Chapter 460 - Confusing (1/2)

The good news was that their harvesters and security guards were all safe. Even though some of them were pretty badly burned, at least their lives were not in danger.

The medical field in Dragon City was much more advanced than when it was on Earth. With the help from all sorts of valuable medicine extracted from monsters, they might not even have scars left on their bodies.

The bad news was, aside from Ning Lang, the three other robbers were all engulfed by flames, and all the materials in the warehouse were burnt to ashes.

As for the others, Meng Chao did not know much more compared to the other three.

He was in a really bad mood right now.

It was not just because of the warehouse going up in flames and suffering a major loss.

In truth, while this warehouse was filled with all sorts of cultivation resources, most of them were still the flesh and bones from normal monsters and Nightmarish Beasts.

Even the raw crystals and raw liquid for gene medicine were cheap stuff for beginners.

After all, Superstar was still focused on the middle and low-end market. It had only started pushing into the high-end market.

The Tyrant Mammoth Meng Chao hunted during the day in the wild was a Grade Six Hell Beast that was only one step away from becoming an Apocalyptic Beast, and its thigh was even thicker than Meng Chao himself. That thing alone was already worth half of the materials in the warehouse.

But that was not the problem of money.

He could lose the money, but he could not afford this embarrassment!

Ever since he became a superhuman, every time, he fought against enemies who were stronger than he was. He jumped around in a lively manner in front of enemies who were far more superior than he was, like Lin Chuan, Gao Ye, the White Spirit, Earthquake, and the Demonic Abyss Eye. He spat in the face of death like a maniac, and he never died. He even managed to launch counterattacks in the end.

He did not expect that after he reached Heaven Realm and even trained hard in the wild for three months, he would nearly lose… to a person who could not even be considered to be a proper superhuman during his first battle back in Dragon City.

He was the youngest Heaven Realm superhuman in Dragon City. All his dignity was gone.

“Dad, don’t you think the security system of our company’s material warehouses is too lax?” Meng Chao scrunched up his nose and smelled a lot of valuable materials burning in the fire. In an act that could only be considered as him venting his anger on someone innocent, he said, “Silver Dragon Grass, Colored Bronze Stones, the spines of Lightning Dragons… There are so many valuable materials stored here, and in the end, we only have one one-star superhuman guarding the place, and he’s…”

Meng Chao originally wanted to say that he was a retiree who came over to make some contribution in his remaining years, but he thought about it and did not say it.

“Meng Chao, don’t blame President Meng for this. It’s my fault.”

Xie Xiaolei’s face was as calm as water as he came forward to explain the situation.

He had once been the president of Spirit Creations Creatures and Gao Ye’s partner.

After Gao Ye turned into the Supernatural Entity, Earthquake, the first thing he did was to destroy the labs of Spirit Creations Creatures. He had even nearly killed Xie Xiaolei, and in a stroke of luck, Meng Chao had saved him in time.

With Gao Ye causing this stir, even if Spirit Creations Creatures did not end up going bankrupt, it would still not be suitable for them to get into contact with core biochemical modification projects and construction projects anymore. They could not conduct their business.

After the abnormal beast research department acted as the middleman, Meng Chao’s Superstar bought over all the core assets of Spirit Creations Creatures.

Speaking of which, Spirit Creations Creatures’ collapse was not considered the fault of the company itself. Xie Xiaolei himself was still really good at managing businesses and expanding it.

Meng Chao, his father, and Qin Hu might be working together, but as Superstar continued growing, it slowly grew out of what the three of them could control, and so they decided to just let Xie Xiaolei take the reins and use his talent however he wanted.

In any case, the core value of Superstar was Meng Chao’s strength and connections.

As long as his fighting strength continued increasing, Meng Chao believed that with how smart Xie Xiaolei was, he would not readily play any tricks under the youngest Heaven Realm superhuman’s nose.

Xie Xiaolei was indeed a business elite who was really good at making strategies.

He definitely played a major part in Superstar being able to monopolize half of the middle and low-end market in Dragon City so quickly.

Recently, he had been ambitious and wanted to enter the high-end market. This was something Meng Chao and the others supported.

After all, once Meng Chao reached Heaven Realm, he needed more high-grade cultivation resources.

He did not have his own material accumulation channels, and he could only buy them in the market or rely on the abnormal beast research department supporting. But it made him feel like he was controlled by others.

The harvesting, preparation, storage, and other aspects of high-grade materials required a different environment compared to middle-grade and low-grade materials.

The warehouses that were originally used to store middle-grade and low-grade materials might not be suited to store high-grade materials.

Hence, with Xie Xiaolei taking charge, Superstar had been recently buying or renting warehouses, and they got themselves five new material warehouses in one go.

The one in front of them was one of them.

But they expanded too quickly, and the upgrading of the material warehouses was related to a series of trifling technical problems. All the Superstar upper management, including Xie Xiaolei, had been working round the clock all the time. But in the end, their security system did not manage to catch up, and this was a fatal oversight.
