Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

On the Silver-blue super-planet, Shenluo City, still inside that private clubhouse.

“Hello. We are willing to accept your offer of twelve million dollars.” The bodyguard contacted the leader of the publicity team. He hurriedly asked, “When can you start work?”

“Ah, dear sir.” The leader of the publicity team smiled and said, “Your work has been taken over by someone else. He paid fifteen million Galaxy Dollars with the only request that Miss Heloise’s support rate must exceed that of Miss Nianwei. We have begun preparations for this project. Currently, we are gathering the necessary help.”

“Oh? Really?” The bodyguard was stunned. “How can that be? Then, can you tell me, this person is…”

“I’m truly sorry.” The publicity team leader shook his head. “According to the rules, all client information must remain strictly confidential. Please forgive me.”

“Alright.” The bodyguard nodded his head and said, “I will report this to Miss Heloise straight away.

He stood up and left. Soon, Heloise’s laughter filled the entire Wales mansion. “Hahahahaha! Unexpected, unexpected. Someone is so generous and paid for me! If I ever find out who paid for me, maybe, I just might agree to any of his requests. Hahahaha!”

The bodyguard at the side was soaked in sweat. Agree to any of his requests? That sounded a little… hmm.”

…

In a bar near the Thunder Battle Arena.

Lucifer casually drank some dark beer and fiddled with the holographic projection computer in front of him. He did not forget to flirt with the girls nearby either. “Hey pretty lady, care to join me for a drink?”

The beautiful girl looked Lucifer up and down before she turned away and left.

Lucifer was actually quite handsome. However, the problem was that he did not look rich. In this world, one had to either possess incredible power or squander like crazy to hit on pretty girls. Sadly, the two attributes appeared unrelated to Lucifer.

In terms of strength, he was not even a warrior. In terms of richness, Lucifer could not achieve the aura of a nouveau riche. Furthermore, his advantage in looks was diminished due to the large number of races here.

“Looks like it’s pretty difficult to hit on girls here.” Lucifer helplessly shrugged. However, he was not angry.

Because he was here to focus on serious matters, hitting on girls was only a side distraction.

“Sister Nianwei did well in the Sing! Milky Way competition. However, the opponents are quite willing to spend. Hmm, Sister Xiaoyi is even spending on behalf of them.” Lucifer touched his chin. “I can’t just sit around and wait for the results. Hehe, I have to help with increasing the popularity.”

Thinking up to this point, he contacted a shadow who appeared on his screen. “Hey man, can you do me a favor?”

…

At the same time, inside the Thunder Battle Arena.

It was a middle-aged man dressed in some peculiar high noble clothing. His looks were average. However, he did wear a strange pair of red glasses. A Galaxy Aristocrat wearing a white coat sat next to him!

To have a Galaxy Aristocrat in his company, and from the looks of it, the Galaxy Aristocrat was acting very submissive and humbly, this man was…

“Dear Sir Malone,” the Galaxy Aristocrat carefully asked, “the competition is about to end. Where would you like to stay tonight? I will be making the necessary arrangements in advance.”

“You decide.” The man named Malone hummed. “As long as the standards are high enough. Speaking of which, your efficiency really sucks. Have you still not found the guy who broke through the thirtieth level of the Tower of Trials? I have been staying here for so many days. It’s getting boring.”

This man came for the mysterious man. He even made a Galaxy Aristocrat so submissive. He was a Dimu Star Sector High Noble!

Someone leaps and bounds above the levels of a Galaxy Aristocrat!

“I’m truly sorry.” The Galaxy Aristocrat helplessly said, “This man is hidden too well. No matter how hard we looked, we couldn’t find him.”

“Useless.” High Noble Malone disdainfully said, “You can’t even do something so trivial. Useless.”

“Yes, yes, yes, you see…” The Galaxy Aristocrat dared not get angry when called useless. In the universe, the suppression between different levels was too severe! He could control everything in the Milky Way. However, at the higher level of the Dimu Star Sector, he was merely a landlord from the rural lands.

“Let’s go.” Malone hummed and stood up. Suddenly, his glasses beeped. He exclaimed in confusion. “Fate Points, -565?!”

Before he could finish the sentence, his glasses jumped and the numbers changed again. Malone was even more surprised this time. “Fate Points changed to +565?! What’s going on?! Are my glasses malfunctioning?”

…

Inside the Wales Family Manor.

“Hahahahaha!” Heloise laughed madly as she looked at the data from the Internet. “Li Nianwei, I told you that you would not be my rival! You can’t defeat me, you can’t defeat me!”

She laughed madly for twenty minutes straight, until she almost developed hypoxia. Only then did she stop to calculate. “At the current pace, I will attain a minimum support of fifty million people by the cut-off time for voting. One point is credited for the support of every hundred thousand people. Fifty million equates to more than 500 points! In addition to the four buzzers being lit-up, I will have more than 6500 points! Those numbers will guarantee a first place for me!”

According to the Sing! Milky Way rules and regulations, during the Main City-level finals, one point will be credited for the support of every hundred thousand people. The decimals behind would be included as well.

The highest initial increase in support rate would end after the first day passed. The speed of increase would gradually slow down. With the help of the publicity team that was hired, Heloise was extremely confident now. By the cut-off time on the sixth day, she would attain, minimally, 500 points. Altogether, she would reach over 6500 points. That would be an extremely high result.

Ever since the start of Sing! Milky Way, the highest ever result in a finals was only 6650 points. That meant all the buzzers were lit-up and the candidate received the support from sixty-five million people.

After the conclusion of the Main City-level finals would be the regional selections. A hundred main cities formed a region. Each region could only select fifty people. In the later stages of the competition, support rate would be calculated in the unit of millions. In other words, the support of every one million people would be converted into one point!

“How much, hurry and check, how much is it now?!” Heloise was excited. “I need to be better than her! I definitely need to be better than her!”

“Dear Miss Heloise.” The AI butler’s voice sounded. “Your current support rate index is 36,215,412. Miss Li Nianwei’s support rate is 35,126,543. The current difference between the two indexes is 1,088,869.”

“Still not enough!” Heloise smacked her thighs. “Continue to pull away!”

…

The support rate for both sides began a new round of online battles. This time it was even more severe.

By the start of the third day, the two sides’ support rate was totally neck-and-neck. There was a good saying fit for this situation. “Either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind.”

Perhaps Heloise would have the highest support rate at 8 AM. Soon, Li Nianwei would overtake her by 10 AM. By 2 PM Heloise could have the higher support rate, yet it would soon return in favor of Li Nianwei.

The publicity team had been extremely busy. They had never seen such a terrifying opponent in all their years of working as a team.

Their clients did spend over fifteen million on this along with five million by Heloise herself. That was a full twenty million invested now. Still, by the morning of the sixth day, the numbers from both sides were still in a dead heat!

By then, Heloise’s support rate had reached a terrifying 55,124,652, while Li Nianwei’s support rate was 54,898,513!

Only a difference of three hundred thousand! This difference could be erased easily. Of course, it was possible that Heloise’s support rate continued to be in the lead as well.

Everything became uncertain!

At this moment, Hong Dali, our superprodigal, to everyone’s hope had finally gotten out of jail… Ah no, had finally returned to freedom!
