Meng Yishan's eyes lit up, but he was also a little worried. "It's not easy to get into college. Are you really confident? Sigh, nowadays, the social atmosphere is getting worse and worse. If it was ten or twenty years ago, there wouldn't be people like Shen Rongfa and Qin Hu! "
Meng Chao understood what his father meant.
When Dragon City had just transmigrated, even though it lacked resources, the environment was bad, and the pressure to survive was great, the social atmosphere was very pure. The citizens' spirits shone like gold, and everyone worked together to fight. No matter what work they did, the only difference was the division of labor.
At that time, people like "Zuo Haoran, Shen Rongfa, and Qin Hu" were few and far between. Whoever dared to have special privileges, show off their might, and put on airs would be like a rat crossing the street, and everyone would want to beat them up.
However, it was human nature to "share hardships, but not riches".
Over the past ten years, the number of monsters had decreased, and their lives had become richer. The threat to their survival was no longer around. When the fog scattered, Dragon City's steel army could sweep through the entire Other World, just like how the colonists in the past used hundreds of muskets to conquer the entire continent.
The general mood of society gradually became impetuous.
Many of the Extraordinaires in their forties or fifties gave birth to their second generation. Many Extraordinaire families started to appear, and the social strata gradually solidified. All sorts of bad habits from Earth surfaced once more.
The rich second generation bullying others, the insider trading in the Survival Committee, the extravagant lifestyle of the Transcendent families … None of this was news.
Zuo Haoran, Shen Rongfa, and Qin Hu were just the epitome of this impetuous era.
Meng Chao could vaguely remember that due to the internal conflicts in Dragon City, when they faced the Other World civilizations in the future, they suffered a lot.
When the Earthlings noticed that the Other World was not as simple as it seemed and they faced a crisis of survival again, everyone became united again. Unfortunately, not all cracks could be mended with enough time.
"It's precisely because there are a lot of pests who ate away at Dragon City from the inside that the Extraordinary Disaster suffered a crushing defeat."
Meng Chao could not help but think about it. 'If I can slap these people in the face and completely get rid of their impetuousness and arrogance, wouldn't that be considered as maintaining social harmony and promoting the rise of civilization? Wouldn't that be a great contribution?'
It wasn't easy for him to ease his father's heart, but there was another surprise.
[Special citizen Bai Jiacao (Dark Witch). Lowered possibility of being corrupted by 2%. Increased contribution points by 200.]
'That's right. There are two major reasons why my younger sister turned evil in my previous life. The first was that my mother was heavily injured by monsters, and the second was that my father was deceived by Shen Rongfa.
Now that the two "landmines" had been eliminated, wouldn't the probability of him being corrupted be reduced?
Meng Chao smiled, but his smile suddenly became a little stiff. "Wait, this time, it's 2%, and the last time, it's 3%. You cleared two landmines, and you only managed to reduce Bai Jiacao's chances of being corrupted by 5%?
"So, it has nothing to do with external factors. The darkness of society and loopholes in the law are all excuses. This damned girl is a natural witch, right?"
Meng Chao gritted his teeth. When he returned home, he shook the girl awake.
It was half past five in the morning. The little girl was sleeping soundly when she was suddenly woken up. She was about to throw a tantrum.
Meng Chao's face was full of smiles as he gently said, "Xiaocao, I brought back some delicious food for you. Do you want to eat?"
Bai Jiacao's eyes immediately sparkled. "I'll eat! Of course I'll eat! Long live Big Brother!"
"Come on. Drink it in one gulp. It's sweet and delicious." Meng Chao pulled out the ring of a tube of concentrated nutritional fluid.
The girl did not know what was going on. She drank it in one gulp, and her eyes suddenly widened to the size of goose eggs. Just as she was about to spit it out, Meng Chao pinched her nose and forced her to swallow it.
"Ah! What's this?! It's so bitter! It's so bitter!" The girl stuck out her tongue and clutched her throat while she rolled around on the bed.
"This is called Powerful Calming and Brain Nourishing Fluid. It's a high-grade medicine created by Thunderbolt. It can stimulate the activity of brain cells and promote the growth of the central nervous system. It can also increase your mental strength. It's the best for teenagers like you, who are always thinking about something." Meng Chao smiled.
Just now, he had asked Ning Shewo about cultivation resources. Ning Shewo had recommended two sets of medicine that Thunderbolt used to train new members based on his and Bai Jiacao's different situations. It was very helpful for cultivation, and it was also mild. There were no side effects, and it could not be bought on the market.
The only flaw was that it was a little … bitter.
Usually, they had to create a rather sweet drink to go with it.
But Meng Chao had been busy nourishing his little sister, so he forgot about it!
"Mom, Big Brother is bullying me again!" Bai Jiacao screamed.
"What's wrong?" When Bai Suxin heard her daughter's screams, she limped out of the house.
"Mom, keep this medicine. When I'm not home in the future, keep an eye on Jiacao and make sure she drinks it every day." Meng Chao brought out a week's worth of cultivation medicine for middle school students from his bag and explained in words that his mother could understand. "Once she drinks this, she can get into a key high school. And it's very expensive. One bottle costs a few hundred!"
"One bottle costs a few hundred?" Bai Suxin was shocked. In an instant, she shared the same hatred as her son. "Then I'll definitely make your little sister drink it all. Not a single drop will be left!"
Bai Jiacao was speechless.
Her dumbfounded expression amused Meng Chao. "Alright, stop pouting.
"Alright, don't pout. Big brother really brought back delicious food for you." He brought out a few instant food packs that Thunderbolt used to fight in the wild. The monster jerky inside was surprisingly good.
"You didn't poison it, right?" Bai Jiacao looked wary.
"No."
"You didn't put any laxatives in it either?" The girl was still hesitant.
"If you don't want to eat it, fine. I'll eat it myself."
"Who said I won't eat it? At least you still have a conscience." The future Dark Witch quickly snatched it and tore open the packaging. She took a deep sniff, and her eyes instantly turned into crescent moons.
While she was happily eating, Meng Chao briefly told her what happened in the middle of the night, including how he had mostly recovered.
Of course, the source of his strength was the teachings from the abnormal people in the deep web.
"What?!" Bai Jiacao cried out in surprise. "You're still going on those unhealthy websites?"
Meng Chao felt gloomy. "Why do you have the same reaction as Dad? I told you that life science forums aren't unhealthy websites. Besides, you're still young. Do you even know what an unhealthy website is?"
"I know. Sometimes, when I walk past your room at night, I hear you reading something through the crack in the door. You say something like 'the best in Dragon City …'"
Meng Chao stuffed her mouth with a large lump of monster jerky.
He coughed dryly. "In any case, the crystalized neurosphere tells us that we have to be like Dad and Big Brother. We have to be upright, honest, and kind. Only good people will be rewarded.
"Also, we have to believe in the government and the law. We have to believe that most superhumans are good people.
"Qin Hu is so powerful, so why didn't he dare to do anything to me, who's a weak high school student who can't even truss a chicken? It's because there's the law, the Supernatural Tower, and all of Dragon City supporting Big Brother. At the same time, they also support all the normal people and millions of citizens.
"So, if you run into anything, don't waste your time. You have to give the law a chance, understand?"
Bai Jiacao was confused. She only cared about eating until her mouth was covered in grease.
Meng Chao sighed. "Oh well, I can't explain it clearly in a short period of time. In any case, don't cause trouble. If someone bullies you, immediately come back and tell me. I'll help you take revenge one hundred times over. If you want to bully someone else, come back and tell me. I'll help you torture them until they cry for their parents."
The future Dark Witch immediately raised her hand. "What if you're the one who bullies me?"
Meng Chao thought about it and comforted her. "Then, just bear with it. You'll get used to it."
…
Once Meng Chao ate the egg buns his mother made and took a nap for half an hour, he went to school.
Even though there were still some monster carcasses left in the residential area and the air was filled with a pungent smell, the residents still returned to their normal lives.
The uncles and aunties came out to train early in the morning, and the children could be seen playing and giggling.
Breakfast stalls were set up at the entrance of the market. The crackling of potstickers, fried dumplings, and omelettes on metal pans could be heard. The owner and the customers laughed and chatted with each other, and they turned into fireworks in the world. They were like the sturdiest shield that blocked the presence of monsters.
Meng Chao ran into Granny Wang in front of the unit.
The old woman held her biochemical pet and hummed a popular song from when she was young. She had a kind expression on her face, and she did not look like she had swung a shotgun the night before.
"Granny Wang, are you still walking your dog today?" Meng Chao greeted her.
"What's wrong with me today? It's just a few bugs in the residential area. There's no way I won't be able to walk my dog when they're huge monsters. "Granny Wang glared at Meng Chao, and her voice was full of vigor.
Meng Chao smiled.
That's right. It did not matter whether it was zombies, monsters, or the monsters in the future.
