Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

At the same time, Heavenly State, East Ocean.

On Hong Dali’s aircraft carrier, Big Fish, Lin Chuyin’s laboratory.

“Young Master.” Ling Xiaoyi walked in casually. When she saw Hong Dali, she smiled and reported. “Master has just transferred three billion into your account. He said it’s for you to use as you deem fit.”

Three billion! Aiya, this was good news. His funds were running low with the purchase of the aircraft carriers and the stones—the crux was, he had to squander. He had to see what kind of science and technology blueprint he could exchange from the system.

“Hmm, this is good, this is good.” Hong Dali nodded vigorously. He stood up, stretched lazily, and yawned. “Chuyin ah, don’t work on the energy release device now. Take a break. Help me think about how to spend money.” Three billion ah, he came from a mediocre family previously and had no idea at all—if it were 300,000, he would have no problem spending it!

“Orh.” Hearing that, Lin Chuyin put down the welding torch. The little lass was just like before, but she looked much more gentle now. This was the result of Hong Dali’s training. She thought for a while before saying, “We can buy a tank, or a fighter aircraft, or even develop new concept weapons. But we don’t have much use for both convention and new concept weapons. If we manage to successfully develop the energy release device, there will be no other necessary accessories required for conventional and new concept weapons.”

“That’s indeed a problem.” Hong Dali looked at the energy release device in the corner.

Hong Dali spent 400 million before he was able to obtain an energy gem when he was stone-gambling. With a basic 8 points and an additional 8 points, it was worth 16 points. Coupled with the energy amplifier that Lin Chuyin came out with, when they get installed on the Mechanical Holy Garment…

“Aiya, I didn’t expect spending would be such a big problem!” Hong Dali sniffled and sat down on the sofa. He arrogantly propped his legs on the coffee table in front of him, looking as stylish as he could be. “How do I spend this money?”

It was common to be worried about how to earn money.

But Hong Dali was worried about how to spend money. Three billion. It was meaningless to spend it on minor things, but he didn’t know what to buy. Without squandering, he wouldn’t get attribute points. Without attribute points, he couldn’t exchange for interesting things—that made him feel uncomfortable!

Hearing that Hong Dali wanted to spend money, everyone became silent.

It was indeed a headache thinking of ways to spend three billion. In the sea, he already had two aircraft carriers, Big Fish and Second Fish. On the ground, he already had Granzon and Valsion. They were perfect sports cars, with defensive systems in place.

The only thing he was short of were things in the sky. But those that flew in the sky did not cost much. Ordinary fighter aircraft cost only twenty to thirty million. A better one might cost up to 100 million—the key problem was that better ones could not be bought. It was meaningless to buy an ordinary one since one could fly with the Mechanical Holy Garment. It was pointless to buy a fighter aircraft…

But if he did not buy a fighter aircraft, what else could he buy?

“Chuyin ah, is there any high-quality fighter aircraft?” Hong Dali’s eyes sparkled like stars. “It must cost at least 100 million!” Forget it, the priority was to spend the money in exchange for attribute points. As for what he could do with the fighter aircraft, he could think about that later!

“Oh, the price of fighter aircraft.” Lin Chuyin thought a while and quickly replied, “F-24, the building cost of each is 85 million US dollars. F-36, building cost of 60 million US dollars. F-16, 27.9 million US dollars. F/A-18, 27 million US dollars. F-19, 14.6 million US dollars. B-3, 600 million US dollars.” As a technological geek, she had naturally done research on fighter aircraft. She easily recited the model number and price of different aircraft fighters.

“B-3 costs 600 million?!” Hong Dali got excited when he heard the price!

600 million! Just one of them was equivalent to sixty attribute points! If he bought five of these, that would gain him 300 attribute points! Woah, that was simply too powerful?!

“But B-3 is Merika’s best fighter aircraft. They won’t sell it.” Lin Chuyin threw cold water on him instantly.

Hong Dali felt disheartened—what was the point of mentioning it if he couldn’t buy it. He got worked-up for nothing…

“But, Heavenly State’s J-26 seems to cost quite a lot. About 120 million yuan.” Lin Chuyin thought for a while and said, “It’s possible to buy this one.”

“J-26?” Hong Dali stared with his eyes wide open. “Is it powerful? But it’s a little cheap…”

“Conventional weapon,” Lin Chuyin explained. “J-26 is a fourth-generation dual-engine heavy-duty stealth fighter aircraft developed by Heavenly State Aircraft Industry (Group) Co., Ltd. for the Heavenly State military. The fuselage adopts single-seat, double-engine, full-motion double-tail, DSI drum-inlet air intake, and upper anti-duck wing with pointed arch. The nose and body are diamond-shaped. Canted vertical tails, and serrated landing gear door. The side missile module adopts an innovative structure, which can close the missile pylon in advance, and is equipped with the most advanced fighting missile in the country.”

“It sounds impressive…” Hong Dali was interested in stuff like that, but the problem was that it was too cheap. “But one only costs 120 million, it’s not enough…”

Hearing that, everyone sighed…

“Speaking of which, it’s not easy to spend money.” Tang Muxin pouted—she used to hate it when Hong Dali squandered. But her biggest pleasure now was to watch Hong Dali squander…

“Young Master, what is it?” As everyone was fretting, Lucifer dashed in.

This whole time, Lucifer watched as Hong Dali and Lin Chuyin researched on technology. Partly, it was to steal glances at Lin Chuyin, and lastly, it was because he was also a technological geek—he came to the laboratory whenever he was bored. As he was afraid of exposing his identity, he didn’t dare to talk much. But watching was just as enjoyable…

“It’s vexing.” Hong Dali wore a long face and sighed dejectedly. “Thinking of how to spend money.”

“You don’t know how to spend?” Lucifer was stunned for a while. Then he laughed. “That’s a simple problem. How much is it? I’ll help you think of something.”

“Three billion.” Hong Dali was listless.

Lucifer sat down with a “Pudong”. “How… much?”

“Three billion…” Hong Dali pulled his face as he looked at Lucifer. “There’s no way to spend this money. There’s nothing worth buying…”

“This…” Lucifer was dumbstruck. He thought of the time when he was locked at Merika’s Hexagon Building, his annual salary was only five million US dollars. He thought that was already quite a lot—in fact, it was really a lot. But comparing with Hong Dali, Lucifer’s face was tear-stained. It seemed like his decision to follow Young Master Dali was right!

Hence, both idiots started to think of how to spend this money.

It was tough, indeed. At Hong Dali’s level, the basic necessities of life—clothing, food, shelter and means of traveling—the clothes he wore were luxury goods that cost tens of thousands. He ate the best food, with the pigs being fed with ginseng. He stayed in an aircraft carrier. There was no room for upgrading. Alright, in the sea, there was the great white shark, Xiao Bai. On the ground, he had Granzon, and in the air, he had the Mechanical Holy Garment.

Hong Dali did not need to fret about the few main important things in life. As a result, the money could not be spent decisively…

“Speaking of which…” As Lucifer thought for quite a while, his eyes suddenly lit up. He laughed. “Young Master, I’ve got an idea. This money could definitely be spent!”

“Oh? Tell me about it!” Hearing that, Hong Dali’s eyes lit up too. “What’s your idea?!”

“Let’s buy a satellite!” Lucifer said excitedly. “I always wanted to buy one of those! The absolute equipment for peeping!”

“Satellite!” Hearing that, Hong Dali almost drooled. “This is good! Aiya, hearing what you say, it feels exciting. We’ll buy that!”

Tang Muxin pinched Hong’s arm. “You can buy satellites, but no peeping at others! Isn’t there enough beautiful ladies here!”

“Pain! Pain!” Hong Dali wailed. “I only want to squander, he’s the one that wants to peep…”

“That’s more like it!” Tang Muxin stopped pinching him. Li Nianwei and Ling Xiaoyi laughed as they stood at the side. These two were always at loggerheads. It was interesting to hear them quarrel.

Now that they finally thought of how to spend the money, they got into action immediately. Hong Dali took out his smartphone and called Bureau Chief. “Uncle Chief, what are you doing?”

Not having seen him for several days, the Bureau Chief ‘s voice was gentle. “Yes, Dali ah, what is it? Is anything the matter?”

Hong Dali thought for a while on how to put it across. “It’s a small thing. I want to buy something, but I don’t know how…”

“Yo, what did our big prodigal think of?” The Bureau Chief was happy to hear that. “What do you want to buy? Tell me about it. Aiya, Dali wants to squander, we will support you.”

“Yes, yes.” Hong Dali sniffed. “I want to buy a satellite. But I don’t know where to buy it from…”

As he said that, the phone on the other side dropped to the floor with a “pa ta”. After a long while, the Bureau Chief’s voice sounded loudly on the phone. “You rascal, what did you say? You want to buy a satellite?!”
