Chapter 506: I Want to Build a Fish Pond!Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

To be honest, ever since this Grandpa Mysterious took his position, no one had ever dared to speak to him like that.

To think he, the top man in the Heavenly State, had actually taken the initiative to ask the other party what their terms were. No one would believe it.

An Yangxu mumbled, “How dare he talk terms with you, Big Boss. This brat, how I wish I could kill him with one slap!”

“Ah… actually, I don't have… don't have any conditions.” Grandpa Mysterious was now asking him what he wanted. Hong Dali might have been drunk, but he understood what was going on. He was unsteady but still expressed his desire to be a good boy. “Let me think… yes… Grandpa Mysterious, I want to build a fish pond for my Xinxin…”

“Fish pond?” The mysterious man and An Yangxu looked at each other. What kind of fish pond did this brat want to build? Did he intend to rear fishes? The mysterious man asked, “That's easy. Which fish pond do you have your sights on? Just let me know.”

What Hong Dali said after had both men at the end of their tethers. “Right, that, Grandpa Mysterious, I like the east of Heavenly State… the east ocean. I… I… I want that… I will build an East Ocean Dragon Palace there in the future.”

This nutcase wanted to take the entire east ocean. Is he crazy?!

“Brat!” The mysterious man had a sudden urge to kill Hong Dali. “Do you believe that I will have someone lock you up now? Do you call the east ocean a fish pond in your home?”

“It's pa.s.sable… I really want to build an East Ocean Dragon Palace.” Hong Dali had no sense of having asked for too much. He chuckled and said, “Grandpa Mysterious… please accede to my request. I rarely ask for anything…”

He did not forget to glance back at Tang Muxin and grin foolishly. “Xinxin… that… I want the world to know, this pond belongs to you!” Then he added. “Oh yes, I just thought of it… Give me a panda as well. Xinxin likes them…”

Tang Muxin almost had her head under the table—who was this person? I don't know him!

“Right…” The mysterious man did not get angry. Instead, he thought about it and shot a glance at An Yangxu and the Bureau Chief. He then said to Hong Dali, “Eat something first, I will see what can be done.”

“Oh… okay…” Hong Dali sniffled and his eyelids almost closed. “I will sleep for a while, then… Hu hu…” He actually fell asleep an instant after talking!

The mysterious man and the other two men rose and went into a room that had pretty good soundproofing. The mysterious man said in a low voice, “The little brat wants to develop the east ocean. What do you think? He might look drunk, but I'm sure he knows very well what he's doing.”

“I feel the matter is open for discussion.” The Bureau Chief rubbed his chin as he gave it a thought. He slowly said, “Big Boss, think about it. Who is Hong Dali? He's a super prodigal. Do you think he can rear fishes? Will he tell people that ‘East Ocean belongs to me! You may not fish here'? Obviously not. I guess that the kid is just being playful. The thing is, the day after tomorrow is the Qixi Festival, which is our Heavenly State's Valentine's Day. It's very likely he just wanted to give his fiancée, Tang Muxin, a present. The brat may look heartless, but he's actually very thoughtful. No matter what, I know that if we satisfy him this time, we will definitely not lose out. Also—” The Bureau Chief laughed and said, “Isn't that thing on the East Ocean?” He winked at the mysterious man as he spoke—you know.

“That's possible.” The mysterious man frowned. To be honest, he could barely react to Hong Dali's sudden request to develop the east ocean. It was unheard of to give such a big area of ocean to one person. In nice terms, it was just harmless fun, but in other terms, it was like giving a man land and making him king. The implications were completely different.

However, what the Bureau Chief said made sense. The little brat looked silly but was actually quite intelligent. Everything he said and did seem to carry some hidden meaning. This time, was it possible he had some other plan in mind?

“Big Boss, I don't care.” An Yangxu was a straightforward man and said whatever he thought. “I know the brat Hong Dali has good luck, and I can't be bothered with whatever he wants to dabble in. You have to think of some way to get me the Mechanical Holy Garment. Also, squeeze as much benefit as you can from him. The National Day Parade is less than two months away. Boss, you want our Heavenly State to look good in front of the world too, right? As for the terms, our military will not interfere with that. Whatever you say goes. Hehe.”

He had it good. All he cared about were the benefits and nothing else. The ball was back in the other court.

Actually, when all had been said, the Bureau Chief supported Hong Dali openly. An Yangxu might not have said it outright, but he secretly did not oppose to him. The mysterious man did actually have the intention to accede to Hong Dali's request.

It was obvious to all that the prodigal Hong Dali's character made people feel at ease.

He might be a prodigal, and full of mischief, but he had invincible luck. Most importantly, he had no ambition. All he thought about was to have fun and nothing else. He just did whatever felt good and was never on the offensive. This was what these few men were most pleased with.

If it were someone else, who knew what kind of trouble they would stir up. Hong Dali was different. With his underachieving nature, even if he were given the entire east ocean, it would just be a place for him to park the aircraft carrier.

The most important thing was, he might discover something good when he went to the east ocean! The cave under the outer area of Tianjing Mountain—sixty over tons of Adamantium. That huge patch of petrified wood and those amazing Dali beans. None of the land belonging to this prodigal was barren. They hadn't even started exploring the mountain under Water Spirit Village. There was probably something good there, too!

“Okay, since both of you put it like that, I understand somewhat.” The mysterious man stood up and smiled. “All right, let's see what kind of surprise this little brat Hong Dali has in store for us. It won't do if there's none, hehe!”

“Haha, it definitely will not be bad.” The Bureau Chief had confidence in Hong Dali. No one, except perhaps Hong Dali himself, knew how much treasure he had.

When they left the room, the mysterious man returned to his seat. He gracefully took a bite of the pastry and, without looking at Hong Dali, asked, “Dali, the panda is not a problem. As for the east ocean… your request is a little too much, but I could agree to it. That would depend on what you can offer in exchange. I'm not asking too much, am I?”

“Ah, too much…?” Hong Dali raised his head groggily. “There's nothing better. This, this is a fair deal…”

“Hehe, pray tell then, what do you intend to give in exchange?” The mysterious man asked, chuckling.

“Oh… I have already given the five Mechanical Holy Garments away. I can't give them to you…” Hong Dali was starting to sober up a little. He motioned with his thumb. “I want to go out to sea on the aircraft carriers, so you can't have that, either… You already have the virtual reality internet technology… I could lend you Big Turtle. Sci-Fi Town is not movable, and you already have my toy airplanes…”

By then, An Yangxu was almost ready to strangle him. He would not give nor lend anything. Was he pulling a fast one?!

“Brat! This will not do, that will not do! Where is your sincerity?” An Yangxu was so mad his neck had turned red. He shouted, “Do you believe that I will give you a stretcher and have you carried back?!”

“Hehe… Hehe… Don't get anxious.” Hong Dali was totally unaffected. He laughed. “I'm not done talking. Actually, you can just make a thousand or eight hundred sets of something that looks like the Mechanical Holy Garments. So long as they are armed, even if the weapons are not so powerful, it should be okay. In fact, I just remembered, I still have some good stuff I have not mentioned…”

Good stuff! He actually still had good stuff!

The mysterious man and the other two exchanged glances. That look… and then the mysterious man pretended to disinterestedly eat his pastry. “You still have good stuff? Tell us about it, let's see what it is. I guess with your standards, you will not show us anything shabby.”

“It's still okay… not bad.” Hong Dali said unsteadily. “My Granzon… I'll lend it to you. You can bring it back to your laboratory. I will be going out to sea soon, anyway. I won't be needing it. When you are done researching it, please return it to me. The car still has its uses… I could give it to someone…”

Granzon? What was so interesting about a car? Although its top speed was 310mph, that had nothing to do with military affairs. The mysterious man asked curiously, “The car… you mean to have us research its speed?”

An Yangxu stared with eyes wide open. People would be scared to death if a row of army vehicles entered at a speed of 310mph and disappeared in the blink of an eye during the parade.

“Of course not…” Hong Dali shook his head. “The defense system in my car is very powerful. I accidentally came up with it. Yes, yes, I am done eating, shall we go have a look?”

“Go, go. Let's go now!” An Yangxu, the big boss in the military, was the first to get up impatiently when he heard that there was a powerful defense system. He pulled Hong Dali up and started heading out. “Quick, quick. Let's go take a look! You brat! Hiding such good stuff from me. I should punish you using military law! Is that your Granzon or whatever outside the door? Tow it away, tow it all away! We'll see exactly how powerful your defense system is! I'll make it clear first, if it gets damaged, the military is not going to pay for it!”

“I'm not from the military…” Hong Dali cried. “Grandpa Mysterious, Uncle Chief, murder! Help!!!”
