Chapter 337: Anonymous Donation

“Captain Ye, is there a problem with the Broken Star Club?” Meng Chao asked while thinking, ‘If abnormal beasts infiltrated the Broken Star Club, that would be hilarious.’

But when he gave it a second thought, that should not be the case. Qin Hu’s morals were completely different from those of Lin Chuan and Gao Ye!

Just as he expected, Ye Xiaoxing smiled and shook his head. “Meng Chao, you misunderstand. Director Qin of the Broken Star Club is very capable. Over the past two months, he has made the club really lively and full of laughter!

“Speaking of which, we are quite regretful. Broken-star superhumans are part of the superhuman family, but due to the damage to their main meridians, they have to deal with people looking at them differently. When they cultivate, they also run into all sorts of problems that no one helps them solve.

“This is the responsibility of the Supernatural Tower and the Survival Committee, but due to various reasons, we have always overlooked them.

“In the end, it was Agricultural University’s martial arts course that developed the Ultimate Style and formed the Broken Star Club, which brought new hope to the large number of broken-star superhumans.

“This is a negligence of duty from the Supernatural Tower. We should apologize properly to you.”

Meng Chao did not understand what Ye Xiaoxing meant. He waved his hand and said, “Dragon City has to make choices that will determine our survival. I can understand that they have to pour most of their resources on superhumans who have potential.”

“It’s one thing that you understand, but it’s another matter that the Supernatural Tower wants to apologize. Compared to the Heaven Realm fighters and Deity Realm elites who stand high above us, the fighting power of the broken-star superhumans is naturally nothing special, but you make up the largest number of superhumans,” Ye Xiaoxing said.

“Most of the superhumans are stuck in Spirit Tattoo Realm, and among them, most are broken-star superhumans. If superhumans are to be the weapons of human civilization, then broken-star superhumans would definitely be the sturdy backs.

“The back of the weapon might not be as sharp as the blade, and people often overlook its existence. But it’s the basis of the weapon. The thicker and tougher the back of the weapon is, the more power it has when swung to cut.

“Besides, the birth of the Ultimate Style has allowed the fighting strength of broken-star superhumans to increase dramatically. As long as they go up by 70%, the fighting strength of the entire Dragon City would increase in terms of quality!”

Meng Chao nodded.

He himself was also a broken-star superhuman, so he knew the benefits of the Ultimate Style toward clearing the branch meridians and repairing the main meridians.

It was one of the reasons why he had staked everything he had to develop the Ultimate Style together with Gu Jianbo.

While speaking, Ye Xiaoxing brought out a normal-looking black card from the envelope and handed it to him with a serious expression.

Lu Siya sucked in a sharp breath.

Meng Chao quickly took the card with both hands and asked curiously, “Captain Ye, what is this?”

“There’s one million Supernatural Coins in this card. Hurry up and bind it to your bioinformatics.”

Ye Xiaoxing tapped the card lightly, and the surface of the originally black card shone with rows of profound and complicated runic symbols. They were interconnected with each other and formed the symbol of the Supernatural Tower.

“One million Supernatural Coins?!” Meng Chao was shocked.

Supernatural Coins were quasi-money that could only be used in the Supernatural Tower.

But their purchasing power was ten times greater than that of the fiat money in Dragon City.

They could be used to buy a lot of valuable treasures, secret medicine, and materials that could only be harvested from Apocalyptic Beasts and were not sold on the market.

“This is some funds for the Broken Star Club to help with the club’s development. The donor hopes that you can make Broken Star Club better and help more broken-star superhumans increase their fighting power so that they can contribute more to Dragon City!” Ye Xiaoxing said.

“Don’t be in a hurry to reject the offer. This isn’t for you. It’s for the thousands of broken-star superhumans in Dragon City. Besides, it’s not money from me or the abnormal beast research department. I was just asked to hand it to you.”

Meng Chao was surprised. “This is... Which senior did this? He’s... way too generous!”

“Well... the donor wishes to remain anonymous, so I can’t tell you the name for the time being. You just need to know that there are plenty of people watching your contributions to Dragon City. Everyone has high hopes for you as a rising star and want to help you.”

Ye Xiaoxing smiled faintly. “By the way, I heard that there are still an inadequate number of Ultimate Style cultivation cabins, right?”

“We’re already in a much better condition compared to the start of the year. At that time, the broken-star superhumans had to make an appointment a week in advance, and even then, they could only use the cultivation cabins for three hours at most!”

Meng Chao thought about it. “The problem is that it’s really troublesome to create the Ultimate Style cultivation cabins. We’re still trying to figure out a lot of the parameters for the design. Besides, the factories can only produce a limited number of them since they have to settle other deals as well. There is indeed not enough of the newest model cultivation cabins, and we can’t satisfy the needs of the broken-star superhumans and the Ultimate Style enthusiasts.”

“How about this? Send a namelist of the factories that can produce the Ultimate Style cultivation cabins to me. I’ll coordinate with them so that they will prioritize handling the Ultimate Style cultivation cabin deals,” Ye Xiaoxing said. “This donor who gave you one million Supernatural Coins also wishes to donate one hundred Ultimate Style cultivation cabins to the Broken Star Club.”

Meng Chao’s jaw fell slack. He no longer knew what he should say.

Ye Xiaoxing brought out a data storage device from the envelope.

Meng Chao took it with puzzlement.

“This anonymous donor has watched all of your fighting videos, and while the donor has heaped praises on the Ultimate Style, the donor has also discovered certain problems,” Ye Xiaoxing said. “The data in here targets the flaws and suggests ways to modify the Ultimate Style based on your fighting style. It’ll be very useful to you and the Ultimate Style. You can go back and go through this with Mr. Gu Jianbo. Once you digest it fully, you can teach it to the other broken-star superhumans.”

Meng Chao nodded with a contemplative expression.

Ye Xiaoxing stood up and gave his shoulder a hard slap. He said gravely, “Work hard, Meng Chao. Your generation will be the one protecting the future of Dragon City!”

After they left the training camp of the abnormal beast research department, Meng Chao eagerly turned on his tablet while in Lu Siya’s car and inserted the data storage device.

A flood of information appeared on the screen, and it came cascading down like a waterfall from the top of the screen.

A large number of incredibly detailed diagrams, models of spirit energy magnetic fields, and analysis of vitality magnetic fields showed up. Meng Chao could not take his eyes off of them. He broke out in cold sweat, and at the end, he could not help but exhale long and hard.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Siya sized him up in her peripheral vision.

“The value of this data... is too high!” Meng Chao gulped and mumbled, “When I helped Mr. Gu research the Ultimate Style, I thought that while it can’t possibly be perfect, it should at least not have major weaknesses. I didn’t expect that in the eyes of this senior, it’d be full of flaws anyways. There are so many places where it can be improved.

“This... This is practically a cultivation guideline customized for me. He or she gathered all the mistakes I made in my fighting videos!

“If I digested all of the data in here, my fighting strength would definitely increase by 100% and I’d even have the chance to instantly reach Spirit Gathering Realm and become a three-star superhuman, someone at the peak of Earth Realm!

“He or she actually managed to create such a cultivation guideline... Just who is this senior? Why did they do this? He or she even donated one million Supernatural Coins and one hundred cultivation cabins to us! Why?”

“It’s definitely the mastermind behind the abnormal beast research department!” Lu Siya tilted her head up and looked with smugness. She said, “Since you come from Agricultural University, you can be considered to have stepped on a ladder that will rapidly bring you up the ranks in the abnormal beast research department.

“You’re also one of the most outstanding students in the current batch of freshmen in Agricultural University. If the leaders who also come from Agricultural University don’t cultivate you, who else are they supposed to cultivate?

“I’m worse off because I come from Dragon City University. I would be able to find many university mates who have great power in the adjudicator court or other organizations and ride on their coattails, but I’m a pitiful existence in the abnormal beast research department. I have to bask in your limelight to join Group 9. Perhaps in two years’ time, things will change, and I’ll be the one riding on your coattails.”

“Big Sis Ya, don’t say that. We’ll be riding on each other’s coattails.”

Meng Chao paused for a moment and said, “Then, why didn’t you join the adjudicator court?”

“Didn’t I tell you last time? First, it’s because there are people from the Lu family in the adjudicator court, and they’re my rivals, so I don’t want to go there to suffer.” Lu Siya pursed her lips. “Second, when I saw that the development of the abnormal beast research department was going great and it looked like it was going to be a competitor for the adjudicator court, I wanted to see if I can climb up the ranks over here.

“After that, I ran into you, a future star who carries the hopes of many leaders and possesses endless potential. I’m prepared to ride on your coattails in a few years’ time, which is why I chose to stay in the abnormal beast research department!”

Meng Chao coughed dryly and changed the topic. “Just who is the leader of the abnormal beast research department? Do you know him or her?”

“Nope.” Lu Siya shook her head. “The abnormal beast research department has managed to get a few Deity Realm elites to help us, such as Captain Ye’s big brother, but he’s a pure fighting-class elite. He doesn’t seem like someone who will do something like this at such a large scale.

“You must understand. Originally, the adjudicator court was the one handling the cases related to supernatural crimes in Dragon City. It could hide its deeds from the eyes of the public and had a lot of power.

“But this year, we used the reason that abnormal beasts have infiltrated Dragon City and snatched a lot of cases from the adjudicator court. Of course, we also snatched away a lot of power from them.

“Without the peerless elites at the highest positions in Dragon City supporting us, it would have been impossible for the abnormal beast research department to gain so much power. So, just be at ease and do your job properly. As long as you perform well, you’ll definitely be able to get a lot of benefits.”

Meng Chao nodded.

Based on the memories from his previous life, the research department was one of the two powerful organizations in Dragon City and stood on equal grounds with the adjudicator court.

It was only natural then that it would have powerful elites supporting it.

If he rode on this powerful coattail, it would not be much of a problem. He would just need to work hard and climb up the ranks. Then, he could naturally change Dragon City’s future.

But... Meng Chao’s head ached.

It was as if someone had poured boiling oil on his sulci.

Through the pain, he remembered something very strange.

‘Why is it that I stopped hearing about the abnormal beast research department after the Monster War ended?

‘Is it because the research department was dissolved after the threat from the abnormal beasts was gone? Or is it because of something else?’

Lu Siya keenly noticed his troubles. She frowned a little. “Meng Chao, what’s wrong with you?”

“No. It’s nothing.” Meng Chao shook his head and temporarily flung away the puzzlement he had concerning the fog clouding his memory fragments. He switched to another topic. “By the way, do you know what Qin Hu has been doing recently?”
