Hong Weiguo and several others were secretly discussing real estate plans for the future New Earth. Old Master Hong began to make arrangements for Hong Dali. "Sweetheart, finish up your businesses here and return to Shenglong Astral with us. There are ample resources there. When you"re there, we can better train you. Otherwise, here…" He shook his head. "Resources are too scarce here. Except for this Tower of Life which is indeed priceless, the others are too few."Aye? You"re bringing me to Shenglong Astral for training? What kind of training will it be? You can"t be asking me to practice martial arts, right?
"That, great-grandfather," Hong Dali shook his head like a rattle. "I think I"m good now. You can"t be asking me to train with someone, right? My const.i.tution… is not suitable!"
Long live Man-made G.o.d! If he had not transformed to a Star Knight and used Second Gear, causing his Health attributes to fall to 60 points, he would probably be forced to practice martial arts!
Actually, if it was just ordinary practice, it was okay. The key was that his attribute points had an upper limit of one hundred. It was useless no matter how he trained!
"Haha. Sweetheart, your const.i.tution is similar to Jun-er. Of course I won"t send you to practice." Hong Xingyu did not seem to mind. "No matter what, even though you don"t train, you still have to attend school. As an immediate child of Shenglong Royal Family, you must enter Shenglong Royal Family Divine College. Well, when you get in, with your current status, you just have to go through the motions and graduate."
Shenglong Royal Family Divine College! Woah, I"ve gone around such a big circle and now I actually have to return to school?!
"Great-grandfather!" Hong Dali widened his eyes in fear. "Are you serious? Are you serious about sending me to Shenglong Royal Family Divine College?! Study! I haven"t studied for such a long time, now I have to go to school again…"
Everyone else was scared as well. Young Master is actually going to school again? Wouldn"t he turn the school upside down?! Don"t underestimate this rascal"s strength. He"s not that easy to handle. He"s definitely capable of being a troublemaker, an attention magnet wherever he goes.
"Just go. There"s no need to feel any pressure." Old Madam Hua Yueling finally spoke. "With our Hong Family"s status, even as an ordinary person, no one would dare to do anything to you. Just go through the motions."
Alright, this Old Madam doesn"t have a good temper. I better obey her instructions.
"Al… alright…" Hong Dali nodded bitterly. "Well, can I bring my lackeys as well? I feel uneasy without them around…"
This was the key of the problem. Hong Dali was a prodigal. His lackeys did everything for him. Without them, it could be quite troublesome.
"No." Hong Xingyu shook his head decisively. He groaned and said, "Not anybody can enter Shenglong Royal Family Divine College. It must be someone born to the royal family, and an ability user fused with a Soul Stone. They must be good as well. Although they are quite powerful and are all ability users, their status is lacking. At best, they can only be admitted to the foreign branch of the Royal Family College for further studies."
It seemed this Shenglong Royal Family Divine College was quite powerful. They were especially strict when it came to status. If one was not from the royal family, it was hard to get admitted even with Old Master Hong"s position!
"Alright." Hong Dali was in no position to go against that. He could only ask one last question. "Then, my last problem. This is an important problem!"
"Say it." Old Madam nodded. "I"ll decide for you!"
Look at how he was treated. They did not even know what his question was, yet they were able to decisively decide for him. With their strength and position, that being said, even if Hong Dali wanted the Milky Way, it would probably be okay!
"That," Not unexpected, Hong Dali asked softly, "When I"m there, can I still squander? I"m a prodigal. I feel uneasy if I don"t squander!"
That was expected! Everyone lowered their head together—such a good opportunity, at least ask for something else. d.a.m.n!
"Squander?" The Old Madam froze, then laughed heartily. "Hahahaha, I was wondering what problem could there be? It turned out to be such a trivial matter. No problem, our Hong family in Shenglong Astral is second to none. Squander as you wish, as much as you want! En, Dimu Star Sector High n.o.bles will only be here in a few days. Just watch how your great-grandmother, me, rip them off to let you use them as pocket money. You can spend however you want to!"
What the heck is that!
Ripping off the High n.o.bles. Just one word from the Old Madam and G.o.d knew how much money Hong Dali would get!
When everyone counted with their fingers and wondered how many zeros there would be behind that amount, Hong Dali quickly asked again, "Oh right, great-grandmother, Shenglong Astral should have its own currency, right? What is the exchange rate like between Dimu Dollars and Shenglong Dollars…"
This should be properly clarified. Other matters were trivial. The key was the System. There were missions to be completed—When he fused with the Golden Emperor Beetle, the System had upgraded. Didn"t it mention a strongest ability? That should be rather powerful!
"One Shenglong Dollar is equal to 2,000 Dimu Dollars." The old woman said calmly, "Dimu Dollars are not worth much. Us royalty cannot be bothered with them. Only those High n.o.bles would treat them as treasures. When the time comes, I"ll ask for ten trillion Dimu Dollars or so. That"s only five billion Shenglong Dollars. You can have some fun with that."
"Oh, okay. I understand." That was understood. En, five billion Shenglong Dollars. That felt good.
"Alright," Hong Xingyu looked at Hong Weiguo and others again. "The others will get ten planets each. You will become kings. One hundred million Shenglong Dollars each. You may use them however you wish to. Additionally, oh yes," Hong Xingyu pointed at Hong Weiguo and Lan Ruoxi. "What are your names?"
Hong Weiguo hurriedly replied, "My name is Hong Weiguo. I"m Dali"s father. This is my wife, Lan Ruoxi."
"En, both of you," Hong Xingyu nodded. "One galaxy each and 500 million Shenglong Dollars. Of course, I understand the pain of not having your child by your side. Hence, you may choose to return to Shenglong planet with us. You may set up your businesses there. But in that case, I can only give you 100 million as capital. The Hong Family does not take care of useless people."
Hong Dali finally understood where those words came from—the origin was here!
No matter what, things were more or less settled. Hong Dali did not care about the other trivial matters, anyway. What was on his mind was the things he would encounter when he entered the Shenglong Royal Family Divine College…
Things on Earth were almost settled. All they had to do was wait for the High n.o.bles to come forward to get blackmailed. The Old Master touched his chin and looked at the burly White Beard Gate. He nodded and said, "You are White Beard, right? I"ve heard of you. You"re very strong and powerful. The only thing is that you"re a pirate."
"Guu…" The person in front of him was royalty among the royalty. White Beard Gate could not be discourteous. He thought for quite a while and finally laughed. "That"s just my personal interest. The High n.o.bles are an eyesore."
"That"s quite a good personal interest." The High n.o.bles were Hong Dali"s enemies. If he found them an eyesore, he"d be their friend. The old couple"s logic was as simple as such. The Old Madam asked, "How are you related to my sweetheart, then?"
"He"s my G.o.dfather!" It would not sound right for the word "G.o.dfather" to be said from White Beard"s mouth. Hence, Hong Dali decisively spoke up. "When I was still a kid in the Milky Way Alliance, G.o.dfather took really good care of me. Hehe."
This was a good time to pull strings. Jiang Dongliu, who had been standing aside, nodded anxiously.
Li Xuancheng had gotten ready to cozy up to them. He nodded awkwardly as well. "Yes, yes, yes. We did not hesitate to have Gate take care of Dali then. Hehe."
Everyone pouted as they heard that—it was none of their business whether Gate took care of Hong Dali. Who were they to get involved?
However, although Li Xuancheng was a little annoying, he did not go overboard. In accordance with the Young Master"s spirit, since Hong Dali did not say anything, the others kept quiet as well.
"My sweetheart"s G.o.dfather, not bad." The Old Madam nodded. "In that case, quit being a pirate. Follow us back to Shenglong Star. Be my old man"s guard command. We"ll train you well when we"re there. It should be no problem."
"Guu, okay." White Beard nodded. He was considered successfully pardoned.
That was normal. White Beard was not a fool. He was an interstellar pirate king in Dimu Star Sector. His future was unknown in front of these Shenglong royalties. If he did not agree, it would be hard to predict the consequences—the important thing was, there was no harm agreeing…
"Sweetheart," The Old Madam held Hong Dali and beamed with delight. "I heard you have fused with the Golden Emperor Beetle? Your luck is pretty good. The Golden Emperor Beetle is very powerful. When it grows up, its power will be incredible. Let it wait in our s.p.a.ce carrier first. When we have settled everything here, it can return with us to Shenglong Star. Ordinary people would not be able to bring it up. Only the royal family has enough resources to do so."
An adult Golden Emperor Beetle had once caused unimaginable damage to Theron Star Sector. However, to the Shenglong Royal Family, although it was dangerous, it was less important compared to their sweetheart. No matter what this thing became, the royal family would have enough power to take it down. Hence, they were not as afraid of it.
In addition to its relations.h.i.+p with Hong Dali, the Golden Emperor Beetle was similar to a pet—as long as Hong Dali was happy, they could afford to handle most things that came their way.
