Chapter 419: Hong Dali, You, Are Indeed Vicious!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xiao Dao, Big Fei, Second Mao Zi, Third Pang Zi, Fourth De Zi, these five names were very amusing to hear.

But when these four walked out from the crowd, Tang Muxin and the rest didn’t think so...

Big Fei 1 was a plump guy, a plump guy who didn’t look like he could possibly fly no matter what. Judging from his height, he should be around 1.9 meters, and his weight was at least 120 kilograms. His skin was white and soft, and that huge beer belly—his legs definitely couldn’t be seen from the top.

Second Mao Zi 1 didn’t have a single hair, and not only was he bald, but his brows also didn’t have any hair. His height was around 1.8 meters, his skin was dark and tanned, and just by standing there, he emitted a menacing atmosphere throughout—the type of aura which didn’t allow people to get close to him.

Third Pang Zi was called Pang Zi 1, and in fact... he was a fat guy... But it was different from Big Fei. Third Pang Zi was very even in his fatness. His height was 1.9 meters, his chest was fat, and his cup size would probably be 36D. His arms were fat, and it was completely different from the size of Tang Muxin’s thighs. His thighs were fat, probably thicker than Hong Dali’s waist size.

Fourth De Zi was the most ordinary one. He was shorter, about 1.72 meters in height. There wasn’t anything special, just that he appeared rather frivolous. He had a sneaky look, and his eyes would lit up at everything he saw. Xiao Dao specially explained on his behalf. “Fourth De Zi is like that since young. He’s not a bad person. Actually, the main reason he’s here is quite sad. This lad saw five yuan on the ground one day. As he was planning to pick it up, alas, his luck ran out. Just as he bent down to pick the money, a second-generation young master brought his girlfriend and walked past him. That girl insisted that he sexually harassed her, and coupled with Fourth De Zi’s appearance... In the end, that second-generation young master had two of his ribs broken by him, and Fourth De Zi came here for the long haul...”

Alright, this should be a real-life version of a tragedy that happened because of five yuan...

Hong Dali and the rest collapsed laughing, and Fourth De Zi scratched his head in embarrassment. “Young Master, I do look more frivolous. But don’t reject me, you can’t judge heroes based on looks!”

“It’s fine, it’s fine.” Hong Dali was extremely satisfied with these five people. “It’s the five of you then. In the future, you’ll be my basketball team members. Give me some aura!”

Big Fei was somewhat skeptical. After all, Hong Dali was very famous. Thus, he cautiously said, “Young Master, me and these few brothers are not worth much. It’s fine regardless of what you do with us. But this professional basketball competition... I’m afraid my skills can’t make it and I’ll embarrass Young Master...”

That’s indeed a problem. Though I’m a prodigal, and it doesn’t matter whether I win or lose, but I can’t lose too badly...

Hong Dali thought for a while, then directly said, “That’s simple. If you do well, your yearly salary will be 2 million, if you don’t do well... then come back here and stay for the rest of your sentence!”

Coming back here?!

Everyone turned and looked at the surroundings, then they nodded in unison. “We guarantee we’ll do our best!”

“Alright, then that’s settled.” Hong Dali stood up and looked at the other convicts who were staring at him, as he smiled and said, “Everyone, there’s no need to be anxious. I have quite a lot of corporations under me. Everyone, do your best to turn over a new leaf, and after you get out, directly go and find Xiao Dao. I’ll make arrangements so that there will be jobs for everyone, though it might not be a yearly salary of one million. But at least there won’t be a problem for you to fill your stomachs and live comfortably. And if you do well, you can still marry a wife!”

Reform properly, and after you get out, you’ll be able to marry a wife!

The group of convicts instantly got on their knees and looked at Hong Dali as if they were looking at God.

“Alright, I’ll leave first. Everyone, do your best!” Hong Dali promptly brought Xiao Dao and the other four and left.

Cao Jianrong was responsible for compiling the information of all the five people. Hong Dali was very satisfied after taking a look at it. These five had all been involved in fights, but they were only being more violent. Anyway, they didn’t have anybody to take care of, and they’d stayed here for quite a few years. Thus, they were just getting out of prison one or two months earlier. After Hong Dali had chosen them, Cao Jianrong let out a sigh of relief. He needn’t even report to his superiors regarding these five and would only need to apply for a reduction of their jail sentence due to their sincerity in reforming.

“Brother Xiao Dao, I don’t know anything about basketball, you can just make the arrangements yourself. But don’t stress yourself too much, it’s fine as long as you don’t lose too badly to the other party—like a score of 100-20 or something.” On the way back, Hong Dali instructed.

“Young Master, we’ll definitely do our best!” Being able to get out from prison earlier, and even earn a yearly salary of 2 million, what else did Xiao Dao have left to say? “In the future, our lives belong to Young Master. We guarantee that we’ll not make Young Master lose face!”

Just then, Tang Muxin who sat by a side looked at the time and whispered, “Dali, let’s leave the basketball aspect to them. What are you planning to do for our next step of the online gaming aspect?”

“Simple.” Hong Dali sniffled. “Tomorrow, get Old Liu to accept an interview. We’ll do whatever Spiritual Sword has done previously. Hehe. Anger them to death!”

Tang Muxin: “...”

Speaking of which, if Hong Dali angered someone, he’d definitely anger the other party to death—But I like it!

...

“Mr. Shi, bad news!” Qian Youjin ran in flusteredly. “Tomorrow at 8 am, Dream Dota League will carry out an online live broadcast as well! Same... Same as the program we previously did!”

“What?!” The bedridden Shiroishi Kazuma helplessly said, “This Hong Dali is really...”

“Mr. Shi, by then, we... we...” Qian Youjin cautiously asked, “Do we still watch it?”

“Watch.” Shiroishi Kazuma was listless, and his voice was so soft that it almost couldn’t be heard. “Then tell me about it...”

“OK, Mr. Shi. Then I’ll go out first.”

...

At the same time, in the various Spiritual Sword clans.

“Latest news, latest news. Tomorrow at 8 am, there will be a Meng Dao Ta 1 online broadcast, introducing ***... What the heck, it’s introducing Meng Dao Ta. As long as the players watch it online, they’ll be able to get a ticket to upgrade their level!”

“Really? So awesome? Then I must go and take a look! A ticket to upgrade levels, how many levels can I upgrade?”

“I heard that you can upgrade by two levels. I’m already at level 24 over there, and with this ticket, I’ll be able to go up to level 26! Or else, why would this game be popular, it’s indeed more fun than Spiritual Sword!” action

“OK, I’ll go and take a look too. If it’s fun, I’ll not play Spiritual Sword anymore. There are fewer and fewer people playing it these days!”

...

The next day, in the morning, Dream Dota League and Play Together official webpages published an announcement at the same time—”Dream Dota, the start of a dream!”

From 7 am or onwards, players started entering this link, and the number of IP visits increased steadily, from the initial 300,000 to 600,000 very soon. And in the meantime, it’d attracted many spectators to watch the fun. At 8 am or so, the number of concurrent players had already exceeded 1.2 million!

Play Together’s host: “Hello everyone, I’m the host of Play Together, Zhang Yu. Today, we will be carrying out a live interview jointly held by our Play Together and Dream Dota League. I believe that quite a number of players have already recognized this handsome guy beside me. The exclusive agent for Dream Dota, Mr. Liu Mingxin. Of course, Mr. Liu also has another identity, which is Guan Guqi in the currently extremely popular ‘iPartment.’”

Liu Mingxin smiled as he sat on the sofa, smiling handsomely as he nodded at the camera. “Hello everyone, I’m Liu Mingxin.”

Countless of excited young girls obsessed with him instantly screamed loudly.

Play Together’s host: “Mr. Liu, you need to film dramas and operate Dream Dota at the same time, are you very busy? I heard that you don’t have a girlfriend, may I know whether that’s true?”

Liu Mingxin: “It’s fine. Currently, I can still handle it. At the moment, I have fewer scenes in ‘iPartment.’ After Dream Dota is more stable, my number of scenes will be increased.”

Play Together’s host: “All of us know that at the start, Dream Dota’s popularity was lower than Spiritual Sword’s. But even since that spectacular holographic projection battle had been posted on the internet, the situation has undergone a drastic twist. We’d always believed in the saying that Dali creates miracles, may I know what are Mr. Liu’s opinions on it?”

Liu Mingxin: “Currently, I completely believe in this saying. Young Master Dali is an extremely amazing person, so amazing that I don’t know whether he’s even a human. I just feel that he’s like the reinforcement sent by the monkeys...”

Play Together’s host: “Looks like Young Master Liu is very humorous as well. Then, can you tell us about Dream Dota’s current popularity? Um, because there’s only one server, at the moment we don’t know exactly how many online users there are.”

Liu Mingxin: “I have the specific statistics here regarding exactly how high our Dream Dota’s popularity is now. According to current statistics, the highest number of online users our game recorded is 2.6 million! A full 2.6 million users fighting in the game at the same time.”

Play Together’s host: “2.6 million!”

Liu Mingxin: “Yes. Perhaps this number is still not clear enough. Then now, I can compare it with another statistic.”

Play Together’s host: “OK, Mr. Liu, please go on.”

Liu Mingxin: “The previously most popular Spiritual Sword had 1.8 million concurrent users at its peak. And now, their number of online users are only... 200,000.”

Play Together’s host: “Aiya, the gap is so wide? Looks like this Spiritual Sword is really lacking compared to Dream Dota. From the number of online users, it’s already sufficient to tell the gap in quality between the two games, right?”

Liu Mingxin: “Yes, these are the aspects of the popularity based on the number of online users. And in other aspects, we are far in the lead as well. In your Play Together forum, the number of posts of our Dream Dota players is now 25 times that of Spiritual Sword, and the number of people at our Tieba forum is also around twice of theirs. These are sufficient to prove how outstanding Dream Dota is!”

Many of these words were said by Spiritual Sword’s Director Huang back then during the online broadcast.

Now, Liu Mingxin returned them practically the same words.

...

In front of the computer screen, Shiroishi Kazuma’s face turned yellow, then he vomited blood again!

“PU—!!! Hong Dali, you, are indeed vicious!”
