Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! Chapter 1506

Chapter 1506 Warriors with Flaws

“What about these guys?”

Meng Chao heard a few famous names from Gao Chuang’s mouth. They were all important figures of the nine mega corporations.

Meng Chao had also dealt with them before. He did not think that they were shortsighted and greedy.

He truly did not understand. “Don’t they realize that their actions have crossed the line?

“Once these scandals are exposed, won’t they fall into the public’s eyes and be discredited?

“They’ve already stood at the top of Dragon City. Why don’t they know when to stop?”

“People who are drowning have no choice. Do you think that these big shots who are capable to summon the wind and rain have a choice?”

Gao Chuang said, “In Dragon City, only warriors with outstanding combat strength can occupy important positions in all walks of life.”

“The problem is that there’s an irreconcilable contradiction between combat ability and important posts.

“The stronger a person’s combat ability is, the more time he needs to spend on training and actual combat.

“Even a first-rate warrior, who has been through hundreds of battles, will lose his sense of smell and reflex speed greatly after living in luxury for ten days to half a month. It’s very normal for his combat ability to drop by twenty to thirty percent.

“Managing the nine mega corporation also requires a lot of time and energy.

“Even a talented martial arts genius would find it difficult to reach the peak of excellence in the two conflicting fields of business management and martial arts cultivation.

“However, the internal compet.i.tion between the nine great cultivation families is incredibly fierce.

“So many illegitimate and adopted children, as well as their children, have a family compet.i.tion every year. Each quarter, there will be a small compet.i.tion between each branch, while every month, there will be a monthly a.s.sessment of their cultivation progress. According to the results of the a.s.sessment, the allocation of cultivation resources for the next quarter will be decided.

“While the senior managers of the nine great mega corporations will certainly have all kinds of privileges and exemptions for their family…

“As directors, general managers, and even the chief executive officer, they are considered to be high-ranking n.o.bles in the outside world. If they lose to a junior who has just come out of the blue in a compet.i.tion within the family, they’ll lose all their prestige and be ashamed of themselves.

“Not to mention, the business rivalry among the nine mega corporations often depends on the directors, general managers, and even the chief executive officer to make the final decision with absolute force.

“Only low-level businesses in fairy tales play childish tricks such as hacking, equity lawsuits, and sending spies to each other.

“High-end business wars in reality have always been a one-time deal in the literal sense. The business belongs to whoever has the bigger fist.

“Under such circ.u.mstances, the top management of the nine mega corporations must do everything they can to improve their combat ability. At the very least, they have to maintain their current level. There can’t be an issue of their combat ability declining.

“They don’t have the time to cultivate or the opportunity to go deep into the wilderness to fight with the ferocious monsters. They have to use the Asura h.e.l.l as their arena to engage in a soul-stirring battle. If these influential figures in the business world want to maintain or even increase their combat power, they have to pour ten or even a hundred times more cultivation resources into their bodies. What other choice do they have?

“Oh right, I haven’t mentioned the issue of filial piety to the old patriarch.

“As the head of the nine great cultivation families, Deity Realm warriors naturally need ten or even a hundred times more resources than their adopted sons in order to maintain their invincible combat strength.

“The problem is that the ident.i.ty of the head makes it impossible for these ‘old patriarchs’ to personally hunt monsters in the depths of the wilderness.

“Besides, with their astonishing appet.i.tes, it’s very difficult for them to satisfy their daily cultivation needs by hunting monsters themselves.

“Convert the profits of the nine mega corporations into their own cultivation resources?

“Such a method of not separating public and private affairs would make it impossible for them to pa.s.s the financial audit, let alone obtain permission from the small and medium shareholders. It will even cause a storm in the financial market and an avalanche in the mega corporations.

“Therefore, as the heads of the families, the Deity Realm powerhouses rely on their children’s filial piety for their daily cultivation.

“In the past year and a half, especially, because most of the Deity Realm powerhouses were seriously injured in the battle against the monster mastermind, they’ve urgently needed ten times more resources than usual to have a chance to recover. Therefore, they look forward to their children’s filial piety even more.

“The amount of filial piety depends on one’s own thoughts and means. Everybody shows off their skills and expertise to achieve a common goal.

“If a child’s filial piety is too little, his old man may not be angry. At most, he’ll feel that the child’s apt.i.tude is mediocre and that it’s difficult for him to take on a big responsibility.

“What if you use overwhelming means to show filial piety to your old man? If he knows that your cultivation resources are of unknown origin but he doesn’t hit your smiling face, does your old man have the nerve to punish your filial piety then?

“Under such circ.u.mstances, everybody has no other choice.

“How could those blockheads who insist on their principles occupy the important posts in the nine mega corporations and the nine n.o.ble families of cultivation, as well as become high and mighty figures who could summon the wind and rain?

“As for ‘public criticism and ruined reputation’?

“Hehe. Right now, the monster civilization has collapsed. On Monster Mountain Range, the big shots had the strongest combat ability.

“When three to five big shots join hands, they can unleash the power of a rapid reaction force. They also have the agility and stealth that the rapid reaction force absolutely does not have.

“What if so-called ‘thousand accusing fingers’ can’t turn a main battle tank equipped with reaction armor into a pile of sc.r.a.p metal automatically?

“How can such ‘thousand accusing fingers’ make the big shots, whose combat ability is far stronger than the main battle tanks, lose their reputation?”

Gao Chuang’s words made Meng Chao fall into silence for a long time before he mumbled, “I understand now. These people thought that after the monster civilization’s collapse, the Dragon City civilization would be safe and secure, and they would never meet an opponent as big as or even stronger than us again.

“That’s why they can do whatever they want without any scruples.

“Haven’t these guys ever thought that there has to be a reason why so many h.e.l.l Beasts and Apocalyptic Beasts are curled up in this small basin when the Other World is so big and the land area is not much smaller than that of Earth?

“Didn’t they think that, perhaps, before long, an enemy more powerful and terrifying than the monster civilization would appear before us? At that time, it won’t matter whether the Dragon City people are ordinary or superhuman, whether they are from humble families or wealthy families, whether they are the eldest son of the oldest family or illegitimate sons, or adopted sons. Like in the past half-century, we have to work together and fight side by side. Only then will the fire of civilization continue to burn brightly to the next millennium or even ten thousand years.”

“Those who have the ability to climb to the top management positions in the nine mega corporations are all the best of the best. Of course, they’ve thought about the possible problems that could happen to new enemies.”

A partial smile appeared on Gao Chuang’s face. “It’s exactly because they thought about it carefully that these big shots acted so impatiently and plundered resources crazily without caring about the consequences.

“They would plunder resources by any means necessary to improve their combat ability before a new war breaks out.

“When a new war breaks out and an even scarier enemy appears before all the citizens of Dragon City, they’ll be able to step forward and become guardian G.o.ds who are respected and cheered by thousands of people. They’ll save Dragon City when it faces a moment of life and death!

“The victors will not be judged and punished. One day, in a brand-new war that is a hundred times more grand and tragic than the Monster War, the big shots will be riding on the wind and holding lightning bolts in their hands. When they kill an enemy that is a hundred times scarier than the Apocalyptic Beasts in the public’s eyes, who will remember that they once embezzled, monopolized, stole, and robbed some cultivation resources today?

“Even if someone remembers it, what’s the saying? ‘A warrior with flaws is still a warrior!”

Meng Chao had nothing to say.

Gao Chuang’s sarcastic and eccentric remarks perfectly matched the scenes that he had seen in his apocalyptic nightmare.

In his apocalyptic nightmare, Dragon City was firmly under the control of the nine mega corporations. There were no new forces such as Battle G.o.d Palace, Broken Star Club, the Red Dragon Army, Blue Home, and the Superstar Resource Recovery Company on the other side of the scale, trying to balance the former.

It was not that knowledgeable people did not think about whether the mega corporations were more beneficial or harmful to the development and survival of Dragon City’s civilization.

However, all the experts and scholars who thought that they would be “more harmful than beneficial” could not answer one question.

“Besides the nine mega corporations, who else is qualified and powerful enough to protect Dragon City?” Thus, Dragon City had been under the protection of the mega corporations and peerless experts.

Even so, the end was near.
