"Competition and restraints?"
Meng Chao could not help but snicker.
He remembered how the nine great mega corporations in his previous life acted on their own because of competition and restraints. They did not care about the overall situation and even fought against each other both openly and in secret.
Each mega corporation placed their own interests before the interests of Dragon City as a whole.
They treated seizing the Other World's market, obtaining profits, and expanding their corporations as their goals. They did not treat it as a method for Earth's civilization to conquer the Other World.
In fact, since they had Earth's civilization and ancient technology in their hands, they treated the other party as their greatest competitor and used all sorts of methods to attack their own people.
This was especially obvious when the nine great mega corporations entered the prosperous regions of the Other World's civilizations and established their roots in the Other World's markets. Once they had brand new bases, it became clear.
Ever since he started training with Battle God Lei Zongchao and strengthened his vitality magnetic field, Meng Chao's mind became clearer.
He often replayed the Other World War in his previous life.
He was certain that even if the nine great mega corporations' expansion and loss of control were not the main reason for humanity's defeat and destruction, they were still important catalysts.
The nine great mega corporations could not lead Dragon City to victory in the end. This was an irrefutable truth.
Right now, many of the citizens, including Su Mulian, placed all their hopes on the mega corporations and their masters.
But Meng Chao could not just watch Dragon City walk down the same path and repeat the same mistakes.
"Right now, Dragon City is facing an unprecedented change in the one million years since human civilization was born on Earth," Meng Chao said gravely.
When he thought of this, Meng Chao said gravely, "Since ancient times, there has never been a civilization that scattered its power to various industries when it faced such a crisis and drastic change to get through it.
"The more danger we face, the more we have to be united. We have to have a power that stands above the nine mega corporations and unite all Dragon Citizens together. We have to form one fist, one will, and one voice. That's the only way we'll have the chance to carve out a bloody path in the boundless Other World that's filled with dangers.
"As for the risk of this' greatest power 'going out of control, there is definitely a risk.
"But from Earth to the Other World, there is no such thing as a sure win war or a sure win war. No matter what path Dragon City chooses, it will have to take the risk and pay the price. It's just like a hungry person who is about to starve to death. It can only grab the sharpest sword and walk into the forest. How can it be afraid of being cut by a sword?"
Su Mulian lowered her head. She did not want Meng Chao to see her expression. She opened her mouth slightly and sucked in a few breaths before she calmed down. Then, she whispered, "I-I understand, Mr. Meng Chao."
It was only then that Meng Chao understood.
Su Mulian was just an ignorant girl. Why should he fight against her?
"Su Mulian" Meng Meng Meng Meng smiled.
Meng Chao grinned, and his tone became gentler. "Honestly, I know that the nine great mega corporations have done a lot of good things for Leprosy Village and the lair over the past half a year. After all, after the scandal was exposed, they were under a lot of pressure from the public, and they have to protect their corporate image.
"Honestly, I know that the nine great mega corporations have done a lot of good things for Leprosy Village and the lair over the past half a year. After all, after the scandal was exposed, they faced a lot of pressure from the public, and they still have to protect their corporate image!
"So, they sent out letters of apology, dealt with the details of the work, and set up all sorts of foundations to join the overall relocation of Leprosy Village and the reconstruction of the lair.
"What I'm saying is that no matter what benefits the mega corporations give you, be it compensation, donations, or whatever the name is, you can just take it.
"I'm not lecturing you, Ms. Mulian, but your problem is that you trust people too much. In the beginning, I didn't have any proof. All I did was talk to you and say a few words, and you came with me obediently.
"It's not that I want to criticize you, Ms. Mulian, but your problem is that you trust people too much. At that time, I didn't have any evidence. All I had to do was say a few words, and you came with me obediently.
"Of course, I'm definitely trustworthy, but how many people in Dragon City are like me? They won't betray your trust.
"In this regard, I think that the new village chief of Leprosy Village, Wild Wolves' Wild Wolf, has much more experience in society than you do. He can handle the specific matters in Leprosy Village, and you can act as the Saintess based on your interests. That'll be good!"
"Yes."
Su Mulian seemed to have realized that she had lost her composure, and she became careful again.
She nodded obediently and whispered, "Honestly, I don't want to place my hopes on the mega corporations. If I had a choice, I'd definitely be more willing to believe in Mr. Meng Chao."
"Then I'm relieved."
"No matter what happens, don't worry and trust me. Just like when we were in Leprosy Village, I won't disappoint you."
Su Mulian nodded.
He seemed to feel that he had said too much today and wanted to end this mindless conversation.
But he could not help but ask, "Mr. Meng Chao, let's say let's say let's say let's say that this power that surpasses the nine great mega corporations really appears. Will you control this power and become the master of Dragon City?"
"Me?"
Meng Chao was stunned. He instinctively waved his hand. "Even though I want to create a brand new future, I've never thought about becoming the master of Dragon City. I only like to charge at the frontlines and enjoy the pleasure of dancing at the edge of a razor blade. Also, I like to get to know people with extraordinary abilities and help people get resources.
"You want me to manage all of Dragon City? Just thinking about it gives me a headache.
"Speaking of which, this power is really strong. It needs someone who is selfless, has a noble character, and is willing to make contributions to control it. Otherwise, it might really go out of control!"
Su Mulian said. "Aren't you the person who is selfless, has a noble character, and is willing to make contributions?"
Meng Chao scratched his head. "Of course I am. It's just that the purity isn't high enough."
Su Mulian's eyes went wide. "Is there someone in Dragon City who is more selfless, has a noble character, and is willing to make contributions than you, Mr. Meng Chao?"
"D-Don't say that. I might be the youngest blood medal bearer in Dragon City, one of the top ten youths in Dragon City last year, and the representative of the outstanding university students in Dragon City this year, but there are still people who are more selfless, have a noble character, and are willing to make contributions than me," Meng Chao said humbly.
Meng Chao said humbly. "For example, you, Ms. Mulian!"
"I —"
Su Mulian was stunned. Her face instantly turned red and hot.
She lowered her head and spoke in a voice that sounded like a mosquito buzzing. "I'm not. You don't understand. I-I'm not what you think I am."
"Then, you have to be Battle God Lei Zongchao."
Meng Chao sighed. "If Senior Lei's body could remain healthy and stable for another five to ten years, he would be the most suitable candidate to supervise and guide the nine great mega corporations. Unfortunately …"
Unfortunately, the inertia of fate was too strong.
Meng Chao felt a little helpless when he faced Lei Zongchao's disease.
Su Mulian narrowed her eyes.
It was as if she had made up her mind.
"Um, Mister Meng Chao, please don't reject Senior Lei just yet, okay?"
She bit her lip and said in a quivering voice, "D-Let me think about it for two days. After some time, I'll go with you to meet Senior Lei."
"That's great!"
Meng Chao was delighted. "Trust me, you'll definitely become good friends, because you're the same kind of people. You're both willing to give up everything for Dragon City!"
"It's impossible for me and Senior Lei to be the same kind of people …" Su Mulian mumbled to herself.
Then, she looked up and stared at Meng Chao with a strange gaze. "Mister Meng Chao, since I've agreed to your request, can you promise me something as well?"
"Ms. Mulian, please speak," Meng Chao said.
"You've helped so many Dragon Citizens get rid of their illnesses. No matter what it is, as long as I can do it, I'll do it!"
"In the future, no matter what, you must protect Dragon City, okay?" Su Mulian asked with a serious and expectant expression.
"What do you mean?"
Meng Chao could not help but laugh. "Haven't I been protecting Dragon City all this while?"
"Please, promise me!" Su Mulian's tone became heavier.
Even Meng Chao was stunned by the sudden light that shone in her eyes.
"Of course, I promise you."
Influenced by Su Mulian, Meng Chao became serious as well. He enunciated his words clearly and said firmly, "No matter what happens in the future and no matter what happens, I will protect Dragon City forever!"
…
After a day and night of treatment and Su Mulian's meticulous care, the effect of the five hundred thousand contribution points Meng Chao had poured into his body had increased by more than three times, and he recovered by 80%.
Of course, after the Battle God filled him with wisdom and the subtle influence from the ancient ruins, 80% of Meng Chao's fighting strength had increased by a few times compared to the peak of his condition half a year ago.
Meng Chao did not want Su Mulian to work too hard.
Once he finished his treatment, he went to meet the leaders of the Wild Wolves and the gangs. Then, he went to meet A 'Ji, who had been hiding in the dark to develop his strength and come up with plans. Then, Meng Chao returned to the Supernatural Tower.
Right when he entered the inner chamber of Battle God Palace, which was Lei Zongchao's isolated training spot, he heard a thud, and he saw the former Battle God fall to the ground stiffly, as if he was paralyzed.
"Master Lei, what's wrong?"
Meng Chao's face turned pale with fright. He quickly ran over and helped the old man, who had burned himself to death for Dragon City, up.
If Lei Zongchao used up too much of his energy because of him and died ahead of time, it would be a huge sin on him.
"I'm fine."
Lei Zongchao panted heavily. After a long while, he gradually calmed down. "I'm just thinking about a brand new martial art."
Meng Chao saw that Lei Zongchao was covered in bruises and bruises.
His vitality magnetic field was like a lamp in a storm, and he was on the verge of death.
When Meng Chao thought about it, Lei Zongchao must have fallen dozens of times before he came back.
No, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. No matter how weak Lei Zongchao's body was, he should not have been injured so badly because of a simple fall. He still did not know how to deal with his flesh, spirit meridians, and spirit energy magnetic field!
"Hey, why aren't you taking care of yourself? Why are you thinking about a brand new martial art?!"
Meng Chao felt a headache coming on.
