“The quality of toys in Heavenly State is so high now?! I really thought that thing was a UFO!”
Once he entered the presidential suite of Imperial Hotel, Ko Gohon exploded. “When did Heavenly State’s toys become so powerful?! Previously, the statistical data displayed that the UFO that had been bombed was able to fly at least 1000 meters in height, and it was very stable when it stopped mid-air! I’d thought that even if it wasn’t a UFO, it would be a new unmanned plane developed by some research laboratory. In the end, it turns out to be a toy!”
Ko Gohon furiously smashed everything he saw. “The toys made by this Hong Dali are actually this technologically developed?!”
“No, no, I have to think of a way.” Ko Gohon calmed down very quickly and carefully thought it over. “I must attract his attention as soon as possible, or else, who knows what else he’ll start up.”
Thinking up to this point, Ko Gohon touched his chin. “Speed must be increased! Come in!”
“Young Master!” Upon hearing Ko Gohon’s command, the bodyguard hurriedly pushed the door open and went in. “Young Master, what are your orders?”
“Go and contact Li Yuankai from Hongda Real Estate Company right away.” Ko Gohon anxiously said, “Ask him to find Hong Dali as soon as possible and see whether he can purchase all those lands. Remember to tell him to buy as many as he can, we have to grasp ahold of time!”
“Yes!”
As the bodyguard was about to leave, he was stopped by Ko Gohon again. “Wait! Go and find a few people who can fight and send them to Hong Dali’s school. We can’t let him be so carefree, we must play him around properly in school as well!”

Merika, Hexagon Building.
“Department Chief,” A bald middle-aged man sat opposite the Films Department Chief, Horace, and asked, “How’s the monitoring going on at Heavenly State? I’ve heard news yesterday that a UFO appeared in the skies at the outer area of Tianjing Mountain. May I know what exactly happened?”
This bald middle-aged man was called Salon, and he was the chief of Merika’s National Intelligence Department. He was considered the same rank as Horace, but he had much more actual power. He came today mainly to ask about the information from Heavenly State—Horace had sent his secretary, Catherine, there to get some intelligence; that was something they’d done openly. They could indeed gain much valuable information from Hong Dali’s side.
Actually, with Salon’s status as the chief of the Intelligence Department, he had several spies on hand, but his instincts told him that even 100 spies might not be as useful as Catherine alone, though Catherine had never learned any spying skills.
This was actually something interesting. Catherine, who had never been trained as a spy, turned out to be much more effective than many professional spies. The root reason was that Catherine was now by that amazing Hong Dali’s side.
As expected, upon hearing Salon’s inquiries about this incident, Horace smiled and answered, “Chief Salon, the latest news has already been reported by Catherine. It’s just a toy Hong Dali made. Hehe, this Hong Dali can cause such a ruckus with just a toy. It’s really frightening!”
“Oh? A toy?” Salon touched his chin and resolutely shook his head. “This incident is not that simple. Though that video clip has already been deleted, you saw it, right?”
“Yes, I saw it. What about it?” Horace asked.
“Heavenly State is now getting more and more powerful,” Salon said in a deep voice. “A toy made by a prodigal can reach such a far controllable distance, and the most important thing is its accurate maneuvering and stability in the air. Also, have you seen its exterior? It’s extremely sci-fi like, and the design of that toy is extremely good looking and interesting as well. And by linking that to that pure sci-fi style school… Dear Horace, don’t you think that Heavenly State’s current technology has already far exceeded our imagination?”
“Technology?” Upon hearing Salon’s reminder, Horace instantly realized. “Chief Salon, what you mean is that the current technology in Heavenly State is already about to surpass our nation’s? That’s not possible, right?”
“Surpassing ours, maybe not. But it’s entirely possible that their technology in a certain aspect is stronger than ours.” Salon took out a piece of material from his file. After opening the file, what was printed on the white paper were countless analysis regarding Hong Dali’s toy model. “Look at this, it’s the statistical data the technical department has modeled with reference to that plane in the video.” Salon pointed at the image on the paper. “This plane is about half a meter in size. The size can be put aside first, but the problem is, did you observe how long it stayed suspended in the sky?”
“How long?” Upon hearing Salon’s reminder, Horace was instantly shocked. “I wouldn’t have noticed if you hadn’t said it! According to the start of the video, and then up till the report on the internet, it should be more than one hour…” Horace reacted. “Oh god, a remote control airplane half a meter in size stayed suspended in the sky for at least an hour! This…”
“You understand?” Salon nodded. “A plane half a meter in size, not counting the other spare parts, just the size of the battery alone would definitely be rather limited. Because we know that this thing is different from cars. Because cars travel on the ground, it doesn’t matter whether the batteries are heavy. But planes are different. Plane batteries definitely cannot be too heavy, or else, it’ll cause the body of the plane to be overweight and thus unable to fly. Think about it again. When the video of this plane appeared, how long was the period of time starting from when it was discovered, filmed, then uploaded to the internet? I presume that it would take at least half an hour. That means that this plane can fly in the sky for at least one and a half hours, and if it’s counted till the last moment where it was still suspended in the sky when it was bombed, then we can roughly say that the battery of this plane is sufficient for it to fly for 2 hours and longer!”
“Oh God!” Horace was really frightened this time. “A battery with limited weight can sustain this plane for two hours! The energy technology of Heavenly State has already advanced to such an extent?!”
“It can’t be said for sure.” Salon let out a long sigh. “This is actually just one of the aspects. Look at the body of the airplane again. Have you discovered anything peculiar?”
“Body of the airplane?” Horace stared for quite some time. “It doesn’t have a propeller!”
“Yes, exactly.” Salon nodded. “If it’s a UFO, it would be logical if it doesn’t have a propeller, but the problem is that this is a toy! Then, the only possibility is that the propeller has been hidden in the body. A plane half a meter in size and the propeller is hidden in the body, what does this mean? It means that the internal space used up by the spare parts in the plane is not a lot. But it just had to be that this thing could be suspended so stable in the sky, with extreme accuracy in its maneuvering. This is brilliant!”
“Yes yes yes,” Horace fiercely nodded his head. “This is truly brilliant. Even if we magnify the scale according to this airplane model, we’d probably not be able to make such a helicopter, right?”
“At least, it seems very difficult for now.” Salon helplessly said, “That’s why I said that this thing has quite a different significance to it. The current technology of Heavenly State is not to be belittled, not to be belittled!”
“Yes, to speak the truth, I’ve really been shocked by this.” Horace agreed. “What about the others? The remote control signal of this plane is very powerful too, right?”
“Quite powerful!” Salon said with extreme certainty. “Back then, the height that the airplane model flew to was about 1000 meters. Such accuracy in maneuvering from such a far distance, this is quite scary. I don’t even know how they managed to do that. Not to mention the controllable distance, just the accuracy in controlling the plane is the most difficult to manage. And the most terrifying thing is that such an advanced plane is actually a toy! It’s actually a remote-controlled airplane model! Initially, at the start, I thought that it was an unmanned surveillance aircraft from some laboratory that had been mistakenly bombed…”
Actually, what was most terrifying was exactly what Salon had said. Such an advanced plane was actually a remote-controlled toy!
How many toys in Heavenly State had reached such a horrifying technological level?
Thus, Horace was very scared as well. “Chief Salon, then what should we do next? Should we directly release Lucifer to take a look at Heavenly State? If things are left to continue developing like this, I’m afraid…”
“No!” Salon directly objected. “Before thoroughly understanding the other party, we definitely cannot release Lucifer! It’s just too risky! Lucifer is already very uncontrollable by himself. Moreover, Hong Dali’s luck is too good. If the two meet each other, we can’t say for sure what the consequences will be. So, for now, the best thing we can do is to not do anything and observe first what exactly will be started at that side!”
“Yes, this is truly a good idea.” Horace instantly agreed. “Then, I’ll just ask Catherine to observe them for now. Let’s not do anything else. Oh right, should we ask those people over there at Tianjing City to return?”
“Return! Ask them all to return!” Salon said with certainty, “Now, we can’t do anything to provoke them. Currently, Catherine is very safe, so it’s enough for her to be there alone. As for the others, we can just monitor the online network of Heavenly State and get first-hand information on the latest news.” After Salon had spoken, he sighed and mumbled, “It’s scary, Heavenly State has unknowingly become so powerful. Sigh, and I’d previously thought that they weren’t powerful in anything.”
“Me too.” Horace helplessly said, “Their technological advancement is just too fast, sir.”
…
Hong Dali lay on Li Nianwei’s lap and slept. Once he fell asleep, he slept all the way till four-plus PM in the afternoon. Feels so good!
Alas, just when he opened his eyes, Ling Xiaoyi knocked on the door and came in, softly saying, “Young Master, someone is looking for you.”
“Huh? Who’s looking for me? Do I know him?” Hong Dali curiously asked, “I haven’t made an appointment with anyone today…”
“The person says he’s the CEO of Hongda Real Estate Company, and he’s called Li Yuankai.” Ling Xiaoyi reported. “He says he wants to discuss with Young Master about matters regarding the land, and from what he said, it seems like he wants to purchase the land under your name.”
“Oh, buying land.” Hong Dali listlessly nodded. “Then I’ll go and see what he has to say… Ah, I’m really sleepy. I’ve just woken up and there’s already someone looking for me…”
