Since the Young Master wished to inspect the land, everyone prepared to leave right away.

The land that he bought was located in an unassuming corner of the thirty-seventh district in Shenluo City.

The land was not big. It was covered in all kinds of weirdly shaped rocks as if it was a rock garden. Hong Dali touched his nose and asked, “Sister Xiaoyi, is this the place?”

“Yes.” Ling Xiaoyi introduced to Hong Dali. “Geographically, this place is quite remote. The landscape is complex and the environment is not ideal. It’s close to the slums, so it won’t be suitable to build any villas here. Not even hotels or restaurants.”

Hm, next to the slums and the landscape was complex. That only had one meaning, this place was not suitable for anything.

“Hm, since none of that is suitable, let’s change our mindset...” Hong Dali smiled and touched his chin. “We won’t earn money the living. Let’s earn the money from the dead!”

“Eh?!” Everyone was stunned to hear that!

Earn the money from the dead instead of the living? What was he up to?!

“Dali.” Tang Muxin quietly said, “Are you sure about what you said? Earn the dead’s money here? How?”

Everyone’s ears perked up. They had seen plenty of ways to earn money from the living. But to earn money from the dead...

“Aiyaya, it’s simple.” Hong Dali looked like a conman. He smiled and checked out the location. Then, he grinned and said, “Look at this. What does the tallest rock mountain in the central area look like?”

Hearing his words, everyone turned to look at it. Only an empty ridge laid in the central area. Nothing else existed.

What did it look like... nobody had a clue. They shook their heads.

“Doesn’t it look like a dragon bone? A dragon’s spine?” Hong Dali’s voice was filled with seduction. “Look at it. Look at all its distinct joints, serpentining for hundreds of meters. Look at its natural arc, the color of the rocks...”

After listening to what Hong Dali said, a normal ridge really appeared somewhat interesting!

“Hm, it does kind of look like that.” Tang Muxin nodded. “Then?”

“Dragon bone! Do you know what that means? This place has good Feng Shui!” Hong Dali wildly exaggerated. “All dragon bone lands are incredibly auspicious Feng Shui locations! Have you heard of the term ‘dragon vein’? This place has a ‘dragon vein’!”

Dragon vein! Was there anyone who came from Earth that had not heard about that?

What did dragon veins represent? The best Feng Shui locations. This would make the best location for a cemetery, right?

“Dali, you want to make this place into a public cemetery?” Tang Muxin finally understood. “Convert such a big piece of land into a public cemetery? That’s a good idea. It’s such a good place...”

“Pfft. What cemetery?” Hong Dali shook his head. “I’m a prodigal. What fun is making a small thing like a public cemetery? If we want to play, we must play big. Right?”

Erm... play big. This place can be a good location for a cemetery. But how can they play big...

Hong Dali explained, “Follow the directions of the dragon vein. Dig out a few sets of graves and tombs suitable for humans to live, with underground kitchens and bathrooms. They need to have proper ventilation, but not be exposed to any light. Establish electricity and internet connections here too!”

Tang Muxin: “...”

Li Nianwei: “...”

Ling Xiaoyi: “...”

The rest: “...”

Hong Dali continued, “Build a highway to the left of this land. Call it the Afterlife Highway! Build an airport to the right of this land, so the offspring of those buried here can come to visit! Then build a luxurious pedestrian shopping street in the middle. I’ve even thought about its name. Call it The Walk of Dead!”

Tang Muxin: “...”

Li Nianwei: “...”

Ling Xiaoyi: “...”

The rest: “...”

What’s this?!

Hong Dali continued, “The land here has to be expensive. Make it as expensive as possible! Right, how much did it cost per square meter for the first villa we bought here...”

Ling Xiaoyi hurriedly responded, “2,200 Galaxy Dollars, Young Master.”

“Hm, not bad. The graves here will start at 5,000 dollars per square meter!” Hong Dali swayed. “Don’t think it’s too expensive. See the East side? Build trees there. Hang a stereo on each tree. Play sounds of bustling streets 24/7.” Then, he pointed to the West. “Flatten the ground here. Build simple sheds and set up ramen, steamboat, and barbecue services. Hire some security guards too. If they’re free, get them to run around the land. Make it lively!”

Tang Muxin: “...”

Li Nianwei: “...”

Ling Xiaoyi: “...”

The rest: “...”

Finally, Hong Dali concluded. “It’s such a good location. We won’t accept any normal customers. They must be able to afford graves that are at least a few hundred square meters! Hm, right. If they get the full package, we can even give them a coffin for free. It can either have a flip or slide lid.”

Everyone was blown away.

Where did you learn to talk crap with such a straight face...

If they really followed Hong Dali’s instructions and dug out such an underground cemetery here, that would be amazing. This place would be more expensive to buy than normal villas!

Ling Xiaoyi suppressed her laughter and nodded seriously. “Alright, Young Master. Understood. I’ll make arrangements when we return.”

“Hm, right.” Hong Dali nodded, satisfied. “You must remember that we need to have the foresight and a generous setup. We must invest at least thirty to fifty million dollars into this!”

Hehe, thirty to fifty million, that will add up to thirty to fifty attribute points. My Health points are secured again. Haha!

As they talked, Hong Dali’s communicator suddenly rang. Once he picked up, Jiang Qianxue’s voice was heard. “Dali, where are you? Hurry over to the virtual world. The advancement assessment is about to begin!”

Eh? Advancement assessment? The one for the Honorary Aristocrats?

“It started? What does that have to do with me?” Hong Dali wondered. “Can I not go? I like the color on my set of Honorary Aristocrat clothes. I don’t want to change it.”

“Hong! Da! Li!” Jiang Qianxue was so angry that she turned pale. “You can’t be that heartless, you bastard! If you don’t come to the advancement assessments, you’ll be stripped of your Honorary Aristocrat status!”

Chey, it’s just an Honorary Aristocrat status. I can live without it...

“Then?” Hong Dali was listless. “The only thing I like about being an Honorary Aristocrat is this set of clothes...”

“That’s not important. What’s important is the rewards for the advancement assessment, you idiot!” Jiang Qianxue panicked. “There are corresponding rewards for every level. Villas. Space carriers. Bodyguards. Startup capital. It gets crazier as your level rises! You haven’t even been assigned a level. You only get one after you participate in the advancement assessments. Only then will you get your rewards! Otherwise, it’s just an empty title. You don’t get any benefits!”

Eh?! So important?!

Hearing Jiang Qianxue say that Hong Dali instantly came to his senses.

That’s right. I’ve been a Double Honorary Aristocrat for so long. I haven’t gotten any benefits apart from the set of clothes! How can that be?! As a godly prodigal, I should go and join in on the fun...

“Alright, alright. Understood.” Hong Dali hurriedly nodded. “I’ll go, ok?”

“That’s more like it. Hurry up.” Jiang Qianxue reminded. “Tianzong and I are waiting for you here in the virtual world. Oh right, Li Tianxing is here too, but I don’t know what for. Anyways, it annoys me to even look at him.”

What the heck. Li Tianxing is there too? What’s he there for? The advancement assessment has nothing to do with him, right?

“Alright. Looks like I have to take action again...” Hong Dali listlessly nodded. “Ya, I’ll be there soon. Oh right, I can bring my lackeys in, right? I won’t go if I can’t bring them!”

The ultimate secret of being a successful prodigal was that the prodigal should never do himself what he could have lackeys do for him.

“Alright, sure. I’ll arrange for it. Just come as soon as you can!” Jiang Qianxue turned off her communicator.

Aiya, this treatment is pretty cool. Jiang Qianxue will even make special arrangements for me. Seems like she’s willing to do anything to deal with Li Tianxing. Hehehehe, sorry, Brother Tianxing. Seems like I have to make you depressed again today!

“Alright, let’s go back.” Hong Dali smiled and rubbed his nose. “Tell everyone to gather around. Hm, let’s check out the advancement assessment and see what kind of monsters are there!”

Hearing his interesting speech, everyone laughed.

They never had a dull moment when following the Young Master! Advancement assessment? Hehehe, they were looking to have some fun!

Soon, everyone returned to the St. Homburg Grand Hotel. After a short while, the whole crew was assembled.

The name list for those following Hong Dali to attend the Honorary Aristocrat advancement assessment was as follows—

Hong Dali led the four beauties, Tang Muxin, Li Nianwei, Lin Chuyin, and Zhang Yi.

Ling Xiaoyi led Li Yang and the other nine lackeys.

Angel of Misfortune Lucifer, fighter muscle man Levis, Night Queen Christina, Blood Demon, Geezer Wang, and little Bai Hechou.

Hong Dali was fully satisfied with the roster. He smiled and nodded, then snapped his fingers. “Alright. Since everyone’s here, let’s go!”

In the virtual world.

“Dali, you’re finally here.” Jiang Qianxue was the first to greet them. She hurriedly said, “Everyone’s starting to gather. Let’s hurry too.”

Hong Dali looked at Jiang Qianxue, then at Yin Tianzong. He was not in a rush. Instead, he asked, “Speaking of which, why did you ask me to come here in such a rush? Did Li Tianxing cause some new trouble?”
