As for Meng Chao, his situation was rather unique.
First of all, his base was, of course, the Home Party.
He came from a poor family, and just like most of the Home Party members, he saw too many structural problems in Dragon City while he was growing up.
The harm and oppression between humans could not be compared to the conflict between humans and monsters or between Earthlings and the Other World.
In his previous life, Meng Chao had gotten into a conflict with his class rep, who came from a rich family. In the end, he was set up by the class rep, which resulted in him failing his national college examination.
His father was also exploited by a large enterprise, and he could not get good labor and medical care. It was clearly a work injury, but the lawsuit was dragged on and left unsettled.
And their family's misfortune was just a reflection of the millions of families at the bottom of Dragon City.
Dragon City was filled with internal conflicts. Even if its fighting strength increased by ten times, would it be able to conquer the Other World?
Besides, Meng Chao had befriended hundreds of thousands of broken-star superhumans through the Broken Star Club.
Most of them came from poor families, and they had the same troubles and fates as Meng Chao in his previous life. When they competed against the mega corporations and rich people, they ran into the same setbacks and suffocating pressure.
Compared to how to make Dragon City bigger and stronger, they were more concerned about how to distribute the cake.
Hence, most of the members in the Broken Star Club belonged to the Home Party.
This was one of the reasons why Blue Home, the core organization of the Home Party, tried its best to invite Meng Chao, the leader of the Broken Star Club, to become a director of Blue Home.
The other reason was that Meng Chao had saved the lives of quite a number of Blue Home's higher-ups and core members during the Noble Descent Hotel ambush.
And after Meng Chao became Blue Home's director, he had indeed pushed for the Broken Star Club and Blue Home to work together. He made the former's advantages at the grassroots level and the latter's power in the Survival Committee work together, which allowed the politicians who belonged to the Home Party to have an even louder voice.
And when it came to modifying the defense systems in the old residential areas, aside from having Superstar invest a lot of money, Meng Chao also actively encouraged the owners of small and medium-sized enterprises in the Broken Star Club to invest money as well, so that hundreds of old residential areas could be changed.
Because of it, Meng Chao and the Home Party's interests were tied together.
Besides, he was now the chairman of the Lair Reconstruction Committee, so he could share the pie of the lair reconstruction with the Home Party.
It was no wonder then why his ranking among the thirteen directors of Blue Home was getting closer.
A few of the politicians from the Home Party had high hopes for him. They believed that he was the young flag bearer of the Home Party and used his influence in the Survival Committee to help Superstar get a lot of projects and funds.
The problem was, no one knew that Meng Chao, who was labeled as a member of the Home Party, was a Colonization Party member who was even more determined than the leaders of the nine great mega corporations!
No one knew better than Meng Chao just how turbulent the Other World would be in the next few decades.
Dragon City definitely did not have ten to twenty years to comfortably absorb all the spoils of war left behind by the monster civilization.
Not even three to five years.
The ultimate war that would sweep through the Other World was about to begin.
Humans, dragons, elves, dwarves, orcs, great demons, abyss demons … Countless races in the Other World were sharpening their weapons and scheming against each other. They were divided into different camps, continuously betraying and forming alliances. While they schemed against each other, they spied on each other's weaknesses and were prepared to deal a fatal blow at any moment.
It was like the eve of the Third World War on Earth.
On the surface, it was still peaceful and peaceful.
But in reality, undercurrents were surging and could erupt at any moment.
Quite a number of races' structural conflicts had already accumulated to the point that they were on the verge of erupting like volcanoes. Any random spark could blow them to pieces.
In fact, proxy wars had already broken out between the slave armies of some of the stronger races.
If Dragon City waited for the Other World war to erupt before it rushed out, it would be too late.
The two camps had a clear divide between them, and there was no room for them to plot against each other or benefit from both sides.
And Earthlings were the Extraordinary Disaster, which did not fit in with the style of the Other World. It was impossible for either camp to truly trust them. No matter which side they sided with, they could only play the role of cannon fodder and chess pieces.
So …
'We only have half a year, at most a year, to completely get rid of and digest the monster civilization. Then, we have to rush out of Monster Mountain Range and seize the precious window of time before the two camps finish preparing for the final war. We have to occupy a spot in the Other World!'
Meng Chao gritted his teeth and thought.
Of course it would not be easy.
Besides, Meng Chao did not think that the nine great mega corporations could reverse the fate of being destroyed in his previous life.
It was not just a matter of fighting strength.
He could vaguely remember that in his previous life, the nine great mega corporations had been famous for a period of time because of the Extraordinary Disaster. Then, they gradually placed the interests of their corporations above those of Dragon City.
When a corporation's main market shifted to a prosperous Other World civilization far away from Dragon City.
When the employees and consumers of the corporation gradually changed from Earthlings to the intelligent races of the Other World.
When a large number of the Other World's high-grade magicians and even demons from the abyss appeared among the investors of the corporation.
When the owners of the corporation practiced the secret techniques of the Other World and even secretly worshiped the deities of the Other World to obtain a long lifespan …
Could this sort of mega corporation still be considered as the unstoppable and trustworthy saber of Earth's civilization?
And since the structural problems in Dragon City had not been solved yet.
Even when Dragon City's civilization was at its greatest expansion, the normal citizens did not get a lot of benefits.
Instead, they had to bear the pain of the powerful fighters from the Other World's enemy camps occasionally infiltrating Dragon City to kill, set fires, and wreak havoc.
The magicians, blood elves, and demons from the abyss used methods that were one hundred times more sinister and brutal than the monsters'.
In the end, as Dragon City's sphere of influence grew larger on the surface, its cohesiveness became lower, and internal conflicts grew. The citizens complained, and they suffered greatly.
When this beautiful bubble finally burst, Dragon City's civilization collapsed at an astonishing speed.
When the people finally realized what was going on and wanted to work together like they did during the Monster War, it was already too late.
The nine great mega corporations did not trust each other, and they competed viciously against each other.
The gap between the peerless fighters and third-class fighters, between superhumans and normal people, and between the rich and the poor had existed for decades. Now, it was no longer a matter of urgency and could be filled up in a hurry.
In the end, it was inevitable that the mega corporations would end up in a state of prosperity, but they would also fall in a flash.
With what happened before him, Meng Chao did not think that the mega corporations could become the main force for the expansion of their civilization.
At the very least, they should not be the only main force.
'Dragon City needs balance. It needs a force to keep the mega corporations in check. It'll be more stable if we walk on two legs.'
With this thought in mind, Meng Chao began to organize the things he had to do in the next half a year to a year.
He hoped to continue developing and becoming stronger during this crucial year. He might not need to become a force that could keep the mega corporations in check, but at the very least, he needed to have a greater right to speak so that the heavens could listen to him and he could make his voice heard in the Survival Committee.
If he wanted to achieve this, the most important thing was invincible strength.
In this world where the strong preyed on the weak, personal strength was the foundation of power.
Fortunately, as Superstar grew stronger and gained a lot of help from the abnormal beast research department, he also gained control of the Underground Emperor's rich legacy. He did not lack cultivation resources.
And if he used the resources around him to participate in the reconstruction of the lair and the upgrade of Dragon City, he could earn a lot of contribution points.
With the resources and contribution points, it would only be a matter of time before he could master Divine Nine Dragon Seals and Celestial Tyrant's Star Shattering Slash and reach a higher realm.
Meng Chao was confident that in the next year, he could reach Spirit Vision Realm and see the secrets of the peak of Heaven Realm.
His second priority was Superstar.
The corporation under his family was definitely the most trustworthy.
After the explosive development over the past few years, Superstar was no longer the small, low-grade harvester corporation it was when it was first established.
Now, it had thousands of employees, an independent biochemical research center, and a food processing and bottling factory. It was a comprehensive high-tech corporation that could take on a lot of businesses ranging from municipal projects to logistics for the military.
Meng Chao's foresight surpassed the era, and he was certain that the Monster War would end soon. At that time, the thriving harvesting of wild monsters would turn into a sunset industry overnight.
Instead, the biochemical technology that could tame monsters, modify monsters, and make monsters work for humans would become a booming industry that would attract countless funds and talents.
After all, if they wanted to conquer the Other World, just tens of millions of Earthlings would not be enough.
If they had to waste the precious lives of Earthlings in the elves' forests, the murloc's swamps, and the dwarves' caves, it would be a loss that would make their hearts ache.
The overwhelming beast horde controlled by Earthlings was the best servant army for Earth's civilization.
Hence, Meng Chao had long since pulled strings to help Superstar get the related technology and talents from Agricultural University.
Spirit Creation Creatures, which was acquired by Superstar, was once the best high-tech corporation in the biochemical modification circle in Dragon City.
The acquisition also gave Superstar a very outstanding CEO, and he was one of the former partners of Spirit Creation Creatures, Xie Xiaofeng.
Xie Xiaofeng's operations and Gao Ye's technology allowed Spirit Creation Creatures to become a business legend in the past.
When Spirit Creation Creatures was first acquired by Superstar, Xie Xiaofeng had a certain degree of doubt.
After all, even though Superstar had already taken over Prosperous at that time, it was still a pure resource recovery company. It did not seem to have the ability to develop biochemical technology deeply.
But Meng Chao's connections, the deals he got, and the funds he brought in soon allowed Xie Xiaofeng to be like a fish in water, and he threw himself into managing Superstar.
Meng Chao knew nothing about biochemical technology.
But he could see the development direction of biochemical technology in the future from the memories of his previous life.
To elites like Xie Xiaofeng, there were plenty of times when they only needed the right direction and a forward-looking train of thought, and they could cause an astonishing explosion.
Meng Chao believed that as long as they continued moving in the direction of biochemical modification, Superstar's future would definitely surpass everyone's imagination.
