Chapter 424: Mystery Man
The outer area of Tianjing Mountain.
Upon arriving, Hong Dali spotted a familiar person, Mu Huishou, still wearing his sunglasses and waiting there. Quite a few heavy trucks pulling cars along followed from behind, and everything on top of the trucks was covered by a cloth. What was inside couldn’t be seen, but it should be that the Granzons and Valsions were being delivered here.
“Hello, Brother Turn Back. Hehe, we haven’t seen each other for quite some time.” Hong Dali instantly went forward to greet him.
“Haha, recently, Young Master Dali became a famous figure. After the battle between Spiritual Sword and Dream Dota, Young Master Dali is now exceedingly famous!” Mu Huishou praised. “This battle has been fought brilliantly, especially that virtual reality combination technology. This technology is just too amazing.” As he spoke, he leaned over, lowered his voice and said, “The first underground floor of New Lanxiang has already been more or less built, and we’re studying into how to apply this technology. Currently, the suggestion given is to study into developing Mecha which can be sat on—the huge type—and currently, we’re planning to make it around 20 meters tall.”
A huge robot around 20 meters!
Upon hearing that, Hong Dali’s eyes lit up. “This is good, this is good! Brother Turn Back, then, when will it be developed?”
“I can’t say for sure, but anyway, it shouldn’t take too long.” Mu Huishou gave Hong Dali an extremely mysterious smile. “Young Master Dali, if you can cooperate, it will definitely be developed very quickly! How’s that, do you have any ideas?” He smiled like a sly old fox—very similar to the Bureau Chief.
“OK! No problem!” Hong Dali nodded vigorously. “After I finish things at the online gaming side, I’ll prepare to develop this! Such a good opportunity to squander, heh heh. It’s just too awesome!”
“That’s a deal, haha!” Mu Huishou instantly pointed at the driver of the heavy truck where the Granzon samples were put in. “For these, Young Master Dali, is it still the… same old rules?”
“Yes, same old rules! Then Brother Turn Back, I’ll go in first and come out later.” Hong Dali grinned and nodded, then he led the driver of the heavy truck into the storeroom. A large group of people moved the Granzon samples down. After a short while, the movers had finished unloading all the Granzons and walked out of the storeroom. Then, with a “bang,” the door of the storeroom was closed…
…
On a small mountain far away.
The Bureau Chief stood with a middle-aged man of around 50 years old and looked at Hong Dali from afar. The middle-aged man asked, “Wu Di, Hong Dali has quite a lot of secrets, hehe. Look, he’s locked himself in that storeroom alone again.”
The middle-aged man had his shining black hair combed to the back of his head, an insipid smile on his face, and he was dressed in an ordinary white tieless shirt. On his wrist was an ordinary locally produced plum flower watch, and he appeared very peaceful and calm. But upon a closer look, it could be evidently felt that this person was extremely dignified, definitely a person with high status.
Upon hearing what this person said, Wu Di was evidently quite nervous, as he said in a soft voice, “Yes, this little rascal is too mysterious, there’s definitely something strange to it. But I personally suggest not to alert him too much. As long as he doesn’t play us for fools, it’s still worth it for us to pay a small price for it.”
“Haha, look at you, you needn’t be so anxious. if I wanted to do something, I’d have done it long ago. Why would I need to wait until now? It’s just that currently, things are very volatile and uncertain on an international scale. This Hong Dali is more or less getting very influential.” The middle-aged man thought for a while, then said, “Actually, I can choose whether to care about what secrets Hong Dali has, but it’s more prudent to pay a price in exchange for other things like what you said. What I’m afraid of is that those guys overseas—for instance, the Toyoda family and Merikan—would not be easy to talk with. Those ninjas from the Toyoda family, the Angel of Misfortune from Merika, those foreign mercenary troops… It’s possible that they might make a move.”
“This…” Wu Di thought for a while, then nodded and said, “There’s indeed a latent risk in this aspect. At least, Toyoda Conglomerate will definitely not take it lying down in the face of such a big defeat. There’s a very big possibility of them sending ninjas to assassinate Hong Dali.”
“Yes, so, closely pay attention to Hong Dali’s safety. After all, by paying a price to exchange technology with him, we would not allow the benefits created by our own work to go to others.” The middle-aged man slowly said, “But it’s hard to say about those people overseas. So, monitor him closely, there cannot be any accidents.”
“OK, I understand.” Wu Di nodded, then he suddenly asked, “Oh right, all the cameras have been removed. You’re really not planning to look at what exactly is happening in the storeroom? Aren’t you the least curious?”
“Curious, of course I’m curious.” The middle-aged man touched his chin and thought for a while, then he suddenly smiled. “But I still feel that, more often than not, we can’t get to the bottom of things too hard. That might not be good for us. That child Dali is a talent, especially since he’s very kind. This is one of the root reasons of why I haven’t thought of investigating into exactly what secrets he has.”
“You can’t bear to make your move?” Wu Di smiled. “That little rascal Dali is indeed quite likable, haha.”
“Yes, he’s a carefree and happy person. Actually, to be honest, many a time, I’m quite envious of him.” The middle-aged man sighed, then smiled and said, “He’s relaxed and carefree, and he doesn’t need to think of those messy things.”
“Hehe, this little rascal.” Wu Di nodded. “I believe that things will definitely get better in the future. It’s our luck to have such a treasure appear in our nation.”
“It’s not easy, do you still remember that ‘sperm theory’ that we’d heard about during a scientific research report? This is probably the only freak in our Heavenly State’s few thousand years of history, haha!” The middle-aged man was evidently in an extremely good mood now, as he smiled and said, “Come, let’s go to other places to take a look. Speaking of which, I’m really quite interested in the underground laboratory at New Lanxiang.”
…
In the storeroom.
Hong Dali pulled out the System menu and inspected his surroundings, checking for any cameras installed through the System. Very soon, the results came out—there were no cameras, so Hong Dali was very satisfied.
Many people would probably feel that he had secrets, especially the shrewd Bureau Chief. But it was one thing knowing about it and another thing seeing it with one’s own eyes. Thus, it was fundamentally different. At least without the recording, he could deny it with all his might, right?
After making sure that nobody was monitoring him in secret, Hong Dali looked at the new sample cars in front of him and nodded his head in satisfaction.
The previous time, he’d broken down ten cars and obtained quite a few spare parts. But the problem was that the most important engine hadn’t been acquired. Thus, the cars in the storeroom that had been broken down could only be counted as true spare parts, those that couldn’t be assembled together…
After choosing the skill [machine breakdown, assembly, and transformation], Hong Dali pressed his hand on a new sample Granzon and let out a cough, then said, “Breakdown!”
Within a split second, this new sample Granzon had been broken down into spare parts all over the floor. And within these spare parts, one perfect-grade spare part had appeared—[Perfect-grade car seat. Function enhanced: Comfortable, waterproof and fireproof, totally fitting the study of the structure of the human body!]
“This…” Hong Dali stared in bewilderment. “Quite awesome…” He continued to breakdown!
The second car.
“Poof!” It was another perfect-grade. “Perfect-grade GPS. New function added: Accurate, voice reminder! Able to automatically choose the best route according to Host’s requests.”
Wahahahaha, this time it’s more convenient!
Continue!
…
“Poof!”, after breaking down the eighth new sample car, finally, the spare part that Hong Dali needed appeared. Upon looking at it, Hong Dali was astonished. “Perfect-grade engine. Function strengthened: Saves 30% of energy, super low noise, super strong heat dissipation, waterproof and fireproof.”
Of course, these were not the content that stunned him. The reason why he was stunned was because of the following aspect: “Able to embed gems!”
Able to embed gems!
After all, Hong Dali’s gem processing skill could make energy-related gems! This engine could be embedded with gems, which meant that the performance level of this car could still continue to be enhanced!
What the heck, this was super awesome!
Very soon, the 20 new Granzon samples had all been broken down. There were spare parts scattered all over the ground. Hong Dali asked the System, “System, are these enough to assemble into a new car?”
System: “Sufficient.”
It’s finally sufficient, wahahahahaha! Hong Dali snapped his finger. “Assemble!”
Then, when all those perfect-grade spare parts on the ground that he’d chosen had all been assembled together and become a brand new perfect-grade Granzon, Hong Dali sat on the floor at once and fiercely rubbed his face.
Perfect-grade Granzon—
Perfect-grade engine: saves 30% of energy, super low noise, super strong heat dissipation, waterproof and fireproof, able to embed gems.
Perfect-grade tire: sturdy, waterproof and fireproof, maintains constant air pressure.
Perfect-grade glass: sturdy, fog-resistant! Able to guard against a large portion of impact, will not produce fog due to change in temperature.
Perfect-grade outer casing: waterproof, pressure-resistant, sturdy. Enhanced function: perfect-grade outer appearance.
Perfect-grade battery: storage ability increased by 500%, battery depletion decreased by 30%, charging speed increased by 100%.
Perfect-grade car seat: comfortable, waterproof and fireproof, totally fitting the study of the structure of the human body!
Perfect-grade fuel tank: sturdy, definitely will not break due to any reason.
Perfect-grade…
Of course, these were just typical attributes without any rare aspects.
But since all the spare parts were of perfect-grade, as a result, it also had another important change—a brand new attribute.
Thus, what truly made Hong Dali collapse to the floor and stare in bewilderment was the last aspect, something which could be said to be a brand new attribute surpassing everything which humans could do currently. An attribute which was truly epochal!
