Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal - Chapter 1099

Chapter 1099: Unsealing Convention

Since everything was settled now, they went off to look at the villas.

The villa was on the edge of an artificial lake in the community, with a classy environment and a full range of facilities. Especially the turquoise green grass, just looking at it made one feel comfortable.

“This place is so-so.” Gu Feifei looked around and appeared satisfied. “It’s not bad to stay here temporarily. But, it’s not spacious enough. It won’t be easy to train.”

En, not easy, indeed. Such a small area, if she displayed her skills, there would no need for demolishment workers.

“Aiya, high-end places are really different.” Although Han Songyang’s house was better than this villa, everyone loved to hear nice things. He naturally would not go against the flow. “The garden by the lake is quite clean. When the weather gets better in a few days’ time, you can enjoy the sun by the lake. It will definitely be very enjoyable. Especially this swimming pool. En, with a few beautiful ladies in the pool, I’m drooling already.”

“You,” Fang Ziying got jealous. “you’re not allowed to let your imagination run wild!”

Gu Feifei raised her brow at Hong Dali—when you buy the house, you can accompany your wives every day!

Hong Dali raised his brow too—Squandering is my real job. Don’t underestimate me!

En, the two exchanged glances for a while. The surrounding people’s hair stood at ends. Han Songyang instinctively thought Hong Dali was the kind with a special aesthetic point of view. He shuddered and decided to retreat. “Hehe, since we’ve seen the place, Dali, how about you rest first? I’ll gather a few friends to throw you a welcome dinner tonight.”

“Let’s take a raincheck. I’m a little tired.” Hong Dali shook his head. “Tomorrow… En, the day after. I have something on tomorrow. Let’s have dinner the day after tomorrow. Oh right.” Hong Dali looked at the manager. “I’m not at home tomorrow. Get ready for the reconstruction.”

The manager nodded with all her might. “No problem! I’ll contact the necessary people tonight.” En, it was easy to get things done, indeed…

Then, he gave Xiaoyu his number. Everyone soon dispersed, leaving Hong Dali and Gu Feifei alone. Gu Feifei stretched lazily. “Alright, we have fun the whole day, it’s time to rest. When are we going back? You’re going back tomorrow to open the equipment, right?”

“En, yes.” The matters here would end temporarily. Hong Dali nodded. “Let’s go back. Go back and sleep. I’m tired too. We’ve been running all over today…”

He opened the Dimension Door and returned to the Divine College to sleep!

…

Shenglong Star, Tianyuan City.

Countless people headed to the biggest arena in Tianyuan City.

“Hurry up, let’s go. I heard there are hundreds of thousands of pieces of equipment. It’s all displayed in the arena.”

“I heard that too. The prodigal from the Hong Family is going to open all the treasure gambling equipment in the entire city. I heard he is quite lucky. How can we miss such a fun activity?”

“Isn’t that so. I heard this prodigal is very generous. He might even sell top-grade equipment directly.”

“Yes, yes, yes. We need to go take a look!”

Just like this, people began pouring into the arena from 2 PM onwards. At this time, the entire four-square-kilometer area of the arena was almost full of people. Similarly, people from all major families were seated in the VIP rooms as they waited for the show to begin. As to what ideas these people had, it would probably be different.

In a VIP room on the east of the arena.

Ye Wuyou from the Ye Family, a large family in the Shenglong Royal Family, sat on the sofa, looking at the unopened equipment piled up. He pondered as he touched his chin. He wore a low-key and unassuming ordinary long robe and had his black hair combed back, looking rather imposing with his thoughtful eyes.

In fact, his strength was infinitely close to that of the chiefs of the top three families. What was lacking now was an opportunity. An opportunity that allowed him to succeed in the ranks. It was extremely important to choose the right side to stand on.

“Master,” a guard entered the room and said respectfully, “the attendants of the Bei and Zhu families have been waiting for two hours. Master, do you think…”

“Anyway, ask them to rest first.” Ye Wuyou waved gently. “Tell them I’ll give my reply tonight.”

“Yes.” The guard retreated.

When the room was empty, Ye Wuyou touched his chin and pondered. “What the hell is this Hong Dali from the Hong Family doing? He actually intends to reveal so much equipment at once? It’s true that the Hong Family is not short of money. But the question is, what’s the point of doing this?”

Ye Wuyou could not make out what Hong Dali was thinking. He thought for a while, then shook his head. “Wait and see.”

…

There were more than ten family heads of large families like Ye Wuyou within the arena. None of them could make out what Hong Dali was thinking.

However, some had already decided which side to stand on. It was much simpler.

For example, the family head of the Liu Family.

“Old Liu ah,” Bei Mingxuan looked at the family head of the Liu Family, Liu Mingyi, and smiled. “That idiot Hong Dali has always been lucky. I feel that there’s a great probability that he will get top-grade equipment today. Help me bid for it then. I’ll transfer the money to your card later tonight.”

The family head of the Liu Family, Liu Mingyi, nodded. “I understand. Don’t let the Hong Family get it, right? Don’t worry. Just let me know what you need. I will win the bid for sure.”

“En, that’s right.” Bei Mingxuan said slowly, “The battle 3 months from now is the real deal. In the past two days, all the industries belonging to the cowardly Hong Family have been heavily guarded. There’s absolutely no chance to disrupt their rhythm. Only the idiot Hong Dali can wander around and show his face occasionally.”

“Speaking of which,” Liu Mingyi asked creepily, “Hong Dali is not in the Divine College today. You didn’t grab the chance to find a few people to get rid of him?”

“It’s not easy.” Bei Mingxuan shook his head. “Hong Dali is Hong Xingyu and Hua Yueling’s little precious. How is it possible that there is no one protecting him while he’s outside? Besides, this is not the right time to take action.”

“That’s a pity.” Liu Mingyi sighed.

“Don’t worry, there’ll be a chance.” Bei Mingxuan smiled. “Anyway, it’s almost time for the students of the Divine Colleague to go for their outing experience. Old Zhu and I have made the necessary arrangements. Once this rascal leaves Shenglong Star, I assure you he will die of a tragic death!”

“Hahaha. That’s the best.” Liu Mingyi nodded. “Once this rascal dies, Hong Xingyu and Hua Yueling are sure to go berserk. At that time, if anything goes wrong with the old man Hong Xingyu’s fusion martial arts, the fight might not even take place.”

“Of course, hehe.” Bei Mingxuan laughed as he stood up. “Alright, I’ll go to the other families.”

Liu Mingyi stood up to send him to the door. “The other families should be no problem, right?”

“Currently, most of them are on our side.” Bei Mingxuan spoke as he walked. “Only that stubborn old fool Ye Wuyou from the Ye Family refused to give us any face. Humph, when we win the battle, I will definitely get rid of them for good!”

“You should!” Liu Mingyi agreed. “He has been an eyesore. When the opportunity arises, count me in.”

“Definitely.”

…

While a hidden storm stirred in the arena, Hong Dali leisurely sat on the biggest stand in the arena with his lackeys, waiting for the time—the starting time was at 3 PM. It was the exact same time the stock market stopped trading for the day.

“Aiya, the stock market is really fun.” Hong Dali looked at the System panel. “It’s falling again. Tens of millions at once. Not bad, not bad!”

This was the effect he was after.

This was like holding a regular job. There was a fixed income on a daily basis. Except it was very different for Hong Dali. He had a bunch of attribute points every day…

“Dali.” Tang Muxin sat on the edge of the sofa and had her hands around Hong Dali’s arm. She asked, “You can enjoy revealing all the equipment today. It’s estimated that these pieces of equipment can be opened today. What are you going to do after you finish them? Sell them?”

“Throw the rubbish away directly. Give them to anyone who wants them.” Hong Dali touched his chin. “Set the bidding price for the top-grade equipment from one dollar. Sell them for whatever price. It’s no use keeping them, anyway.”

“Ah? You’re not showing them to your great-grandfather?” Tang Muxin was slightly shocked. “Great-grandfather is in need of equipment now…”

“I have my ways.” Hong Dali raised his brow.

Tang Muxin knew he was up to something when she saw his expression. She giggled and stopped asking—heaven’s secrets must not be divulged.

The time passed quickly. Soon, Big Sister Gu Feifei ran over hurriedly and sat beside Hong Dali. “Okay, I’m here. The results are good today. The stocks went up.”

“Hahaha, congratulations.” Hong Dali tapped on Gu Feifei’s arm once—he had wanted to pat her shoulder, but Gu Feifei was too muscular… Hong Dali said, “Remember to give us a treat.”

“No problem.” Gu Feifei nodded in agreement. “When does it start?”

“We’re just waiting for you.” Hong Dali snapped his fingers and an attendant of the arena walked over. “Young Master Dali, what can I do for you? Can we start now?”

“En, yes.” Hong Dali asked, “Have the bills been settled?”

“All settled. Miss Xiaoyi settled them this morning.” The attendant replied, “That’s 6.38 billion.”

En, not bad, not bad. That’s more like it.

Hong Dali nodded, satisfied. “Alright, since the bill has been settled, let’s begin.”

“Yes.” The attendant ran out. Soon, the host standing on a floating disk in the middle of the arena announced loudly. “Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen! According to Young Master Hong Dali’s instructions, the equipment revelation session will begin soon! The first procedure of the competition is as follows—the gongs and cymbals are clashing and the firecrackers are crackling!”

En, this was based on the customs on the Earth, according to Hong Dali. Whenever there was a major event, the din of clashing gongs and cymbals and crackling firecrackers could be heard…

The entire arena could hear the sounds from hitting the gongs “DUANG! DUANG!” The firecrackers were lit up at the same time “Pop, crackle!”—a magnificent sight!

Everyone stood up and applauded so loudly the ground shook.

This was the effect he was after.
