Could it be …
Meng Chao's skin crawled.
Disregarding the spinning world around him, he rushed to the firing hole and looked down amidst his family's cries of alarm.
As expected, the Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetle fell heavily to the ground. Even though the ground was covered in golden liquid, it was not completely dead.
It had only faked its death for a moment. As the golden liquid gradually solidified, the wound wriggled and healed, and its wings actually trembled slightly again.
'This is bad. My body is still too weak. I haven't recovered from my internal injuries, and I haven't mastered powerful spirit energy.
'Even though I have the Perfect Level Basic Gun Technique and the memories of my previous life regarding the monsters' weaknesses, the cooperation between my brain and my body isn't perfect. I'll need a long time to get used to it.
"There's a small flaw in the accuracy and timing of that shot just now. I can't believe it didn't hit the head."
Meng Chao felt despair.
Could it be that, just like how his younger sister would most likely be corrupted, fate was like a raging river that couldn't be changed by humans?
"I want to change!"
He gritted his teeth, and his eyes turned bloodshot. He wanted to climb down the stairs and use Reckless Bull Technique to fight against the superbeast.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning tore through the fog and pierced toward the Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetle.
Chi!
The Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetle only managed to fly half a meter before it was pinned back to the ground.
Lightning surged, and it was as if hundreds of shiny sabers had stabbed into the superbeast's body at the same time. Each of its organs was cut to pieces.
The superbeast let out a wail. Pieces of its shell curled up because of the electricity. The flesh inside exploded, and it died completely.
When the lightning faded away, Meng Chao saw that it was pinned down by a silver spear that was twelve feet long.
The silver spear coiled around like a dragon, the end of the spear trembling incessantly, letting out a proud hiss.
Dressed in white, like a celestial descending to the mortal world, he landed lightly on the end of the spear.
A powerful aura instantly enveloped the entire Blessed Heavenly Garden. Many of the low-level monsters were so intimidated that they didn't dare to move.
"A superhuman!"
All the residents were overjoyed and cheered after surviving a disaster.
In the end, Meng Chao crushed Blessed Heavenly Garden's nightmare.
He managed to stall for five crucial minutes so that the superhumans could arrive in time before the superbeasts caused devastating destruction.
The message came slowly.
[You assisted a superhuman in killing the Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetle and played a crucial role. Increased contribution points by 758.]
[You performed outstandingly during the battle to defend Blessed Heavenly Garden and made the greatest contribution to the residential area. You saved a large number of normal citizens, and Dragon City became stronger because of you. Increased contribution points by 436.]
[The Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetle is far stronger than what you can handle. Congratulations to the Fire Relayer for not caring about your own safety and winning against a stronger opponent. Once your deeds spread out, it will motivate more normal citizens to follow your example and fight to the end for civilization. Increased contribution points by 899.]
[Special citizen Bai Jiacao (Dark Witch)'s chances of being corrupted have been reduced by 1%. The future chaos in Dragon City has been reduced. Increased contribution points by 500.]
[Current contribution points: 2,478. You can awaken a new basic skill, Dragon Snake Force, and a support skill, Basic Harvesting Skill.
Nearly 2,500 contribution points shone brightly.
There were also a few grayish skills waiting to be awakened.
If he added in the fact that he had pushed his Basic Gun Technique to Perfect Level in one go, his rewards could be said to be bountiful.
But Meng Chao was a little dazed.
He leaned against the corner of the wall and sat for a long time, muttering unwillingly,
"Transcendent …"
…
With the appearance of an Extraordinaire, there was no longer any suspense about the outcome of the battle. The battle ended within half an hour.
Aside from two citizens who accidentally broke their arms, there were no other casualties in Blessed Heavenly Garden.
In the eyes of Dragon Citizens, this sort of injury could be solved with a few band-aids.
"We won!"
"We finally managed to kill those bastards."
"Superhumans are awesome."
"Old Meng from Block 19 is also awesome. He was the first to deal a heavy blow to the superbeast. As expected of the sharpshooter from the army twenty years ago."
"Stop fighting. At the end of the day, Blessed Heavenly Garden is awesome, Dragon City is awesome, and Earthlings are the most awesome!"
The shooting team and bayonet team flattered each other. The citizens smiled happily, and the residential area was filled with a joyous atmosphere.
Next was the harvesting segment, which was a delightful sight.
It was not much different from the slaughtering of pigs during Chinese New Year in the villages on Earth.
The crystal speakers played a cheerful tune that said, "Today is a Good Day". The young and old went into battle together, sharpened their weapons, and harvested the monsters.
The normal monsters belonged to Blessed Heavenly Garden.
The Black Beetles might have been ugly, but the flesh under their shells tasted really delicious. When they steamed them and dipped them in ginger vinegar, they tasted the same as the hairy crabs on Earth.
Many of the citizens started drooling when they imagined the "crab competition", which was the size of a chicken leg.
Besides, the rich adhesive liquid in their bodies was a high-quality fuel additive that could be sold for a lot of money.
There were also the newly evolved Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetles. Since this was the first time they appeared in Dragon City, they had a lot of research value. If the superhumans sent them to the monster research center, they would get a lot of cash, ammunition, and cultivation resources to return to Blessed Heavenly Garden.
Meng Yishan wore a chemical resistant suit, anti-corrosion gloves, and overshoes. He swung a butcher's knife and scalpel.
He looked like a savage butcher and a mad witch doctor.
Not only was he one of the best sharpshooters in Blessed Heavenly Garden, he was also the strongest harvester.
In truth, he was a professional. Every time the fog descended and all the monsters came out of their nests, he and a group of friends were hired by a resource recovery company to clean up the battlefield.
Meng Chao was too tired. He lay on the balcony and watched the bustling scene of labor.
After injecting a few highly-concentrated nutritional fluids and eating all the emergency compressed food in the house, he finally recovered a little.
But he was still hungry. He was as hungry as someone who had been shot by a main battle tank.
The pain in his head did not reduce by much. He used ice to chill it for half an hour, and it was so cold that his teeth were sore. But he still felt dizzy and his head hurt.
He cradled his head and rubbed his stomach. He recalled the fight just now and thought about his next step.
'Since the Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetles appeared, it means that the monsters are continuously getting stronger, and the war is about to go out of control.
'I have to seize every second and become stronger as soon as possible.
He thought about it for a long time and decided to first confirm one thing.
His memories of his previous life were blurry, so it should be a form of protection for his brain.
A human had a limited number of brain cells, and the capacity of their memory cells was also limited. No one could remember every detail and skill they had learned over the past few decades.
If all the information from his previous life was poured into his young seventeen-year-old brain at the moment he returned to the past, the only result would be his brain being burned, and he would turn into an idiot.
'By the looks of it, I can only become stronger through cultivation and have stronger brain cells and central nervous system. Then, I'll continuously release my previous life's memories?
'Makes sense. Every time I awaken a small portion of my memories and a skill, my head feels like it's about to split open, and I feel hungry. If I instantly awaken dozens of years' worth of memories and hundreds of skills, either my brain explodes or my life force is instantly drained.
'This is like sealing my previous life's memories in a slow-release capsule. I have to release them bit by bit so that my brain and body can absorb them safely. I wonder if this is the law of rebirth or the protection of Kindling?'
Aside from this, Meng Chao also noticed that mastering Perfect Level skills did not mean that they were truly perfect.
Awakening his previous life's memories could only help him obtain perfect consciousness.
His brain said, 'I have Perfect Level Gun Technique. It's super strong!'
His body said, 'No, you don't.'
That was probably what it was like.
'I rely on contribution points to increase my Skillfulness and get Perfect Level. Even if I can reach my nerve endings, there are still a lot of flaws in it. I need to continuously use it in real combat to achieve a high degree of unity between my mind and body.
'But I don't have cultivation resources, and I'm as hungry as a shrimp. I have to pant for a long time just to kill a Black Beetle. How am I supposed to fight?'
After going around in circles, he returned to his old problem. His family was poor …
'I have Kindling and my previous life's memories. My learning efficiency is much higher than other people's, but correspondingly, the amount of cultivation resources I need is five times or even more than that of a normal student. Where do I get these resources?
'It's not a long-term plan to rely on the study group to earn resources from other students. How much money can a student have? If I make it too ridiculous, the school won't allow it.
'Should I open a training class in society and teach Super Reckless Bull Force? Impossible. I need to have the qualifications and fame to open this sort of class. I need to register a company, advertise it, and hire a powerful person to be the spokesperson for the brand. Without at least a year and a half to develop the market and promote it, no one will come for me, a third-year high school student. Besides, I'll waste too much time. How am I supposed to take my national college examination? '
Meng Chao scratched his head in vexation.
The Black Beetle was cut into pieces, and the pungent smell of flammable adhesive liquid shot into the air. He suddenly found it a little familiar.
The sight of his father swinging the butcher's knife and cutting the monster into pieces stimulated the memories of his previous life, and they shone.
'Huh?'
Meng Chao noticed something.
Among the two new skills, Dragon Snake Force's exchange price was pretty normal, but Basic Harvesting Skill was very cheap!
Regardless of whether it was Reckless Bull Force, Dragon Snake Force, or Basic Gun Technique, they could only be exchanged for two to three thousand contribution points. It was the same as giving guidance to around one hundred normal citizens or killing more than one hundred monsters. This "price" was pretty reasonable.
As for Basic Harvesting Skill, it did not need three thousand, two thousand, or even one thousand contribution points. It only needed nine hundred and ninety-eight points!
'Is it really cheap because it's a support skill? Wait, I remember now. In my previous life, I seemed to have been a harvester with my dad for ten years!'
Meng Chao shut his eyes, and some scenes flashed in his mind.
In his previous life, his mother had been heavily injured by a superbeast, and he had failed his national college examination. To survive, to pay for his mother's medical fees, and for his younger sister's school fees, he had been brought into the profession by his father. During the Monster War, he had harvested countless monsters, and his skills were pretty good.
