As Zhang Yi put on the necklace, Tang Muxin pulled Ling Xiaoyi aside where there was no one and started a private conversation. “Sister Xiaoyi, why did you give such a precious gemstone to Sister Zhang Yi?”
Ling Xiaoyi was a woman, after all. It was impossible to feel nothing for such a beautiful piece of jewelry. To let someone else have it was weird indeed.
Ling Xiaoyi smiled and looked at Hong Dali lovingly. “Young Master is someone who is capable of doing big things. Zhang Yi is very powerful. Anyway, I don’t have much use for the necklace. I might as well let Zhang Yi have it, she can then stay beside Young Master to help him.” She held Yang Muxin’s hand. “Miss Xinxin, I am Young Master’s lackey. It’s only right for me to think for him. It won’t affect me much. It’s more important to help Young Master earn more reliable people to stay beside him.”
“Sister Xiaoyi,” Tang Muxin hugged Ling Xiaoyi’s arm tightly and said. “You’re really nice. Hehe. Dali is really fortunate to have chosen you!”
“Young Master is a good person, even Heaven will watch over him.” Ling Xiaoyi put her hand Tang Muxin’s shoulder. “He’s kind, brave, smart, generous to his friends. He’s always so bright. If I don’t think for Young Master, I wouldn’t be able to fall asleep at night.”
“Hehe, Dali is such a person.” Tang Muxin giggled and nodded. She looked at Hong Dali fondly. “At first, I really looked down on him. But after spending time with him, I realized he’s a good person. At least he’s lovable.”
Some people might say Tang Muxin liked Hong Dali for his money-making ability. But the real reason why she fell in love with Hong Dali had nothing to do with money at all.
She never asked for anything from Hong Dali. She was not materialistic and never asked for anything from Dali. On the contrary, if someone bullied Hong Dali, Tang Muxin was the first to stand up for him.
She might have one or two weaknesses. But nobody was perfect, right?
“Yes, the most charming thing about the Young Master is his character.” Ling Xiaoyi suddenly said, “But Miss Xinxin, when are you getting married to Young Master?”
“Ah?” Hearing that, Tang Muxin lowered her head shyly. “I’m still young, just eighteen this year. Why would I get married so young…” Her entire face and neck were red with embarrassment—of course, they were all wearing the Mechanical Holy Garment, others couldn’t see.
While Ling Xiaoyi and Tang Muxin were having a private conversation with each other, Hong Dali suddenly heard a “ding” sound from the System—
“One person added to the Host’s family and friends.”
One person added to the Host’s family and friends? What situation was that?
He quickly opened the System interface and opened the option for family and friends. Hong Dali was instantly shocked by what he saw. “Zhang Yi?!”
Right before his eyes was an introduction of Zerg Queen Zhang Yi. “Zhang Yi, nicknamed Zerg Queen. Strength: 685, Agility: 636, Reflexes: 597. True combat race, possible to evolve.”
Damn. That works as well? Just one necklace and she became his family and friends? Look at those attributes…
Hong Dali subconsciously looked at Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi was staring at the fire gemstone necklace on her chest. “Aiya, this necklace is really beautiful, Young Master is too generous. This is such a beauty. I’ve never seen anything like it…”
You are the Zerg Queen ah, why were you so easily bought over…
Anyway, it was a good thing to have one more person added to the family and friends. At that moment, Running Dog’s voice came through the Mechanical Holy Garment. “Young Master, Mr. Bureau Chief is here. When will you return?”
The Bureau Chief is here? Did that mean Granzon and Adamantine are here as well? That is a big matter!
“Right now!” He was done looking around anyway. There was nothing else worth his attention.
While it was no problem to return, transporting the huge energy stone would be an issue—that was a stone that weighed a hundred tons. There was no way Hong Dali and the others could move it.
“Young Master, how do we move this energy stone back?” Lackey Li Yang looked at the energy stone and gulped. “It’s too big, I’m afraid I won’t be able to move it.”
“Nonsense,” Hong Dali said discourteously. “As if it’d be possible for you to move it. Let me think of a way.”
Zerg Queen carefully kept the necklace that Hong Dali gave her. She naturally had to prove herself useful after receiving such an expensive gift. She looked left and right, then said, “Young Master Dali, should I try?”
En, a human-form Tyrannosaurus with a strength of 685 could try…
The lackeys moved six boxes of antiques and jewelry, leaving an empty ship. Zhang Yi stood on the corner of the ship and chanted. “Strength Outburst!”
As she exerted her strength, the ship on top of the energy stone spun away like a top…
Spin away, sunken ship!
The ship spun more than ten times, before finally slamming against a rock. The ship had become brittle over the years and instantly broke into pieces…
Hong Dali: “…” Li Nianwei: “…” Lin Chuyin: “…” Tang Muxin: “…” Ling Xiaoyi: “…” Others: “…”
Damn, that was too fierce! Human-form Tyrannosaurus lived up to her name!
Even the great white shark Xiao Bai and the big dolphin looked at Zhang Yi in fear—this small creature could amass so much strength…
The thing was, the ship was made of wood and iron sheet. It didn’t weigh much even in the water. But the energy stone would be no easy feat—no matter how much strength Zhang Yi used, the stone didn’t budge at all!
Even with Ling Xiaoyi and the other lackeys’ help, nothing could be done.
It was a rock that weighed a hundred tons, after all. It was not so simple.
“Young Master Dali,” Zhang Yi said despondently. “I’m useless, I can’t even move this big stone…”
“It’s okay, it’s okay.” Hong Dali quickly comforted her. “It’d be ridiculous if you could move it. It’s probably only possible for non-humans… aye? Non-humans?”
Saying that, he suddenly had an idea. He looked towards the big dolphin who was playing with the great white shark. “I got it. Haha! Big dolphin, help me get some help, quick! It must be strong, as big as possible!”
Hearing that, the big dolphin flipped up and down in the water, looking like it agreed, before swimming away.
“Young Master, this…” Li Nianwei asked curiously. “Looking for help? Are there such strong animals around here?”
“Uh, if it’s the Giant Squid, it might be possible,” Lin Chuyin calmly said. “That would depend on whether we can find one.”
“Wow, Giant Squid!” Tang Muxin exclaimed. “Is it the kind of deep-sea monster that appears in many thriller disaster films?”
“Something like that.” Lin Chuyin nodded. “The size of the Giant Squid is still a mystery. Some scientists have measured a 17-meter Giant Squid with suction cups of a 9.5-centimeter diameter. Some others found suction cups with a diameter of more than 40 centimeters from a captured sperm whale. If according to proportion, the Giant Squid that fought with this sperm whale may be more than 68 meters in length.”
“A Giant Squid 68 meters long!” Everyone was shocked. What kind of situation was that? As long as a fifteen-story building…
“Uh, of course.” Lin Chuyin continued, “Such a large suction cup could also be left when the sperm whale was small. It grew larger as the sperm whale grows up. So it is still not certain if there is such a huge Giant Squid. But Hong Dali asked the big dolphin to find…”
Li Nianwei smiled at the conclusion. “If Young Master is the one who is looking for one, it’ll be hard to predict how big it will be.”
Soon, everyone knew what kind of helper Hong Dali had asked the big dolphin to find…
It was all dark underwater and they could hardly see. But everyone suddenly felt cold as they saw something weird.
It was a huge cylindrical object about two meters in diameter. Because it was underwater, its color could not be seen clearly. But from the huge current that it brought up, it could be inferred that this thing was certainly not small.
Then, everyone was shocked.
They saw a large eye, three meters in diameter. They could see it staring at them.
“This… this is…” Even Zerg Queen Zhang Yi was stunned. “It’s a Giant Squid! It’s a real Giant Squid! Even its eye is so big, its body…”
“Wahahahaha! This is big enough, I like it!” Hong Dali laughed excitedly. He decisively connected to its soul! Soon, everyone heard the Giant Squid’s voice. “Hello, do you need my help? Hey, this little shark looks delicious…”
Little shark? Are there little sharks around here?
Everyone soon knew what the Giant Squid was referring to—the great white shark Xiao Bai quickly darted behind Hong Dali.
Obviously, compared to the Giant Squid, the great white shark Xiao Bai was a little small…
It was a good thing Hong Dali could connect to animals’ souls. It was much easier to communicate with the Giant Squid—Hong Dali swam to the Giant Squid’s side and took out a Dali bean to feed it. “Eat one. This is a good thing, it’s very expensive!”
