Chapter 676: Forces of Power Surrounding Meng Chao
The second force of power that was trustworthy was Broken Star Club.
Right now, Broken Star Club already had more than three hundred thousand official members and around one hundred thousand members in reserve.
It had practically recruited all the broken-star superhumans in Dragon City.
This time, there were a few ten thousand normal soldiers who awakened to supernatural abilities during the pitched battle and became broken-star superhumans.
They were in the same predicament as the Meng Chao in the past, and they were a trustworthy force.
That was why Meng Chao paid great attention to building and expanding Broken Star Club.
Even when Superstar had consecutively merged with Prosperous and Spirit Creation Creatures and faced a severe lack of funds during that time, it never forgot to pour large amounts of investments into Broken Star Club to ensure its continuous operations.
He also served as the middleman for the Broken Star Club members by using his connections in Agricultural University, Yan Organization, and the abnormal beast research department to help them solve problems regarding their businesses and cultivation.
With him as the club leader, Qin Hu as the chief director, and the mysterious, anonymous donor pushing things forward, countless broken-star superhumans could rely on Broken Star Club to change their fates.
Not only did they manage to overcome the limits of their cultivation, when they pooled together all the resources from a few hundred thousand broken-star superhumans together, but they could also clear up all the channels of the upstream and downstream industry chains as well as the channels between end users. Through it, the middlemen could not earn profit margins, and all the benefits belonged to Broken Star Club.
As such, Broken Star Club not only could often gather together the requests from a few ten thousand broken-star superhumans and order cultivation resources, cultivation machines, and gene medicine en ma.s.se, they could even push the price down to the minimum.
They could also trade things with each other and solve the problem of funds through crowdfunding. They no longer had to face the mega corporations holding them back when it came to the development of new weapons, martial arts, and technology.
And since a lot of data was required when it came to cultivation, Broken Star Club was also ahead of the other major forces in Dragon City, because they were many, and because of it, they were powerful!
Meng Chao had even heard that the Broken Star Club members were currently developing a brand new method to do stuff.
Most of the members were not talented people even though they repaired their spirit meridians, and they were at their limit the moment they became one-star or two-star superhumans.
They did not have a lot of hope when it came to cultivation, but they hoped that more high-end fighters would help and support them when it came to the compet.i.tion in the business field.
Plus, there were always a few martial arts geniuses whose cultivation realms shot up like a rocket after they repaired their spirit meridians among the few hundred thousand broken-star superhumans.
However, they did not have a strong background, and to maintain a living as well as provide for their families, they had to spend a lot of time operating their businesses as well as going out for social gatherings. They could not pour their attention into cultivation.
If they joined a huge organization like Broken Star Club, though, these few hundred thousand broken-star superhumans could invest the cultivation resources they could not use for the time being into these talented martial arts geniuses so that they could shake off those trivial matters in their business and focus on training.
Of course, all of them first signed an agreement and stated that all of them were willing to take up responsibility for this.
If any broken-star superhuman reached Heaven Realm due to the help of the ma.s.ses but refused to acknowledge their help after they soared in the sky, then they would really incur the wrath of the people.
Meng Chao felt that this mode of operation was really interesting.
He wanted to see it happen, so he increased his investment in Broken Star Club.
It would be for the best if Broken Star Club could really develop some powerful fighters that could become his right-hand men who could explore the Other World with him.
By the way, the chief director of Broken Star Club found another way for himself and opened up a second business path.
He was originally a veteran hunter and the boss of Prosperous. He relied on his fighting strength to earn a living, but he was not as lucky as Meng Chao and Lu Siya when he was attacked by the Red Radiance Jades and Blue Origin Crystals. Most of the spirit energy froze up in his spirit acupressure, and he could not melt them no matter what, causing his cultivation realm to plummet, and he ended up as a normal human.
Meng Chao was originally worried that the arrogant Mr. Hu in the past would feel that things were unfair for him and be unable to get himself back on his feet.
He did not expect that he actually underestimated Qin Hu’s mental strength, which was refined through multiple trials and tribulations.
Once he realized that it was up to luck as to whether his cultivation realm could be restored, Qin Hu gave up on working hard in vain and decided to pour all his attention into the daily operations of Broken Star Club.
He also used the channels in Broken Star Club to enthusiastically set himself up as the spokesperson of normal people.
No matter how strong the superhumans were, most of the people in Dragon City were still normal people.
Normal people had the absolute advantage in numbers. Their thoughts were complicated when they faced superhumans who could spit fire, release electricity, control the weather, kill fierce beasts, and do whatever they wanted, and they hoped that they could have their own voice when they were in society, walked on the streets, worked in businesses, and even in the Survival Committee. They wanted someone to stand completely on their side and protect their lawful rights.
The various organizations in society up to the Survival Committee had a ratio system for their workers and politicians, which meant that a certain number of workers and politicians must be made up of normal people.
Qin Hu was the second largest shareholder of Superstar, so he did not lack money.
He had once joined the superhuman circle for twenty years, and he was really familiar with the rules of the game.
Right now, he cleared the channels to the bottom level of society through Broken Star Club.
He understood the thoughts of superhumans and also understood the needs of normal people. He also had all the qualities a politician needed, be it adaptability, being a two-faced b.a.s.t.a.r.d, having a sweet tongue while thinking about backstabbing a person, ruthlessness, shamelessness, and other such things.
Very soon, he bought over a large number of people who did not know the truth about him, and he became their leader despite the fact that he was really not what he claimed to be, and he was like a fish in water.
If nothing went wrong, very soon, he would gain a really high support rate and become a politician in the Survival Committee.
If that were really the case, Meng Chao would gain another ally in the Survival Committee.
Then, there was Agricultural University.
After killing the Demonic Mountain, Black Tortoise Zong Yue wanted to resign, because he had been leading the university’s martial arts course for twenty years.
While he was the leader, the research abilities, fighting strength, and influence of the martial arts course increased daily, and now, it could fight on equal grounds with Dragon City University’s martial arts course.
The Ultimate Style was something that was suggested by his beloved son, Zong Ye, and he even sacrificed his life for it. Then, Gu Jianbo and Meng Chao developed it, and they stirred up a martial arts trend that swept through the entire city.
Dragon City had even gained a decisive victory over the monster civilization.
This Deity Realm superhuman now had no other regrets and things weighing him down.
He could hand over the martial arts course to his successor at ease and focus on researching the ultimate secrets of life sciences.
There were two candidates who had the greatest number of supporters.
One of them was Cold-blooded Jiang Ming, and the other was Griffin Li Yingzi.
They were both at the peak of Heaven Realm. One of them was experienced, mature, and sensible. The other was eager to make progress, had endless potential, and was one of the youngest people at the peak of Heaven Realm in Dragon City.
Originally, most of the people believed that Cold-blooded Jiang Ming was a relatively suitable candidate, but as Blade Dancer Gu Jianbo and Meng Chao’s strengths grew and the influence of the Ultimate Style rose like a volcano eruption, more people favored Griffin Li Yingzi.
It was inevitable. Everyone knew that Li Yingzi was Gu Jianbo’s wife and Meng Chao’s tutoress.
Besides, the Ultimate Style was a large reason behind why Agricultural University’s martial arts course had been developing so swiftly over the past two years.
Forget about its fighting strength for a moment and just consider the number of investors, projects, and business chances Meng Chao and Gu Jianbo could bring for Agricultural University’s martial arts course. That alone was something important that they must consider.
If possible, Meng Chao would definitely use all the connections and strength beside him to help his tutoress become the dean of Agricultural University’s martial arts course and life science development center.
If his tutoress managed to control the martial arts course, business chances and room for growth in all aspects would increase by more than ten times.
There was also the abnormal beast research department and the secret police.
These two secret law enforcement organizations could also bring forth great help for Meng Chao.
Meng Chao did not think that as the monster civilization was destroyed, the abnormal beast research department would fall because it had finished performing its duty.
On the contrary, there were existences that were even more cunning and brutal than the abnormal beasts among the thousands of races in the Other World.
The races that were unwilling to face the human’s steel army head-on would choose to disguise themselves, lurk about, infiltrate their ranks, and run into the heart of Dragon City to cause trouble.
There were still plenty of tough battles the abnormal beast research department had to fight.
Their authority among the armed forces in Dragon City would also keep increasing.
Hence, Meng Chao would definitely not stop working together with the abnormal beast research department and would bind himself tighter to them.
As for the secret police, he originally did not have a lot of chances to communicate with them.
Even though he was friends with Shen Yupeng, he was not so close with him that he could treat him as a coattail, like what he was doing with Lu Siya.
But there was now a G.o.d given chance.
It was the dozens of wanted criminals that Saber Jin Wanhao had gotten into his secret lab to cut up and research.
Meng Chao did not intend to take credit for this alone.
In any case, he had already contributed a lot to Dragon City, and he even had the legendary blood medal shining on his chest now. Even if the achievement of reporting the deaths of around twenty wanted criminals was given to him, it was nothing.
But to Shen Yupeng, the value of these wanted criminals was completely different.
Shen Yupeng was a capable man, and he was just as ambitious as Queen Bee Lu Siya.
Universe Corporation was just as strong as Lu Siya’s Sky Pillar Corporation as well.
Perhaps he just needed one chance and a proper t.i.tle.
Meng Chao decided to give Shen Yupeng the achievement of killing the wanted criminals and help him get promoted within the secret police.
It had to be known that at least half of the wanted criminals in Dragon City were hiding in the lair.
Once the lair went through a large-scale reconstruction, these wanted criminals were definitely going to jump out from their dark corners.
There were plenty of chances for Meng Chao and Shen Yupeng to work together!
He did not expect that he would have Superstar, Broken Star Club, Blue Home, Agricultural University, the abnormal beast research department, and the secret police around him… In just a few short years, the forces he could use had already grown to this degree.
Oh, there was Lu Siya too.
But there was no need to even go into detail about her. She was already his ally.
The pie of reconstructing the lair could attract the forces around him and make them work together with him even more.
Once he pooled together all the resources around him and cultivated new fighters with potential, he could invite those who were trustworthy to join him.
He must collect enough funds within a year, gather powerful teammates, form his Other World exploration team, and officially begin his strategy to conquer the Other World.
When it came to funds, powerful people, and technology, Meng Chao definitely could not compare to the mega corporations.
It was impossible for him to dump an astronomical amount of funds to build a new generation armored airship with a large loading capacity, great firepower, and high endurance.
But he remembered that there was a destination that might change the progress of the Other World war not far away from Dragon City.
As long as he changed the current armored airships a little, he might reach that place.
This was Meng Chao’s plan.
