Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

Chapter 484: Flip a Card

Actually, Hong Dali only installed the Running Dog System into the garments for fun. Therefore, the password he set wasn’t very difficult, it was only the phrase which he really liked—Dali Creates Miracles.

The problem was, knowing the password was one matter and saying it out was another.

For example, the mysterious man was the leader of all the people in Heavenly State. He couldn’t be expected to shout “Dali Creates Miracles” whenever he wanted to use the garment, right? If that happened, the whole world would probably know of it very quickly. How was he supposed to face the world, then?

The mysterious man hesitated while the Bureau Chief wanted to laugh, but he didn’t dare to and had a hard time keeping his laughter in.

The important thing was that the experiment still had to be done in the end, they had to have at least a rough impression of this armor, right?

The Bureau Chief desperately tried not to laugh and softly said, “Boss, there isn’t anyone else here, so just shout it. That’s really the password, I heard Tang Muxin shouting it just now…”

“O… OK…” The mysterious man’s face went red and finally shouted, “Dali Creates Miracles!”

Once he said that, Running Dog Number Two instantly replied, “Password is correct. Please select the available weapon.”

Hong Dali was able to view the statistics for the weapon system directly, but the mysterious man couldn’t do that. Therefore, he could only look at the names of the weapons. “Combat weapon, precision-guided missiles, high-pressure electric pulse light beam, photon bullets?”

There were four types of weapons, and he could roughly tell what they were from their names. The mysterious man started with the first one. “Combat weapon!”

With a “Chi” sound, once he gave the order, two extremely long, narrow, and sharp arm swords extended from both of his shoulders. The two-arm swords were about a meter long each, reflecting off a cold light.

Of course, it was impossible to tell its effects by just looking at it.

The Bureau Chief hurriedly brought another steel knife over. Before he came, he had already guessed that Hong Dali would definitely do some modifications to the Mechanical Holy Garments. Therefore, he had prepared a few different types of weapons to test the modified weapons strength.

“Use this and try it out.” The mysterious man nodded and followed his instructions. The two-arm swords changed direction and pointed forwards. Then, they sliced down towards the steel knife.

As if cutting through cheese with a hot knife, the mysterious man didn’t even felt anything and the arm sword had sliced through the steel knife.

Ding dong…

The broken part of the steel knife dropped onto the floor, giving off a crisp clear sound, the cut area smooth as a mirror. As for the arm swords, they didn’t even have a scratch on them!

“This… This…” The mysterious man and the Bureau Chief were both astonished. This thing was too fearsome, wasn’t it?

That was the sharpest steel knife in the world, yet it was easily sliced through when their cutting edge collided!?

“The power of this knife is too frightening, isn’t it?” The Bureau Chief’s eyeballs almost popped out. “Just a soft motion like that and this happened?”

“Let me try again!” This time, the mysterious man walked towards a big rock and waved the arm sword at it. Then, the big rock was cut into several small pieces like tofu…

“Strong! This is really strong!” The mysterious man was really astonished. “This Hong Dali is really…”

Now, he really knew how precious Hong Dali was to Heavenly State. Even if Hong Dali went overboard aside from squandering, as long as it didn’t exceed his bottom line, he would definitely let Hong Dali do as he wished and spoil him! Every Heavenly State citizen had to let him do as he wished too! That’s for sure!

“Then, Boss, do you still want to carry on testing?” The Bureau Chief softly asked, “The other weapons…”

“No!” The mysterious man decisively shook his head and said, “Just the cold weapon is already like this, I’m afraid that we will cause too much of a commotion if we test the other weapons; that wouldn’t be a good thing. Let’s go back first and send this Mechanical Holy Garment to the underground base in New Lanxiang to do a thorough analysis of it. If we can mass produce it… The cost doesn’t matter, no matter how high it is!”

“Alright!”

…

The mysterious man and the Bureau Chief went back to research on all of the functions of the Mechanical Holy Garment and whether it could be mass-produced.

At the same time, the world was in an uproar because of Hong Dali’s Mechanical Holy Garment!

“I am Mechanical Man, I speak for myself!”

Once Hong Dali’s words were released on the Internet, the entire world was in an uproar. News about the Mechanical Man spread like a virus throughout the entire Internet!

Shanghai, Tianhai City, So Cool Information and Culture Development Private Limited headquarters, So Cool Building twelfth floor, small meeting room.

“Young Master has come up with something new again, this time it’s something really crazy!” In the meeting room, the seven high executives of So Cool were all gathered here. Director Wu Youdao excitedly slapped the table and loudly said, “Mechanical Man! A real Mechanical Man! Did you guys see that armor? It’s so cool! Too cool!”

After he said this, a few of the others who knew about this all excitedly said, “Director Wu, shall we use all of our resources to publicize on it this time?”

“Not only that, but we must also increase the publicity for it!” Wu Youdao was so excited that his face turned red. His hands were red too from slapping the table. “Publicize it on the entire website! The Mechanical Man! A symbol of the advancement of men’s technology! Think about it, how powerful is this news? Not only should we publicize it in our country, but we must also publicize it outside of the country!”

Then, Chief Editor Zheng coughed and asked, “Director Wu, must we publicize it overseas?”

“Yes!” Wu Youdao really lived up to his name and said, “We shall build a server overseas and advertise on it as well! We shall enter the foreign market! Hahaha! Did you see the weapon on the Young Master’s armor? That power, what the heck, it’s totally awesome! Publicize, we must publicize on it! After that, we shall make a page especially for the Young Master and upload all of the stuff related to him there with English subtitles. I want the highest degree of publicizing for this!”

After he finished, the others all gave wolf-like roars. “Yes, publicize! With Young Master’s might, we can expand our market overseas! Let the foreigners come to our website to see the videos related to the Young Master!”

“Yes, we definitely should do that! We must follow closely behind the steps of the Young Master!”

Their morale was high! Everyone was excited!

Mechanical Man, a powerful Mechanical Man! Although they only saw part of the Mechanical Man’s prowess, just from what they knew now, they could tell that Hong Dali’s Mechanical Holy Garment was really powerful!

“Oh right, there’s something else that I need to tell you guys.” Wu Youdao cleared his throat and slowly said, “Sometime later, I will be going to the tallest building in the city, Central Jinghao Building, for a conference meeting. Those attending are all the big bosses of the various big companies in the Nation. I will try to communicate with the Hong Family—if we can work deeply hand-in-hand with them, that will be perfect.”

Central Jinghao Building, that was where Door to Heaven was!

Being the director of the largest video-sharing website in the country, Wu Youdao naturally had the qualification to join the Resource Chamber of Commerce.

“It will be good if we can cooperate with the Hong Family. I definitely support this!”

“That’s right, if we can work deeply with them hand-in-hand, our company’s performance will definitely be boosted by a lot!”

“That’s for sure!”

“Then, it’s decided. Everyone, hurry and go prepare now!” Director Wu instantly made the final decision.

…

Chenhui Building, fourth floor, Photon Force Laboratory.

Numerous reporters were squeezing together outside of the entrance, waiting for Hong Dali’s summon.

“I wonder who will be lucky enough to have his card flipped by the Young Master!”

“Exactly. Sigh, I never expected that it’d be so hard to interview him. Normally, if we want to interview someone, the person will be grateful and thank us instead. Yet, when it comes to the Young Master…”

“I have never seen someone behave so arrogantly before, this is really the sun coming out from the west. There’s actually someone who’s not interested in being interviewed!”

“Stop pretending to be so cold and lofty, didn’t you told them what company you were from too?”

“Ah, that, today’s weather is really not bad…”

These reporters were all discussing and chatting, waiting for Hong Dali to summon them.

In the past, all of them were very high and lofty. If the target was a big-shot celebrity, it was impossible for these reporters to be so crazily eager to interview them. But now, this happened in front of everyone’s eyes.

And from the looks of it, it was very difficult to obtain the chance to interview Hong Dali. It was said that luck was needed…

While the people outside were so nervous that their body was full of cold sweat, inside the Photon Force Laboratory…

“Running Dog, bring me a chocolate-flavored ice-cream.” Lying on the sofa, Hong Dali wore the Mechanical Holy Garment with his head exposed, rocking here and there. Beside him was placed high-quality snacks and drinks. He threw a Dali Bean into his mouth, chewed for a while, and gave off a sigh. “There are so many people wanting to interview me, this is really troubling. Can’t they go do some proper business? There are so many celebrities and big-shots for them to interview, why must they come to trouble me? This is really… Unprofessional!”

The lackey beside him spit out his tongue.* They are reporters, OK? Interviewing famous people is a proper business to them, isn’t it? Aren’t you aware that you are also an internationally well-known big-shot, too!?*

Of course, although he thought that in his heart, he definitely couldn’t say that out loud…

“Young Master, your ice-cream.” The mechanical arm, Running Dog, took the ice-cream from the fridge and passed it to Hong Dali. “Please enjoy.”

“Yup, eating ice-creams helps to cool me down in this weather…” Hong Dali mumbled as he ate the ice-cream. He only felt slightly satisfied after having eaten most of the ice-cream. He sniffled and asked, “Have all the reporters come?”

“Young Master, all of them are here.” Ling Xiaoyi held back her laughter and looked at the plate in her hand. “At least one reporter from every news company is here. Young Master… which card do you want to flip?”

She felt like laughing when mentioning this. This Young Master could really pull off a spoof, he actually requested the reporters to give him their cards and then see which card he flipped open to decide who could interview him…

“Hm, let me see…” Hong Dali casually picked one of the cards. “Zhang Songting?” Then, he asked Ling Xiaoyi, “Male?”

“Male.” Ling Xiaoyi answered.

“Oh, then let’s change to another one.” Hong Dali directly threw the card away. “I actually flipped a guy’s card, that’s really unlucky!”
