The brat was not just randomly squandering. The mysterious man had suspected that right from the beginning, and now he had confirmation.

The mysterious man was unable to find out more. Even if he had asked, Hong Dali was probably not allowed to tell him. This was his greatest secret, and what the mysterious man needed to do was to keep the secret deep in his heart and give Hong Dali his full support regardless of what he said. action

At a crucial time such as this, Hong Dali’s secrets were insignificant compared to the safety of all mankind.

In just an instant, Hong Dali’s image had grown significantly. He was a prodigal out to save the world!

“This is not a big problem.” The mysterious man rubbed his chin and said, “You’re buying Toyoda cars now. According to our calculations, there are about 5 million Toyoda cars in our country. If we are to calculate based on the buying price of thirty thousand each, that will be a total of 150 billion. I wonder if that amount is sufficient.”

He knew Hong Dali had never been very good with numbers. Therefore, he had calculated the numbers in advance and given him the final figures in case Hong Dali made a calculation mistake...

“One hundred and fifty billion, this is good, this is good. That should be about it!” Hong Dali nodded vehemently and said, “It’s a perfect amount to squander. Hehe, hehehehe...”

One hundred and fifty billion, that would mean fifteen thousand attribute points! That should be just enough for a system upgrade. What were the technological blueprints for the next level like?

Aiyaya, who was the one who came up with the idea of buying Toyoda cars as a way to squander? He should be generously rewarded!

Fantastic!

“Well, taking into account all of the Hong family’s assets, it will be hard for you to find that much money.” The mysterious man quietly calculated and deduced that the total assets of the Hong family were about 20 billion yuan. Even if he added the assets of Mu Tie and Liu Yihui, it was still only 80 billion. It was still quite a significant shortfall...

“Ah, didn’t I say we should start circulating the Dali Dollars?” Hong Dali didn’t worry about money at all. “Grandpa Mysterious, all you have to do is encourage all the Internet companies to start using Dali Dollars. It’s that simple.”

“This is not a problem.” the mysterious man nodded, and then asked, “The question is, what to do with the Toyoda cars? We can’t possibly just throw them aside and ignore them after we buy them, right?”

Buying five million Toyoda cars and leaving them as junk metal?

“Things will always work out. There should be a way.” Hong Dali expressed that this was not an issue. His mission was just to squander anyway. “I only care about spending money, I don’t care about earning!”

“Okay... okay, brat.” The mysterious man and the Bureau Chief had no suitable reply for Hong Dali’s declaration.

“Yes. Right, right.” Just then, Hong Dali remembered something very important. “What about my Granzon? I must have the car back. Oh, by the way, the meteorite we found in the cave previously, give that to me too? I’ll make a Gundam to play with!”

“The Adamantium?!” The Bureau Chief exclaimed in surprise. “That is very precious, very rare—hey, do you think that might be Ideon ore?”

“No.” The mysterious man was very certain. “The characteristics of Adamantium are different from Deca’s description. This stuff is the hardest metal in the universe, but it’s not that strong that two hundred grams of it would significantly increase the sharpness and durability of a forty over kilogram sword. The main thing is, it’s not flexible at all. It’s not what Deca described.”

Deca said that if Ideon ore was added to iron, it would allow the weapon to stay sharp longer and also increase the flexibility as well as durability.

Sharpness and durability were average improvements, but flexibility...

Adamantium ore definitely had nothing to do with flexibility.

“Aiya, aiya, I shall not bother with it.” Hong Dali sniffled. He did not seem worried at all. “I only care about squandering, I don’t care about anything else. I do think, however, that if my Granzon was to get its outer chassis made of Adamantium, it would be really sturdy. Hehe.”

The mysterious man exchanged a look with the Bureau Chief before nodding in agreement. “Okay. I will arrange immediately for the ore to be sent to you.”

The Adamantium ore did not have much significance in his possession, but if he were to give it to Hong Dali, it was possible that he might discover a use for it that was beyond everybody’s expectations.

When he had finished making all the arrangements, the mysterious man stood up slowly and gave Hong Dali a firm pat on the shoulder. “Dali, whether mankind gets enslaved by aliens here to colonize our planet or are able to trade with aliens as equals will all depend on you. For the sake of all humanity, squander well!”

Damn! The front part sounded so grand and heroic. The last part, however, seemed so weird...

“Yes.” Hong Dali smiled and nodded. “That will definitely not be a problem!”

“In that case, we will go back and make some arrangements.” The mysterious man gave his last command. “Dali, do your worst to the world. Exterminate all the unstable factors that exist on Earth!”

They were on the brink of extraterrestrial contact. If anything were to happen internally on Earth, it was definitely not good news.

“Okay.” Hong Dali shrugged. “In that case, I will squander on an even bigger scale.”

“Ok. We will go back now.” The mysterious man thought for a while. “Oh, by the way, the next time you enter the virtual world, bring Wu Di with you. It’s good if he’s with you. Also, he can collect some information.”

“Deal. Next time we will go in a larger group.”

...

Once they exited the island of Big Fish, the mysterious man and the Bureau Chief both sighed at the same time. The mysterious man said, “I did not expect that our first contact with extraterrestrial life would come so soon. Right now things still seem pretty positive.”

“Big Boss. Do you think this Holographic Game Helmet that Hong Dali made can really connect to extraterrestrial signals?” To be honest, the Bureau Chief still had some reservations. By right, a helmet that was developed for gaming purposes should not have been able to connect to signals from outer space.

“Remember the Sperm Theory?” The mysterious man shook his head slowly. “What we think is correct may not necessarily be correct when it’s in the universe. In this galaxy, there should be more advanced civilizations that are capable of developing something like the Galaxy Virtual Universe Internet, which radiates into the entire Galaxy. This Holographic Game Helmet will automatically access the inter-space virtual network when connected to human brain waves.”

“It seems like that.” The Bureau Chief thought carefully, then nodded. “Big Boss is still the cleverest. This is similar to our Internet. In theory, the Internet covers every corner of the world. The main factor is whether there is a computer. If you have a computer, you can access the internet by connecting the internet cable. If you don’t have a computer, you can’t. Is this what you mean?”

“Something like that.” The mysterious man nodded. “There is a huge Internet in the galaxy that covers the entire Galaxy. Once a planet has developed gear like Holographic Game Helmet that can connect directly to the brain, it will connect the human brain directly to the Galaxy Internet, and we will be discovered.”

That was a big problem.

They had been discovered by other humanoids in the galaxy and they had to work hard to improve their technological advances before these other humanoids arrived. Otherwise, they might get colonized.

However, the mysterious man suddenly smiled. “Our Dali is quite capable. Even before he goes out into the galaxy, he is already eating Dali beans that are worth ten thousand Galaxy Dollars each. Aiya, I suddenly feel that Earth is very rich!”

“Haha, the brat is always giving people surprises.” The Bureau Chief guffawed. “On Earth, he is a super-wealthy prodigal son. I didn’t expect that out in the galaxy, he is still a prodigal. I really take my hat off to him.”

The Bureau Chief was not exaggerating.

On Earth, Hong Dali had the Hong Family supporting him. He could squander however he wished, spend as much as he liked.

By right, a planet like Earth had no advantage over aliens who were able to travel between the stars. They would have about as much advantage as a beggar. However, Hong Dali met an alien and he ate Dali beans, which the aliens thought were very precious and expensive, as a snack. Not only that, there were thousands of Dali beans in that cave—equivalent to tens of millions of Galaxy Dollars. What the heck, this was preparation for squandering on an interstellar scale!

“This fellow is definitely the son of God.” The mysterious man finally concluded. “To be honest, I feel that I, the number one person in the Heavenly State, am like a beggar when compared to Hong Dali...”

“Me too.” The Bureau Chief was forlorn. “You can’t compare yourself with him, whoever does will be hurting their own pride and will definitely feel depressed...”

“Let’s stop talking about it,” said the mysterious man, decisively shifting the topic so as not to be negatively affected. “Hurry, let’s go back and get things settled. This matter must be kept secret. Let’s transport the Granzon and Adamantium first. Dali wants those. Think about it, if he makes a high-tech weapon with the Adamantium, we will be able to stand tall in front of the aliens.”

“Yeah,” the Bureau Chief agreed. “Now Earth’s life and death are in Hong Dali’s hands.” He asked again, “Oh right. Boss, should we contact the other countries? This is a trying time...”

“Not yet.” The mysterious man shook his head decisively. “Let’s not talk about whether they will believe us. Merika and the European countries have never been on the same page as us. The consequences of telling them are unpredictable. Unless Hong Dali’s technology is able to exert pressure on them to the point where they cannot lift their heads, we will not tell them yet.”

“Yes Boss, you are right.” The Bureau Chief considered. What the boss said makes sense. The other states are bound to have reservations about the validity of our story. It’s hard to say what their reaction will be if they were to be told about this now. He paused before saying, “I will return and make arrangements. Dali Dollars have to be put into circulation as soon as possible. The little brat’s squandering capital must be secured first.”

The mysterious man nodded immediately. “Make it fast.”
