Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal Chapter 260 - 10 Million, to Round It Up

Chapter 260: 10 Million, to Round It UpTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Actually, two agility attribute points were not much, but neither was it little.
Had it been added to an ordinary person, two points would make almost no impact, and there won’t be much difference. Even if it were 20 points, there wouldn’t be a significant change as well.
However, if it were added to an athlete…
That would have a completely different significance to it, and the world record would definitely be broken again.
Of course, Hong Dali was totally not thinking about that. Of course, a sports competition would require real ability to be put to use, and relying on this to cheat would be too careless—there would be a greater possibility that this would not have any effect on an athlete who had reached the limits of the human body.
Meanwhile, what Hong Dali was thinking about was another aspect—the health attribute.
In the midst of this gemstone refinery mission, the System had stated clearly that there was a choice of “health,” and what he wanted the most was this “health” attribute.
It was definitely the best present he could give to his loved ones, right?!
There was something else that Hong Dali was even more happy about—the System didn’t increase the monetary amount further though he’d won in this stone-gambling!
This was extremely important. What Hong Dali feared most was that the System would increase the necessary Squandering Value after he’d won. If that were the case, it could easily deduct numerous attribute points—after his health points had been deducted completely, what difference would that make from him being dead?
However, he had to study properly into why there was no money counted for stone-gambling. After winning the lottery, the Current Squandering Value was directly deducted. Meanwhile, this stone-gambling… Upon thinking till this point, a stone vendor loudly shouted, “Young Master Dali, can you sell me this piece of jade?”
“Oh.” Hong Dali thought for a while. “I’m not selling it, I’ll give it away!” That stone vendor went away crying his heart out…
The key reason why he didn’t sell it was that Hong Dali understood why the stone-gambling did not result in any money counted!
After the lottery had been bought, there was directly the Current Squandering Value shown. However, stone-gambling was different—as long as he didn’t sell the stone that he had gotten from betting, it wouldn’t be worth a single cent, and this thing would not have a definite value on its own.
Now I have nothing to worry about, there won’t be an issue as long as I don’t sell it. Then, what am I waiting for?!
Thus, Hong Dali no longer had the slightest interest in those 500 yuan untrimmed quarry stones. He didn’t even take a look at the remaining ones as he directly said, “It’s about enough, throw away the remaining ones.”
This was the number one prodigal of Tianjing City—when he said he wanted to go to another place, the crowd surrounding him was instantly curious.
Everyone knew that Hong Dali had always been generous with his spending. Yang Chao, by now, was already curious to the max. He anxiously said as he walked, “How much is Young Master Dali planning to bet on this time? It’s all open bidding today. I believe that as long as Young Master Dali likes it, nobody would fight for it with you!”
“Oh, I’ll place a bigger bet.” Hong Dali snapped his fingers. “High-quality.”
Where were these high-quality stones mentioned by Young Master?
50,000 yuan a piece? That’s spare change! It has to be at least 100,000 yuan and above, without any discount! You need to understand Young Master Dali’s style—not necessarily the best, but it must be the most expensive one!
Thus, without further ado, Yang Chao brought Hong Dali to the front of the most expensive studio.
The stones here were 100,000 yuan and above, and the expensive ones were even close to a million!
One piece of untrimmed quarry stone for one million yuan, this was definitely big spending.
Currently, in this studio, there were a few people holding their cameras and continuously taking pictures of the few pieces of untrimmed quarry stones, and the rest were writing and drawing.
Hong Dali felt strange by seeing this, what were those people idling around there for? What were they doing by only looking and not buying?
“Brother Yang, what are they up to?” Hong Dali pointed to a bespectacled middle-aged man of around 50 years old who was wearing round traditional spectacles, with a retro side parting hairstyle, and had a little bit of mustache on his upper lip, and asked, “These are all reporters who have come to gather news?”
“This…” Yang Chao was rather amused as he shook his head. “That’s not the case. These people are stone-gambling lovers, and they would normally pick the best few pieces of stones when they come. However, of course, ordinary people wouldn’t be able to bet on all the stones, so they’re planning to bring pictures of the stones back to at least get the satisfaction of looking at them. Of course, there are many people here that can afford to bet, but it’s just that they are more rational and are unwilling to bet their assets on it, so they’re here just for the fun of it.”
“Oh, I see.” Hong Dali touched his chin and looked at a few pieces of untrimmed quarry stones in the studio.
By then, everyone around had started their own discussions. “Hey, dude, how many stones do you think this Young Master Dali will buy?” “I’m guessing 70 to 80 pieces. The quality of the stones here are much better than that side, as long as one gemstone is extracted from it, that’s a windfall for him.” “70 or 80 pieces, even if it’s 200,000 yuan per piece, it’d require at least 1.5 million and above. Would this Young Master Dali really spend so much? He doesn’t even know how to bet on stones!” “Tsk, Young Master Dali is famous for being generous, how would he be mindful of a million yuan or so? Just wait and see!” “That’s true, haha!”
While those people were having discussions below, Hong Dali instead felt that these stones were very fun to play with.
The biggest of the few untrimmed quarry stones before him, which were placed in the middle, had to weight at least a hundred kilograms. More than ten pieces of untrimmed quarry stones of different sizes surrounded it, and it was as if an emperor had brought his entourage along with him for a trip. Of course, it was also not wrong to say that it was like a city with an uneven structure. Anyway, its exterior was rather unique.
Just then, that middle-aged man wearing a pair of round and old-fashioned glasses with a little mustache went to take a few more pictures, and soon after, when he spotted one of the stones, he started to stroke his chin.
His target was one of the pieces of untrimmed quarry stones that looked like it weighed about tens of kilograms, and the bidding price was 580,000 yuan.
580,000 yuan, it was truly not a small amount. Thus, he hesitated.
However, why would Hong Dali care about him? He looked around again and asked Ling Xiaoyi, “Sister Xiaoyi, how much do these untrimmed quarry stones in front of me cost in total?”
“All these?” Ling Xiaoyi did a rough calculation. “Young Master, it’s a total of 5.6 million.”
“Oh…” Hong Dali oh-ed for a while, then asked Yang Chao again, “Brother Yang, are there still untrimmed quarry stones of better quality here? Or there’s only these?”
Yang Chao glanced around and pointed to somewhere. “There’s still some more over there, they total up to about 4 million yuan and above. Why, Young Master Dali, are you planning to play it big?”
Upon hearing their conversation, the onlookers began to listen intently.
What did he mean by asking about how much they cost in total?
Soon after, they understood what that meant very quickly. Hong Dali didn’t even look carefully and instantly smiled and said, “Then, get 10 million yuan worth of these, to round it up.”
*Kacha… *
Kacha…
There were sounds of hearts breaking all around the area, and numerous onlookers clasped their chests and exclaimed. “Aiyo, my heart… Does this Young Master Dali even know how to bet on stones? Who plays as he does, this is not like buying vegetables on the market!” “He offered 10 million without even looking at them… I concede, I really concede, he really lives up to his fame as a prodigal…” “We’ve never spent so much though we’ve been here for so many years, right? 10 million spent at one go, and it’s to round the number up…”
It really had been an eye-opener for them today—If you’re spending 100 yuan which was rounded up from tens of yuan worth of stones, that was still fine. However, it was definitely the first time these people heard of someone who rounded up the amount this way…
580,000 rounded up to 10 million…
However, Tang Muxin and the rest who had often followed Hong Dali around thought that it was rather normal. Regarding Hong Dali’s amount of spending, that normally was as big as it could be!
Just then, the director of Penghui Films, Lao Deming, who had faithfully followed and carefully tended to Hong Dali, was so shocked that his heart almost leaped out. “Ten million spent just like that. Oh god, it’s enough to film a blockbuster movie already…”
“Young Master Dali,” Yang Chao was now truly full of admiration towards Hong Dali. “You’re really planning to buy them all to cut open?”
“Ah,” Hong Dali said as a matter of fact. “I’m buying and cutting them open for fun.”
Ten million to buy untrimmed quarry stones to cut them open for fun…
Yang Chao felt that the amount of information today was a bit too much.
After all, he could be counted as one of the top few aristocratic young masters in Beijin city. His Yang family had a huge wealth of a few billion in assets in total, but it was already very impressive of him to splurge about a million to have some fun here. Now that he compared himself with Hong Dali—forget it, he’d only be left with tears by saying more. It was truly child’s play, people truly couldn’t be compared against each other…
By then, Ling Xiaoyi had already gone to make the necessary arrangements. The eyes of that middle-aged man who had been taking pictures previously immediately lit up upon him hearing that Hong Dali wanted to buy all the stones. Upon a few more careful glances, he instantly went to stand behind Hong Dali and said in a small voice, “It’s Young Master Dali? Which piece of untrimmed quarry stone have you taken a fancy to?”
“You know me?” Hong Dali strangely asked, “We’ve seen each other before?”
“Ah, hehe, it could be said so. I’ve seen you on television,” The middle-aged man grinned as he said, “I’ve come here not because I had nothing better to do. Actually, I’m a stone-gambling lover too, and I just came to see whether something good will be extracted from that piece of untrimmed quarry stone that I fancy.”
“Oh, is that so.” Hong Dali indifferently said, “I’m cutting it open for fun. If there’s something good inside, I’ll give it away.”
Everyone collapsed on the spot.
Round up the cost to ten million to cut the stones open for fun, if there’s something good he’ll directly give it away…
Even if one could not compare himself with others, you can’t undermine their confidence, alright!
By then, Xiaoyi had already handled all the necessary procedures, and now these few pieces of untrimmed quarry stones belonged to Hong Dali. Hong Dali grinned as he said, “It’s all done? Then let’s cut them open and see, what if there’s something good, heh heh.”
Everyone rolled their eyes in unison: “Are you cutting open a watermelon, to ‘cut them open and see…’
The stonecutter instantly came over. By then, his palms were soaked with cold sweat as well. Such big spending by this Young Master Dali gave him huge stress.
This was a big scene, and this batch of stones was all of good quality and came in huge sizes. Just this piece in front of him alone was already worth 420,000 yuan. If a top-grade jade was really extracted from it, it would increase in value by over ten folds—that would be five to six million yuan.
“I’m really cutting it now!” Since things have come to this point, the stonecutter braced himself for it. What the heck, I’ve done this for so many years, but why does my heart still beat so rapidly when I’m just cutting a stone? I really regress the more I live.
“Cut it.” Hong Dali was not worried at all. “Do it fast!”
The stonecutter instantly trembled a little. Dude, I’m afraid you’re the only one capable of speaking about cutting stones as if it was chopping someone’s head off…
After he’d put the untrimmed quarry stone under a stone-cutting machine beside him, the stonecutter wiped his sweat off and said to Hong Dali, “Young Master Dali, I’m really cutting it now!”
“En, yes, get started.” Hong Dali was getting a little impatient. “Hurry up, there’s still so many over there…”
After he finished speaking, the crowd which was initially very noisy instantly become silent. Everyone held their breaths, with their pairs of eyes staring intently at the piece of untrimmed quarry stone under the stone-cutting machine.
Young Master Dali’s luck has always been great, what exactly will be extracted from this piece of untrimmed quarry stone?
