Meng Chao used his sincerity and friendliness to cleverly resolve the conflict between him and his classmates.
It also destroyed the rumors of him not having enough stamina and strength.
The next morning, when the sky was just turning bright, Duan Lian brought the nine challengers to their lecturers and told them that they accepted their loss wholeheartedly. Meng Chao definitely had the right to represent Agricultural University's martial arts course and let the monsters experience his despicableness — no, his wisdom.
And Meng Chao's rich fighting experience gave them great inspiration. The Ultimate Style, which had just been born, had value in researching it. When they were on the battlefield, they would definitely learn from Meng Chao.
The matter of the name list for the war was solved perfectly.
There were still three days before they would be mobilized. Meng Chao and his classmates could finally have a break and go home to see their family.
Everything went smoothly at home.
His mother received the first phase of treatment in Fengshui Medical Center. She was injected with a cell growth serum refined from superbeast flesh and blood. Doctor Su Yuan also had to use spirit energy to enter her nerves and bones to stimulate her cells every day, so her legs recovered very quickly. She could now cast aside her crutches and leg braces and walk around with light footsteps.
Meng Chao's sister was in the middle of her third year of high school. Apparently, she had improved very quickly and got the highest marks in the school twice in a row. She had high hopes of getting into one of the three super high schools.
Meng Chao's father's resource recovery company was also becoming more and more popular. It was all thanks to Meng Chao predicting that the scale of the Monster War would increase and getting an investment through Thunderbolt and Yan Organization. He managed to get a lot of harvesters and even bought four mobile collection trucks and refrigerated trucks.
In the beginning, some of his colleagues laughed at Meng Yishan for not knowing how to spend his money. But now, there were too many of them, and the monsters in the city were gradually gone. If he needed more manpower and equipment, in less than half a year, he would definitely suffer a huge loss.
When the scale of the northern offense increased and the Survival Committee released the shocking news of building a new area, monster carcasses were sent back to the city nonstop from the frontlines. All the resource recovery companies were frustrated that they did not get more manpower, and all the harvesters wanted to grow four hands. At that time, they were envious and impressed by Meng Yishan's "foresight".
Soon, Superstar Resource Recovery Company rose to fame in the field.
Meng Yishan was so busy every day that he hit the back of his head with his feet, but when a person was happy, he was in high spirits. Right then, he looked ten years younger than a few months ago, and he was much more carefree compared to the distressed man Meng Chao remembered from his previous life.
They still sat around the small living room and dining table in the public renting house, but the dishes on the table had become much better. There was even a supreme-grade sausage steamed with snapping turtle eggs that had superbeast blood added. It was so fragrant that it was a little pungent.
The family was happy and harmonious as they listened to Meng Chao talk about his experiences in university.
"My classmates are very friendly, and they're very nice to me. There's a big guy called Duan Lian, and he keeps crying and begging me to be his friend.
"I'm just popular. There's nothing I can do about it.
"Tutor? Of course, he's the best. My tutor is strong, has a noble personality, and is handsome. He's a pillar of support in the martial arts course. If I follow him, I'll definitely have a bright future! "
His words gradually put the family at ease.
However, the next piece of news made his mother's expression change.
"What? You're going to the frontlines as well?" Bai Suxin asked worriedly. "You're just a freshman. Why are you going to the frontlines? During the practical test of the national college examination, you were sent into the depths of the fog to fight against the Bloody Moon Wolf King. You were bitten half to death, and I was scared half to death. It's just been a few days, and you've already forgotten your lesson?!"
"Mom, these are two different things. Last time, it was an accident. More than one hundred muddle-headed college examinees had to face hundreds of Bloody Moon Wolves, so of course it was dangerous," Meng Chao quickly explained.
"But the scale of the northern offense this time is huge. You should have seen the news. The Red Dragon Army has sent a few elite squads, and the Supernatural Tower has also sent nearly ten Deity Realm superhumans. Agricultural University isn't the only one. All the universities, including Dragon City University, are going to provide reinforcements to the battlefield. They're going to develop, build, and defend the new area.
"Humanity's steel army is surging forward. There's no monster that can stop us. If I go with the army, I'll be able to practice my fighting skills, increase my knowledge, earn cultivation resources, and form connections. Compared to the benefits, the risks aren't worth mentioning. Mom, don't worry! "
In truth, Meng Chao knew that the northern offense this time would not go smoothly.
But he could not tell the truth, or else his mother would not let him go.
"Suxin, our son isn't a normal person. Since he became a superhuman, he has to climb to the top."
Meng Yishan wandered about society, so he knew more information. "Besides, this time, the entire city has been mobilized. Even normal harvesters like us have to be constantly prepared to go to the borders of the city to provide support. Our son is an undergraduate student, and he can enjoy a lot of cultivation resources. It's only natural that he has to bear his own responsibilities.
"Don't worry. He managed to kill a Bloody Moon Wolf King during his national college examination. This time, he'll definitely be able to turn this disaster into a blessing and create a new miracle!"
Bai Suxin also knew that when a child grew up, his mother would not be able to control him. With the environment in Dragon City, it was impossible for superhumans to hide at home and hatch eggs.
She sighed in resignation. "Why did they suddenly say that they're going to set up a new area? Is it because of the chaos during the national college examination this year? Wait another two years, and when you graduate from university and become stronger, you can expand outward. That would be great! "
"We can't wait anymore. Regardless of whether there's any chaos during the national college examination this year, the government will still expand outward."
Bai Jiacao, who had been eating with her head lowered, suddenly looked up and licked the rice at the corners of her lips. She grinned and said, "If you want to blame someone, blame your big brother's Agricultural University!"
"What's with that?" Bai Suxin could not understand it.
"Because Agricultural University has developed a lot of really powerful 3D farms, gene modifications, and artificial food technology. They provide us with a lot of food!"
Bai Jiacao said matter-of-factly. "Around thirty years ago, Dragon City was facing the most danger. At that time, the old principal of Agricultural University, Jin Zhenglin, invented a lot of new technology and completely solved the food crisis. Earthworm meat turned into luncheon meat and all sorts of sticky and synthetic canned food. They might not taste good, but they definitely have enough calories.
"Since food isn't a problem and we lost a lot of people in the war, to protect Dragon City and continue our civilization, humans naturally have to work hard. Every family has three to five children, and it's normal for them to have six to eight children. Some families even have more than ten children.
"Our family only gave birth to one child because Mom's legs were injured, and Dad doted on Mom. But my classmates all have three to five siblings at home, and they're all alive and kicking.
"That's right. Our agricultural technology is already so developed that it's like a beehive. We can plant all sorts of high-calorie crops hundreds of meters underground and hundreds of meters above ground. We can even provide energy for more than one hundred million people.
"But there's a problem. Humans aren't pigs. They won't be satisfied with just eating and drinking.
"Let's not talk about the lack of housing for now. The serious lack of jobs is what's even worse.
"You have to understand, cities are born to suck blood from the areas around them. Then, they dump their industrial products and all sorts of services to the areas around them. That's the only way they can provide for more than ten million people in a small area that's tens of thousands of square kilometers.
"On Earth, Dragon City relied on the raw materials, technology, population, and markets from the provinces around it. In fact, it relied on the whole country and the whole world to maintain its scale.
"When we transmigrate to the Other World, we'll only have a city with tens of millions of people. We won't have a larger raw material base and a dumping market, so we won't have that many jobs.
"Over the past few decades, when we faced a crisis of survival, everyone gritted their teeth and endured it. They ate sticky canned food every day and slept in bunk beds with four or five floors. As long as they could survive, they would do anything.
"But now, their lives are getting better day by day, and the number of youngsters who have nothing to do has increased by ten times. The monster crisis is gradually getting over, so people naturally want to live better lives. They want more decent jobs, bigger living spaces, and fresh, real food.
"It's impossible to solve the problem of tens of millions of youngsters' jobs within Dragon City. What should we do? We can only expand outwards and build new areas.
"If we do that, we can solve part of the problems of the Red Dragon Army's expansion, the construction of the new areas, and the mining of new mines. Once the new areas are mostly digested, we can colonize the wider Other World. We'll be using war to sustain war. We have no other choice but to do this.
"So, Mom, stop grumbling. This is the general trend of Dragon City. Forget about Big Brother, in two years, I'll definitely be dragged into it as well. I'll have to ride the waves!"
Once she finished speaking, she noticed that the entire family was staring at her with their mouths wide open.
"What? Is there something on my face?" Bai Jiacao touched her face with a puzzled expression.
"I noticed that you've learned a lot since you entered the third year of middle school. I feel like you're an adult now!" Meng Chao said in disbelief.
"Lately, Xiaocao has changed a lot. She seems to be growing every day, and she often says shocking things. I almost can't understand what she's saying," Bai Suxin said.
"I only know that the girl's appetite has increased. Every day, she brings back two heavy bags of monster meat from the company. I'm panting, but it's not enough for her to eat," Meng Yishan said happily. Bai Jiacao's face turned red.
"It's not like I only eat and don't train. I just feel like I've become much stronger recently. My saber techniques, gun techniques, and strength often shock the teachers. All the boys in the school can't win against me." Also, I can memorize most of the contents of a book after I read it once. That includes the news and some of the news online. With just a casual glance, I can imprint it into my head. If I'm not careful, I can say things like that just now.
"Could it be that I'm one of those legendary geniuses?"
The girl puffed out her chest and swung her fists in the air excitedly.
Meng Chao's smile was a little stiff.
'Is … My sister's Night Demon Blood about to take effect?'
Meng Yishan took a sip of wine and said with a sigh, "I didn't expect that a fool like me would have a fool like me. I actually managed to raise two geniuses in my family!"
"It has nothing to do with you. It's mainly because of Mom. I inherited Mom's intelligence."
Bai Jiacao stuck her tongue out at Meng Yishan. "Dad, did you know that when Mom was young, she was even more of a genius than I am now?!"
"Huh?"
Meng Yishan and Bai Suxin were both stunned.
Meng Chao did not understand what Bai Jiacao meant either.
"It's true. Even I was shocked. I didn't expect that Mom would be so good when she was young."
Bai Jiacao patted her head and turned around to her room to bring out a rusty metal box. "By the way, I haven't had the time to tell you, Mom. When you went to the hospital in the afternoon, I was bored, so I found this in the partition in the corner under the bed. It's something you put in there a long time ago. Did you forget about it?"
