"About that …"
Qin Hu scratched his beard and fell into deep thought. "I didn't have any other plans. I just wanted to rebuild Frenzied Saber. With this miracle, I could definitely reach Heaven Realm, and I would also have 10% priority in mining. I would also have Lu Siya, who's a golden coattail. I would definitely be able to make the new Frenzied Saber stronger than before.
"But now that you mentioned it, I think you're right. I'm married, and I'm an upright person. I have a harmonious family, so it wouldn't be appropriate for me to ride Lu Siya's coattail.
"But you're different. You're Lin Chuan's junior brother, and your background, experiences, and other aspects are similar to his. You're also the same type of person he acknowledged. In a certain sense, you can be his substitute.
"Even a blind person can see Lu Siya's feelings for Lin Chuan. Now that Lin Chuan is dead, Lu Siya's coattail is really empty and lonely. You can use this chance to enter her coattail. I'll provide her with technical guidance, and we'll definitely become her right-hand men. We might even help her seize control of Sky Pillar Corporation. Then, she'll be able to rise to power!"
Meng Chao stared at Qin Hu expressionlessly.
Qin Hu's face was covered by his beard, so Meng Chao did not know whether he was red or not. He coughed dryly and said, "Don't look at me like that. I'm just pointing you in the right direction. If you get Lu Siya, you'll be able to reduce your cultivation time by twenty years. When we become the right-hand men of the boss of Sky Pillar Corporation, we'll be able to live a good life and earn real money …"
"Do you really like talking about money that much?" Meng Chao could not help but ask.
"If I don't talk about money, what should I talk about? Ideals?"
Qin Hu snorted disdainfully. He paused for a moment before he said earnestly, "Little Brother, I'm not a narrow-minded person. Let's leave all the things we did in the past underground. Whoever brings it up again is a bastard." Right now, I'm really thinking for you, so I'd advise you not to be too extreme.
"Lin Chuan's sacrifice was very heroic, but it doesn't mean that there's nothing wrong with his thoughts. In truth, most of the powerful fighters in Dragon City are pretty good. Once they obtained cultivation resources, they did everything they could to fight for Dragon City, including me. When I needed to earn money, I earned it, and when I had to risk my life, I didn't hesitate, did I?
"Because of his personal experience, Lin Chuan was forced into a corner. In the end, he came to a realization. Don't be affected by him and take things too far!"
"I admit that most of the superhumans in Dragon City right now, including the Deity Realm superhumans who fought their way here from the dark era, can be considered heroes, and that includes … you, Mr. Hu."
Meng Chao thought about it. "But what about their next generation, third generation, and fourth generation? "If the gap between the strong and the weak continues widening, I believe that in just a few decades, Dragon City will change beyond recognition. At that time, it will be too late for us to change!"
"That's something that will happen decades later. Who would think that far into the future? Perhaps at that time, we'll have already conquered the entire Other World and cleared the path back to Earth."
Qin Hu laughed. "Besides, there are plenty of intelligent higher-ups in Dragon City. They will definitely think of these problems and solve them appropriately. No matter what, it's not up to a fledgling like you to worry about them."
"Do you think that I'm overestimating myself and worrying about nothing?" Meng Chao asked.
"A little, but it's normal. All young people are like that. When I was young, I worried about the country and the people just like you."
Qin Hu grinned. "Haven't you heard that joke before? Teenagers think about the fate of the universe, the meaning of civilization, and the future of Earth. Teenagers in their twenties think about the rise and fall of the country and Dragon City's strategies. Middle-Aged men in their thirties think about how to get rich overnight, marry rich people's daughters, and become the CEO of a company. When they reach their forties, it'll be enough if they can live comfortably or just make do with their lives.
"Trust me, you're just too young. It hasn't been long since you got rid of your status as a normal person. You're not used to the world of superhumans, and you haven't been beaten up by society. That's why you're conflicted. You want to save normal people to satisfy your cheap hero complex.
"When you reach my age, you'll understand that it's already pretty good for humans to take care of themselves and their families. As for the normal people who have nothing to do with us, they'll just have to pray for their own good!"
Meng Chao stared at Qin Hu for a while before he shook his head and said seriously, "I won't. Even if I reach your age, I won't end up like this."
"It doesn't matter. We'll see."
Qin Hu shrugged. "In any case, you've gained the most benefits from the explosion of the Red Radiance Jade mine. Lu Siya and the other forces of power will definitely place more importance on you and continue investing in you. You'll definitely have a meteoric rise and stand out!
"So, if you have any good projects that can make you rich or make you famous, just come and look for me. Regardless of whether it's your business or something else, I'll definitely help you.
"As for the others … Helping normal people, building small schools, fighting against the rich and powerful mega corporations, solving the schemes hidden behind the White Spirit, and other things that are arduous and thankless. I'll support you in spirit!"
Meng Chao frowned again. "I really don't understand. You seem to have a really deep prejudice against normal people."
"I don't have any prejudice against normal people who work hard, but these normal people usually end up becoming superhumans."
Qin Hu pursed his lips. "In the past, I was empty-handed. I didn't even know my next meal, and my pockets kept jingling. I still started from nothing and reached the peak of Earth Realm. No, I reached Heaven Realm at any moment!
"Since I can do it, why can't the normal people you speak of? They're either stupid or lazy, but most of them are stupid and lazy. Hmph, I've seen plenty of these people in the past. They don't train hard, and when they're on the battlefield, they only know how to cry. Once I become a superhuman, they come over to threaten me with morals and shamelessly say things like 'the stronger you are, the greater your responsibility'. They're just trying to trick me into working for them! "
When he heard this, Meng Chao could not help but say, "Mr. Hu, your situation in the past was different from now. Dragon City was still in chaos. Even though there were dangers everywhere, there were also fortuitous encounters everywhere. As long as you were brave, careful, and willing to risk your life, it was easy for you to get cultivation resources.
"But the youngsters today, no matter how hard they work, if they don't have a good father —"
"Stop, you've already hit the nail on the head. It's their fault for not having a good father. You can't blame me for that, right? I'm not their father! "
Qin Hu cut Meng Chao off. He stuck up his thumb and jabbed his chest. "In any case, I only believe in one thing. I used my abilities and risked my life to earn money, power, and status. I did it openly and openly, and I, my wife, and my children could enjoy it however they wanted.
"If normal people can't accept it, they can also risk their lives and learn from us. They can explore the underground and fight against fierce beasts. They can run while being chased by the spirit energy tsunami and suffer in the mines!
"If they're stupid, lazy, and afraid of death, then there's nothing they can do about it. They can just be normal people for the rest of their lives and slowly endure it. This world is just that fair! Hahahaha!"
Qin Hu threw his head back and laughed.
Both of his hairy legs were dangling outside the medical cabin.
At that moment, a few people in white coats pushed open the door and entered.
"Doctor, how's my condition?" Meng Chao could not be bothered to talk nonsense with Qin Hu anymore. He stood up from the medical cabin.
"Meng Chao, you're doing really well," one of the people in white coats said with a smile.
"Your cell activity and spirit energy value have both surpassed the normal values for a two-star superhuman. Besides, we've noticed that there are hundreds of branch meridians and dozens of main meridians in your body, including the most important dragon meridians around your spine. They're gradually showing signs of crystallization, and they've turned into crystal meridians.
"This is a very rare phenomenon. You've already recovered, and you can enter new cultivation and fights at any moment. I believe that you will shine brilliantly in the near future!"
Meng Chao released a long sigh. "Thank you, doctor."
The person in the white coat waved his hand and turned around to face Qin Hu.
"Doctor, what about me?"
Qin Hu's eyes burned with desire when he heard that, and he asked eagerly, "Young … bro, you're already able to shine brilliantly. When can I resume my cultivation? Have I reached Heaven Realm? Why is it that after lying in the medical cabin for so long, my limbs are still numb and my joints are stiff? It's as if there's something blocking my meridians. I'm full of energy, but I can't use it. Is this a normal phenomenon when you reach Heaven Realm? Or am I about to reach the legendary super Heaven Realm? "
"Um …"
The people in white coats looked at each other, and they had troubled expressions on their faces.
"Mr. Qin, calm down first. Take a deep breath and try to relax. This is what's going on with your condition.
"You should know that cultivation isn't something as simple and crude as absorbing a large amount of spirit energy into your body and turning it into your cultivation realm and fighting strength, right?
"It's just like how you eat too much high-calorie food in one go and ignore your digestive and absorption limits. You'll end up with indigestion and even your intestines will rupture.
"That's right. When the spirit energy tsunami attacked you, you did indeed absorb a large amount of energy from the Red Radiance Jades and Blue Origin Crystals. That energy filled up all the spirit meridians in your body.
"But since you were heavily injured at that time, your organs were close to failing, and your cell activity was at its lowest. That's why you didn't absorb the spirit energy. Instead, it crystallized in your body, and all of them … were blocked.
"That's why your limbs have been numb over the past few days, and your joints are stiff. You have strength, but you can't use it.
"Based on the series of examinations and evaluations we performed just now, aside from the fact that your body is slightly stronger than that of a normal person, your mobility and fighting strength … are not that different from a rather strong normal person."
Qin Hu's smile stiffened a little.
"Wh-What do you mean?"
He stuttered. "I don't study much, so I don't understand these professional terms. Doctor, just tell me when I can recover my cultivation and reach Heaven Realm!"
The doctors looked at each other again.
"It's hard to say. We've never run into a situation like yours, Meng Chao, and Ms. Lu's, and you're the most troublesome among the three of you," the doctor said cautiously.
"We don't know how to get rid of the stagnant spirit energy in your body. With Dragon City's current medical standards, any radical plan might cause the mini Red Radiance Jade mine to explode in your body again. You'll go through spirit energy deviation and die from your body exploding.
"So, our suggestion is for you to calm down and wait for a period of time. Perhaps as your vitality magnetic field surges, the stagnant spirit energy will slowly dissolve on its own. At that time, not only will you reach Heaven Realm in one go, you might even be able to reach five-star superhumans in one go and witness a miracle!"
Qin Hu scratched his beard for a long time. "How long is a period of time?"
"If I'm optimistic, I might be able to dissolve it on its own in three to five days and reach Heaven Realm."
"What if I'm not optimistic?"
"If I'm not optimistic, how about three to five months, a year, or three to five years?"
"Three to five years? Why don't you say one hundred and eighty years?! "
"One hundred and eighty years is also possible."
"…"
"Mister Qin, Mister Qin, are you alright?"
"I-I'm fine, doctor. Let's say that the worst case scenario is that the stagnant spirit energy can't be dissolved even after one hundred and eighty years. What will happen to me then?"
"Nothing much. It shouldn't be life-threatening. At most, I won't be able to use supernatural abilities and will be a normal person for the rest of my life."
