“What the heck, dad, it isn’t to the extent that you’re threatened, right? Who’s so ignorant?” Hong Dali was very curious. In fact, with the Hong Family’s status, there were truly not many people who would be able to threaten Hong Weiguo.

“One of the five magnates in the Resource Chamber of Commerce, Sun Yuanzhou, who has hold of more than 40% of the household electrical appliances in Heavenly State.” Hong Weiguo said in an enigmatic voice. “A very powerful person.”

“Oh, is that so.” Hong Dali paused for a while. “Dad, then, do you plan to deal with him the hard way or the subtle and slow way?” Though this fellow Hong Dali usually appeared carefree and squandered happily, that was on the condition that no one trifled with the people around him.

Before his transmigration, this fellow was an orphan. After his transmigration, though he’d become a prodigal, he was all along extremely caring towards his family members—this could be seen when he gave Hong Weiguo and Lan Ruoxi jades he’d enhanced with the health attribute.

“That’s up to you. Anyway, you can’t let him bully me.” Currently, Hong Weiguo was smiling like a sly old fox.

“Alright, then wait for me.” As he spoke, Hong Dali hung up the call.

There was an uncanny silence in the conference room—even the sounds of breathing could be heard—and the atmosphere was tense to the max.

Upon hearing Hong Weiguo and Hong Dali’s discussion about him, Sun Yuanzhou could be said to have suffered from great humiliation. Currently, his facial expression was extremely solemn. But after all, he was someone who did big things; thus, he wasn’t hopping mad. He only gritted his teeth and said, “Hong Weiguo, today I’ll sit here, wait, and see what you can do to me!”

“Haven’t I said it already?” Hong Weiguo extremely innocently shrugged. “It’s my squandering son who’s gonna fight with you. I won’t dare to go against you, CEO Sun. You’re one of the five magnates, a small businessman like me won’t be so daring, heh heh.”

“Fine! Hope that you won’t regret it!” Sun Yuanzhou angrily said.

Mu Tie secretly jabbed at Liu Yihui and asked, “Hey, this time the matter became so big, will this work?”

Liu Yihui whispered, “How would I know… But you should have heard that Dali creates miracles, right? I feel that Weiguo wouldn’t go to the extent of doing something he isn’t confident about. But the other party is Sun Yuanzhou, so I’m also not sure whether it’ll work out…”

As the two of them spoke, Sun Yuanzhou’s smartphone suddenly rang. Sun Yuanzhou asked harshly, “Who is it? I’m busy now.”

“I heard that you’re threatening my dad?” It was actually Hong Dali who had called. “Your Sun Family is one of the five big magnates in our Heavenly State. Um, though I’m not very familiar with the business world, I think your family hasn’t gone out of Heavenly State and emigrated, right?”

“Hong Dali, how dare you talk like this to me!” Sun Yuanzhou had really been greatly angered today. A little brat also dared to go against him. “Don’t worry, I’ll make you satisfied.”

“Oh, I got it.” Hong Dali answered and then hung up the call.

Chenhui Building, ninth floor.

Hong Dali lay on Li Nianwei’s lap, holding his smartphone and making a call. Once the call had been received, he shouted loudly, “Uncle Chief, my dad is being threatened, it’s up to you to settle it!”

“Rascal, what are you up to again!” The Bureau Chief raged. “Your dad is Hong Weiguo! The Hong Family’s Hong Weiguo! Who’s so ignorant to bully him, is that person tired of living?!”

“I heard that the other party is very powerful.” This time, Hong Dali didn’t care to be polite.Anyway, I’d go against anyone who bullies my dad.“He’s called Sun Yuanzhou or something, and I heard he has hold of more than 40% of our Heavenly State’s household electrical appliances. My dad isn’t able to win against him. Anyway, I don’t care, Uncle Chief. You have to help me think of a way. Or else, I won’t squander in the future!”

“Wait! Wait, rascal, I’ll do something about this, alright?!” The Bureau Chief had really suffered injustice today. If other people squandered, he’d probably break that prodigal’s leg, but he had to fully support Hong Dali’s squandering! If Hong Dali stopped squandering, he’d probably not have it easy as well—look at those things that this fellow had started up through squandering, they were all awesome!

Holographic Projection, battling Hollywood, Big Turtle, the Black Tortoise, the neural connection technology that had just been completed yesterday, and in the future, there were still airplanes and car models, voice control system and so on… it was unclear the extent he could make Heavenly State’s technology upgrade to.

If he stopped squandering, that would definitely be the Heavenly State’s loss and the loss of the entire human race!

Hadn’t the seal been made, “Squandering for the sake of the rise of Heavenly State, Hong Dali seal!”

Such a freak, and now that his dad was being bullied, who would dare to ignore it?

“Say it, what do you want me to do?” The Bureau Chief was helpless. But those from the above had already given him a firm order that as long as Hong Dali didn’t go against the Heavenly State and the human race, he had to satisfy all his requests. Thus, the Bureau Chief asked this question with confidence.

“Sun Yuanzhou said that he’d definitely make me satisfied, so now I want to make him satisfied first.” Hong Dali grinned. “Uncle Chief, why don’t you treat him to a cup of tea? Or else he’ll keep on trifling with my dad.”

“I’ll put it this way.” The Bureau Chief thought for a while, then said, “Things are very complicated in the Resource Chamber of Commerce. All of them have very powerful backgrounds, so it’s not very convenient for our side to directly intervene. Or else it’d be very troublesome if it causes a backlash. But though I can’t make a move on him, I can support your side.”

“Oh? Uncle Chief, then what do you plan to do?” Hong Dali curiously asked, “Promote my dad to one of those so-called five magnates? Speaking of which, this word‘magnate’¹doesn’t sound nice, I’ll always relate it to‘widow’²…”

“Rascal,” The Bureau Chief raged. “Can you not be so imaginative? The meaning of ‘magnate’ is being strong and dominant in a certain field, without any opponents! It’s not being a widow!”

“Ohh, that’s not bad.” Hong Dali stared with wide eyes. “Then Chief, what do you plan to do?”

“Recently, didn’t you say that you wanted to develop that so-called combination of virtual reality and online gaming?” The Bureau Chief slowly said, “I feel that if people can exercise their bodies while playing games, that’s a very good idea. So, my idea is to transform that Dream Dota League that you have created into the Heavenly State’s official E-Sports event. This would result in a very big increase in the physical fitness of our Heavenly State citizens. After this technology of yours has been developed, send it to me, then I’ll arrange for the state-owned factory to manufacture this gaming chamber and help you launch it.”

“Aye?” Hong Dali was shocked. “Uncle Chief, how did you think of such a good idea? You must be an immortal!”

“Stop currying favor.” The Bureau Chief harshly said, “Do you think everyone is like you, only thinking about playing every day? Do you know what the combination of virtual reality and online gaming can do? Have you ever thought that if we use this technology to make a big robot, then the robot can follow to make the same movements as the person inside operating the robot? That’s the new era in the history of robots! Though they can’t be used for battles, it’d definitely not be a problem to carry out tasks at various dangerous environments!”

What the heck, wouldn’t that mean that…

There would be a chance to film a real-life version of Pacific Rim?!

“You are indeed an immortal!” Hong Dali exclaimed in surprise, “I want to make a 50-meter-tall robot to film a movie! Uncle Chief, I’ll be depending on you! My requirements are not high, right!”

“Do you believe I’ll kill you?!” The Bureau Chief shouted, “Rascal, you’re making a 50-meter-tall robot just to film a movie?!”

“If not this, what else would I do…” Hong Dali sniffled. “Then, when will the news be released?”

“I’ll go and make the arrangements right away.” Then the Bureau Chief made a last request. “Rascal, about that cave inside the passageway of the underground third level of New Lanxiang, when will you go with me to take a look?”

“That cave?” It’d been quite a long time. Hong Dali had almost forgotten. “I’ve forgotten about it, Uncle Chief. You should have already grasped hold of that remote control airplane technology, can’t you go by yourself? The weather is so hot…”

“Wouldn’t I be sick in the mind if I don’t use you brat who’s so exceedingly lucky?” The Bureau Chief was very helpless as well. In fact, he’d indeed thought countless times about sending other people there, but once he thought about Hong Dali’s exceeding luck… He could only believe it to be true. “Perhaps nothing will be gained if other people go, but if you go, you’ll probably be able to discover something rare!”

Hong Dali twitched his lips. “Uncle Chief, we are youths of the 21st century, we must believe in science. You’re so superstitious…”

“Don’t talk nonsense!” The Bureau Chief was once again enraged by Hong Dali. “Rascal, I’ll send you the mass-produced Granzons three days later, and also that Valsion. There’s a total of 60 of them. Do as you deem fit. A few more days are still needed for the Mechanical Holy Garments; we still need to do a few improvements. A few days later, after you finish dealing with the online gaming issue, accompany us in exploring that cave. You’re not allowed to reject, or else I won’t care if your dad is being bullied!”

“O… OK…” Hong Dali mumbled, “I’m a prodigal, have you seen such a busy prodigal?!”

…

Shanghai Tianhai City, Door to Heaven, 92nd floor.

Sun Yuanzhou was sitting there waiting for news. Alas, very soon, the secretary hurriedly walked over. Upon hearing the secretary’s words, Sun Yuanzhou’s expression instantly changed drastically, and he looked at Hong Weiguo in bewilderment. After staring at him for a while and not saying a word, he stood up at once and hurriedly walked out.

“What’s the situation?” Mu Tie stared at Sun Yuanzhou’s back view and said in shock, “He’s leaving just like that?!”

“This is very strange! It’s so out of the blue.” Liu Yihui nodded. “He didn’t even leave any threatening words behind? This is amazing; very unlike his character!”

Very soon, the secretaries of Hong Weiguo and the other two also hurriedly walked in. Upon hearing their reports, the three of them instantly roared with laughter!

Hong Weiguo repeatedly slapped his thigh. “Hahahaha! This little prodigal has really not disappointed me, hahaha! Sun Yuanzhou’s expression is probably very bad now!”

Mu Tie also laughed loudly. “Yes. Among the five magnates, Sun Yuanzhou has the weakest ability, and his total assets are worth 60 billion. This time, he’s probably very anxious. Perhaps he’ll drop down from his position as one of the five magnates. No wonder he didn’t even dare to say anything threatening!”

Liu Yihui: “Let’s wait and see. This time, there’s a good show to watch!”

At 2:00 PM that day, Dream Dota League officially released a huge piece of news!

Once this news was released, the players who were still taking a look-and-see stance were completely shocked!
