Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal Chapter 1047 - Why Am I So Happy?

Chapter 1047: Why Am I So Happy?

They soon reached the 30th floor. This was indeed a good place for treasure gambling. The entire floor was filled with shops that were about 200 square meters in size. The shops were full of various equipment and items. There were even some ancient texts. Just a casual glance around the shop would tell you that any equipment and items here were definitely not too bad.
However, there were few people to be seen on this floor that should have been bustling. Hong Dali’s idea to treat everyone to lunch in the building was indeed good. The surroundings were at least quiet…
“We’re here. This is it.” Bei Yuanqing and Zhu Ningyu led Hong Dali and his group to the 30th floor. Zhu Ningyu chuckled and said, “The items here are all found on the battlefield and not been identified yet. So, the good stuff definitely has not been filtered out yet. Whether you manage to buy something good or not will depend totally on your luck. If your luck is good, you might buy something worth tens of millions for tens of thousands, but that rarely happens. If your luck is bad, you might end up with a pile of rubbish after paying tens of millions. This is more likely to happen. So, if you want to squander, this is the best place to do it.”
“Battlefield? What battlefield?” Hong Dali wondered. To be honest, he had seen almost everything in this universe, and this was the first time he had heard of this battlefield.
“Our Shenglong Astral is not on very good terms with our neighbor Yuntu Astral. Small-scale wars often break out.” Hua Xiangyu explained to Hong Dali. “The inhabitants of Yuntu Astral are very war-like and often breach our borders to pillage. There have been numerous skirmishes and both sides have been fighting each other for hundreds of thousands of years. Anyway, I heard that war is pretty cruel.”
Hearing that, Hong Dali understood immediately.
Simply put, the universe was infinite. Before transmigrating, Hong Dali already knew that more than 100 million galaxies had been observed in the universe. Shenglong Astral was just one of the larger space nations. There were probably numerous space nations like it. It was normal for them to disagree with each other. How big were the countries on Earth before? Even there, there existed International Police like Merika, what more in the Astral States in the universe?
“Yes, yes. I understand.” Hong Dali nodded. “Aiyaya, anyway, I’m just a little prodigal. I won’t bother with those.” Hong Dali looked at the few shops around him. “That, ah. So, I can just buy things in the shops by paying for them?”
“Something like that.” Bei Yuanqing waited to watch the show. “Just pay for whatever catches your fancy.”
“Okay, I get it.” Hong Dali brought everyone with him and started shopping around the floor. Soon, they stopped in front of a treasure gambling shop. The boss immediately approached them, smiling. “Respected guests, what can I do for you?”
“Ah, we’re just looking around.” Hong Dali randomly picked up a small dagger. “This dagger looks good.” It was a medium-sized dagger about two feet long. The scabbard looked dirty and it was enveloped in a faint red glow. Hua Xiangyu whispered to Hong Dali, “This glow means that the item was immediately sealed after being found on the battlefield. No one has appraised it yet. The color of the light when it was sealed represents the level of the item. You can only remove the seal after you buy the item, and you cannot return the item after you have unsealed it. A red glow represents excellent quality, orange is superior, yellow is rare, green is epic, cyan is splendid, blue is legendary, and purple is godly. The higher the level of an item, the more expensive it is.”
Hong Dali’s eyes suddenly lit up. Ah, this was like an item appraisal game. Buy a lot of them, and then appraise them one by one. If you happen to find something good, that would feel so good, wouldn’t it?
The Shenglong Royalty were quite good with games. They even thought of something like that…
Hua Xiangyu continued to explain, “There is also a type of item that has a white glow. It means that they were unable to determine the level and only the user will know what its attributes are. This type is generally the most expensive. The starting price is one million.”
Damn, there was even something like that, wow!
“Boss, how much is this?” Hong Dali started buying items. He waved the dagger at the boss to check its price.
“One hundred dollars,” replied the boss respectfully.
“Five hundred, round it off.” Hong Dali threw the dagger directly to Li Yang and picked up a red-sealed ring. “How much is this?”
“It’s also a hundred.” The boss was sweating profusely. What does it mean if he asked for 100 and was offered 500 to round the figure off?
“Five hundred, round it off.” Hong Dali continued to take more things. “How much is this green bracelet?” The red light was excellent, the green light was epic. There was quite a big difference between their levels.
“Five… Five thousand!” The shop owner’s sweat began to flow like a waterfall.
“Ten thousand.” Hong Dali looked around. “Forget it. You can just calculate how much everything in your shop is worth. I’ll take them all. It’s too much trouble to do it one by one…”
Hua Xiangyu, Bei Yuanqing, and Zhu Ningyu were dumbstruck, and their mouths gaped so widely you could almost stuff a duck egg inside—who bought stuff like that?! Even if you were a prodigal, even if you had a lot of money, you don’t spend it like this, right?
Tang Muxin and the others simply laughed. It was no longer strange to them. They were used to it. This was how Young Master bought things, it felt good!
Most of the equipment in this shop was very cheap, between a hundred and several thousand. There were a few which were worth tens of thousands. After all, most of them were relatively low-grade items that were just there to bulk up the number of items for sale. The really good ones were those that cost more than tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands. Those should be of better quality.
Now, Hong Dali had already figured out the price of these items. It was very simple actually. Excellent quality, red glow, 100 dollars. Orange, superior, 500. Yellow glow, rare, 2,000. Green glow, epic, 5,000. Cyan glow, splendid, 50,000. Blue glow, legendary, 150,000. Purple glow, godly, 500,000. White, unidentified, 1,000,000.
So, after the tally, there were more than 300 pieces of red, 200 pieces of orange, 100 pieces of yellow, more than 50 pieces of green, 20 pieces of cyan, 9 pieces of blue, 4 pieces of purple, and 1 piece of white.
It came up to a total of more than six million. Hong Dali paid eight million for it because it was a more auspicious number.
Hua Xiangyu sighed under her breath as she watched him. Hong Dali did not use money like it was money. He gave away another two million just like that…
“Okay, let’s start the appraisal now!” Hong Dali happily found a place to sit down, and then threw away all the red, orange, yellow, and green packages. “I won’t appraise these pieces of rubbish. If you want to, you can take them and appraise them for fun. Let’s just appraise the high-level items!”
If you thought that they were a waste of time, why did you buy them? Isn’t money, money?!
Of course, Hong Dali did not care about those. You had something to say about it? It’s useless even if you did have opinions. He’s rich and capricious!
So, he began to appraise the items.
Hong Dali picked up a blue legendary package and looked at Hua Xiangyu. “Sister Xiangyu, how can this be identified?” Well, this was the first time Hong Dali was playing this, and he really was not quite sure how to go about it.
“See this little device here?” Hua Xiangyu pointed to a small button on the equipment. “Just remove it.”
So simple! Hong Dali was very satisfied with this very simple method. What he hated most were troublesome things. So, he removed the small button. A faint light flashed and all the mud and grime on the surface of the equipment disappeared. What was really inside was a light blue ring.
The ring was engraved with a strange pattern, and it was heavy in his hands. It was made of an unknown material.
Everyone had thought that this was something good. Bei Yuanqing looked at it and suddenly burst out laughing. “Hahahaha, congratulations, this is a useless ring which increases Strength by 60 points. If you put it on the market, it should be able to sell for 70,000 or 80,000, hahaha!”
When Bei Yuanqing said that, Hong Dali understood how the game was played.
For example, using this ring as an example, its selling price was about 80,000 Shenglong Dollars. It was indeed legendary equipment, but it was also the most inferior kind and worth nothing.
If one managed to identify a top-grade one, and it was also legendary, it could sell for 800,000. They would make a huge profit.
“Oh, it looks so ordinary.” Hong Dali indifferently threw the ring directly to Xiaoyi. “I’ll give it to you. Wear it first, and change it later if you have a better one.”
Ling Xiaoyi nodded and smiled. “Thank you, Young Master.”
She wouldn’t bother about the quality of the item now. Young Master gave it to her. Hence, she would accept it regardless.
The next one was a legendary sword. The button was removed, and soon the attributes could be seen. This time, Bei Yuanqing curled his lips. “Mediocre. Titan long sword which adds 50 to Agility. Market price 120,000.”
Well, he lost another 30,000.
The next few items were basically worthless little things. Some of them could be worth 200,000 or more, and the garbage was worth only about 60,000 or 70,000. Bei Yuanqing was ecstatic. Gloating at the expense of others’ misfortune felt really good, and he was finally less depressed.
The legendary blue items could only be regarded as appetizers. Only the purple-colored ones were considered heavyweight.
As Hong Dali picked up a purple bracelet, Tang Muxin and the others held their breaths.
Young Master was notorious for having good luck. What attributes would this purple godly item have??
“Sister Nianwei,” Tang Muxin whispered to Li Nianwei, “what kind of attributes do you think this bracelet has? It’s a godly-level item. Eh, it should not be bad?”
“It should be.” Li Nianwei nodded slightly, and said, “The things that Young Master buys are generally not bad…”
Soon after that, Tang Muxin found out that she was a little too optimistic…
When Hong Dali took the button off, Bei Yuanqing was elated. “The trashiest magic-scale bracelet among godly artifacts, hahahaha! This piece of junk only adds 100 Agility and 100 Strength, and its market price is only 180,000. Hahaha, you’re going to make a big loss this time!”
“Bah, you haven’t been around much.” Hong Dali curled his lips. “It’s only a loss of about 300,000, and you’re so happy about it.”
“What do you mean about 300,000?” Bei Yuanqing cried excitedly. “It’s 320,000! 320,000! Hahahaha! I know you are rich, but why am I so happy to see you make a loss? Why?”
