"Young Master, you have recovered?" At this moment, Zhang Yi hurriedly ran over and mastered the courage to lift her head. "Young Master, you, you"ve recovered!""Yes, I"m okay. Hahaha!" Hong Dali excitedly said, "Sister Zhang Yi, I love you too. Hahaha! Sister Zhang Yi, muacks!"
"You… you." Zhang Yi ran away in embarra.s.sment…
"This idiot." Ji Zining, who had been watching little Bai Hechou practice "Blaze of Light" from afar, muttered disdainfully. "Lacking in seriousness, impatient. Far worse than my Hantian!"
Little Bai Hechou was practising the six moves, Alleviate, crush, tough, stride in air, a.s.sault, and charge, in "Blaze of Light". His little body displayed the moves well. Ji Zining suddenly smiled, then shook her head helplessly. "But, compared to Hantian, this kid"s luck… Aye, is much better…"
With these attribute points, Hong Dali felt more at ease.
Two hundred and twenty-four attribute points, after maximizing his Health to 100, there were 132 attribute points as a reserve.
In that case, that meant he could hold on for another two hundred to three hundred over hours. He could finally relax!
"Lackeys," Hong Dali mumbled, "squander with all your might, our lives are the most important thing… Hahahaha!"
…
In the Universe, on the s.p.a.cecraft which Jiang Qianxue and the others were on.
The s.p.a.cecraft they were on was slowing down as it flew towards Beta Planet.
Yin Tianzong and Feng Wuhen"s idea was to report Li Tianxing immediately upon their return. However, Jiang Qianxue was right. It was okay to report Li Tianxing, but the problem was that the Elders would never punish Li Tianxing severely. At most, he would be confined for a period of time and not be groomed so heavily in the future.
But if they did that, Jiang Qianxue and the others would not be able to explain how they managed to keep their lives. Even if they managed to explain, they might have to reveal what was going on on Earth between Hong Dali, the Queen of Blades, Ji Zining, and the Golden Emperor Beetle. They would lose more than they"d gain. They must not do this.
"Qianxue," Yin Tianzong asked softly, "it"s boring to stay in the Universe. How about we find an ordinary planet to have some fun?"
"That"s right." Feng Wuhen nodded. "It"s too boring. According to our plans, we should return a few days after Li Tianxing. Li Tianxing should take half a month, or even longer, to return to Beta Planet. We have to stay here for another twenty days or so. We should find somewhere to relax, right?"
"That"s true." To be honest, it was really quite boring staying here. Such a small s.p.a.cecraft was inconvenient and really troublesome. Hence, Jiang Qianxue thought about it and agreed decisively. "Well, let"s find a planet to go around first. I remember having an uninhabited planet under my name around here. Let"s go there. We could at least look at the scenery. It"s definitely better than staying here."
"Great!" Both of them agreed unanimously. "Let"s go right away!"
"En." Since the destination was decided, Jiang Qianxue instructed her guard. "Check the planets under my name which are around the area."
"Yes!" The guard quickly searched and reported his findings. "Glorious Planet, 120 million kilometers away from here. Twenty-eight thousand kilometers in diameter, Landma.s.s: 46%, Environmental grade: Excellent, suitable for human habitation."
"En, okay." Jiang Qianxue appeared satisfied hearing that. "Inform the captain to head there. Also, send someone to return to Silver-blue super-planet secretly. You will be the interim commander. Remember what we spoke about previously."
The guard saluted immediately. "Yes!"
…
On the other side, the s.p.a.cecraft which Li Tianxing was on.
"Don"t return to Beta Planet in a hurry. Let"s find a planet to relax first." Since he had silenced the people, he naturally had to provide some benefits. Hence, Li Tianxing was very generous this time. "Check to see if there are any surrounding planets. Let"s take a vacation there first."
No one would reject a vacation. Li Tianxing"s suggestion gained everyone"s agreement. They began to search.
Soon, a pilot shouted, "Lord, there"s an uninhabited planet suitable for human habitation… But, it"s under Miss Qianxue"s name. We…"
"Under Qianxue"s name?" Li Tianxing laughed out loud. "Let"s take a vacation there, then. Everyone can relax in peace!"
Jiang Qianxue had probably died in the battle with the Zergs. That was more than five billion Zergs. Even communication was cut off. The chance of her being alive must be zero!
Since she had died, it did not matter who this planet belonged to.
"Set off, towards Glorious Planet!" Li Tianxing instructed. "Once we arrive, everyone can take a break for a few days. Play as much as you want. If anyone finds anything good, they may keep it. I won"t stop you!"
…
In the airs.p.a.ce above Shenluo City, in a s.p.a.cecraft on which Li Nianwei and Ling Xiaoyi were on, headed towards Shenluo City.
"Sister Nianwei," Ling Xiaoyi looked at the Silver-blue super-planet which was becoming bigger as they approached it and said in a deep voice, "we are reaching Shenluo City soon. We need to come up with a plan. If anything goes wrong even by a little bit, it will cause a calamity. After all, considering the relations.h.i.+p between humans and the Zergs, Young Master"s current situation must not be exposed."
"Yes." Li Nianwei crossed her arms and nodded. "Now that Young Master is in trouble and is not with us, it"s time for us to prove our worth. Young Master has always been protecting us. This time, it"s our turn to protect Young Master."
Everyone cheered. "For the Young Master, Dali Creates Miracles!"
Dali"s slogan was powerful, indeed!
"Master." Li Yang decisively asked Hong Weiguo. "Young Master is not here now. As lackeys, we will take instructions from Master going forward. Please let us know what to do when you have decided on a plan. We are the best at settling minor squabbles."
"You rascal." Hong Weiguo squatted on the ground and took a puff. He twitched his mouth and then shook his head.
Without Hong Dali, he would become the pillar. He finally understood how good his son"s vision was—this bunch of people that Hong Dali took under him were not as simple as they looked!
"I thought carefully," Hong Weiguo said in a deep voice. "There are a few things we need to do now.
"First, when we return to the Silver-blue super-planet, our ident.i.ty must not be exposed! Especially to the other Galaxy Aristocrats. Otherwise, they will find out what happened between us and the Zergs. So, the first thing is to keep a low profile and stay away from the Galaxy Aristocrats.
"Second, we need to make money. Dali must have a reason for asking us to return to squander. If I"m not wrong, when we squander, Dali will gain some very important benefits. But we need money to squander. So we must work hard to earn money. I will take care of this with Ruoxi. We will act as the trustees for Dali"s properties.
"Third, we need to make use of Dali"s a.s.sets first as our capital. Later on, everyone may begin to squander as much as we have."
What Hong Weiguo had just said was what everyone needed to do at this moment.
What did squandering require? Money. How does one squander without money?
Hence, someone needed to earn money. Who was the best person to do it? It had to be Hong Weiguo and his wife.
As for the squandering, the best people to do it was the people around Hong Dali.
"Alright, Master." Li Nianwei agreed on everyone"s behalf. "When we arrive at Shenluo City, we will split up the course of actions."
"En. We"ll do just that." Hong Weiguo nodded. "When we"re there, we"ll contact the guard that Qianxue arranged. He will take care of the rest. Alright." With everything settled, Hong Weiguo looked towards Ling Xiaoyi. "Xiaoyi, tell us about the a.s.sets that Dali owns. I"ll see what is suitable for us to use."
"Yes, Master." Ling Xiaoyi was best at calculating a.s.sets. "Young Master Dali"s a.s.sets are categorized into clothing, food, shelter, and entertainment. In terms of clothing, Young Master has two clothing companies, both on the verge of closing down. There isn"t much profit. In terms of food, there are four restaurants, all barely making ends meet. There aren"t so many in terms of shelter. Young Dali did not purchase any properties. An Honorary Aristocrat bought a piece of land at a purchase price of 36 million Galaxy Dollars. For transportation, there is a s.p.a.cecraft factory. There is a movie company in terms of entertainment. Oh right, Young Master also has a gem factory. But this requires further development. I don"t have many details on it right now."
These were the main properties under Hong Dali. The other minor businesses were not worth mentioning—after all, it was faster to earn money from these bigger a.s.sets.
"En, these a.s.sets…" Hong Weiguo touched his chin. "It"s easier to profit from the clothing company and restaurants. Although it is more worthwhile to develop the piece of land and the aircraft factory, they are more suitable for long-term businesses. The same goes for the gem factory. Send me the details of the two clothing companies and four restaurants. Put the rest aside first."
"Yes, Master." Ling Xiaoyi nodded.
"Is there anything else?" Hong Weiguo thought for a while, then asked, "We need to acc.u.mulate some capital now. In other words, we need a sum of money for capital. After all, it is difficult to run a business without funds. And most of all, we still need some original capital for everyone to squander."
