6 PM that night, the Eleventh Society held a press conference.
At the conference, Zhou Deye made an important speech pointing out the flaws of the Eleventh Society and at the same time expressed that there was little news of them previously because they never publicized on it. Of course, no one knew whether that was true or false, but all those people who needed help and were posted online had all not received any help from them before…
Yup, that wasn’t important since the masses didn’t understand this anyway.
Everyone only knew that at the conference, Zhou Deye made a very solemn promise.
He expressed that because the earthquake in Hei An province caused quite a large casualty rate, the Eleventh Society would be sending over 400,000 yuan worth of resources to support them, and hoped that the masses would supervise them.
The commoners in Heavenly State were just like this—if you don’t treat them well, they wouldn’t remember for long. If you treat them well, they would remember it to heart.
Therefore, whatever the case, at least after this press conference, the prestige of the Eleventh Society did indeed increase by quite a lot. At least, not as many people were scolding them online anymore.
After Zhou Deye went back to his office, wiped his cold sweat and muttered, “The reputation of the Eleventh Society is finally stabilized now, that was not easy! This bastard Hong Dali, he’s really too troublesome! If I didn’t salvage our reputation, the Eleventh Society would be completely incapacitated!”
…
Weian Province Medical University Affiliated Hospital.
After Zhang Yi took little Bai Hechou away, Hong Dali didn’t have any children to play with and could only prepare to rest for the day.
Luckily, this hospital was still quite spacious—at least the VIP-grade rooms weren’t full it, he could just make the most of it here…
“Young Master.” Ling Xiaoyi smiled as she knocked and came in. She walked in front of Hong Dali and softly said, “The capital city military has sent over the latest news. They have transported all of the equipment for the satellite to Second Fish, and all of the handing over process has been completed.”
As she spoke up to this point, she couldn’t help but feel like laughing.
The aircraft carriers were named Big Fish and Second Fish, these names were really… Luckily, Hong Dali was still quite serious when he named Bai Hechou. If not, Xiao Bai’s mood wouldn’t be very good when he grew up…
“Oh, not bad!” Hong Dali’s eyes instantly lit up. “Running Dog No.3 should be on Second Fish, right? Ask him to send over the signal. If possible, directly connect it to my smartphone and make an application or something, so that I can just tap on it to control it. That will save a lot of trouble.”
This fellow’s highest aim was to save trouble in whatever he did, that’s why people said that lazy people changed the world…
“This…” Ling Xiaoyi hesitated for a while and said, “I will ask Running Dog No.3 to try its best.”
“Yup. Oh right, help me call that Ferguson who’s good at chasing girls here.” Hong Dali grinned and said, “His computer skills are not bad, let’s see what he can do with the satellite.”
“Okay, Young Master.”
After Ling Xiaoyi went out, Li Nianwei gently helped Hong Dali massage his temples and said, “Young Master, now that you have bought the satellite, what do you plan to do with it? This should be considered strategic military equipment, right?”
“What else can I do with it, let’s use it to see which places have small cats and dogs that need help, or pitiful children in need of aid and such.” Hong Dali expressed that this wasn’t a question for him at all. “This way, it’s more convenient for us to find them.”
Li Nianwei: “…”
This was a military satellite, he was just going to use it for this purpose!?
“I’m going to rest for a while.” Hong Dali changed to a more comfortable position and said, “Wake me up when Ferguson gets here.”
After the entire room went quiet, Hong Dali hurriedly pulled out the System’s interface. Now that the handing over of the satellite was completed, he should have spent quite a lot of money, so he hurriedly went to see what good stuff was there to be exchanged for.
Speaking of which, he hadn’t exchanged anything in a long time, he should indeed buck up on this…
“System.” Hong Dali pulled out the Great Prodigal System and asked, “How many attribute points do I have now?”
The System cold metallic voice sounded: “Currently, Host has 284 attribute points. Please choose what you want to exchange.”
Looking at the various columns, Hong Dali touched his chin and said, “I don’t really lack abilities and survival now. Instead, I haven’t looked at the technological branch for quite a while. I wonder what’s in there now… Let’s exchange some technology first!”
“Analyzing in progress, please wait for a moment.” Ten attribute points were deducted to activate this side branch, then the System started analyzing.
Very quickly, the System finished analyzing and said, “Current exchangeable blueprint: ‘Small High-energy Electronic Collision Machine’. 500 attribute points required. (Addition explanation: This blueprint can be upgraded.)”
“High-energy Electronic Collision Machine: There are countless high-energy electrons in the universe. As a universal energy source of the universe, the High-energy Electronic Collision Machine can separate the protons and electrons of hydrogen atoms, and then accelerate the separated electrons into high-energy electrons, thus generating a huge amount of energy.”
Hong Dali was instantly covered in tears. He was completely astonished!
Energy! Huge amount of energy! What the heck! This was what I have been waiting for! With this, I finally have a suitable energy source for my Mechanical Man! I can finally fly!
Then, I can freely run around the entire world! I can go wherever I want to!
This blueprint is too incredible. Of course, the crucial problem is that the amount of attribute points needed is too incredible—that’s 500 attribute points. I can only gain one attribute point every time I squander 10 million. 500 attribute points means I need to squander five billion yuan! Even if I minus away the current 274 attribute points, I still need another 226 attribute points, which means 2.26 billion!
What the heck, this isn’t a small amount… Lucky I am wealthy enough!
Squander! I must decisively squander! I must decisively squander more!
Once I exchange this blueprint, I can give one Mechanical Holy Garment to all my family members and close friends. I shall go to the south pole to view penguins today and go to the north pole to view polar bears tomorrow! The next day, I shall go to the bottom of the pacific ocean to play with fishes!
Brouhahahahaha! Just thinking about it makes me excited!
Yet, just as Hong Dali was laughing, someone suddenly poked his arm and Ferguson’s voice sounded. “Young Master, what are you laughing at? I heard that you have already bought the satellite? Can I try it?”
“Oh, nothing much.” Hong Dali wiped away the saliva at the corner of his mouth and sat up. He smiled and said, “You are here? Quick, contact Running Dog No.3 and see if we can connect to the satellite from here. We must find a good place to go and squander!”
“OK!” Hearing his words, Lucifer felt excited.
To be honest, being a hacker geek with an intelligence quotient of more than 180, Lucifer dreamed about getting a satellite and play with it. But the problem was, this wasn’t something that he could easily get just because he wanted to.
When he was locked in the small room in the Hexagon building, not to mention a satellite, just being able to connect to the internet alone was already good enough for him. He never thought that after he left Merika and met Hong Dali, he instead really got a satellite to play with. This caused him to be very excited.
He directly opened the laptop and connected to Running Dog No.3. Very quickly, Running Dog No.3 sent over the temporary application for the satellite—because this was made in a rush, there were a lot of functions not usable yet, but Hong Dali wasn’t really concerned about that—it was enough for him just to be able to see the images on the ground. He didn’t plan to use the satellite to do some big activity anyway, he just wanted to earn more attribute points!
By this time, the other people all heard of this and came up behind them too. Lucifer opened the application and very quickly, a very detailed map was displayed on the laptop screen.
This map wasn’t like those that could be found online, those that were altered before. This map was what the satellite captured in real-time—the clouds were even moving on the map, it was very beautiful!
“Wow!” Tang Muxin exclaimed and said, “Dali, this is beautiful!”
“That’s for sure.” Hong Dali laughed and nodded. “Take a look at Tianjing City first. That’s my base. See what extent is my sci-fi town built to now!”
“OK, no problem!” Lucifer instantly started altering the scale and location of the images and very quickly found the sci-fi town.
Seeing the current image of the sci-fi town displayed on the screen, even Hong Dali was a bit astonished.
The current sci-fi town had numerous buildings constructed in it now. Residential quarters, shopping centers, government buildings, flat roads, and airports were all connected one by one. If they only looked at the appearance, the technology of this place was definitely at least a hundred years ahead of the other places in this world!
Especially the Dalaran technological tower in the center of New Lanxiang, it was already 50 meters tall now—of course, there was only the scaffolding.
After all, this thing was too huge, it would require a few years to complete it…
All the buildings’ tops were installed with solar batteries. It wasn’t an overstatement to say that with such a scale of solar batteries, it was enough to supply all of the power needed during daylight!
Of course, they couldn’t see inside the buildings to observe the specific details—most of the technology that Hong Dali made belonged to indoor equipment, the satellite couldn’t see inside, so this was a small disappointment.
“It’s not bad.” Of course, Hong Dali didn’t mind this at all. He beamed with delight and said, “Looks like I didn’t buy this satellite in vain, hehe!”
Did you spend two-plus billion on the satellite just to see this…
After watching it for a while, Hong Dali sniffled and said, “Xiaoyi, is there any other places worth going? I want to go and squander! I want to go and spend money! We have a satellite now, it’s more convenient to find such a place, hehe!”
“There is indeed one.” Ling Xiaoyi looked at her smartphone, but her expression was a bit awkward. “But the people from the Eleventh Society have already said that they would be going there, it wouldn’t be nice for us to go too, right?”
The Eleventh Society’s intention was very obvious, they already said that they were going to do charity and already had a target, so others shouldn’t fight with them…
But the problem was, Hong Dali wasn’t someone who would be concerned with that. He answered in a matter-of-fact manner, “Didn’t they said that there’s no too late or too early in doing charity. I approve of this saying too, so we shall go play our own part… Use the satellite to check what the place is like first!”
Ling Xiaoyi: “…”
Tang Muxin: “…”
Li Nianwei: “…”
Lucifer: “…”
This slap on the faces of the Eleventh Society this time was marvelous!
