Chapter 456: The Heavenly State Is Too Dangerous!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Everyone witnessing the scene stared with their mouths agape!
That... that happened so fast? What in the world just happened just now?
As the Bureau Chief stood aside, he hugged himself and laughed coldly. The people around this chap were not easy to deal with. He himself fell into a pit that was 100 meters in depth, yet not even the outermost layer of his skin was scraped. Whoever dared to challenge him probably thought that their life was long enough to risk?
After he had recovered his senses, a reporter rapidly wrote on his notebook before memorizing once more: “A physical conflict definitely cannot occur with the citizens of the Heavenly State. Otherwise, the three-time professional Karate Champion from the Japan empire will be a perfect example of the consequences.”
At this moment, Hong Dali began to feel irritated. Hence, he simply decided to walk forward. As he passed by the karate champion, Hong Dali patted his shoulder twice and said with an amiable expression, “You’re welcome to return.”
Many of the reporters couldn’t hold themselves back and failed to contain their laughter. This Hong Dali can be so aggravating when he pissed people off.
The karate champion’s facial expression turned gloomy and his head hung low as he did not dare to speak again...
It was already past nine o’clock in the morning, precisely the time the sun rose.
Upon hearing that Hong Dali wished to hold up an umbrella, the surrounding reporters quietly asked, “When Young Master Dali goes out, he even has an assigned person to hold up an umbrella for him? He certainly puts on quite a show.”
Another person said, “How would I know. Young Master Dali has always been generous in his spendings. That’s a widely known fact. The fact that he has an assigned person to hold up an umbrella for him isn’t a big deal. Actually, I’m instead curious about what his umbrella is made of. Based on his generous spendings, it should be inlaid with gold at the very least. I figure that the cost of manufacture is of 1,000 yuan at the very least!”
“A 1,000 yuan umbrella!” The reporter from before asked excitedly, “What kind of situation is that? Usually, an umbrella that costs 50 yuan is already considered pretty good, right?”
“Pfft, how can Young Master have the nerve to carry around an umbrella that costs 50 yuan?” The latter reporter curled his lips and said, “I think 1,000 Yuan per umbrella is still too little.”
“Forget about it, forget about it. Let’s just wait around.” The reporter from before said quietly, “Prepare the camera, I have already thought of the caption. A high-grade umbrella, a lackey responsible for holding it up for Young Master. It’s perfect!”
Afterward, he quickly became speechless in astonishment.
It was because, without much time, a few lackeys had come running back with a remote in each hand. The two reporters felt confused.
“Quickly, look at that! What’s that?!” There were already a few sharp-eyed people pointing towards the sky. The two reporters looked in the direction they were pointing at and saw ten extremely pretty, remote-controlled saucers suspended high in the sky.
“This is a saucer toy?” The two reporters took out their cameras and took pictures fervently. Suddenly, as they were taking pictures, they were speechless in astonishment once again. They saw the flying saucer toys quickly release mist to the air. After a short while, ten gigantic masses of mist formed and adequately blocked the rays of sunlight.
This scene caused everyone’s mouths to hang wide open and become tongue-tied. In fact, everyone did not fathom that when this legendary wastrel said he wanted an umbrella held up for him, it actually meant a scene like that—using flying saucer toys to release dry ice to block the rays of sunlight!
After all, most people were miles away from being on Hong Dali’s level of mindlessness and exaggerated manners...
Reporter John wiped the cold sweat off his forehead before pointing at the dark clouds and asking Hong Dali, “Young Master Dali, may I ask if those are...”
“Oh, those are what I especially use to provide shade and cool down—man-made dark clouds. This weather is way too warm...” Hong Dali completely lacked any awareness on the appropriateness of his actions before replying as he walked, “Actually, I originally intended for it to rain. It’s just a pity that it’s too troublesome to do so.”
Even though the sky was filled with man-made dark clouds, it was still not cool enough...
“This is a real wastrel!” The surrounding reporters exclaimed in succession. “My Heavens, he actually used man-made dark clouds to cool himself down!”
“This wastrel is so frightening—man-made dark clouds used just to provide shade to cool himself!” said John as he exhaled longly, his heart full of unhappiness and uneasiness.
Even though Merikans were naturally born with a sense of pride in the aspect of creativity, when measured against Hong Dali, he still received a rather big blow—this big wastrel’s wasteful ways were virtually all made up of an unending stream of strange and eccentric thoughts. Anyone would have to admit defeat to that!
In fact, it was indeed easy to develop an inferiority complex when staying with Hong Dali as personally affirmed by many. Yet, John did not fathom that he would experience such unbearable inferiority.
The Bureau Chief shook his head. “This chap won’t yield until he has scared people to death. But I like it, hehe!” Speaking of which, the wastrels’ ability to live in his squandering ways made the country’s locals feel dignified. This was considered the first in several ages, right?
Quickly, Hong Dali continued to walk forward. In the audience, there were only disheartened reporters left, whose heads hung low in dismay.
At last, when everyone thought the incident was over, a three-meter tall shadow suddenly appeared from behind a wall. The shadow hopped about, with each hop covering a distance of more than ten meters. Quickly, he reached the audience before stopping at Hong Dali’s side, at last, lowering his head to stare at him.
Before the audience could gather back their senses, a female’s voice could be heard coming from behind. “That scoundrel, if you run again, I will prop you up and roast you under a fire!” Following that, another shadow ran at an even faster speed—if the speed of the world’s short track champion was ten, then the speed of the shadow was at a minimum of 30. The time it took was virtually equivalent to the blink of an eye before the shadow stopped in front of Hong Dali.
After the dust settled, the audience finally realized that the gigantic shadow from before actually belonged to an extremely gigantic locust!
“Heavens!” Countless reporters breathed in a cold breath, the cameras in their hands almost dropping to the floor. “What exactly is happening?! Are we in a fairytale?!”
Some timid reporters even started screaming. They shouted loudly, “Ah!!! The Heavenly State is too dangerous! I want to go home!”
“It’s Sister Zhang Yi!” Hong Dali looked at the gigantic locust with eyes gleaming and sparks flying out. “This huge locust belongs to you?” Someone who possessed the speed of a demon would naturally be Zhang Yi—a member of the Holy Grail and a technologist who researched on the genes of living organisms.
“Oh, it’s Dali.” Once Zhang Yi saw Hong Dali, she laughed at once. “Why are you here? I don’t know what drove this beast out of its mind. It suddenly ran in this direction fervently. It didn’t scare you, right?”
“It didn’t, it didn’t!” Hong Dali asked once more, “This huge locust belongs to you?”
Seeing that it was not a big deal, the reporters begun to record in their notebooks—”An extremely gigantic locust was found in the Heavenly State. At the same, an indescribably beautiful and striking woman seeming like a lunatic appeared...”
Upon noting that down, the reporters glanced at Zhang Yi before glancing at the extremely gigantic locust, all shuddering in fear. They were unsure of what this woman who possessed extraordinary skills intended to do.
“Ah, this is my ride.” Zhang Yi grinned broadly. “It was just created. Originally, it was quite obedient and well-behaved. For some reason, it ended up being a little out of control. Now, it looks like it’s being obedient again. You can go ahead and get back to what you were doing. I will go on a ride.” After finishing her sentence, she jumped onto the back of the huge locust before pointing forward. “Grasshopper, let’s set off!”
A huge sound from the gust of wind rang out before the person and locust gradually disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Everyone fixed their eyes on a small green dot that appeared to fly further and further away amidst the sky full of dark clouds (made by Hong Dali).
All the reporters fervently wrote—”New Lanxiang Vocational School is full of undiscovered things. Ordinary people should definitely stay away and bring a guide to lead at the very least! Otherwise, one might turn into a beast’s lunch!”
“Ha!” Hong Dali looked in the direction that Zhang Yi had disappeared. “Good chap, it can even fly! Awesome!”
Contrary to Hong Dali’s enthusiasm, after a short moment of surprise, the reporters felt extremely frightened. What other scary things were awaiting them in this New Lanxiang Vocational School?
“Uncle Chief,” Hong Dali asked the Bureau Chief softly, “Is it possible that Zhang Yi works in an underground laboratory as well?”
“This girl goes wherever she wants.” The Bureau Chief helplessly said, “Anyway, I can’t manage her. So far, she hasn’t done anything out of line—at least she hasn’t endangered anyone’s life. Needless to say, I am referring to the people of the Heavenly State...”
“Alright, alright.” Hong Dali grinned broadly. I shall not bother about her first, but when an opportunity arises in the future, I would like to ride the locust as well!
At this moment, Tang Muxin stretched out her hand and secretly tugged on Hong Dali’s sleeve before speaking with a red face, “I would like one too.” Instead, Lin Chuyin said, “Mmm, perhaps we could attach armor to the exoskeleton of the locust. That would be a pretty good idea.”
In the Bureau Chief’s mind, an image immediately appeared—a big group of soldiers wearing rigid armor riding on locusts with exoskeletons covered in armor. Upon thinking of that, it was quite satisfying indeed...
It was noisy once again before quietening at last. Hong Dali snapped his fingers. “Let’s take a look at the school first. I really have yet to take a thorough look.”
Instantly, the Bureau Chief and Hong Dali walked ahead, with the reporters following behind.
This New Lanxiang Vocational School underwent intensive construction similar to the construction of an air force base. On its entirety, its construction was almost complete aside from the amenities and facilities that had yet to be installed interiorly. Following Hong Dali’s idea, the preparation of changing the voice-operated control system had made significant progress thus far.
Regarding the construction aspect, the scale was quite big since the actual area was approximately 2.6 million square meters. The school consisted of eight large teaching areas—namely Computerized Numerical Control, Culinary Arts, Automobile Maintenance, Beauty, Electrical Welding, Wireless Connection, and Computing.
Every teaching sector contained top-grade amenities such as utility areas, gymnasiums, science and technology, museums and many more, equipped with all that was necessary. It also included a central area and the world’s highest Dalaran Science and Technology building that was yet to be completed. The entire school compound had a total of three big entrances—North, South, and West. What surrounded the school was comparable to the city wall, the kind with a width that allowed four cars to line up alongside each other.
Actually, these were not considered a big deal. What was considered to be really impressive were the four cannon forts mounted atop the city wall on the entrance.
A reporter asked out of deep curiosity, “Young Master Dali, may I ask what these cannon forts are...”
“Those are electromagnetic cannons. They can be used to attack airplanes,” replied Hong Dali.
