When the falcon-type Nightmarish Beast saw the dense array of rockets, it was shocked, and its skin crawled.
Its desire to survive won over its killing instincts. It spread its wings and wanted to flee into the sky.
But more than ten spirit energy magnetic waves from the residential buildings around it locked down on it.
This was the secret weapon Zhao Feixuan had deployed, and it was also the core of the upgraded residential area's defense system.
It was an energy weapon known as a crystal railgun. It could fire spirit energy magnetic waves of different frequencies based on the monster's species to cause the monsters' vitality magnetic fields to resonate and create chaotic spirit energy magnetic fields that interfered with the monsters' movements.
When it was used on the Nightmarish Beast, the speed at which it flapped its wings slowed down a little. Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
It was this "little bit" that caused it to be unable to escape the sea of fire created by the rockets exploding. In an instant, it was devoured by the rising and falling fireballs.
No matter how it struggled and roared in the sea of fire, it only received wave after wave of rocket attacks.
In a short half a minute, the carcass was reduced to charcoal and fell to the ground. Only a few burning feathers were left floating in the air.
"We won!"
Bai Jiacao's excited shouts came from the room next door. "We defeated the Nightmarish Beast! Big Brother, did you see it?"
Meng Chao saw it.
In his previous life, Blessed Heavenly Garden could not fight back when the Nightmarish Beast — Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetle wreaked havoc. The residents were either injured or killed, and the place was practically destroyed.
One and a half years ago, when Blessed Heavenly Garden faced the same Nightmarish Beast, it fought back with all its might and barely won against it.
Now, even if the superhumans did not take action, Blessed Heavenly Garden had the ability to make the Nightmarish Beast pay a devastating price.
This scene filled Meng Chao with a myriad of emotions and excitement. He was filled with confidence toward Blessed Heavenly Garden and even Dragon City's future.
The only problem was that the upgraded residential area's defense system seemed to be a little too powerful. The neighbors relied on heavy machine guns and rocket launchers, and their attacks were a little too fierce.
In truth, they still had a final defense line created by spirit talismans and an emergency evacuation system. But before they could test it, all the monsters, including the three "bosses", were killed.
This was not a bad thing.
The practical test was a complete success.
It left behind a deep impression on the leaders of the region, the military representatives, and the guests from the enterprises.
Meng Yishan immediately led the harvesters in the area to clean up the battlefield and harvest monsters.
Ever since Superstar became bigger and stronger, Meng Yishan recruited a lot of harvesters in the residential area. After they went through professional training, they became Superstar employees.
These days, the unemployment rate was high and jobs were the hardest to find.
Meng Yishan's prestige in the neighborhood grew with each passing day, and it could be said that hundreds responded to his call.
The professional harvesting team quickly and efficiently turned all the Demonic Halberd Pigs, Iron-armored Rhinoceroses, and Black Beetles into proper materials.
Meng Chao personally took care of the three Nightmarish Beasts.
Once he reached Heaven Realm, aside from his fighting strength increasing by leaps and bounds, his senses also became more sensitive and gentle.
Even though the corpses of the three Nightmarish Beasts had been deformed by the rocket launchers, he was still able to reap the most valuable materials one by one.
What followed was a joyous celebration banquet.
The meat of the Demonic Halberd Pigs and Iron-armored Rhinoceroses that had just been harvested were so fresh that they were still alive. The pork offal and beef offal were cut into thin slices and eaten in hotpot. It was the most delicious food in the world.
The families moved their small dining tables to the small square in front of the residential buildings. Each table had a spirit energy stove, and water was poured into it. Then, they made the sauce.
Many of the people were covered in smoke.
Some people did not even have the time to remove the rocket launchers on their backs.
The bustling "Hundred Family Banquet" had already begun.
It was to celebrate the successful upgrade of Blessed Heavenly Garden's defense system.
It was also to bid farewell to Meng Yishan and his family.
The news of Meng Chao reaching Heaven Realm had long since spread through Bai Suxin to her mahjong buddies.
Then, it spread to the entire residential area through the mouths of these gossipy women who loved to play mahjong.
The residents of Blessed Heavenly Garden had never expected that a legendary Heaven Realm superhuman would appear in their old residential area.
Besides, the Meng family's Superstar was getting bigger, and it was getting stronger.
Blessed Heavenly Garden was too small, and it could not stop Meng Chao from soaring to the top.
But they did not expect that the Meng family would be so particular. Before they left, they even gave them such a huge gift.
The four people from the Meng family instantly became the main characters of the Hundred Family Banquet.
The uncles pulled Meng Yishan aside and insisted on getting drunk with him.
The aunties surrounded Bai Suxin and praised her for being lucky enough to have two obedient, sensible, and promising children. There was no need to mention Meng Chao, but Bai Jiacao had gotten into the experimental class of a key high school. Two years later, she would be like her brother and get into the ace course of a key university. She would definitely not have any problem in that. At that time, her family would have two undergraduate students, and no one in Blessed Heavenly Garden would be so lucky.
There were also grandfathers and grandmothers who surrounded Meng Chao and lamented that ever since they saw how heroic and valiant he looked when he was three years old, they knew that he was not an ordinary person and that he would eventually rise to the top. Now that he was promising, they told him not to forget about his neighbors in Blessed Heavenly Garden. When he was free, he should come back and visit them. No matter which house he was in, their doors would always be open for him. No matter how far he went in the future or how high he flew, Blessed Heavenly Garden would always be his home.
Meng Chao naturally nodded and agreed to it.
That was what they thought in their hearts.
There were also grandfathers and grandmothers who patted Bai Jiacao's head and told her to listen to her big brother and learn from him.
It made the future Dark Witch so angry that she burped. Her round eyes were filled with puzzlement and indignation. She did not seem to understand how her big brother had changed so much over the past two years. He was like a completely different person and had become so strong.
But no matter how strong he was, she would not admit defeat. There would come a day when she would be able to surpass her big brother.
The Hundred Family Banquet ended in laughter.
During the banquet, quite a number of reporters from various media outlets and online media took a lot of photos and videos from various angles. When they went back, they published a lot of reports that described the upgrade of Blessed Heavenly Garden's defense system and the Hundred Family Banquet from different angles.
The more orthodox angle was to talk about the necessity and urgency of modifying old residential areas and the killing efficiency of the brand new defense system.
The media outlets that were closely connected to Blue Home emphasized Zhao Feixuan's actions of quitting his position as the vice president of Standard Firepower and starting his own business to serve the public. They also advertised his new company.
The media outlets that were related to the Broken Star Club and Superstar hired naturally emphasized Meng Chao, who was a powerful fighter who came from an old residential area. They also promoted Superstar and praised Superstar as a high-tech company with a sense of social responsibility. While it was developing vigorously, it did not forget about its people. A large part of the investment to upgrade Blessed Heavenly Garden's defense system was sponsored by Superstar.
The advertisement was very successful.
It stirred up a huge reaction among all the citizens.
The Dragon Citizens had just experienced the new zombie and undead invasion, and their sense of security had reached a new peak. They urgently needed to upgrade the defense system in their residential areas.
For a period of time, Zhao Feixuan's new company became famous.
Meng Chao and Superstar also became known by more people.
No one knew whether they could get more money from the Survival Committee to carry out a large scale modification of the old city.
She represented Sky Pillar Minerals and came to Meng Chao first. She hoped that through Meng Chao, she could sponsor Zhao Feixuan's new company and promote the upgrade of the defense system in the residential areas around Blessed Heavenly Garden.
"…"
Meng Chao stared at Lu Siya and did not say anything even after a long time had passed.
It was not a matter of sponsorship.
Lu Siya's appearance was a little terrifying.
She was wearing a pair of muddy boots and a set of thick denim overalls. She had no makeup on her face, and her lips were chapped. Her hair was as messy as a bird's nest. There was also a foul smell coming from her body. She looked like she had just crawled out from the bottom of a garbage dump.
Meng Chao knew that as a Spirit Sensor, Lu Siya was very sensitive to smells and stains. She was also a little mysophobic. What was going on?
Also, didn't she always drive a really cool sports car? The roars of the crystal engine could be heard two streets away. Why was she driving a van that looked like it had been through hundreds of battles and was still struggling at death's door after being trampled by an Emperor Mammoth?
"You're …"
Meng Chao thought about it and asked, "There's a new mission in the department. A new underground monster appeared, and they asked you to open a tunnel?"
"Where?!"
Lu Siya frowned. She could not stand the smell on her body. "I just went to do volunteer work. I cleaned up the ruins of the city caused by the monster attacks and helped the displaced citizens rebuild their homes!"
"You went to do volunteer work and contribute?"
Meng Chao was shocked. He pointed behind Lu Siya and asked, "Where's this car? What's up with it? It doesn't seem like you!"
"I sold the sports car," Lu Siya said expressionlessly.
"Aside from changing the van, I donated the rest of the money to the Home Reconstruction Foundation. I hope that it can improve the living environment in the temporary settlement and let the residents live in brand new buildings as soon as possible!"
Meng Chao was stunned for half a minute.
Then he cried out and took half a step back, glaring like a tiger watching its prey.
"Speak, what kind of monster are you?"
Meng Chao tensed up all the muscles in his body. "You're definitely not the Lu Siya I know. Are you a monster in disguise or are you controlled by an abnormal beast? Come, stretch your head over and pull up your hair. Let me see whether there are abnormal insects like Brain Infesting Worms on the back of your head."
"I'll kick you. I'm not in a good mood. Don't joke around."
Lu Siya said with a dark expression, "Do you think that I did it willingly? I was forced by my father. If I want to reap the greatest benefits from killing the mastermind, I'll have to repackage my image and create a brand new persona.
"An ambitious princess who lives in a mansion and drives a luxury car will not be popular among the citizens. Only someone like her can become a 'city hero'!"
