Just as they were preparing to leave, a female attendant carefully walked over and softly asked, "May I know which of you is Hong Dali?" Her att.i.tude was very humble and carried a professional smile, looking very comfortable overall."Ah, I am." Hong Dali turned around and asked, "You have something to say to me?"
"It"s like this." The female attendant explained, "Previously, you said that you wanted to treat all of the customers in the Jade Tree to a meal. The bill is out now, and the total sum is 2,458,474 dollars. May I know when will Mr. Dali make the payment? If you don"t have enough money now, you can sign on the bill first."
Would Brother Dali not have enough money?
"Ah, I can pay now." Hong Dali looked at Ling Xiaoyi and said, "Sister Xiaoyi, go with her and settle the bill. Oh my, one meal and I squandered 2.4 million. Not bad."
Hua Xiangyu covered her face. She really had no idea what this amazing Big Bro Dali was thinking…
Yet, just as Ling Xiaoyi prepared to go, Hong Dali suddenly smiled and said, "Sister Xiaoyi, wait. After you go there, do it this way and that way. Don"t forget, haha!"
"Okay, Young Master." Ling Xiaoyi smiled and replied, then left with the attendant to settle the bill. Very quickly, she returned to Hong Dali"s side. Since everything here had been settled, they left the place and headed home.
After they boarded the transport, Hong Dali lazily leaned on the seat and placed the secret manual below his b.u.t.t so that he was sitting on it. Then, he asked Ling Xiaoyi, "Sister Xiaoyi, have you checked the prices of the stuff here? Tell me about it."
"Okay, Young Master." Ling Xiaoyi smiled, nodded, and said, "Overall speaking, the prices here are about the same as that on Earth, except for equipment and secret manuals and such which are more expensive. Other than that, there isn"t much difference, just that the currency unit is different."
Hearing that, Hong Dali understood immediately.
For example, the ice-cream on Earth was two yuan per cup, but here, it was two Shenglong Dollars per cup. Very easy to understand.
Since he had understood the prices of the things here, Hong Dali hurriedly looked at the System"s interface to check the squandering value. Then, he beamed with delight at what he saw—Current Squandering Value: 3,652,145. Redeemable Attribute Points: 36.
Brouhahaha, I finally have attribute points. This really wasn"t easy! Yup, I won five million from the gamble with Bei Yuanqing, then spent six million-plus on gambling the treasures, then treated others to a meal of 2.4 plus million. Therefore, overall the value is 3,652,145, haha!
It looks like betting on treasures is a good thing. I shall play more on this next time when I am free and get a full set of top-grade equipment for all of my lackeys so that all of them will be very powerful!
Hong Dali hurriedly added the attribute points to his Health attribute. After a warm golden light flashed on his body, his health points finally increased to 95 points.
Phew, not bad. If it wasn"t for this time"s walk, my body would still be very weak. Walking just a few steps makes me tired, that"s really annoying! But now with 95 health points, my body is almost the same as a normal person"s.
After he was done with this, Hong Dali looked again at the mysterious hidden mission. Its status had also changed now.
"Astral-level prodigal, new reward requirement has changed. Current status: Reserve attribute points. For every one million Shenglong Dollars spent, you will get one additional attribute point. Once reserve attribute points status has ended, the new reward will enter the preparation phase for the next stage."
What the heck, this means that I need to squander 100 million Shenglong Dollars…
Hong Dali rubbed his stomach and said, "Oh my, after walking for so long, I am a bit hungry now. Let"s go eat something. Hm, what shall we eat…"
"Dali, I know one place that"s not bad." Having accepted the helmet from Hong Dali, she naturally had to help him settle his meals too. Therefore, Hua Xiangyu prepared to lead the way. "The environment of that hotel is quite good, and the chiefs there are also specially hired from different planets. It"s really not bad."
Actually, she wanted to do something for Hong Dali because he was very generous to her. She naturally couldn"t be stingy. Unexpectedly, Hong Dali actually shook his head and said, "How boring that will be, that kind of standard is too low! I am a prodigal, I must eat at places of high standards!"
You think everyone is a prodigal like you!? Hua Xiangyu pouted, her expression so cute that it was very tempting to kiss her. "Then where do you think we should go?"
"I got it!" Hong Dali"s eyes lit up and he laughed loudly, then said, "I know of one good place!"
…
Very quickly, they returned to his manor. Hong Dali directly summoned all of his people, and after everyone was gathered, he laughed and said, "Brothers, let"s go and eat now!"
It wasn"t common for Hong Dali to gather everyone to eat together. Today seemed to be a bit special. Zhang Yi followed beside Hong Dali and softly asked, "Dali, where are we going to eat?"
The others were all curious of what idea Hong Dali had today too.
"It"s a good place. Everyone, follow me!" Hong Dali led the way and quickly came to the destination. When Hua Xiangyu saw the golden tree, she instantly opened her mouth wide in surprise. "The ancient golden tree!?"
She had only just brought Hong Dali here for experiment not long ago and now they were back here again? Wait, Big Bro Dali says that he wanted to eat but he came here, don"t tell me he means to…
Thinking up to this point, Hua Xiangyu"s head went numb and she asked, "Big Bro Dali, don"t tell me your intention is to…"
"Ah, that"s right." Hong Dali grinned and said, "The taste of those elixirs here is not bad. Only eating things like those are fitting of my ident.i.ty."
"Great-grandmother will beat you to death!" Hua Xiangyu frantically pulled on Hong Dali"s arm. "Quick, let"s get away from here. If Great-grandmother knows of this…"
"Relax, Great-grandmother adores me so much, it won"t be a problem!" Hong Dali instantly ran inside and at the same time shouted, "Everyone, hurry up and follow me! Hahaha, let"s have elixirs for dinner today!"
Even if the sky collapsed, Hong Dali would support it for them. The others all grinned and rushed inside. After they came to the entrance, the guards had already heard of the commotion beforehand and followed after them and anxiously said, "Stop, who is so daring to barge inside the ancient golden tree, are you seeking death!?"
"Ah, this brother, it"s me, Hong Dali!" Hong Dali gave the guard a very friendly smile and said, "I came to take some elixirs. Hehe, can you let me go in?"
"Oh, it"s you." The guard quickly recognized Hong Dali. Hong Dali was a person whom the Old Madam adored and even let him eat the elixirs as snacks. He definitely wouldn"t dare to stop Hong Dali from going in. The guard instantly smiled and said, "Since it"s Young Master Dali, I don"t have to worry. Then, please be quick and let me know the amount you take so that I can report to my superior. Please understand."
Understand, of course I understand!
Hong Dali nodded and said, "Thank you, brother." Then, he opened the door and went in.
After he went inside, Hong Dali excited waved his hand and said, "Hahaha. Everyone, start eating now. Just take whatever you want to eat. Let"s fill our stomach first before talking about other things!"
Eating elixirs for dinner, this fellow was probably the only person in history who could do such a thing!
"G.o.d!" Hua Xiangyu instantly lowered her head helplessly. "If Great-grandmother knows of this, I have no idea what will happen then. Sigh, I just hope that this matter won"t blow up too big…"
Everyone instantly started eating to their heart"s satisfaction. They ate whatever tasted nice in this room, and ate whatever gave them more stats. Other than the health elixirs which they didn"t eat much, they stuffed down all of the other types of elixirs as much as they could. Basically, they placed all concerns aside and just ate until they were full first!
The royal family was indeed different from normal people, the elixirs here were all of the most valuable that they gathered from all over the universe. After eating them, not only were their attributes boosted, the side effect was very small too. Plus the fact that their basic attributes weren"t low in the first place, it wasn"t a problem for them to absorb their effects. The only thing they felt when eating was that other than the elixirs tasted quite good, they could sense that their attributes were increasing quickly rapidly…
This meal of theirs had almost depleted as much as a third of the elixirs in the room!
After all, these elixirs would instantly melt in their mouth. They weren"t very big in size either, so it was like eating peanuts or hazelnuts. It was difficult to be full from eating such things, so they all ate a lot. Little Bai Hechou was the happiest person. This little rascal directly ate the elixirs like eating nuts. He cracked open the sh.e.l.l with one palm, threw the meat into his mouth. As he ate, he asked, "Daddy, this one is delicious, you eat some too." Hong Dali beamed with delight and praised. "Good Son!"
Just as they were eating happily and most of them were almost full, footsteps suddenly sounded outside and the door was pushed open. Then, a large bunch of people barged in.
"Hong Dali, how dare you! You actually barged into the elixir room and even wasted them like this!" Looking at the mess in the room, the Big Elder was extremely furious. This Hong Dali was way too presumptuous. Relying on Old Madam"s protection, he actually dared to do such a thing. This time, they had both the proof and witness present. He shall see how Hong Dali was going to explain himself!
What happened was that the guard who saw Hong Dali going in for so long and not coming out, fearing that something important would happen, he had no choice but to report this up.
Therefore, hearing the situation, the Elders all shared a look and instantly knew what was happening—the Old Madam adored on this Hong Dali too much, there was a high possibility that Hong Dali would threaten the position of their children in the family. Therefore, with such a good chance now, if they didn"t make good use of this opportunity to try and get rid of him, they could only regret it next time if Hong Dali came into power.
Therefore, the Elders instantly came together and directly questioned Hong Dali once they came in. The Big Elder talked first while the other Elders all maintained insipid expressions. Although their authority in the family was weaker than Hong Xingyu and Old Madam, the difference wasn"t too big. Seeing that Hong Dali did such a thing now, all of them were secretly laughing in their heart.
Barging into the elixir room without asking for permission and wasting the elixirs, these two crimes were definitely enough to kick Hong Dali out of the Hong Family. They shall see what Hong Dali could do in such a situation!
