Chapter 658: The Price of Failure!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Next was Hong Dali’s two exclusive branch skills.
Machine breakdown, assembly, and transformation, Planet-level: The host can breakdown machines worth ten billion yuan, obtain perfect-grade parts, then reassemble and transform them. The host can breakdown machines worth ten thousand Galaxy Dollars, then reassemble and transform them. Additional notes: A complete machine is required. This skill will not work on separate components.
Gem processing, embedding, and magic enhancement, Planet-level: The host can enchant and embed processed attribute gems. Current enchantment value: 15 points, Planet-level: It can process all kinds of precious jewels in the Galaxy Alliance. Can process up to: Power, Agility and Reflexes, 20 points. Energy attribute, five points.
These two options, in simple terms, were beginning to branch out. One branch was for use on Earth, and the other for the universe.
Generally speaking, it was still very powerful.
After all, he was getting ready to go out to space. It would not be suitable to continue using the same levels as on Earth to judge his squandering—especially in terms of the value of the item. After all, Heavenly State’s yuan could not be used universally.
Last was the survival branch.
As the System said, a successful prodigal should never do himself what he could have lackeys do for him. Only in that way could he be a successful prodigal.
Hurry, look at the halo system.
Strength Halo: Enhances the Strength attribute of the followers. Current level: Planet-level (Max). Halo Effect: Increases the Strength attribute of lackeys to 150%. Range: 64,000 kilometers.
Agility Halo: Enhances the Agility attribute of the followers. Current level: Planet-level (Max). Halo Effect: Increases the Agility attribute of lackeys to 150%. Range: 64,000 kilometers.
Reflexes Halo: Enhances the Reflexes attribute of the followers. Current level: Planet-level (Max). Halo Effect: Increases the Reflexes attribute of lackeys to 150%. Range: 64,000 kilometers.
Assault Halo: Enhances Hit Rate of the followers. Current level: Planet-level (Max). Range: 64,000 kilometers. Halo Effect: Hit Rate increases by 100%.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDurability Halo: Enhances the Healing ability of the followers. Current level: Planet-level (Max). Range: 64,000 kilometers. Halo Effect: Healing ability increases by 100%.
War Drum Halo: Enhances Normal Attack effect. Current level: Planet-level (Max). Range: 64,000 kilometers. Halo Effect: Normal Attack increases by 100%.
Woah, that’s amazing!
A range of sixty-four thousand kilometers! No wonder it is Planet-level (Max). The diameter of Earth is just forty kilometers. With these halos, I will be able to cover the entire Earth!
Oh, oh, oh. It seems that in the universe, this range will expand infinitely. The halo effect has already expanded to sixty-four thousand kilometers. The System said that it is Planet-level (Max), there must be other levels after it!
Sure enough, Hong Dali looked at it carefully, behind the halo was a line of small words—
“As a Planet-level prodigal, the distance from your lackeys will increase exponentially in the universe. It will be necessary to increase the range of your halo—can be upgraded!”
Nothing that came before mattered. What mattered was that from there onwards, it could be upgraded!
Next was the ability to strengthen and soften muscles.
Strengthen Muscles: Able to sustain an attack of 500 Cosmic Force. Supplementary note: To be used against sharp weapons.
Soften Muscles: Able to sustain an attack of 1000 Cosmic Force. Supplementary note: To be used against blunt weapons and push-pull type attacks.
Cosmic Force: One Cosmic Force equates to about ten kilograms.
There was nothing much to say about this ability. Basically, Hong Dali was a big punching bag—he could be shot continuously for ten minutes and still not die.
Further back was the extravagant Family and Friends which had maximum points in all attributes. Hong Dali only took a glance at it—in fact, it was not that he did not want to take a closer look, but the System was handing out tasks again...
“Main Mission One: Squander two hundred billion in two years. Mission Reward: Dark Matter Collision Machine Manufacture Blueprint. Failure Penalty: A random continent on Earth will sink.”
“Main Mission Two: Squander two hundred thousand Galaxy Dollars in two months. Mission Reward: A small unmanned planet with random materials (two thousand kilometers or less in diameter). Failure Penalty: Minus ten points from the host’s appearance attribute. (The current appearance attribute of the host is 95 points).”
Hong Dali was happy with his own attributes when looking at them a while ago, but there was no way he could be calm now!
The task on Earth was easy. After all, Hong Dali was rich, extremely rich. He just had to squander, spend some money. That was easy enough, and the time given was long enough.
But the task in the universe was another matter. Damn, he would lose appearance attribute points if he failed!
This was an age where looks were important. Hong Dali relied on his handsome, charismatic, and dashing face for a living. Losing points from his appearance attribute if he failed this task was unacceptable!
Hong Dali broke out in cold sweat. “Squander two hundred thousand Galaxy Dollars in two months! Damn, I have not even seen the aliens in real life. God, Big Brother Deca, don’t let me call you brother in vain, come quickly! If you don’t come quickly, I will become too ugly to face anyone!”
...
Here, Hong Dali was so anxious he was stamping his foot. On the other side, Merika, which had been thoroughly trashed by the biggest hurricane in history, was also very troubled.
For President McGregor especially, it was still a little overwhelming.
Hong Dali had vanquished the Gods with this one move. There was no one in the world who dared to question Hong Dali’s might. This was not a big deal, but the problem was that after the storm, the reconstruction work was a big deal...
More than a thousand villages and towns of all sizes had been completely destroyed! Where should they resettle the people? How much building materials would be needed for reconstruction works? The roads had all been destroyed, how would they transport the materials?
The most important thing was that all these required money, a lot of money, and it was also needed urgently—they could not possibly let people sleep on the streets, right? One or two days in a tent would be fine, but for a year?
“What should I do...” McGregor was extremely troubled. The only good that came out of this was probably that his position as President was safe because of the disaster. No one else would be willing to take responsibility for such a mess. Even if they wanted to impeach him, they would have to wait until the rebuilding works were completed.
“Mr. President.” Just as McGregor was feeling helpless, his assistant reminded him. “If there is really no other way, why not try to contact Young Master?”
Well, at this time, even the Secretary-General of Merika’s President called Hong Dali “Young Master”.
“It seems that this is the only way...” McGregor thought for a while. He really didn’t want to trouble Hong Dali. God knew if Hong Dali would be offended if they asked him for money...
However, he really had no other choice, so McGregor dialed Hong Dali’s number—it was not easy to get his number...
...
On the aircraft carrier, Big Fish.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHong Dali laid on Li Nianwei’s lap, sighing listlessly.
“Squander two hundred billion in two years, or the Earth loses one continent... Squander two hundred thousand Galaxy Dollars in two months, or my handsome face will become ugly...” Hong Dali was depressed. He had to think of a way to continue squandering on earth, and he had to think of a way to connect to the universe. Damn, it’s so hard to be a prodigal these days...
As he was feeling troubled, the phone suddenly rang.
“Who is it?” Hong Dali answered the phone impatiently, and asked, “I am very frustrated now. If there is nothing important, don’t bother me. The consequences will be dire!”
The godly Hong Dali was in a bad mood!
At the other end of the line, Merika’s President was temporarily stunned. In fact, he wanted to immediately hang up. But if he really hung up, he might not be able to contact Hong Dali again. All he could do was brace himself before asking, “Is this Young Master? It’s me, McGregor.”
“McGregor? I don’t know you.” Hong Dali sniffled. “Who are you?”
“I... I am the President of Merika...” In the past, McGregor would have introduced himself arrogantly. He probably did not even need to introduce himself. The other party would know who he was and what he wanted. With Hong Dali now, he did not feel as confident as before when introducing himself. This made McGregor feel very sad. action
“Oh, Mr. President.” The President of Merika probably had nothing good for him. Hong Dali was disappointed. “Is anything the matter? I don’t care about trivial things like maintaining peace on Earth...”
Was it a trivial matter to maintain peace on Earth?!
“Ah, it... it’s like this.” The President of Merika felt very small speaking to Hong Dali. “Our country is currently rebuilding, but the financial outlay is a little too big. I originally wanted to borrow from a few countries. After some consideration, I feel that Mr. Hong Dali is abler, so I decided to call you first and ask for your opinion...”
Eh, this President was really pathetic, he even had to ask for advice from others...
Asking for an opinion was nothing actually, but he had to ask humbly...
Unexpectedly, Hong Dali suddenly perked up when he heard that. “Ah, you need money? You should have said so earlier. How much do you need?”
“I need...” The President gulped. “Right now, I need about 68 billion...”
Sixty-eight billion was just enough to deal with urgent matters. After the most difficult period had passed, things would be much easier. At least they would not need to be dealt with urgently, like now.
Hong Dali did not say anything more. He immediately nodded. “Sixty-eight billion, that’s simple. Round it up to a hundred billion. Oh yeah, thank you very much. You took the initiative to come to me with such a good opportunity to squander. How can I thank you...”
That... that’s all? One hundred billion?! Rounded up?!
When McGregor made the call, he was prepared to be berated. He knew that the other party was a prodigal, but no matter how big a prodigal he was, he would not lend money to someone who had wanted to try him previously.
It turned out that Hong Dali agreed just like that with no preamble! He even rounded up the amount!
