Disaster is Imminent

More than a dozen unidentified materials were appraised, and senior figures in the industry were still discussing them.

Meng Chao was very low-key—being able to encounter the "Demon Dragon Eye" was also considered blind luck. Thinking about how his memory fragments were sometimes effective and sometimes not, he decided not to go on stage and embarrass himself.

The Zhao Surname Strongman from the Blood Wolf Squad was particularly enthusiastic towards him. In addition to thanking him, he also asked if he was interested in joining the Blood Wolf Squad.

Meng Chao said that he was not yet a Superhuman and was probably not suitable to follow a Superhuman squad to fight in the depths of the mist.

The Zhao Surname Strongman said that with his strength, getting into a famous university was a sure thing, and everyone would definitely have the opportunity to cooperate. The two exchanged some commercial flattery and left contact information, so this connection was established.

After that, the "Young Master Nie" who was almost scammed by Liao Feijun also came over and offered to transfer 300,000 to him in a very domineering manner.

"According to industry rules, the appraisal fee for unknown materials is 3% to 5% of the material's transaction price. It's not easy for you to recognize the Demon Dragon Eye. I'll give you the maximum, 5% of 6 million, which is 300,000."

Young Master Nie took out a golden card, "Also, this is my business card. You saved me once today. I, Nie Weihao, hate owing people anything, so you must keep it safe. If you have any trouble, look for me."

After he left, Ning Shewo stepped forward and whispered, "Put the card away. Unless it's absolutely necessary, it's better not to provoke this 'Young Master Nie'."

Meng Chao thought for a moment, "Is he very bad?"

"Not really. In their circle, Nie Weihao is considered to have relatively good character, at least much better than Liao Feijun. But he's still a playboy, living a luxurious and unrestrained life, thinking that Dragon City is protected by their fathers and that they will conquer the Other World. There's nothing and no one they wouldn't dare to provoke."

Ning Shewo explained, "Today, Nie Weihao owes you one. Tomorrow, if you have something, he will definitely come to help without saying a word. But the way these playboys help and the consequences may not be something you can accept."

Meng Chao understood roughly.

He changed the subject, "Old Ning, what if those two medicines don't work? I heard that Liao Feijun's grandfather is your junior brother. Isn't he difficult to deal with?"

"Just from the innovation of the Reverse Lock Seven Solutions, you can see the extraordinary nature of the Fire-Passing Old Man, not to mention that his knowledge is extremely broad. If he just gives you a few pointers, you can even identify the 'Demon Dragon Eye'. What else can't I believe?"

Ning Shewo smiled, "Today, the conflict between you and Liao Feijun was originally caused by Liao Santong and me. If you didn't have such a profound inheritance, you would have been humiliated in public. If I didn't stand up for you, what qualifications would I have to see the Fire-Passing Old Man in the future?

"Enough said, I'll take you to meet some friends in the circle. Everyone is very interested in you, this rising star, hahaha!"

Ning Shewo was in a great mood and let Meng Chao and his granddaughter appear together.

While they were talking and laughing, Liao Feijun's side was filled with gloom.

Jun Shao's face was frighteningly gloomy, and his cronies didn't dare to approach.

Nie Weihao said coldly, "Jun Shao, you want to touch this kid? Then you better wait a few days, until I pay him back what I owe him. Otherwise, what I owe him can only be paid to you!"

Liao Feijun was furious, but he didn't dare to provoke Nie Weihao, who had an even deeper background than him. He could only cast his hateful gaze on Jiu Xin Technical Director Gu Ming.

Damn it, it's all because of this bastard, who said that Meng Chao was just a poor kid living in public housing, causing him to capsize in the gutter!

Feeling Liao Feijun's murderous gaze, Gu Ming trembled, almost pissing his pants in public.

Damn it, what kind of demon is this Meng Chao? Why is everyone who provokes him ending up so miserable?

A few days ago, Shen Rongfa provoked him and was beaten into the hospital by Tiger Lord on the spot.

Today, he just said a few words and caused his teacher's favorite grandson to suffer a big loss.

Gu Ming wanted to cry but had no tears, filled with regret.

After the trade fair, Meng Chao took a few days off.

Although the growth of Contribution Points was still like an old man of seventy urinating, dripping and dribbling, not at all satisfying, only thirty to fifty points a day, at most seventy to eighty.

Fortunately, his pockets were full of real money, and he also obtained a large amount of cultivation resources from his classmates. He also bought many secret medicines not available on the market through Ning Shewo.

Now, he could be said to have traded his shotgun for a cannon. He used monster beast blood to bathe twice a day, morning and night. Before going to bed, he also applied secret ointments to the palms of his hands, the soles of his feet, and the Yuzhen Acupoint at the back of his head. As for Muscle Growth Factor, Bone Cell Growth Factor, Energy Potions, Ultra-High Concentration Protein Powder... all kinds of cultivation resources, he ate them like meals. His conditions were better than many rich second generations.

He was already a cultivation maniac, and it was only due to insufficient resources that he over-drafted himself.

Now that his back was strong, all his potential exploded. In just a few days, he cultivated like crazy, integrated the entire high school knowledge system, and raised his strength to a new level.

These days, he had been holding back from using Contribution Points. As a result, the proficiency of the Wild Bull Technique and Ripple Force increased by 1% and 1.5% respectively, and even the treatment progress increased by 2%.

Meng Chao's mood was soaring.

However, this afternoon, a very strange message popped up in the upper right corner of his vision:

[You have saved the life of Elite Citizen Yan Zhennan, Contribution Points +333]

"This is—"

Meng Chao was stunned, "Haven't had a deal in days, and when it comes, it's more than three hundred Contribution Points. This wave is a big win, but who is Yan Zhennan? Oh, I remember, isn't he the Ripple Princess's father? I'm clearly sitting in the classroom, how did I save his life for no reason?"

At the same time, in the outskirts of Dragon City, deep in the mist.

"Huff, huff, huff."

Three monster hunters, covered in wounds, collapsed on the ground like three lumps of rotten meat.

In front of them, there was an even bigger lump of rotten meat, three to five times larger, like a hybrid of giant insects, large feline monsters, and carnivorous plants, dead beyond dead, with a pool of stinky juice on the ground.

"Brother Zhennan, you..."

The bald strongman and the scarred woman among the three exchanged glances, deeply shocked by the scene just moments before.

Originally, this was just a routine hunt.

Although the prey was the Level 5 Super Beast "Tiger-Striped Giant Mantis," a terrifying existence capable of wiping out a military squad.

But all three of them possessed the powerful strength of Five-Star Extraordinary.

Both Superhumans and Super Beasts are divided into nine levels, but humans have intelligence and know how to use various equipment. Generally speaking, they are enough to defeat Super Beasts one level higher than themselves.

The three hunters were old friends of more than ten years, with tacit cooperation and skilled tactics. With three against one, they didn't think the Level 5 Super Beast was any difficulty.

Unexpectedly, after the Tiger-Striped Giant Mantis was seriously injured, it suddenly underwent an unknown mutation. Its head exploded in all directions, and a large number of sticky serrations and tentacles spewed out from its body cavity, as if a huge man-eating flower exploded from within.

The mutated Tiger-Striped Giant Mantis not only increased its speed and strength several times, but also added dangerous characteristics such as toxicity, corrosiveness, and even mental interference, instantly reversing the roles of "prey" and "hunter."

"Unknown mutation, low-health evolution!"

The three monster hunters fell into despair.

Just as the bald man and the scarred woman were unable to fight and collapsed to the ground twitching, Yan Zhennan, in desperation, changed his fighting style.

He actually comprehended a brand new martial arts principle under the threat of death. His breathing and force exertion system completely changed, and he unleashed a series of flowing and gorgeous killing moves, miraculously reversing the situation!

Having survived the disaster, the bald man and the scarred woman were naturally overjoyed. What puzzled them was how Yan Zhennan's fighting style seemed to have suddenly upgraded, with his combat effectiveness increasing by at least 10%.

If he had such a powerful martial art, why didn't he use it from the beginning?

It took Yan Zhennan three minutes to catch his breath before he could slowly sit up.

Looking at the mangled remains of the Super Beast mutant, the confusion and bewilderment on his face were even more intense than those of the bald man and the scarred woman.

After pondering for a moment, his pupils suddenly contracted to the extreme, and he began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Brother Zhennan, what's wrong? This Super Beast mutant has already been killed by you!" The two hunters hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

They felt that Yan Zhennan's goosebumps were standing on end.

No matter how ferocious the Super Beasts they encountered, or even in the moment of near-death just now, they had never seen such intense and undisguised fear on Yan Zhennan's face.

"I, I seem to have offended someone."

Yan Zhennan was as helpless as a child, and his originally deep voice even trailed off into a trembling tone.

The bald man and the scarred woman exchanged glances, both puzzled. "Who did you offend? Could it be someone more terrifying than this mutant Super Beast, someone even the Yan Family can't withstand?"

"That's right, ten times more terrifying than this mutant Super Beast."

Yan Zhennan said absentmindedly, "I have offended an unfathomable old monster. This time, the Yan Family is in big trouble!"

Yan Feirou opened the secret room door on the top floor of the Flying Swallow Building and heard the sound of "slap slap slap slap" like bamboo shoots stir-fried with meat coming from inside.

Walking in, she saw a scene she would never forget in her life.

Her own father, that burly man as majestic as a mountain, with a powerful aura like a tidal wave, a strongman who had hunted countless fierce beasts in the mist, was kneeling on the ground like a child who had made a mistake.

And her grandfather, the head of the Yan Family, the martial arts grandmaster Yan Hengbo who developed the Ripple Force, was jumping around like an old monkey, enraged.

Her grandfather, dragging his two mechanical legs, kicked her father like a ball, and also swung a rattan, mercilessly whipping him.

While whipping, he cursed, "You don't stir up trouble on the ground, but you have to stir up trouble in the heavens. Is this 'Fire-Passing Old Man' someone you can afford to offend?"

Yan Feirou felt that her worldview had collapsed in an instant, shattered into pieces.

She even wondered if it was an illusion, if she was dreaming?

She gently pinched the palm of her hand with her fingernails. It wasn't an illusion, nor was it a dream. Her grandfather was still whipping and cursing:

"People saw that your daughter has some potential, and kindly sent a set of cultivation methods for her to study, saying that they don't seek fame or fortune, just want to make a contribution. What about you? You use the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman, and dare to suspect that they have ulterior motives, that this set of Modified Ripple Force is fake? If this is fake, what is our Ripple Force 2.0? Trash! In front of this set of Modified Ripple Force, Ripple Force 2.0 is trash! Trash!"

Yan Feirou was dumbfounded.
