Rebirth Of The Godly Prodigal Chapter 487

Chapter 487: Terrible Table Manners!Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Tianjing Children's Channel and Heavenly State's online gaming website were both absolute amateur military channels. There was no link between them and the military. But the interview with Hong Dali about his Mechanical Man was to be aired at these two channels. That caused a very strange phenomenon—the adults who knew of this news stayed in front of the TV. The children didn't know anything; hence, they watched cartoons on the Children's Channel as usual. Groups of geeks who gamed all day also gathered at the Heavenly State online gaming website.

Everyone in Heavenly State, from young to old, white-collar workers to gaming geeks, all knew about Hong Dali's Mechanical Man. The scale of the audience group was to a point of luxurious. This was probably a program that was most sought- after.

This was definitely something unforeseen.

At 7 PM in the evening, the viewers.h.i.+p ratings for Tianjing Children's Channel hit 7.8%. The unique IP address at Heavenly State online gaming website was at 4.95 million and crazily rising.

Two new patients were admitted at the Tianjing City Center Hospital. They were the Station Director of Tianjing Children's Channel and Director of Heavenly State online gaming website.

These were just minor incidents. Soon, it was 8 PM. The interview on Hong Dali's Mechanical Man began.

The first fifteen seconds was an opening animation that was put together at the last minute. The animation was extremely rough—it was obvious it was a slipshod job. After the animation, four big words appeared: Young Master's Mechanical Man!

For a program with such a high viewers.h.i.+p rating to have such a slipshod t.i.tle opening animation could not be justified. But people got over it quickly because, compared to the actual program, this animation was not bad…

People had expected the program to be simple and straightforward, with the interview taking place at a public place. Of course, people did not watch the program for the background. The problem was, it was an interview with the most famous person in Heavenly State, and Hong Dali, was who being interviewed, had his face mosaiced!

That created a rather comical scene.

On the left side of the screen was a mosaic that kept changing. On the right side of the screen, the top was empty and the bottom wrote Young Master's Mechanical Man. In the middle was a black stick. The focus was on the black stick which was almost stabbing into the mosaic…

A female viewer who was not aware of the situation subconsciously asked, “TV stations nowadays have nerves.” A kid beside her asked, “Mama, what are they doing?” The female viewer hurriedly covered the kid's eyes—this can't be seen. It will give them sore eyes! She replied, “They are eating ice cream, and they have terrible table manners!”

That's what she said, but curiosity urged her to continue watching—TV stations were so bold as to show people eating ice cream on screen. There must be a reason to it.

On the screen.

The voice of the Tianjing Children's Channel's reporter sounded. “h.e.l.lo, Young Master Dali. I'm a reporter from the Tianjing Children's Channel. My name is Tong Xueping. I'm glad to have to chance to interview you today.”

“Ah, it's my pleasure too.” Hong Dali lazily said, “En. Ask me your questions. Don't stand on ceremony.” He then turned to the side and said, “Sister Nianwei, can you get me an ice cream? The weather is too hot…”

The female viewer stared in bewilderment. Young Master Dali? Sister Nianwei? Were they the very popular Hong Dali and Li Nianwei? Eating ice cream? Eating ice cream while doing an interview?!

Since there were TVs, Hong Dali was probably the only person who could eat ice cream while doing an interview!

On TV, the ice cream was quickly sent to him. Hong Dali licked it…

All the while asking, “Ah, Reporter Tong, ask away. Me eating ice cream will not affect the interview!”

Sweat trickled down Tong Xueping's head. She asked carefully, “It's like this, there has been various news about you. I'm sure everyone has heard them. But recent news reported that you got a Mechanical Holy Garment and that it's rather powerful. I'm sure everyone is curious, too. Hence, I wanted to find out more about the Mechanical Holy Garment from Young Master Dali.”

“Ah, that. Sure!” Hong Dali licked his ice cream again. “What do you want to know?”

Tong Xueping: “About this Mechanical Holy Garment, or Mechanical Man, how did you first come up with this idea?”

Hong Dali: “It's nothing. I just wanted to squander. I was planning to invest fifty million to make a movie named ‘Holy Warriors of the G.o.ddess.'”

The female viewer got interested. “Investing fifty million to make a movie? I have been out of touch with the entertainment news for too long. I don't even know if this ‘Holy Warriors of the G.o.ddess' is good. Hmm, I shall go watch it when it screens.”

“Investing fifty million to make a movie!” Tong Xueping was stunned. “I've heard about it. In fact, I'm rather antic.i.p.ating it! But Young Master Dali, what has this movie got to do with Mechanical Man?”

Another lady's voice sounded. “Young Master's Mechanical Holy Garment was a prop for ‘Holy Warriors of the G.o.ddess.' But this is not just a prop.”

Hong Dali laughed. “Yes, that's right. Sister Anqi knows me, indeed!”

“Such a powerful Mechanical Holy Garment was made because of the movie?” Tong Xueping exclaimed. “Fifty million to make a movie, but Young Master's Mechanical Holy Garment must cost more than that?”

“That's right.” Hong Dali nodded. “My intention was to invest fifty million, but this scale of squandering was not sufficient. Hence, I increased the amount to about 300 million. That's how we came to develop the Mechanical Holy Garment…”

Fifty million was not enough. Hence, he increased the investment to 300 million…

Do you think it's 30,000?! Increasing by so much at once?!

“At the moment, Holy Warriors of the G.o.ddess' Mechanical Holy Garment will be something like this.” Hong Dali chuckled. “I'm very satisfied with this.”

c.r.a.p, anyone would be satisfied!

No matter what, the viewers in front of the computer screen and the TV were dumbfounded! “Holy Warriors of the G.o.ddess'” base capital was fifty million. Not only was it insufficient, but the props were also all changed to the Mechanical Holy Garment?!

Did that mean that all the characters were Mechanical Men? Battle of the Mechanical Men?!

“In that case, Young Master, how secretive is this Mechanical Holy Garment, can I take a look?!” Tong Xueping promptly asked, “You know, our views are very concerned about the functionality of the Mechanical Holy Garment.”

“Sure.” Hong Dali agreed without a second thought. “Li Yang, demonstrate to Reporter Tong!”

“Okay!” Li Yang replied quickly.

Soon, the screen changed to a corner of the laboratory. Male Lackey Li Yang held on to the Mechanical Holy Garment which was folded into a box and said, “Watch!” He placed the box on the floor and stepped on the switch.

A “wiring” mechanical sound sounded and the box opened up by itself. Li Yang's right foot was wrapped by the armor of the Mechanical Holy Garment. The box opened up wide and Li Yang put his hand into the intended part.

The armor was separated into two parts—one being the pair of legs and the other being the upper body portion. Li Yang held on to the upper body portion and put it on his chest. At that moment, countless steel plates emerged from the Mechanical Holy Garment and wrapped around his entire body within seconds. Together with the helmet, the transformation was completed!

Li Yang's body was covered with a silvery-white armor. Even his eyes were covered. It looked really cool. The scene blinded everyone in front of the TV and computer screen and their 24K gold-plated eyes.

“This… this is the Mechanical Man?” Tong Xueping was astonished!

The folded up Mechanical Holy Garment was slick and small, making it easy to carry around. To think it was so easy to put on. Everything was automatic!

“Ah, let's not try the weapon first. Just watch the video that was taken at New Lanxiang earlier.” Hong Dali said, “It will be troublesome if we blew this place up…”

Tong Xueping gulped. She would never dare to ask Hong Dali to try the weapon system—she had heard about the power of the Mechanical Man's weapon. She couldn't afford it if this place were to blow up…

At that moment, Tang Anqi walked over and smiled. “Young Master still has a lot of these armors. I won't show them all one by one, then. I will post the figures for the Mechanical Man on the website shortly, as per Young Master's instructions. We welcome everyone's interviews, then.”

“Ah, yes. I almost forgot one thing.” How could he miss out on such an opportunity to promote? Hong Dali added. “I will like to add on. We welcome all kids to come and play at the garden I opened near the outer area of Tianjing Mountain. Entry to the garden is free! Oh, and New Lanxiang Vocational School is recruiting teachers!”

And the interview came to an end.

In short, the interview questions focused on the reason behind the production of the Mechanical Man as well as its cost. As for other information—the specific attributes and information would be published later on the website…

With the interview's unprecedented commotion, together with the video on the weapon. For Hong Dali, as well as the Mechanical Man, the storm had just begun.
