Chapter 635: Exchanging PointersTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After hearing what he said, Hong Dali quickly looked down. What he saw was Asquith with a tree trunk that was thick as the diameter of a bowl and two and a half meters long in his hands. It looked to weigh at least a hundred pounds. However, in his hand, it seemed as light as a chicken feather. If it were on the battlefield, every time he swept the tree trunk horizontally out from his shoulder, it could take the lives of several people. In just an instant, Brenty"s rhythm was completely disrupted. He finally could not fend off the attacks that were coming from all directions and was defeated!
“Beautiful!” Graham shouted enthusiastically and clapped loudly. As he clapped, he asked Hong Dali, “Hehe, Dali, look at the strength of these two people, how are they compared with your people?”
The climax of the show was here!
The Bureau Chief, Tang Muxin, and Li Nianwei, as well as everyone else, quietened to wait for Hong Dali"s answer.
Graham was obviously trying to scare the people of Earth. If he was able to scare Hong Dali, everything else would fall into place—he would be able to threaten them however he liked!
“Oh, okay, it looks nice.” Hong Dali had no strong feelings about it. He was a sports idiot. “Compared to those on our side, well, it seems, that is, I can"t put my finger on it.”
In fact, Hong Dali had no idea as to whether their skills were powerful or not. He just felt that the other party looked good while fighting, that was all.
It was like watching a martial arts film on television. Although he didn"t understand it, it looked powerful.
But Graham didn"t think so. Because he had the probe gla.s.ses, Graham was able to see that there were several people in Hong Dali"s group that were normal. They had attributes that were below one hundred. There were also a few who had pretty good attributes which were almost two hundred. Come to think of it, the battle ability of this planet was just about there. After having spoken to Deca earlier, Graham was sure of one thing. The technological level of Hong Dali"s planet was just average, and in fact, it was just a little bit lower than his. There was not much chance of success in trying to conquer them using their technological advantage.
In that case, there was only one choice left to them—intimidating Hong Dali with the individual abilities of the men he had with him. When the time came he would exaggerate a little and say that such powerful people were a dime a dozen where he was from and hope the high ranking officials from Hong Dali"s planet would be intimidated—we can"t go to war with you, but we have powerful men who would be able to kill your leaders without much effort.
In this way, they would inevitably have a bigger advantage over Hong Dali"s people when trading. Selling some unimportant technology and other things would make everyone happy since everyone got what they wanted.
“Well, Dali, I think you are not very familiar with fighting. In short, it might look good, but it does not seem intuitive enough.” Hong Dali was obviously an idiot when it came to fighting. Graham suddenly felt like he was talking to a brick wall and quickly changed his strategy. “Well, how about this. Let"s lift a stone or something. There are also a lot of strong men under my command. For example, Asquith is quite strong.”
That was what he said, but the expression on his face was very proud.
Was there anyone who did not feel a sense of superiority at being able to scare a country b.u.mpkin?
The Bureau Chief and the others grimaced. Graham was obviously showing off their strength. When people from friendly countries visited each other in ancient times, they had to show off their battle prowess by putting on archery, wrestling, and cavalry displays. This was similar. Anyway, what it meant was that we had the superior battle ability, so you have to show me some respect!
During the ancient Qing Dynasty in ancient China, there were diplomats who went to negotiate with foreigners. When they saw the foreigners" guns and cannons, they were so scared their legs trembled. Then, they returned and agreed to a whole bunch of treaties with unfair conditions.
Graham was doing exactly the same thing now. His position was similar to that of the foreigners then.
“Oh, okay, okay.” Hong Dali didn"t have any strong opinions. It was good as long as there was fun. “Let"s get started, I want to see how strong the other races in the universe are.”
“Good!” Graham yelled when he heard Hong Dali agree. Then, he shouted to Asquith, “Asquith, perform for Dali. You can lift up, what, more than one thousand and five hundred kilograms?”
According to the System standard, which was roughly the same as the probe gla.s.ses, when the power attribute was one hundred points, a person would be able to lift three hundred kilograms of weight. As he came from a battle race, Asquith had an extremely high power attribute, about three hundred and fifty, so the weight he could lift would be about one thousand five hundred kilograms.
“Yes, Master Graham.” Asquith nodded. “I will go look for it now, hehe.”
When Asquith left to look for the stone, the Bureau Chief said to Ling Xiaoyi in a low voice, “Graham sure has everything planned out. He is planning to give us a good scare.”
“Yes, Bureau Chief, Sir.” Ling Xiaoyi nodded. “If it were someone else and not Dali, that person would definitely have been scared.”
This was not an exaggeration. It was just that Hong Dali was so carefree and thoughtless that he didn"t take it seriously. If it were an ordinary person, and he saw someone lift a stone that was more than one thousand five, six hundred kilograms, he would have been so scared he might have wet his pants.
“Dali, this little brat.” The Bureau Chief shook his head and smiled. “Luckily we have such a genius on our planet, otherwise we would have really made a fool of ourselves today.”
As the two of them were whispering to each other, the people on Graham"s side started getting excited.
Before they came, they knew that this would be a big transaction. It was a matter of millions. It was best if they could gain superiority over the other side now, then they could speak as equals with the generals and leaders of the other planet. It was better than having to sneak around. The feeling was definitely different.
“Hehe, Asquith is one of the top five strongest people in our crew, they will definitely be intimidated!”
“Well, that"s true. Aiya, this planet that Hong Dali is on seems to have an abundance of beautiful women. When the time comes I intend to get a few and keep them as slaves.”
“Haha, that"s easy. With our abilities, do we still have to catch them? People from small planets such as this certainly have not seen the world. I think they will deliver themselves to us when the time comes. I"m just afraid that you won"t be able to chase them away even if you tried!”
“That sounds wonderful, haha!”
“Ok, stop talking. Asquith is back!”
Sure enough, just as everyone was busy chatting, the ground suddenly trembled. Everyone turned to look. It turned out to be Asquith holding a large stone that looked like it weighed one thousand and five or six hundred kilograms walking slowly towards them.
When they saw that, all of Graham"s people started cheering. “Hahahaha, Asquith, well done! Fantastic!” “Yeah, look at the size of that stone, it must be more than one thousand and six hundred kilograms. It"s not easy to lift it up!””That"s true, our people are naturally powerful, there"s no doubt about it!”
The Bureau Chief"s eyebrows were deeply furrowed.
Ling Xiaoyi and the other lackeys were surprised.
Judging based on an earthling"s perspective, anyone would be surprised if they were to meet someone with such G.o.dly strength.
“We are in trouble this time.” One of the male lackeys said, “It"s obvious they are trying to scare us, but we do not have anyone as strong as his man. What should we do?” Another female lackey said, “This is a problem. We are obviously not as strong as him. If we were to fight, it"s hard to say who will win. If we were to lose, that would be a disgrace.”
Everyone started talking. At that moment. Asquith picked the heavy rock up and put it in the middle of the field before turning around. He looked at Hong Dali. “Sir, was my performance satisfactory?”
“Not bad, not bad.” Hong Dali clapped and smiled widely. “Fantastic! Aiya, I did not know that you were so strong. Powerful!”
“Hahaha. It"s just okay.” Asquith looked at Graham proudly. “Sir, was my performance satisfactory? I will put this thing down. Aiya, actually, it"s quite heavy.”
“Put it down, put it down.” Graham chuckled and nodded. He looked at Hong Dali and said, “Dali, look at my man, what do you think of his abilities? If we were to compare him with your people, is he stronger or weaker?”
“Your man is powerful.” Hong Dali was an honest man. “His skills are good and he has great strength. Powerful, he"s powerful!”
“Hahaha. Right?” Graham chuckled as he looked into Hong Dali"s eyes. “Is there anyone from your side who can fight, Dali? Perhaps they can exchange pointers.”
“Ah? What about us?” Hong Dali rubbed his chin and thought about it. “There are a few, but none of them are here now…”
“Oh? Can we invite him here?” When Graham saw that no one from Hong Dali"s side was up to the challenge, he became even more conceited. “If he can come, we will wait here for him.”
Unexpectedly, just as he said that a low voice was heard. “No need to wait. I"m here!”
The crowd turned to look. It was a young man with cold eyes, a slightly pale face, and short brownish red hair. His footsteps were very powerful and steady, and he walked to the center of the venue without hesitation. He turned to Hong Dali and said, “Young Master, I"m here.”
Looking at the Blood Demon standing proudly on the floor, Graham quickly looked at him through the probe gla.s.ses. After he looked, he suddenly felt much better!
Strength: 232, Agility: 222, Reflexes: 246.
Although this man seemed to be much stronger than the ones that Hong Dali had brought with him, it was obviously not enough to compare with Asquith, whose attributes were all above three hundred.
In the universe, the three attributes often determined a person"s skill. Only the legendary Galaxy Warrior was able to truly surpa.s.s the shackles of attribute limits and explode with combat power that was far above what was possible based on the attributes.
The Galaxy Warrior was just a legend. Hong Dali"s planet was a rural planet that had yet to explore the universe, it was obviously impossible for him to be there…
“Dali, your man, can he do it?” After all, if comparing attributes, his man had much higher attributes than Hong Dali"s man. Graham had to ask for the other side"s opinion first. “If there is really no one powerful, we could just perform a little more for you.”
