Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 95
Chapter 95: University Choice
It was a thank you email.
Luo Hai stated that with Meng Chao’s help, he managed to get into Dragon City University’s martial arts course and added that Meng Chao was free to contact him at any time after he woke up.
He and his father, Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu, would definitely support him with everything that they had so that he could walk down far in his path as a superhuman.
Meng Chao thought about it.
Luo Hai was definitely someone with great methods and plans if he managed to become the student council president of Construction High. He had to be thinking about drawing him into his camp.
Meng Chao did not want to join his group, but there was no problem with them becoming friends. Besides, his father was a six-star superhuman. If Meng Chao managed to form a connection with him, he could have a better chance of collecting contribution points and promoting the Ultimate Style.
So he immediately replied. After exchanging some pleasantries, he thanked Master Luo Wu for showing concern.
Once Meng Chao was done with the emails, he went to his class’ group chat to take a look.
[Meng Chao, you’re awake!]
When his classmates saw that his icon had lit up in the group chat, they cheered.
[As expected of Ace Student Chao. We thought that your performance in school was already terrifying enough, but we didn’t think that you would rain down slaughter during the practical test as well. You’re awesome!]
[Ace Student Chao, did you see our homeroom teacher’s face? When he learned that you managed to make a meritorious service, he grinned so widely that his face split apart! He’s been on cloud nine for the past few days!]
[Meng Chao, you okay? A few days ago, Big Brother Xiong brought us to the hospital to visit you. You were still unconscious at that time. How are you now?]
The classmates were really friendly, and warmth pooled in Meng Chao’s heart.
He smiled and answered them, saying that it was too late for visitation now, but he would be discharged and could go home tomorrow. But since his house was small and he could not organize a party there, it would be better if they met outside so that all the people in Class 6 could gather together to eat.
The classmates were fine with it. Many people even thanked him for his sincerity.
With the help from the study group, most were able to get into the university or college of their choice.
And those that did not manage to get into university were able to get into the best courses for their postsecondary specialized colleges.
[Even though Principal Sun is no longer around, he must definitely be smiling in heaven right now after seeing how outstanding this batch of students are, right?] Meng Chao said.
The students sighed.
At that moment, Chu Feixiong logged in, and he was so excited that he started howling in the chat.
It was only at that moment that Meng Chao learned that he had changed his best friend’s fate. Feixiong had miraculously gotten into the heroic spirit course in Dragon City’s military school!
[It’s luck! It’s all luck!] Chu Feixiong texted smugly. [Honestly, with my fighting abilities, even if I managed to somehow crawl up to the admission score for the military school, I wouldn’t have been able to get into the heroic spirit course, but when I was sent to the wild, didn’t I lie to the students and gather a large number of examinees to my side?
[Then, I fought against those Demonic Bloody Moon Wolves with you, so everyone said that I was fearless in the face of danger, fought bravely, and took proactive action in saving my peers. So I gained an extra thirty marks, and my total score was half a mark higher than the minimum passing score for the heroic spirit score!”
Even if there was a screen between them, Meng Chao could still sense how delighted Chu Feixiong was based on his words.
The students who were allocated to the other test areas sent laughing emojis. [Why weren’t we as lucky as you to get into the same test area as Meng Chao? We could have ridden on his coattails and killed those monsters as well. We might have gotten ten or twenty more marks as a bonus too!”
Their words made Meng Chao feel a little embarrassed.
[By the way, Meng Chao, you contributed much more than I did, so you must have gotten a lot more bonus points. I heard from our homeroom teacher that you managed to join the top one hundred in the city. That’s an unprecedented record in Ninth High School. You can choose whichever top course in the famous universities now. Where do you intend to go?] Chu Feixiong asked.
[That’s right! Ace Student Chao, where do you intend to go? We have to be prepared at all times to ride on your coattails!] His classmates texted.
[I haven’t decided yet. Anyway, Dragon City is only so big. No matter where I go, we’re still family. It’s only logical for us to ride on each other’s coattails.]
Meng Chao thought about it and added, [Once I’ve come to a decision, I’ll tell all of you immediately. Even though the national college examination has ended, our study group hasn’t been disbanded. Even if we end up in different universities, we can still continue talking to each other if we run into things we don’t understand in our fields.]
His classmates agreed to it excitedly.
Chu Feixiong added Meng Chao into a small group.
It had him, Meng Chao, and Demon Yan.
Yan Dongxin went straight to the point. [Meng Chao, congratulations on performing a meritorious deed and recovering. I heard that you haven’t chosen your specialization. Do you need me to give you some suggestions?]
Demon Yan was once a soldier, and now, he was an ace teacher. He had been in the supernatural circle for years, so his suggestions were worth listening to.
Meng Chao spoke his mind. He told Demon Yan about his situation, including the fact that his main meridians were damaged, and he was currently a broken-star superhuman.
Of course, he did not tell Demon Yan that he could use contribution points to repair his main meridians. That was a secret.
Him becoming a superhuman in a fight against the Bloody Moon Wolf King was something that many people had witnessed, though.
In that sort of situation, no matter what, his main meridians would be damaged.
Demon Yan was not surprised. [If that’s the case, you have fewer choices when it comes to your specialization. Are you thinking about going into a fighting occupation or supporting occupation?]
[I’m definitely going to major in fighting] Meng Chao answered without hesitation.
He could minor in harvesting skills, but powerful fighting skills were the only safe guarantee. Handing his fate into the hands of other powerful fighters was the same as attending to trivial things and neglecting the essentials. It was the stupidest thing to do.
Besides, Meng Chao, who was prepared to start off his journey with the Ultimate Style, did not have an urgent need to clear his main meridians.
For the time being, he had the Demon Subduing Pole Principal Sun gave him as well as the Ultimate Level One Hundred Saber Technique. It was enough for him to make the decision to take up a fighting occupation.
Cultivating his branch meridians to fight was the problem he had to solve now.
Demon Yan quickly replied. [If I narrow down the scope of fighting occupations to only martial artists, then the four martial arts courses in the famous universities in Dragon City each have their own unique features.
[The one standing at the top is definitely Dragon City University’s martial arts course. This is the birthplace of the Overkill Style, and it lives up to its name as the tyrant of martial arts. If your main meridians weren’t damaged, I would have strongly suggested that you go to Dragon City University’s martial arts course.
[But you have only cleared three of your main meridians, so it’s quite pointless for you to go to Dragon City University. You’ll only be able to practice a few moves, and it’ll be difficult for you to get full credit and graduate. And even if you graduate, you’ll only be able to say that you graduated from Dragon City University, which is meaningless. The monsters don’t look at your qualifications when they fight against you, after all.]
That was what Meng Chao believed as well.
Even though Dragon City University’s martial arts course was the holy ground were all martial artists flocked to like bees to honey, as of current, he only had four main meridians that he could use, so he could not generate 99% of his spirit energy magnetic field, which meant that there was no need for him to go there.
Besides, when the Ultimate Style began to rise to power, it stood like oil and water with the Overkill Style.
Not only did they engage in fights over their doctrines, they also fought over interests that were worth crazy amounts of money.
If he went off like an idiot to the main camp of the Overkill Style to promote the Ultimate Style, it would be the same as him running off to the headquarters of Yan Organization and crying out that the Reckless Bull Technique was the greatest force execution method and matchless in power.
He would just be asking for it if he ended up being beaten half to death.
[Aside from Dragon City University, which you know is the top dog, the martial arts courses in the other three universities have recently improved as well. They want to use their own specialties to challenge Dragon City University.
[The first is the University of Technology’s martial arts course. Their creation of the spirit energy magnetic field is naturally not as profound and abstruse as Dragon City University, but it has developed a new method of fighting. They use machines to help their bodies and have been creating the machine armor style.
[The machines are unmanned aerial vehicles, and the armor is dynamic. They also have strengthened exoskeletons which have their own spirit stone engines and accumulative power feedback system. When the martial artists of the machine armor style from the University of Technology fight, they are like three meter tall steel fortresses. They are a combination between machine masters and martial artists. If the Internet is stable, it’s very difficult to win against them.]
Meng Chao could decipher Demon Yan’s underlying meaning.
If the Internet was not stable, the machine armor style’s fighting strength was compromised, because it heavily relied on signal transmissions and electronics to fight.
[The second is Agricultural University’s Beast Soul Style. The martial artists who learn this style use secret techniques to absorb the surging vitality magnetic fields before a monster’s death and claim that monster’s soul as their own. When they fight, they do so as frenziedly as monsters.]
Demon Yan sent a laughing emoji. [If you like fighting like a wild beast, you can consider going to Agricultural University’s martial arts course.]
Meng Chao could tell that Demon Yan regarded this fighting style with scorn.
Meng Chao did not like the beast soul style as well.
A human’s greatest advantage lay in their intellect.
Absorbing a monster’s soul to fight might sound very ferocious, but sooner or later, the user would be affected by the magnetic field of the monster’s life, and it would affect their minds.
Besides, the beast soul style was just a form derived from the Overkill Style. It also had the problem of accumulating power, stiffening of muscles, and cooling down.
[The last is the Gun Fighting Style from the military school’s martial arts course.]
Demon Yan finally reached the point of the conversation. [Meng Chao, with your outstanding talent in guns, if you focus solely on cold weapons, it’ll be a pity.
[Come to the military school’s martial arts course. Fuse the advantages of both melee fighting and using guns. Walk down the path of a gunslinging martial artist and learn real gun techniques.
[This won’t be as easy as shooting a target one hundred steps away. Instead, you’ll be placing your spirit energy and will into the bullets so that your shooting trajectory can change. Your bullets will be able to do a 180-degree turn, and you’ll be able to hit a target behind an obstacle as you like. In fact, the power of the bullet will also increase to ten times its original power.
[As long as you have enough bullets, you’ll be invincible!]
Demon Yan came from the Red Dragon Army, so when he saw Meng Chao’s talent, he could not help but want to bring him to the military.
Based on his perspective, Meng Chao was talented with guns. Now, the number of main meridians he could clear was limited, so his best choice was to learn the gun fighting style.
[What if I don’t have enough bullets?] Meng Chao asked hesitantly.
Demon Yan did not lose his confidence. [That’s not a problem. I don’t mind telling you. After all, this is no longer a secret. In the past five years, the Red Dragon Army has carried out a major operation to the south of Dragon City. We’ve found three satellite cities that we’ve lost for decades, and we’ve accidentally found a mixed crystal mine with lots of crystals in it.
[Dragon City’s heavy industry machines will soon be able to begin operations, and the problem of the lack of ammunition and fuel that has been plaguing us will be solved. Before long, the soldiers and citizens will have a limitless supply of bullets.
[At that time, the gun fighting style will become the main fighting style. And you will definitely have the chance of becoming a rising star in the gun fighting style!]
