Now that everything had been explained, it was naturally time to test whether this device was useful or not.
Therefore, the mysterious man naturally and excitedly became the guinea pig for the first experiment. According to Dr. Ai Hui, after turning on the switch for the smaller device, the mysterious man held it in his hand.
Then, the three of them held their breath and stared at the monitor of the luck detector device.
Amazingly, after the mysterious man held the detection device, just a short while later, the probing needle on the monitor started to tremble and slowly raised. After passing through the first three unlucky levels, it started to speed up, and when it finally stopped, the luck detected was… Lucky Life.
“Yup, not bad.” The mystery man felt quite satisfied with this quite normal luck level. “At least this shows that my luck is not bad, haha.”
Lucky Life, the sixth level out of the thirteen levels. Although it wasn’t very high, it was not low either. Also, such a thing as luck wouldn’t always be maintained at the highest level, so it was indeed not bad when his luck was already at this level at normal times.
“Let me try, let me try!” The Bureau Chief felt quite interested and wanted to try, too. “Let’s see how my luck is like.”
Very quickly, the mysterious man passed the detection device to the Bureau Chief. The Bureau Chief held it in his hand and the probing needle on the luck detection instrument started to tremble and move again.
Compared to his superior, the Bureau Chief wasn’t too far off. His luck was Rewarding Life.
“Haha, not bad, that’s good enough!” The Bureau Chief was content. “Looks like my luck is indeed not bad. Maybe I should go buy some lottery and try my luck?”
“Haha, it’s not like you lack money.” The mysterious man laughed. “Our luck shouldn’t differ by too much, the more crucial thing is Hong Dali’s luck. What do you think his luck level is?”
“My guess is that his luck level is Continuous Good Luck. I think this one is more likely!” The Bureau Chief touched his chin and slowly said, “This little rascal’s luck has always been quite good, his luck level definitely isn’t low.”
“Yup, I think so too.” The mysterious man thought for a while and said, “Oh right, what is the detection range for this device?”
“It can receive the signals within a 50-kilometer range.” Dr. Ai Hui replied, “However, the signal is strongest and most accurate within five kilometers. Within this range, the accuracy can be guaranteed.”
“OK!” The mysterious man nodded and passed the device to the Bureau Chief. “Go and hand this to Hong Dali.”
“Yup, OK. I shall be leaving now.” The Bureau Chief hurriedly agreed and asked, “Oh right, the Holy Garments are ready. Shall I send some over to him, too?”
“OK.” The mysterious man instantly ordered. “Send it to New Lanxiang, I shall go and see what level is this kid’s luck really at!”
…
Merika, Hexagon Building.
Salon sat in the office and looked at the report on the table, slapping the table as he did so. “Hahaha, this prodigal Hong Dali actually said that he wanted to spend two billion to hire teachers for education, one-on-one education! Even though his luck is good, it isn’t possible for it to withstand this degree of squandering, hahaha!”
Defense Minister Itra sat with one leg on top of the other, laughed, and said, “This big prodigal, he always squanders without considering the consequences. Although his luck helped him earn quite a bit last time, he will still probably lose all of his money this time going into the education industry.”
“Yup, he will be spending at least two billion just on education alone, and there’s also the two aircraft carriers which cost 1.5 billion. The annual maintenance for them will cost at least 200 million, plus there is still the cost of modifying and altering them. Haha, even if his family is wealthy, they can’t withstand such a burden!” Salon’s mood was obviously quite good. “Do you think that we are overreacting by placing such emphasis on him? I keep feeling that he’s just playing and never considers about earning money. Last time, it’s just because his luck is good, so he never loses money. This time, no matter how I look at it, I think he’s overdoing it.”
“You are right, he really thinks that his luck is invincible.” Itra laughed again and slowly said, “With his luck, he will probably not lose money if he squanders on a small scale and might have some prospect in the entertainment industry that he is good at. However, he actually wants to go into the education sector. What’s more, a technical school at that. This really makes me laugh my teeth out.”
“Yup, indeed.” Salon suddenly looked at the documents again and said, “Do you think that there may be something wrong with this New Lanxiang Vocational School? If not, why would he spend so much money on it?”
“I don’t think so.” Itra shook his head and said, “What other purposes can a technical school hide? This dude just likes to squander, that’s all. Speaking of which, he did indeed earn quite a bit last time and is probably hoping to earn money this time as well, therefore spending so much on it. But this is education, he’s definitely just wasting his money by spending so much on it. It’s not possible for him to earn it back.”
“Yup, that’s true.” Salon nodded and suddenly thought about the incident where their confidential server was hacked into previously. He rubbed his temple and fiercely said, “Last time when that hacker left the note that the students from the New Lanxiang Vocational School came here for a visit on our server, that was really an insult to our intelligence!”
Speaking of which, if Salon knew that it really was New Lanxiang who did it, one would wonder what his face would look like…
“Yes, this matter is really detestable.” Itra ferociously extinguished his cigarette butt and said, “Oh right, is there any news on the Angel of Misfortune? I saw him post a few Weibos, but Hong Dali is still living very normally now.”
Naturally, Merika always kept tabs on the Angel of Misfortune. Therefore, they all felt quite weird that Hong Dali was still alive and kicking and not affected at all.
“Hong Dali’s luck has always been quite good.” Salon shook his head and said, “Maybe the Angel of Misfortune’s curse has no effect on him. It’s hard to say. Therefore, we can’t just wait for misfortune to fall on him. Has the two aircraft carriers been tampered with?”
“Of course.” Mentioning this, Itra gave a sinister laugh. “We tampered with the nuclear reactor. Once he enters the sea, at the deepest part of the ocean, we can hire mercenaries to rob him. I believe that they will be very willing to do this job. After the mercenaries take control of the aircraft carrier, we can just press the remote control device. By that time, hehe…”
“For the sake of killing Hong Dali, we are really overreacting, hehe.” Salon helplessly shook his head. “We’re wasting a lot of resources and manpower on him.”
It was no wonder that he felt weird. Doing so many things just for the sake of killing one prodigal, no one would believe them even if they told this to others.
“What other choice do we have, who asked him to make so many advanced technologies.” Itra leaned on the sofa and slowly said, “Virtual Reality Projection, Holographic Projection Technology, and recently, I heard he is making some Precise Voice Control System. Any one of these things would be enough to cause us a headache. If we don’t make a move soon, God knows what other things he will come up with.”
“That’s true.” Salon agreed and said, “The problem is that if the nuclear reactor explodes, it will be hard for us to push the blame away. If Heavenly State really wants to seek our trouble, we will be in a difficult spot, too.”
“What’s there to fear, just say that it was the mercenaries who blew up the ship. There won’t be anyone left to attest against us anyway.” Itra wasn’t concerned about this issue.
Whatever the case, for Merika, all potential threats that would pose an influence to their rank and power must be eliminated.
As for whether their methods were despicable or not… This world was still ruled by the winners, after all; methods were not important. Especially when it was for the benefit of their Nation, nothing could be considered overboard.
Therefore, Hong Dali must die!
…
Heavenly State, Chenhui Building.
The Bureau Chief stood at the entrance to the Photon Force Laboratory and took in a deep breath.
He was about to detect what Hong Dali’s luck level was, so he was feeling quite perturbed now. After all, they would be eager to know what it was when it was still unknown yet, but once his luck level was known, he might feel partly worried.
What if Hong Dali’s luck wasn’t as good as they had thought? What if his luck level fluctuated too much? What if Hong Dali was unwilling to wear or hold the detection device?
He was worried sick!
But whatever the case, he still had to do his job. Whether Hong Dali’s luck was good or not, that was only one aspect. The Bureau Chief was also here to give Hong Dali the Holy Garments. This stuff could only be considered an ordinary exoskeleton armor now, but it would be different once Hong Dali modified it!
Therefore, the Bureau Chief only hesitated for a while before pushing open the door to the Photon Force Laboratory.
But once he went in, the Bureau Chief was stunned.
A robot with only one arm and four wheels rolled over and spoke in a metallic voice that seemed to come from a classic sci-fi movie: “Hello, welcome. The Young Master is now having his afternoon nap. I am his personal assistant, Running Dog. Please show me your identification or state your purpose here. If not, you will be attacked by 30,000 voltage electricity. You only have 10 seconds, please act fast.”
This… What situation is this!? A personal robot assistant!? And its name is Running Dog!?
The Bureau Chief’s head was full of sweat, but he knew that Lin Chuyin was definitely the one who invented this machine and it was definitely speaking the truth. He hurriedly replied, “I’m the Bureau Chief, did Hong Dali mention me before to you?”
“Bureau Chief, please wait a moment.” Running Dog paused for a while and then quickly replied, “It’s Uncle Chief, please enter.”
Why is a robot like you calling me Uncle…
The Bureau Chief was full of sweat as he hurriedly walked in. “Running Dog, were you developed recently?”
Running Dog: “Yes. After the Young Master created me, I became his personal assistant. Of course, I am the assistant of an assistant, my superior is Miss Ling Xiaoyi.”
“Then, Running Dog, what are you capable of doing?” The Bureau Chief laughed and asked.
Then, Running Dog’s next words caused the Bureau Chief to totally break down.
Running Dog said, “I know how to squander!”
