Chapter 906: Please Say Whatever Is On Your Mind
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Since they had figured out how to deal with Hong Dali, the father-son duo returned to the real world to find Sir Malone.
Once they entered the room prepared for Malone, Li Hanhong put on an extremely disappointed expression. He said, “Sir Malone, I’m really sorry to have disappointed you. My son was too weak and lost the championship to someone else. Sigh, I heard that apart from Hong Dali, there are only women and children in that team. A team like that ended up winning. I…”
He made sure to say everything slowly. He even emphasized the “only women and children” line. Expectedly, once Sir Malone heard that he instantly touched his chin and nodded. “Hm, there’s nothing that you can do now since you lost. The champion team sounds interesting, though. Only one man and the rest are women and children? A team like that can win the championship? I do need to pay them a visit, then.”
He fell for it!
Li Hanhong and Li Tianxing looked at each other. Li Hanhong flattered. “Indeed. That’s why I was so upset that my son lost, especially to that Team Dali. That Li Nianwei from his team is the champion of Sing! Milky Way. Her support rate was a lot higher than Heloise’s. Sigh, it’s understandable to lose to a powerful genius. But to lose to a singer…”
Once Malone heard that Li Nianwei was the winner of Sing! Milky Way, he was highly interested. He instantly laughed and asked, “So what you’re saying is that this Li Nianwei is much better than Heloise?”
“Definitely, and by a wide margin!” There was no way Li Hanhong would miss his chance to add on. “Heloise only had a support rate of fifty million. Li Nianwei’s support rate was over eighty-five million. They weren’t on the same level! Li Nianwei now has an official nickname. She’s called the Music Goddess. Her singing is lovely, and she looks beautiful too…”
It was a done deal! Malone instantly touched his chin. “Hm, I see. Alright, even though you lost, it was probably because you were careless. It’s fine. Just arrange for me to meet them. I’ll make some time. They are the champions, after all. I should go visit them.”
Success!
Li Hanhong and Li Tianxing were overjoyed. They prepared to make the arrangements. However, Sir Malone’s transmitter unexpectedly rang. He took it out and frowned upon looking at it. He then waved his hand. “You’re dismissed. There are some important arrangements from the headquarters.”
“Yes, sir.” The two of them instantly left.
“Old Elder, what’s going on?” After he picked up the call, Malone asked, “Do you have any updated intelligence?”
“Nothing has been found.” The Old Elder shook his head. “I wanted to look for you regarding something else. You’re in the Milky Way, right? There’s a huge Star Gem Mine that’s been discovered in the Vortex Star System. They’ve already submitted a request for protection. You need to head there now and settle the matters related to the Star Gem Mine before coming back.”
“Star Gem Mine?!” Malone was instantly shocked when he heard that!
The best materials for forging the exteriors of Stellar-level Space Carriers were found in Star Gem Mines. Why were the High Nobles so powerful in the Dimu Star Sector? They controlled over eighty percent of the entire sector’s Star Gem Mines! In other words, the Dimu Star Sector High Nobles controlled over eighty percent of Stellar-level Space Carriers!
Therefore, each discovery of a Star Gem Mine represented a highly profitable opportunity!
“Understood. Understood!” Sir Malone suddenly stood up. He excitedly said, “Old Elder, I’ll head there right now!”
“Sure. Make sure everything is done properly.” The Old Elder said in a low voice, “If anything goes wrong, I’ll hold you solely responsible!”
“Yes!”
…
Li Hanhong and Li Tianxing were deeply disappointed.
There was no way they could have predicted this. The plan was going so smoothly. However, Sir Malone left at the final moment with a mission…
Malone left just like that! Although he said that he would return after a while, it pained them deeply to think that Hong Dali could survive happily for a few more months.
They thought their plan was perfect. Once Malone was interested in Hong Dali’s women, the idiot Hong Dali would definitely oppose that. He even dared to punch a Galaxy Aristocrat like Yin Tianzong previously!
Once Hong Dali laid his hands on Sir Malone, the Galaxy Aristocrats would definitely activate the Nine Sha Luos. No matter how powerful Hong Dali was, he would still be terminated. His women would be brought away by Malone. As for Jiang Qianxue—since Li Tianxing could no longer go to the Dimu Star Sector headquarters, Jiang Qianxue would become a perfect choice as his wife!
What an impeccable plan!
In the end, Malone left just like that!
“This Hong Dali is too lucky!” Li Tianxing gritted his teeth. He angrily said, “I can’t believe Sir Malone had to leave at a time like this. The odds of that are… I’m so pissed!”
“Stay calm.” Li Hanhong was not overly disappointed. He smiled and said, “We successfully attracted Malone’s attention. He has to be done with his business one day. My guess is that he’ll return within a month. Hong Dali would have nowhere to hide then. We just have to quietly wait for that day. There’s nothing else to worry about.”
“That’s true.” Li Tianxing was finally a little satisfied. “It’s just that I lost my opportunity, sigh…”
“I’ll plead with your grandfather after we go back. We’ll see if he can find some connections over at the Dimu Star Sector headquarters.” Li Hanhong thought about it and said slowly, “Don’t rush it. You must be patient in everything you do. Never give up until the final second.”
“Yes, I understand!”
…
The virtual world, in the audience stands.
Hong Dali had no idea that he almost fell into a scheme. He was currently standing in the middle of the field. They were in the middle of the awards presentation ceremony arranged by the system of this competition.
“Ladies and gentlemen, let’s welcome this year’s champion team of the Galaxy Super Mecha Wars with a round of applause! They are—Team Dali!”
The entire arena erupted as the system announced the final competition results!
The thunderous applause, deafening cheers, and the confetti in the sky all showcased the great recognition that the champions of this year’s competition received!
In the Galaxy Alliance, great popularity meant endless wealth and the best resources everywhere!
After all, champions were always the focal points of everyone’s attention!
“Team Dali, you’re the best!”
“Hahahaha, you’re so strong. Invincible!”
“One move to defeat the Spirit Emperor that cost 600 million dollars to build. Team Dali, you’re the strongest!”
As the people cheered, the system began to announce the prizes for the champions.
“For this year’s Galaxy Super Mecha Wars, the champions will receive—5 pieces of Azure Root Bones-Forging Grass, 200 million Galaxy Dollars, countless other miscellaneous rewards…”
The other rewards were meaningless. The most important thing was that they got the Azure Root Bones-Forging Grass, as well as 200 million Galaxy Dollars. With such a huge sum, Hong Dali could squander as he pleased again. Hahahahaha!
“Dali, we’re the champions!” Tang Muxin excitedly exclaimed, “Shouldn’t we celebrate that?”
“Of course.” Hong Dali smiled and wiped his nose. He said, “Although we didn’t plan on winning it, it feels pretty good to end up as the champions. Hehe…”
Hm, if Li Tianxing heard this, he would probably die out of rage…
Just then, the system’s voice sounded again. “Since the champions are crowned, let us welcome the Team Leader of Team Dali, Mister Hong Dali, to give an acceptance speech!”
It was finally time for this part.
It was normal for there to be an award acceptance speech at such a large-scale competition. The Galaxy Super Mecha Wars was no different. The champion was, after all, the focus of everyone present. It only made sense for him to give an acceptance speech. For instance, he had to thank this person and that person, as well as recount the difficult journey towards the championship. These standard procedures must be followed.
Then, everyone learned that they overestimated Hong Dali…
“Ah, you need me to say something?” Hong Dali stared blankly at the official host Galaxy Super Mecha Wars. “Can I really say anything I want to?”
What the heck, the entire audience heard that okay?
The host broke out in a sweat. He quietly said, “Mister Hong Dali, please say whatever is on your mind.” He then discreetly hinted. “Please say something positive and uplifting. For instance, things like the goal of your life would be perfect.”
Upon hearing this, Tang Muxin knew that things were about to go wrong.
Expectedly, Hong Dali was stunned once he found out that he had to share the goal of his life. “Are you sure?”
“Of course.” The host had no idea what Hong Dali did for a living. He answered definitively, “I’m sure, Mister Hong Dali.”
“Oh.” Hong Dali let out a long “oh”. He then turned to look at the entire audience. Suddenly, he laughed out loud and yelled at the top of his lungs. “I, Hong Dali, will become the number one prodigal of the entire universe! Wahahahahaha!”
Damn it!
The host instantly kneeled—I told you to share the goal of your life, that’s true. But what’s up with this wanting to be the number one prodigal of the universe! Does that count as a goal in life?!
Tang Muxin and the rest of the people who knew Hong Dali hid their heads in their arms. They wanted to dig a hole and hide themselves in it.
Everyone was stunned!
Because nobody present expected Hong Dali’s award acceptance speech to be like this!
