The video conference at Ling Xiaoyi’s side had already ended, yet Hong Dali’s side was still completely unaware of it. While he was asleep, he’d gained yet another piece of super huge land which cost two billion yuan…

“Ah, I’ve had such a good sleep!” He’d slept for a full two hours and more before he finally crawled up from Li Nianwei’s lap. He groggily rubbed his eyes which could still not fully open and, before he even wiped off his saliva, asked, “Sister Nianwei, what time is it now?”

“Young Master, it’s already 2:00 PM. I didn’t wake you up seeing that you were fast asleep.” Li Nianwei forever had that gentle expression on her face. Her gaze towards Hong Dali was like a big sister staring at her most beloved younger brother.

“It’s 2:00 PM already, where are Xinxin and Xiaoyi?” Hong Dali shook his head and restored his energy. Afterward, he said, “Let’s go out and play for a while. I’ve been feeling a little bored from idling around recently. En, let’s go and take a look downstairs first.”

“OK, I’ll ask them to come over right away.” Li Nianwei smacked her thighs and stood up. Though she’d maintained her sitting posture to let Hong Dali lie down for over two hours, Li Nianwei was already used to it. Moreover, she’d previously been using her phone to read novels. Thus, her thighs didn’t have that numb and pricking sensation from being lied upon for a long period of time.

Very soon, Tang Muxin, Li Nianwei, Ling Xiaoyi, and the rest of the lackeys were in position. The Samoyed Xiao Xiao and Quentin were brought over as well. Hong Dali stretched his arms and, soon after, he snapped his fingers and laughed heartily. “Haha, let’s go! Let’s tour around the area and draw circles at where we think is good!”

Hearing that, Tang Muxin knew that someone would be hit on the head by money falling from the sky today again.

As expected, Hong Dali led the rest downstairs, from the ninth floor to the eighth floor first, directly reaching Zhong Dian’s headquarters.

Once he entered, an employee immediately spotted their big group and stood up. “Greetings Young Master! You’ve worked hard, Young Master!”

With the arrival of the God of Fortune, he definitely needed to get his flattering going.

“En, your eyesight is not too bad. Reward!” Hong Dali said in a super cool manner, as he waved arrogantly. “One thousand. For each person!”

Thus, the three male lackeys rushed forward, while the female lackey grabbed the cash counting machine in her arms and started to count the money.

Once there was movement over here, all the employees inside rushed out. “Greetings, Young Master! You’ve worked hard, Young Master! Please come in, Young Master!” They went in happily as they joked and laughed along the way.

Originally, with Hong Dali’s current popularity, it was definitely easy to become surrounded by people.

However, it was a different case here. Even before he had become famous, these people had started to follow him. Now that he had become famous, that feeling was not as shocking anymore. Even if Hong Dali had taken Big Turtle the Black Tortoise out, they wouldn’t think that it was a big thing anymore.

In fact, had Hong Dali carried a flying saucer in and said that he’d picked it up from the roadside, this group of people would definitely not doubt him.

This was the Hong Dali’s style of a miracle, they were already used to it.

“Aiyo, Young Master has come, please come in quickly!” The general manager of Zhong Dian website, Old Yang, rushed out and gestured for Hong Dali to come in once he saw him. “I haven’t seen Young Master for a while, you look more energetic than before now! Quickly come in, please!”

Speaking of which, working for a Young Master who’d give tips whenever he liked had altered his mood as well.

Everyone entered the big conference room, and after Hong Dali and the rest had taken their seats before the conference table, Hong Dali smiled and asked, “How are things going on recently? Have any good novels appeared?”

To him, it didn’t matter whether the online novel website was earning money. The important thing was whether there were good novels to read.

Anyway, now that the system had upgraded, the unit measurement had already gone up to that of a million, and the expenses of this Zhong Dian website couldn’t really catch up now…

But how would Director Yang know about this? He was still happily reporting. “Young Master, there are currently a few more novels that are enjoying great popularity as well. The style of these novels is different from that previously chosen by Young Master. En, they’re all good books. Currently, there are quite a number of them with the alliance-leader genre. There are already a few thousand of them being collected. If Young Master is interested, I’ll ask the secretary to fix the address for you and add it to your bookshelf.”

“En, this is good, this is good!” As an experienced bookworm, it wasn’t enough for him to read those novels that were updated daily by five people. The speed of writing and reading novels was not proportionate at all. An author may spend one to two hours writing 3,000 words, while the reader, if fast enough, would finish reading it within three to five minutes, and if slower, would spend ten minutes and above to finish reading it. Thus, in fact, Hong Dali didn’t have much time to read books in the day. Now that there were new books being released, of course, he would have to read them properly.

Thus, Hong Dali resolutely said, “En, OK. I’ll go spam on bestowing rewards for the alliance-leader rank to the few of them, then I’ll have a look on whether they’re well written.”

“OK, no problem. You’ve rewarded those classmates quite a fair bit. Just do as you please, Young Master.” Director Yang respectfully said.

“En. Of course, that won’t be a problem.” Hong Dali directly agreed, and soon after, he asked, “Oh right, that person that can spend money, what’s his name? Where is he?”

“Young Master, you’re asking about Zhang Wenyang?” Director Yang’s forehead brimmed with sweat. “Manager Zhang is out running errands. According to what he said, he’s gone to study into how he could help Young Master spend money. Looking at the time, he should be back by now…”

Just then, after Director Yang had just finished speaking, a loud exclamation sounded from outside. “Young Master, where is Young Master? Good news, a huge piece of good news!”

Soon after, someone ran inside like a whirlwind, gasping for breath.

That person was sloppily dressed, his hair was messy, his skin was dark, and he looked more like a worker moving bricks at construction sites. He was exactly the person who knew how to spend money, Manager Zhang, Zhang Wenyang. That fellow had been here for such a long time, had it been others, they would’ve dressed better long ago. Instead, he was still the same. However, he did wear better clothes than last time, it was just that he was still wearing the clothes of a worker.

“Haha, what good news, quickly say it!” This fellow’s ability to spend money was not bad at all. Thus, Hong Dali had rather high expectations. “How is the effect this time?”

“It’s absolutely a good thing!” Zhang Wenyang gasped for breath, after which, he smiled and said, “I’ve helped you to contact a production crew which specializes in filming movies. Actually, initially, ‘The Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre: Pugilistic World’ crew were better. However, they’re too busy for the time being. Thus, I could only contact another company for you. The name of this company is… I’ve forgotten its name. Anyway, it has quite a strong ability!”

As expected, that was the base member of Hong Dali’s squandering group. He was as muddleheaded as Hong Dali.

“Good! This is really not bad!” Hong Dali laughed heartily. “Good job! What movie do you think we should film, then?”

Since Zhang Wenyang had dared to look for a film production crew, he was, of course, fully prepared beforehand. Thus, he hurriedly replied, “Currently, our online novels enjoy explosive popularity on our website, and the daily views and recommendations are increasing rapidly. I was thinking, why don’t we film a fantasy film! With the spectacular martial arts moves by the actors and the explosive scenes, that will definitely create a great effect!”

Hong Dali’s eyes lit up. “Will it require a lot of money?”

Zhang Wenyang fiercely nodded and said, “Yes!”

Tang Muxin smacked her forehead. This was the perfect example of a bad friend!

Hong Dali immediately decided. “Let’s do that! Get me the best scriptwriter, best director, best lightings, and the best actors! Everything must be the best! How much do you reckon we need so that it’s enough for all these?”

Zhang Wenyang fished out his calculator and pressed furiously. “20 million is definitely enough!”

Director Yang exclaimed in his heart. “What the heck!”

“This is good!” Hong Dali fiercely smacked his thigh.

20 million! With this amount of money thrown into it, I can then exchange for a type of subsidiary from the system!

*[Technology]. [Skill], [Survival], just by thinking of it feels great, right?! *However… Hong Dali was a little troubled again. There was still the mission of squandering 10 million within two weeks, and the outcome would be very serious should the mission not be completed!

Looks like I still need to find other ways to spend money, just this alone is obviously not enough.

Hong Dali touched his chin, and afterward, he instructed Zhang Wenyang. “I say, Old Zhang, you continue to do the contacting first. En, find the best scriptwriters, lightings, and actors, otherwise, it will be pointless.”

“I understand.” Zhang Wenyang nodded fiercely. “I have to find the best for Young Master!”

“Good! I like what you said!” Hong Dali was quite satisfied.

Just then, Tang Muxin, who had been listening from the side, tugged Hong Dali’s sleeve in a pitiful manner. “Dali, can I guest star in it? It’s a movie! A movie with 20 million invested in it!”

“Sure! It has to be done!” Hong Dali laughed heartily. “Since our Xinxin has spoken, there will absolutely be no problem at all! Everybody join in as well. Hm, Sister Nianwei, you join in too. With Sister Nianwei on the big screen, that will definitely be awesome!”

Director Yang instantly froze. Needless to say, just based on Li Nianwei and Tang Muxin’s looks alone, it was hard for this movie not to become popular!

“Alright, Old Zhang, when you’ve settled everything at your side, we’ll prepare to start it up.” Hong Dali stood up. “I’ll go downstairs to have a look first. I wonder how’s it going with my Sister Zixuan’s gaming progress. I haven’t gone there for the past few days.” Before he left, Hong Dali didn’t forget to tip again. “I’m in a good mood today. 1,000 more for each person!”

“Goodbye, Young Master!” Director Yang took the lead in exclaiming. “Thank you, My Lord!”

“Thank you, My Lord!”

Therefore, Hong Dali and the rest went out in high spirits as they took the elevator heading downstairs.

The third floor of Chenhui Building. Once they reached the main entrance, Hong Dali spotted a gold and flashy signboard in front of the main door saying: “ONLINE GAMING E-SPORTS COMPETITION HEADQUARTERS.” The signboard was a full three meters or longer, and it inherited the grandeur that Hong Dali loved the most, with all the words on the signboard plated with gold. A single indifferent look could blind the eyes of passersby.

“Who did this signboard?” Hong Dali was delighted. “It’s so awesome!”

Ling Xiaoyi said from the side, “This was requested by Miss Zixuan. She said that since Young Master is a prodigal, it has to have the exuberance of a prodigal. Thus, she came up with it.”

Tang Muxin said angrily, “I’ll strangle her once I see her later!”

Hong Dali was completely unconcerned on the other hand. Anyway, he did things as he pleased and didn’t even think of it as an issue. Thus, he directly walked inside. “En, this doesn’t sound too bad. Let’s see how things over here are now.”
