Chapter 437: Lend Me 3,000 City GuardsTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Now it was very obvious that Young Master was planning to give himself an overall upgrade. They had to support this. Anyway, Young Master’s luck was deeply rooted in their hearts. Who knew what he’d be able to do again…
Thus, Ling Xiaoyi hurriedly asked, “Th… That, Young Master, how much gold do I need to buy?”
“Um, let me think.” Hong Dali touched his chin. “How much capital funds can I mobilize now? Try to buy more, or else it’s boring to always reward cash. I’m quite tired of it.”
Buy more gold! Tang Muxin’s eyes lit up upon hearing this. “This is good. Gold is a hard currency, it’s quite good to buy some and store it! Dali, I support you!”
“Let me see.” Ling Xiaoyi looked at her notebook. Written on it was everything that Hong Dali had started up. “After deducting the money spent on buying the aviation carrier, there’s still about one billion in capital funds that can be mobilized. Young Master, how much are you planning to buy?”
“Mm, one billion, not bad.” Hong Dali snapped his finger. “Then buy one billion worth of gold first. In the future, I’ll use it when I go out!”
Gold, such a good thing. Not only could it be used as a currency, but it could also be used to make cars. Um, probably after only making one, hundreds of thousands of yuan would be gone at once…
“One… One billion!” Tang Muxin was so shocked that her eyes opened wide. “Dali, you only have one billion in capital funds! You’re using it all to buy gold?! Then what if we need to use money in the future?”
“Easy, exchange them back again. And by going back and forth like this, a lot of money will be gone…” Hong Dali grinned. “In the future, I’ll reward gold! Xiaoyi, buy some gold bricks and let me feel them for a while!”
“O… OK…” Ling Xiaoyi was soaked in sweat. “Then I’ll go and buy the things that Young Master wants.”
As she spoke, she hurriedly went out.
This was really a big-spending today—two aviation carriers and one billion of gold…
Alas, not long after Ling Xiaoyi left, while Hong Dali was still listening to the sound of lackeys dropping from the sky, his phone suddenly rang. Hong Dali picked it up and looked at the screen. It was the Bureau Chief. Hong Dali instantly understood and picked up the call. Smiling sneakily, he asked, “Uncle Chief, what are you busy with? You’re sending me lackeys?”
“Lackeys? What lackeys?” The Bureau Chief felt strange and asked, “Haven’t your nine big lackeys always been with you. Rascal, I’ve just received news that said you want to buy aviation carriers?! And you’re buying two of them at once?! Merika’s side has contacted us. They asked us what we’re buying the retired aviation carriers for! Had I not helped defend you, they’d have thought that we wanted to go and fight against someone!”
“I’m buying them to travel to the sea, aren’t we having our vacation now?” Hong Dali grinned. “By then, Chief, aren’t you going with us to try it out? Experience it?”
“Experience my foot!” The Bureau Chief was soaked in sweat. This small rascal was actually taking aviation carriers to travel out to sea, who does it like you?!
But very soon, the Bureau Chief felt that something was amiss. Hong Dali said that he was sending him lackeys just now? That doesn’t seem right, could it be that he’d gotten to know that he was currently hypnotizing soldiers?!
This was a big issue, so the Bureau Chief hurriedly said, “Rascal, are you at Chenhui Building? Wait for me there. Don’t go anywhere, I’ll be there right away. Don’t go anywhere, do not leave!”
What the heck, what was the situation? Hong Dali felt strange and asked, “I didn’t sell them to the nation…”
“Don’t ask anymore, just wait there. Also, you must ensure that there is nobody around, you hear!” As he spoke, the Bureau Chief hung up the call.
Hong Dali was very dispirited. Previously I wasn’t allowed to touch cars. I put up with it and gave you some face. Now you’re asking me not to go anywhere, are you still letting me live? I’ve just bought two aviation carriers!
Fortunately, a short while later, the Bureau Chief frantically dashed inside. Upon seeing Hong Dali, he instantly asked, “Rascal, how do you know that I’m sending you lackeys?”
“I guessed it, heh heh.” Hong Dali smiled unfeelingly. “Just now I felt that something was quite different. Brother Turn Back is my lackey now, right? And there are still quite a few more. I’m not familiar with them, and I don’t remember their names…”
His vague reply made the Bureau Chief very troubled. It was very obvious that now, this fellow Hong Dali had evidently learned about him secretly nurturing super special agents. How he got to know about it wasn’t important, what was important was that he knew about it now.
“Xinxin, go out for a while first. I’ll talk to this brat personally for a while.” The Bureau Chief thought for a while and then said to Tang Muxin, “It’s a serious matter. I don’t have a choice.” He knew that Tang Muxin was Hong Dali’s fiancée and the two of them currently had quite a good relationship. But there was no choice, this matter was too serious. The fewer the people who knew about it, the better.
“OK. But Uncle Chief,” Tang Muxin got up and pulled the door open, then smiled and said, “Don’t bully Dali!”
“He’s the one likely to bully me!” The Bureau Chief looked very dispirited. “Don’t worry. As long as this fellow is in our Heavenly State, definitely no one can bully him. Even I can’t do anything about him.”
“OK, then I’ll go out. Take your time to talk.” As she spoke, Tang Muxin closed the door.
Bureau Chief looked at Hong Dali sitting there in a carefree manner, readjusted his mindset, then slowly said, “Rascal, I know that you have many secrets. But you’ve never talked about them, so it’s not convenient for me to ask as well. But this matter today is just too serious, I have to ask you some things. Of course, you can choose whether to reply. Now, you’re the treasure of our Heavenly State. I think you should already know that.”
“Treasure? What treasure am I?” Hong Dali curiously asked, “You’re treating a prodigal as a treasure?”
“Stop acting ignorant in front of me!” The Bureau Chief harshly said, “That luck of yours, so many amazing things you’ve done, these couldn’t possibly be faked, right? Now you want to play around with aviation carriers, you’re planning to go out of the world towards the universe.”
“I’m just a little luckier.” Hong Dali shrugged. “As for why I’m lucky, how would I know?”
“Then tell me, what are you buying the aviation carriers for?” The Bureau Chief was hopping mad. “Don’t tell me you only want to squander and travel out in the sea! There are so many yachts and cruises yet you’re not buying them, and instead chose to buy aviation carriers?”
“But that’s really what I’m thinking!” Hong Dali looked completely innocent as he aggrievedly said, “As the biggest prodigal in the world, I must have a setup in squandering! Setup! All rich people ride cruises, how boring is that? Driving an aviation carrier out will be exuberant enough. Anyway, I don’t lack money…”
“Who would believe you!” The Bureau Chief raged. “Even if you want exuberance, you needn’t get aviation carriers!”
“If I don’t get aviation carriers, how would it be exuberant enough?!” Hong Dali gave a tit for tat.
The Bureau Chief was completely defeated. “Then tell me, what’s the matter with your Flying Bull basketball team? Those few people became supermen overnight. They almost scared us to death, you know?”
“Oh, those who believe in Dali can live forever, and after they die, they can be revived in the exact same state.” Hong Dali grinned, showing an extremely annoying expression on his face. “They believe in me, so they became supermen…”
“Who would believe you!” The Bureau Chief berated. “Be honest, how did you do that?”
“I can’t say it.” This time, Hong Dali shrugged. “I won’t say even if you beat me to death!”
“Alright.” The Bureau Chief was at a loss of what to do about this most impressive prodigal in history and could only surrender. “I’ll tell you the truth. With reference to the Flying Bull five-member team, we’ve discovered something. Didn’t you say something about lackeys dropping from the sky? It was our doing. We found out that as long as we hypnotized soldiers and asked them to be willing to sacrifice everything for you, including their lives, they would be able to acquire strength, speed, and reflexes that could be said to have reached the limit of humankind. We’re now making this type of super soldiers. I’ve come today also because of this.”
Hong Dali was no fool. Thus, he quickly reacted to what the Bureau Chief had said. “If I didn’t know about this, would it mean that you’d not tell me about it? I’m right, aren’t I?”
“We’re doing this for your own good.” The Bureau Chief helplessly said, “It’s not a good thing for ordinary people to possess powerful abilities, as it’ll easily create various problems. Thus, we were planning not to tell you. These soldiers are currently definitely loyal to the country—of course, you’re ranked first.”
Hong Dali twitched his lips. “And I was thinking about what kind of big deal it was. I’m a prodigal, the biggest prodigal in the world, what would I need those soldiers for?” As he spoke, Hong Dali looked at the Bureau Chief with an expression full of disdain. “Uncle Chief, you helping me to study into those two aviation carriers is the way to go. I’m not the least interested in soldiers.”
“Alright.” Upon hearing what Hong Dali said, the Bureau Chief was finally assured. “I’ll help you talk to those people at Merika regarding the aviation carriers. Anyway, they’re retired carriers, and there aren’t any weapons on them, so they can only be counted as empty shells. There shouldn’t be too much trouble regarding that.” Speaking up to this point, the Bureau Chief asked again, “Are you really sure that you won’t control those soldiers to create trouble?”
“Of course not.” Hong Dali suddenly touched his chin. “But I have a request, heh heh. Uncle Chief, you must promise me!”
“What request?” The Bureau Chief carefully looked at Hong Dali’s expression but didn’t discover anything strange.
Very soon, however, he knew that he was wrong—and ridiculously wrong at that…
Hong Dali said, “I want those new lackeys to be city guards, heh heh. Can the number reach 3,000?”
“Rascal, can you not always be so wasteful of others’ talents?” The Bureau Chief felt that he’d easily be angered to death by talking to Hong Dali. “Super soldiers! We’re talking about super-soldiers! You’re asking them to be city guards? And 3,000 of them?!”
“Yes.” Hong Dali smiled very shamelessly. “Lend me 3,000 city guards, and I can conquer the world…”
“I…” The Bureau Chief fiercely suppressed the urge to bash Hong Dali up. “I really want to beat you to death!”
“As a prodigal,” Hong Dali grinned. “It’s the most basic requirement to be wasteful, heh heh.”
“You’re smiling like a fox.” The Bureau Chief helplessly agreed. “Fine, without you, these super-soldiers would not exist. Anyway, you’re not allowed to use them for anything else. Oh right, are you free tomorrow? About that cave at the underground passageway of New Lanxiang, come with us to take a look tomorrow. See whether you can discover something good.”
