Chapter 770 - As a Parent

He would increase little Bai Hechou’s lifespan first… speaking of which, he could only add it in years, it could not be split any further into months…

He would just add one year for now. It was not good for the kid to grow up too fast. He should at least have a childhood, right? He would add one year first. He had the points anyway, he could add on to his lifespan slowly later on.

“Add one year to Bai Hechou’s lifespan.” Hong Dali instructed the System. “Also, add ten years each for my parents!”

It was okay to add less for Little Bai Hechou now, he would add more for him in a year. There was no hurry. But his parents were getting old, he had to add more for them.

Soon, the System’s voice sounded, “Completed increasing the lifespan of targeted people.”

That was it.

“Don’t worry.” Hong Dali smiled at Geezer Wang. “I will take care of it. My godson has to slow down his growth. For now, you can just continue to teach him.”

Hong Dali was usually quite apathetic, but he was reliable when he needed to be. Since he had said so, there should be no problem.

Geezer Wang nodded. “Okay. In that case, I will stop worrying since Young Master Dali has ways to solve the problem.”

By now, everyone had caught up with their family. Everyone was reassured since they were getting along well at the Galaxy Alliance Center and could return for a visit if they wanted to. Soon, the Bureau Chief coughed and said, “Alright, since everyone has already met their family, if you have finished catching up, return home first. We still have official matters to discuss.”

Everyone knew the Bureau Chief’s position and hurried off. Most importantly, they had been assured of their family member’s safety. That was what mattered.

Before long, the entire hall was empty except for Hong Weiguo, Tang Rusi, Hong Dali, and the Bureau Chief. It was actually all right if the rest of the people wanted to listen in, but the Bureau Chief felt that it was not necessary to worry them, so chose to send them out instead.

When the room had quietened down.

The Bureau Chief said slowly, “Dali, do you have enough men over at the Galaxy Alliance Center?”

“Well, it’s still okay for now.” Hong Dali nodded. “I guess it’s not bad. Anyway, I’m not doing much now. It should be enough for the time being. Most importantly, I can teleport here, but only in the virtual world. We still have to wait to be able to do it in the real world.”

“That’s good.” The Bureau Chief said, “Expand well over there. Come back to take a look whenever you are free and we can catch up on each other’s happenings.”

“Don’t worry, I will come back to visit often.” Hong Dali smiled and suddenly asked, “Uncle Chief, from your expression, I can tell something is wrong.”

“It’s a small matter, not too troublesome.” The Bureau Chief was going to talk about the Zerg when he felt a kick under the table. He looked at Hong Weiguo and then smiled. “The current progress of our planet’s technology is a bit slower than I hoped it would be. Think about it. You are at the Galaxy Alliance Center. How advanced is the technology there? Our technology is still not good enough, so I’m feeling anxious.”

“Oh, that,” Hong Dali said indifferently. “When I get back I’ll ask Brother Tianzong to send some scientific research personnel. We might not be able to advance to the same level as the Galaxy Alliance Center, but it should not be a problem to gain a level and build some spacecraft or something.”

“That’s good, then, that’s good.” The Bureau Chief said, satisfied, “I feel much better with your assurance. Next time, bring some people with you when you visit the virtual world. If they bring some technological theories and blueprints, we can research it ourselves too.”

“All right, no problem!” Hong Dali immediately agreed.

“Hehe, actually, I have some good news for you.” The Bureau Chief suddenly smiled and then held out a handful of Dali beans from his pocket. “Dali, look at this. I didn’t think they would exist in the virtual world too. Haha.”

“Dali beans!” Hong Dali’s eyes lit up when he saw them. “They are the best, hahahaha!”

As he spoke he took the little prodigal bird Acka out from his bag. Acka was sleeping after having eaten an unknown amount of things—Hong Dali would soon find out what he ate. He took a close look and was devastated…

There was only half a bag left of the equipment he had bought or won in the Virtual World…

“Little brat.” Hong Dali scolded. “You’re even more prodigal than I am!”

Looking at the bird in Hong Dali’s hands, the Bureau Chief asked curiously, “This is…”

“Oh, this.” Hong Dali grinned. “I went through a Tower of Trials. This was given to me by a Sister Green bird inside the tower. I think it’s her baby, but it’s a little ugly…”

“Green bird?” The Bureau Chief looked carefully at the little prodigal bird. He couldn’t make out what it was either. However, it really was a little too ugly.

“I shall not bother.” The Bureau Chief took out a big pile of Dali beans, a few hundred of them. “Use them as you wish. Even with your prodigal nature, they should last a few months.”

“So-so.” Hong Dali took the Dali beans and gently tapped Acka’s little head. Acka opened its eyes unwillingly. Suddenly, it saw the Dali beans and its eyes lit up. It opened its little mouth and “peck”, it ate one. It opened its mouth again and, “peck”, ate another bean. Once more it opened its mouth and “peck”, damn, that was one more bean gone.

After eating three Dali beans in a row, Acka was finally satisfied. It nudged Hong Dali’s arm and fell asleep again.

This little prodigal bird ate three at one go! Incredible!

Hong Dali and the others were dumbstruck. The little fellow was small but had a big appetite… who could afford it?

Then, the Bureau Chief and everyone else turned to look at Hong Dali. Birds of a feather really flocked together!

They were almost done talking and Hong Dali could not stay that long either. After all, there were a lot of things he needed to settle back at the Galaxy Alliance—most importantly, he was also afraid that Jiang Qianxue would realize something was wrong. That would be very troublesome. He quickly got up. “Okay, I’ll go back first. I will visit again when I have time. It’s convenient now that I can teleport.”

“Yes, okay.” The Bureau Chief knew that Hong Dali needed time to build a strong foundation over there, so he did not try to make him stay. He just reminded him: “Remember, always safety first. We only have one beloved you on Earth, do not endanger yourself. Take care of yourself no matter what.”

“Okay, okay. Don’t worry. I know.” Hong Dali stood up and said with a smile, “All right, I better get going.”

“Okay, go.” The Bureau Chief waved.

When Hong Dali exited out to the main hall of the government office, everyone was already ready and waiting. They stood neatly together in a group. Hong Dali spoke to the pocket-sized dragon swirling around the Dragon Blood Ring. “Return!”

With a swish, the entire group disappeared…

When Hong Dali left, the Bureau Chief looked at Hong Weiguo, curious. “Weiguo, I wanted to tell Dali about the Zerg. Why did you…”

“There is no benefit in saying too much.” Hong Weiguo sighed. “As parents, we cannot let our children be involved if there is trouble. Most importantly, what can they do if they know? With his character, will he be able to stay at the Galaxy Alliance? Even if he comes back, he might not be able to help either. It will also affect what he’s doing at the Galaxy Alliance. We have no idea when the Zerg will come, we should not let him wait here with us.”

“That’s true.” The Bureau Chief smacked his head. “I was anxious and did not think that much. Even if the Zerg really comes, I estimate that we should be able to hold on for ten days or half a month. We should be able to wait until the reinforcements come.”

“Yes, so,” Hong Weiguo smiled as he looked in the direction where Hong Dali disappeared, “as parents, we best try not to let our kids worry about us.”

Shenluo City, the Lord’s Office, the Jiang Family Regional Office, the Inspection Office for qualifying Honorary Aristocrats.

This area was hundreds of thousands of square meters big and surrounded by a circle of viewing galleries. At this time, the galleries were filled with spectators as well as relatives and friends of the fighters who had come to compete for a place among the Honorary Aristocrats.

In the middle were hundreds of people lining up to be tested.

“Shen Gaoyi from the Straight Valley Star, twenty-two years old, level eighteen of the Tower of Trials, cleared on the one hundred and twenty-fourth attempt. Eligible to be promoted to Honorary Aristocrat Reserve, low level.”

Upon hearing the clerk announce that he had gotten into the Honorary Aristocrat Reserve, the youth named Shen Gaoyi jumped up excitedly. “Oh yeah, hahahaha, I finally became an Honorary Aristocrat Reserve!”

Hearing him cheer, his family and friends who had come to watch him also started cheering. “Hahaha, well done, I knew you could do it! Hahaha! Honorary Aristocrat Reserve! It’s super hard to get in!””That’s right. Aiya, I said that this kid would definitely make it. Look, look! Now he has become an Honorary Aristocrat Reserve!””That’s true, haha!”

Other people also came forward to congratulate him.

After all, as long as you managed to become an Honorary Aristocrat Reserve, you would definitely be able to snag an important post even if you did not manage to become an Honorary Aristocrat in the end. It would be equivalent to direct entry to the Galaxy Alliance Army. Once the preliminary checks for sound character were complete, you would definitely get an officer’s post. That was akin to reaching the skies in a single bound and immediately becoming successful.

Even the clerk remained polite. “Congratulations. Work harder and strive for further progress in the future.”

“Thank you, thank you.” Shen Gaoyi quickly bowed. “Brother Clerk has worked hard.”

“Well, go back and practice more.” The clerk instructed. “In one and a half months, on the first of December, there will be an Advancement assessment at 8 AM. If you successfully pass level twenty of the Tower of Trials in the meantime, you can directly become an Honorary Aristocrat. If you have not passed level twenty and there are still slots available, you can join the promotion exam. Try your best, young man. I like you.”

“I will work hard!” Shen Gaoyi’s eyes were resolute. “I will do my best.”

“Well, go on.” The clerk looked at his book. “Next, Na Tairan.”

The young man named Na Tairan took a deep breath and walked slowly forward.

The clerk pointed to a stone tablet next to him. “Just put your hand on it.”

“Okay.” Na Tairan gently lifted his hand, and the thousands of onlookers around him all felt their chests tighten. He put his hand on the stone tablet. Suddenly, the stone tablet displayed Na Tairan’s Tower of Trials results. “Na Tairan from the Planet Heaven’s Vault, level eighteen of the Tower of Trials, cleared on the sixty-second attempt.”

“Great!” The clerk quickly announced loudly. “Na Tairan from the Planet Heaven’s Vault, twenty-six years old, level eighteen of the Tower of Trials, cleared it on the sixty-second attempt. Eligible to be promoted to Honorary Aristocrat Reserve, intermediate level.”

“Thank you.” Na Tairan nodded faintly, then turned and left.

Obviously, this was a reasonable achievement for him.

“Cool kid.” The clerk shrugged his shoulders. Then, he shook his head. “He should be quite talented. But against the mysterious man, he still has a long way to go…”

“I will surpass him,” Na Tairan replied in a low voice.

Speaking of which, Hong Dali had no idea that there were people here who hated him…

“I have to squander; otherwise, won’t it be a waste of my parent’s talent at earning money?” Hong Dali answers a reporter’s question matter-of-factly.

Just after the interview ends, Hong Dali opens the Great Prodigal System’s interface and looks at the various good stuff displayed in it. Stroking his chin, he mumbles to himself, “I just need to squander 200 billion yuan more to exchange for the blueprint of the core technology, Engine Destruction, found in the strongest humanoid mecha weapon, Neo Granzon. Looks like I’ll have to work harder!”

“I want to splurge! I want to squander!”
