Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

Chapter 249: Two Choose One

When the Deity Realm fighters fought in Raging Waves for all sorts of reasons, Lin Chuan finished creating the first hole and sealed a crystal bomb in it.

But when he was creating the second hole, he ran into a problem.

His arms were already numb because of the metal chisel, and his fingers no longer felt like they belonged to him. His blood had covered the stone, and it was slippery. His angle was wrong, and the chisel instantly slid down.

Lin Chuan groped around until he found the chisel. He tried a few more times, but failed.

The stones in the cave were just too sturdy. He had to find a unique angle and use all his strength to create a perfect hole for the bombs.

But he was already at the end of his strength. He could no longer squeeze out even a bit of power to do his job.

The “magma” under his feet was getting brighter. In fact, it was so bright that even a blind man like him could see it.

He licked his dry lips and lifted his metal chisel again to hit the stone.

Clang!

It fell out of his hand.

But it did not fall on the ground. Someone picked it up and stuffed it into his hands.

When Lin Chuan looked around, he was stunned.

His father looked at him with a smile.

Lin Chuan felt so ashamed that he wanted to crawl into a hole and die.

‘Dad, do you know all that I did? Do you blame me?’

“I told you multiple times that a detonation hole isn’t made like this.” His father did not ask about him and the White Spirit. He only said seriously, “Even though this is just a basic and insignificant task underground, our hard work is very important to the future of Dragon City.

“Without us miners mining the crystals one by one, the factories wouldn’t have spirit energy and would have to stop working; the superhumans wouldn’t have gene medicine and high-calorie nutritional fluid and would be unable to cultivate. Then, Dragon City would be ruined!

“Son, that’s why you mustn’t look down on my job. Miners are also very strong!”

“Of course, Dad,” Lin Chuan mumbled. “Miners are also very strong.”

“So, learn properly. You might end up taking over my job in the future!” his father said. “You have to hold the chisel with your hands like this, not too tightly, but not too loosely either. It will allow you to bring forth your power and you won’t be injured by the impact drill and vibration hammer. Position your thumbs this way, and you’ll be able to sense the faint changes in the stones, which will allow you to find the weakest spots. Can you sense it?”

Lin Chuan nodded. “Yeah.”

Clang.

The metal chisel fell on the ground again.

“Look at how clumsy you are!” His father pursed his lips and picked up the metal chisel again. He stuffed it into Lin Chuan’s hands.

“I... I can’t do it anymore,” Lin Chuan said weakly. “Dad, could you do it?”

“Bah, you’re my son. Don’t go saying that you can’t do something!”

His father scolded him, but he showed his thick arms, which were as thick as a gorilla’s. He held the metal chisel together with Lin Chuan and said gently, “We’ll do it together. Pretend that these damn rocks are the strongest monsters, and we’ll crush them all!”

Lin Chuan smiled.

His father had been a miner for decades and dealing with these petty rocks was as easy as breathing for him.

Soon, they finished creating the second hole.

His father’s face was pale. His hands around the metal chisel trembled nonstop, and he spat in slight embarrassment and anger. But no matter what he did, he could not help Lin Chuan anymore to make the last and most crucial hole.

“I’ll do it!”

At that moment, Lin Chuan heard Lu Siya’s father’s voice.

In great shock, Lin Chuan and his father stared at the gentle and elegant middle-aged man in a suit crawling forward until he arrived in front of them. He removed his suit and rolled up his sleeves before he grinned at them.

“What? Do you think that I only know how to sit at the top and give orders?” Lu Siya’s father asked. “If I didn’t have some tricks up my sleeve, how could I control so many wild miners and become the boss of the mining company?”

“Mr. Lu, it’s you?” His father smiled. “It’s been a long time since we met. You haven’t forgotten your old skills, have you?”

“Are you looking down on me? Then, let’s compete!” Lu Siya’s father said.

Both of them flanked Lin Chuan and grabbed his arms. They poured all their strength into his body. It might be battered, but his blood vessels popped up on his skin as blood circulated in him.

“Mr. Lu, thank you for teaching my son so well,” his father said.

“It’s what I should do. You’re a hero, and he will turn into a hero as well,” Lu Siya’s father said.

Tears streamed down Lin Chuan’s face. “Dad, Uncle Lu, I...”

“Don’t say anything, child. Come, let’s defeat these stones together!” his father and Lu Siya’s father said together. Both of them poured strength into their arms at the same time and helped Lin Chuan strike the first spark on the last stone.

Among the sparks, Lin Chuan saw Lu Siya and Whitey.

It was very strange. Every time he was in the wild and was so badly injured that he was at Death’s door, he would see Lu Siya in his daze.

And every time, Lu Siya would be together with Whitey.

They had clearly never met each other, but in his dreams when he was nearly dead, they would always be together, laughing and running around. They would run over earth-gold paths covered in maidenhair tree leaves. But Lin Chuan was never able to see what they were running towards.

He made the second spark.

This time, he saw it in the spark.

As Lu Siya and Whitey ran, they reached the end of the shaded path.

There was a school in that area. It was a brand new and clean Blessed Heavenly Street Elementary School.

The children of Blessed Heavenly Garden and Joyous Heavenly Garden studied and cultivated there seriously. Smoke curled up from the cafeteria behind the classrooms, and it smelled great.

Chain explosions that sounded like the roars of ancient monsters came from the Red Radiance Jade mine.

The light was like magma, and it spread out swiftly. It burned his legs.

Perhaps it was due to the pill that contained Lu Siya’s warmth, but he did not sense even the slightest bit of pain. He gritted his teeth and created the third spark.

Ring!

The bell for recess rang. The children ran out and surrounded Whitey to play. They smiled, and Whitey smiled as well. The school was filled with cheers and laughter.

And he sat together with Lu Siya on a swing by the corner. They swung up and down while watching. They did not think about anything and did not need to be bothered by anything. They just let the gentle warmth of the sun shine on them.

“By the way, school is about to end soon. Let me bring you to eat the fried lizards made by Grandpa Wang at the entrance,” Lin Chuan heard himself say to Lu Siya.

“You’ll scream when you see the environment in which they’re made, but that scent... Trust me, once you eat them, you won’t forget them. You’ll... never forget them.”

The spirit energy tsunami surged at him.

The magma-like light engulfed his legs.

He used the final bit of his strength to tear open the seal of a crystal bomb and stuffed it into the last hole. Then, he used his body to block the hole.

Lin Chuan faced the spirit energy tsunami head-on.

His vitality magnetic field turned into the Undying Bird and flew up through the endless darkness.

This time, the Weeping Reaper did not cry.

His blood and tears turned into the most brilliant smile.

Meng Chao, Qin Hu, and Lu Siya heard an astonishing explosion under their feet.

Before, the spirit energy magnetic field interference had charged at their vitality magnetic fields like waves, but now, it miraculously became weaker.

The three of them looked at each other.

Lu Siya fell limp on the ground, and finally, she could not help but cry.

Meng Chao and Qin Hu pursed their lips. They went to her sides and lifted her up.

“Big Sis Ya, let’s go. Big Brother Lin has only temporarily sealed the explosion of the Red Radiance Jades. He won’t be able to stall for long. We have to use every second that we have to escape and change the world!” Meng Chao shouted.

“That’s right, Ms. Lu, think about the first mining rights!” Qin Hu shouted as well.

Both of them pulled and dragged her until they reached a place that was not far away from the territory of the Stone Statue Fungi and Ten Thousand Blade Flying Spiders.

The spirit energy magnetic field interference became stronger. The wall Lin Chuan blew up was gradually crushed, melted, and reduced to magma by the rampaging spirit energy released by the Red Radiance Jades.

Before long, every underground crack under Raging Waves would be filled with a destructive gale. It would, of course, tear all the creatures underground to shreds.

Meng Chao looked at the countless Ten Thousand Blade Flying Spiders jumping about on the wall. They looked like rats that fell into a pot full of oil and had nowhere to run.

“We can’t take this route. It’s too long and too dangerous,” Qin Hu said while panting. “When we came, we found a few cracks that went up. We might be able to climb up to Raging Waves through them. It might be dangerous, but we can only take the risk!”

“Alright, we’ll listen to you.” Meng Chao made the decision. “Mr. Hu, lead the way, I trust you!”

Qin Hu looked at Meng Chao curiously. He scratched his moustache and wondered why the brat would trust him so much. Even he himself did not quite trust that they could crawl up through those cracks!

But things had already progressed that far, so they had no other choice. He could only rely on his memories and instincts to look for the cracks in the walls and climb up.

The three of them climbed for a long time.

The temperature under their feet rose higher, and the spirit energy magnetic field interference grew stronger. The spirit energy tsunami was about to catch up to them.

But two cracks appeared ahead of them. One was to the left, and the other to the right. Both of them were wide enough for humans to crawl in them.

Qin Hu hesitated.

“Mr. Hu, which is it?” Meng Chao felt incredibly anxious.

“Um...” Qin Hu scratched his moustache with all his strength. “We didn’t go into deep detail when we explored the place. Even if we used ultrasound feedback, it was impossible to accurately draw a map of all the forks in the cracks. I only know that this is the general direction, as for which it is...”

“We have a fire coming at our butts! We don’t have time!” Meng Chao growled. “Trust your instincts, Mr. Hu, pick one!”

Qin Hu cast a glance at the bright spirit flames under his feet and gulped with great difficulty. He made his decision and pointed at the crack to the left. “That one!”

“Alright, let’s go!” Meng Chao quickly crawled over.

But Lu Siya had regained her composure and observant nature. She yanked Meng Chao back. “No, it’s the one on the right. I’m a Spirit Sensor. I can sense faint spirit energy changes above us. That one leads to the ground.”

“That’s right. Ms. Lu is a Spirit Sensor and mine explorer. We won’t go wrong listening to her. It’s the one on the right.” Qin Hu nodded like a chicken pecking at food.

He wanted to crawl to the path on the right, but Meng Chao stopped him.

“Wait, Mr. Hu, I want to know your reason for choosing the one on the left.” Meng Chao’s eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a gambler who had just bet all his savings on something. “Why did you choose the left?”

Qin Hu stammered for a long time before he said, “What reason could there be? You asked me to rely on my instincts and choose one, so I just chose one! Ms. Lu is the professional, so we should listen to her.”

“Even if it’s just instincts, there’s a reason for it! Why did your instincts tell you that the left is the path leading to salvation?! Tell me!” Meng Chao was incredibly fierce. He looked like a demon.

Qin Hu and Lu Siya were both shocked by him.

Qin Hu’s face turned red, and he said, “Because... don’t you think that the crack on the left... looks like, you know, the curves of a beautiful woman when she lays down?”

Meng Chao widened his eyes and looked at the crack to the left for a long time before he said in shock, “You’re right, it does!”

Lu Siya found herself speechless.

“So, if you were running away alone and arrived at this place, you’d definitely choose the beauty crack on the left if you had to choose, right?”

Qin Hu tried defending himself with a red face. “What are you saying? You make it sound like I’m some pervert. I’m a person with principles. I was only thinking about it in my head—”

“You don’t have to explain, I understand.” Meng Chao pounded his fist against the ground. “We’re taking the left tunnel!”

Lu Siya was dumbfounded. “What are you—? Meng Chao, are you mad? Why are you choosing the one on the left?”

“Because...” Meng Chao blinked. “Don’t you think that crack on the left looks like a beautiful woman?”

Lu Siya was about to go mad. “What kind of reason is that?!”

“You don’t understand, this crack doesn’t just look like a woman lying on her side, it’s also...” Meng Chao looked conflicted. He did not know how to explain things.

“What is it?” Lu Siya pressed on.

Meng Chao sucked in a deep breath and gritted his teeth. “It also... has bumps at the front and back. The curves are all there!”
