Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 725

Chapter 725: Urgent Mission

The skeleton soldiers were one of the common undead creatures in the Other World.

In fact, without the protection of skin and flesh, as well as the lubrication of tendons and fats, their combat strength was even weaker than the undead creatures that were infected by the Blood Flowers in Dragon City.

However, the advantage was that there were enough of them. Moreover, after they were defeated, their broken bones would easily condense into new skeleton soldiers.

Even under the control of a necromancer, dozens or hundreds of skeleton soldiers could form a huge monster.

It had been one of the miscellaneous soldiers that had given people in Dragon City a headache in his previous life.

Therefore, Meng Chao had accumulated a lot of experience in fighting skeleton soldiers in his memory fragments from his previous life.

He also knew how the joints of skeleton soldiers could move freely without tendons, fat, or tissue fluid.

He felt that the skeleton soldiers did not look like regular undead “creatures” but rather a special kind of mechanical body.

If he used the techniques of the skeleton soldiers to develop mechanical martial arts, it might have a miraculous effect.

“Please don’t be so stiff.”

Meng Chao recalled the technique and demonstrated it to Lei Zongchao. “I don’t think that mechanical martial arts should be as stiff as zombies. Although metal is not as soft as flesh and blood, no one has stipulated that only one joint can be installed on a mechanical prosthetic limb and this joint can only be bent in a fixed direction!

“I think that the biggest advantage of a mechanical prosthesis compared with a human limb is its degree of freedom and flexibility. Even if a human joint is trained, it is very difficult for it to bend backward 180 degrees like a bird. Similarly, it is also impossible for it to bend into a circle like a nine-segment whip and hit the enemy from an unbelievable angle.

“However, as long as the mechanical prosthesis is installed with dozens of spherical joints that rotate 360 degrees, it won’t be a problem.

“Therefore, mechanical martial arts should be softer, weirder, and trickier than conventional martial arts.

“I don’t know the details, but you should understand what I mean, right, Master Lei?”

Although Meng Chao’s memories of his previous life were fragmented and he performed the moves of the skeleton soldiers in a mess, he was still a master of spirit martial arts.

Meanwhile, Lei Zongchao was a grandmaster of spirit martial arts. As long as he was given a tiny spark, he would be able to ignite the flames of infinite creativity.

“I see. I understand now!”

Lei Zongchao’s eyes were shining. He stood up abruptly and imitated Meng Chao’s movements, performing “skeleton martial arts”.

However, in contrast to Meng Chao’s sloppy and messy movements, his movements were clearly more mellow, familiar, and ferocious.

They were ten times sharper than the skeleton soldiers in Meng Chao’s memory.

It was not as if he had just studied them. It was as if he had been training for decades.

In Meng Chao’s eyes, the golden heavenly flame turned into a new line of words:

[With the help of the Fire Relayer, the progress of Battle God Lei Zongchao’s research and development in mechanical martial arts has greatly improved. Mechanical martial arts will help all the physically handicapped superhumans in Dragon City to strengthen their combat strength and bring about great progress in the field of mechanical prostheses research and development. Contribution points + 4,500]

What a guy. He had casually demonstrated a few skeleton soldier combat techniques and obtained 4,500 contribution points from Lei Zongchao.

He was indeed worthy of being Dragon City’s number one superhero!

Moreover, Lei Zongchao’s refinement and improvement had also allowed Meng Chao to have a deeper understanding of the essence of mechanical martial arts or skeleton martial arts.

That was how the two of them had been interacting during the past half-year.

What Meng Chao and Lei Zongchao had was not unilateral indoctrination.

While Lei Zongchao had poured the fruits of his life into Meng Chao’s brain, Meng Chao had also been feeding martial arts of the future to the Battle God from the memory fragments of his previous life.

He knew a lot about martial arts of the future, but he did not know why. He had even taken a glimpse of them but could barely imitate them.

However, Lei Zongchao was superhuman. In the depths of the ancient ruins, he could comprehend the mysteries of extraordinary power from a few runes.

As long as Meng Chao could point out to him where the door to the future development of martial arts was, he had the ability to kick it open and lead Meng Chao inside to excavate the treasures.

While Meng Chao’s strength had soared through the roof with the Battle God’s guidance, Lei Zongchao had also received countless wonderful ideas thanks to Meng Chao’s enlightenment.

Of course, all the benefits he received were returned to Meng Chao in the form of contribution points.

Therefore, they were not mere master and disciple, but they were more tacit and intimate than ordinary master and disciple.

Just like Lei Zongchao’s self-deprecation, they were comrades-in-arms who shared the same goals and shared the same exploration on the path of transcendence.

He had accompanied Lei Zongchao for several hours in cultivating mechanical martial arts.

It took him a lot of effort to train the old man to his heart’s content and convince him to return to the medical cabin to rest.

As for Meng Chao, he immediately went to the ancient ruins research center at the bottom of the Supernatural Tower.

He was prepared to make up for the progress he had made in the past two days of testing outside.

The short-distance instantaneous transmigration on the planet’s surface, or portal for short, already had 9.9% of its tests completed, and it had entered the mass production stage.

Meng Chao helped the Project 101 team to create three buffer liquids with the most optimized ratios.

Buffer Solution No. 1 had the lowest cost. It could reduce the cost of transporting people to less than one-third of the cost of traditional transportation methods. Plus, it could completely ignore the effects of terrain and distance.

The flaw was that people who transmigrated instantly would be greatly affected by “transmigration vertigo”. In three to five hours, they would be in a lighthearted, dizzy, and nauseous state. They would basically lose the ability to fight.

If the humans had huge control over the starting point and their destination, they could ensure the safety of their surroundings. If there was no need for the teleporter to immediately engage in battle, using buffer No. 1 was the most cost-effective choice.

Buffer No. 2’s cost was moderate, about 120% of the traditional transportation method. The advantage was a greatly shortened duration of transmigration vertigo. In about half an hour, it could restore 70-80% of their combat strength.

Buffer No. 3 used a large number of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, which were mixed with the blood of various monsters. The transportation cost was more than 500% of the traditional transportation method, but it could reduce the duration of dizziness to less than three minutes.

Considering Buffer No. 3’s main role, which was to directly put elite combat power into the battlefield where the fighting was taking place, the cost was completely acceptable.

The Project 101 team was very grateful to Meng Chao for his contribution.

They also fulfilled the promise they had made half a year ago. They exchanged the time that Meng Chao had earned for the use of the team’s large-scale research equipment into a deposit for the portal. They also inserted the order for Superstar Resource into the orders for the Red Dragon Army and nine mega corporations.

Everyone worked together happily. Naturally, Meng Chao had to put in a lot of effort for the final test.

Moreover, he had a vague feeling that every time he transmigrated, he would see the sea of stars and countless shining worlds. It would be very beneficial to his spirit energy cultivation!

However, just as he put on the buffer suit and was about to carry out the test, Wu Haibo rushed over.

“Pause the test!”

Wu Haibo made a hand gesture and said in a low voice, “Meng Chao, Battle God Palace is asking you to go there.”

“Battle God Palace?”

Meng Chao was slightly stunned. He had just come over from Battle God Palace not even half an hour ago.

He had a bad feeling, so he nodded and said, “I’ll go up there now.”

Five minutes later, Meng Chao appeared in the conference room attached to the Battle God Palace hall and found more than ten members there. They were at least in the Heaven Realm and looking energetic.

Led by Long Feijun who was at the peak of Heaven Realm, most of them were young military officers from the Red Dragon Army.

Meng Chao often sparred with these young military officers in Battle God Palace.

He helped Lei Zongchao teach them the profound meaning of the Battle God’s path and also inspired them to pursue the Battle God’s path in the future.

His father, Meng Yishan, was also a veteran of the Red Dragon Army, and Superstar Resource had gradually developed into one of the Red Dragon Army’s largest logistics suppliers.

The color of the Red Dragon Army on Meng Chao’s body was quite strong.

These young officers all treated him as one of their own.

Seeing him appear, they all greeted him.

However, the warmth and valiance on the surface could not hide the confusion between their brows.

“Meng Chao.”

A familiar voice rang out behind the young officers.

Meng Chao focused his eyes and saw that it was the deputy director of the Abnormal Beast Research Department, as well as former team leader of Team Nine, Ye Xiaoxing, who had directly commanded him and Lu Siya.

“Director Ye, why are you here?”

Meng Chao walked over and saw a few old acquaintances from the Abnormal Beast Research Department standing beside Ye Xiaoxing.

They were all experienced and capable investigators.

They had fought side by side with him in the Blessed Paradise murderous pets case, the surprise attack in Blessed Paradise, and the battle in the Lair”.

Many people had settled down in the family courtyard of the Abnormal Beast Research Department, and they were neighbors of Meng Chao’s family.

During the holidays, they would help Chao Meng’s family bring festive supplies from the department.

Things like zongzi stuffed with Demonic Pig meat or dumplings stuffed with Iron-Armored Rhinoceros meat were not worth much.

However, when monsters attacked, they would watch out for each other.

They had helped a lot with his sister, Bai Jiacao’s college entrance exam too.

Their relationship was not ordinary.

Nevertheless, when he saw the person behind Ye Xiaoxing, Meng Chao was so shocked that he forgot to greet his colleagues and neighbors.

“Master Lei, why have you come out?”

Meng Chao knew that Lei Zongchao and Ye Xiaoxing were good friends.

Back then, Lei Zongchao had donated startup funds to Broken Star Club, the training cabin specially designed for the Ultimate Style, and the training plan that he had customized for Meng Chao. All of them had been passed on to him through Ye Xiaoxing.

However, it had been a long time since Lei Zongchao left the room that was filled with Black Star, which was used to stabilize his vitality magnetic field.

Not to mention, he and Meng Chao had been studying mechanical martial arts in high spirits for several hours, and their energy had been exhausted. Only then did they reluctantly go back to the medical cabin.

What had happened in the past half an hour, that it alarmed Battle God Lei Zongchao?

Meng Chao was the last person they had invited.

Once they saw him, the young officers and senior investigators took their seats one after another.

Ye Xiaoxing walked to Meng Chao’s side and coughed lightly before he said, “Meng Chao, there’s something we think we should invite you to participate in.

“You should know that Team Leader Lu is on a classified mission, right?”

“Yes.”

Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and stared at Ye Xiaoxing. “Is she injured?”

“I don’t know.”

Ye Xiaoxing shook his head and said, “Three hours ago, Team Leader Lu and the entire Team Nine went missing.”
