Chapter 682: Mastermind Controlling the Other World
Meng Chao knew that some of the Other World races, especially the races living underground, seemed to be afflicted with genetic immunity disorders.
The ultraviolet rays in the sun could kill the white blood cells in their blood, making it worse for their already weak immunity systems.
These pitiful races who were afraid of the sun and were used to living in the dark were generally known as the dark races in the Other World.
Sunscreen was a tactical resource that the dark races could not live without because it could largely increase their fighting strength and the areas in which they could move around.
Monster Mountain Range was a heaven for plants, and it was the most suitable for raw ingredients like Snake Vines and other such top-cla.s.s plants for sunscreen to grow.
As long as Meng Chao could seize the raw materials first and develop, as well as apply, for the sunscreen patent, he could have the initiative when negotiating with the dark races.
Since he was already venturing into the tobacco, alcohol, and even sunscreen business, it was only natural that he would also venture into the military drinks market, especially the carbonated soft drinks market.
Based on what happened on Earth, carbonated soft drinks were definitely one of the products that sold the most among humans.
The first company that created carbonated soft drinks lasted for more than one hundred years, and its business continued going strong. Its market value was much higher than most of the high-tech giants, heavy industry giants, and financial giants.
Carbonated soft drinks themselves did not contain alcohol, but they had a refres.h.i.+ng taste and an exciting kick. It could make a person addicted to them, just like spirit.
Even though there were orcs and ice giants that treated alcohol like their own lives, there were also quite a number of races that wors.h.i.+pped the deities and obeyed the vows of abstinence. They had all sorts of strange taboos, and at the very least, on the surface, they would not be tempted by alcohol.
If he went over to these races’ territories like some ignorant idiot and promoted tobacco and alcohol to them, he might be treated as the devil’s messenger and die in a ditch somewhere.
Meng Chao decided to promote a carbonated soft drink known as Dragon City c.o.ke to these ascetic races, and it would definitely produce a great effect.
Besides, these carbonated soft drinks were not just mere drinks, they were also a way for them to introduce their culture to other races.
The strongest country on Earth had its soldiers drink carbonated soft drinks while shooting at enemies. Then, they also used chilled soft drinks to tempt the ignorant people of the conquered lands so that they made themselves out to be the messengers of their civilization and even these people’s messiah.
The carbonated soft drinks in the Other World could have a lot of monster materials and etherealized plants added into them, so they were definitely one hundred times even more stimulating than Earth’s soft drinks.
Meng Chao was sure that the Other World races had never tasted such an amazing and exciting flavor before.
Regardless of the fire demons who lived in purgatory or the masters of Dragon Island, none of them could fight against soft drinks.
Perhaps, in the end, the ones to conquer the Other World would not be the steel army, but carbonated soft drinks.
Of course, soft drinks alone were not enough.
Meng Chao also prepared a huge gift for the Other World races that would make them addicted to carnal pleasures—the rich entertainment industry in the lair.
Meng Chao had once thought hard on how Earthlings were ahead of the Other World’s intelligent life forms.
Was it their technology?
On the surface, it seemed like that was the case.
The Other World races appeared to be living in a state that was like Earth’s middle ages, where the people were ignorant and lived backward lives. In fact, quite a number of the barbaric races were still living in a primitive society where they lived like savages.
Meanwhile, after Dragon City absorbed some of the advanced technology from the ancient ruins, they were already on the verge of reaching the galactic era in certain areas.
However, this was just what was presented on the surface.
The Other World races were definitely not middle age civilizations that arrived at their current stage through natural evolution.
How could a real middle age civilization have something as unscientific as magicians appear?
Those elves who lived more than one thousand years might appear to be hairless monkeys living in the forests, but their unfathomable intelligence allowed them to decode, understand, and even copy Earthlings’ advanced technology in just a few years.
No, technology alone could not allow them to conquer the Other World.
Civilization was the real tool that allowed Earth’s civilization to be ahead of the other races.
Dragon City should not just push its steel army ahead. Instead, it needed to push its civilization and Earth’s values so that it could deliver a multi-dimensional attack on the Other World races.
When it came to pus.h.i.+ng a culture forward, the worst that could happen was when the culture in question treated itself as something supreme and could not connect with the others.
Were they to talk about the superiority of Earth’s culture to the orcs who still lived in a slave society? Were they to talk to them about how all people were born equal and free the forces of production? Were they to egg on the orcs to build a harmonious, prosperous new Other World together with the Earthlings?
No one would listen to them!
They would already be considered to be showing respect to Earthlings if they did not roast them and eat them.
If they wanted to break the deadlock in the Other World and have Earth’s culture seep into them, they could only take the vulgar path and do some lowly, cra.s.s, and kitsch stuff.
Coincidentally, the gangs were best when it came to gray industries.
This was *censored*, that was *censored*, and this was *censored* and *censored*. Even someone as n.o.ble as Meng Chao found himself blus.h.i.+ng and trembling.
In any case, the oldest professions in human history became an art form in the lair.
Of course, right now, the lair was going to merge fully with Dragon City, and these gray industries were an eyesore, so they could not flaunt it around anymore.
Besides, Meng Chao himself was a person who would not allow any flaws. He had a strong sense of justice and adhered to his principles. He would not allow his own kin to jump into this dumpster fire again.
Nevertheless, his sense of justice and principles were not so strong that he would treat all the Other World intelligent races as his kin.
If he could transfer the gray industries in the lair to the Other World races, Meng Chao believed that he could definitely monopolize the entire Other World’s cultural market, or at least, the entertainment market… Fine, he should at least be able to monopolize its philistine market.
Perhaps soon into the future, the elves, dwarves, orcs, ice barbarians, priests, and even magicians would carry Earth’s semi-automatic rifles and rocket launchers, smoke Earth’s cigarettes, drink Earth’s spirit and soft drinks, smear Earth’s sunscreen and makeup products, and admire the female idol groups and boy groups that were modeled after Earth’s idol groups.
In fact, even their children would treat Captain Earth as their greatest idol.
This was what was meant by cultural invasion and export of values!
The pure export of values might not cause all the Other World races to wors.h.i.+p them and surrender, but it could absolutely reduce the hostility of the Other World races toward them, and at the very least, trick the intelligent Other World races. Then, they could create countless honorary Earthlings among the ignorant citizens who had already settled in their camps and be willing to join Dragon City’s civilization. Perhaps they would even be willing to die to get in.
If the steel army was their aggressive method, then the export of their culture was their gentle method.
Plus, no one knew just which method was more effective!
Besides, quite a number of gangs were already used to gray industries, and they were dependent on this. Some of them had even formed interest groups for it.
Meng Chao was only the master of the lair in name. How could he make them give up on it with just one word?
It would be better if he prepared it beforehand and waited for a chance so that he could transfer them out of Monster Mountain Range to find business elsewhere.
In the end, and perhaps most importantly, once they had enough skills and funds, Meng Chao wanted to get into the information industry.
His dream was to spread Dragon City’s internet throughout the entire Other World.
In the boundless but ignorant and backward Other World, having the internet all over the planet sounded like a fool’s dream.
However, through Meng Chao’s previous life, he knew that making this come to fruition was not that complicated.
Monster Mountain Range had the most complicated terrain in the Other World, and it also had the strongest interference.
To make sure that wireless internet and the tactical data link could operate smoothly despite the horrible environment, several generations of Dragon Citizens came up with quite advanced technology.
When Dragon City marched boldly forward and conquered the Other World, they set up signal towers, flew airs.h.i.+ps to transfer signals, and set up portable wireless internet points all over the place. They never ran into a lot of interference when it came to this.
Even the Other World races who hated Earthlings were addicted to their phones and could not remove themselves from it. They could not bear destroying the communication stations and information points Earthlings built.
In truth, there were examples like these even on Earth.
In the humans’ old home were plenty of tribes in that hot and savage land. Many of them had just experienced enlightenment a few decades ago, and some of them were still engaged in war.
To put it bluntly, they did not even know how to put on slippers properly.
But everyone had a phone.
In fact, they treated phones as a daily necessity, and they believed in everything mentioned on the screens.
Meng Chao hoped that all the people in the Other World could possess a phone one day so that the Other World races could enter the late information age.
Of course, this was not to increase the strength of the Other World races.
It was just so that it would be easier for them to implant Earth’s culture and values into them.
During the late information age, the people who controlled the internet, media, and ma.s.s media were the ones who controlled the people’s brains. Additionally, the person who controlled the people’s brains was the one who had the right to decide what was just, what was evil, what was advanced, what was backward, what was light, and what was dark.
Without a shadow of a doubt, Dragon City represented Earth’s civilization, the justest and advanced civilization in the universe.
Dragon Citizens were the messengers of light from Earth sent to save the Other World races.
It was only through the phones and internet that the millions of intelligent beings who lived at the bottom of society in the Other World and were enslaved as well as exploited would see and believe in this.
Meng Chao knew that there was intense structural conflict among the Other World races. In fact, such things existed even within a race itself.
The solidification of the social strata, the rift in a society, the strong being eternally strong, the victors getting everything, overpopulation in a society, conflict born by the methods of production via advanced technology and backward methods… These problems that existed in Dragon City also existed among the Other World races. In fact, it was one hundred times greater.
Otherwise, how could the apocalyptic war that swept through the Other World have started?
Plenty of races and members of a social stratum that had been enslaved for thousands of years already had the anger in their hearts coagulate into magma, and that magma was suppressed into the most violent and fierce crystal bombs.
One tiny spark was enough to make them explode.
The phones could deliver more than just one tiny spark.
The a.n.a.lysis of conflict, action plans, organization principles, methods to create weapons and explosions, ways to a.s.sa.s.sinate the enemy, and how to eradicate traitors and unstable forces within an organization… Earthlings could practically provide textbooks of all these things to the intelligent beings living at the bottom of the Other World. They could then enlighten them and tell them to take down the Other World rulers who had been oppressing them.
