Chapter 954: A Little Wave of the Hand
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Milky Way Alliance, inside one of the small taverns within Shenluo City.
It was a tiny tavern with less than thirty square meters of space. In Shenluo City, where enormous hotels were everywhere, this was truly an insignificant little tavern.
The decor was not luxurious, but it was clean and well-lit. The waitresses looked innocent and smiled beautifully, making all the customers comfortable and welcomed.
The place was a beauty for them to feast their eyes on.
At the same time, two old men were drinking here.
“Sigh, Dongliu…” Li Xuancheng downed all the wine in his cup. Then, he smiled wryly and said, “I lost to you completely. Hehe, who would’ve expected a legendary prodigal like Hong Dali to achieve everything that he did? Sigh…”
“Who told you to be so ambitious?” Jiang Dongliu curled his lips. “You would’ve been fine if you just trained properly. You’re only one step away from entering the Stellar-level, right?”
“Yes, one last step.” Li Xuancheng was upset. “Stellar-level requires one to possess 1,800 attribute points. I’m missing the final 100 or so. Although it may seem like a small amount, it’s not so easy to actually make it.”
That’s right, there was a level above Planet-level—the Stellar-level!
In the universe, the Planet-level was considered barely the beginning. Once a person reached the Fifth Order Planet-level, his life expectancy would increase a little. Only when he reached the Stellar-level would his life expectancy be extended greatly to 300 years.
“You can live till you’re 300 when you reach the Stellar-level. I’m envious of you.” Jiang Dongliu smiled and sighed. Although he was one of the Five Kings just like Li Xuancheng, he was much weaker in comparison.
Li Xuancheng thought about it and shook his head. “Even the number one genius of our clan, Mo Tianji, was a step away from the Stellar-level. It’s a shame. Sigh… if only he broke through to the Stellar-level, he would not have lost to Duan Xuan!”
The battle between the number one genius of the East Milky Way, Mo Tianji, and the legendary fighter Duan Xuan was a fight to be remembered. People still talked about it today.
However, nobody knew how complex the situation actually was.
“It’s not so easy to make it to the Stellar-level.” Li Xuancheng helplessly said, “I’m where I am today only because of the countless amount of money and resources spent. How many elixirs have I consumed? Yet, I’m still stuck in this awkward place now. There’s nothing I can do about it.”
Luck was a huge factor in the breakthrough to the Stellar-level. Hard work alone would not suffice.
In this universe, humans would not usually live past 150 years old. For those at the Fifth Order Planet-Level, they could live until they were 200 years old.
If they wanted to live any longer, they would have to enter the Stellar-level. In that case, it would be possible for them to live until they were 300 years old.
After all, that was the limit to human life. It was not so easily breakable.
“Never mind, forget it.” Jiang Dongliu waved his hands. “I’m quite curious. Why were you in such a rush to bring Hong Dali away? Isn’t it time for you to tell me?”
Li Xuancheng’s main purpose in coming was to bring Hong Dali away. However, he never explained the reasons behind his actions. Jiang Dongliu was curious about what made Li Xuancheng go through all the troubles.
“You know about Hong Dali’s battle against the Zergs on Earth, right?” Li Xuancheng looked at Jiang Dongliu. “There are a lot of hidden secrets from that trip. Have you not thought about it?”
“Their previous battle with the Zergs?” Jiang Dongliu frowned. “Didn’t they realize that there were too many Zergs on Earth and retreat? What’s wrong with that? We’ve never seen eye to eye with the Zergs, but we still can’t knowingly sacrifice lives just to prove a point, right? That’s why I didn’t ask for details when I found out that they retreated. Why?”
“Actually, battles like that aren’t rare. I’m concerned about something else.” Li Xuancheng appeared serious now. “Why did King Zergs appear on Earth! As you know, the inducing factor of King Zergs…”
“Oh, you mean this?” Jiang Dongliu instantly smiled. “Health gems, right? I actually do have a piece…” He opened the space portal and retrieved a piece of Health gem. He happily waved it in front of Li Xuancheng. “Dali gave this to me. Hehe, jealous?”
Li Xuancheng did not reply, but his expression explained everything…
“That… that…” Li Xuancheng wanted to die on the spot. “That bastard Hong Dali just gave you something so precious for free?! That’s a Health gem! Health gem! You can remove all the impurities in your body directly with that and purify all your body attributes. I need it to break through to the Stellar-level!”
Jiang Dongliu finally understood why Li Xuancheng was in such a rush to locate Hong Dali.
His main goal was the Health gem. He wanted to find Hong Dali and ask about the Health gems, as the King Zergs appeared on Earth.
However, it seemed like the answer was obvious now…
“Old Li, to be honest…” Jiang Dongliu inhaled deeply. “Listen to me. You should go and ask Hong Dali nicely now while things aren’t too bad between the two of you. Although that little rascal always seems heartless, I know he’s still a kind person. If you show your sincerity, he might even forgive your grandson Tianxing. Although we aren’t on the best terms, we are both still Galaxy Aristocrats, after all. I can’t stand to watch your relationship with him worsen even further, right?”
“Yes, I understand! I understand everything you’re saying!” Li Xuancheng’s eyes were filled with passion. “You don’t need to say anything else. I’ll find that bastard Tianxing right now and personally bring him to see Hong Dali!”
…
Inside St. Homburg Grand Hotel.
Although Hong Dali was awarded a huge mansion with 960 square kilometers of space, it was not available yet. There was no chance for him to move in, at least in the near future. Hence, Hong Dali and the rest chose to return to the St. Homburg Grand Hotel.
Luckily, Hong Dali and the others came from Earth, and they were not that picky about their residence.
Now that the advancement assessment had concluded, Hong Dali and his huge crew sat around on the sofas in the eighth-floor lobby for discussions.
After all, they were about to head for the mysterious Faerie Star. They had to make arrangements for matters in the Milky Way Alliance.
“Young Master.” Ling Xiaoyi looked at her portable smart computer. “Mister Jiang Dongliu replied. All the mansions have been converted into Galaxy Dollars. The rewards for your promotion to Black and White-level Double Honorary Aristocrat, as well as promotion for the others to Black-level Honorary Aristocrats, have also been accredited to your account. The total sum is twelve billion Galaxy Dollars.”
Twelve billion Galaxy Dollars!
Hearing this figure, everyone instantly sucked in a cold breath.
Even though they were somewhat prepared to hear that figure, it still felt amazing!
The advancement assessment was indeed worth the trip. They earned twelve billion Galaxy Dollars in an instant. It felt so good! Haha!
“Hm, not bad. That’s a lot of money. Haha!” Hong Dali nodded, satisfied. Actually, he only attended the advancement assessment in order to help Jiang Qianxue. Who would have expected that he got to come back with twelve billion Galaxy Dollars? Not bad at all.
“Dali, what are you planning to do with all this money?” Tang Muxin asked, “Are you going to squander it all away?”
Hm, if others tried to squander, they would be looking for death. However, squandering for Hong Dali was proper business! Business, understand?
“That’s easy.” Hong Dali smiled and said, “We’ll set aside two billion dollars for our personal expenses. Everyone, you can go and buy whatever you want. After all, money unspent is just a number. There’s no need to be shy. For the remaining ten billion dollars, Xiaoyi, you can contact Grandpa Mysterious and Uncle Chief. Just send the money to them. Hm, by the way, assign an admin staff for them. I feel like your brother Ling Mufeng is quite suitable. This way, they will have an easier time with construction there.”
That was what Hong Dali was like. If he got any benefits, he would never forget his friends.
If he said that he would spend all the money himself, nobody would respect him.
However, look at him now. He directly allocated ten billion dollars for the New Earth. He would never forget those people around him. That was why he could survive well anywhere he went, right?
“Yes, Young Master. No problem!” Ling Xiaoyi smiled and nodded. “I’ll get right on it.”
“Dali, you’re the best!” Tang Muxin kissed Dali and smiled.
Tang Muxin was fully satisfied with Hong Dali’s decision.
“Hehe, meh, it’s okay.” Hong Dali smiled and kissed Tang Muxin back. “My Xinxin and Sister Nianwei’s family are all on the New Earth. Construction there will require loads of money. We can’t forget that!”
Everyone laughed. Lackey Li Yang gave a thumbs up. “The Young Master lives up to his name. Why else would our Big Bro Levis train so hard? Aiya, he was so amazing in his match against Li Haokong. Haha!”
“It was just so-so.” Levis blushed. “The most important thing is that it was worth it to do all that for the Young Master.”
A simple phrase “worth it” represented everything for Levis.
The benevolent had no enemies.
Everyone laughed. Just then, Ling Xiaoyi returned. Her expression was strange. “Young Master, Li Xuancheng, together with Li Hanhong and Li Tianxing, is asking to see you…”
