Chapter 478
Chapter 478: I Must Squander!
A five-kilometer range was neither near nor far, especially this period when the traffic on the road to the outer area of Tianjing Mountain seemed to be quite well maintained because of the Sci-fi town.
Ten kilometers, nine kilometers, eight kilometers… Very quickly, Hong Dali and the rest came into the five-kilometer range where the signal for the detection device was the most accurate.
“Start the detection!” The mysterious man instantly ordered.
“OK!” As Dr. Ai Hui turned on the luck detector device, everyone’s eyes gathered on the monitor. After a short while, on the monitor, the red probing needle started to tremble and slowly raised!
“It’s moving, it’s moving!” The mysterious man’s feelings became quite perturbed. “This Hong Dali, what level will his luck stop at? Continuous Good Luck? Redirecting Trouble? Good Fortune Befalls You?”
As he felt increasingly nervous, Dr. Ai Hui and the rest didn’t even dare to breathe heavily. Very quickly, the red probing needle passed the first three unlucky levels and continued to rise!
But the speed at which it rose was slower than expected. Even the mysterious man’s own luck rose faster than this previously.
“That… That’s it?” The mysterious man frowned and looked at the location where the needle stopped, his eyeballs almost popping out.
Because not to mention reaching the level of Continuous Good Luck, it didn’t reach his own level of Lucky Life.
Hong Dali’s luck level actually stopped at the lowest normal luck level… Happy Contented Life!
“This… This…” The mystery man stared in bewilderment and asked Dr. Ai Hui, “Could it be that there’s some problem with the device? Hong Dali’s luck couldn’t possibly be only at this level, right?”
Dr. Ai Hui’s head was full of sweat, the droplets dripping down like rain.
Hong Dali’s luck was only at the first normal level, Happy Contented Life, who would believe that? Therefore, he decisively replied, “Leader, the device might be malfunctioning. I shall do maintenance now.”
“Yup, OK. Try to speed up.” The mysterious man got even more anxious. The more he was unable to predict Hong Dali’s luck, the more anxious he was in his heart. He knew that Hong Dali’s luck was very good, but now he realized that Hong Dali’s luck couldn’t even be compared to his own. It wasn’t difficult to understand what his feeling was like now.
Very quickly, Dr. Ai Hui opened up the luck detector device and checked all the parts. There wasn’t any problem, so he could only put them back, restarted the system, and said, “Maybe there’s something wrong with the system, there’s nothing wrong with the hard-drive. Let’s restart it and take a look.”
“Yup, let’s see if it’s better this time.” The mysterious man anxiously said.
The system was rebooted very quickly. After it rebooted, the needle started to rise again, but the final result was still Happy Contented Life!
“Leader, I… I…” Dr. Ai Hui was so anxious that he almost cried. “I really don’t know what’s wrong with it…”
“Don’t panic, let me think first.” The mysterious man touched his chin and pondered. “Hong Dali’s luck is only this much? Who will believe that? But this detection device only stopped here, could it be that there’s more to it than I am seeing? Happy Contented Life, Happy Contented Life…”
He muttered this for a while and suddenly, his eyes lit up. “If we disregard the luck detector device and just place emphasis on the phrase Happy Contented Life, this is indeed true of Hong Dali’s character. Could the reason be this?”
Thinking up to this point, the mysterious man instantly said, “Dr. Ai Hui, don’t worry, just leave the device on first. Everyone take note of it constantly and check on it to see if the values will fluctuate. Didn’t you said before that the luck level isn’t always the same.”
“O… OK!” Seeing that the mysterious man didn’t blame him, Dr. Ai Hui let out a breath of relief.
…
Hong Dali wasn’t aware of what the mysterious man was doing. Currently, he and his group had entered the carpark in New Lanxiang Vocational School. Hong Dali looked around at the surroundings and was stunned for a while. He felt strange and asked, “Didn’t the recruitment drive already ended, why are there still so many people here?”
It was no wonder he asked this, the number of cars here was at least three or four times the amount when he came last time. The carpark almost didn’t have enough parking lots…
“Isn’t it because of the high wage that you offered.” The Bureau Chief harshly said, “200,000 a year, that’s 200,000 yuan a year! Who can resist this wage! Ever since you said it, at least several thousands of people come here every day to interview for the job. And they are not only from our country, but there are also even quite a lot of teachers from other countries! Plus the foreign reporters and the students who wish to enroll, it became like this.”
“Ah, I see, that’s not bad.” Hong Dali grinned and pushed open the door. “Then, let’s go, Uncle Chief. Let’s take a look at the Holy Garments you transported here first. If these people are willing to tour around, then just let them be.”
“Actually, speaking of which, this isn’t a bad thing.” The Bureau Chief followed Hong Dali out of the car, smiled, and said, “At least no one suspected of the real purpose of our New Lanxiang yet. This complies with the reason why we selected you as the spokesperson in the first place.” As the Bureau Chief said that, he subconsciously praised him. “Speaking of which, your car is really not bad.”
Last time when the Bureau Chief sought Hong Dali, it was because of Hong Dali’s reputation.
A prodigal who only knew how to squander, what a wonderful disguise that was. Who would suspect that this place was a major project of the government when it was built by such a person!?
“Lackeys, open the umbrella!” Since he was a superprodigal, how could he let his skin be exposed to the hot sun? Therefore, once he alighted, Hong Dali gathered his lackeys to open his professional umbrella—ten plane models flew up and quickly, this sector was covered by a cloud…
The Bureau Chief covered his face. It looked like this fellow was planning to do this forever from now on…
At this moment, their commotion had already attracted the interest of the various reporters taking pictures nearby. After all, this dry ice umbrella was something only Hong Dali would use, others definitely wouldn’t do such a thing.
A bunch of reporters gathered around them, and one of them was actually an old acquaintance, John. His microphone almost touched Hong Dali’s face. “Young Master, you are finally here! This place has already gathered such a high amount of popularity in just a few days, may I ask if you have anything to say about it?”
Hong Dali looked around, cleared his throat, and said, “Yup, this is the power of squandering!”
The Bureau Chief, Tang Muxin, Li Nianwei, and the rest all moved a step back in unison.* We are not familiar with this fellow!*
Hong Dali’s reply caused the reporters to collapse. Another reporter pushed forth and asked, “Then, Young Master, do you have any plans for this school!?”
“I do. Of course I have!” Hong Dali replied with a serious face, “I’m going to make this the largest technical school in the entire world!”
God! The Bureau Chief pulled Tang Muxin and the rest along and wanted to escape. Hear what he is saying, the largest technical school in the entire world! Can you remove the word “technical”? This won’t do. If people find out about my identity as the leader of the National Security Bureau, I will not be able to face the world anymore!
The reporters hurriedly noted that down—”Young Master Dali wants to build the largest technical school in the entire world!”
Someone asked, “Then, Young Lord Dali, according to your plan, you will invest two billion as wage for the teachers. Will you be able to recoup this loss with such a high investment?”
“Prodigals never need to consider the cost of investment.” Hong Dali grinned and answered, “How could it be possible for me to rack my head on how to earn money? That isn’t something a successful prodigal will do!”
Then, John asked again, “Then, Young Master Dali, why must you be a prodigal?”
That was a good question!
Hong Dali proudly replied, “I must squander. If I don’t squander, how can I live up to the country… Wu… Wu wu…”
If he let Hong Dali finish his words, Heavenly State wouldn’t be able to face the world again. The Bureau Chief went up, covered Hong Dali’s mouth, and pulled him away. The Bureau Chief’s face was as black as charcoal. “Little rascal, if you dare to speak again, do you believe that I will ground you!”
Tang Muxin, Li Nianwei, and the rest all lowered their heads, almost burying it in their chest…
Seeing that the situation wasn’t right, the city guards who were in charge of security hurriedly rushed over and dispersed the crowd. “Everyone, please go somewhere else and do your interviews, the Young Master still has important matters to attend to. We hope that you will not waste his time anymore, thank you!”
Since the security guards had already said this, what else could they say? The crowd instantly said their goodbyes. “Then, Young Master Dali, we shall go and look around at the other places. If we have any more queries, we will come and ask you again!”
“Wu wu… Wu wu…” Hong Dali frantically waved his arms while the Bureau Chief smiled at the reporters and said, “Everyone, please go take a look at the other places, this kid has agreed to your requests…”
After finally waiting for them to leave, the Bureau Chief fiercely pulled Hong Dali’s left year while Tang Muxin pulled his right ear. “Little rascal (Dali), next time, if you dare to talk nonsense to the reporters again, the consequences will be very severe!”
“OK, OK.” Hong Dali nodded and said, “Next time I will definitely answer properly, answer properly…”
This rascal, he really doesn’t let people rest their hearts!
The Bureau Chief was really helpless, but he mustn’t forget his mission. “You will really be the death of me. Follow me, I will bring you to see the newest generation of Mechanical Holy Garments!”
“OK, OK!” This was still better than anything else! Hong Dali vigorously nodded.
Very quickly, they came to a large-sized warehouse inside the interior building of the school. The Bureau Chief smiled, took out the key, and opened the door. “Come in. Once you see these newest generation Mechanical Holy Garments, you will definitely like them.”
As Hong Dali hurriedly followed him in, his eyes immediately shone. Because there were an entire hundred pieces of Mechanical Holy Garments orderly placed there.
“Brouhaha! This is good, this is excellent!” Hong Dali laughed loudly and said, “Indeed, Uncle Chief is still the most awesome!”
