Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 236

Chapter 236: At the End, His Goal Is Revealed

His excited words made Meng Chao’s eyes tear up a little while under the cliff.

“I knew it,” he mouthed to Qin Hu. “Big Brother Hu’s motives are definitely not vulgar.”

“Yes, yes, he’s noble, and I’m vulgar.” Qin Hu responded by mouthing his answer as well. His moustache moved as he did so. “So, who are you siding with?”

Meng Chao was conflicted for a long time before he answered with a scrunched up face. He looked like he was suffering from constipation. “I’ll side with you, Mr. Hu.”

Qin Hu huffed and rolled his eyes.

“Dragon City is sick, and if it continues developing like this, the strong will get stronger, and the weak will get weaker. Even if we really do win the Monster War, our goal of having our ‘steel army sweep through the Other World’ will not end well. One of these days, Dragon City will definitely be destroyed!”

Lin Chuan was completely convinced by his logic. He even growled at Lu Siya. “I want to change the order and save Dragon City so that our civilization will renew itself! And if I want to realize my dreams, I need incomparable power! The Red Radiance Jade mine will help me. As long as I find the main mine and cultivate there for a few years, I will definitely reach Deity Realm and become invincible!”

“You’re just daydreaming,” Lu Siya criticized coldly. “Forget about how strong the radiation from the Red Radiance Jade mine is, it’s also very unstable. It’s very difficult to use it to cultivate. And do you actually think that I will help you find the Red Radiance Jade mine now?”

Lin Chuan smiled. “Why not?”

Lu Siya smiled bitterly and said, “Once I find the Red Radiance Jade mine for you, you’ll silence me, right? I’m not that much of an idiot. If you want to kill me, do it now!”

Lin Chuan gave her a strange smile. “I won’t kill you. Once we find the Red Radiance Jade mine, you can leave whenever you want. If there are extra Red Radiance Jades besides those that Whitey and I need to cultivate, you can mine them with Sky Pillar Corporation. I won’t mind.”

“You…” This time, Lu Siya was really stunned. “You’ll let me go? Aren’t you afraid that I will tell the Supernatural Tower that you’re working together with a monster to kill humans?”

“Will you, Siya? I know you too well. You’re the same as your father. You’re both ambitious and hunger for power. To obtain the authority over Sky Pillar Corporation, you will trample on all laws and risk everything. You will even go over your boundaries.”

Lin Chuan smiled coldly and said, “Don’t forget that to the world, I share an ambiguous relationship with you. I even stayed a few years in your house and have long since been treated as part of the Lu family. We’re seen as comrades by others.

“Just now, you mentioned that I belong to your side. If you go to the Supernatural Tower to accuse me of working together with a monster, won’t you be accusing yourself?

“Also, I killed Lu Silian and a lot of rich people, including Shen Yulong. The wrath of their families will not subside even after they cut me to pieces. Who else will they blame then? Naturally, it’s you and your father.

“Even if you can clear yourselves of blame with the law, you will definitely no longer be in favor in the Lu family, and you can forget about making a comeback for the rest of your lives!”

Lu Siya trembled violently and flew into a rage. “Lin Chuan, my father and I treated you so well, and yet you set us up? You’re an ungrateful piece of crap!”

“Heh, if my dad hadn’t saved your father’s life during the collapse of the mine and used the last of his life to push him out of the cave, if your father hadn’t wanted to use me to make it look like he valued his relationships, and if he hadn’t discovered my talent, would the both of you have been so nice to me?” Lin Chuan asked faintly.

“But even if your father had ulterior motives, I don’t intend to bite the hand that fed me. On the contrary, I came to repay the favor in this mission.

“Siya, I know that you’re ambitious and smart. You want to reach the top of Sky Pillar Corporation, but you won’t be able to if you just rely on your ambition, intellect, and connections. You need the protection of a peerless elite.

“Haven’t you realized that even now, I’m leaving you an option? You, me, and Whitey can work together.

“I’ll use the Red Radiance Jade mine and your power to become matchless, and you can use Whitey and my strength to get rid of your competitors and clear out all your obstacles to fulfill your ambitions.

“Whitey will also become the queen of beasts with our help. She will be rule over a batch of monsters and provide us with great help.

“In the end, you can get Sky Pillar Corporation, and I will get the chance to change Dragon City. Whitey will also be able to rule over Monster Mountain Range. We’ll be killing three birds with one stone.

“The Other World is large, and there are definitely even more resources hidden outside. We don’t have to fight to the death against smart monsters like Whitey in this puny Monster Mountain Range. We’ll just end up dying together. What do you think?”

“I’m going to say this: You’re either mad, or you’re completely bewitched by this wolf! I won’t help you even if I die!” Lu Siya said coldly.

“Don’t act that way. I can’t bear seeing you die.” Lin Chuan put up his signature, charming smile. He stepped down a blood drenched flight of stairs made of air and slowly arrived in front of Lu Siya.

He knelt down on one knee and used two bloody fingers to lift her chin. He said softly, “Siya, I know that you have always liked me, and I do like you as well. But the timing was never ripe. That’s why I was never able to show you my true self.

“I promise you that if you work together with me, once everything ends and I’m invincible, I’ll be together with you lawfully, and we won’t have to worry about other people talking about us behind our backs.”

Lu Siya shuddered.

She stared at Lin Chuan, as if she was getting to know him again. She mumbled, “I finally get it. In the past, I thought that you either had a heart made of stone or was some sort of moral prude. I even thought that you didn’t like women, which is why you would ignore my hints and rather sleep together with Meng Chao.”

Under the cliff, Qin Hu perked up. All his fatigue was gone, and his eyes shone brightly.

Meng Chao really wanted to cry. “We were just talking and sparring!”

“I get it. You were just ‘sparring’. I completely get it,” Qin Hu quickly comforted him. “Don’t worry. I’m not a woman who likes to gossip. I’m famous for being able to keep secrets in the field. If we’re able to escape from this and some reporter comes up to me, I will only say that you were ‘chatting with each other and sparring’!”

Meng Chao gritted his teeth and perked up his ears to continue listening to the conversation on the cliff in hopes that he could find an opening or a weak point and seize the chance to do something.

“I understand now. You just have an inferiority complex,” Lu Siya said clearly. “The mighty Weeping Reaper, the super idol worshipped by countless Dragon City girls, is actually a person with an incredibly low self-esteem!”

Lin Chuan’s smile turned stiff, and his handsome mask started cracking. His expression turned monstrous again. “All poor people have low self-esteem. You’re a lucky girl born with a silver spoon. You will never understand it.

“Enough with the nonsense. Are you going to help me or not?”

“Never. Lin Chuan, don’t assume that you know me well. I can give up on a lot of things for the sake of personal interests, but there are still certain things that I will not give up.” Lu Siya might have remained sitting on the ground, but her back was straight.

“Why?!” Lin Chuan roared. “For the sake of personal interests, you even spared scum like Shen Yulong and were willing to let him live, but you refuse to help me and give me a chance!”

“That’s right, with how things are right now, if Shen Yulong or anyone else extended their hand to me, I would agree to work with them.” Lu Siya looked pleased for finally being able to take her revenge. “But I won’t help you, Lin Chuan. I can help anyone, but not you.”

“Why? Is it because I can’t even compare to Shen Yulong in your heart?” Lin Chuan flew into a rage.

“Even if I say it, you won’t understand.” Lu Siya smiled coldly. “There’s something you said that is right. We’re not the same kind of people at all. You’re a man, and I’m a woman, and a conceited man who has low self-esteem like yourself will never understand a woman’s thoughts.”

Lin Chuan seethed with rage.

The White Spirit beside him suddenly raised its three fluffy tails.

Lin Chuan instantly calmed down.

“It’s fine. I don’t need to understand it.” A strange smile appeared on his lips. “You’ll work together with me willingly.”

He took a step back, and the White Spirit moved forward.

Its crystalline fur on its tails stood up, and like a peacock spreading its tail, it blocked Lu Siya’s vision.

“W-What are you—?”

Before Lu Siya could finish her question, she suddenly looked dazed, and the image of the three white tails swaying about were reflected in her pupils.

“This is bad. The White Spirit is brainwashing Lu Siya,” Meng Chao said anxiously. “We need to hit it.”

“What?” Qin Hu was shocked. “I thought the talent of the three-tailed Illusion Wolf was to create illusions. It can even control human minds?”

“Middle grade and high grade superbeasts don’t just have one skill. Creating illusions and mind control is just one step apart. They’re both skills that involve the release and interference of brain waves.”

Meng Chao’s mind raced as he analyzed the situation, “But I think that the current White Spirit isn’t too good when it comes to its mind control. Lu Siya also seems to be determined. If it wants to brainwash this ruthless woman, it will need to use up a lot of energy.

“Look, its tails are all straight. A lot of spirit energy ripples are spreading out. So, its tails aren’t actually cooling systems, but antennas.

“Since it’s using so many antennas, the brain waves it releases must be very shocking. Its vitality magnetic field should also be very chaotic. Its body is even swaying. That means my guess is right.

“It’s currently paying the price for brainwashing, and the success rate is probably not high. Otherwise, Lin Chuan wouldn’t have needed to talk for so long just now. It could have just gone straight to brainwash Lu Siya.

“There’s no time for further explanations. Mr. Hu, this is the time when the White Spirit is at its weakest. We only have one chance to get rid of the White Spirit. Then, Lin Chuan will be alone, and if we work together with Lu Siya, our chances of winning will be very high!”

Qin Hu was still hesitating. “How high is your high?”

“From eight to nine percent, and if you multiply eight with nine, you’ll get 72. If you round up that number, our chances of winning are 100%. We’re going to win!” Meng Chao tried to boost his morale.

Qin Hu spat. “Brat, did your PE teacher teach you math at elementary school?”

Meng Chao was stunned. “How did you know?”

Qin Hu ignored him. “I don’t think there’s a reason for us to fight so hard. Once they find the Red Radiance Jade mine, we’ll seize the chance to escape from the underground and report their crimes to the Supernatural Tower. Then, the adjudicators from the Supernatural Tower will arrive, and they will have no choice but to surrender.”

Meng Chao smiled wanly.

That was what Qin Hu did in his previous life.

He was able to hide himself until Lin Chuan left with the White Spirit and escaped.

Unfortunately, once the northern offense failed and Dragon City ran out of money to support the fight to build their first branch base, their fate in the apocalypse was set. Even if they destroyed Lin Chuan and the White Spirit, they could not change anything.

Meng Chao widened his eyes to show his earnestness and said this through gritted teeth, “We don’t have time to get reinforcements. Mr. Hu, we’re the only ones who can change everything and save Dragon City!”

“Shut it,” Qin Hu said instinctively. “Do you think I’m sick in the head? Why do I have to work together with a brat like you who doesn’t know anything to be a hero and save friggin’ Dragon City?”

“Because your wife, children, your children’s children, and your children’s children’s children are all in Dragon City,” Meng Chao said seriously. “Trust me. Right now, you’re the only one who can save them.”

Qin Hu was stunned by Meng Chao’s gaze. It was as if he was staring straight into his soul. He could not help but loosen his grip over the youth’s wrist.

Meng Chao used the chance to break free of his hold and climb half a meter up. He grabbed the grenade launcher and sucked in a deep breath. He peeked out from under the cliff and used the stones as well as mangled corpses as cover. Then, he narrowed his eyes, took aim, and locked onto his target.

The White Spirit’s fluffy tails appeared in his scope.

He placed his finger on the trigger.
