Meng Chao and Lu Siya turned their heads around and saw Ye Xiaoxing rummaging through the drawer for a long time before he brought out a crumpled envelope. He took out a stack of documents and looked at them. "I heard that you and a few friends created a club called the Broken Star Club, right?"
Meng Chao was a little stunned.
The Broken Star Club had been set up at the beginning of the year.
Last year, when the Ultimate Style had just appeared, aside from Meng Chao, the main volunteers for the experiment were the students from society from Agricultural University's martial arts refresher course. They were led by Ma Hong, the scout from the Red Dragon Army.
Most of the members of the refresher course were broken-star superhumans.
They were pseudo-superhumans who had used too much strength when they awakened to supernatural abilities and lost control of their spirit energy. Most of their main meridians were burned.
Theoretically speaking, their cultivation speed was slow, and their upper limit was not high. It would be difficult for them to reach one-star superhumans in their lives, so they could be considered to be at the bottom of the superhuman circle.
The birth of the Ultimate Style could solve their urgent problem.
They could cultivate their branch meridians and quickly increase their fighting strength. Besides, the repeated stimulation and expansion of the branch meridians could nourish their main meridians, so the damaged and withered main meridians would gradually recover.
Hence, Ma Hong and the other broken-star superhumans threw themselves into the Ultimate Style experiments with 120% enthusiasm, and they gained different degrees of improvement.
Later, when the northern offense started, Ma Hong and the other soldiers returned to the Red Dragon Army and headed to the northern frontlines.
The powerful people who belonged to the mining groups, energy companies, and infrastructure companies also returned to their companies and became active in Shattered Starlake with different roles.
Their comrades and colleagues knew just how strong they were.
When they saw that their strength had increased by leaps and bounds after joining the refresher course for a few months, they were like completely different people. Many of the broken-star superhumans who were in the same boat as them were shocked.
Many of the refresher courses in universities were places for people to get their diplomas. They could not help a broken-star superhuman's fighting strength increase by leaps and bounds.
They did not expect that Agricultural University's martial arts refresher course would have real skills. They were envious and tempted.
Ma Hong and the others told them the truth. It was all thanks to the Ultimate Style.
And Meng Chao was just in time to shine brilliantly in Shattered Starlake. Regardless of whether it was the Ultimate Style's sparring session that was held every night or when he led the alliance of the five universities to win against Dragon City University in the interuniversity tournament, countless broken-star superhumans remembered Meng Chao and the Ultimate Style.
In the end, before the northern offense ended, the door to Agricultural University's martial arts course's refresher course was trampled to pieces by broken-star superhumans.
The power of role models was endless. After being stimulated by Ma Hong and the others, many of the broken-star superhumans wanted to learn from Gu Jianbo and Meng Chao.
Originally, the advanced course didn't require good results. As long as one could afford the tuition fee, it would be open to all.
The problem was that there were just too many broken-star superhumans who applied to join the lab. At that time, there was a limit to the number of Ultimate Style cultivation cabins in Lab 1024. Even if they worked twenty-four hours a day, it was impossible for them to support more than one hundred broken-star superhumans cultivating at the same time.
The refresher course tutor Gu Jianbo, the refresher course class rep Ma Hong, and Meng Chao, who was not part of the refresher course but was Gu Jianbo's only true disciple and was the one who pushed for the birth of the Ultimate Style. The three of them discussed for a long time, and at the same time they applied to the university to expand the refresher course, they created an organization called the Broken Star Club.
Just as its name implied, this was an organization for broken-star superhumans to socialize and socialize.
Its main goal was to share the Ultimate Style and their experiences in treating the withering of main meridians. They could also help coordinate when they could use the cultivation cabins for the Ultimate Style.
Of course, through the Broken Star Club, they could also gather more experimental data so that the Ultimate Style could continue evolving and become the strongest cultivation and fighting system.
There were no requirements to join the Broken Star Club. As long as the broken-star superhumans were willing to share their cultivation experiences with the others, they could join the club.
Since Gu Jianbo was not a broken-star superhuman, he did not join the club. He was just an honorary consultant.
Ma Hong was the class rep of the refresher course, and he had a lot of connections in the Red Dragon Army and society. Many of the broken-star superhumans were introduced to the club by him, so it was only natural that he became the club leader.
As for Meng Chao, everyone strongly requested for him to become the vice club leader. He was Gu Jianbo's true disciple and the key person who pushed for the birth of the Ultimate Style. Recently, he had been doing his best to spread the Ultimate Style in the northern frontlines, so he had contributed greatly and worked hard.
Besides, his feat of killing the Bloody Moon Wolf King during the practical test of the national college examination and becoming a broken-star superhuman was shocking and soul-stirring.
By then, there were very few broken-star superhumans in the city who did not know Meng Chao's name.
Meng Chao originally wanted to decline the offer. After all, he was just a freshman. Aside from cultivating, he was harvesting. After class, he had to suck up to various forces of power and solve the Mystery of the Supernatural Entities. He had never been a vice club leader before, and he did not have the time to do so either.
But Ma Hong told him that the Broken Star Club was formed for the sake of learning the Ultimate Style. Gu Jianbo could only be an honorary consultant due to his status, but Meng Chao was Big Brother Bo's founding disciple. If he did not take up an official position, it would be inexcusable.
Besides, the Broken Star Club only had a few hundred people. Its main mission was to help the people reserve the time to use the Ultimate Style's cultivation cabins. It was the same as an online queue and registration system. The club leader and vice club leader were not even high officials, so there was nothing they could not do about it.
Meng Chao thought about it and agreed to it.
Later on, the Broken Star Club did not have much business. It just hired someone to set up a website and set up a reservation system for the cultivation cabins. That solved the problem.
There were a few groups with thousands of people, and soon, they were filled to the brim.
The administrators were very responsible, and the broken-star superhumans in the group just joked around. They bragged about themselves, sent memes, and fought over pictures. Meng Chao did not care about them.
Ma Hong had a lot of missions in the Red Dragon Army, so he seldom had time to come to the refresher course. He also did not care about the matters of the Broken Star Club.
Besides, the various parties invested a lot of money and created a lot of brand new Ultimate Style cultivation cabins. It solved the problem of the broken-star superhumans having a hard time cultivating, so the Broken Star Club did not have anything to do with it.
Then, one day after Superstar Resource Recovery Corporation merged with Prosperous Resource Recovery Corporation, Qin Hu suddenly came to Meng Chao and told him that he wanted to be a director of the Broken Star Club.
Ever since he was impacted by the Red Radiance Jades and Blue Origin Crystals, Qin Hu's spirit energy stagnation problem had not been solved. His strength plummeted, and he was in an even worse state than the broken-star superhumans.
Meng Chao remembered that he had contributed by stopping the White Spirit and that he was the one who discovered the Blue Origin Crystal mine in his previous life, which indirectly saved him, so he introduced him to Gu Jianbo in hopes that he could use the Ultimate Style to solve Qin Hu's problem.
Qin Hu was very cooperative. He gritted his teeth and endured a lot of incredibly painful experiments.
Gu Jianbo also wanted to use the Ultimate Style to help a veteran fighter who had lost all his power reach Heaven Realm so that he could obtain more valuable experimental data.
He did his best to heal Qin Hu and used everything he had.
Unfortunately, things did not go according to his wishes. He tried hundreds of times, but Qin Hu did not manage to recover even a single strand of his spirit energy.
With Qin Hu's current condition, he could somewhat be considered a broken-star superhuman.
But the Broken Star Club was not some high-end organization. If Qin Hu wanted to join it, he could do so out of respect for Meng Chao. He could chat with a large number of broken-star superhumans and get rid of his gloominess.
In the end, he seemed to have discovered some sort of treasure in the Broken Star Club. He stayed in the group all day and chatted with a large number of broken-star superhumans. Meng Chao heard that he often treated them to meals.
Qin Hu was already quite famous in society.
He was the vice captain of Tiger Fang, and in the eyes of a Heaven Realm superhuman who came from a rich family, he was nothing.
But most of the broken-star superhumans came from poor families. They did not have any background or resources, or else, they would not have lost control and been injured when they awakened.
He was a superhuman at the peak of Earth Realm in the past, but he was in the same boat as everyone else. Besides, Qin Hu also came from a poor family and had just gotten a small sum of money from under Raging Waves. He had a lot of money, and when he gathered with the broken-star superhumans, he treated money like dirt. Soon, he gained the favor of many of them.
Hence, when he told Meng Chao that he had already obtained the support of many broken-star superhumans, including Ma Hong, Meng Chao did not doubt it.
But Meng Chao could not understand it. The Broken Star Club was not a mega corporation that made a lot of money every day, nor was it a powerful organization that could do whatever it wanted. It was just a loose public welfare organization. In fact, it did not even have the title of director. Why was Qin Hu so enthusiastic? Why did he join in the fun? Was he trying to contribute to the large number of broken-star superhumans?
"Look at you. You're the only one who can contribute, but I'm not allowed to serve the public?"
Qin Hu said in a wronged manner. "I've lost all my power now, and I'm useless. It's impossible for me to become a hunter, and no superhuman fighting squad is willing to take me in. You've already taken over my company, and I'm not interested in fighting against your father for the control of the company. You have to allow me to find some entertainment to kill time, right?
"Yes, I have money, but the tigress at home is very strict. Even if I have money, I have nowhere to spend it. Your Teacher Gu has used all kinds of torture on me hundreds of times, but I don't even have the slightest sign of recovery. If I'm going to be like this for the rest of my life, won't I suffocate to death?
"The Broken Star Club itself is nothing, but these broken-star superhumans … Heh, they come from all walks of life, and they're from all walks of life. When I listen to them talk about the inside workings of various industries, including the secrets of the streets and alleys in Dragon City, and even the legendary stories from decades ago, it's really interesting. I love listening to them, and I'm addicted to them. If I become a director and set up a club, everyone can gather together once in a while to eat and chat. Is there a problem with that?"
"It's precisely because there's no problem that it seems like there's a problem."
Meng Chao remembered what he said at that time. "Mr. Hu, you're a person who won't wake up if there's nothing to gain. It's not as simple as eating and chatting, right? How much money do you need to spend to set up a club?"
"What are you doing? Are you suspecting that I'm trying to get some money from it? I just got a lot of mining rights for the Red Radiance Jade mine from Lu Siya. Do you think I'm lacking in money? "
Qin Hu did not know whether he should laugh or cry. "Besides, the Broken Star Club isn't a company or an organization. It doesn't have a single cent in its account. Even if I want to get some money, how am I supposed to do it?
"I'll tell you the truth. I don't want a single cent. I'll use my own money to set up a club and contribute to the large number of broken-star superhumans. Is that okay with you?"
Meng Chao scratched his head for a long time.
Even though he thought that Qin Hu was just trying to please him for no reason, he had to be hiding something.
But when he thought about it carefully, half of Qin Hu's wealth came from Prosperous, which was bought by Superstar. Meng Chao had full control over his money flow.
The other half came from Lu Siya's mining rights for the Red Radiance Jades. It was not something that Qin Hu could take just because he wanted to.
He could run, but he could not run. If Qin Hu really had any ill intentions, Meng Chao had plenty of ways to deal with him.
If he wanted to be the director of the Broken Star Club, Meng Chao would let him be. As long as he did not use the Broken Star Club's name to swindle others, it would be fine. Even if he did, Meng Chao did not have to be afraid. Qin Hu's wealth was definitely enough to compensate him. Besides, Meng Chao believed that Qin Hu, who had lost all his power, would not be so stupid.
In Meng Chao's eyes, the director of the Broken Star Club was not even a position that was as high as the tip of a needle.
But Qin Hu worked very hard. He ran around all day, and no one knew what he was busy with.
By the looks of it, he still could not get used to the life of a normal person.
There were a few times when he came to report to Meng Chao, the vice club leader, seriously.
Meng Chao's head was filled with the Mystery of the Supernatural Entities, so he did not have the time to talk nonsense with him.
He did not expect that he would hear Ye Xiaoxing mention the Broken Star Club, and Meng Chao could not help but feel his heart tense.
