Chapter 574: Hidden TaskTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
System: “The Host made an outstanding contribution to charity, truly willing to do charity and like charity. Therefore, the Host received the love of many people, receiving from them the power of faith. A hidden task is triggered.”
Hong Dali heard on in bewilderment—he had never expected that the System actually said that he triggered a hidden task!
Doing charity could actually trigger a hidden task!? What situation is this!?
“Hidden Task: Charitable Big Prodigal (Not upgradeable). Mission Requirement: Do charity out of sincere intentions. Current Progress: None. Mission Reward: Every 100 million donated to charity can be exchanged for one year of extra life. Addition explanation one: The life exchanged is not limited to be used on the Host alone. Addition explanation two: During the duration of the life exchanged from the System, the person’s physiological state will stay the same.”
What the heck! Donating money to charity still can trigger such a mission!?
Donate 100 million to exchange for one year of life! According to the System’s explanation, that means if for example 30 years old is one physiological state, 35 years old is another physiological state. But if he exchanged five years of life, then at 35 years old, the physiological state will be the same as 31 years old!
This effect is awesome! Prolong life! Who doesn’t wants to live for another few more years!?
Hong Dali hurriedly looked at his attribute interface. As expected, under the System’s menu, there was a new option—life!
He hurriedly opened it and saw that there wasn’t any attribute point in there yet, but he could choose the person to add life to. Currently, he could only choose himself, his parents, Tang Muxin, Li Nianwei, Lin Chuyin, and his nine lackeys. These were all his most loyal supporters.
Yup, I shan’t care too much now. I am only just 18 this year, I still have room to grow for a few more years, so there’s no rush. After I have attribute points for “Life”, I shall add them to Dad and Mum first!
Oh my, no present is better than health, no attribute is better than “Life”. This is practically the best combination!
Once I think about adding life to Dad and Mum, I feel so comfortable, brouhaha!
“Young Master Dali, Young Master Dali?” Wu Guangrong softly poked Hong Dali. “What’s wrong? You seemed to be in a daze just now, do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?”
“Ah, no no, that’s not it, I feel too comfortable right now!” Hong Dali grinned and said, “Uncle Wu, let’s research more on how to go about doing this charity, hehe.”
…
Door to Heaven, 99th floor, International Convention Center.
Everyone looked at Running Dog with eager eyes, waiting for him to tell them more about the development of Hong Dali’s game industry.
They had no choice but to admit that Hong Dali was indeed good at playing and also imagining.
Holographic Simulation Projection Game Machine, according to Running Dog, if this thing could be mass-produced, it would cost 500 to 600 each—one must know that for whatever item, if they minus the tax and profit needed, just based on the cost of production alone, it wouldn’t be very expensive.
For example, cars. A car for a sale price of 80,000, if we minus tax and profit, the cost of production would only be about 20,000 plus.
Hong Dali always squandered. To him, making a profit or not was never important—after all, even if he didn’t want to earn, money would still fly into his hands. This was someone everyone here at the Chamber of Commerce knew, he was practically the God of Fortune reincarnated. Invincible!
If they expanded on the use of this Holographic Simulation Projection Game Machine they could use it for educational purposes. As long as they developed the related software and videos. Currently, there were already 15 million-plus gamers online at the same time on Dream Dota League. If they added those other small parts and pieces…
It would be totally incredible!
But an industry with such good prospects, Hong Dali actually wasn’t earning money from it! Not earning money from it! What a waste of resources!
“Running Dog, can you think of a way to let Young Master Dali invest a bit in this project also?” Someone whose business service was related to the gaming industry anxiously asked. “Even letting a hero from Dream Dota League endorse our products is fine, too!”
“Exactly, such a good gaming business shouldn’t be wasted like this!”
These people asked Running Dog to ask Hong Dali. Of course, the brighter people directly looked for Hong Weiguo. “Director Hong, why don’t you help us ask? This is a very big cake. If we can’t have a piece of it, I reckon everyone here won’t be able to sleep well tonight!”
“At least open up part of it. Even if the game itself is free, can’t you ask him to just let the heroes endorse products for us or something?”
It wasn’t an overstatement to say in the hearts of the young generation, the popularity of these heroes definitely wasn’t lower than the celebrities, or even more. Especially those characters with high popularity, although they couldn’t be compared to Li Nianwei, they had around the same popularity as Tai Yajing.
The most crucial thing was that this one was easy to manipulate, the advertisement they made with these heroes would be quite beautiful, too.
Currently, Hong Weiguo was still immersed in the shocking news he just heard. This prodigal son of his had already amassed such a large resource? He didn’t really keep a tab on this game previously, its development had actually grown to such an extent?
Only until he heard the commotion from the others did he suddenly wake up and said, “Huh? I decide? No, I can’t! I have already decided on my own without asking him to sell the animals, how can I do that again? My Dali has his own decision-making power, I can’t make unauthorized decisions for him, that will destroy his creativity. Definitely not!”
What you will be destroying is his squandering power, Dali’s dad!
But whatever the case, once Hong Weiguo said this, everyone sighed in disappointment. What a waste!
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Running Dog suddenly paused for a while. Then, he changed his tone into that of the auctioneer that he had used previously!
Running Dog used a very shocked and very excited tone and loudly said, “Ladies and gentlemen, there’s a piece of recent news regarding Young Master’s decision! Young Master has decided to donate his entire gaming enterprise for our Heavenly State’s medical charity!”
Donate againnnnn!? The entire gaming enterprise!?
The Dream Dota League that had 15 million players online at the same time, plus the future Holographic Simulation Projection Game Machine and holographic game helmet, all donated!?
“Weiguo, did I hear correctly?” Liu Yihui’s eyes widened. “Your Dali is donating again? This isn’t squandering anymore, this is just throwing money away!”
“That’s right.” Mu Tie was shocked as well. “If we keep the gaming enterprise in our hand, we will definitely be able to earn money from it in the future, but he’s going to donate all of it now?”
But Hong Weiguo didn’t say anything, just that his face had an extremely proud expression on it. He smiled, nodded, and said, “Good, this little rascal, his heart is indeed kind. Good! He’s indeed my son. Such a resolution! Such thinking! Daring to do what others dare not! To let every human remember you, you must go against the whole world! Haha, I support him! I definitely must support him!”
To be honest, he wasn’t surprised at all.
Hong Dali was able to donate 700 million to protect animals, then, he definitely wouldn’t mind donating a few more hundreds of millions to the medical sector. It was for charity, after all. Since he had the money and the heart, then just let him do it, there wasn’t any need to hesitate!
Since he liked it, just let him do it!
As the three of them were softly discussing, the other people were all stunned!
That was the entire gaming enterprise. Just speaking of Dream Dota League that had 15 million players online at the same time, how much was that worth? Not to mention the future Holographic Simulation Projection Game Machine which would probably be even more popular.
Of course, the most crucial thing was that since he donated the entire gaming enterprise, didn’t that mean that they could auction for the endorsement rights of the heroes now!? This was definitely good news from the Heavens!
They all cheered and said, “Mr. Running Dog, is Young Master Dali planning to sell the copyright? Then let’s start!”
“OK, as you wish.” Running Dog gentlemanly bowed and said, “Everyone, I am the auctioneer for this time’s Dream Dota League’s heroes endorsement rights, Running Dog. We shall start with the first item immediately!”
Saying so, he projected a very beautiful hero, the cute little girl Annie, and said, “Then, let’s begin! The first hero is the girl that sells bears, Annie!”
…
Tianhai Military Headquarters, large conference room.
The Bureau Chief looked at the video transmitted to them by Running Dog and said, shocked, “That little rascal Hong Dali is actually planning to donate his entire gaming enterprise!? This… This…
“To be honest, I don’t know what he is thinking. This little rascal’s way of thinking is always very weird.” The Bureau Chief fiercely rubbed his temple and said, “To be honest, I sense a conspiracy, and a very big one at that!”
The other people: “Don’t speak of this anymore, my heart is already getting big from seeing what this kid did these two days. I keep feeling that my brain can’t keep put with him, his ideas are too random, who can tolerate that!”
“This little rascal.” The Bureau Chief touched his forehead and asked, “How much money is it so far?”
“586,000,000.” The clerk looked at the tabulation. “And there are still 12 heroes not sold yet.”
“Why is there so much money?” The others asked, “The endorsement fee for the heroes shouldn’t be so expensive, right?”
The Bureau Chief explained, “This is probably to maintain a close relationship with the Hong Family. After all, Hong Dali’s gaming enterprise isn’t only this Dream Dota League.” He thought for a while and said, “But this is another 700 to 800 million being donated, I need to ask Wu Guangrong what’s going on over there.”
Saying so, he went out and called Wu Guangrong. The call quickly got through and the Bureau Chief softly asked, “Old Wu, what’s going on over there? Why did Hong Dali donate his gaming enterprise? He is throwing money away! Hong Weiguo is still waiting to amass 10 billion to return to the Chamber of Commerce! Even if Hong Dali wants to squander, he should wait a bit!”
“Young Master Dali says that this is spending money to amass moral qualities.” Wu Guangrong’s voice seemed very weird. He said, “Young Master Dali ideas are always so random and strange, but this is a good thing, I think we should support him.”
“Of course we will support him.” The Bureau Chief smiled and said, “I am just curious, why did he suddenly have this idea?”
