Chapter 683: Squander!Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Yes, it looks good!” Hong Dali took a good look. The necklace looked very good on Tang Muxin’s pearly white neck. It looked especially luminous on her. The necklace looked good, the person looked even better. He immediately asked the stall owner, “Boss, how much is this necklace?”

“Miss, it looks good on you.” Tang Muxin was a young lady with one hundred and twenty-five points in charm. The stall owner, a lady of about thirty years old, nodded approvingly as she looked at her. “This necklace is made of water drop jade. It is just an ornamental accessory that does not add any attributes, so it costs only five Galaxy Dollars.”

Five Galaxy Dollars would make this a mid-grade ornamental accessory—after all, it was not considered a piece of equipment and it did not add to any attributes.

If it were anyone else, he might have tenderly commented on the lady’s beauty, pay for the necklace, and put it on for her personally. It would be really romantic and would increase the lady’s affection for him.

Unfortunately, that was other people. Prodigal Hong was Prodigal Hong. There was no comparison.

“Boss, how much is that?” Hong Dali pointed at another accessory and asked, “How about this, and this…”

“Five Galaxy Dollars, four Galaxy Dollars.” The boss told Hong Dali the price of each item. “This one is a little more expensive, twelve Galaxy Dollars.”

“They’re all very cheap.” Hong Dali said decisively, “Five thousand. I want all of it. I’ll bring them home as gifts.”

“Brat!” Tang Long, who had become a panda, said, “You just have to buy one or two of these things. Why in the world did you buy all of it?! Five thousand dollars is not a small amount!” Although Invincible East was rich, he was not so rich that his money had to be squandered like that…

“Ah, I think they look good,” Hong Dali said matter-of-factly. “So I bought all of it. My Xinxin and Sister Nianwei can wear whichever they want! One per day, no need for repetitions!”

Great, once he said this, the originally romantic ambiance became different…

“I can’t wear so many…” Tang Muxin looked at the two hundred over pieces of accessories at the store and looked down in despair. “Dali, you idiot, the atmosphere was actually quite nice…”

Li Nianwei covered her mouth and gave a little laugh. Perhaps this was Young Master’s style. It was actually quite interesting…

In the end, buying the entire stall for five thousand dollars ended up reducing Tang Muxin’s affections for him by one point.

Damn it!

Lucifer slapped his forehead. Young Master was really… stupid!

“Eh, this necklace is quite pretty.” Just as Hong Dali was getting ready to pack up the little trinkets, a female voice was heard. Suddenly, another young lady who was about eighteen or nineteen years old appeared near the four of them. The young lady pushed her way in and picked up the water drop jade necklace Tang Muxin was trying on previously. She postured with the necklace in front of her own neck. As she looked, she called out to a man who was walking slowly toward her. “Big Brother Fang, does this look nice on me?”

The young lady spoke rapidly. As she chattered, she sounded like a little magpie.

However, she was quite pretty. She had short sky-blue hair which actually went quite well with the blue of the water drop jade.

“Yes, it looks nice.” Big Brother Fang approached slowly and praised her. “It really looks very pretty on you. I’ll buy it for you if you like it, what do you think?”

Big Brother Fang was about 1.85 meters tall and good looking. He had a confident smile on his face and it was obvious he was the kind of man that women dreamed of.

“Brat.” Panda Tang Long swatted Hong Dali hard on the back of his head. “Look at him, then look at you. I’m so angry I’m about to die!”

Tang Muxin nodded vehemently. Yes, yes!

Then, Hong Dali did something that made everyone depressed. Actually, he did not really do much, all he did was say, “Ah, I’m very sorry. This stall has been completely bought by me…” And then he added, “Including this necklace…”

Damn!

Tang Long barely resisted killing him with one bite. He was breaking up a pair of lovers!

Tang Muxin was depressed. Hong Dali was completely ruining the atmosphere! He should not be doing that!

Li Nianwei was depressed. Young Master really did not seem to have a single romantic cell in him.

Lucifer was depressed. There was a heartbreaker like him next to Hong Dali and he was acting in such a callous manner.

The girl was depressed. The necklace was sold…

As for Big Brother Fang, he was definitely depressed. Such a good opportunity to improve their relationship had floated away like clouds.

Hong Dali was not skilled at picking up girls, but he was a professional at spoiling matters when other people were trying to pick up girls. You had to hand it to him!

“Ah, that…” After a short pause, it was obvious that that Big Brother Fang was a shrewd man who had experience in love. “Since the stall has been bought by you, brother, it would not be nice if I insist on buying the necklace. How about this, brother, I can give you a +5 Alien Core in exchange for the necklace. What do you think?”

Big Brother Fang was indeed a love expert! Once he said that everyone’s expressions immediately changed!

“Look! This is the way!” Tang Long gave Hong Dali another hard swat and then hurriedly instructed him in a low voice. “A +5 Alien Core costs two thousand dollars. This necklace is only worth five Galaxy Dollars. Sell, must sell!”

Tang Muxin was once again dejected. Hong Dali was good in every other way, how was it that he had no romance in him at all? Why?!

The young lady’s eyes brightened and she exclaimed happily, “Big Brother Fang, you are so good to me! I don’t want this necklace anymore. I am content with just your words!!”

The owner of the street stall stared at him. A rich man, this was a really rich man!

At that moment, everyone was looking at Hong Dali, waiting to see what he would do.

As expected, Prodigal Hong did not react like other people. He actually shook his head!

“What, brother, you can’t help me out here?” Seeing that Hong Dali had rejected him once again, Big Brother Fang was feeling a little awkward. “Brother, if you feel it’s too little, I can add another core.”

In an instant, the necklace’s value went from two thousand to four thousand, but the situation was tense now.

If it were anyone else, they would either outright refuse to trade for the sake of their pride or quickly make the trade for the sake of money. Hong Dali, however, smiled and said, “A gentleman must help others fulfill their desires. I will give this necklace to your pretty companion as a gift. Talking about money harms relationships!”

He refused to exchange it for two Alien Cores and gave it away instead!

“Prodigal!” Tang Long pounded on Hong Dali’s shoulders, crying to the heavens. “Two Alien Cores! Four thousand dollars! He wanted to give those to you in exchange for your necklace. Not only did you reject it, but you also gave the necklace away for free instead! God, there is no logic!” When he said that there was no logic, there was indeed none. Tang Long was a man—no, an AI butler—who had seen the world, but nowhere in his logic coding was there a scene where people gave away money which was practically in their hands. What kind of situation was this? Was his coding out of date? It could not be, it had only been a thousand years…

“Ah? This… that…” Big Brother Fang was also a little confused after hearing what Hong Dali said. He was a little angry earlier, but in order to make his lady happy, he was willing to make the trade. However, the other guy just gave it to her? And rejected two Alien Cores?

Big Brother Fang took the necklace from Hong Dali, stunned beyond words. Finally, he muttered, “Well, in that case, I will accept your offer, brother. I am the Thunderbolt Dynasty Union President, Fang Han. This is my friend, Xue Ji. If you need any help, brother, let me know. If it’s within my power, I will do what I can.”

Look at how eloquent he was!

Tang Muxin pouted. Giving up the necklace was no big deal, but Hong Dali, that piece of wood, was too hateful! If he could be just one-tenth, no, just one-hundredth as romantic as Fang Han, that would be enough!

“Oh, Big Brother Fang is the President of a big union. Hello, hello!” Hong Dali had no idea how big the Thunderbolt Dynasty Union was, but he could not go wrong if he called it “big”. He quickly put out his hand. “Hello, hello, my name is Hong Dali. I’m a prodigal!”

“Brother Dali, you…” Fang Han did not know whether to laugh or to cry. He had no idea that a handshake was a greeting on Earth and was confused. “What does this mean?”

“Oh, this is how we express friendship where I come from.” Hong Dali looked at Lucifer. “I put my hand out. What should you do?”

Lucifer quickly put his hand out and shook Hong Dali’s hand. The two of them looked at Fang Han. “Like this.”

“Ah, that is an interesting greeting.” Fang Han smiled and put his hand out to shake Hong Dali’s hand. “Pleased to meet you.”

“Same, same. Haha!” Hong Dali laughed and asked Lucifer to pack up before he said, “Big Brother Fang, this is my first time here. Do you know of anything fun to do?”

It was rare to meet someone who seemed amicable enough, so Hong Dali wasted no time in getting as much information as he could.

Speaking of which, although Tang Long had been with a great man like Invincible East for many years, he had never been to the virtual world near Shenlou City. Since this virtual world was for people to explore, every region must have different special traits. Tang Long had no idea what kind of areas there were nearby to explore. He could only ask other people in the world.

“Actually, we have half an hour before we have to gather to go to a new and mysterious place.” Fang Han looked around before whispering, “Would Brother Dali like to come with us? It can be dangerous inside, so when the time comes, Brother Dali, you should be fine if you just observe from the fringe.”

Recently appeared! Secret area! This was great. It was best for adventuring!

As expected, when Hong Dali and the others heard that there was such a place, their eyes lit up. Tang Muxin said, “Dali, great. Let’s go take a look?”

Tang Long also hurried to give advice. “A new area usually means that there has been a change in certain areas. It will be very dangerous. It also means that you may get a lot of very valuable things inside! What you lack most is a foundation. Money is a small issue, the key is a network of contacts. Develop this relationship with Fang Han well and start off slow. Get a foothold here and it will be easy to further develop after that.”
