Novel Bin Chapter 1042 - Jade Tree
Chapter 1042 Jade Tree
“Alright, little rascals. You’re dismissed.” Old Madam waved her hand and said, “Remember, whoever dares to bully my sweetheart will have his skin peeled off by me! Go away now!”
Everyone instantly dispersed.
After leaving the golden tree, the younger members all gathered together and expressed their views on Hong Dali—
“It looks like this Hong Dali is useless. He doesn’t have any strength at all and even those elixirs don’t work on him, this is so amusing.”
“It’s just that Old Madam takes care of him too much. Sigh, this really causes us to be envious of him. When we wanted to apply for those elixirs, we had to go through so much trouble.”
“Exactly. But for this Hong Dali, he can eat it in handfuls and as snacks. This is really unacceptable.”
“Alright, stop talking behind his back. If Old Madam hears this, she will definitely give you guys a good beating. Since Old Madam is protecting him, let’s just keep a low-profile. According to the rules, he definitely will go to the Shenglong Royal Family Divine College for studies. Let’s talk about him after that. I reckon it won’t be long.”
“Right, why did I forget about that! According to the royal family’s rules, all of the younger members have to study in the Divine College to train. However... This Hong Dali doesn’t have any power at all, will he still be able to go there?”
“All of the members of the royal family will have to go, this has nothing much to do with how powerful one is. The main purpose of going there is to build our connections. Therefore, you understand what I mean.”
“Right, hahaha, it will definitely be interesting!”
While they were discussing their views on Hong Dali and how to teach him a lesson next time, Hong Dali and his group had already left the manor.
This time, only Tang Muxin, Li Nianwei, and the nine lackeys came with him, the rest were all training in the places where the Old Madam arranged for them. After all, this was the Shenglong Star, the territory of the Astral Royal Family. Their level didn’t even reach the Stellar-level. They didn’t want to embarrass the Young Master in crucial moments, so they stayed behind to train.
“Big Bro Dali, you said that you wanted to squander, then which places do you want to go to?” Hua Xiangyu had only intended to bring Hong Dali away from the other members then leave. But on second thought, Hong Dali had only arrived, it wouldn’t be good to just left him alone like this. She wasn’t in a rush to train, anyway. So why not give herself a break and bring him around.
“Ah, let’s just take a random walk around the place.” Hong Dali looked around at the surroundings, finding it quite familiar.
The place they were at now was quite similar to that of the Hong Family estate and Tianjing City on Old Earth. Hong Jun had probably designed the Hong Family estate based on the geographical structure here. The only difference was the design of the buildings—very obviously, with Earth’s past technology, it wasn’t possible to copy the design on Shenglong Star. Also, Hong Jun wasn’t a technology genius. This wasn’t Hong Jun’s fault, because those who were talented in martial arts were all idiots in regard to technology.
“Yup, let’s go to the city for a walk then.” Hua Xiangyu quickly summoned a car and brought them onboard. At the same time, she curiously asked, “Dali, your guards don’t seem to be very strong too.” In her eyes, the power level of Li Yang and the rest were only average. After all, she was a super-genius who entered the Star Sector-level at the age of 16.
“Oh, them?” Hong Dali very naturally answered, “They are not my guards, they are my lackeys, hehe.”
Hua Xiangyu’s eyes opened wide. “Huh?”
It was normal for someone of their status to bring guards out with them.
However, bring lackeys, and nine of them at that, this was indeed what a hedonist would do. But then again, this seemed to be quite normal too. If a prodigal didn’t bring lackeys with him, who would?
Li Yang even gracefully bowed towards Hua Xiangyu and said, “I am Young Master’s number two lackey, Li Yang, pleased to be at your service.” His words were very gentle and graceful, and his expression was 30% obsequious and 70% proud, looking very comical.
Hua Xiangyu completely broke down.
Very quickly, they had all boarded the car to the city. As for why they didn’t use a spacecraft, Hua Xiangyu explained that on this planet, everything must be preserved in the most natural and harmonious way possible. After all, in the universe, other than training, as humans, they still had to have a normal life.
If they made a big scene and caused a disturbance every time they went out, it would affect the moods of the people living here. Also, since there was only a small population living on Shenglong Star, it wouldn’t waste too much time using vehicles as transport—the AI would calculate the path for them, anyway. It was fast and also convenient.
“I see.” As Hong Dali listened, he ate his snacks and didn’t forget to share with the others. “Come, come. Everyone, eat a bit and boost some attributes. This stuff looks quite good. Yup, after the compensation money arrives, let’s go buy some in the black market. Just eat as much as you guys can. I’m rich, anyways.”
It was true that he was rich. He had as much as 30 billion Shenglong Dollars! Even though these elixirs cost a lot, he could still afford it!
Everyone grinned and took a handful, eating them like peanuts. Hua Xiangyu asked curiously, “Big Bro Dali, these elixirs are very expensive, even the cheapest ones also cost at least 10,000 Shenglong Dollars. It’s a bit of a waste to eat them as snacks. Unless that compensation money is a lot? But even so, I don’t think it will be enough for you to eat them like this, right?”
It was no wonder that Hua Xiangyu found it a waste.
Normally, she wouldn’t bring a lot of Shenglong Dollars with her. 10 minutes or so was already enough for her to use. After all, she didn’t need to buy many things normally. But the cost of the elixir at least 10,000 and up to a million or more. At this rate of eating, who could afford it?
“Oh, the compensation money? It’s indeed quite a lot.” Hong Dali was quite nonchalant about this because he always didn’t have many concepts of money. “30 billion, I think. It should be enough to eat, don’t worry.”
He spoke of it very lightly and the rest also didn’t put it to heart. After all, following the Young Master, they had never needed to worry. They had never run out of money and just bought whatever they wanted. This was already a habit to them, a habit! Haha!
However, Hua Xiangyu was really astonished this time. “How much!? 30 billion? Shenglong Dollars?”
Although she was a super-genius in the Shenglong Royal Family, even Hua Xiangyu didn’t see so much money before. That’s 30 billion, no wonder he dared to eat the elixirs like this. He could afford to buy thousands of these elixirs easily!
“That’s right. Speaking of which, those High Nobles were quite generous...” Hong Dali grinned and looked at Hua Xiangyu, then said, “Sister Xiangyu, is there anything that you like? If there is, I shall buy a set for you. Oh right, the compensation money isn’t here yet, so I only have 10 million on me now. It’s indeed not a lot.”
Hong Dali felt that this wasn’t a lot, but Hua Xiangyu didn’t feel the same way.
Ten million Shenglong Dollars wasn’t a small amount, it was enough to buy a galaxy. Yet, Hong Dali used it like it was a small change...
“Since I am a prodigal, I should play something innovative.” Hong Dali touched his chin and said, “Let’s go stroll inside the malls first and see what the prices are like.” The System requested for him to squander 100,000 Shenglong Dollars in three days’ time, but he needed to understand the current price level of the goods on this planet first.
If the purchasing power of Shenglong Dollars was strong, that would be quite troublesome for him—100,000 Shenglong Dollars wasn’t a large sum of money, nor was it a small sum.
Since he had decided to go look at the prices first, large-scale malls were naturally the best choice. Very quickly, the car gradually came to a stop in front of a large jade-like tree.
The tree had a diameter of 300 meters and was so high that it shot past the clouds.
“This is the place.” Hua Xiangyu brought everyone down, smiled and said, “Jade Tree, this is one of the biggest malls in Tianyuan City. Overall speaking, the kinds of stuff here are above average. It’s considered not bad.”
Oh, that’s good. Now, everything is ready but one!
They walked inside.
This was indeed one of the largest shopping centers in Tianyuan City, the human traffic wasn’t small. Most of the people here wore armors and looked quite strong too. From this, it could be seen that what was sold here was mainly equipment. As for common day stuff such as food and stuff, there wasn’t a need to take a look, they were definitely not worth much.
Just as they were about to go in, Hua Xiangyu suddenly looked somewhere not far away on her right side, then frowned and stopped.
Everyone turned their heads and looked, then quickly understood what happened.
They saw a young man and woman, both wearing gorgeous-looking armor. The male looked about 20 plus, quite handsome, and his body was a perfect triangle shape, very charismatic. More importantly, on his chest was a medal! It was completely golden in color, and at the center were two purple stars.
Hong Dali didn’t know what this medal represented, but Hua Xiangyu was very clear that this represented the wearer’s power.
Green bronze, Planet-level. Silver, Stellar-level. Golden, Star Sector-level!
A gold medal with two stars represented that his level was—Star Sector level two!
Being able to become a level two Star Sector warrior at the age of 20 plus, the talent of this young man wasn’t normal!
A handsome appearance, powerful strength, and being born in the royal family, this young man had already mesmerized the young women around him, causing them to stop in place and stare at him.
Compared to him, Hong Dali was like a country bumpkin. They weren’t comparable at all.
Also, the young girl beside him was almost as beautiful as Hua Xiangyu. She had beautiful purple long hair and a sexy body. The ice crystal necklace she wore seemed to be like a mysterious black hole, attracting the attention of everyone else, and also causing her to look even more beautiful and mysterious.
