The outside world was laughing their asses off, but what good thing did our prodigal find under the sea?
Let us go back a little…
The underwater world.
“Dali, if you look from here, don’t you feel that the gem mountain seems very strange?” In the sea, Tang Muxin pointed to the mountain peak made out of a huge purple gem and said, “I have this feeling that it seems to look very similar to something.”
Speaking of which, now that Tang Muxin pointed it out, Hong Dali also realized. “Yes, it really does. That purple gem looks like… how do I put it, it looks just like a dragon head…”
“Dragon head?” Jiang Qianxue finally reacted. She looked at the Gem Mountain carefully, then suddenly exclaimed, “Now that you mention it, the outline of the Gem Mountain really looks like the head of a dragon!”
Since it was a dragon head, it naturally had to be symmetrical. This was a big discovery. Anyway, they were in the Virtual World, it would be a wasted trip if they did not take a good look around. Hong Dali immediately shouted, “Wahahaha, this is so interesting! Let’s go and see if there are other gem mountains like this one around here!”
So they started searching.
Soon, Hong Dali manipulated the water around the huge gem mountain and started looking around it. Before long, about 30 kilometers away on the other side, another similar gem mountain was found, and there was also a similar rift under the gem mountain!
The rift was alive!
“God!” This time, everyone was stunned.
The two purple gem mountains were more than 30 kilometers away from each other, and because of their preconceived impression, when they looked at the purple gem mountains again, they looked like a certain body part of a creature!
If they looked at the shapes of all the other gems in between the two purple mountains, these two purple mountains should be the creature’s… eyelids?
“It’s terrifying!” Everyone was staring, stunned. Tang Muxin stared at the purple gem mountain, muttering to herself, “This… this should be the dragon’s eyelid, right? Quickly, look around! If we look in this direction, we should find its nostrils soon!”
So they began looking for the nostril of this giant gem dragon.
Sure enough, starting from that eyelid, after traveling more than one hundred kilometers in the appropriate direction, they found two huge caves that were more than one kilometer wide. There was a continuous stream of water being sucked into the cave. Then ten minutes later, a powerful force pushed all the water out again…
“This… this…” Hong Dali opened his eyes wide in shock, then said subconsciously, “This dragon’s body is really big, isn’t it? Just its head is already at least 100 kilometers long. If we include the body…”
“Hmm.” Lin Chuyin made some quick calculations. “It must be at least about 3,000 kilometers long.”
A huge gem dragon that was about 3,000 kilometers long!
Based on its size, did that mean that this huge planet that had a diameter of more than 50,000 kilometers was the giant gem dragon’s nest? Everyone was fighting in its lair?!
It was even very likely that they were fighting on its back?
God, when they realized there was such a possibility, Hong Dali and the others felt their scalps tingle in fear!
This was like asking a tiger for its hide, they were doomed!
Of course, since this venue was chosen for the competition, there must be a reason. What could the reason be…
Just then, an announcement from the game system was heard in all their mechas at the same time. “The battle to advance 1,000 out of 10,000 has ended. There will be a 20-hour rest period, all participants get ready to be teleported out. The next battle will begin at 10 AM tomorrow, all participants please prepare for battle. ”
The battle to advance 1,000 out of 10,000 had ended just like that?
They just had that thought when the system started counting. “Ten… Nine… Eight… Seven…”
Woosh…
Soon, when the system finished counting down to zero, Hong Dali and the five members of his team appeared in the previously designated lounge within the Virtual World. By this time, numerous people were already waiting there…
“Dali, haha, you have come out!” Yin Tianzong was the first to rush towards them. They were brothers who had gone through life and death situations together. First was during the battle against the Zerg and later in the fight against Li Tianxing on Glorious Planet in the Virtual World. Their relationship was forged by real battle, it was not flimsy and fake.
“Haha, Brother Tianzong, are you all here?” Hong Dali looked around, and everyone who was related to him was present. Hong Dali grinned and sniffled. He said, “How long has everyone been waiting?”
“We just arrived.” Jiang Duxing sized Hong Dali up and down and laughed. “You little bastard, you’re really good at hiding. Do you know that everyone is crazy now? All they are talking about other then Li Tianxing is you. In fact, there is more discussion about you than him.”
He was not lying.
It was not hard to have as many kills as Li Tianxing as long as your mecha was strong enough and your weapons powerful enough. But Hong Dali’s situation was completely different. They had managed to qualify as one of the 1,000 mechas from 200 teams without a single kill. Something like that only happened in dreams. It was completely beyond everyone’s imagination.
“Ah? Talking about me?” Hong Dali looked outside. “I simply did not kill anyone… Ah, no. I didn’t even fight anyone. What’s wrong with that? I had no intention of killing anyone…”
As soon as he said this, the others suddenly had the urge to choke him.
What the heck, if you did not want to kill anyone why did you join the competition? This is a competition! A competition! What was your purpose in joining the competition of you did not wish to kill anyone?!
At this time, there were many other people who had come out of their respective rooms. After all, he was an Honorary Aristocrat, and there was also a true-blue Galaxy Aristocrat, so their lounge was together with the rest of the Galaxy Aristocrats.
So it was expected and logical that before anyone said much, Li Tianxing and his party entered the room…
“Hehehe, isn’t this Hong Dali,” Li Tianxing didn’t even notice that other Galaxy Aristocrats were present. He went headed straight to Hong Dali. “I heard that you successfully got into the top 1,000. Honestly, I’m a little surprised.”
Seeing that Li Tianxing was making his way towards them, everyone’s expressions soured. Jiang Duxing even snorted.
Li Tianxing had almost sold his daughter before. If they had not gotten lucky, Jiang Qianxue might not have been able to come back. Naturally, Jiang Duxing would never feel any goodwill towards Li Tianxing again. Since they had already fallen out, there was no need to put on a smile to welcome him.
“It’s so-so.” Hong Dali did not really think anything of it. He wiped his nose, and then laughed and said, “Anyway, it’s just for fun. You seem to be taking the game too seriously.”
“Hahaha, yes, you make it sound like it’s nothing.” Li Tianxing suddenly laughed, then looked at Hong Dali. His eyes full of disdain, he said, “That’s true, trash with no kills at all are only fit play casually. You are really very good at hiding, but rest assured, I will find you, and I will let you know what absolute power is. I don’t believe you can hide forever!”
“You talk too much.” Hong Dali was not angry at all. He just gave a bored yawn and said with disinterest, “Are you always so bitter and hateful? Speaking of which, you are not young anymore, but yet you go around looking for people to fight with like a child… Eh, no wonder you still can’t find a girlfriend…”
Upon hearing this, Li Tianxing was furious!
It was precisely because of Hong Dali that Jiang Qianxue had distanced herself from him! And he still dared to bring the matter up!
“That’s true.” Just as Li Tianxing was gloomily thinking about it, Jiang Qianxue added fuel to the fire. The young lady stood next to Hong Dali and looked at Li Tianxing disdainfully. She humphed. “Anyway, no matter how bad Dali is, he is still much better than a certain someone!”
This remark received thunderous agreement from everyone present. Everyone looked at Li Tianxing and smirked.
Escaping in the face of the Zerg attack was a black mark against him that Li Tianxing could never remove. No matter how arrogant he was, he could not change that fact.
“Fine, you’ve got guts!” Li Tianxing’s face changed a myriad of colors. In the end, he could only wave the comment off helplessly. “It’s useless to say more, we’ll see you then!”
Soon, Li Tianxing left with his people. Hong Dali put up his arms and stretched lazily. “Ah, it’s really tiring. I’m going back to bed. What about you all?”
“I’ll go online and read the comments first.” Yin Tianzong put his arm on Hong Dali’s shoulder and laughed. “Dali, after what you did today, you will be the hot topic. It’s so cool, it will be a pity if I don’t go take a look.”
His words were echoed by the many people present, so everyone left happily, ready to go online to read the comments on this Super Mecha Wars.
“Boring.” Hong Dali said, bored, “I’m going back to sleep.”
So, he left and got ready to sleep.
Back in the real world, at St. Homburg, Hong Dali laid on Li Nianwei’s lap. He looked like the was taking a nap, but his mind was filled with thoughts of the secret hidden in that big planet.
Such a big planet with a huge gem dragon that was over 3,000 kilometers in length. That arena seemed really strange. What was going on?
“Young Master, are you thinking about the gem dragon?” After all, Li Nianwei was an empathetic person. As soon as she heard Hong Dali’s breathing, she knew that he was not asleep yet. She said softly, “Is there anything I can do to help?”
“It’s okay.” Hong said with a big smile, “Anyway, let’s try to figure out what’s going on when we go in again.”
“Okay.” Li Nianwei smiled. She suddenly lowered her head and gently neatened Hong Dali’s hair. She said gently, “Have a good rest. We’ve been playing the entire day, are you tired?”
“I’m a bit tired.” Hong Dali looked at Li Nianwei and smiled. Suddenly, he sat up and said, “Hehe, Sister Nianwei, a kiss!” The ambiance was great and he immediately transformed into a wolf in the moonlit night, ah woo—!!
