Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 132

Chapter 132: Slot

“Dragon City is truly a birthplace of miracles. I can’t believe we have that sort of genius among us!”

Meng Chao felt his blood stir, and he started regretting letting Wu Wu go.

He should have fought against her to his heart’s content to test the limits of the Ultimate Style.

“That’s right!” Xie Feng did not decipher his tone. He just felt dejected. “At most, the other monster controllers have stronger biochemical beasts, and that’s it. Their bodies are definitely not as strong as ours, so there are plenty of chances for us to bypass their biochemical beasts to attack their bodies or cut off the mental connection between them.

“But Wu Wu’s mental connection with her biochemical beast is much steadier than that of a normal freshman. Besides, she is a nimble, cunning, and brutal Ghost Leopard herself. How can we fight against her?

“We thought that since we have been nursing our aggrievance for a total of ten years, we could finally stand proud this year. We didn’t expect that a monster like this would fall from the sky. Ah, looks like we will have to continue being beaten up!”

He punched the arena in frustration.

But his movements were too much, and he affected his wound. Immediately, he winced in pain and sucked in a sharp breath.

“True. Since she was able to kill monsters in their nest and become a queen, that girl is definitely not someone a normal undergraduate student can handle.” Meng Chao thought about it. “Looks like I have to personally take action and meet her!”

Xie Feng and Sun Ya looked up at the same time and stared at him emotionlessly.

“Meng Chao, you’re free to challenge the students in the martial arts course and monster controller course. You’re even free to fight against other people. At most, you’ll just be beaten up to the point that you’re black and blue,” Xie Feng said. “But you mustn’t look for Wu Wu, and you must not look for her while there is no one watching. If you excite her, there’s a real possibility that things will go out of control.”

“Don’t worry, I’ve already cultivated to the point that my spirit energy can reach all my organs. Even my hair can turn tough and soft at will. I can control my entire body. I won’t lose control,” Meng Chao said coolly.

“… I’m saying that she might lose control,” Xie Feng explained kindly.

Meng Chao really wanted to say something, but he could do nothing about it.

He wanted to tell Xie Feng and Sun Ya that the Ultimate Style was on the right track and gaining success.

He wanted to persuade them to stop practicing the beast soul fusion and switch to the Ultimate Style. At the very least, they should get to know the ideals of the Ultimate Style and the profound aspects behind cultivating branch meridians.

But if he did not have any results, forget about convincing others to practice it, no one would even believe him.

Meng Chao was originally thinking about looking for Xie Feng, Sun Ya, Jiang Rui, and Duan Lian to spar while the students were still around once the martial arts course had won. As he proved the strength of the Ultimate Style, he could also push the progress of his quest from 6/300 to 10/300.

But when he saw that his coursemates were covered in injuries and looked as if their souls had escaped from their bodies, he knew that they needed to rest for at least a day or two before he could challenge them.

Should he go to the monster controller course to search for Wu Wu?

Would that be too conceited? Would he be surrounded by more than one hundred built men and their biochemical beasts and pummeled up?

He was not afraid of being surrounded. If he could not win, he could just run. He could also call out for help. But if he ran away in the first flashy appearance of the Ultimate Style, that… would not be too good.

Meng Chao scratched his head and thought about whether there were any monster controller course students who came from Ninth High School, so he could ask them for Wu Wu’s contacts.

“Meng Chao, you’ve been gone for a few days.” Ning Xueshi said in an amused tone. “Hurry up and come to the resource course. We have something good to discuss with you.”

“What is it? Do you have new monsters?” Meng Chao’s eyes lit up.

“It’s even better. You’ll have the chance to get in contact with dozens or even hundreds of brand new monsters ahead of anyone else. Are you interested?” Ning Xueshi asked with a bark of laughter.

“Coming! Wait for me! I’m coming immediately!” Meng Chao turned around to leave.

“Meng Chao…” Xie Feng said feebly from behind him. “I heard that you’re going to switch to the resource course, is that true?”

Meng Chao was stunned and stopped. “Where did you hear that?”

“That’s what everyone is saying. I didn’t believe it at first, but after we lost to the monster controller course, many of our cultivation resources were snatched by them.” Xie Feng sighed. “If you really want to change courses, it’s a wise decision.”

“I didn’t say that I’m going to change courses.” Meng Chao put his hands into his pockets and walked outside. As he walked, he said, “We’ll soon be able to snatch back all the cultivation resources taken from us. The martial arts course is definitely going to be the strongest fighting course in Monster University. Just nurse yourself back to health at ease. This is… something that is going to happen soon.”

“Meng Chao!”

“Senior Meng Chao!”

“Ace Student Chao, you’re here!”

In the low-temperature storage of the resource course was a row of chopping boards and surgery tables. It was as if they had merged a large slaughterhouse and a veterinarian hospital together.

The students were dressed in airtight protection suits and wore filter masks. All of them bowed and greeted Meng Chao respectfully.

Over the past month, his dazzling methods, flashy skills, and great knowledge about monsters had impressed everyone.

“Senior Meng, thanks to your guidance that day, I could complete harvesting a Star-tailed Scorpion on my own. The weight and quality of the materials I gathered fit my tutor’s requirements, so I can head to the next stage of my training!”

“Senior Meng, if it weren’t for you, I still wouldn’t know that the Nine-colored Crystal Tumor and Nine-colored Bone Tumor are two completely different materials. Their appearance, weight, and smell are completely the same, so how did you manage to tell?”

“Senior Meng…”

Many of the freshmen, sophomores, and even juniors shoved each other as they surrounded him.

Meng Chao quickly answered them, then took note of Ning Xueshi standing by the side with a smile with her arms crossed over her chest. No one knew how long she had been staring at him.

“Where are Elder Ning and Professor Luo?” Meng Chao went into the disinfection room and changed into protective clothes so that he could fulfill his promise of coming every day to harvest monsters for two hours in the resource course.

He had a few days’ worth of tasks piled up, so he had to work hard. The scale of the Ultimate Style’s experiments was about to become bigger. They would need more raw materials and gene medicine in the next stage, so he could not run away from working in depth with the resource course. He had to keep a good relationship with it.

“Grandpa and the professors in the course are talking about providing help to the frontlines in the north. Today, I’m in charge of watching everyone harvest. Of course, you’re in charge of watching them as well,” Ning Xueshi said.

“Look at you. With just a few casual words and pointers, you managed to solve their problems. Whew, you really look like the eldest senior disciple in the resource course. Why don’t you just switch over? With your skills, when I graduate next year, the position of the resource course student council president might end up in your hands.”

“Why are you talking about this again? I’m having a good time in the martial arts course.” Meng Chao smiled.

“Are you, though? I heard that you didn’t even have the right to enter the tournament between new students. And that’s despite you scoring the highest during the martial arts course’s admission test!” Ning Xueshi pursed her lips. “Did you know that the northern offense this time is very big?

“All the people in the city are mobilized, so we might be able to snatch more than one thousand square kilometers of living space. We could occupy a few valuable mine veins and discover a few of the satellite cities that have been lost to us since fifty years ago. It might allow us to save a lot of Earth’s descendants.

“Naturally, that also means that we will be hunting down hundreds and even thousands of new and powerful monsters. We might discover all sorts of rare and strange materials from them.

“Superhumans grow stronger only when they are beaten up. If they stay in a sheltered environment, they cannot get stronger. It’s only when they go through real battles that they can become truly powerful people. That’s why the universities are gathering the elites and forming an expansion unit to head to the frontlines.

“Grandpa and many of the professors of the resource course are going. Many of the upperclassmen and I are going too, but there are only a few freshmen who have the right to join.

“I heard that only the outstanding people from the freshmen tournament between the martial arts course and the monster controller course have the right to go. So, that means that you don’t have the right to go, right?”

Meng Chao nodded.

That was a problem.

He definitely had to go to the frontlines in the north. It was part of the reason why he was in such a hurry to look for Wu Wu or some other powerful person to prove his strength.

“You should go. Training a month in a real battlefield is better than cultivating for a year in university. You would have the chance to get rare materials and get to know powerful people as well. It’d be very beneficial for your business too,” Ning Xueshi said. “If the martial arts course doesn’t have a slot for you, you can take a slot from the resource course.”

Meng Chao thought about it. “Doesn’t that mean that I will be taking someone else’s place?”

“The powerful have special privileges,” Ning Xueshi said. “Are we supposed to not bring an expert like you but bring kids who can’t even hold their scalpels properly and destroy the brand of Agricultural University’s resource course? Don’t worry, if it were someone else, they might talk, but if it’s you, no freshman would dare to say no.”

Meng Chao smiled but rejected Ning Xueshi’s kind offer.

Studying some resource course classes, harvesting monsters for the resource course, and chatting with the professors over here was nothing.

But if he used the slots in the resource course to carry out missions, that would be going overboard.

His main goal for coming to Agricultural Universe was to develop its martial arts course and promote the Ultimate Style!

“It’s fine. I’ll have Grandpa talk about this with you later tonight. Come over now and help. By the way, have you ever learned how to perform injury examinations?” Ning Xueshi walked outside.

“Injury examinations?”

Meng Chao thought about it. Injury examination was a branch of harvesting skills. Its goal was not to gain materials from monsters, but to get a clear picture of the fatal injury to find out skill effects and monsters’ weaknesses. The gathered data helped upgrade martial arts while also giving hints about the best methods to fight against certain monsters.

Martial arts were not an antique that would never change. Instead, it was a science that constantly reformed and experienced rapid changes. If a monster was killed, especially an unknown monster, the harvesters would dissect it to get massive amounts of data and information from its injury. It helped them figure out the best ways to kill them.

Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu had managed to figure out the fusion between the future One Hundred Saber Techniques and Demon Subduing Pole through the wounds on the Bloody Moon Wolf King Meng Chao had killed and create Demon Subduing Slash.

This was the power of injury examination.

They had to dissect monster carcasses either way, but injury examination was much more difficult.

Hence, when humans fought with the goal of gathering resources, they usually came prepared. They attacked carefully and tried to kill in one shot to ensure that the monster’s carcass remained in perfect condition.

The ones that required injury examination were usually new monsters. Sometimes, the fights were conducted very hastily and were extremely dangerous. The fighters could not care about ensuring that the monster’s carcass remained in perfect condition, so they would be shredded up into a bloody mess.

The harvesters then had to search for the fatal wound in a pile of mashed up flesh. It was not much easier than searching for a needle in a haystack.
