Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

Liu Mingxin was even more baffled by what Hong Dali said.

But he was indeed not an ordinary person. Knowing that it would be pointless to ponder on it, Liu Mingxin decided to satisfy Hong Dali’s request first. He instantly said, “OK, which server are you guys in? I will find a GM account for you. I have nothing on today anyway, I might as well accompany Young Master and play to our heart’s content.”

Hong Dali was delighted. “That’s more like it. Which server are we in again?”

“It’s the Flaming Might of the Dragon server.” Tang Muxin answered him while fighting the creeps. “Hurry up and help out, I can’t defeat this monster.”

“Flaming Might of the Dragon? OK.” Liu Mingxin instantly made a call and, at the same time, said, “Delete the account after you are done playing. If not, it will be bad for the company’s reputation if other players know about it.”

The consequences of giving out a GM account might be quite severe if others learned of it. Naturally, Hong Dali would not reject him. “OK, I’m only seeking some fun anyway. After we are done, you can take back the account. I have no use for it, anyway.”

Very quickly, Liu Mingxin got the GM account and logged in. Then, Hong Dali and his lackeys logged in too.

It was indeed a different experience being assisted by a GM. Once they logged in, they were immediately teleported to the dungeon. A character that could blind one’s eye was standing there—it was a dwarf that only wore underwear. Hong Dali was astonished. “Speaking of which, Old Liu, as a GM, you really look like a country bumpkin…”

“Hehe, it’s fine as long as it’s powerful enough. Here, take this.” Liu Mingxin sent trade request and put something on the trade interface. Hong Dali was immediately amused upon seeing it.

“[GM’s Small Underwear]: Attack Power+99999, Defense+99999, Agility+99999, Wisdom+99999, Critical Rate+100%, Dodge+100%.There was also a footnote at the end: There seems to be a weird stench on it…”

Therefore, very quickly, everyone equipped the “GM’s Small Underwear.” Hong Dali shouted, “Let’s move out!”

It was indeed a different experience having a GM on their side. Hong Dali and his group practically breezed through the dungeon, easily slaughtering anything that stood in their way. It was so easy that Hong Dali felt it wasn’t very satisfying. Therefore, the bosses in the dungeons suffered as a result of that—after they died, Hong Dali would pick the loot, and then Liu Mingxin would revive them, and then they continued killing it again. The final boss in the dungeon died 16 times in just under an hour…

This time, Hong Dali was finally satisfied. Speaking of which, how could one play a game without any sort of hack?

With the GM as their backing, they played the game in whatever ways they wished to. Hong Dali was satisfied and subconsciously said, “This is really enjoyable. Reward, 5,000!”

Thus, out of habit, the male lackey naturally put out a stack of cash, counted the amount, and directly stuffed it in Liu Mingxin’s hand. “This is a reward from our Young Master, keep it!”

Liu Mingxin: “…”

Speaking of which, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry now. Being around Hong Dali, one could hardly feel down or depressed. But he was, after all, a Young Master from an aristocratic family and had a net worth of a few hundred million. And now, he actually received a 5,000 yuan tip from another person. This feeling, he didn’t even know how to describe it…

It was just like how a playboy brought a girl to a hotel room. After they were done, the playboy was pondering on how to tell her not to contact him anymore, but the girl threw him a 1,000 yuan and said, “Your skills are not bad, this is your tip.”

This was exactly how Liu Mingxin was feeling right now…

Luckily, Hong Dali didn’t really mean to embarrass him. Although they were on opposing sides, Liu Mingxin trusted in Hong Dali’s moral quality. Therefore, he immodestly kept the money, smiled and said, “Are you happy with the game, Young Master Dali?”

“Yup, it’s not bad.” Hong Dali nodded and returned the [GM’s Small Underwear] to Liu Mingxin. Then, he logged out and directly deleted the character. “I had fun today. Let’s talk about proper business now. Speaking of which, I have something that needs your support.”

Seeing Hong Dali’s sensitivity through his action of deleting the character, Liu Mingxin praised him in his heart and said, “Tell me.”

“I was considering.” Hong Dali touched his chin and said, “This game of yours is quite balanced overall and is quite interesting to play, so why not do a competition for it—the professional kind. What do you think?”

“A professional PvP competition?” Liu Mingxin was indeed a smart person. “We hosted it before, but the results were average, so we never hosted it again. Could it be that you have some good ideas on this?”

Hong Dali wasn’t capable of other things, but he was definitely a professional in squandering. Liu Mingxin wasn’t good at this kind of activity that needed to spend a lot of money, but he trusted Hong Dali’s foresight. Therefore, he directly asked Hong Dali his plan.

“I definitely have good ideas!” Hong Dali pointed at the entire third-floor area. “Do you see this? I plan to create a professional training place for gaming. I have even found the coach, which is my sister, Zixuan. There definitely won’t be any problem!”

“Zixuan? Her?” Lin Zixuan pointed at Lin Zixuan who was still excitedly playing at the side. “This little girl!?”

“Of course! My sister Zixuan is a genius!” Hong Dali laughed.

“Are you sure this will work…” Liu Mingxin took a casual look at her playing and was soon shocked. “Is this for real? KO’ed the opponent with full health left!? I have heard of her opponent before, their skills are not low! Your sister… is she cheating!?”

“How could my sister be cheating.” Hong Dali scorned and said, “Wouldn’t you be able to tell if you just watch a while more?”

Speaking up to this point, Liu Mingxin really didn’t pay much attention to her at first. Now that he looked carefully, he was really shocked. “She’s really impressive! Her moves are flawless. I have watched a few PvP videos before, but this is the first time I saw someone linking the skills and movements so smoothly and flawlessly.” Speaking up to this point, Liu Mingxin was convinced of her skills. “Young Master Dali, what should I say? This sister Zixuan of yours, she isn’t your real sister, right? I have never heard of her before.”

“I picked her up from the roadside. How is it? Ain’t I impressive?” Hong Dali grinned. “She was running away from home when I met her. She was a small beggar at that time, the type that couldn’t even fill her stomach.”

“She ran away from home till she went hungry and still refused to return?” Liu Mingxin strangely said, “It is really rare to find such a young girl with such determination nowadays.”

“That’s for sure.” Hong Dali said, “Her family didn’t let her play games, so she ran out. But as for why she didn’t return home even when she reached that state, I didn’t really ask her about it…” As he spoke of this, he directly asked, “Zixuan, at that time, you were already going hungry, right? Why didn’t you return home? What if no one cared about you and you really died of hunger?”

“That wouldn’t make me happy.” Lin Zixuan answered matter-of-factly. “I had to pretend to be a beggar to prevent people from having ideas on me. Actually, I still had a few hundred yuan in my shoe at that time, how could I possibly die from hunger?” Then, she continued playing her game.

Hong Dali: “…”

Tang Muxin: “…”

Liu Mingxin: “…”

This little lass was definitely very brilliant for her age!

“Since this is the case, then allow me some time to consider.”

Regardless of other things, since the situation was clear now, Liu Mingxin sat on the sofa, touched his chin, and thought for half a day. But even with his intelligence, he still couldn’t fathom what Hong Dali was trying to achieve through this.

What is his motive behind this? To go into online gaming? But that doesn’t seem to be the case. To cooperate with me? With our family’s condition, there isn’t any possibility of that. He has nothing to gain through this while I will have a lot to gain. But, he doesn’t seem to be such a foolish person.

Could it be that he just purely want to squander? Or to help that Lin Zixuan rise to fame? But that’s not right too. Even though her skills and image are both excellent, the problem is that online gaming isn’t very favored in this world. There’s not much point in pushing her to fame. Then, what could he really be after?

Could it be that it really is purely for fun?

No matter how he much thought, Liu Mingxin still couldn’t understand Hong Dali’s reason for doing this. In the end, he helplessly conceded. “OK, I really can’t imagine what your motive is. But currently speaking, I seem to be the one who’s taking advantage.”

“Since Young Master Dali has ordered, I shall naturally abide.” Liu Mingxin smiled and said, “But I keep having the feeling that you aren’t the kind of person who would do something that benefits your rival, right?”

“You want to hear the truth?” Hong Dali asked.

“Of course.” Liu Mingxin replied.

“Actually, the reason is very simple.” Hong Dali answered very naturally. “I just wanted to try something new, and online gaming is something that I haven’t tried yet.”

“Just because of this?” Liu Mingxin felt even more strongly that Hong Dali’s smile seemed strangely sinister. “But why am I feeling weird all over, I keep having the feeling that your smile seems to be that of a devil that crawled out from hell.”

Hearing his interesting words, Tang Muxin couldn’t endure and laughed.

This Liu Mingxin was claimed to be the number one business genius amongst the younger generation in Tianjing City. A normal boss of a small company would shiver in fear in his presence, but no one would expect that he would say such a thing to Hong Dali. No one would believe them even if they told others about this.

“But this is really what I am thinking.” Hong Dali helplessly shrugged. “Actually, I am very pure and innocent.”
