Chapter 336 - The Gamble

Chapter 336: The Gamble

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The property value of this sci-fi town, looking at it now, seemed to be of not much value yet. However, once the construction of the campus city was complete, judging from Hong Dali’s usual style, all the facilities here would definitely be of the highest standard. Also, the geographical environment of this location was decent. If one were to say that previously, when Tianjing Mountain was not developed, this place was just a piece of barren land, but once Tianjing Mountain was developed…

This place would be valuable! And highly valuable at that!

Hence, the moment the others heard that Hong Dali wanted to give away the properties at this location to them, their eyes all lit up. These properties definitely had the supreme potential of rising in value—compared to the piece of land at the West Fourth Loop, this was much more impressive!

“Young Master, are you really planning to give away the properties here to us?” Ling Xiaoyi softly asked, “The land here will be very valuable in the future…”

“If it weren’t valuable, why would I be giving it away?” Hong Dali asked, feeling weird at the question. “Sister Nianwei and Sister Cai are still living in Chenhui Building now. Also, Sister Xiaoyi, the lackeys and you don’t seem to have any decent place to stay at, much less to say for the others. Everyone should have an apartment, and I have a lot of these anyway. This entire huge plot of land is all mine! However much I want, I will be able to have it!”

What he said was right. This huge plot of land was nearly bigger than the area of a prefecture. He really didn’t lack these few blocks of condominiums…

Hence, the crowd all hailed, “Thank you, My Lord!”

Even Liu Mingxin and Liang Yifeng had learned it…

…

Imperial Hotel, Presidential Suite.

“How are all the arrangements going? The publicity for Min Feiyao’s concert should be about done, right?” Ko Gohon sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and asked the bodyguard, “How is the current reception?”

The bodyguard respectfully replied, “Young Master, as of now, Li Nianwei’s news have nearly been erased. As long as Miss Feiyao’s concert starts, I believe her popularity will definitely surge quickly. With the passing of some time, the people of Heavenly State will know only Miss Feiyao and not Li Nianwei.”

“Well done!” Ko Gohon slapped his thigh ferociously and laughed. “We cannot miss such a good chance to humiliate Hong Dali. Get the car ready at once, I’m planning to find Hong Dali for a little gamble, haha.”

“Yes!”

…

“Mama, quick, look, that row of limousines is so pretty!”

On the street, a young boy pointed towards the long black limousine that sped past like lightning in the middle of the road. “That’s so cool. What brand is it? Can we have one for our family too?”

“That?” The young mother could be considered an automobile enthusiast too, so she immediately replied, “That’s a Toyoda Prime Minister Grade limousine. It’s very expensive. One costs more than 800,000 yuan, we can’t afford it.”

“Oh… So expensive…” The young boy stuck his tongue out. “Then let’s not buy it.”

“Yup, good boy.” Mother smiled. “Shall we go to Fengyuan Lake and look at the Big Turtle?”

“OK!”

…

Chenhui Building, ninth floor.

“Young Master, Ko Gohon is here again.” Ling Xiaoyi felt odd and said, “Who knows what he’s up to today.”

“This dude is really annoying…” Hong Dali said, dispirited. “Why does he keep coming over to my place, doesn’t he know that I’m very busy…” However, although he complained about this, he still had to see him. “Let’s go, we’ll see what that dude wants to say.”

Very soon, they reached the doorstep. Ko Gohon brought four bodyguards with him and he stood there cockily. The moment he saw Hong Dali, he laughed and said, “Hahaha, isn’t this our little prodigal Hong Dali? You really came out? Aiyaya, I haven’t heard any news about you for the past few days, this makes me feel really lonely! Hahaha, how’s this, have you felt my might now? You are a little too weak to be pitted against me, haha!”

“I didn’t sense any might.” Hong Dali twitched his mouth condescendingly. “I do sense a retard though. You came running here just to tell me all this rubbish?”

“Of course not, I’m not so senseless.” Ko Gohon proudly lit a cigarette, took a good puff and laughed. “Hong Dali, I recall that you’ve always regarded yourself as a prodigal. I’m curious if you dare to have a gamble with me?”

“Have a gamble with you?” Hong Dali asked, feeling odd. “What’s there to gamble with a retard?”

“There is no point in just quarreling with the mouth.” Ko Gohon did not get angry. “Since you’re a prodigal, nothing wrong with me being a retard for once. I just want to ask, do you dare or not?”

“Oh…” Hong Dali blankly said, “Since you’ve already admitted to being a retard, you seem to have some sort of sincerity. Why don’t you say what you want to gamble about? But first let me put this straight, I’ll see whether or not I feel like taking the gamble.”

“Hahaha, you will feel like it!” Having heard Hong Dali’s reply, Ko Gohon immediately smiled and said, “We’ll bet on this. Tomorrow, we’ll bet on whose show has the higher popularity, Min Feiyao’s concert or your ‘I Am a Singer’ stage nine!”

“What the heck, you actually thought of such a lame gamble!?” Hong Dali was stunned. “Speaking of which, I think I’m right to say that you’re retarded. This little game does not even have a judging criterion. Even if I agree on the bet, how are we even supposed to do it?”

“There are many ways we can have the gamble, but it all boils down to whether you dare to.” Ko Gohon cockily said, “Doesn’t your Heavenly State have a So Cool video-sharing website? We’ll bet on the download volume on that website, shall we? Time limit is one week, whoever has the greater download volume wins!”

“This is really lame to the core…” Hong Dali twitched his lips. “Stakes?”

“As for the stakes…” Ko Gohon smacked his lips and suddenly said, “We’ll do with your cars. I remember it’s one Soaring Angel and four Prayer Angels, right? If I win, your cars are mine. If I lose, my ten Toyoda Prime Minister Grade limousines are yours. How does that sound?”

“Cars…” Hong Dali sniffled, looked over his shoulder and asked Ling Xiaoyi, “What’s the price of this dude’s so-called Toyoda Prime Minister Grade limousine? He’d better not bluff me with cheap low-end cars!”

Ling Xiaoyi stood by the side and didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. Ko Gohon was the young master of the Toyoda Conglomerate, he wouldn’t do that sort of thing even if you killed him. But still, she quickly replied, “About 800,000 to 900,000 per vehicle. Assuming ten of them, the value is similar to that of your five cars.”

“You need ten cars to match the value of my five?” Hong Dali looked at Ko Gohon with eyes full of contempt. “Aren’t your cars too cheap, ten of yours to match five of mine. I wonder how did you end up at such a poor stage…”

“All of that doesn’t matter. If you like,” Ko Gohon immediately took the opportunity seeing that Hong Dali had loosened up. “I don’t mind swapping to a few higher-valued cars instead. The Toyoda company is recently researching and developing a brand new car model, the highest-end Toyoda Emperor limousine, valued at about 2 million yuan each. As long as you agree to the bet, I’m fine with making the swap to these five brand new Toyoda Emperor limousines.”

“Oh, you can change it? Then that sounds passable.” Hong Dali listlessly said, “Alright then, I shall reluctantly agree. Anything else? If not I’ll go back to sleep, please stop coming over and keep disturbing my sleep, will you? The thing I hate the most is people who disturb my sleep…”

Anyway, since Hong Dali had agreed on the bet, it didn’t matter what he said of him.

Ko Gohon laughed loudly, with a proud look on his face, and said, “Good! As long as you agree to this bet, all is good. We’ll meet when the times comes! Hahahaha, you are the Heavenly State’s number one prodigal indeed, daring to accept a losing bet, hahaha!”

“Oh.” Hong Dali suddenly stood still, turned around and asked. “Oh right, if I win and go over to find you, you’d better not go back on your word and flee. That wouldn’t be interesting…”

“How could I possibly go back on my word given my status!” Ko Gohon definitively said, “It’d be fine if you don’t go back on your word! I’ll be at the Imperial Hotel Presidential Suite number 4. If you’d like, you can come and find me anytime.”

“Oh, great number.” Hong Dali turned his head and walked off. “I’ll go back to sleep then. Security, send the guest off…”

Leaving the Chenhui Building, Ko Gohon felt good. The bet today was set, and Hong Dali had accepted it, all that was left was to see what kind of shenanigans Hong Dali could come up with!

After I glamorously win this time, I’ll smash all of Hong Dali’s cars right in front of his face and get my revenge. I believe when that time comes, his expression will be very entertaining, hahaha!

It really feels good just thinking about it!

…

“Dali, you really accepted his bet?” Meanwhile, in Chenhui Building, Tang Muxin sat down next to Hong Dali while hugging Little Meow in her arms and exclaimed, “For the past two days, the entire Internet has been flooded with the news reports of Min Feiyao. Pitting against her concert’s popularity, is it really feasible? Furthermore, you are just solely depending on ‘I Am a Singer’ stage nine.”

“Why wouldn’t it work.” Hong Dali said indifferently. “Don’t we have Hatsune Miku? Besides, you’ve also given yourself a projection too. When the time comes, you two can team up and take the stage together. That dude, Ko Gohon, is really something, giving me a few more cars on his own accord. He really… has his brain squeezed by a door.”

Tang Muxin furiously nodded. “Yup, I think that’s the case. Oh right, Dali, what should I name my projection? Any good ideas?”

“Name?” Hong Dali thought for a while. “Let’s call it Luo Tianyi. This name sounds pretty good.”

“Luo Tianyi, Luo Tianyi…” Tang Muxin smiled and said, “Then, I shall use this name! Oh right, Dali, what would be a good song for Hatsune Miku and Luo Tianyi to sing?”

“What song to sing?” Hong Dali touched his chin and thought for a while. “Hm, for the past couple of days I had nothing better to do in school and wrote a song. It’s called ‘The Lantern Illuminates the Rivers and Mountains.’ Sing this song, I think it’d be good.”

“OK!” Tang Muxin walked forward, held Hong Dali’s arm and hurriedly said, “Well, what are we waiting for? Quickly go and start preparing!”

“O… OK. Hey, slowly, slowly…”

…

While Hong Dali was busy meeting up with Lin Chuyin and Tang Muxin to discuss the partnering of Hatsune Miku and Luo Tianyi, Ko Gohon was simply gloating and waiting for a spectacle. He had even sent out the five Toyoda Emperor Grade limousines.

Time went by very quickly. It was the ninth of July, Saturday, Min Feiyao’s Tianjing Stadium concert was about to begin…
