“Hey, dude, do you want a drink?” In an ordinary residential estate, Snow held a glass of beer and smilingly said to Harris who was pacing back and forth in the room. “Look at how anxious you are. With Lucifer backing us, you don’t need to be so scared, right?”

“I was just acting outside just now.” Harris was obviously still afraid. “That’s 20,000 dollars, my salary for two months. If I lose it, how would I explain it to my wife?”

“You definitely won’t make any losses.” Snow drank a mouthful of beer. “Just wait for the good show.”

On the television screen currently was the live broadcast of the horse racing event that they had placed their bets on. The horse racing hadn’t started yet. The anchor was currently explaining the details about the sixteen horses for this race. Now it was exactly that “Silver Knight” that was being introduced. From the information shown, it could be seen that the winning percentage of this horse had already reached 58%. It was a white, tall and large British purebred horse. The anchor spent more than one minute introducing it. Next, it was “Golden Rose.” The winning percentage was also as high as 35%. When he got to Flying Snow and Wolf God who often ranked third and forth, the anchor introduced them with just one sentence.

Harris took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. He then tossed another one towards Snow.

The two of them lit the cigarette and started smoking.

Very soon, following the sound of a gunshot, the 16 horses charged forward fiercely. “Silver Knight” really lived up to its title as the strongest horse. Without giving any chances to the others, it ran in the front and took the lead. The horse behind was, as expected, “Golden Rose.” When Harris saw Flying Snow and Wolf God that were often placed third and forth, he choked violently on his cigarette smoke. These two horses now were not even in the third or fourth places, they were far behind, below the 10th place. They had lagged behind by 50 to 60 meters after running just half the round!

“This… this…” Harris stared with extremely wide eyes. “This is really OK?”

“Should… Should be…” Snow was stunned as well. “Why are these two brats performing so badly?!”

In the later part of the competition, the situation underwent an enormous change. Flying Snow and Wolf God slowly started to exert themselves more, and after two rounds, they had actually advanced to the seventh and eighth positions!

“As expected! As expected!” Snow fiercely slapped his thigh. “There’s a chance! There’s a chance!”

Harris despondently said, “No matter what, they won’t be able to overtake those two in front…”

While he was speaking, Flying Snow and Wolf God caught up with another one again and became the sixth and seventh. However, very soon, they lagged behind again and became the seventh and eighth…

In the first few rounds, the performance of these two horses was still not too bad. They would suddenly overtake other horses, sometimes they were overtaken by the other horses as well, and when there were three rounds left, the two horses had already reached the fourth and fifth positions.

During the last two rounds, Flying Snow and Wolf God actually started to greatly exert their strengths and started to chase after the others all the way, getting closer and closer to the horse in the third place!

But even then, everyone in the racecourse still didn’t pay much attention to these two horses. Everyone’s attention was focused on Silver Knight in the first place and Golden Rose in the second place.

During the second to last round, Flying Snow and Wolf God successfully overtook the original third in place and became third and forth. However, by then, it was only 200 meters away from the finishing line, and win or lose had pretty much been determined.

Harris’ forehead brimmed with sweat, and Snow also stared without even daring to blink his eyes.

During the last 100 meters, something dramatic happened.

While Silver Knight was only 50 meters away from the finishing line, it suddenly twisted its leg and fell to the ground!

Totally unexpected!

The horse which was almost certain to be the champion had actually fallen!

Shouts of surprise came out from the audience seats. And it wasn’t finished yet. Just when everyone thought that Golden Rose would be the champion, something more dramatic happened—Golden Rose fell down too!

This time, people stopped laughing. Because almost everyone present had betted on these two horses…

Alas, as expected, the competition ended with Flying Snow coming in as first place and Wolf God coming in as second place!

“Long live Lucifer!” Harris instantly stood up and shouted at the top of his lungs. “We’ve won! We’ve won!”

Snow heaved out a long sigh of relief and muttered, “I knew it, Lucifer’s words will definitely not be wrong!”

…

While there was an undercurrent of tension at Merika, Hong Dali still happily squandered every day. Meanwhile, Mu Yuxi and Catherine who were by Hong Dali’s side each had their own tasks. The appearance of Catherine itself was already very strange. However, what was stranger was how Hong Dali didn’t seem to show any signs of annoyance upon her arrival. Thus, things happened as follows…

The conversation with Merika’s side—

Catherine said with seriousness, “Sir, Young Master Dali has been going around to play every day during these few days. He normally goes to school as well, but he only either sleeps or reads novels in school.”

Horace anxiously asked, “What does he usually play with?”

Catherine answered, “I heard that he’d gotten the toy factory to manufacture quite a lot of high-end toy models. Usually, he reads novels on the online novel website, and at night, he would ride Big Turtle to go shopping or to take a look at his school. The blueprint of that school is really cool.”

Horace strangely asked, “Toys, novels, looking at the school?!” After he repeated that for a while, he waved and gestured at his consultant beside him. “Call our team of professionals over here to analyze the purpose of Hong Dali setting up these things. Hurry up and go!”

Very soon, the team of professionals that specialized in studying into Hong Dali’s behavior and intentions took their positions. Horace asked, “Hong Dali is recently playing with toy models and figurines. It’s those type of remote control cars. I heard that he’d manufactured a lot of them. All of you analyze it and see what’s his purpose for doing so! Quick!”

Afterward, the team of professionals started to analyze it. One person said, “According to the Hong Dali’s usual principals, there must be some development prospect of the toys that we haven’t discovered. Then, boss, could it be that the new movie that Hong Dali is going to film is related to toys?”

Another person said, “I think there’s a very big possibility of this! Boss, think about it. Since Hong Dali had waged a battle against our Hollywood, he must have some plans in mind. So, I think that he’s using one of the tactics out of the 36 tactics from Heavenly State called the diversion tactic!”

The third person said, “This should be the case! On the surface, he’s playing games, but in actuality, he’s filming movies! We can’t be blinded by outer appearances. We must analyze in depth about the purpose of him doing so!”

Horace: “This makes sense!”

Afterward, he picked up his phone and informed Catherine, “Keep a close eye over Hong Dali. Once there’s any news, you must report at once! Take note especially that you must not be deluded by him. You have to dig deeper and discover the significance regarding everything he does!”

Catherine swallowed violently. “Yes… Yes, Sir!”

After hanging up the call, Catherine perplexedly said, “Is Hong Dali that scary, to need to even specially set up a team because of him to study about him…”

However, once she thought about that legendary most frightening figure, Lucifer, Catherine still decided to observe more closely. After all, if it was possible for Lucifer not to come, then he mustn’t be called to come over!

…

While Catherine was contacting the Merika side in studying into the purpose of every move that Hong Dali made, Mu Yuxi was also seriously writing her diary of squandering—

Title: Diary of squandering. Date: June 27, 2014.

Main body: Today, Dali went to school and slept for two periods and read novels for six periods. (Note: Dali’s inspiration must have all been gained from sleeping and reading novels. Can consider learning it from it in the future.)

In the afternoon, he went to Hung Lung Hotel for lunch. Dali seems to be very dissatisfied with always coming here to have his meal. He seems to be planning to improve the renovation and style of the hotel. (Note: Important! Every time Dali has this type of idea, there will normally be good creativity, unexpected but reasonable at the same time. Brilliant!)

At night, he went out to go shopping while riding on Big Turtle. In the meantime, Dali seemed to be rather dissatisfied with the production speed of the toy factory. (Note: Looks like Dali is very serious this time. But what prospects are there by making toys? I look forward to it.)

When we’d reached the area of the school, Li Yuanshou had already roughly planned out the position of the housing estate and had started to prepare the blueprint of the housing estate. I believe that if it could be synchronized with the style of the school’s blueprint, there will definitely be a very good prospect. At least, after I’d seen the blueprint of that school, I really liked it. (Note: Not to say about the exact intake of the school, but just the appearance of the school alone is already enough to become a tourist attraction. Young Master Dali’s foresight is really great, so much better than mine!)

At night, Dali went home to sleep. I can’t follow him for this. But, upon thinking about how Young Master Dali will definitely have a greater idea upon reaching home, I really look forward to it.

Conclusion: With Young Master Dali, everything is full of anticipation for me. I anticipate what unexpected things he would do. Also, I heard that Miss Chuyin’s Holographic Projection Technology has achieved the latest development. Miss Tang Muxin now goes there every day to help out. It’s just that I’m not sure about what kind of surprise there will be by then. It’ll probably be a rather big one. (Note: After the Holographic Projection Technology has been completed, there will definitely be very good prospects lying in wait. It’s extremely worth looking forward to!)

…

Eventually, in the morning of the next day, on a Sunday, once Hong Dali reached Chenhui Building, he was instantly amused upon seeing the dark eye circles under both Mu Yuxi’s and Catherines’ eyes. “Sister Yuxi, Sister Catherine, did the two of you not sleep last night? What were you busy with?”

Catherine: “Ah, it’s nothing. I played online games for the whole night and slept quite late…”

Mu Yuxi: “I was studying into the proposal yesterday and didn’t really have a good sleep…”

Though that was what they said, both of them though in their hearts: “Wasn’t it because we were studying into the purpose of all your actions and behaviors… if it happens again in the future, we’ll really be tired to death…”

At Merika’s side, Horace also had dark eye circles. He said to his team of professionals, “We’ve studied it for a whole night. Everyone, go and rest early…”

Upon hearing this, the team of professionals was instantly relieved as they desperately rubbed their eyes. “Alright then, boss. We’ll go back to sleep first and wait for the latest news tonight…”

…

Hong Dali said in a carefree manner, “Today is Sunday, let’s go out and play! I’ve been thinking of doing so while sleeping in class these few days. Let’s set up that theme restaurant today!”

Catherine and Mu Yuxi instantly became depressed. “He’s playing some more…”
