Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 721
Chapter 721: Intense Reaction
“Ms. Mulian, why do you behave so strangely every time you see me?”
Seeing her flattered expression, Meng Chao could not help but joke, “It’s either like a little white rabbit seeing a big bad wolf, or it’s like seeing a superstar who’s even more powerful than the emperor… A box of oral nutrition liquid is not better than the great people in our textbooks. Is there a need for such a reaction?”
Su Mulian immediately blushed and was at a loss. She stammered, “I-I didn’t mean it like that. I’m just very grateful Mr. Meng Chao. You’ve done so much for our Leprosy Village. We should be the ones giving you a gift!”
“I just got lucky and accidentally exposed the enemy’s ploy.”
Meng Chao said, “I’m not like you. You suffer indescribable pain every day. Day after day, year after year, you do everything you can to treat people you don’t know.
“To be honest, I’m willing to risk my life for tens of millions of human beings and fight monsters. Even if I die, it will only take three to five minutes for the monsters to chew on me.
“However, it’s too torturous for me to endure endless pain like you. I’ll probably last a mere three to five days, not more.
“So, you’re still the better one. Don’t look at me like that. I should be looking at you with admiration!”
Those words were not a joke.
They were Meng Chao’s heartfelt words.
It was precisely because he had ignited the Kindling that he did not make any contribution to Dragon City every day.
Only then did he know better than anyone else how difficult it was to persist in making contributions day after day.
There was an old saying on Earth: It was not difficult for a person to do a good deed. What was difficult was to do good deeds for the rest of one’s life.
Every time he made a contribution, he would receive immediate feedback and receive timely treatment for his injuries and illnesses. He could only grit his teeth and persevere after that.
In contrast, selfless devotees like Su Mulian and Lei Zongchao did not hesitate to burn themselves with just their faith and will. They constantly released light and warmth that could illuminate tens of millions of people.
The more he stayed with these true devotees, the more Meng Chao felt that he was a fish in the water, an opportunist who had mixed in with the devotees.
Therefore, he really admired people like Su Mulian and Lei Zongchao, and he was willing to give everything to support them.
“You didn’t just stop the abnormal beast conspiracy, but you also stopped Leprosy Village’s destruction and started the Lair’s reconstruction. Everyone is very grateful to you. They all know that if it weren’t for your charisma and help in raising so much money and resources, who knows how long we would have had to live in the darkness of the past!”
Hearing Meng Chao’s praise, Su Mulian’s cheeks and the tip of her nose turned red. “Wild Wolf is wild and unruly. He never admires anyone, but even he has told me himself that he really admires you! As long as you give the order, all the members of the Wild Wolves will definitely not frown!”
“What would I want them to do?”
Meng Chao did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Ms. Mulian, the age difference between us is not too big. Can’t we relax a little and become friends? Do we have to make our relationship so serious and stiff?”
“F-Friends?”
Su Mulian swallowed hard and laughed dryly. She then reluctantly said, “We’ve been friends from the start, Mr. Meng Chao!”
“…I remember what I said half a year ago. You can call me Brother Meng, Brother Chao, or Fellow Student Meng Chao. Just don’t call me Mr. Meng Chao. It sounds weird no matter how I hear it!”
Looking at Su Mulian’s trembling face, Meng Chao gave up. “Forget it. It seems that chatting with me is a form of torture. In that case, I’ll ask you to take a look at my injuries, Ms. Mulian!
“There’s no need for treatment. You just need to help me look for flaws and see if there are any minor internal injuries. After that, you can help me repair myself. This time, my injuries are quite serious. You won’t be able to absorb them.”
Since he had used up more than 100,000 to 200,000 contribution points in exchange for an advanced healing technique, he would be able to solve most of his issues. Meng Chao did not want Su Mulian to suffer unnecessary injuries.
However, considering the black technology in the ancient ruins, it very likely contained a mystery that humans had yet to discover. He was afraid that it would leave something strange in his body. Hence, Meng Chao requested Su Mulian, an expert with incredible healing talent, to check it out.
The place they were in had originally been Golden Tooth’s headquarters, “Saber” Jin Wanhao’s private infirmary.
It was equipped with the most advanced medical facilities in Dragon City.
Meng Chao took off his coat, revealing layers of wounds that looked like medals. He stepped into the infirmary and slowly poured on the medicament.
Su Mulian touched his wounds gently, and her fingertips were trembling slightly. She could not help but exclaim, “So… So many wounds. What did you go through in the past six months?”
“It looks horrifying, but they’re all superficial wounds. I didn’t activate my spirit energy to stimulate the skin cells and metabolize the proliferating tissues because I thought it would be too troublesome.”
After that, Meng Chao asked, “Shall we begin?”
“Let’s begin. I will definitely save you, Mr. Meng Chao!” Su Mulian’s expression instantly became solemn and unspeakable.
“I keep feeling that your choice of words is a little weird…”
Meng Chao mumbled and took a deep breath. His entire head was then submerged into the medicine, allowing the liquid to flow through his nose and into his lungs.
At the same time, his vitality magnetic field blossomed slowly like a spring bud. Spirit energy flowed through his body gradually like jade-colored marrow, replenishing him of the tests and training from the past half a year, as well as the tiny wounds in his blood vessels, bones, nerves, muscles, internal organs, and spirit meridians.
Su Mulian’s vitality magnetic field also bloomed slowly and danced lightly. It steadily formed a unique tacit understanding with Meng Chao’s vitality magnetic field and even triggered an indescribable resonance. That allowed each healing technique, which Meng Chao had exchanged, to give him 300% of the effects every time.
An hour later…
Meng Chao slowly opened his eyes. He felt as if he had gone through a long hibernation.
As he stretched his body casually, every cell in his body was akin to a bird in spring, singing joyfully.
“It’s amazing!
“It was indeed the right choice to ask you to treat me, Ms. Mulian.
“I’ve only experienced the resonance of the vitality magnetic field when I cultivated with Sister Ya in the past.
“That’s weird. Sister Ya and I resonated with each other because we absorbed the dual spirit tides of the Red Radiance Jade and the Blue Origin Crystal. Why did we resonate, Ms. Mulian? Is this the talent of a healer?”
Seeing that Su Mulian had worked hard for an hour and looked a little tired, Meng Chao hurriedly climbed out of the medical pod and helped her to the side to express his gratitude.
Su Mulian was naturally still “overwhelmed by the favor and trembling with fear”.
Such an attitude really made people not have the desire to chat.
Meng Chao could only cut straight to the point. “By the way, Ms. Mulian, can we discuss what we talked about last time?”
“What happened last time?” Su Mulian was slightly taken aback.
“We’re going to Battle God Palace to meet Elder Lei Zongchao, the Battle God. We’re going to take a look at his injuries.”
Meng Chao said, “I mentioned it to you several times in the past six months. However, at that time, you were still busy with Leprosy Village’s demolition. Later on, you went to the frontlines with the medical team, so you didn’t have the time.
“It’s better to choose the right time. Aren’t you free these two days? Do you want to go to Battle God Palace with me and meet Elder Lei?”
“Huh?”
Su Mulian was so nervous that she almost fell backward like a stick.
The fear that came from the bottom of her heart once again appeared on her face like the time she discovered Meng Chao’s identity.
Meng Chao was confused. “Did I scare you again?”
“No, no, no.”
Su Mulian also realized that her reaction had been too big. She clutched her chest, took a few deep breaths, and forced a smile. “I’m not scared. I’m… I’m too tired. That’s right, too tired.”.
“Mr. Meng Chao, can you… No, can you not take me to see the Battle God?” she asked carefully and pitifully.
Meng Chao said, “Of course. It’s your right to see whoever you want, but why?”
Battle God Lei Zongchao was the number one superhero in Dragon City. Any citizen from the age of three to eighty-three, who wanted to see him could line up from the Supernatural Tower all the way to Monster Mountain Range.
Even if there were people who were not interested in the Battle God, they would not have such a big reaction. It was as though they were about to go to the dragon’s den and the tiger’s den to see an old demon who would not even spit out a bone, right?
“This…”
Su Mulian frowned and thought for a long time before she said, “Because I’m not confident that I can cure Elder Lei. I’m afraid, afraid that you will be disappointed.”
“Hey, what kind of reason is that?!”
Meng Chao did not know whether to laugh or cry, “I told you last time that Elder Lei’s injury is very strange. I’m not even sure if it’s even considered an ‘injury’. In short, all the famous doctors from the major hospitals and top clinics in Dragon City, as well as the experts and scholars in the field of life sciences, have been helpless. No one expects a little girl like you to really cure Elder Lei!
“However, you are very talented, and I was hoping that you could give it a try. Maybe you could come up with some ideas that other famous doctors and specialists didn’t think of?
“Also, I believe that you would like to continue training your ability and save more people, right?
“Then, you need to absorb nutrients from all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases.
“Many doctors have been dreaming of the honor and opportunity to personally examine the body of Battle God Lei Zongchao. I thought that you would be overjoyed!
“Besides, although the housing and work problems of Leprosy Village’s people have been largely solved, no one would refuse to climb higher.
“Elder Lei’s Battle God Palace has a lot of connections, resources, and business opportunities. I really want to help Leprosy Village again and introduce these connections, resources, and business opportunities to you.”
Those were Meng Chao’s sincere words.
Battle God Lei Zongchao’s health had been getting worse and worse in the past six months.
According to him, his vitality magnetic field was gradually falling apart and becoming increasingly out of control.
That made Meng Chao anxious and desperate. He wanted to turn the fate of the fallen heroes at the end of the Monster War in his previous life around.
However, Meng Chao was not naive enough to think that Su Mulian would be able to just turn things around.
After all, the Battle God had long heard about Su Mulian’s name and deeds.
Many people in Battle God Palace also wanted to invite Dragon City’s Saintess there for treatment.
However, Lei Zongchao had always laughed it off, saying that his biggest problem was not his body and that it was not something that a doctor could solve.
Meng Chao wanted Su Mulian to meet Lei Zongchao. On one hand, he wanted Su Mulian to try her luck.
On the other more important hand, he wanted to promote a deep collaboration between Battle God Palace and Leprosy Village, so that the villagers could live a more prosperous life.
