The case of the murderous pets in Blessed Paradise came to an end .

A week later, they heard the good news of Spirit Creation Creatures having secured part of the construction deal for Subway No . 20 .

The students in Agricultural University cheered once more .

After all, if biochemical modification technology could be used in various aspects of Dragon City’s development, it would prove beneficial for them when looking for job opportunities, creating their own businesses, or cultivating .

Meng Chao was treated as someone who performed an outstanding service by Xie Xiaolei in terms of proving their innocence and helping them get the construction deal . He was invited to Spirit Creation Creatures a few times so that Xie Xiaolei could thank him, and they talked about the possibility of Spirit Creation Creatures working together with Superstar Resource Recovery Company .

Meng Chao also witnessed the process of Spirit Creation Creatures trying to develop an upgraded version of the Giant Sandworm .

Apparently, Gao Ye found inspiration in the industrial wastewater in the depths of Trash Site 4 . He developed a brand new formula that would make the Giant Sandworms even larger and smarter . Their work efficiency would also increase by a large degree and they would provide even more help to the long-term development of underground tunnels for transportation purposes for the next few decades .

When Meng Chao looked at the Giant Sandworms that were larger than train coaches, he felt uneasy .

For a week, he felt like he had a lot of clues, but he was not able to smooth out his thoughts . At night, he often dreamed about the Supernatural Entity eating the foundation of the city and making it collapse . During the day, he was plagued by various thoughts .

Even Qin Hu, who came to eat with him, could see that he was feeling uneasy .

In not so nice terms, Qin Hu was someone who did not have a stance on the matter . It was his characteristic . He changed his views like socks and was the type of person to let his biases decide his choices .

In nicer terms, Qin Hu was someone who had great resistance . He knew how to adapt to situations and could change his viewpoint and the way he did things based on the situation .

After cultivating for a few months, he had not recovered his strength and reached Heaven Realm .

But that did not stop him from being carefree and enjoying his life every day .

In his words, the path of a superhuman had always been a hellish road filled with trials and tribulations . As long as his head was still connected to his neck, and his neck was still connected to his chest, then he was fine .

When he noticed that the usual cultivation method could not help him regain his strength, he decided to just set this problem aside for the time being . He concentrated on expanding Superstar Resource Recovery Company’s business and managed to make the company flourish and grow .

Since Meng Chao was a big help to Spirit Creation Creatures, Xie Xiaolei decided to return the favor, and there was a huge possibility that he could increase Superstar’s business scale and strength to a new degree .

Qin Hu had joined forces with Meng Chao on Prosperity . With the shares he held, he was the second most powerful person in Superstar, so it was only natural that he needed to discuss things with Meng Chao when it came to how they could make things work for the businesses related to Spirit Creation Creatures .

Meng Chao’s absent-minded look immediately attracted the attention of this experienced member of society .

“Meng Chao, you seem to have run into some kind of trouble . Even though my strength has plummeted and my cultivation base is not as great as before, my experiences still remain . Be it problems with love or business, I can give you some pointers . ”

Meng Chao frowned and tactfully rejected Qin Hu’s kindness . He said that it was a matter concerning the biochemical modification field and runic symbol machines field . No matter how experienced Qin Hu was as a hunter, he was in a completely different and unrelated field .

“I’ve been in the hunter circle for years, and there are people from all sorts of factions there . I know all sorts of strange people with amazing skills, and I’ve seen all sorts of weird stuff in my life . Don’t they say that the bystanders are the ones who can view the situation clearly? Even if I can’t give you a convincing explanation about what is going on, I can help you analyze it and get rid of some of that gloominess . ”

Meng Chao could not win against him, so he turned on his laptop and brought out the thread that had started the whole conflict between the biochemical modification and runic symbol machines faction .

Qin Hu cast it a glance and said, “Isn’t this the thread about the case of murderous pets in Blessed Paradise? It caused quite a ruckus a few days ago . I thought that it has already been solved and the culprit has been captured?”

“Yeah,” Meng Chao said . “The culprit has been captured, but I received some information on my side saying that these threads were not posted by online ghostwriters hired by the culprit, which makes sense . The culprit felt guilty and he knew full well that it’s impossible to create confusion in this way . It only angered the biochemical modification faction and the case’s exposure rose to new heights . This brought no benefits to Heavenly Works Machines .

“So, my question is, who asked the online ghostwriters to post these threads?”

Qin Hu scratched his beard . “There are plenty of people online who love chaos . Anyone could have posted it . What’s so strange here?”

Meng Chao shook his head and said, “That’s not right . The pictures and information in the thread are very professional and highly confidential . Only the people from the two companies or someone from the monster research department would know about this . It’s impossible for someone unrelated to the case to have posted it . ”

“So what? The case has already been closed . Why are you still worried about who posted the thread? Does it matter who did it?”

“It doesn’t . I might just be paranoid . ” Meng Chao sighed and exited the webpage . “I just feel like the case hasn’t been solved beautifully, and this is the only suspicious point I can find… Forget it . Now that I think about it carefully, no matter who sent it, it won’t be able to prove that a problem exists . ”

“Wait . ” Qin Hu scrolled to an article and cast it a glance . His eyes lit up, and he grabbed Meng Chao’s arm . He said with a grin, “Meng Chao, no matter what, I’ve been working in society for a few more years compared to you . You made the right choice by coming to me for advice . ”

Meng Chao was slightly stunned . “You know who asked the online ghostwriters to post that thread?”

“How would I know? I’m not a God!” Qin Hu let out a huff, which made his moustache and beard move . “But I do know which ghostwriter did this,” he said smugly

“What?!” Meng Chao shot up . “Mr . Hu, please go into detail . ”

“Online ghostwriters are online mass media companies, entertainment companies, and the private studios of those involved in we-media . They have clear styles in their promotion methods, especially when it comes to the long phrases . There are few people who can imitate them,” Qin Hu said . “If my guess is correct, the various threads came from an online mass media company called Drizzle Studio . This article has Drizzle’s writing style . He’s the editor-in-chief . ”

Meng Chao went over to take a look .

It was the article written in the tone of a student from the University of Technology, which had enraged the students from Agricultural University .

“Isn’t this written by a student from the University of Technology? Mr . Hu, are you sure that this is from Drizzle Studio?” Meng Chao asked with hesitation .

“I worked with them before,” Qin Hu said . “The main job of superhuman fighting squads is to fight in the wild, but managing our image and promoting our achievements is equally important . We need a high exposure rate to attract the attention of a large number of citizens, since it’s the only way we can find good sponsors and become spokespeople for the weapons and equipment from major factories . That’s why we often look for mass media companies online to write advertorials and help us create some publicity .

“Drizzle Studio might not be the most famous and best online mass media company, but their professionalism is first class . They have a lot of connections to various channels as well . We’ve worked together a few times, so I have a deep impression of their working style . ”

“Mr . Hu, are you absolutely sure of this?”

“Of course I’m not . ” Qin Hu shrugged and added in an irresponsible manner, “There’s still the possibility of someone imitating their style to send these advertorials or reactionary articles . ”

Meng Chao thought about it and asked, “Mr . Hu, could you help me look for the person-in-charge of Drizzle Studio?”

“I’m afraid not,” Qin Hu said . “I contacted them online, so I’ve never met them before . You must understand, those working in this field often have to stir up public opinion . They spy on the higher-ups and reveal all sorts of shocking news .

“They’re hated by everyone, so they’re usually very careful in real life . Unless they’ve worked together with a major client for years, they don’t usually reveal their identities . ”

“Is that so…” Meng Chao was silent for a while, then went outside to call Yan Feirou .

“Meng Chao, you didn’t contact me since you defeated Dragon City University’s Wang Dao!” Yan Feirou grinned on the screen .

Meng Chao exchanged some pleasantries with her and asked her whether she knew of Drizzle Studio .

Yan Feirou was an internet celebrity and in charge of the promotional work for Yan Organization, so he guessed that she would not be unfamiliar with online mass media companies .

“Has Drizzle Studio ever worked with Yan Organization before?” Meng Chao asked . “If I wanted to meet the person-in-charge from Drizzle Studio, could you recommend me to him or her?”

“Sure, no problem . Yan Organization is a major client of Drizzle Studio . We’re very familiar with their person-in-charge, Drizzle,” Yan Feirou said readily . “But what sort of reason should I give if they ask for one?”

Meng Chao’s mind raced . “It’s like this, Superstar Resource Recovery Company has been growing really quickly, but we haven’t done any work to promote our company’s image . I’m thinking of finding someone professional to plan our overall image and help us present ourselves in a suitable manner . I heard that Drizzle Studio has a pretty good reputation in the field, so I wanted to look for the person-in-charge to talk to him or her . ”

“Sure . I’ll ask them for their opinion so you can go and meet them . How does that sound?”

“I’ve booked a business suite in a hotel today . Could you ask the person-in-charge to go there and talk to me? And uh, you know, about confidentiality…”

Yan Feirou grinned . “Sure, I get it!”

Drizzle, the person-in-charge of Drizzle Studio, was an imposing man with the height of eight feet .

Based on his appearance, he did not give off the impression that he was as gentle as his online ID, Drizzle, implied, and he did not look as arrogant as the person who stirred up conflict online either .

He was dressed in a suit and looked like a full of vigor elite in the business field .

“Mr . Meng, hello . Thank you for trusting Drizzle Studio . Ms . Yan told me the general gist of your request . While I was coming here, I’ve thought of a few plans . ”

The moment he entered the business suite Meng Chao had prepared, Drizzle went straight to the point . “Superstar Resource Recovery Company has recently become very famous in the harvesting circle, and your action of buying the veteran Prosperity Resource Recovery Company at lightning speed has also been treated as your signature move for becoming famous . It’s said that the sky’s the limit for your company .

“But you’ve been growing too quickly, so there has to be various problems in your company . So, you need a new angle to promote your company . You made a wise move coming to us to make a plan for you and form your public image—cough, cough . ”

Drizzle coughed lightly . The air in the business suite might have been too dry .

Meng Chao poured a cup of tea for him and another for himself . He invited him to take a seat on the couch so they could discuss the matter .
