Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! Chapter 1812

1812 A Quant.i.tative Change Leads to a Qualitative Change

Meng Chao was speechless.

Although Su Mulian’s words were not unreasonable, he had always felt that such a future would unknowingly slide toward a track he did not want to see and could not control.

“At first, the descendants of the n.o.ble families from the nine cultivation families had a chance to oppose the Awakening Capsules. After all, they could rise up the ranks if they followed the normal training routes. The appearance of the Awakening Capsules was not of much help to them. Instead, plenty of bizarre-looking compet.i.tors materialized around them in a few months.

Su Mulian continued. “However, the nine cultivation families at that time were affected by a series of scandals and the chaos caused by the Blood Alliance. The people were critical, wary, and even hostile toward them.

!!

“With the introduction of the Anti-Monopoly Act, the nine mega corporations were split into dozens of small and medium-sized enterprises, while the relevant departments controlled by the Azure Alliance continued to sharpen their knives and eye them covetously. They were ready to find reasons to keep dismembering the dozens of small and medium-sized enterprises.

“To avoid suspicion, many superhumans from the wealthy families who could not prove that they had nothing to do with the past scandals and the Blood Alliance resigned one after another. Hence, they were no longer engaged in business management or involved in public affairs.

“The superhumans from the wealthy families who were lucky enough not to be involved, faced the scrutiny of more than ten million citizens. They were forced to declare that they had completely renounced the ‘old-fas.h.i.+oned, trite, and unfair’ training methods and switched to supporting the Awakening Capsules that made everyone equal.

“There were even superhumans from wealthy families who took the lead in taking the Awakening Capsules, which added some animalistic characteristics to their bodies. That was how they showed their friendliness to the people. It was the only way to ‘pa.s.s.’

“So, with the consumption of the Awakening Capsules, more and more humans gained long-term or even permanent animal characteristics. The quant.i.tative change finally led to a qualitative change.

“You should know that when one out of ten people suddenly grows a furry tail, there is no doubt that the one with the tail is a monster.

“However, when nine out of ten people grow tails, the one without a tail is the monster.

“When this happens, the nine people with tails hold the right to speak about beauty. People will, under subtle influence, regard having a mighty, majestic, fluffy, and gorgeous tail as beauty.

“While Dragon City people’s people were in the process of changing from quant.i.ty to quality, a symbolic event happened. Meng Chao, you and Lu Siya held a grand wedding.”

“Huh?”

Meng Chao was fully focused, and he was worried about the country and its people.

When he heard what Su Mulian said, he was dumbfounded.

Lu Siya was slightly stunned too. She squinted, bit her lip, and hid all her thoughts.

“This isn’t strange, is it?”

“I don’t know if there was anything more between you other than fighting side by side, “Su Mulian said calmly. “But in terms of collective interests, it made sense.

“You should know that although the nine mega corporations had split up and many superhumans from the rich, as well as powerful families, had also ‘stepped aside,’ the roots of the nine great wealthy families ran deep. The superhumans from these families were still active in various battlefields in Dragon City. They played a pivotal role in the key areas that required decades of development and inheritance.

“Since you just dealt such a vicious blow to the nine great families, you obviously had to properly appease the interest groups behind them. You needed to make them believe that you would still be an indispensable and important part of Dragon City’s civilization in the long run and that you wouldn’t completely force them into a dead end.

“At the end of the day, Lu Siya’s from one of the nine super-rich families.

“What other means of comfort could be more rea.s.suring to all the rich and powerful superhumans than you, the representative of the ordinary people, marrying their representative, Lu Siya?

“Needless to say, Lu Siya’s appearance gradually became out of control because she took too many early versions of the unstable Awakening Capsules. Oftentimes, she couldn’t maintain 100% of her human form. Instead, she grew a head full of strange green hair that resembled burning flames.

“At that time, many citizens in Dragon City overdosed on the Awakening Capsules and became half-human, half-beast existences, just like Lu Siya.

“How would other people view them? How would they view themselves? Could they still integrate into normal society? Were they still normal human beings? Were they even human beings?

“These questions were like rolling dark clouds, pressing heavily on Dragon City and everyone’s hearts.

“If we didn’t give everyone a definite answer, I’m afraid that it would be very difficult for the people of Dragon City, who had changed their appearances, to work together to fight against the Holy Light faction, which occupies rich land and huge resources at the center of the Other World.

“Meng Chao, that’s the explanation for your marriage to Lu Siya.

“If you, the strongest of the new generation in Dragon City, didn’t mind Lu Siya’s appearance and even her genes, what reason did others have to discriminate against those who took the Awakening Capsule?

“This wedding was like a hammer that decided the direction of Dragon City’s development. It also laid a solid foundation for the civilization’s momentum in the early stages of the Other World War.

Meng Chao gasped and rubbed his face. He tried his best to stay calm.

“So, we won?”

He decided to ignore the details for the time being and go straight to the core. “Did we win the Other World War?”

“In the beginning, it was like this…”

Su Mulian said, “The large-scale consumption of Awakening Capsules greatly improved the average combat effectiveness of Dragon City’s people.

“They had strong and unparalleled bodies that were comparable to that of the Demonic Halberd Pigs and Armored Rhinoceroses. They could also use heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, tanks, armored vehicles, and other hot weapons. They were ultimate soldiers who had never appeared in the Other World before.

“Taking the Awakening Capsules also brought us additional benefits. Our collaboration with the Turan orcs grew closer and closer. In addition, the Turan River developed smoothly, and we didn’t encounter any resistance.

“After all, we were all becoming increasingly similar in appearance!

“Just like that, in the early stages of the war, the allied forces of Dragon City and the Turan orcs cut through everything like a hot knife through b.u.t.ter and killed their way into the fertile land that was said to be ‘forever illuminated by the Holy Light.’

“Not only did we win a series of battles, but we also occupied a lot of cities and temples namely the Impenetrable Wall, Eternal Holy Light, and Everlasting. Also, with the advanced technology of human beings, we quickly established connections with the Desert of Death, Eternal Night Abyss, the Icy Plains in the extreme north, and other regions. We formed a strategic alliance with the local races that were persecuted by the Holy Light faction and known as the Chaos faction!”
