Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 1605

Chapter 1605: Guilt

However, Meng Chao’s next suggestion made Shen Yuanbao unable to laugh.

“Secondly, crystals are the foundation of cultivation and the lifeblood of Dragon City. They must not be controlled by one family.”

Meng Chao said, “For the future of Dragon City, we have to split up Universe Corporation and Sky Pillar Corporation, the two super mining companies that are in private hands. We have to introduce third-party testing and auditing organizations, strengthen the monitoring of the Supernatural Tower and the Survival Committee, and introduce new companies that are owned by the entire nation to bid for mining, warehousing, and smelting. We have to ensure that not a single crystal can flow into private pockets without being declared.”

No matter how good-tempered Shen Yuanbao was after being seriously injured, he still jumped up from the medical pod when he heard this.

“Are you digging up the roots of the old Shen family?”

His eyes shone with a dark light as he stared coldly at Meng Chao.

“You know better than me how much the Red Creek Project has been depleted.”

Meng Chao said calmly, “As the old saying goes, when you find a cockroach in the house, there are at least a thousand cockroaches hiding in a place you can’t see.

“The Red Creek Project was the first batch of projects developed by the Dragon City civilization outside of Monster Mountain Range. It was a demonstration project and was watched by countless pairs of eyes. Some of the people in the Shen family were bold enough to take advantage of the project. Some of them were even corrupted by the blood union, resulting in the fire dragon burning the warehouse and the self-destruction of the Great Wall.

“I simply can’t imagine how many dirty things were hidden in the crystal mines. The two private mining groups, Sky Pillar and Universe, controlled them for years without attracting attention.

“How many crystals that should belong to all the superhumans and all the citizens of Dragon City, through such filthy means, have flowed into the hands of the Shen family and the Lu family? It is impossible to calculate.

“Perhaps, The Grand View of the Universe, which is worth billions of dollars, is one of the answers.

“However, when the Shen family and Lu family were taking advantage of public affairs and personal gains, you unwittingly offended everyone except yourselves. When you stand against everyone, including thousands of superhumans, no matter how strong one or two Deity Realm warriors are or how sturdy a fortress, such as The Grand View of the Universe, is, it’s impossible for it to resist the raging public sentiment and public opinion.

“Think about the superhumans gathered outside the Xinhui Business Center. Think about their resentful eyes!

“Do you really think that they are gathering for the underground black market?

“No. What stimulated so many low-level superhumans from humble families to unite, raise their arms, and roar is the omnipresent monopoly and injustice that pervades Dragon City and beyond!

“From this point of view, it is not that I want to dig out the roots of the old Shen family. You are seeking your own death!

“Moreover, the Shen family has encountered new trouble.

“If we are to say that the founder of Sky Pillar Corporation, the President of Dragon City’s Crystal Association, the chief prospector and expert of crystals in Dragon City, and the most educated Deity Realm warrior in Dragon City, Old Master Lu Zhongqi, is still vigorous and vigorous in his old age. It seems that he can still be alive and kicking in his peak state for twenty to thirty years or more. It is enough for him to protect Sky Pillar Corporation’s vested interests with his unparalleled strength, profound knowledge, elegant demeanor, and wisdom.

“Then, what about you, Shen Yuanbao, the founder of Universe Corporation?

“It is impossible to hide the fact that you were assassinated.

“It is also impossible to hide the fact that you were seriously injured.

“It is even more impossible to hide the argument that took place in The Grand View of the Universe.

“Right now, the news that you and the Shen family are weak has probably spread throughout dragon city.

“As the saying goes, ‘when the emperor loses his deer, all the heroes will chase after him.’ There is also a saying, ‘when a man is innocent, he will be punished for his wealth.’Can you guess how many heroes are sharpening their blades inside and outside of Dragon City right now, ready to slaughter the Shen family’s ‘deer’?

“And at the moment when the dragons are without a leader and the wind and rain are swaying, with so many crystal mines, are these crystal mines the wealth of the Shen family or the ‘crime’ of the Shen family?”

Shen Yuanbao gritted his teeth.

Two balls of flames seemed to be burning in the depths of his eyes.

It was like a heavily wounded hyena whose limbs were broken but still protected its food and did not want to be robbed by anyone.

However, there were many things in this world that could not be solved by wishful thinking.

“It is hard to start a business, but it is even harder to keep it.”

Meng Chao stared at Shen Yuanbao and said, “If you did not have the wisdom to retreat in a hurry, leaving so many crystal mines for your descendants would not be wealth but endless trouble.

“Besides, even without my proposal, there would not have been any third-party regulators and more competitors. It would still have been Universe Corporation and Sky Pillar Corporation. The two companies would have been competing against each other.

“After you were seriously injured and left the arena, which of your children, whether they are blood descendants or adopted children, would be able to compete with Lu Zhongqi of Sky Pillar Corporation?

“Instead of giving the market share to the competitors for free, it would be better to give it to all the citizens of Dragon City. It would be considered as helping their children and grandchildren to build a good relationship with all their compatriots and a good reputation. At the same time, it would also disgust the competitors, wouldn’t it?”

Shen Yuanbao was stunned.

From this point of view, it seemed that Meng Chao’s whimsical suggestion was not without reason.

“Continue.”

Shen Yuanbao said with a hoarse voice, “Let me hear. How many other evil ideas do you have?”

“I do.”

Meng Chao said calmly, “During the war, the Supernatural Tower implemented a long period of ‘contribution points system’. It was to accept and issue various combat missions for the superhumans to complete and accumulate contribution points. And all cultivation resources that were circulated by the Supernatural Tower, including but not limited to the crystal ores, monster materials, the entry time of the cultivation and medical pods, the cultivation and combat videos of the experts, and even the personal guidance of the experts, all required contribution points to be exchanged.

“I feel that this is a very good system that ensures fairness to the greatest extent. Even the super-rich and the children of the rich, who want to enjoy the strategic resources related to the future of the entire civilization, have to ensure that they make a corresponding contribution to the civilization.

“However, in practice, there are many problems with the contribution point system.

“For example, the underground black market is so popular that not all cultivation resources require contribution points to be exchanged; not all missions are publicly announced. Many disciples of wealthy families can easily issue simple missions and complete them in an instant, bypassing the rules of the game, and farming battle merits, contribution points, and honor at a speed a hundred times faster than the disciples of poor families.

“After the victory of the Monster War, very few people continue to issue combat missions, and the contribution points system is in a half-paralyzed, half-abolished state, which is really a pity!”
