Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

Once they were done talking about their injuries, the war situation, and Gao Ye’s survival, what came next was the joyous process of discussion about the rewards they would get from their contributions.

“Do you know that the leaders of the abnormal beast research department are mad with glee right now?”

When they started talking about this, even Lu Siya could not hide her joy. “The adjudicator court is an old law enforcement system in Dragon City, and compared to them, the research department has just been built, so we don’t have a strong foundation. Our resources, connections, equipment, and even our hard power is lacking.

“The adjudicator court also has a lot of criticisms toward our operations. They believe that the crimes conducted by abnormal beasts are about the same as those of lost people, so they should all be given to the adjudicator court to handle. The best would be to give more money and resources to the adjudicator court so that they could create an anti-abnormal beast squad within the adjudicator court itself. The government would then not need to set up another department.

“You can already imagine it. If we were tricked by the abnormal beasts’ scheme this time, didn’t manage to predict their real target, and just watched as the transmigration experts and investors were all killed, we would have failed horribly and ended up as jokes.

“If that really happened, not only would the adjudicator court seize the chance to attack the research department by saying that we can’t do our job properly, thus causing our budget and personnel next year to be largely diminished, the adjudicator court might really form an anti-abnormal beast squad within itself to fight against us.

“At this thought, cold sweat had broken out on the backs of the leaders of the research department.

“Thank goodness they have us, but more accurately, thank goodness we have you. You managed to predict each of the mastermind’s steps as if you have God helping you and helped us win beautifully.

“Based on the news that I received from various channels, the politicians in the Survival Committee and the bigshots in the Supernatural Tower are very satisfied with the abnormal beast research department’s performance. They believe that the experts should handle their own specialties, and so, when it comes to cases related to the abnormal beasts, they should all be given to the research department.

“The budget and the personnel arrangement next week will be a little more biased toward the research department. The research department and the adjudicator court will engage in a healthy competition, and it might help the two law enforcement departments to form an iron wall within Dragon City.

“In any case, after this battle, the research department has really risen to power, and we now stand as equals with the adjudicator court. You’re an off-staff member, but you contributed the most to the battle. While you were unconscious, the captain and the leaders in the department came to visit you while wondering how they should reward and cultivate you so that they would be able to compensate you properly according to your achievements!”

Meng Chao beamed at her after hearing those words.

In his previous life, during the later stage of the Monster War, the abnormal beast research department rose to power really quickly.

There was a period of time when it even replaced the adjudicator court as the strongest law enforcement department in Dragon City. When a problem of investigation popped up, they could mobilize all the resources in Dragon City, including the Red Dragon Army and the Supernatural Tower.

In this life, he managed to get on this “bullet train”, which should be really beneficial to his development in the future.

However, once the Monster War came to an end, the research department had disappeared without a trace. It was as if it had never existed.

That was something strange.

Logically speaking, even if the monsters were thoroughly defeated, the functions of the abnormal beast research department should have just changed. There was no reason for it to disappear completely.

After all, there were all sorts of strange intelligent life forms in the Other World. The abnormal beast research department could be upgraded to the Other World research department and continue researching the dwarves, elves, giant demons… and all the crazy locals of the Other World.

There was something odd about this, and it was not good.

Regardless of whether Meng Chao was willing, even if he was only an off-staff member in name, his future was already bound to the abnormal beast research department.

He had to find the reason behind why the abnormal beast research department had disappeared without a trace in the future and help it upgrade as well as maintain its throne as the strongest law enforcement department in Dragon City.

“Aside from this, Project 101’s Professor Lu Tianxing and the investors of controllable transmigration technology are also grateful to you. They contact me every day to keep track of your recovery and ask me repeatedly to notify them once you wake up so that they can thank you personally.”

Lu Siya paused for a moment before she said, “Professor Lu is at Deity Realm. He might have been captured by the mastermind and ended up in a very pathetic state, but that’s because he used all his spirit energy to stimulate his brain cells in the field of academia.

“The investors of controllable transmigration are all bigshots who are loaded with money and have the world at their beck and call. If you form good ties with these people, you and Superstar will gain immeasurable benefits in the future.”

Meng Chao nodded.

The Colonization Party was in trend, so if the Home Party could stand as equals with them, then their connections and resources were naturally unfathomable.

The investors of controllable transmigration might not be as rich as the nine great cultivation families, but they were not far behind them.

If it were not for the fact that they had so much money that they did not know how to spend it, why would they actually invest in the bottomless pit that was controllable transmigration technology?

“Next is the Agricultural University,” Lu Siya continued. “You have a good tutor and tutoress. Gu Jianbo and Li Yingzi stayed with you for an entire day and night. They only left at ease once they were certain that your condition had stabilized, that you were just drained in terms of your spirit energy because of the radiation sickness and because your cultivation realm rose too quickly, and you will slowly wake up after you’re replenished with a large amount of high-calorie substances.

“On the second day, the Agricultural University brought over a batch of Apocalyptic Beast materials and mixed them together with the supreme-grade crystals from Sky Pillar Corporation to create supreme-grade medicine that costs tens of thousands. That’s why you were able to reconstruct your blood vessels, nerves, and meridians within just a short three days.

“Judging by their tone, Black Tortoise Zong Yue of Agricultural University’s martial arts course is very pleased with your performance. Once you recover and go back, he will personally provide you with guidance.”

Meng Chao exhaled long and hard.

He remembered that a year ago, before he went to the northern battlefield, Black Tortoise Zong Yue had spent a lot of effort to place a beast soul brand in his brain.

Meng Chao had fought day and night against the virtual Black Tortoise and continuously polished his Ultimate Style. That was why his cultivation realm and fighting strength could increase so quickly. It was also why he could reach Heaven Realm so soon.

At that time, he had arrogantly promised Black Tortoise Zong Yue that he would help Agricultural University’s martial arts course challenge Dragon City University’s martial arts course, the course which deserved its title of the king.

Meng Chao hadn’t forgotten his promise.

He believed that it would not be long before Agricultural University’s martial arts course became the strongest in Dragon City.

“In any case, we made the right bet,” Lu Siya said with a grin. “Even though it was a huge risk, the rewards are really great. Connections, resources, glory, status. All that you want is coming to you swiftly. You might even turn into an idol before everyone’s eyes!”

Meng Chao was so happy that he could not stop smiling. He said modestly, “Nah, I mean, idol? I don’t think so.”

Lu Siya then said with a smile, “What do you mean by you don’t think so? This is a good time for that to happen.

“This is what is happening. Based on the newest strategy of the abnormal beasts, their plan was to intensify the conflict within Dragon City and sow discord between the Home Party and Colonization Party as well as between the superhumans and normal people. That day, when you tried to convince me, didn’t you come to this conclusion?

“To destroy the abnormal beasts’ plan, the higher-ups are reinforcing propaganda. They want the people to focus on the ideals and have them deeply embedded in their brains, such as superhumans being the weapons of human civilization and the blood of the strong flowing for the weak. It’s all so that Dragon City can become more harmonious, united, and good.

“For that, it’s necessary to create some model superhumans.

“With your status, fighting strength, the speed at which you climb the cultivation realms, and your contributions in predicting the enemy’s plots and killing the mastermind in this battle, if we don’t make you a model superhuman, it’s just too much of a waste, and we’ll be doing dirty to your contributions!”

What she said was right.

If he did not have the clue about the X-shaped eye, Meng Chao might have accepted the offer gladly and become an idol for Dragon City.

But now, he was a little worried. If he was too flashy, would he attract continuous attention from the abnormal beasts, Supernatural Entities, and even the mastermind who created the Supernatural Entities?

There were plenty of things that could not be hidden, such as how he had managed to predict the Demonic Abyss Eye’s plot and how he had killed it.

But if that was all, Meng Chao believed that he would not be too high up the black list of the monster civilization.

At the very least, his position would not be higher than that of transmigration expert Professor Lu Tianxing and the rest.

But if he worked with them on the promotions and became a hero in the eyes of the public as well as an idol adored by the young adults, even appearing in the dreams of countless girls, then his status would change.

He would then become a banner that would go up against the monster civilization.

Even if it were just to break the humans’ morale, the monster civilization might launch continuous assassination attempts on him.

Meng Chao was not afraid of being assassinated.

In truth, as a member of the Ghost Tribe in his previous life, he was skilled in Walking Corpse and Bizarre Stab. He had also mastered more than one hundred assassination techniques.

But he had to consider things for his family, especially his little sister.

Before he made sense of all the clues, he did not want his little sister to awaken to her Night Demon Blood and turn into the Dark Witch. It would add a few more variables to the already chaotic battlefield.

While thinking about this, Meng Chao humbly told Lu Siya that it was mainly because of the calm commands from the higher-ups and the timely reinforcements from the Red Dragon Army that they were able to successfully stop the abnormal beasts’ plot. The citizens were also united, and the powerful fighters were confident in them. Most importantly, Lu Siya always provided support to him by the side and fought with him till the final moment.

Hence, the achievement belonged to everyone, and if anyone were to become a model hero, it should be everyone. He had just done something insignificant while supported by many others.

“Big Sis Ya, you understand me. I’m someone who has broken free of such lowly interests. The title of model superhuman is an empty title, and it’s like the clouds in the sky…” Meng Chao said sincerely.

“If the title of destroying the plot and killing the abnormal beast is really important, they can take it if they want. All you need to do is convert the reputation into money, shares, property, or cultivation resources of the same value and give it to me as compensation. That will be enough.”
