Chapter 336: Broken Star Club
ng Chao and Lu Siya turned around and saw Ye Xiaoxing searching through his drawer. It took him a while to fish out a rumpled envelope, which contained a stack of docunts. He took a few glances at it before he said, “I heard that you and your friends ford a club called Broken Star Club. Is that true?”
ng Chao was a little surprised.
They had ford the Broken Star Club at the start of the year.
When the Ultimate Style was just born, the main volunteers of the experint were ng Chao and the students working in society from the refresher course of Agricultural University. Ma Hong, the scout from the Red Dragon Army, was the one who led the team.
Most of the people in the refresher course were broken-star superhumans.
This ant that when they awakened to their superpowers, they used too much strength and their spirit energy went out of control. Most of their main ridians were burnt, and they were pseudo-superhumans.
Their cultivation speed was slow and they did not have a high upper limit. It was difficult for them to go past being one-star superhumans, and they were often considered to be at the bottom of the superhuman circle.
The birth of the Ultimate Style coincidentally solved this pressing matter for them.
They could rapidly increase their fighting strength through cultivating the branch ridians and nourish their main ridians by repeatedly stimulating and expanding their branch ridians. This gave life to their shrivelled up main ridian.
Hence, Ma Hong and the other broken-star superhumans joined the Ultimate Style experint with 120% gusto. They obtained different levels of improvent from it.
Later, the northern offense began, so Ma Hong and the other soldiers had to return to the Red Dragon Army and go to the northern frontlines.
The powerful fighters working under various mining companies, resource companies, and construction companies also had to return to their companies and beco active at Shattered Starlake in their various occupations.
Their comrades and colleagues knew well just how strong they were.
When they saw how their strength had grown by leaps and bounds after a few months at the university’s refresher course and how they seed to be completely different people, many of the broken-star superhumans who were in the sa situation as them and sympathized with them were surprised.
Most of the refresher courses were just places for people to get a cert without doing anything. They could not help broken-star superhumans change their fighting power in essence.
No one had expected that Agricultural University’s martial arts refresher course would be the real deal, so they were envious as well as tempted into joining it.
Ma Hong and the rest told them the truth and said that it was all thanks to the Ultimate Style.
Around the sa ti, ng Chao also revealed his brilliance at Shattered Starlake by organizing the Ultimate Style Exchange every night and leading the alliance of the five universities to victory against Dragon City University during the inter-university tournant. It imprinted the na of ng Chao and the Ultimate Style in countless broken-star superhumans’ minds.
In the end, before the northern offense even ended, the door to the Agricultural University’s martial arts refresher course was almost destroyed by broken-star superhumans because of how often they visited the place.
The power of an example was indescribable. After being spurred on by Ma Hong and the rest, many of the broken-star superhumans wanted to learn from Gu Jianbo and ng Chao.
Originally, the refresher course did not have any requirents for results for enrollnt. As long as the student could fork out money, they would be taught indiscriminately. No student was ever rejected.
A problem with this popped up when countless broken-star superhumans applied for the course. There was a limit to the number of Ultimate Style’s cultivation cabins in the lab of Project 1024. Even if they were used twenty-four hours a day, they could not support the simultaneous cultivation of more than one hundred broken-star superhumans.
Hence, Gu Jianbo, the lecturer of the refresher course; Ma Hong, the course rep of the refresher course; and ng Chao, who was not part of the refresher course but was Gu Jianbo’s one-and-only true disciple and was also the one who pushed the Ultimate Style forward, ultimately allowing it to be born, discussed with each other for a long ti before they ca to a conclusion. They asked the university to expand the scale of the refresher course while they ford the Broken Star Club to help with the imdiate situation.
Just as the na implied, it was an organization for broken-star superhumans to exchange experience and beco friends with each other.
The main reason behind it was for them to tell each other of their experiences practicing the Ultimate Style and healing the shrivelled main ridians. It could also help them coordinate the ti they spent in the cultivation cabins to practice the Ultimate Style.
Of course, through the Broken Star Club, they could also gather more experint data, so the Ultimate Style could evolve continuously and beco the strongest cultivation and fighting model.
There were not many requirents to join the Broken Star Club. As long as a person was a broken-star superhuman and was willing to share his or her experience in cultivation, they were welco to join.
Since Gu Jianbo was not a broken-star superhuman, he was not in the club. He was just a supervisor in na.
Ma Hong was the course rep of the refresher course, and he also had a lot of connections in the Red Dragon Army and society. Many of the broken-star superhumans joined because of his recomndation, so he naturally beca the club leader.
As for ng Chao, everyone strongly suggested that he should be the vice-leader. He was Gu Jianbo’s true disciple and the person who brought forward the birth of the Ultimate Style. He was also doing everything he could to spread the Ultimate Style in the northern battlefield. It was sothing hard to do and a great contribution to the Ultimate Style.
Besides, he beca a broken-star superhuman when he killed a Bloody Moon Wolf King during his national college examination. This was a hair-rising feat, but also very touching.
There were few broken-star superhumans in the city who did not know ng Chao’s na.
ng Chao originally wanted to reject it. After all, he was just a freshman, and aside from cultivating, he also had to harvest monsters. After lectures, he spent most of his ti looking for and riding the coattails of various powerful people to solve the Mystery of the Supernatural Entities. He simply had no ti to beco a vice-leader, and he had no experience in this field either.
But Ma Hong told him that the Broken Star Club was built for the sake of everyone learning the Ultimate Style. Mr. Gu Jianbo could not join because of his identity and could only be a supervisor in na. But as the one disciple who would inherit Big Brother Bo’s legacy, if ng Chao did not take up the position, it would not make sense.
Besides, there were only hundreds of people in the Broken Star Club, and the main purpose for it was to help everyone book the ti to use the Ultimate Style cultivation cabins. This was basically the sa as online queuing and appointnt systems. Regardless of whether soone was the club leader or the vice-leader, their positions did not an much. They did not need any experience to take them up.
ng Chao thought about it and found it true, so he agreed to it.
Since then, the Broken Star Club had not done anything major. It hired a person to design a website and set up an appointnt system for the cultivation cabins, which solved basically all problems.
They had a few groups on the club website. They had thousands of people and were almost full.
The admin was very responsible, so the broken-star superhumans in the groups just cracked jokes all the ti, boasted, sent emojis, or captioned gifs. ng Chao ignored them most of the ti.
Ma Hong had a lot of work in the Red Dragon Army, so he seldom had ti to co to the refresher course. He did not pay a lot of attention to the Broken Star Club either.
Besides, investnts had been piling up for the creation of new Ultimate Style cultivation cabins, which solved the problem of broken-star superhumans lacking resources to cultivate, and hence, the Broken Star Club lost its main purpose for existence.
Then, one day after Superstar Resource Recovery Company rged with Prosperous Resource Recovery Company, Qin Hu had suddenly run over to tell ng Chao that he wanted to beco the director of the Broken Star Club.
Ever since he received the dual attack from the Red Radiance Jades and Blue Origin Crystals, Qin Hu’s problem of his spirit energy going stagnant did not go away. His strength had plumted, and he was in an even worse state than broken-star superhumans.
Due to him contributing to stopping the White Spirit and indirectly saving ng Chao by discovering the Blue Origin Crystal cave in his previous life, ng Chao introduced Qin Hu to Gu Jianbo in hopes that the Ultimate Style could solve his problem.
Qin Hu cooperated well. He gritted his teeth and endured a lot of incredibly painful experints.
Gu Jianbo wanted to use the Ultimate Style to help a veteran fighter who lost his strength reach Heaven Realm and gain more valuable experint data.
He tried his best to treat Qin Hu and used every trick up his sleeve.
Unfortunately, he did not manage to achieve what he intended. After hundreds of attempts, Qin Hu’s spirit energy did not recover in the slightest.
With Qin Hu’s state, he could not even be considered a broken-star superhuman.
But the Broken Star Club was not so high-end, grand, and high-class organization. If he wanted to join out of respect for ng Chao, then ng Chao let him join. It was good for him to get rid of his gloomy feelings by chatting with the nurous broken-star superhumans.
And sohow, he seed to have discovered so sort of treasure in the Broken Star Club. He was constantly chatting up a storm with the broken-star superhumans. He often even went out and treated those broken-star superhumans to als.
Qin Hu had been quite famous in society before this. He was the vice-captain of Frenzied Saber, after all.
In the eyes of Heaven Realm elites who were born in powerful families like Lu Siya, he was nothing, but most of the broken-star superhumans ca from poor families. They didn’t have much of a background and not a lot of resources. Otherwise, they would not have gone out of control when they awakened and gotten injured.
Qin Hu, however, had been at the peak of Earth Realm and could sympathize with them. He also ca from a poor family, but had gotten quite a lot of it from the expedition under Raging Waves. He was now quite rich and when he gathered together with the broken-star superhumans, he treated money as if it was nothing, so almost in no ti, the broken-star superhumans had a great impression of him.
Hence, when he told ng Chao that he had gained the support of many broken-star superhumans, including Ma Hong, ng Chao did not suspect his words.
However, ng Chao could not understand it. The Broken Star Club was not so ga corporation that could earn a bucket of gold every day. It was not a powerful organization that could do whatever it wanted either. It was just a loosely organized social welfare organization.
There was not even the position of a director. Why was then Qin Hu being so passionate about getting involved in the club? Was he really just contributing to the large number of broken-star superhumans?
“Look at you. Are you the only one allowed to contribute? Am I not allowed to contribute to the public for once?” Qin Hu said sadly, as if he had been wronged. “Right now, I lost all my power, and I’m basically useless. I no longer have any hope of becoming a hunter, and no superhuman squad will take in. After you took my company, I don’t have any interest in fighting for control with your father, either. You have to let look for entertainnt and how to spend my ti, okay?
“I know that I have money, but my wife keeps a tight leash over it, so even if I’m rich, I can’t spend any of it. Mr. Gu tried treating hundreds of tis from top to bottom with thods that are basically torture, but there’s no signs of recovering my strength. What if I’m going to stay like this for the rest of my life? It’s depressing, man!
“The Broken Star Club itself isn’t much, but those broken-star superhumans? Heh, they’re from everywhere and are part of all sorts of industries. They tell insider information from all sorts of industries, including a lot of secrets from the streets of Dragon City.
“They even tell amazing stories from decades ago, which are really interesting and addictive. If I were the director and managed the club, we could often gather together and eat as well as boast about our achievents. There’s nothing wrong with that, right?”
ng Chao rembered himself saying this at that ti. “It’s precisely because there’s no problem that there’s a problem.
“Mr. Hu, you’re the type of person who won’t wake up early unless it benefits you. It’s not as simple as eating together and boasting about each other’s achievents, right? How much money would you have to spend to manage the club?”
“What the heck? Are you suspecting that I want to get money from this? I already got money for the mining rights of the Red Radiance Jade mine from Lu Siya. Why would I want that bit of money from the club?”
Qin Hu found himself not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “Besides, the Broken Star Club isn’t a company or an organization. It doesn’t have a single cent in its account. Where am I supposed to get money even if I want it?
“I’ll tell you the truth. I don’t want a single cent from this. I’ll be using my own money to manage the club and contributing to the large number of broken-star superhumans. Is that good enough for you?”
ng Chao had been really puzzled at that ti.
Even though he felt that Qin Hu was definitely aiming for sothing because there was no way he would be so passionate about it if there was nothing for him to gain, half of Qin Hu’s wealth ca from the forr Prosperous that had rged with Superstar. ng Chao had a tight control over the money Qin Hu could get.
The other half of his wealth ca from Lu Siya’s Red Radiance Jade Mine mining rights. That money was not sothing he could take just because he wanted to.
Even if Qin Hu did sothing wrong, no matter where he ran, he could not escape. If he really had so sort of ulterior motive, ng Chao would have ways of dealing with him.
If he wanted to beco the director of the Broken Star Club, then so be it. ng Chao was okay with it as long as he did not use the na of the Broken Star Club to go out and deceive people. But even if he did, it was fine, Qin Hu was definitely rich enough to pay the people he deceived. Besides, ng Chao believed that Qin Hu would not be that stupid, especially after he lost his strength.
In ng Chao’s eyes, the director of the Broken Star Club could not even be considered a proper position that held any significant aning in society.
But Qin Hu was really gungho about it. He went everywhere all the ti without telling anyone what exactly he was doing.
By the looks of it, he could not get used to life of a normal human and was doing sothing completely unnecessary.
There were a few tis when he even seriously ca to ng Chao to report his work, because ng Chao was the vice-leader.
But it was during the case of the murderous pets in Blessed Paradise, so ng Chao was occupied with the thoughts of the Mystery of the Supernatural Entities and did not have the ti nor energy for talking nonsense.
That is why he did not expect that he would hear the Broken Star Club’s na from Ye Xiaoxing, and his heart clenched.
