The Urban Dao Child.

Chapter 177 - Shocking Growth.

Yang Dao smiled when he read the statement issued by the PMO, a smile emerged on his face. The boy called Mary to deal with this as soon as possible. The latter agreed. She said that it will be the first thing she does in the morning. 

The call disconnected on a pleasant note. Yang Dao and Laohu Bai ate some light meal and the former went back to his room. He sat down with his legs crossed and started to meditate. Soon, he could 'see' the glowing sea of source energy in his body. 

According to the explanation that Laohu Bai gave him that day first, he must integrate the source particle energy in his muscles, then his bones. Then he must try to channel it outside his body. The boy moved the source particle energy to his muscles. 

The energy nourished his muscles slowly and strengthened them as well. His muscles had an azure glaze to them. It was the glaze of the element. As he sat in meditation, he lost the perception of time. 

Laohu Bai pushed open his door at night. She was here to call him for dinner, but when he saw him immersed in meditation she did not disturb him. She went outside the room and dismissed the maids, then she returned and sat down in front of him. 

The girl started meditating as well. Two people sat down in silence, immersed in meditation. Yang Dao was vaguely aware of his surroundings. He was aware that Laohu Bai was sitting down beside him. 

He was not sure about how strong the white-haired girl was, but one thing was sure that if Yang Dao was a ball of light then Laohu Bai was as big as the sun. 

...

Unknowingly seven days had passed since the boy sat down in meditation. He was the Dao Child, otherwise three days to complete the two stages that even the familiars completed only after a month when they trained themselves. 

Yang Dao let out a breath, it was as if a bullet from a gun. His room was very big, the place he sat was ten meters away from the wall in front of him but the breath shot out and hit the wall. Leaving a clean hole. It was three inches deep dent with sharp edges as if cut by a machine. 

He opened his eyes, looked around, did not find the white-haired girl. She had left a few hours ago. Yang Dao stood up and his body emitted clicking sounds. His whole skeleton was refreshed and relaxed. He looked around and noticed that his height had increased by five centimeters. 

The boy walked up to the mirror in front, he noticed the changes in his body. His vague muscles were clearer, his eyes were sharper than before, his height was taller than before. Suddenly the door of the room was pushed open and Feng Yun walked in with Laohu Bai. 

The latter told her that Yang Dao was immersed in cultivation so she came to check. When they found the boy looking at himself in the mirror, trying to assess his own changes they both smiled. Feng Yun said, "Dao, why not we do a comprehensive physical assessment?"

Yang Dao looked at her and smiled, "Okay." 

Three people then came to the gym inside the mansion. Laohu Bai said, "We have the data from your best performance in the military training. Now you do the following things again and we will compare it with the previous data." 

The boy nodded and came over to the treadmill. This treadmill had one wire attached to the computer in the room. The use was to calculate the top speed of the runner. It did not have a motor in it. The faster you run the more the speed. 

Yang Dao started to run slowly and soon his pace started to pick up. 

...

While Yang Dao was going through a comprehensive test, Mary was busy with the data surge in the company. The Helping hand shelters and employees were working 24*7 and the response was terrific. 

A lot of big businessmen came over to join them in this initiative. The well-off people also supported the initiative with both money and heart. The company had established help centers in the poorest and remotest regions first. This whole thing did not even take them twenty-four hours. 

The people were amazed at this efficiency shown by the company. On the second day, they had registered at least a hundred thousand people in need. Now, as soon as the result of the test came out they all would have a happy week before they start training for the occupations they qualify for. 

The company had a trash recycling chain set up. In this chain, the gathered daily trash will be segregated between, Bio-degradable, and non-degradable. The former trash is sent to decompose. 

The decomposed trash is mixed with cow dung and other animal waste collected from the whole area. This mix is stored underground in a high-pressure chamber, that produces, flammable gas, a substitute for the current mode of fuel they use. The only difference between the two gasses was the color they produced when set on fire. 

When the fermented mix has produced enough gas it is replaced with a new batch, the old batch is left to dry in the sun. Before it dries it germinates maggots, these disgusting and creepy seeming insects feed on the drying mixture and enrich it even more by pooping in it. 

This whole poopy stuff is the best fertilizer. It generates money and the money is sent out as aid. 

This was only one of the methods of the company. In the past seven days, the company had already sold one batch and the profit they made was enough to support twice as many people as possible. 

...

The growth of Yang Dao and the Helping Hand initiative was shocking. Whereas the boy shocked the two girls the latter shocked the whole world. The Dao Child had gathered a lot of love and merit for his deeds, but some have taken special hate for him as well. 

What happened next was highly anticipated.
