Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! Chapter 373: All Sorts of People in the Home Party

Chapter 373: All Sorts of People in the Home Party

Most of Broken Star Club’s members were poor people who took up basic positions in companies.

Many of them had mentioned their frustrations to Meng Chao before.

They told him that right now, the good job positions in Dragon City, be it corporate positions or government positions affiliated to the Survival Committee, were all occupied by the rich people.

The good positions were all managerial in nature and looked grand on the surface, but had relatively easy jobs and could allow them to produce results easily.

The rich people were also in control of a lot of connections and resources. They just needed to complete their tasks within the set office hours every day. Then, they could use their remaining time to cultivate. Their companies or units would also provide a lot of subsidies and chances for them to cultivate.

The poor who had no power or authority could only work hard in their companies or units. Most of the jobs they could take required them to do a lot of trifling tasks, were tiring, highly repet.i.tive, and could not easily go through the process of quantization.

Normal working hours meant that they had to work from eight in the morning until eight at night. They often had to work extra, and it was normal for them to even work overnight.

The result of working too long was that they did not have any personal time to cultivate.

The path of cultivation was like rowing a boat upstream. If they did not advance, they would fall back. If they had to work overtime every day, there was no way for them to maintain their cultivation realm.

Hence, when the end of the year was around the corner, the rich people would be able to produce beautiful results and reach a brand new realm. They would show off new divine arts and killing moves, get all sorts of certs, and might even use their spare time to go to the wild to hunt monsters while protected by the powerful fighters of their families, which would earn them all sorts of medals from the Supernatural Tower.

Unlike them, the poor children had to work all year long, and on most days, they had to work overnight. Forget increasing their cultivation realm, for it was even difficult for them to maintain a normal, healthy body. And once their bodies were destroyed by the heavy workload, they would not be able to go to the wild to kill monsters.

When both were compared, wasn’t it clear just who was the real best worker of the year and who should have the chance to be promoted and earn a higher salary?

This was not a problem within a certain industry or department.

This was a problem faced by all poor people in all industries.

Their lives had indeed improved when they left the chaotic era when zombies and monsters wreaked havoc and societal order was destroyed. Now, they lived in a new era with law and order and had peaceful lives.

But the age when heroes rose to action and abject youths could seize a chance to rise to the top was also gone.

The broken-star superhumans had told Meng Chao one joke.

“Can the children of Heaven Realm fighters become Deity Realm elites?

“Of course not! Deity Realm elites have their own children too!”

The joke was indeed ridiculous, but it let Meng Chao know just what sort of mindset the poor people have.

They might not be able to change the current situation if they joined Blue Home, but at the very least, they could make jokes, support each other, and vent about the pressure they felt in life, work, and cultivation. It could make them feel better.

Aside from the middle-range and low-end superhumans who were born poor, some of the upper middle-range and high-end superhumans who had some achievements under their belts as well as some Deity Realm elites were also very interested in Blue Home.

Logically speaking, Deity Realm elites were already at the top of Dragon City. There was no need for them to mingle around with poor people.

But as their cultivation realms increased, the quality of the resources they needed every day to cultivate also increased.

Each Deity Realm elite was a black hole, and they were ma.s.sive combustion machines that needed to consume an astronomical number of resources all the time.

The Deity Realm elites themselves could not gather enough resources to maintain their cultivation realm, much less reach higher cultivation realms.

If they relied solely on themselves, they would be like the giants in the animal world. Aside from looking for food and digesting it every day, they could forget about doing anything else.

Because of that, most of them formed their own forces of power and relied on the strength of their followers to get enough resources.

But with the nine great mega corporations and cultivation families hiding their crimes, creating pressure, and monopolizing resources, it was just as hard to cultivate in Deity Realm as building a new force of power.

The nine great cultivation families often tossed out olive branches to the people who had recently risen to power. They wished to recruit them, form political marriages, or bring these new powerful people into the structure of the nine great cultivation families in any other way.

Some of the powerful people whose foundations were not strong had to submit to the nine great mega corporations to obtain the channels they used to gather, organize, and distribute resources, which could help them solve the problem of their cultivation, but it took away their independence.

That’s why a lot more powerful people chose not to submit.

Those who reached Deity Realm were all people with firm spirits, outstanding intellect, and a wild nature.

They had risked their lives to reach Deity Realm. They broke through the limits of their lives for the sake of standing above all life forms. They would not accept being manipulated by any law or force of power.

If they had to submit to the nine great cultivation families after they reached Deity Realm, that meant that their cultivation was in vain.

The peerless people who recently rose to power had a deep conflict with the previous generation of powerful people who had intimidated Dragon City before the Survival Committee was formed.

Their greatest conflict was on the question as to whether the previous generation of powerful people still needed to consume an astronomical amount of resources to maintain their superpowers when they were already badly injured and old and frail now.

The previous generation of powerful people who were in control of the nine cultivation families and Battle G.o.d Lei Zongchao were the pioneers of humanity in terms of spirit energy cultivation.

They were the first to awaken to supernatural powers.

They were also the ones who had tried all sorts of amazing techniques, divine arts, and secret techniques. They built the current cultivation system, warded off zombies, monsters, and lost people against the savage attacks at human civilization.

But the decades of them repeatedly running tests through trial and error and draining their bodies madly had damaged their bodies and souls.

The previous generation of powerful people were like incredibly complicated and sophisticated ancient machines who had overworked themselves for decades and were now badly battered by the flames of war and covered in injuries.

The maintenance cost to make sure that these ancient machines continued operating was simply insane.

However, these previous generation powerful fighters had all the money in the world.

The industries and families under them also had the ability to collect large amounts of resources to make sure that these Deity Realm elites continued living.

The new generation elites thought that this was a huge waste.

New generation elites had to stand up on the shoulders of the old generation elites to grow. They walked forward with their chests puffed out after their seniors opened the path for them. They were in control of more scientific cultivation methods, and hence, they made fewer mistakes and had to suffer less.

Compared to the badly wounded old generation elites, they were undoubtedly the ones with more potential to reach a higher realm.

“No one is denying the contributions made by those of the old generation to Dragon City, but these wounded seniors have to spend a fortune every day just to maintain their current realm. They can’t reach a higher realm, so isn’t it a waste?

“If these old seniors could offer up the resources they’re wasting away to the new generation elites, perhaps Dragon City would have already produced a lot more Heaven Realm and Deity Realm superhumans.

“The seniors have worked hard and gained a lot of achievements. It’s about time for them to step down and enjoy their lives. They would not be going overboard with whatever glory or treatment they choose to have, but crystals, superbeast flesh, and all the other valuable resources are tactical resources that belong to all humans. Don’t you think that they should be distributed and used more carefully?

“Many of the previous generation elites are almost one hundred years old. They have to take in an astronomical amount of resources every day, but they aren’t showing any signs of moving past Deity Realm. You seldom see them fighting monsters too. Is there any meaning behind them using up so much resources, then?

“If they hand over these resources to the youngsters who are at the prime of their lives or the superhumans who are already at the peak of Earth Realm or Heaven Realm and are just a step away from reaching a breakthrough, wouldn’t that be better for Dragon City and all of human civilization?

“In the current Dragon City, wasting resources is a crime!”

This sort of view made the new Deity Realm elites sound like ungrateful b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, but they were voicing the brutal truth.

Aside from the new generation elites who did not belong to the nine cultivation families, there were also a lot of scholars and researchers who joined Blue Home.

The brutal war over the last fifty years had forced all of Dragon City to practice martial arts. They became a ruthless society where the strong ruled.

Even the superhumans regarded the four main fighting occupations—martial artists, heroic spirit users, machine masters, and beast controllers—as the superior occupations.

But modern civilization was not one where decisions were made by brute force. If they wanted to completely conquer the Other World, they could not just rely on their fists, cold weapons, guns, and army.

They had to conduct research and develop all sorts of fundamental sciences and maintain the bureaucracy that retained the high-efficiency operations in the city. Many of the superhumans did not have limbs that were well developed and could not kill monsters that were stronger than Nightmarish Beasts, but their powerful skills of deduction, calculations, management, and research kept the flames of civilization burning. In fact, they contributed even more to the fact that their civilization was still alive.

Unfortunately, with the current system, their contributions were easily underestimated and overlooked. Their status was also not as high as that of the ruthless fighters who killed peerless monsters in the wild.

If they did not reform the current system and rashly launched the Colonization War, they could see a future where the brash warriors would have a higher status while the scholars and researchers’ statuses and strength would plummet even more.

“We don’t care about our own statuses and treatment, but if human civilization turns into a savage civilization that only knows how to swing their fists to solve problems, it would undoubtedly be a very sad matter.”

Believing firmly in this, many scholars and researchers joined Blue Home.

The two politicians Meng Chao got to know also chose to support Blue Home because of the current situation in Dragon City.

Aside from the four groups of people mentioned, there was another group of members in Blue Home that Meng Chao did not expect to see.

They were people from the nine great cultivation families.

On the surface, they had all the advantages due to the current system in Dragon City, but they had their frustrations as well.

That frustration appeared to be that... they had too many siblings.

This was a problem created by the lawless, dark era.

If time was reversed by thirty to forty years and they looked back at the age when Dragon City was attacked by viruses, zombies, and monsters, the city had been shattered then, and the flames of human civilization were on the verge of being extinguished. They were definitely living in the apocalypse at that time.

The matchless fighters who awakened to superpowers gained most of the resources at that time, along with the chance to reproduce. This was something natural.

And since humans had only just come in touch with spirit energy at that time, they did not know how to use meditation, sitting stances, and all sorts of cultivation methods to limit the influence of spirit energy on their souls, hormones, and organs.

Due to the influence by spirit energy, the emotions and desires of the powerful were magnified endlessly. They longed to pa.s.s down their genes and for their children to spread all over the city.
