Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There were about 2,000 plus stray cats and dogs in total, it would be a big project shaving off all of their hair. But what Hong Dali said made sense, it was better to shave everything away and let them grow them back. Also, they would be able to observe if they had any skin disease or something. The leader instantly agreed and said, “OK, I will follow your orders.”
Hong Dali laughed and said, “You guys will be busy and tired for some time. After this batch is settled, I will see if there’s any more of them out there. Do this first, I will definitely reward you guys later.”
“It’s our honor to be able to serve the Young Master.” The leader hurriedly thanked him.
“Yup. OK, let’s go.” Having settled the things here, Hong Dali acted like a leader who was inspecting his territory, being followed by a large group of people in a very imposing manner. They then directly went to the third floor.
This was allocated to become a gaming studio by Hong Dali, Lin Zixuan knew that.
Now that she had come to her own territory, the small lass was quite happy. “Brother Dali, this place is really big!” As she said so, she ran inside and touched all the new computers that were just installed. “Wow, these are all top-level configuration computers, right? The monitor is so big, it must be at least 30-inches! This mouse and keyboard! Hahaha! This is my world! Mine! I’m the queen of this place in the future!”
Seeing her so happy, Hong Dali and Tang Muxin shared a look. Tang Muxin smiled and said, “Sister Zixuan, I’m afraid that you can’t be a queen, but being a princess is no problem, hehe.”
“Princess is fine too!” How could she still endure after seeing these computers? Lin Zixuan ran back to Hong Dali and shook his elbow. “Brother Dali, let me play here for a while, please? Just a while!”
What was there to reject? Hong Dali didn’t even consider and decided. “Sure, you can play here for as long as you want. Oh right, since there’s nothing to do anyway, let’s all play together!”
Turn on the computer, start the game—Hong Dali played for a while and was dissatisfied. “It’s so troublesome training from the start. Let me see... one, two, three, four...”
Then, he told one of the lackeys, “Go buy 11 max-leveled accounts and the best equipment, one set per person! We shall go and fight the large dungeons!”
“OK!” The lackey whose profession was a lackey, and his interest was also to be a lackey, Li Yang, ran off like the wind. He came back in just a short while. “I... I, Young Master, I just went and asked. There are quite a lot of max-leveled accounts but very little equipment on sale. There isn’t enough to make 11 full sets. I spent a lot of effort to get just two full sets of the best equipment for Young Master and Young Madam, the rest are all at least two standards lower.”
Being a quick-witted lackey, Li Yang naturally understood that his own equipment should be at least two notches lower than his master’s. Otherwise, wouldn’t he be snatching his master’s glory? But it was true that the highest quality equipment in this game was really hard to get. Sports were prevalent in this world, the people of people who played online games were much less than that from his previous life. Therefore, the highest quality equipment was quite rare too.
“Damn! What country bumpkins are they!?” Hong Dali was unhappy. “This is depressing. If there’s really no other way, then let’s just go with this for now.”
Therefore, Li Yang ran out like the wind again. Very quickly, a group of people wearing luxurious equipment that could cause others to go blind from their shininess went to the dungeon. After fighting the dungeon for a while, Hong Dali got restless and said, “This stupid game’s design is really boring. We’re just running here and there, and there aren’t any equipment drops...”
Tang Muxin said at the side, “It’s natural for the drop rate to be low. The dungeons are mainly for casual play, the main thing to do is to PvP. Many players stop doing dungeons once their equipment is roughly enough for use.” She was quite enthusiastic about playing. “If it were too easy to get good equipment, then there wouldn’t be much point in playing, right?”
“The problem is, we can’t fight the difficult dungeon with just 10 plus people. That dungeon will definitely drop better items!” Hong Dali humphed. “Sigh, if we want to fight, then we should be fighting the hardest boss there is...”
Tang Muxin said, “Well, those types of bosses will need at least 40 people to fight. You want to fight it with just the 10 of us?”
“That’s true...” He threw away the mouse and went over to see Lin Zixuan playing PvP and owning the other players. He smiled happily and said, “Our Sister Zixuan is really awesome, look at her dominating her opponents. This is much better, this is the effect that a game should have, fightings dungeons are too boring—sigh, Xiaoyi, about the E-Sports, how is the advertising?”
Mentioning this, the expression of Ling Xiaoyi, who just killed a monster, instantly turned quite interesting. “Well... Young Master, I didn’t dare to tell you about this matter. We were going to start the advertisements for it earlier on, but after that, I asked around and didn’t do it...”
“Hm? What’s the reason?” This wasn’t right, this didn’t seem to be Ling Xiaoyi’s style. Hong Dali strangely asked, “Because of what?”
Ling Xiaoyi said with difficulty, “This... this game, ‘The Draconic Continent Language,’ was developed by the Liu Family’s Liu Mingxin’s Mingxin Network. Once I thought about the relationship between Young Master and Liu Mingxin...”
Hong Dali immediately felt invigorated. “This game belongs to that fellow? Xiaoyi, do you have his number? I’m going to ask for a GM account from him!”
Hong Dali’s words shocked everyone. Tang Muxin shouted, “Are you crazy! You guys are not friends, and you are going to ask for a GM account from him?”
Hong Dali took out his phone. “What’s wrong with that? Xiaoyi, what’s his number?”
“Er, let me check.” Ling Xiaoyi looked for his number and found it very quickly. Hong Dali dialed the number without another word. It connected, and soon after, a low, pleasant sounding voice came from the other side. “Hello, you are...”
Hong Dali grinned and said, “Is this Old Liu? I’m Hong Dali! What are you doing now? Have you gone to any matchmaking lately? Do you have a girlfriend now?”
“Er...” Liu Mingxin was dazed for a while. He then bitterly laughed and said, “May I know the reason for your call? It wasn’t just because you wanted to chit-chat with me, right?”
Hong Dali grinned and threw out a trap. “Of course, it wasn’t because of that. Are you free now? Come to Chenhui Building and let me kidnap you for fun?”
Once these words came out, everyone around him collapsed in shock. Tang Muxin’s heart beat furiously and thought to herself, Dali can’t be serious about kidnapping him, right?
The problem was, Hong Dali had already said this. If Liu Mingxin found a reason not to come, that would mark him as a coward. He laughed and said, “Since Young Master Dali has already asked, I naturally can’t reject you. Then, please wait for me for a while, I will get there in 10 minutes.”
Hong Dali said, “Remember, it’s on the third floor, don’t go to the wrong place! Be careful on the road, don’t speed.”
“Hehe, I know. At this hour, I can’t speed even if I wanted to. Still, I thank you for your concern, Young Master Dali.”
After hanging up, Hong Dali proudly placed one leg over the other. “Oh my, what should I do when Old Liu arrives later? Steam him in the broth? Simmer? Sweet and sour? Or should I just slice him?”
Tang Muxin rolled her eyes. “I can’t be bothered to pay attention to you.”
Ten minutes later.
The super handsome Young Master Liu Mingxin was still in that tranquil and leisure demeanor of his, and his face carried a smile that could charm all women as he gradually walked in. As he walked, he said, “Young Master Dali summoned me, I really dare not reject. But I wonder what orders Young Master Dali have for me?”
Seeing Liu Mingxin appear, Tang Muxin was used to seeing him, while this was the first time Lin Zixuan saw him. She exclaimed in surprise, “What a handsome big brother!” Then, she continued to play her game...
Ever since he came of age, Liu Mingxin had never received such cold treatment, causing him to be momentarily embarrassed. He pointed at Lin Zixuan and asked, “Er... Young Master Dali, this beautiful young lady is...”
Hong Dali didn’t reply and instead snapped his fingers. “Seize him!”
Three lackeys jumped forth and hugged his hands and legs. Liu Mingxin was instantly pressed onto the soda. He gave a bitter smile and said, “Young Master Dali, don’t tell me that you really want to kidnap me?”
Hong Dali grinned and said, “Of course! It’s so rare for you to be here, I definitely must extort something from you! Help me honestly, is ‘The Draconic Continent Language’ your asset?”
“Well...” Liu Mingxin helplessly said, “I think so.”
Hong Dali stretched out a hand. “Don’t think, be straightforward. Do you have a GM account? Lend me to play.”
“For... for real?” The always composed Liu Mingxin was totally stunned. “You specifically called me here just to ask for a GM account!?”
Hong Dali sniffled and said, “What else? You know that I’m not interested in doing business, my interest is to squander. Speaking of this, these few days I noticed quite a lot of people playing this game from your company. It seemed quite interesting, so I could only look for you—give me a max-leveled account with a set of god-level equipment. And also, that stuff such as jewels, potions and such—give me the best there is in the game! Hm, one set isn’t enough. There’s so many of us here, give each one of us a set!”
“...” Liu Mingxin was totally speechless.
This was probably the first time in the history of online gaming that someone kidnapped the Director of the game company for the purpose of getting some equipment—Hong Dali was the only one who would actually do such a thing! The problem was that Liu Mingxin couldn’t reject him—no one was willing to have this superprodigal as their opponent. Liu Mingxin was certain that if dared to say no, Hong Dali would definitely make his own online game!
Heaven knows what would happen if this lucky fellow really did that. Liu Mingxin still hadn’t forgotten how his brother’s Turkey Bookstore collapsed. This kind of thing might happen to him too.
Now, Liu Mingxin could only resign to fate. “OK, since I’m already here, then I might as well squander with you today.” This dude was definitely someone who knew when to let go. Since he was already here, he might as well magnanimously squander with Hong Dali—that might actually let his mood turn for the better.
“Brouhaha!” Hong Dali excitedly laid his elbow on Liu Mingxin’s shoulder, laughed and said, “You do indeed respect me. Fine, I shall squander wholeheartedly today. Then, after that, let’s discuss a bit of business. Hehe, what do you think?”
The always tranquil Liu Mingxin showed disbelief. “You want to cooperate with me!? Young Master Dali, you are aware of the relationship between our families, right? I can mess around with you once, but do you really plan on cooperating with me?”
“I know that.” Hong Dali strangely said, “What has their stuff got to do with us. I quite like you, so I thought I might as well not let the benefits go to someone I am not familiar with...”
