Chapter 761: Making Everyone Stronger

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The outer area of Tianjing Mountain, New Lanxiang Vocational School.

The reconstruction of the area that was beneath the school had been completed. It was now a huge new technology weapon manufacturing plant.

Right then, on Earth, Zhang Yi and Chuyin’s laboratory was where the most advanced technology was developed. New Lanxiang was where this advanced technology was manufactured—one researched and the other manufactured. It was a clear division of labor.

At the same time, the mysterious man and the President of Merika, McGregor, were here watching the latest developments in the production line.

“It’s really unexpected.” McGregor looked at the busy new technology weapons production line in front of him. He whispered, “We are preparing for interstellar warfare so soon. Sigh, Dali is not here. I don’t feel confident.”

“That’s true.” The mysterious man nodded. To be honest, he was also very worried. After all, the Galaxy Alliance regarded the Zerg as their biggest enemy, which went to show just how strong the Zerg were. Earth’s current technology could only be regarded as that of a Level Three or Four civilization. Although they had the High-Energy Electronic Collision Machine, it had yet to be proven in battle. The weapons to be used with it had also not been developed yet, so the only weapon they could use against the Zerg were nuclear bombs. However, the power of the nuclear bomb…

“According to the information Mr. Tang Long gave us,” said the mysterious man slowly, “there are huge numbers of Zerg, and they are mainly transported by the hive. Once they appear their numbers will cover the sky and the ground. Earth still does not have enough power to deal with them.”

“When will we be able to contact Master Dali?” To McGregor, Hong Dali was the savior. When he heard about the Zerg coming, the first thing he thought of was to get Hong Dali to return to Earth.

“It’s hard to say now.” The mysterious man shook his head. “It depends on luck. Hopefully, we’ll manage to contact Dali soon. He should be able to ask for protection for us from the Galaxy Alliance. It’s better to pay a price than to be completely destroyed by the Zerg.”

“That’s true.” McGregor rubbed his temples and said forlornly, “I hope he gets the news soon.”

The ordinary people on Earth had no inkling of the doom that was about to descend on them. Only the leaders of all the states had gotten the news. Right then, basically all the states were desperately making nuclear weapons. They might not be very effective against the Zerg, but it was better than just surrendering without a fight.

…

Hong Dali obviously had no idea what the situation back on Earth was. He had just come out of the virtual world with the lackeys and was preparing to start adding attributes for everyone.

In the Galaxy Alliance Center, attributes and abilities were very important. You could only survive by bettering yourself.

Inside Hong Dali’s room.

“Brat, why didn’t you go challenge the Tower of Trials? Why did you buy so many things?” Tang Long appeared from the space watch, rested. Previously, he had not thought of asking Hong Dali to attempt the Tower of Trials. In his mind, he thought that Hong Dali would at most be able to get past twenty or so levels. When he saw all the things hong Dali put in his room, he was immediately curious.

There were a lot of benefits to training in the Tower of Trials!

“I already completed it. It’s not very interesting. And it doesn’t require any money.” Hong Dali sniffled and picked up an attribute gem. It was gem processing time!

The debris surrounding the stone fell off in layers and soon the attribute stone inside could be seen—Strength +9.

“Not bad.” Hong Dali enchanted it as well, then threw it aside and continued with the next piece!

“Honestly speaking, you really went in?” Tang Long might be just an AI butler, but like a real person, he had his idiosyncrasies. He conjured up a cigar, put it between his lips and took a puff. Then, he arrogantly asked, “What level did you get to? Let me guess, you should have at least managed level sixteen or seventeen?”

“Pop”, another attribute gem was processed, it was an Agility +8 gem. He enchanted it and threw it aside. Without even turning his head, Hong Dali said, “It was okay. I passed thirty levels. Other than a Teleportation Ring, everything else was pretty ordinary. There wasn’t anything really good. The most important thing was, I couldn’t squander in there—oh right, I got a prodigal bird. It’s not bad, I like it!”

“Cough, cough, cough!” Hong Dali said it matter-of-factly that Tang Long started coughing violently. He coughed for quite a while as he was too shocked. “You say you passed all thirty levels? For real? In the past, there was a training tower just like this one. My Master only managed to pass twenty-six levels on the first day. The most powerful man in the Galaxy, Duan Xuan, also only managed to pass twenty-seven levels. And you are telling me you passed all thirty?!”

“I have skills that are very effective in there.” Hong Dali sniffled, unconcerned. “I’m lucky.”

“Even if your luck is good, it shouldn’t be possible to pass thirty levels in one day! Did the standard of the towers nowadays drop?” Tang Long decided to attribute Hong Dali’s achievement to the lowered standards of the Tower of Trials. He knew Hong Dali was too indifferent and he would not get an answer out of him. He shifted his attention elsewhere. “Speaking of which, what are you doing with these rubbish stones? Are you planning to raise your lackeys’ attributes? You have to buy high-grade gems. If you get ordinary ones they won’t help much…”

Then, he regretted it…

“This… this is…” Tang Long looked at another gem and his mouth gaped open. “God, this gem is Strength +13, this is Agility +12, another Strength +13… and there’s even one that is Strength +14!”

He was someone who had seen the world, but for some reason, when he was with Hong Dali, he somehow felt like a country bumpkin. Hong Dali mumbled, “Country bumpkin, this adds just a few points of attribute…”

“It’s a Strength +14 gem, what do you mean a few points of attribute?” Tang Long raged. “It’s less than one in ten thousand, and you say that the attribute is not high?”

He threw another enchanted gem that was Strength +13 out. “That’s right. Too bad I couldn’t find any +15 ones…”

“Fifteen! You can’t get those even if you have money!” Tang Long’s eyes were bulging out and he shouted, “Wait, not right, this is not right! You can process gems? You can increase the attributes of gems?

“Yes.” Hong Dali dug his nose. “But it’s not strong enough, I can only add four points…”

“Add four points?! Only?!” Tang Hong was instantly furious. “This is going against the natural order of things! With this ability, you’re practically a money-making machine! No wonder you are never worried even though you are such a prodigal. You are well aware of your abilities!”

“I’m afraid that I’m spending too little.” Hong Dali was a little troubled. To be honest, he was not in need of money now, but the problem was, he had no idea what kind of tasks the System would assign him in the future. According to the System’s usual behavior, the tasks he was currently doing were just easy ones. Simply put, they were just to test him. The harder tasks would definitely come later. If there were any tasks that he could not complete, the consequences would be dire!

“Brat, you must have many secrets,” Tang Long said, troubled. “However, I am an AI butler and cannot interfere too much with your matters. All right, what do you intend to do with these top-grade gems? Sell them?”

“Yes.” Hong Dali nodded. “I will keep some and throw the rest into my shop. They will be let go at one thousand each.”

Hong Dali did not dare to sell them for too much or the System might just kill him by taking away too many attribute points.

“Gasp—” Tang Long inhaled sharply. “You mean you are going to embed these gems onto equipment and sell them for one thousand each?”

“Yes.” Hong Dali nodded. “How can I squander otherwise?”

“I better continue sleeping, otherwise you’ll be the death of me!” Tang Long decided to go back to sleep…

“Bah, country bumpkin.” Hong Dali pursed his lips disdainfully and continued working on the gems.

Soon, when he had finished processing all the gems, Hong Dali started calling for the lackeys. “Lackeys, come in and choose your gear!”

Here, at the Galaxy Alliance Center, even the Galaxy Aristocrats probably had not had the chance to do this before—opening and presenting a room full of +13 and +14 attribute gems and telling others, “Take whatever you want, they aren’t very valuable anyway…”

They had all been with Hong Dali for quite a long time and occurrences like this were commonplace, so they were not too shocked. Otherwise, they might have been so shocked their heart might stop, and then they’d be nothing but a black and white photo…

“Hehe, Dali, you finished so many of them so soon?” Tang Muxin ran in first. When she saw gems all over the ground, she didn’t know what to do. But the little lass was very smart—she ignored the attributes of the gems, the practicality of the gear, and chose the pretty ones first…

Li Nianwei was a little better, the equipment she chose were all more sensual. As the leader of the lackeys, Ling Xiaoyi chose those that were relatively simple but which clearly showed her position.

After a brief period of confusion, Tang Muxin chose a set of light and airy cloth armor. Li Nianwei chose a set of figure-hugging leather armor. Ling Xiaoyi chose chain armor. Li Yang, Lucifer, and Levis simply just picked whatever caught their eye. There was no way that would go wrong!

Thereafter, everyone went back to their rooms to put on their new equipment before returning. When he saw them, Hong Dali was stunned!

Tang Muxin chose a white dress that reached her knees. On her feet were a pair of white high-heeled shoes and on her hands white, long gloves. With her jet-black hair and obsidian black eyes, she looked like a little princess.

Li Nianwei was clad in super sexy leather. She had on a black jacket, black hot-pants and black high boots which revealed a stretch of snowy white leg. Together with her angelic smile, yes, she was what people described when they talked about angels with the body of a demon.

Ling Xiaoyi had on a full suit of chain armor. She looked like a female comic book warrior. Looking good was a must.

Levis and the rest of the men were all clad in medieval armor and looked really dashing. If such a large group of people went out looking like that, they were sure to become the center of everyone’s attention!
