Chapter 605: Cheng Jitang Red BeanTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“This sword?” Seeing that Hong Dali was curious about the sword behind him, Deca took it down immediately and held the hilt out towards Hong Dali. “I made this myself. Game developer, I should have some special privileges. This sword is powerful, want to try?”

“Okay!” Hong Dali took the greatsword with one hand and swung it in an arc, huffing. Finally, he chopped a big rock like cutting vegetables. With a cracking sound, the rock split into two pieces!

“This sword is really powerful!” Hong Dali exclaimed in surprise. “What grade is it? It’s worth a lot, isn’t it?”

“Ah, haha, it’s still okay.” As he watched Hong Dali holding the sword effortlessly, Deca’s eyebrows arched visibly in surprise. He smiled as he took the sword back and said, “It’s not very expensive. I set the price at just two hundred thousand Galaxy Dollars.” As he said this, he looked intently at Hong Dali’s eye, wondering what Hong Dali’s response would be.

“Two hundred thousand Galaxy Dollars?” Hong Dali opened his eyes wide in curiosity. “What are Galaxy Dollars?”

Galaxy Dollars? This was the first time he had heard of it.

“Ah? Galaxy Dollars?” Deca was obviously taken aback by Hong Dali’s question. “This… it’s actually the in-game currency for the game I developed. It’s separated into Planet Dollars and Galaxy Dollars. One thousand Planet Dollars exchanges for one Galaxy Dollar. Anyway, it’s just something I made to play with. Planet Dollars are not significant. Galaxy Dollars are the valuable ones, about…” Then, he scratched his head. “I don’t know how to explain the value of the Galaxy Dollar. Anyway, Galaxy Dollars are very valuable. Hehe.”

Although he did not understand, it sounded very cool…

“Planet Dollars and Galaxy Dollars? That sounds interesting.”* *Hong Dali chuckled and scratched his head. “How come I didn’t think of that. It sounds really sophisticated when you say it like that.”

“By the way, little brother Dali, you seem very strong?” Deca looked earnestly at Hong Dali. “This Glorious Greatsword is not light. I did not expect that you would be able to wield it so effortlessly.”

The sword looked really heavy, but it did not feel as heavy as it looked when he held it in his hand—perhaps forty pounds. To Hong Dali, whose attributes were all at a hundred, lifting it was not taxing at all.

“Ah, haha. I’m the creator of this game. I get some special privileges too.” Hong Dali laughed and said, “This is okay, still okay. Hehe.” As he said that, he winked and said, “Speaking of which, I should bring some good stuff in here too. Otherwise, look, you are dressed in such cool gear but I look so shabby. This does not fit the image of a successful prodigal. Hoho. When I get back I will bring in my Mechanical Holy Garment. That will be super!”

After he heard what Hong Dali said, Deca did not know whether to laugh or to cry. He decided instead to change the topic. “Ah, that can be arranged. If there is an opportunity, I will get you some gear too. Oh right, I want to go adventuring in the forest. Do you want to come along?”

“Adventuring in the forest?” Dali looked at Deca, then at the forest. As he heard the howls of huge beasts coming from the forest, Hong Dali said, shocked, “Brother Deca, you really want to go dragon killing? Is that the Megalosaurus you designed? Will it drop equipment after it’s killed?”

It was an online game. When monsters and bosses were killed, they dropped equipment, was it not?

However, Deca shook his head and stood up. He said, “Keke, how can a wild beast drop equipment? Actually, I want to see if there’s any valuable material in the nests of the large beasts here. If we find Ideon ore, then we’ll be rich!” He started walking once he finished talking. As he walked, he asked Hong Dali, “Little brother Dali, are you coming with me?”

“Yes, yes.” Hong Dali quickly caught up with him before asking curiously, “Ideon ore? What is that?”

“Ah, this…” Deca stopped walking and explained to Hong Dali. “This is an extremely rare ore I put in the game. It can increase the damage of a weapon and also make it more durable, so it’s very valuable. My Glorious Greatsword is made of mostly ordinary steel, but because I have added about two hundred grams of Ideon ore to it, it’s worth two hundred thousand Galaxy Dollars. If we are lucky and find more, we can become millionaires overnight! It’s great!”

Damn, this Ideon ore sounds really powerful! It can turn a person into a millionaire overnight, it was so super duper cool?!

“Just two hundred grams of it is worth two hundred thousand Galaxy Dollars?” said Hong Dali in surprise. “That means this Ideon ore must be very, very rare?”

“Of course.” Deca said, “It’s more valuable than gold! Ideon ore is the most valuable metallic ore in this world.” It was obvious that Deca was naturally sociable. He rarely saw any other person in this world and was inevitably excited. “There is a type of plant, which is the best for cultivating pets. It’s called the Chen Jitang Red Bean. Fighting-type pets can surpass their growth limit after eating it and become extra-large. Their fighting ability will also increase. One Chen Jitang Red Bean costs about ten thousand Galaxy Dollars. Anyway, I… yes, I made them very rare too. Anyone who has one will become rich overnight.”

Eh? He had not even figured out what Ideon ore was but this Chen Jitang Red Bean sounded very much like his Dali beans. Were those not snacks? He ate those by the handful…

“Ah, Brother Deca,” Asked Dali, “You developed the game, why do you still need to explore?”

“I obviously have to.” The two of them were walking through the forest, with Deca clearing the way in front cautiously. As they walked, he said, “If I knew everything in a game I developed, it would be really boring. I made it more complicated so such explorations can be more interesting.” After he said that, he chopped at a few branches that were blocking the way before saying, “Careful, there are many fierce animals here. I made many of them high-leveled. If they discover us, we’ll be dead. For example, the Golden-armored Green-eyed Tiger. If we meet that by accident, we’ll have to respawn.”

Golden-armored Green-eyed Tiger? That name sounded similar to his Little Bullet. He wondered how powerful it could be?

“That’s a good name.” Dali asked, “Is this Golden-armored Green-eyed Tiger much more powerful than an ordinary tiger?”

“Well…” Deca thought about it before answering, “That goes without saying! The eyes of the Golden-armored Green-eyed Tiger are green and its body is covered by a golden carapace. It’s as swift as the wind. It’s a Planet-level beast and its claws are sharp enough to claw through a rock, and its head is strong enough to knock a tree down with one headbutt.”

“Wah, that’s fierce!” Hong Dali’s eyes were as big as saucers. “We had better not meet it!”

After walking for a while more, Deca suddenly stopped. His eyes were full of terror and he said anxiously, “What you fear always comes. I think I heard the roar of a Golden-armored Green-eyed Tiger… It’s headed toward us, and there is more than one! Run!”

As he spoke he grabbed Hong Dali’s arm and ran desperately back.

However, how could the speed of a human be faster than that of a tiger? Before they even took a few steps, they stopped…

In front of the two of them were two gigantic tigers that were about 10 feet long. The two tigers were covered in shiny gold carapaces. In between the carapace, their black and yellow fur could be seen. Two pairs of green eyes stared intently at Hong Dali and Deca.

“We… we’re done for…” Deca was so scared his legs were trembling.

Although he was holding the Glorious Greatsword, he did not feel safe or confident at all. As a Planet-level beast, the Golden-armored Green-eyed Tiger was practically invincible in this world. It was unbelievably fast, its claws were capable of inflicting great damage, and it was very strong. Worse, there were two of them! Having been spotted by two such creatures, they had no chance of survival.

“If we die later,” Deca hurriedly instructed. “Just close your eyes. You will respawn at the place you entered the game in about ten minutes.”

“Okay.” Hong Dali answered in a daze. Then he looked at the two Golden-armored Green-eyed Tigers and asked, “Brother, want to ride them?”

Deca was completely dumbstruck…

Those were Golden-armored Green-eyed Tigers! They had one of the strongest attacks among the Planet-level beasts. Right then, they were sprawled at Hong Dali’s feet, docile as kittens! Not just that, one of them just rubbed Hong Dali’s leg with its head!

Damn! He was definitely seeing things! Definitely!

“Ah, haha, you are so obedient.” Hong Dali immediately got onto the back of one of the Golden-armored Green-eyed Tigers. “I say, such cute animals would not eat people. Brother Deca, Xiao Huang said you can ride on the other tiger, Xiao Hei! Let’s go exploring on them!”

Xiao Huang, Xiao Hei…

There were Planet-level beasts. They could actually be ridden?!

Deca stared wide-eyed at Hong Dali. “Little Brother Dali, you can control animals? These are Planet-level beasts. they are supposed to be ferocious, splitting rocks with a swipe of their claws, felling trees with a swing of their tails. Their carapace is impenetrable and they are invincible in the galaxy… no, in this world!”

“Ah, how would I know all that.” Hong Dali patted the Golden-armored Green-eyed Tiger Xiao Huang’s big head in satisfaction. “Anyway, this little fellow is really obedient. He won’t eat anyone!”

“Okay… okay…” The amount of information he got today was a little overwhelming. Deca made up his mind—if he refused to ride the beast, it would be even more miserable if he got eaten. He might as well get on.

When they rode the Planet-level beasts, Hong Dali was exhilarated!

“Yahoo!!!” Hong Dali laughed and cheered as he rode on the Golden-armored Green-eyed Tiger Xiao Huang. “It’s exhilarating! A world uninhabited by people, so great!”

How could it not be great? The beasts were faster than sports cars. Their speed was estimated to be seventy to eighty yards per hour and they traversed the mountain slopes and turns like they were on flat land. The wind whistled in their ears and every leap was seventeen or eighteen meters. All the other creatures in the forest retreated when they approached. This was the epitome of an indomitable king!
