Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 111

Chapter 111: The Change at the Final Moment!

The lecturers saw the top five scorers of the national college examination working together from the rostrum.

During the competitions in the previous years, it was very common for the strong to work together, but the results were usually bad. They did not trust each other since they were each other’s strongest competitors. The slightest abnormality resulted in the alliance completely dissolving.

“That Meng Chao is pretty interesting. I think he was the one who pulled the strings just now and made Sun Ya and the other three outstanding ones decide to work together.” Jiang Ming smiled. “It’s a pity that he is a broken-star superhuman. Otherwise, I think I’d take him in.”

“Being a broken-star superhuman is nothing,” Li Yingzi said. “Realms are important, but they’re not the only standard determining whether a person is strong or weak. If he manages to get nineteen thousand monster coins, I won’t mind becoming his personal tutor.”

Among the two ace lecturers in the martial arts course, Li Yingzi was a five-star superhuman. She was only in her thirties, but she had already risen to fame with her beast soul fusion. She was already showing signs of surpassing Jiang Ming.

Hence, when she said that realms were not important, her words were a little thought-provoking.

Jiang Ming coughed dryly. “It’s easy for the strong to form teams, but it’s very difficult for them to make their alliance last until the end. During the past admission tests, most of the outstanding ones would turn against each other at the end— Huh? What is he doing?”

The lecturers watching from a high spot noticed that Meng Chao had taken up a strange stance.

He was accumulating power using the Dragon Snake Force.

Among the three basic force execution methods, the Dragon Snake Force leaned toward accumulating power the most.

The future Dragon Snake Force Meng Chao mastered was twenty percent more effective when it came to accumulating power compared to the current popular version.

Besides, he had four main meridians cleared in his right arm, so his spirit energy surged madly there. His right arm swelled up visibly, and with the amplification from the biochemical fighting suit, his arm looked like Principal Sun’s Heavy Cannon.

The problem was, there was no enemy around him. Who was he preparing to hit if he accumulated power in such an exaggerated fashion?

The lecturers soon learned the answer.

Boom!

A deafening sound rose, and the entire field swayed.

Meng Chao’s right arm rammed into the ground like a spiral drill. It created a hole in the ground.

He reached in to test it and found that the depth was just right. He dug out the shattered stones and dirt and punched a second hole right next to the first one.

Just like that, in half a minute, he had created five holes that were about the length of his forearm.

He then divided the monster coins Sun Ya and the rest had given him into five equal portions and put them into the holes.

After he was done with it, he grinned. He patted away the dust on his body, and with a relaxed expression looked around himself.

The students were dumbfounded.

The field was huge, and many of the students ran around like headless chickens. When they fought to the point of exhaustion and stopped to catch their breath, they noticed that the Four Great Kings had decided to work together, so even if they wanted to stop them, it was already too late.

And Meng Chao had never revealed his strength. The students did not see any shiny monster coins in his cup, so they did not regard him as a threat.

It was only at this moment that they noticed that Sun Ya and the others all sent the monster coins they snatched into the holes by Meng Chao’s feet.

But it was too late to do much about it.

There were only around seven minutes left, but most of the students were exhausted.

Based on their strength and the number of monster coins they had, the students were generally divided into three types.

The first type were slightly weaker than the Four Great Kings, but had cleared from thirty to fifty main meridians. They had snatched around one hundred monster coins, but did not have any place to put them. They could only keep them on their heads, which was a burden they had to carry with them. Hence, they had reached the limit of the number of monster coins they could take.

They were the greatest threat to Meng Chao and the others, and they naturally started eyeing the monster coins Meng Chao kept hidden.

But it was very difficult for them to even protect themselves from the many students eyeing them hungrily, so how could they possibly go and challenge Sun Ya and the rest?

The second type was quite strong, but lacked luck. They had run into Sun Ya and the others, who stole from them. Now, they only had dozens of monster coins on their heads.

These people were the most active and battle hungry people on the battlefield.

However, when it came to choosing their targets, they hesitated as well.

The main reason was because Meng Chao’s method of storing the monster coins was just too shameless. He actually dug a few holes in the ground and buried the monster coins deep inside.

Even if they launched a group attack and broke through Sun Ya and the others’ defense line, when they reached Meng Chao, they would still have to bend down and stretch an arm into the hole to grab the monster coins.

The diameter of the holes was about the size of a fist. If they wanted to dig out all the monster coins, they would have to grope around for a few seconds.

For three-to-five seconds, the person looking for the coins would be pinned to the ground and become an unmoving target.

If they tried to get coins from there, their own coins might end up becoming someone else’s. No one wanted to be the first to try it.

‘This guy is too cunning, despicable, and shameless!’

As the students looked at Meng Chao’s grin, they started cussing in their hearts.

They weighed the pros and cons. Instead of falling into this shameless guy’s trap and landing themselves with an unlucky streak, it would be better to try their luck by targeting someone who had around one hundred monster coins.

As for the third group of new students, they were people who had not become superhumans yet, and they had long since been beaten to the point that their minds were dizzy. They just lay at the perimeter while gasping for breath. Even if they wanted to attack, they did not have the organizational skills nor will to do so.

Hence, when there were only three minutes left to the admission test, Meng Chao and the other four had managed to get a total of one hundred thousand points, and everyone could get twenty thousand.

“That’s enough! Everyone, come back and protect these one hundred thousand points!” Meng Chao shouted at the top of his lungs. “Everyone gets twenty thousand! You can choose whichever ace lecturer you want! If you continue snatching, the other students are going to end up fighting us!”

Sun Ya and the others were stunned when they heard this, but they quickly pulled back their defense line.

Jiang Rui felt a little disinclined to follow Meng Chao’s instructions, but when he saw that the other three had returned to Meng Chao’s side, he knew that he could not make a stance with just himself and could only obey the orders.

When the other students heard Meng Chao’s words, they knew that they had one hundred thousand points with them, and their eyes turned bloodshot with greed.

“There are more than one million monster coins in the field. Even if we take away one hundred thousand, there’s still more than one million left! It’s enough for you to split among yourselves!” Meng Chao shouted loudly. “Of course, if you feel that our one hundred thousand points are more enticing, you can try and get them from us! I’ll welcome you with open arms!”

When the greedy students saw Sun Ya and the rest standing on guard around the five holes and remembered Meng Chao’s right arm swelling up to the size of a huge cannon, they hesitated.

‘That’s right.’ They were given a reminder by Meng Chao and started calculating in their minds. ‘With Sun Ya and the others’ strength, it’s only logical that they can get from fifty thousand to sixty thousand points. That means that there are only a few ten thousand points missing from the field. We don’t have to miss the big picture for the smaller deal.’

Since they could not take the coins from Sun Ya and the others because the guards were too tough, the students could only brace themselves and cause trouble for each other.

It was not as if there was no one who wanted to imitate Meng Chao and form a party with someone to ram holes into the ground to store monster coins.

But they were pressed for time, and in their haste, they could not settle the problem of trust and the distribution of coins.

There were also people who back-stabbed each other in the name of working together, and the area filled with angry shouts and chaotic fights.

Sun Ya and the others had a chance to catch a breath and recover their strength.

“You should be at ease now, right?” Meng Chao said with a smile. “As long as the students aren’t stupid, no one will attack our camp. We just need to wait in comfort until the last ten seconds. Then, everyone can reach into their own holes. At that time, your hands and cups will be stuffed full, but by then, there will be only some three seconds left, so no accident should occur.”

Sun Ya thought about it and smiled. “It’s not foolproof, but it’s the most logical plan. I agree with it.”

“I agree with it as well.” Duan Lian looked impressed. “Meng Chao, you’re awesome.”

Xie Feng smiled wryly. What could he say, anyway?

Jiang Rui still felt indignant. “We were the ones working hard, while all you did was ram five holes into the ground. You got those twenty thousand monster coins too easily.”

“Makes sense.” Meng Chao nodded. “Alright, then I’ll allow you to take your portion first. Go on.”

He made a gesture in a very gentlemanly manner.

Sun Ya and the other two stared at Jiang Rui with intense gazes.

There was no way Jiang Rui would extend his arm into his hole before the three hungry wolves. It would be the same as him handing all his coins to these people.

He threw his head back and let out a huge sigh before he sat down obediently with his features scrunched up.

It was just as Meng Chao predicted. During the last three minutes, the students fought incredibly fiercely, but no one tried to challenge their iron wall.

During the last half a minute, aside from the five of them, everyone lay exhausted and spasming on the ground. They bared their teeth in pain.

Sun Ya and the others sighed in relief.

Jiang Rui was impatient. “Now, we can take our monster coins out, right?”

“Don’t be in such a hurry,” Meng Chao said. “There’s still half a minute left. If we take them out now, someone among you might be greedy. Let’s wait until the last ten seconds.”

Jiang Rui really wanted to say ‘Who the heck are you that we have to listen to you right until the end?’

But since the other three did not move, he could only grit his teeth and bear with it patiently.

The final ten seconds arrived.

The five people looked at each other and put their arms into their holes.

There were two hundred monster coins in each. Naturally, they were not able to get all of them in one go. They had to make three grabs before they could fill up the cups on their helmets and their hands.

Nothing happened during the first grab or the second one.

There were five seconds left.

The group sighed in relief. They thought, ‘Gosh, we finally got through this damn “game” without any danger. We can now choose the lecturer we want.’

But suddenly, something happened.

“Jiang Rui, you—” Duan Lian cried out.

Before he could finish— No, in truth, when Duan Lian started the word “Jiang”, Meng Chao had already attacked.

Slap!

He had more than twenty monster coins in his left hand, but he had been waiting to attack since a long time ago. The monster coins shot forward like bullets.

But they did not go toward Jiang Rui, who had been hostile to him all this while.

Instead, they went toward Duan Lian, who had spoken up in warning.

Duan Lian was caught off guard, and he instinctively shut his eyes to avoid the missiles.

But he had more than one hundred monster coins on his head, so he could not help but be a little slower.

Because of it, the monster coins that came at him hit his eyes.

Even if Duan Lian had already trained his body to the point that it was as hard as steel, his eyes were not that much stronger than those of a normal person. Tears immediately sprung from his eyes because of the hit.

Meng Chao showed no mercy once he gained momentum. His right arm, even though he had reached into the hole with it, wasn’t holding anything. He hadn’t even thought about getting monster coins. Instead, he used the hole as a cover to prepare for Demon Subduing Slash.

He drew his arm from the hole, and as all four of his main meridians surged, he finished forming his spirit energy magnetic field. Now, the blade was unsheathed. He drew up his arm, which was like a saber but also a whip. He swung it like a gigantic pillar and sent it flying at Duan Lian’s face!
