Rebirth Of The Godly Prodigal 723 The Level Was Still Too Low

After listening to Hong Dali, Li Nianwei was speechless.

This… was totally Young Master's style. Sure enough, no matter where he went, Young Master was a nouveau riche!

"Brat, you finally got it sorted out." Just then, Tang Long's projection appeared on the sofa. He smiled and said, "The universe is too big, too vast. There are Galaxy Aristocrats, Zerg, and all kinds of other challenges in it. This galaxy may look safe, but danger lurks everywhere. What you just thought of is actually quite a good idea.

"With your physique and age, you have already pa.s.sed the best time to practice martial arts. The others are the same. Except for Levis, who might still have a chance.

"But you're rich. Master left you a fortune. You will have access to all of it in the future. Since you're rich, you don't have to hesitate. You can overwhelm them with your equipment. Others add an additional hundred points of attributes to their gear, you add three hundred. When the fighting starts, they will die with one slap from you, won't they?"

He was not wrong.

In this universe, for some reason, a person could only embed a maximum of twenty gems into a full suit gear.

Any difference would then be glaringly obvious.

For all your gear equipped, if you have a total of twenty gems that add eight points each, that would be a total of one hundred and sixty points. If I use gems that add fifteen points each, that would mean three hundred points in total. That's an instant one hundred and forty more attribute points than you! If we also use higher quality materials for the armor and other equipment, the difference will be significant.

What about basic attributes? Martial arts manuals? With Mo Tianji's Demon Fantasy Record, just learning some of it will work. How about I buy herbs that increase physical qualities? Or perhaps I could just let Zhang Yi transform some of my genes?

"Hehe, you're right, that's what I mean." Hong Dali grinned and nodded. "Uncle Tang Long, what kind of items can enhance one's attributes? Tell me about them?"

"Okay, since you're interested, I will tell you about them." Making yourself and the people around you stronger was a serious matter, so Tang Long became serious as well. "In this universe, there are four methods to become stronger. The first one is using technology. This is the most practical, but it also has the most shortcomings. Ordinary technology will be more than sufficient to deal with anything that is Third Order Planet and below. It might be a little hard to deal with Fourth Order Planet opponents, and it's almost useless against Fifth Order Planet opponents—you won't even be able to aim for the opponent's shadow, there will be no way to attack at all.

"The second way is through improving your attributes and martial arts. Strength, Agility, and Reflexes. There should be no need to elaborate more on Strength and Agility. As the level of your opponents increases, their movements become faster. If your response is not fast enough, you won't even be able to see your opponent's moves. Each of these three attributes is very important. There are two ways to improve these attributes: one is to embed attribute gems, the other is to use herbs that increase your attributes. Whether you manage to buy the herbs or not depends on your luck. Learning martial arts can help these attributes increase by a lot. Of course, your body is not able to practice martial arts. If you are unable to master the skill, there is not much point in learning it.

"The third way is by having a pet. If you have a very powerful battle pet, it can greatly increase your abilities. The animals in the universe are very amazing. I know that there are at least two kinds of pets that can improve combat effectiveness. One is single combat pets. This type of pet is more common. The Golden-armored Green-eyed Tigers you met previously belong to this category. The other is auxiliary reinforcement pets. This type of pet can fuse with the owner, much like your Mechanical Holy Garment. After fusing, it will increase three main attributes and some of them even add special abilities.

"The fourth is by increasing your ability. In this universe, there is a magical stone called Soul Stone. This stone will fuse with the blood and allows the person with whom it fuses to gain all kinds of special abilities. However, this Soul Stone is very rare and only the most talented guards from the Galaxy Aristocrat Guards are eligible to use them. Each of the lieutenants who fuse with the Soul Stone is very powerful. Their ability is at the Stellar Level! That's the level Master Invincible East was when he encountered the Zerg in s.p.a.ce at the end."

Stellar level!

There was a level above Planet level, that was the Stellar level!

After listening to all these, Hong Dali breathed a long sigh of relief. It seemed that his decision was correct.

This time, he had managed to gain the final victory thanks to Granzon. What if higher-level officers from the Galaxy Aristocrat guards had come? Even if he did not die, how many of the others would survive?

"So powerful!" Hong Dali touched his chin. "It seems there're a lot of things I can spend money on in the future…"

"That's obvious." Tang Long muttered, "What did you think? The universe is not like Earth. Unless you are content to be an ordinary person, meaning you bow and hold your breath when you see a Galaxy Aristocrat, go to work on time every day and draw a salary of a thousand eight hundred. Unfortunately, with your current position, that is no longer possible. Luckily you came to your senses early. I was waiting for you to meet a big setback to tell you about this."

"Hehe. I'm not stupid." Hong Dali chuckled and ruffled his hair. "If I can't even understand the situation, that's not called thoughtlessness, it's foolishness!"

"You performed well this time." Tang Long finally said, "Get yourself ready. If there is time tomorrow, I'll bring you to Star Harbor to buy some equipment. There's quite a lot of good stuff there."

"Yes, yes, okay!"

…

Soon, Li Nianwei went to bed too.

Hong Dali rubbed his chin as he sat in his room by himself. He thought about it for a while, then suddenly grinned and retrieved the Bright Silver Armor from where he stored it previously in the s.p.a.ce watch!

Initially, when he kept it, he had planned to complete the System's mission first before playing with it. Now it seemed like he had made the right decision in keeping it!

"Brat, what are you doing with that?" Tang Long again appeared silently from the s.p.a.ce watch. "Are you planning to wear it? This thing is actually not bad. The attribute gem on it is also quite a high level."

"I'm not wearing it, of course." Hong Dali smiled and said, "I don't like such gear. It's quite heavy."

"d.a.m.n!" Hearing that, Tang Long was temporarily dumbstruck. "You're trying to pile on attributes and you find that too heavy?"

"Of course," Hong Dali answered matter-of-factly. "I prefer something more comfortable. It's a little hard to move in this. It's too hard." He was already wearing a Mechanical Holy Garment that Chuyin made especially for him. If he had to wear this as well…

"Fine." Tang Long knew more or less the events that happened on Earth previously from listening to various people's conversations. He said disdainfully, "What do you intend to do with it? You have always proclaimed to be a prodigal. There will be many people who would be happy to see you disgrace yourself."

"It's not possible that I will disgrace myself." Hong Dali grinned. "I need to modify this a little."

"Modify? How?" Tang Long asked curiously. "Are you going to sell this armor after you work on it? It will fetch eight thousand Galaxy Dollars at most. The prices of these things are fixed, there's not much profit to be made." Here, Tang Long started lecturing Hong Dali again. "Speaking of which, do you understand the importance of money now? It's hard to earn, right? You need money to increase your attributes, right? You need money to buy pets, right? You need money to embed gems, right? The Noah Metal that I asked you to buy when we were in the Virtual World could fetch seven or eight thousand Galaxy Dollars if it was used to make armor. That was money waiting to be earned and you didn't want it. Instead, you are here fiddling with other things… eh, what are you doing?!"

Tang Long had planned to properly educate Hong Dali so that he could hand over Master Invincible East's fortune to him without any worry.

He realized that Hong Dali was not listening to him at all. He was prying an attribute stone that added seven points to strength out from the Bright Silver Armour.

Tang Long was alarmed. "Brat, what are you doing? The only thing valuable in this armor is that gem… Eh? Eh?! Wait! Put that gem down! Put it down quickly!"

"Ah?" Hong Dali turned his head to look at the holographic projection of Tang Long. "What happened? Why do I have to put the stone down?"

"Another energy gem that increases energy by fifty percent?" Tang Long looked at the gem in Hong Dali's hand and took in a sharp breath. "What the f**k? Do you think this is cabbage from the roadside?! You embedded such a high-quality gem in such an inferior armor? Where do you get all these gems from, anyway? You already gave away three of them!"

"I brought it from Earth." Hong Dali chuckled. "I cut it from the big boulder inside the s.p.a.ce watch. You should have seen it."

"That black boulder in the s.p.a.ce watch?" Tang Long was shocked. He quickly went back into the s.p.a.ce watch to check. Upon confirming it, he went crazy. "G.o.d! Such a big energy gem! This… how is this possible?! How much is it worth!"

Honestly speaking, Tang Long did not pay much attention to this stone when Hong Dali put it into the s.p.a.ce watch. In his mind, he thought that it was not possible there would be such a big attribute gem on Earth. In the universe, attribute gems were rare and most of the one embedded in gears were alien cores. He thought that Hong Dali brought it along because he liked how it looked. Now he knew—the number of resources Hong Dali had on him was anything but ordinary! This was such a huge piece of attribute gem. Furthermore, it increased energy…

"There isn't as much as you think." Hong Dali did not really think much of it. "Right now, the attributes of this thing are just ordinary. I think it's just enough to use for a while."

"Such a big piece of energy gem!" Tang Long raged. "Use it for a while?! You refused to sell it. What are you keeping it for?! It increases energy by fifty percent! Just a small piece of it will fetch five to six hundred thousand! With that money, you can buy a lot of good stuff!"

"Of course I'm not selling. You wouldn't understand." Hong Dali continued cutting the stone when he finished talking.

"I'm so angry I could die." Tang Long sulked for a while. "Forget it. I'm going back to rest. You refuse to sell such a good piece of energy gem, you're really…"

That went without saying. That was a top-grade gem that added ten to energy! If he enhanced it, it could go up to energy +25!

However, ever since he arrived in the galaxy, the attributes had been greatly reduced. It seemed like the level of the item was too low. He had to procure some higher-level materials in the future. His gem processing, embedding, and magic enhancement skill had also been nerfed. The items he enhanced only added two points to energy now. He had to increase his skill level.
