Chapter 453: Birds of the Same Feather Flock Together
The Bureau Chief was just making a casual remark. A much-beloved child such as Hong Dali probably only appeared once every thousands of years in the Heavenly State. What was most important was that he was safe. As for all his little flaws, they were not important!
Once they were out of the cave, the Bureau Chief looked for an isolated place before asking in a low voice, “Huishou, what is it? Tell me quickly.”
“All right, Bureau Chief.” Mu Huishou recounted the events leading to the tragedy of Abe Haruta. “It has been confirmed that Abe Haruta is a Jabanese with top-notch skills. He disguised himself as a beggar and stationed himself under Chenghui Building but was apprehended by city officers 100% loyal to Young Master Dali…” and so on and so forth. When Mu Huishou finished recounting the events, he mentioned Lucifer’s Weibo. “Just before it happened, Lucifer’s Weibo post mentioned that he wished Young Master would meet with some misfortune…”
“In the end, it shifted to Abe Haruta?” The Bureau Chief was positive this time. “With the current situation, it seems that Dali will be safe. It’s not a big matter—little curses are definitely ineffective against Dali.”
“Bureau Chief, what shall we do about Abe Haruta?” asked Mu Huishou. “Should we let him go or…”
“This is simple.” Bureau Chief revealed a sinister smile. “Does he have any identification on him? I guess if he was disguised as a beggar, he would not be carrying any identification or passport on him?”
“Yes,” said Mu Huishou. “Judging from his appearance, it seems he is a death soldier who has no intention of returning home.”
“Let him spend his old age in prison, then.” The Bureau Chief laughed out loud. “He can forget about leaving for the rest of his life. We have no problem with one more person in there. Remember to take good care of him—do not let him have too good a life.”
“Okay!”
…
In the cave.
It was good news that Hong Dali had returned alive, especially since he had found so much treasure down there. It was all Hong Dali’s property now. Tang Muxin sat down next to Hong Dali and said, “Dali, there is so much good stuff down there. Why don’t we tell Uncle Hong about it and let him share the joy? Uncle Hong will also definitely like this Dali Bean!”
“Yes, that’s true. In a while, I will ask someone to bring two pounds up and we can bring them home as snacks!” Hong Dali smiled. “The stuff is quite fragrant. I feel quite revitalized after eating them!” Saying so, he looked around and said, “There is nothing much else here. Let’s go back when Uncle Chief returns. The aircraft carriers will not be ready for another week, so let us get all the documentation and procedures down pat during this time.”
One week was neither short nor long. He had to make full use of the time and settle things that need to be settled.
Right then, on the technological front, they had to continue developing the virtual reality online game, the sci-fi town had to be built, and the decomposition of the holy garment should be moved up on the agenda. Even the Granzon had to be further perfecte—how to get the transformation working? It was a very serious problem.
There was still, of course, the most important thing. That was—the points they had gained from the recent squandering should have been credited. He had decided to max out his parent’s attributes first but was unsure if the points were sufficient…
Hong Dali sat on the ground against the wall, pretending to rest as he brought up the Great Prodigal System’s menu in his mind. Immediately, the system’s cold electronic voice said, “Attribute points available for exchange: 167. Host, please allocate.”
*Damn! That much? Great! *
Hong Dali broke out in a huge smile when he heard that. It was worth it buying the two aircraft carriers! Exchange! He had to exchange the points immediately! Nothing else was important now except his family and friends’ attributes.
Hong Dali replied decisively, “Exchange for Family and Friends’ attribute points!”
System: “Current redeemable members: Hong Weiguo(Host’s Father)—Current Health index: 76. Current Energy index: 69. Lan Ruoxi(Host’s Mother)—Current Health index: 76. Current Energy index: 78. Tang Muxin(Host’s Fiancée)—Current Health index: 87. Current Charisma index: 92. Li Nianwei(Host’s steadfast supporter. Loyalty degree: 100)—Current Health index: 82. Current Charisma index: 98. Lin Chuyin(Host’s steadfast ally. Loyalty degree: 100)—Current Health index: 75. Current Energy index: 81.”
There was no need for any hesitation. Hong Dali immediately said, “Exchange for Hong Weiguo’s and Lan Ruoxi’s Health attributes. Increase both to a hundred!” Dad and Mum, hehe, I will not let you dote on me in vain. You must have health—maximum health!
“Please wait for a short while…” The system’s voice sounded. “Redeeming in progress…”
It did not take long before Hong Weiguo’s and Lan Ruoxi’s vitality became a full hundred points.
“Wow, not bad, not bad!” Hong Dali smiled widely, feeling accomplished. Dad and Mum both had full health now, he would no longer have to worry about their health. Hehe.
The two of them originally had Health at 76, which meant 24 points each were needed to max it. Every Family and Friends attribute point was worth three normal points. That meant Hong Dali had 23 points left. Hong Dali did not hesitate now, either. He looked at Tang Muxin, Li Nianwei, and Lin Chuyin’s attribute points and decisively added the points to Lin Chuyin. The Health attribute of the five family and friends were now as follows—Hong Weiguo: 100, Lan Ruoxi: 100, Tang Muxin: 87, Li Nianwei: 82, Lin Chuyin: 82.
Hong Dali was extremely pleased with the outcome.
Only with health can you have everything else. As his family and friends, how could they be falling sick so often!
…
Door to Heaven.
“Eh?” Hong Weiguo suddenly touched his chest and stretched his arms and legs. He felt light all over.
“That’s strange,” said Hong Weiguo curiously. “How is it I feel so comfortable all over? Could it be because of Dali again…”
With that thought, Hong Weiguo called for his private medical team and requested for a full body checkup.
Half an hour later, the results of the checkup astonished Hong Weiguo.
The Doctor-in-charge said in amazement, “CEO Hong, your body is as healthy as can be now. All tests have come back perfect with no trace of any possible ailments! My god, this is a miracle!”
Hong Weiguo was dazed. When the medical team left, Hong Weiguo sat down on the sofa and blanked out for a while. Then, he suddenly broke out in laughter. “Hahaha. It’s Dali. It’s definitely that little brat Dali who did this! Aiya, I have a good son. He may be somewhat of a prodigal, but he has done well. He has done well!”
After he finished speaking, he pursed his lips. “Now, if Ruoxi could recover from her ailments too…”
Before he even finished his sentence, the phone rang. It was Lan Ruoxi on the line. “Weiguo! Something happened! Something big happened!”
“What happened?” Judging from Lan Ruoxi’s voice, it did not sound like anything bad had happened. Hong Weiguo asked, “What happened to get you so worked up?”
“My gastric problem is gone!” Lan Ruoxi’s voice was full of amazement. “It just went away without rhyme or reason. I have no idea what happened. Earlier, I suddenly felt great all over and my stomach did not hurt anymore. At first, I was worried that something bad might have happened, so I got a full body checkup done. All the little issues plaguing me have disappeared! I feel wonderful all over now!”
“You have recovered too?!” Hong Weiguo’s eyes widened. “Me too!”
“Ah?!” Lan Ruoxi exclaimed. “Really? You are at the Door To Heaven? I am here too. Wait for me, I will go over to you now!” She then hung up.
Half an hour later.
“Weiguo, you mean…” Lan Ruoxi looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, she said softly, “This is all because of Dali? Our little prodigal?”
“Yes. I realized that ever since he bought Ye Lai Xiang, my health has improved.” Hong Weiguo then continued in a low voice, “Do you remember the time when you saw his thing, and it had become almost normal? We even wanted to ask him to get married quickly?”
“I remember, I remember!” Lan Ruoxi was an intelligent person. She immediately understood what Hong Weiguo was trying to tell her. “What you mean is, our little prodigal has gotten God’s blessings?”
“I guess so. I think that his body has gotten better because of his squandering,” said Hong Weiguo, smiling. “That’s why I have never stopped him from buying anything. Money can be earned, but people cannot be replaced.”
“That’s true.” Lan Ruoxi’s eyes reddened. “Our little prodigal is really filial. He thinks of us when there are benefits to be had. We have not doted on him in vain, haha!”
“I think we have to call him a big prodigal now…” Hong Weiguo chuckled. “The little brat bought two aircraft carriers a few days ago. You were busy these few days, I think you have not heard about it?”
“What?!” Lan Ruoxi gaped. “The little brat Dali is buying aircraft carriers nowadays?”
Birds of the same feather flock together, or rather, the son takes after the mother. Lan Ruoxi was not angry at all. She just laughed. “This big prodigal is getting more and more generous! I like it! Anyway, all the miscellaneous things he has invested in are all earning money. Let him spend if he wants to. Let’s not stop him.”
As she talked, Lan Ruoxi’s eyes lit up. “Two aircraft carriers! The little brat is really daring. If it were me, I would not dare to spend like that! However, come to think of it, it’s actually quite interesting. Yes, when the aircraft carriers arrive, I will bring my friends there. Maybe have a party. I will not invite anyone with a family fortune of less than a hundred million, so as to not lower the exclusivity of the event!”
PU—!!
Hong Weiguo choked on his drink and coughed it out all over. As he coughed, he laughingly said, “You, you’re a mother! However, it’s a good idea. When the aircraft carriers arrive, we shall go take a look and admire them. It could then turn into an extravaganza if we held a gathering or something.”
“That’ll do. It’s decided, then!” Lan Ruoxi was definitely in a good mood today. She was very satisfied with Hong Dali’s purchase of the two aircraft carriers. “When the two aircraft carriers are transported here, I will contact my friends. Oh, oh, if there are any suitable young ladies, reserve them for Dali?”
“This…” Although Hong Weiguo wanted grandchildren too, he was quick to interrupt. “I think Muxin has some feelings for Dali now. We better not try to fix something that’s working and let nature take its course.”
“Alright. It’s such a shame…” Lan Ruoxi licked her lips, feeling a little disappointed. “I wish to have grandchildren soon…”
