing the Supernatural Entity, he would have even lost his life under Noble Descent Hotel.

Meng Chao had never thought of basking in the glory alone.

Any other normal young adult in his early twenties might have a hard time resisting the temptation of being famous, but he came from the apocalypse. Even though he was not really indifferent to fame and wealth, he really did not care about empty titles.

Compared to the Other World extraordinary beings that would definitely turn into dust under his fists in the future, the reputation of killing one single Supernatural Entity was nothing.

Compared to glory, he cared much more about resources.

Hence, Meng Chao asked Lu Siya to contact the leaders of the abnormal beast research department and see how they would reward him for this battle.

“I’m easily appeased. I don’t need a lot of glory, just give me money.” Meng Chao paused for a moment, then added, “Wait. Money isn’t everything. Many of the raw materials of Apocalyptic Beasts and supreme-grade crystals can’t be bought with money. The weapons created by grandmaster-class craftsmen and runic symbol masters can’t be measured by money either.

“This is still a world where the strong rule. Money can’t replace power, and it’s no different from toilet paper.

“So, aside from money, I need cultivation resources that will be enough for a Heaven Realm superhuman to cultivate for an entire year. The specially made high-calorie nutritional fluid I’ve been soaking in feels really comfortable. If I could bathe in three to five tons of that stuff every day, that would be great.

“Also, my chain sabers broke in the battle. Lately, my body has been becoming stronger, so it’s difficult for me to control my power from gushing out explosively. Normal weapons can no longer satisfy me, so I’d like to hire a few of the grandmasters ranked at the top in Dragon City to create a few weapons that I will be able to use at ease.

“Also, it felt great using the eight gun-mounted RG-6 and the heavy machine gun, so it’d be best if you could get them to customize some portable versions that I could carry all the time on my shoulder. When I walk down the streets, I’d feel safer then.

“By the way, I reached Heaven Realm. If I don’t learn some killing moves, secret ultimate moves, or awaken to some techniques, it won’t fit my current status. Are there any on-the-job training sessions or continuous education sessions in the department? Or could you hire some Deity Realm superhumans to teach me amazing martial arts?

“That’s about it. The abnormal beast research department is huge and has a lot of resources, so it shouldn’t be too much of a problem, right?”

“…” Lu Siya sucked in a deep breath and said expressionlessly, “I will report all of your requests to the higher-ups, word by word.”

“That’s good, then. Thanks, Big Sis Ya.” Meng Chao smiled and looked at Lu Siya. Suddenly, he thought of something. “Honestly, instead of paying attention to promoting me, it would be better to promote you.”

Lu Siya cocked an eyebrow. “Oh?”

“Think about it. I don’t have a powerful background and have no force of power. Superstar has just been built up. Turning me into this model superhuman will just be an empty title, and it won’t bring me a lot of substantial benefits. Instead, it would bring me a lot of unnecessary trouble.

“But you’re different. You’re part of one of the nine great cultivation families and a member of the Lu family. Your father is the president of Sky Pillar Minerals, which is a core company under Sky Pillar Corporation. I believe that you and your father need this contribution and glory more than I do. It will help you gain an even steadier footing in your family and the corporation.

“And if you use the power from the Lu family and Sky Pillar Corporation, you can bring out the full value of this reward and get more benefits. Even if we split the rewards in half, it’ll be much more profitable compared to me turning all my rewards to cash.

“Don’t you think so, Big Sis Ya?”

Lu Siya narrowed her eyes.

Meng Chao’s suggestion tempted her.

“Speaking of which, being a model superhuman isn’t that easy,” Meng Chao continued. “I think that the monster civilization won’t stop just like this. They might launch an even more sinister and fierce attack. Next time, their targets might be the model superhumans.

“If you become a model superhuman, you and your family must be mentally prepared for the endless assassination attempts from the monsters.”

Lu Siya let out a bark of laughter. “That’s not a problem. If the monsters want to kill me and my family, let them,” she said unconcerned.

Meng Chao thought about it, and it made sense.

The Lu family was one of the nine great cultivation families in Dragon City. If it were that easy to kill the Lu family members, they would have been wiped out a long time ago.

With that thought in mind, he felt that his suggestion would benefit each one of them and satisfy both parties.

Lu Siya thought about it for a while and asked Meng Chao to rest properly. Once night came, she would ask the doctors to perform a full body examination on him.

If there were no major problems, he could be discharged the next day.

Before she left the ward, she left behind a tablet for Meng Chao.

Naturally, he eagerly contacted his parents.

They did not know the details of him risking his life in a battle again.

The abnormal beast research department and Gu Jianbo had matched their statements and said that he was only wounded lightly. They said that since a new zombie virus and the undead had appeared that night on the battlefield, they had all those who participated in the battle isolated for a few days once they considered the risks of the virus spreading.

Once the parents learned that Meng Chao was safe and no longer needed to be observed, they were, of course, overjoyed. They then grumbled about him seldom going home lately. There were all sorts of fresh monster materials at home, and they were all waiting for him to “get rid” of them!

After Meng Chao learned that his parents and little sister were safe, he sighed in relief. Then, he promised his parents that he would go home often once he was done with his work over the next few days.
