Once Ling Xiaoyi said this, Zhou Guangyao instantly became anxious. Back then, when business was good, people would fight for this factory even if it was sold for 200 million. But now, the company's technology was lagging behind and many of the manufactured products were still in the storeroom, resulting in more and more drastic losses. But it could only be sold for 38 million…

It just had to be that the factory must be sold. After all, the employees had to be given their salaries, right? 1,000 for one month per person, if there were 1,000 people, it would cost over a million for one month, and this was exclusive of other costs. This meant that if he didn't hurry up and sell them all out, eventually, all the money he'd earned previously would be lost.

It wasn't easy for a Hong Dali with intentions of buying over the company to appear. If he didn't sell it, then n.o.body else would. By then, the factory would be abandoned and the employees would be laid off, then it wouldn't even be able to be sold for a price of 38 million!

Upon thinking up to this point, Zhou Guangyao hurriedly nodded. "38 million is 38 million then. Young Master Dali, what do you think…"

"Mm, not bad, not bad. I like such a straightforward person like CEO Zhou!" Hong Dali beamed with delight upon hearing that. "In that case, I'll round it up for you. 40 million, and such a good thing to squander on would belong to me. What do you think?"

Alright, the company which I was previously so proud of is now called as a good thing to squander on. But for the sake of it being sold, I'll bear with it!

Zhou Guangyao hurriedly took out the doc.u.ment. "Young Master really lives up to your name as being charitable. It's a deal! As long as this contract is signed, the entire company, including its employees and the products that have been stored away will all belong to Young Master. I'll just take the money and leave without any property. Young Master, you can squander however you like!"

"Aiyo, I love hearing these words the most!" Hong Dali smiled so widely that his mouth couldn't close up. "Sister Xiaoyi, help me settle this. I'll only stamp my seal!"

Look at how I behave as a prodigal, how simple, only engraving my steal would do!

Very soon, the contract was done. Hong Dali took out his personal seal and stamped it at once. Squandering for the sake of the rise of Heavenly State, Hong Dali Seal!

After everything was done, 40 million had been spent just like that. Hong Dali pulled out the System menu in his head and, once he looked at it, was instantly delighted. On the System menu, it impressively wrote the current number of attribute points: 40.

This is right, haha. Previously I hadn't really paid attention to how much money I squandered away. Thus, the number of attribute points increased slowly. This is good. Now, I've reached 40 points at once, so I can exchange for many good things, humph humph humph!

At the same time, a mechanic voice sounded as well—

"At the moment, Host reached 40 attribute points. Please choose item for redemption."

Upon hearing the voice of the System in his head, Hong Dali said without hesitation, "This time, I choose the survival side branch!"

System: "The survival side branch mainly provides a stronger survival ability for the Host. Please confirm."

Hong Dali: "Confirmed."

After he said this, very soon, the System answered, "Host has chosen survival side branch. Please wait."

Approximately one minute later, a soft sound sounded his Hong Dali's mind. The exchange for the survival option has been completed. Upon seeing this, Hong Dali was instantly delighted.

[Survival side branch—

Project one: Halo system. As a prodigal, you naturally don't need to do things personally, so it's especially important to strengthen the abilities of your followers. (The halo effect can be attained by followers that reach a loyalty of 100% towards Host.)

Halo, increases attributes by 40%, within an area of 1,000 meters. After which, with every additional attribute point, the attribute would be increased by 5%, and the effective area would double.

Project two: Strengthening the body. Explanation: As a superprodigal, there might be various dangerous encounters. Thus, it strengthens the host's body to avoid the host being hurt by anything.

Reformation of muscles: The muscles in the host's body would automatically change their state upon encountering danger, being able to become both hard or soft. (Pa.s.sive skill, unable to be controlled by Host, has an endurance limit.)]

This survival side branch made Hong Dali stare in bewilderment. What the heck, this is really awesome, isn't it!

The halo skill would, needless to say, allow the abilities of the lackeys to increase. In this case, if he encountered any problems in the future, it would naturally be easy to solve them. Meanwhile, his own special skill was a pa.s.sive skill that would be automatically activated once he encountered danger. To put it simply, it meant that it would become hard when it needed to, and soft when it needed to…

Mm, thinking about it, now that he was battling against Ko Gohon from Jaban State, in the future, it was possible that if Ko Gohon lost, he would be enraged and hire an a.s.sa.s.sin to a.s.sa.s.sinate him. In that case, this skill would be very important.

30 attribute points…

That's it!

Hong Dali instantly decided. "Exchange for muscle reformation!"

Unknowingly, a dim yellow light lit up, and Hong Dali felt that… Alright, this time he didn't feel anything. After all, it was a pa.s.sive skill. Unless he encountered danger, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to feel it.

Nevertheless, at least he was now much safer, heh heh.

He'd spent 30 attribute points to exchange for a special skill, and he had 10 attribute points left. This time, Hong Dali looked at what he could exchange for with the System, and decisively chose the gem processing, embedding, and magic enhancement. After using up these 10 attribute points, he could then add three extra attribute points on those gems he had broken down, humph humph!

After turning the System off in satisfaction, Hong Dali chicly waved his hand. "Lackeys, let's go. Next squandering project, Tianjing Mountain Park! Speaking of which, I haven't gone there in a long time, haha!"

Everyone instantly agreed.

Upon reaching the fourth floor, they grabbed Tang Muxin along. Alas, just when they reached downstairs, an enigmatic voice sounded. "Hey, isn't that Hong Dali. Where are you planning to go? It feels quite good sitting in those few cars of mine, right? Is it better than your Heavenly State cars?" His voice was chilly and sarcastic. It was exactly the person who wanted to fight for the Young Master t.i.tle with Hong Dali, the scion of Jaban State's Toyoda Conglomerate, Ko Gohon!

"Oh, it's just so-so. Nothing special. It's still rather lacking compared to my few cars." Hong Dali was not at all surprised at Ko Gohon's arrival, and was disinterested as he said, "You've come so eagerly today again, you have something to say to me again?"

"Nothing much, I'm just here to remind you that there are only five days left from our bet." Ko Gohon sn.i.g.g.e.red and said, "I hope that you won't lose too pathetically by then."

"You don't have to diligently run over here just because of this, right?" Hong Dali felt strange and asked, "By right, you shouldn't be this idle. What exactly is the matter, can you say it all at once?"

"Alright, since you've put things this way, then I can only tell you." Ko Gohon stared at Hong Dali and said word by word, "I heard that you went to Water Spirit Village and beat up Young Master Qian Youjin's men, and then bought that piece of land?"

"What the heck, you even know about this?" Hong Dali exclaimed, "Yes, what about it?"

"Hehe, you little prodigal have really created big trouble for yourself." Ko Gohon laughed heartily. "Young Master Qian Youjin is very angry because of this matter. Because you're akin to have openly humiliated him by hitting his men. So he said that when the time for the once in three years meeting of the Resource Chamber of Commerce in Heavenly State arrives, he'll teach you a lesson. I've come here today to tell you that this time, you've created quite a big mess for yourself, hahahaha!"

"Oh, creating trouble." Hong Dali was not the least concerned. "It's not my first time creating trouble, it's nothing."

After saying this, Hong Dali curiously asked, "About this so-called Resource Chamber of Commerce meeting once every three years, what's this about?"

"It's very simple." Ko Gohon was now looking at Hong Dali as if he were looking at a piece of wood. "The big corporations in your Heavenly State hold a Resource Chamber of Commerce meeting once every three years. From the name itself, it always shows that these big corporations would separate their scope of influence according to the increase in their resources within these three years, and at the same time, confirm the final ranking of the families' abilities. To put it simply, it's more or less like the selection of the top 500 corporations in the world."

Speaking of which, Ko Gohon was indeed the Big Young Master of Toyoda Conglomerate. He knew quite a lot about these matters. "Such things are naturally also carried out in our Jaban empire. Our Toyoda Conglomerate comes in first place every time. And this time, the Young Master Qian Youjin that you've offended is the successor of the petrochemical corporation in Heavenly State, and his family is ranked second in Heavenly State, not lacking the least compared to your Hong Family. Moreover, they have our Toyoda Conglomerate backing them up. Heh heh, Hong Dali, by then, there will be a good show to watch."

After Ko Gohon gloated over his misfortune, he threw a look at Hong Dali as if saying "you know it," and what he meant was very obvious—This time, you've offended a fellow with a very strong background. You can wait to suffer!

"Oh, is that so," Hong Dali only answered briefly, then he asked very effortlessly, "Then what does it have to do with me?"

"Of course, it has something to do with you." Ko Gohon roared with laughter. "You might not know what kind of place that Resource Chamber of Commerce is exactly. That's not a place where your Hong Family is the only dominating force. By then, your Hong Family will definitely be cornered and attacked in all ways, and you'll definitely suffer! To speak the truth, once I heard this news, our bet seems boring. Of course, this time, I'll definitely win!"

"I'm not interested." Hong Dali sniffled. "Anyway, I won't partic.i.p.ate in this. They can just judge and rank among themselves. What kind of big matter is this, you're really too idle." As he spoke, he made to leave. "If there's nothing else, make way and don't delay me from going out."

"You!" Ko Gohon came this time exactly to make Hong Dali anxious. However, he realized that Hong Dali totally didn't even take this matter to heart. Thus, Ko Gohon felt a little defeated. Fortunately, he still remembered one last thing. "I'll see how carefree you can be. I'll ask you one last thing. I heard that you're acquiring companies? The ones suffering losses?"

"Yes, you have some with you?" Hong Dali curiously asked, "You're so caring?"

"Ahahahahaha! You're really buying them over!" Ko Gohon roared with laughter and gestured to his bodyguard. That bodyguard instantly took out two doc.u.ments. Ko Gohon received them and pa.s.sed them to Hong Dali. "Have a look."

Their content was very simple. The company name, the area it occupied, and the number of employees.

Hong Dali slowly started reading. "Mm, one Nuoya phone company, occupies 200,000 square meters, at the outskirts of Beijin city, 1,600 employees. One Flying Bull basketball team, a total of 240 people including the coaches, team members, and medical team personnel. Everyone: Qian Youjin."
