Currently, Liu Mingxin’s whole body was soaked in cold sweat as well.
Back then, he’d pondered over this issue for many days, but he just couldn’t understand why Hong Dali wanted him to start up the online gaming.
Now, he finally understood—this brat was just too mean, he didn’t even leak out any information previously about such a great idea.
The shrewd Liu Mingxin knew that this game would definitely become popular upon hearing this idea of Hong Dali.
Why? Because this game was balanced!
That’s right, balance!
This game looked very simple on the surface, with only one map and five people per side fighting against each other, without anything that was very unique. However, upon careful thought, he could realize the issue with this.
Balance!
Because people on both sides could choose their common heroes, or a strong and weak hero respectively. However, each side could choose different heroes to compensate for what they were lacking. Thus, when combined together, the abilities of both sides would almost be the same!
With the addition of a complicated topography and more useful and special equipment, if it was used during an E-Sports competition…
Oh god, Liu Mingxin could totally believe that once this game was released, it would definitely gain fame around the world instantly!
Why? Because this game had many methods of playing it, and the complicated topography in the game made it possible to have countless variations! Other things aside, didn’t Hong Dali already say that this game had bushes, meaning that the enemy would not be able to spot the hero hiding within the bushes!
How many tactics and methods would be able to be inspired from this aspect alone?
Moreover, according to what Hong Dali said, there would definitely be quite a number of heroes and types of heroes in this game, and with regards to his Draconic Continent, they could be classified into various types of occupations as well…
It was needless to say about what would happen further.
After all these things were said, what actually scared Liu Mingxin badly was not this.
The true reason behind why he was scared was that he recalled Hong Dali’s character.
He was definitely the embodiment of the God of Fortune! With his large amount of spending, those top-notch professional gamers over at his Draconic Continent would definitely come to be recruited by him. Moreover, there was the appearance of the superfamily, Grand League, in his game. Thus, by collaborating with him in setting up a gaming fest, that was totally equivalent to personally handing the most elite group of gamers in his game over to him!
Oh no, and he’d been so happy to help him count his money!
Thus, this time, Liu Mingxin truly conceded. “In future, I won’t fight with Young Master Dali anymore. This brat is too mean, too evil…”
Fortunately, Hong Dali now had actually pulled him along into starting this game up. Liu Mingxin was rather satisfied. Seems like there was indeed a future by working with Young Master Dali. Whoever maintained good relations with him would become prosperous, and whoever went against him would be unlucky!
“That, Young Master Dali,” Liu Mingxin carefully asked. “This game, about how many heroes will there be in total?”
“How many heroes?” Hong Dali touched his chin. “I haven’t decided yet, let’s set it at 70 to 80 of them first. Sister Zishan is currently drawing out the characters, the number she manages to draw out will be the number of heroes we’ll create.”
Liu Mingxin’s tears rained down his face.
Did you see that? This brat had silently started the drawing of the characters already…
As the few of them were speaking, Xiao Ming timidly came over and said in a small voice, “Young Master Liu, I, I should go back now. I’m afraid the children will get anxious if I stay here for too long…”
Speaking of which, it was already 9:00 PM now. It was time to go back.
“Alright, I’ll send you back right away.” Liu Mingxin smiled and instantly stood up. Suddenly, he asked Hong Dali, “Young Master Dali, do you want to come along too? The children had always wanted to see you.”
“Ah? Sure!” Hong Dali was instantly excited. “Let’s go, bring me to see those children!”
Speaking of which, before his transmigration, he was an orphan himself. Thus, he got especially close to orphans. This was his nature, and two lifetimes could not change that.
“In that case, let’s go now!” Liu Mingxin instructed his brother, Liu Mingcheng. “Mingcheng, you bring Young Master Dali along, I’ll drive Xiao Ming.”
“Sure!” Liu Mingcheng instantly invited Hong Dali. “Young Master Dali, if you don’t mind, you can ride in my car. My brother’s car only has space for two people.”
“OK!” Hong Dali naturally wouldn’t play gooseberry. Thus, he instantly agreed. “Then let’s go!”
Four people and two cars instantly set off.
During the journey, Liu Mingcheng apologized to Hong Dali as he drove. “Young Master Dali, I was too petty last time in school. Please don’t take that to heart, I’m just like that as a person. Back then, I thought of the relationship between our two families… Heh heh, it’s just like that.”
“Ah, it’s fine, it’s all over now.” Speaking of which, Hong Dali really didn’t know what exactly Liu Mingcheng had done to him. Actually, this guy was a rather tragic person as well. His car had been wrecked by himself, and he’d lost face because of himself too, and in the end, he still needed to apologize for himself…
“Hehe, as expected, Young Master Dali is decisive!” Liu Mingcheng was truly grateful. “In future, just let me know if you have any problems! My grandfather could recover all because of Young Master Dali. I won’t say any more rubbish. If not, it’ll make me look pretentious.”
“That should be the way…” Hong Dali grinned and said, “What use is there to talk about that nonsense.”
Liu Mingcheng sheepishly smiled. “Yes, yes, Young Master Dali is just so magnanimous, heh heh.”
While they were still talking, they had reached the place where Liu Mingxin’s adopted orphans stayed at. Once he got off the car, Hong Dali looked at his surroundings and expressed his dissatisfaction. “I say, Old Liu, you have such a high status yet you let the children stay in such a place…”
Liu Mingxin almost choked to death upon hearing Hong Dali’s words. Do you think everyone squanders like you? This is already quite good! Of course, he didn’t dare to say this…
After they’d parked their cars, they went up the stairs and very quickly reached the main door. Xiao Ming took the keys out to open the door, and once Hong Dali entered, he was stunned. The apartment was about 800 square meters and above, and it was an ordinary type of apartment. Of course, this didn’t matter. What mattered most was that just in front of him, there was currently a little girl very dependably teaching the other five children in tracing the Chinese characters!
“This little lolita… She’s only about 7 or 8 years old right…” Hong Dali was stunned. “She can take care of children just at this age? This girl is really… far too mature!”
Just then, the little girl heard the sound of the door opening and was surprised as she turned her head around. Once she saw Liu Mingxin, she instantly stood up, smiled and said, “Big Bro Liu, you’re back!”
Hong Dali carefully stared at this little girl, and it had to be admitted, she was rather pretty.
A pair of large dark brown eyes like that of young girls in cartoons, with a small face that was delicate and beautiful—she was extremely cute. Her short hair that touched her shoulders had some natural brown in it under the shining of the light, and there was also a tinge of cute boyishness to her.
On her hair was a hairclip, and she wore an adorable piece of white woolen sweater and a mini skirt that was gray in color. It was the beginning of summer in June, and the girl wore a pair of white socks on her feet, and her slender body shape made her look rather adorable.
She was only 7 or 8 years old and was still rather chubby, but her height was already close to 1.4 meters. Due to her height, her skirt appeared rather short, exposing half of her thighs and her calves…
What a cute lolita!
Hong Dali grinned as he greeted. “Little girl, what’s your name?”
“Ah?” Her pair of big and bright eyes stared at Hong Dali. Suddenly, she smiled and said, “You’re Big Bro Dali, right? I’m Yu Meiqin! Hello, Big Bro Dali. Big Bro Liu often tell us stories about you!”
Ohh, Yu Meiqin, this name sounds quite nice, but why do I feel that it’s a little familiar…
This felt strange. Hong Dali smiled and asked, “Sister Meiqin, what did Big Bro Liu tell you about me, then?”
“Big Bro Liu said,” Yu Meiqin said methodically, like a little adult. “Big Bro Liu said you are a super superprodigal with super good luck!”
“Old Liu…” Hong Dali was instantly embarrassed. Soon after, he turned expressionlessly towards Liu Mingxin. “Do you usually teach children like that…”
“Hahahaha…” Liu Mingxin’s forehead brimmed with sweat. “This… it was to make the children happy, haha…”
The always serious looking and poker-faced Liu Mingxin became a little flustered.
“En.” Hong Dali looked at the other children. “Speaking of which, these children should have reached the age of schooling. How about it, by then, get them all to come and study at my New Lanxiang Campus City. Both their food and lodging will be free of charge!”
Wait a minute, Yu Meiqin? Campus City?
Hong Dali stared at the little lass in front of him as if he’d seen a ghost. Could this be the legendary Sister Canon(Misaka Mikoto)?!
Upon hearing Hong Dali asking her to go and study at his school, Yu Meiqin instantly jumped with excitement, as she smiled and said, “Big Bro Dali, that’s so nice of you! Big Bro Liu was still troubled about where we should study, but now we’ll be going to your school. That’s great!”
Wasn’t that a given?
Hong Dali laughed heartily. “En, no problem, no problem! Everybody will go, all of you!”
Facing these few orphans made Hong Dali’s mood unexpectedly good. Back then, when he was on Earth, everyone in the orphanage was very nice to him. Unfortunately, now that he had transmigrated, it seemed that there would no longer be any hope of repaying those good friends. Thus, he could only treat these few children better instead.
In the end, he couldn’t find anything despite searching throughout his body. Alas, he could only helplessly shrug. “Alright, I was in a hurry when I left today, so I didn’t bring anything with me—not even money—so I can’t even give out red packets now…” As he spoke, he looked at Liu Mingxin. “Old Liu, why don’t you help me distribute red packets to these few little kids!” This fellow always had his lackeys by his side when he went out, and now that his lackeys weren’t here, he really didn’t have any choice.
“Hehe, Young Master Dali must be kidding,” Liu Mingxin smiled and said, “You letting them attend school at your side is already the biggest red packet. Moreover, they’re still young, so there’s no need for them to have so much money with them.”
“That’s true…” Hong Dali thought for a while. It really might not be a good thing for little children to have too much money on them. Thus, he decisively changed his mind and said, “Then, I’ll not give out red packets today. After all of you start attending school I’ll give them to you, alright?”
“Alright!” The few little kids answered in unison. Yu Meiqin pulled Hong Dali’s hand and coyly said, “Big Bro Dali, then can you tell us about your story?”
“My story?” Hong Dali grinned and nodded. “OK!”
