Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

“Dali, do I look good?” Tang Muxin put the cloak over her shoulders and turned around in front of Hong Dali excitedly. “How does it feel?”

“Not bad.” Hong Dali laughed. “Looks very noble, hehe!”

Clothes made the man, indeed. Tang Muxin was already beautiful. In addition to the cloak for Honorary Aristocrats’ close and trusted people, her identity also went up by several levels. She looked like an elegant little princess.

“Sweet talking!” Tang Muxin was very happy with what Hong Dali said. She inched closer to Hong Dali and gave him a peck on the lips. Her entire face turned red and she retreated to a corner shyly…

“Xinxin is embarrassed again.” Li Nianwei, who looked much more elegant and graceful in the cloak, held of Tang Muxin’s arm and whispered, “Previously, Dali was in Xinxin’s room…”

“Aiya, Sister Nianwei, you’re making fun of me!” Tang Muxin wanted to dig a hole and hide. “I won’t allow you to continue!”

“I won’t say anything, then.” Li Nianwei put her hands on Tang Muxin’s shoulders like a gentle elder sister. “Whatever Xinxin says, I’ll do. Hehe.”

“Oh right, Big Brother Tianzong,” Everyone talked and laughed for a while, then Hong Dali suddenly rubbed his nose and said, “The ‘Secrets of Dark Energy’, what is it?”

“Secrets of Dark Energy?” Yin Tianzong smiled. “It’s not worth much. Simply put, black-level Honorary Aristocrats can master this. It’s a type of mysterious energy advanced martial arts.”

“Warriors, the first step is to gather mysterious energy in the body. When it is gathered and the body is strengthened to the maximum attribute of 500, then you will be able to master the ‘Secrets of Dark Energy.’

“The Universe consists of ordinary matter, dark matter, and dark energy. Dark matter accounts for 25% of the Universe and dark energy accounts for 70%. The ordinary matter that we see only accounts for 5% of the Universe’s mass. Dark matter and energy dominate the entire Universe.

“When warriors’ attributes are qualified, the ‘Secrets of Dark Energy’ allows the body to strengthen significantly by absorbing a small amount of the Universe’s dark energy.

“The black-level Honorary Aristocrat Wu Qing is a master in ‘Secrets of Dark Energy.’ But…”

Speaking up to this point, Yin Tianzong looked at Levis and smiled. “Your underling, or should I say, friend, his foundation is much stronger than Wu Qing’s. If he mastered this ‘Secrets of Dark Energy’, hehe…”

Levis could control his muscles and strengthen his body!

Although he was defeated by Wu Qing with just one move, even Wu Qing was shocked by his solid foundation.

If he mastered “Secrets of Dark Energy”…

“Wow. Big Brother Tianzong,” Hong Dali’s eyes were all starry, “could you get me a copy of this ‘Secrets of Dark Energy’? My Big Brother Levis needs it!”

“I don’t have it now.” He did not expect Yin Tianzong to shrug his shoulders helplessly. “My basic attributes are far from 500. Even if I add attribute gemstones all over it’s not sufficient. It should take another ten years before I am able to master it. Hence, I didn’t pay much attention to it…”

Hearing that, Hong Dali got a little anxious. “How… how can I get it, then?”

“Actually, it’s quite easy.” Yin Tianzong smiled. “There are two ways.”

“One, become a black-level Honorary Aristocrat. It will naturally be given to you.” Yin Tianzong then said sneakily, “Two, I heard that there is a copy in the Tower of Trials this time. It is the reward for passing level twenty-five. Hehe, this is a top-secret that only Roth clan Galaxy Aristocrats know about. Not anyone can hear it from me!”

Wasn’t this the legendary insider news?

Hong Dali winked at Yin Tianzong. “Big Brother Tianzong, thank you. I’ll go take a look, then. See if I can get a copy.”

“That’s okay. But it’s not easy. I heard the difficulty level is quite high.” Yin Tianzong acted mysteriously. “Actually, ‘Secrets of Dark Energy’ is considered one of the more common items in there. It costs at most twenty million. The best item inside is something that is of top-grade quality, but I have not managed to find out what it is exactly.”

There were better things in there?

Hong Dali’s eyes shone brightly. “I have to go take a look, then!”

“En, en. There are still three hours before the Tower of Trials begin.” Yin Tianzong smiled and said, “What do you intend to do in the meantime?”

“Need you ask?” Hong Dali laughed heartily and raised both his hands. “To squander, of course. Hahaha!”

Everyone went to the streets.

…

Shenluo City, on the other side, Dali Pawn Shop.

Today, Luo Qiang was waiting for customers as usual. Of course, when no one was there, he liked to enter the virtual world to earn some money.

But today seemed a little different from other days. Because an unusual guest had arrived.

It was a strange person whose age could not be determined. He was very big; four meters tall. He could be considered a giant. There was a black scarf around his head and he had a crescent-shaped white beard on his face. When he entered, he sat down on the sofa and did not look at Luo Qiang. He took a huge bottle with a diameter of half a meter from his waist, drank two big mouthfuls, and let out an alcohol-smelling breath. “Pawn.”

His voice was deep and full. Frightened by the voice, Luo Qiang almost fainted.

“Mister…” Luo Qiang carefully approached him and asked, “What would you like to pawn?”

The giant drank another mouthful of alcohol. “A person.”

Damn! You came to a pawnshop to pawn a person? Are you kidding me?

“This…” Luo Qiang was sweating all over. “I need to check with my boss. Pawning people… we have never done transactions like that…”

“Quick, go.” The giant placed the huge bottle on the ground, making a loud noise.

Oh my God, so scary!

Luo Qiang almost jumped up. He quickly ran to a distance and contacted Hong Dali. “Boss… boss, a weird person came to the pawnshop…”

“Ah? What weird person?” Hong Dali’s image asked curiously. “What’s the matter? What does he want to pawn?”

“People.” Luo Qiang’s head was full of sweat. “Do we accept?”

“Yes, of course, we’ll accept!” Not only did Hong Dali not reject, he asked instead, “Temporary or permanent?”

“I… I haven’t asked that…” Luo Qiang’s sweat fell like rain. “Should I ask?”

“En, go ask.”

Luo Qiang hurried back and asked, “Mister, the person that you wish to pawn, is it temporary or permanent…” Why did that sound so weird…

“After visiting so many shops, finally one is willing to accept.” The giant exhaled a breath and Luo Qiang almost suffocated from the smell of alcohol. “It doesn’t matter, I have to leave sooner or later.”

Damn!

At least have some sincerity? What does it mean by you have to leave sooner or later?”

Wait, wait a minute. This is too much information. You’re pawning a person, and you said you have to leave sooner or later. Could it be…

Luo Qiang’s hair stood on end. “Mister, you’re not thinking of, pawning yourself…”

“En, that’s right.” The giant nodded. “I’m pawning myself.”

“That… that…” Luo Qiang almost got dehydrated from the amount of sweat. “Name your price…”

“One hundred thousand Galaxy Dollars.” The giant put one finger forward.

“One year?” Luo Qiang was shocked.

“One month.” The giant was very calm.

Damn!

That’s too much, isn’t it? One hundred thousand Galaxy Dollars for one month?!

“You… please wait for a while…” Luo Qiang’s mind went blank. “Let me ask my boss again…”

When the communication device connected, Luo Qiang shouted, “Boss, that person wants to pawn himself, one hundred Galaxy Dollars a month!”

Hearing that, Hong Dali got curious. “Wow, that’s quite expensive!”

“Brother Dali, what’s the matter?” Yin Tianzong asked curiously, “What is quite expensive?”

“Ah, someone,” Hong Dali chuckled. “is intending to pawn himself at my pawn shop. One hundred thousand Galaxy Dollars a month. It’s a big deal!”

“Really?!” Yin Tianzhong was shocked. “Who is so full of himself?! Who does he think he is? Brother Dali, listen to me, he must be looking for trouble! Damn, he dares to actually create trouble at Brother Dali’s shop, this cannot be tolerated. I’m going to send someone to mince him up and feed the dogs!”

One hundred thousand Galaxy Dollars a month? Galaxy Aristocrats Guards only get ten thousand Galaxy Dollars a month! Who is he to ask for one hundred thousand?

“Don’t worry, don’t worry.” Hong Dali pulled back Yin Tianzong. “How could I miss such a good chance to squander? I have to accept the deal!”

“Accept?! One hundred thousand a month!” Yin Tianzong went berserk. “Brother Dali, how could you tolerate this?”

“I’m a prodigal,” Hong Dali said as matter-of-factly. “This is necessary!”

“I admit defeat…” When Yin Tianzong heard the words “prodigal”, he was speechless—his Brother Dali was also someone with great ambitions. To be the number one prodigal in the Universe, it seemed there was no way he could stop him!

“Brother Qiang,” Hong Dali beamed with delight. “accept it, accept it. Oh right, since he dares to ask for one hundred thousand a month, I’m sure he wouldn’t mind accepting another twenty thousand, right?”

Luo Qiang was dumbfounded on the other end of the communication device. “Boss, you’re not planning to…”

“That’s right!” Hong Dali fiercely nodded. “This fee!”

“I understand…”

Luo Qiang turned off the communication device and walked towards the giant listlessly. He sighed and said, “My boss said, he’ll offer another twenty thousand a month…”

“Wow, wow, wow, your boss is really interesting!” The giant laughed and drank another mouthful of alcohol. “Find me a room, then. I’ll stay here in the future!”

Luo Qiang felt like dying. Have we taken in a freeloader?!
