“Brother Dali!” Seeing Hong Dali finally coming out from the Tower of Trials, Yin Tianzong laughed loudly and walked up to welcome him. Upon seeing Hong Dali, he instantly said, “Brother Dali, a super-genius appeared from our Shenluo City! A super-genius! He passed level 30! He passed all of the 30 levels in just one afternoon, how impressive is that?”
“Oh, it’s just a Tower of Trials, that’s not very exaggerating, right?” Hong Dali really wasn’t very concerned with this—speaking of which, he didn’t intend to go so high, he just wanted to stroll around…
“Not exaggerating!?” Yin Tianzong stared his eyes wide and said, “How is that not exaggerating!? This is the Tower of Trials! You should know the difficulty inside, not just anyone can manage to get past level 30! The number one warrior in the past, Duan Xuan, he’s very powerful, right? But he only passed level 27 in such a place last time! But this time, this guy actually got past level 30, and you say that it’s not exaggerating?”
Is it very exaggerating? It didn’t seem very difficult…
“Then what now?” Hong Dali’s eyes stared wide and asked, “You guys should have some response to this, right?”
“Yes! Of course, there is!” Yin Tianzong excitedly said, “The Elders have passed down the newest information. As long as this person comes and reports to the city owner, he will be directly promoted to a purple-level Honorary Aristocrat! Purple-level! He will even be heavily groomed, that’s definitely a lot of benefits for him! After he goes to a few trial planets for show and comes back, he will definitely become a black-level Honorary Aristocrat, only one notch below the Galaxy Aristocrats. However, in terms of the real power that he can command, he definitely won’t lose to any Galaxy Aristocrat!”
“Oh, I see…” Hong Dali looked around and quickly saw the Honorary Aristocrats standing at one side. There was even one that wore a purple-colored cape. Hong Dali looked at it meticulously… It’s not very good looking, my golden cape is still more beautiful! And if I become well-known, I will be forced to practice martial arts day and night—god, such life is unbearable!
“Oh, average looking.” Hong Dali originally intended to tell Yin Tianzong that he was the person, but he decisively changed his mind now! He hurriedly took out something from his bag and said, “Oh right, Brother Tianzong, I got the Meridian Seven Star Sword for you.”
Saying so, he threw the sword to Yin Tianzong. Yin Tianzong grabbed it and instantly stopped what he wanted to say. He beamed with delight and said, “Oh my, Brother Dali, you are still the best! These useless fellows beside me might be useless in terms of business, but they can only get past one to two levels in the Tower of Trials, really pathetic. If not, I wouldn’t need to ask for your help—oh my, look at this appearance, look at this sharp edge. Good sword, good sword indeed!”
It might not definitely be a good sword, but it is definitely a cheap sword…
Hong Dali twitched his lips in disdain and said, “Brother Tianzong, can your scope of sight be larger. The attribute of this sword is too low. Although its effect isn’t bad, it isn’t very useless either. I have something better here, why don’t I give it to you too.”
“Huh? Something even better than this!?” Hearing this, Yin Tianzong was instantly astonished! The Meridian Seven Star Sword was already very precious to him, but Hong Dali had something even better!?
“Ah, that’s right.” Hong Dali looked through his bag again. “I think this one is still not bad…”
Saying so, he took out an even larger sword. This sword was ice-blue in color, and its size was comparable to Yin Tianzong himself. As Yin Tianzong looked at this sword, golden light instantly radiated from his eyes. “This… This is… This is the Heavenly Frost Sword! God, this is the reward for level 19! Brother Dali, you, you are really amazing!”
Heavenly Frost Sword, a divine-level broadsword. Its was extremely sharp, and the sword itself had a frost effect. When swinging this sword, the creatures nearby would all be frozen. Such a weapon was indeed worthy of being regarded as a divine item.
Actually, speaking of which, Yin Tianzong had only dreamed of getting ahold of the Meridian Seven Star Sword, which would already be good enough for him. After all, his strength was only average, and he didn’t really expect much from this Brother Dali who he took a liking to. After all, everyone’s attributes were limited here, it wasn’t easy to break through the levels.
But now, his Brother Dali actually gave him a divine item. This was really unexpected…
Those Honorary Aristocrats who didn’t think highly of Hong Dali were all stunned too…
The Heavenly Frost Sword was only obtainable as a reward from the treasure box on level 19! This was the best reward available for level 19, and Hong Dali actually got it!
The Honorary Aristocrats instantly silently discussed amongst themselves—
“This Hong Dali is quite formidable, he actually got past level 19!”
“Judging from his body shape, he doesn’t look like someone skilled in combat. In my opinion, he probably got lucky and obtained some special ability.”
“That’s possible. Sigh, maybe, he even fused with a soul stone before. After all, if a person fused with a soul stone dies, the corpse will become a soul stone again. If this Hong Dali was really lucky enough, it’s possible that he met a dying ability user and obtained his soul stone.”
“That’s right. Sigh, his luck is really too good!”
“Brother Dali!” Whilst they were secretly discussing, Yin Tianzong violently hugged Hong Dali’s shoulder, laughed loudly and said, “You are really incredible! Tell me, what do you want. As long as it’s something in my possession, you can have it!”
To other people, this condition was probably enough to make them die from envy. But towards Hong Dali, this condition wasn’t very attractive—the main thing being, he really didn’t lack anything…
“Brother Tianzong.” Hong Dali thought for a long while but still couldn’t think of anything. In the end, Hong Dali shook his head and said, “I don’t seem to lack anything…”
“No! This definitely can’t do!” Yin Tianzong instantly objected and said, “Ask for something, even if just for the sake of asking! If not, I won’t feel secure inside my heart. Being your elder brother, I have already received so many good things from you, this isn’t very suitable. I have to give you something back in return too, right?”
“Then… Alright.” Hong Dali thought for a while again, then suddenly remembered that James and a big bunch of people were still waiting to make a film. How could he have forgotten about such a good opportunity to squander? Upon thinking of this, Hong Dali’s eyes lit up. He smiled and said, “I did indeed think of something. Brother Tianzong, can you help me make a filming company? I want to film some stuff for fun… Such as buying some small planets and blowing them up for fun.”
The filming companies in this world were different from those on Earth.
On Earth, it wasn’t very difficult to register a filming company. After all, filming a movie was something very costly and could help to stimulate economic development, create entertainment for the masses and such. But here, in the Milky Way Alliance, it wasn’t so easy to register for a filming company.
The main reason being that piracy didn’t exist in this world. To register for a filming company, he would have to go through several levels of checks. The films he produced also wouldn’t be just casually screened, they would be required to go through all kinds of professional checks—after all, the Milky Way Alliance was too large, the number of films here was too many, as vast as the ocean. If there weren’t any checks, audiences would have a hard time finding a few good films from an ocean of films.
Therefore, it was impossible to enter the filming industry here without a strong backing and possession of powerful technology.
“Brother Dali, it’s not that I can’t help you with this.” Yin Tianzong pondered for a while, then explained meticulously, “I do indeed have filming companies under me, but this company didn’t produce any good films in recent years. Many a time, they only passed through the checks because of my position as a Galaxy Aristocrat. Even so, most of the time I am making a loss. If I pass this company to you, this will be counted in your starting asset. The influence of this on your advancement assessment won’t be small. After all, a filming company will require at least 30 million Galaxy Dollars to start. Then, if you want to produce a good film that can be both praised and earn money, you will need to throw at least another several tens of millions inside. It won’t be easy to earn this money back. If you make a loss, by that time…”
The Honorary Aristocrats had advancement assessments. In normal times, making small losses and profits wouldn’t really matter. But if he really made a large loss, the stress that Hong Dali would have to face during the advancement assessment wouldn’t be small!
Therefore, it wasn’t that Yin Tianzong was reluctant to give him the filming company, but that he was afraid that Hong Dali might suffer during the advancement assessment as a result.
“Don’t worry, it doesn’t matter.” Hong Dali grinned and didn’t show any concern. “I am just playing with it for fun. I am a prodigal, after all. I am not relying on this to earn money.”
“Then… Alright.” Since Hong Dali already said so, Yin Tianzong couldn’t reject him. He thought for a while, then nodded and said, “Then, I shall give you the filming company under my name. You can do whatever you want with it. Hehe, we are brothers in this lifetime. Worst come to worst, I can help you influence the advancement assessment. Hehe.”
Since he had agreed, Yin Tianzong instantly instructed his subordinate. “You, come here. Brother Dali said that he wants my filming company, so transfer it to his name later. Together with the company building too, understand?”
“Yes, I understand!”
After instructing his subordinate, Yin Tianzong laughed and asked Hong Dali, “Brother Dali, how is it, are you satisfied with this?”
“Yes, I am quite satisfied!” Hong Dali beamed with delight and said, “I knew that Brother Tianzong is the best, hehe!”
“Haha, Brother Dali is much better, you even gave me the Heavenly Frost Sword!” Yin Tianzong looked at the broadsword in his hand and drooled. “I shall go and play with it for a while. Brother Dali, you can go do your stuff first. I reckon that you will be busy for a few days after the filming company is transferred to you.”
“Yup, sure. I shall be going back first then, hehe.”
