Gu Jianbo was a little tempted by his wife's words.
He had spent ten years of hard work, sacrificed his best friend's life, and wasted his youth to finally develop the Ultimate Style. Of course he wanted to build his own sect and make the Ultimate Style shine.
If he wanted to build his own sect, the most important thing was to have a lot of people!
If the hundreds of thousands of broken-star superhumans in the city could all practice the Ultimate Style, Zong Ye's spirit in heaven would definitely be delighted.
It would not be easy for him to push this matter forward quickly within the system of Agricultural University's martial arts course.
After all, the refresher course had to grow from hundreds of people to thousands or even tens of thousands of people within a year and a half, and they needed teachers, equipment, and space.
But if they used the name of the Broken Star Club and operated outside the system of Agricultural University's martial arts course, it would be much more suitable for them to provide great support.
As time passed, the couple started talking about Meng Chao.
Even now, they still found it unbelievable. Meng Chao was practically a lucky star who fell from the sky. Ever since he came to Agricultural University, the development of the Ultimate Style and his relationship with Gu Jianbo and his wife improved by leaps and bounds, and he obtained substantial breakthroughs.
In just half a year, the Ultimate Style had obtained unexpected results. The couple got back together, and the Broken Star Club was starting to take shape.
When he said that he wanted to challenge Dragon City University's martial arts course, it was no longer a wild boast.
After a few more years, who knew what sort of ruckus Meng Chao would cause?
"You can be considered to have taken in this true disciple."
That was Li Yingzi's comment.
"Of course. You're a man who has a good eye for talent."
Gu Jianbo smiled so much that his eyes turned into slits. He forgot that he had been hiding his identity in front of Meng Chao in the past.
Since his true disciple was amazing, his personal tutor naturally had to give him full support. Agricultural University was known as Monster University, and its overall strength was only second to Dragon City University. The martial arts course was also a powerful course, so when Gu Jianbo and Li Yingzi mobilized their strength, it was quite astonishing.
With the two of them protecting and adding fuel to the fire, on the day of the inauguration ceremony of the Ultimate Style's headquarters, quite a number of powerful fighters whose might shocked Dragon City came to watch the ceremony. The media also gathered in the hall, and thousands of broken-star superhumans came to show their support. The place was really lively.
Gu Jianbo's "honorary consultant" was upgraded to "honorary president," and he personally cut the ribbon.
Black Tortoise Zong Yue from Agricultural University's martial arts course might not have come personally, but he had written the words Broken Star Club in bold calligraphy. He asked Gu Jianbo to pass it to Meng Chao and encourage him and all the broken-star superhumans to continue working hard so that they could take another step down their path of superhumans and contribute even more to Dragon City.
Xuan Wu Zong Yue was an Immortal State Overlord.
These three large words were carved into a plaque using a high-grade crystal and hung at the entrance of the headquarters. The standard was extremely high.
With the sponsorship from Gu Jianbo, Li Yingzi, Qin Hu, Yan Hengbo, Lu Siya, and the others, along with the one million Supernatural Coins and one hundred cultivation cabins donated by the mysterious person behind the abnormal beast research department, the Broken Star Club did not lack money for the time being.
To a certain extent, Meng Chao was a person who lived by the moment. In his mind, even if he accumulated a lot of wealth, when the apocalypse arrived, he would still be reduced to ashes.
It would be better for him to exchange all his money for resources and turn all his resources into fighting power. Then, even if the apocalypse really arrived, he would be able to fight against it for a while longer.
Hence, he spent a lot of money on the buffet in the Broken Star Club and bought the freshest and best quality monster ingredients to cook. As the heir of Superstar, he was in a favorable position, and it was much more convenient for him to get monster meat that was even more nutritious and filled with spirit energy than other people.
The one hundred cultivation cabins donated by the mysterious person did not cost him anything, which was the cost of activating them and the cost of injecting gene medicine and nutritional fluid into them.
Meng Chao kept his promise in this regard. Aside from the cost, he did not take a single cent from the broken-star superhumans.
Aside from that, the Broken Star Club also provided comfortable recovery rooms and medical rooms for the large number of broken-star superhumans.
He often used his connections to invite Blade Dancer Gu Jianbo, Griffin Li Yingzi, the other lecturers from Agricultural University's martial arts course, and some of the famous fighters in society to come to the Broken Star Club to hold lectures and teach them on the spot. Of course, they were all free of charge.
As for dining, cultivation, recuperation, business gatherings, corporate team-building … all kinds of services, the membership price would definitely not exceed the 30% discount of clubs of the same level in the outside world. If it was really the cost price, they would still have to pay for water, electricity, and spiritual energy pipes!
"Earning money is secondary. The main thing is to make friends with everyone."
Meng Chao said to the Broken Star Club members.
These were his heartfelt words.
The Broken Star Club was not formed to earn money, but it had a few rules.
First, those who wanted to join had to pay a membership fee. It was not a lot of money, but based on the benefits they could enjoy, it ranged from ten to one hundred RMB a month. Usually, they could eat two buffets at cost price or enjoy two hours of the latest Ultimate Style cultivation cabin at cost price.
"It's not that we lack the membership fees, but only by paying the membership fees can the broken-star superhumans realize that they're members of the Broken Star Club. This is a way to increase our unity and acknowledgement."
Meng Chao told Qin Hu.
This was the knowledge he learned from the Ghost Tribe's training course in his previous life.
He also learned that a unified uniform and all sorts of medals and commemorative medals could greatly increase a person's sense of acknowledgement and honor in the organization. It could even increase their courage when they fought.
Of course, to the current Broken Star Club, a unified uniform was too much of an exaggeration.
Meng Chao asked Qin Hu to print a batch of T-shirts. There were two styles. One of them had the words "Broken Star Club" written in a flamboyant style on the front. It was definitely eye-catching, but it did not seem like it could be worn out. The other style was made of the best fabric. At first glance, it did not seem to have anything to do with the Broken Star Club. There was only a small Broken Star Club emblem on the chest. Those who did not know would not be able to tell, but those who could tell were "kindred spirits".
The two T-shirts alone were worth the membership fee.
Next, Meng Chao revealed the daily expenses of the Broken Star Club, the donations they accepted, and the cost of all the expenses.
Many of the members felt a little embarrassed after taking advantage of the club.
"You don't have to be so polite. The Broken Star Club is a public welfare organization, but it's not a charity organization. If we want to maintain the situation, we have to work together."
Meng Chao told everyone that the membership fees and prices for the items in the Broken Star Club would definitely not increase, but to maintain the club's operations and provide cultivation convenience for more broken-star superhumans, they had to work together with the major forces of power, companies, and even powerful organizations.
For the time being, the Broken Star Club would carefully choose a batch of products related to cultivation and provide them to the members at cost price. It did not matter whether they bought them or not. As long as they spent some time and effort, they could try them out and give feedback. The feedback and data they provided to the manufacturers could be exchanged for real money to be used in the operations of the Broken Star Club.
Peerless fighters were rather sensitive to their cultivation data, so they would not easily reveal it to third parties.
But broken-star superhumans could barely reach one-star superhumans. At most, they were 0.5 stars. They did not have any consciousness or need to keep their cultivation data a secret.
Their money was in their pockets, so there was no reason for them to force them to buy or sell anything. They would just have to see what sort of products Meng Chao could bring them.
Meng Chao had really put in a lot of effort to make the first group purchase business a hit in the Broken Star Club.
After thinking about it, he decided to look for Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu's son, Luo Hai, and talk about using Surging Lightning as the vanguard.
Surging Lightning was personally designed by Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu, Meng Chao was the spokesperson, and Luo Hai was in charge of operating it. It had been in the market for a few months now.
Even though this saber did not have any advanced technology that surpassed the current era, it did not hold back when it came to the materials used. It was also designed around Meng Chao's Future One Hundred Saber Techniques, so its price-performance ratio was second to none in the market. It could be considered as the hottest item of the season.
Luo Hai did not object to Meng Chao's suggestion to create a members-only version for the Broken Star Club aside from the youth version and flagship version.
But the purchase price Meng Chao mentioned shocked him so much that he sucked in a sharp breath.
"Meng Chao, you have a share in Surging Lightning as well. You've seen the entire product line from start to finish. Our simple and crude method of piling up materials and using the price-performance ratio to win has already pushed the market price to the lowest!
"We're not earning a lot of money, but you're giving us such a discount? You're basically losing money every time you sell it, and there's also the risk of disrupting the end-user market. If word of this price gets out, the distributors will spit on me, and I'll drown. I don't do business like this!"
Meng Chao said nothing and handed him a set of data.
Luo Hai frowned. "What's this?"
"This is the project data from Lab 1024 of Agricultural University's martial arts course," Meng Chao said.
"You can just look at the final conclusion. I'll use my own head to guarantee that the data is real. Look at this curve of increasing fighting strength. The research shows that if a broken-star superhuman uses the Ultimate Style cultivation cabin to cultivate their branch meridians for two hours every day, it'll be very beneficial for them to repair their spirit meridians and increase their fighting strength.
"Recently, one hundred volunteers have gone through a month of Ultimate Style training. Their punching strength, hundred-meter dash speed, reaction speed, and mental strength index have all increased by different degrees. The person with the highest overall fighting strength has increased by 29%, and the median is 11%.
"Do you know what this means?"
"What does it mean?" Luo Hai asked instinctively.
"It means that in less than a year, most of the broken-star superhumans' fighting strength will reach the average of one-star superhumans," Meng Chao said.
"The stronger they are, the more dangerous the missions they can take on. If they want to complete dangerous missions, they'll need even more powerful equipment. If they can really complete the missions, they'll earn more money, get promoted, get a raise, marry a beautiful, rich, and beautiful woman, and reach the peak of their lives.
"This is all about buying power. They can't possibly only buy one saber in their lives, right? In truth, as the Monster War becomes more intense, normal sabers will become consumables. Even supreme-grade sabers might not be able to last through a few fierce battles. This time, you're giving them a slight discount on the youth version. Who knows whether the broken-star superhumans who have become much stronger will go back and buy a few flagship versions? "
