Of course, Hong Dali didn’t know this, but the Bureau Chief did.
Honestly speaking, the Bureau Chief felt Graham was quite pitiful now. He could have compared himself to anyone else, but why did he have to compare himself to the inhuman Hong Dali?
“Mr. Graham, don’t be too sad.” The Bureau Chief patted Graham’s shoulder in pity. “Don’t compare yourself with Hong Dali, this fellow is different from normal humans, anyone who compares themselves to him would end up depressed. This has been proven many times, I am already used to it…”
How could he not be used to it? Hong Dali even used the Dali Beans which were worth 10,000 Galaxy Dollars each as snacks. Yup, he mustn’t let them know of this news yet to prevent them from being scared to the point of peeing in their pants. That wouldn’t be good…
“I really had an eye-opener today…” Graham still hadn’t recovered from the setback. “You guys are just from a Small Planet and have only just connected to the Milky Way Virtual Network, but why do you guys have so many good stuff? Why is that so…”
Why was that so?
This was a good question! The Bureau Chief felt that he should research on this problem in detail! Therefore, he hurriedly said, “Yup, I am not too sure why also—sigh, Dali, looking at the time, we should return back home to eat, right? Saying so, he signaled with his eyes—little rascal, we received too much information today, hurry up and logout to digest the news!
“Oh, alright…” Hong Dali was a bit tired from playing too. He stood up and nodded. “Then, let’s all go back home and eat first. Everyone assemble, see if there’s anyone missing. If not, let’s go back now.” After saying this, Hong Dali didn’t forget to said towards Graham, “Uncle Graham, you are welcomed to visit our Planet. After you reached, I shall bring you to see some good stuff, hehe!”
You mean to ask us to actively go and seek our death, is that right?
Graham subconsciously wanted to reject, but after thinking over it carefully, he felt that this Hong Dali seemed to be quite easygoing. If he went to visit him, Hong Dali probably wouldn’t try to kill him immediately upon their first meeting, right? Since they were already here, they couldn’t just leave like that. They had already spent 2.4 million in traveling here, even if there was a high risk, they needed to get something back!
“OK!” Graham violently nodded and said, “Since that’s the case, I will ask Deca to go first. We should be arriving in two to three days.”
“Brother Deca is coming!” Hearing this, Hong Dali’s eyes lit up. “Haha, that would be great, I shall bring you to take a look at my mount! This time, there’s finally something fun to play, hehe.”
“O… Okay…” Deca’s face turned white from fear—*will they capture me if I go over? But judging from Hong Dali’s character, that shouldn’t be the case. Since my safety isn’t a concern, then I shall just go. *”Hehe, Brother Dali, after I go to your place, you are not allowed to scare me. I am not very brave…”
“Don’t worry.” Hong Dali grinned and nodded. “After you come, I shall share a bit of my snack with you, hehe.”
Sharing snacks with their guests, is this a special custom on Earth? Deca didn’t think too much about it and just nodded. “Alright then. After I return, I shall take a small space shuttle to go and find you first. This one is suitable for short-distance travel and faster than a starship. Oh right, how do I find you after I arrive?”
This was quite a problem as to how to find Hong Dali.
In this world, they had the communicator, so there wasn’t much problem. But in the real world, Hong Dali didn’t have any communicator that he could give to Deca.
“Hm… Let’s do it this way.” Hong Dali thought for a while and said, “I shall draw you a map of the world…” After saying this, he also felt that his drawing wasn’t very reliable, even God probably couldn’t tell what he was drawing. Therefore, he decisively changed his words. “Sister Xiaoyi, draw him a map of the world. I reckon that we will be going to the Bermuda Triangle to explore, just ask Brother Deca to find us there.”
The Bermuda Triangle was quite easy to recognize from the world map. A triangle area coupled with Hong Dali’s aircraft carrier Big Fish (Second Fish was at Sea Turtle Island), it should be quite easy to recognize.
“Okay, Young Master.” Ling Xiaoyi smiled and replied, “I shall begin now.”
After drawing the world map, Hong Dali instructed. “Brother Deca, after you landed on Earth, if you found the place but don’t see me, just… Yup, just find a place and explore around. If you really can’t find me, just go to my house first. Yup, it’s at this chicken’s neck, here, just mention Hong Dali and you should be able to contact me…”
Although this method required quite a lot of imagining, Deca was still quite clever. He basically understood what Hong Dali meant. He nodded and said, “Okay, no problem, I shall go there first then see the situation. If I really can’t find you, I shall wait for you in this world two days later if I get lost.”
This was quite a good idea too. They instantly decided on a certain time to meet in this world if they couldn’t contact each other before that.
Very quickly, after leaving the virtual world, Hong Dali and the rest climbed out of the Holographic Gaming Chamber.
They received quite a lot of information today. Those other matters regarding the virtual world were still not so crucial, the most important news was about the Five Element Wheel.
Something that could instantly turn people into elemental revolving magicians that had a net worth of at least 20 million in the virtual world was quite scary. Although they weren’t sure if there was any difference between a magician that was trained into one and a magician that became one because of the Five Element Wheel, the history of this Five Element Wheel really caused them to be very curious.
“Little rascal, don’t run!” The Bureau Chief pulled back Hong Dali, who was planning to run away and sleep. He anxiously said, “Tell me first where you got the Five Element Wheel items!”
“About this…” Hong Dali listlessly said, “I am really sleepy now…”
“Sleep after you tell me!” The Bureau Chief anxiously said, “Aren’t you in the least bit curious of such a formidable thing?”
“What should I be curious for, it’s not like it will fly away…” Hong Dali gave a long yawn and listlessly said, “Never mind, Uncle Chief, just ask whatever you want to know. I will just tell you, OK…” Seeing the Bureau Chief’s expression, Hong Dali knew that he wouldn’t be able to leave unless he told him everything he wanted to know. So he better just hurry up and tell the Bureau Chief so he could go and sleep…
“Let’s go through it one by one.” The Bureau Chief pulled over Tang Muxin. “Xinxin’s Clear Water Ring…”
“It’s my family’s heirloom.” Hong Dali sniffled and said, “My Mum gave it to her, supposedly passed down from her ancestors. Whatever the case, I have no idea where this thing came from originally.”
Alright, it looks like this item that was passed down as a family heirloom can’t be traced. The Bureau Chief asked again, “Then this Dark Gold Ear Ring… Never mind, even I know that you bought this from an auction. As for exactly where it was discovered, I reckon that there won’t be any clue too. Hm, what about Zhang Yi’s Hell-Fire Pearl? Where is it from?”
“An undersea shipwreck.” Hong Dali slowly said, “The one from the antiques that Brother Squid helped to carry up.”
Fine, another clueless one. Looks like this one can’t be traced too.
“Then, this ring?” The Bureau Chief pointed at Lin Chuyin and asked, “Where is this one from?”
“This one?” Hong Dali carefully thought for a while and said, “I think it’s from the outer area of Tianjing Mountain, the place where the Dali Beans were discovered. I saw that this was in the shape of a ring, so I picked it up. Is there anything special there?”
“Currently, we didn’t discover anything special.” The Bureau Chief helplessly shook his head.
The outer area of Tianjing Mountain, in the cave where the Dali Beans were discovered, they had already combed through the place and the surrounding area, but they didn’t discover anything else. After all, that place was the entrance to the underground military base under New Lanxiang. The geological expert had long ago checked the place thoroughly—unfortunately, they didn’t discover anything else special.
Now, only the last one was left. The Bureau Chief pointed at the bracelet on Hong Dali’s wrist and asked, “Then, what about this bracelet?”
“This one?” Hong Dali touched his chin and thought for a long while, before he was finally invigorated and said, “Huh, speaking of which, this bracelet seems to be from that time when we were filming ‘Where Are We Going, Dad’. I found it in the forest behind Water Spirit Village. Uncle Chief, you have no idea how obedient the animals there were. This bracelet was a present from one of the monkeys…”
Water Spirit Village! The forest in the mountain behind it! A present from a monkey!
This time, the Bureau Chief was instantly invigorated. He loudly said, “Dali, hahaha, you are really something! Water Spirit Village! It’s been a long time before this place was mentioned again, I almost forgot about this matter!”
“Ah? What matter?” Hearing the Bureau Chief’s words, everyone was surprised.
This Hong Dali could even find one of the Five Element Wheel in the forest behind a village? And it was a present from a monkey? Then, what other matters were there last time?
“Dali, do you still remember when you bought over the Water Spirit Village.” The Bureau Chief was extremely excited and continued to walk in circles. “When you bought over Water Spirit Village, our country was planning to build a railway through the place, but after you bought the village, we shelved the project. Do you still remember?”
Once the Bureau Chief mentioned this, Hong Dali and the rest all remembered this issue.
The reason they went to Water Spirit Village was to do the shooting for “Where Are We Going, Dad”. But once they alighted the helicopter, Hong Dali said that he wanted to buy the village. At that time, they couldn’t understand why he suddenly wanted to buy the village. But now, it looked like this fellow obviously had an intuition that this Water Spirit Village was worth a lot!
“Hahaha, fortunately, fortunately!” The Bureau Chief became more and more excited as he spoke. He laughed, smiled and said, “That time, we thought that since whatever you buy, you will earn from it, so we didn’t touch the Water Spirit Village till now! Now, it seems that the secret behind the Five Element Wheel must be hidden there! Definitely! This must be the case!”
Water Spirit Village! Five Element Wheel! The monkeys in the mountains!
Hearing this, everyone was frightened—this fellow Hong Dali, wasn’t he too miraculous? Things actually turned out this way!?
“Huh? Hearing you say this, I really discovered something.” Hong Dali opened his eyes wide and looked at the Bureau Chief. “Uncle Chief, this Jade Wood bracelet can chase away mosquitoes. At first, I didn’t think much about it. But now, it looks like this bracelet really came from there! Then, Uncle Chief.” Hong Dali solemnly said, “I shall hand over the mission to explore Water Spirit Village to you…”
