Chapter 785: Turns Out I'm a Universal-Rich Second Generation
"Menglong, what do you mean by that?" All eyes once again converged on Zhang Menglong.
"What else could I mean, just spouting some mysteries!" said someone from the Americas in a strange tone. After all, Zhang Menglong had severely mocked them for being weak and playful during the interview; it was odd they would show him any courtesy.
"Exactly, the current situation has clearly exceeded our capacity to solve. Even if our technology were to advance rapidly over a few years, it could still not compare to a Level Three civilization's fleet!"
Although they didn't know just how powerful a Level Three civilization could be, a spaceship from a Level Two civilization could easily rout the Earth's military forces; a Level Three civilization would only be even more terrifying.
"You think too small," Zhang Menglong glanced at the group of despondent people, "This is only beyond your capacity to solve, not mine!"
"Menglong, what did you mean when you said you have a background?"
"Yeah, don't tell me your family has come into contact with aliens?"
Upon reflection, it wasn't impossible!
After all, every year there were numerous unidentified flying object incidents, so you never know if aliens were around.
And Zhang Menglong's family was always shrouded in secrecy; perhaps they themselves were aliens hiding on Earth. This speculation wasn't new.
"I'm not sure about this, I need to ask first!" After saying that, Zhang Menglong left the room alone.
"Where did he go? Who is he going to ask?"
"Right," someone suddenly remembered something, "do you have any information about Zhang Menglong's family?"
"We've investigated before, but there is no information about his parents or any other relatives. It's like all their information has been erased."
"You think, could he really be an alien?"
"So what if he is an alien?" sighed Lord Zhou and the others, "Now we can only place all our hopes on him."
...
Leaving the Planetary Council, Zhang Menglong entered the Super God Academy directly.
"Gou Dan, I need to contact my parents about something, help me connect with them!"
"Deducting 100 Cred Points to establish an interdimensional connection..."
"Connection established!"
A holographic projection appeared before Zhang Menglong, displaying his parents.
They were in a smoky place, their location indiscernible.
"Mom, Dad! Where are you guys?" Zhang Menglong asked.
"Yo, son!" Zhang Xiaoyun lowered his voice, "We don't know where we are right now, but this place seems to be full of immortals. I suspect it might be a mythological world. I captured a guy named Zeus a couple of days ago and threw him into the Super God Academy—make sure to check on that!"
"Zeus...good lord, you've captured a western Main God."
"That guy can fight; he has a life intensity of over 80. It took your mom and me three days to knock him out," Zhang Xiaoyun said, "We've currently got our eyes on an old guy named Hongjun, seeing if we can knock him out these next couple of days!"
Zhang Menglong didn't obtain other news, but he grasped an important piece of information: his parents had actually captured Zeus, who had an energy intensity over 80! According to the Cosmic Civilization classification of Life Levels, this was a level nine life form!
That means his parents must be at least level nine life forms?
According to Katz, life forms above level five were already rare. His parents were unequivocally divine!
"By the way, son, what did you want with us?" Zhang Xiaoyun asked.
"Mom and Dad, do you have time? Can you come back and help deal with some issues?" Zhang Menglong asked, "Can you believe it? Earth has actually been invaded by aliens!"
"That's it?" Zhang Xiaoyun displayed a calm expression, as if Zhang Menglong had merely said he ate too much at dinner today.
Earth had been invaded, Earthlings could be on the brink of annihilation!
"Isn't this serious?"
"Level Two and Level Three civilizations only, need we handle this ourselves? Your mother's and my time is very precious; dealing with such matters is simply a waste of our lives!"
"Huh?"
"I've said this before, there's hardly anything our family can't handle, and that includes not just Earth but also our tiny broken universe."
"Tiny... tiny broken universe?"
"You don't know, after we left that universe, we realized how truly small and low-grade it is. Other universes with advanced civilizations can create some freaky stuff, last month..."
"Hold on!" Zhang Menglong seemed to have caught on to a crucial piece of information, "Have you encountered other civilizations from our planet?"
"Of course!" Zhang Xiaoyun said, "One of our ancestors named Zhang Kai, around three thousand years ago, met an alien from a Level Three civilization millions of light years away. Later, our ancestor took him out, had nothing else to do, and just went off to play in the universe."
"Having nothing else to do..." Zhang Menglong was speechless, just how idle could one be?
"It's said he played outside for two or three thousand years, made quite a few friends, even started a business with some success, he should still have some assets in the Cosmic Bank. I met him when I was a child, later he just went off to some parallel universe to play."
"Started his own business, has some assets!" These words sparked Zhang Menglong's spirit, "Is his network strong?"
"It should be okay," Zhang Xiaoyun was somewhat uncertain.
"When he says he has some assets, how much are we talking?" Zhang Menglong pressed. On Earth, a few million in assets would already be considered decent, but this amount was less than Zhang Menglong's pocket money.
"He said so himself, you can ask the Administrator of the Super God Academy how much is in his bank account, I have no idea really, wouldn't dare to ask."
"Having money makes things easier!" Zhang Menglong suddenly felt more confident, "Enough to buy our Earth?"
"That I'm not sure, your ancestor mentioned something about a six-star account, I haven't really dealt with our world's cosmic civilization, you can find out when you go to the Cosmic Bank; but having been in business for two or three thousand years, he must have some money."
"Right, got it!"
Zhang Menglong exchanged a few more words with his parents, then left the Super God Academy.
"Who would have thought, I'm not only a rich second generation on Earth but also a cosmic rich second generation! There's an inheritance waiting for me!"
Zhang Menglong looked up at the darkened Starry Sky, "Looks like I need to take a trip to the universe now."
Money makes the world go round, Zhang Menglong believed this law applied not only on Earth but should work within cosmic civilizations as well.
With sufficient funds, he could buy Earth and become the Lord of Earth, and at least in the cosmic civilization, he could openly protect his own civilization.
And maybe he could even venture to some Level Five civilization and buy a few Level Five warships; he didn't believe Katz's backing Level Three civilization would dare show off in front of him then!
Who would be beaten then, still remains to be seen!
But how should he get out there?
The spaceship Katz and his crew arrived in was already wrecked, and more than 80% of its power system was destroyed.
"Right!" Zhang Menglong suddenly remembered the spaceship he drove back from the glacier, that spaceship's power system was still intact although the model was a bit old, but if he made some minor adjustments, combining two spaceships, it might just work?
"Good Lord, going to show off in cosmic civilization, the thought is quite thrilling!"
