Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

Since they were already here, just depending on verbal description wasn’t enough. Hong Dali pointed towards the direction where the entrance to the sci-fi town was and said, “Since we are here, then let’s go take a look. Uncle Chief, we don’t lack the time for this, right?”

“Yup, indeed, we can spare the time.” The Bureau Chief nodded and replied, “Then, let’s go take a look.”

Hong Dali and group walked through the entrance to the sci-fi town.

Currently, the sci-fi town was busy with the construction. The foundations were all laid down, and the workers were already constructing the buildings now. Hong Dali pointed at a piece of large scale construction and asked, “What is that?”

“That’s going to become a shopping center.” The Bureau Chief explained. “The investment for that is 10 million. It’s considered mid-sized, we didn’t go for a large-scale one.”

“Oh…” Hong Dali ohed and looked left and right at the land. “This piece of land is quite large, the scale is quite big.”

“It’s average.” The Bureau Chief nodded. “Compared to the other constructions in the sci-fi town, this is only on an average scale.”

“How can average do.” Hong Dali decisively expressed his dissatisfaction. “Tear it down!”

The Bureau Chief stared in bewilderment. “Tear it down!? It’s already built so high now, and you want to tear it apart just like that? Also, that’s a cost of 10 million yuan, that’s already enough for it. There isn’t a need to make one that’s too good!”

“This is already enough? Isn’t this too little…” Hong Dali twitched his lips. “It’s a waste to build just a 10 million scale shopping center on such a big piece of land. Tear it down. Let me think, it should be just nice for a 50 million scale shopping center…”

A 50 million scale shopping center, are you planning to fit everything that exists in the world into the shopping center?

“You little rascal!” The Bureau Chief almost went crazy. “Do you have any notion what a 50 million scale shopping center will be like? That’s just the construction cost! It’s not inclusive of the cost of the land and the equipment and items for sale! That’s 50 million, how high will the shopping center be!?”

It’s just 50 million, that’s only five attribute points. That’s not a lot…

Hong Dali mumbled, “I’m still thinking that this isn’t really enough now. I want to build the largest shopping center in the entire world! The largest! Except for aviation carriers, I want to sell everything that’s purchasable in there!”

This kid is really planning to do something unimaginable!

“Are you seriously going to build the largest shopping center?” The Bureau Chief face-palmed. “The level of investment, manpower, and resources needed are no joke. 50 million worth of construction cost is enough to build a 50-level high skyscraper!”

“Yup, it’s decided! This is the kind of effect I want!” Hong Dali decided without another word, then pointed at another building. “What is that?”

“A movie theater.” The Bureau Chief was listless now. “It occupies a land of 70,000 square meters. It’s divided into fifty screening rooms. This is already the highest specification in the Nation now, there isn’t a need to tear this one down too, right?”

He was really afraid now, afraid that this rascal Hong Dali would want to tear it down without any hesitation.

“Oh, this one’s still not bad, there isn’t a need to tear it down.” Then, another word came out from his mouth. “Change!”

Tang Muxin sighed. She wouldn’t have let him come here if she knew this would happen… Now, a lot of money would be flowing out…

“What the heck!” The always insipid Bureau Chief directly swore. “What’s there to change? Is a 70,000 square meters movie theater still not enough? Do you still want to change it? Change into what!?”

“The largest movie theater in the world, one that is of the highest standard!” Hong Dali’s eyes were shining off light.

“Just one screening room will do! Only just one! I want to to use Holographic Projection for it. I want the whole movie theater to be equipped with Holographic Projection technology! I want the audiences to watch the movie as if they are inside it! Oh right, the seats need to be awesome too—they must be able to shake! The stereo sound system must be very sharp and explosive as if they are really happening in reality! Just like reality!”

“Little rascal…” The Bureau Chief stared in bewilderment. “What are you trying to do? Just one screening room, how is that enough to play the movies?”

“Of course it’s enough, it will only play the movies that I like. Hehe, it will play whichever one that I want to see, how will it not be enough?” Hong Dali grinned. “Once my ‘Holy Warriors of the Goddess’ comes out, I will play it here. That scene will definitely be very stunning!”

The Bureau Chief carefully pondered over Hong Dali’s words. You don’t say, if only Holographic Projection movies were played here, that would really be a special characteristic of this theater—only one such place in the world, no others! It would definitely be quite popular.

“All right, then let’s change this too.” In the end, the Bureau Chief could only agree.

As they were discussing, they had already walked further on. In front of them was a big plaza with many cars parked on it. Hong Dali was instantly amused upon seeing them. “Oh my, isn’t this the Toyoda Prime Minister Grade limousines? Let me take a look. Yup, there’s 200 plus of them. Looks like that fool Ko Gohon really kept his word. But why are these cars all parked here?”

“This is the taxi company that you talked about.” The Bureau Chief snappily said, “That’s 240 Toyoda Prime Minister Grade limousines, and now they are taxis because of you…”

“Oh…” Hong Dali touched his chin and looked at the hardworking workers working on the construction sites. Then, he suddenly said, “Don’t let the cars just lying around here. Put them to use. Use these cars to send the workers back home after work or something. If not, we can use them for transporting bricks too.”

Upon hearing Hong Dali’s words, Tang Muxin couldn’t resist anymore and burst out laughing.

These were Toyoda Prime Minister Grade limousines, each worth a million yuan and more. But now, they were going to be used for sending workers to and from work or even used to transport bricks. It was really amazing that Hong Dali could even think of something like this!

“Little rascal, are you trying to provoke a war between us and Jaban!?” The Bureau Chief jumped on his feet. “You shouldn’t humiliate them like that!”

“They can’t do anything to me even if I do that, right?” Hong Dali twitched his lips in disdain. “I shall just slap them if they are not happy with it. It’s not like it’s the first time anyway…”

“You are really vicious!” The Bureau Chief gritted his teeth. “Then let’s do this!”

“Hehe, you are really awesome, Uncle Chief!” Hong Dali beamed with delight. “I promise I will do my best to squander from now on and not let the Nation down!” This was probably the first time that someone linked squandering to not letting the Nation down in such a weird and straightforward way. It was something that only Hong Dali could do…

Then, they continued walking. As they walked, the Bureau Chief pointed and said, “Currently, this area is mainly focusing on constructing government buildings and all kinds of housing estates. Government buildings are a must to have. The housing estates are mainly gathered in the southwest area. The aim is for the people living here to have a shorter traveling time to Tianjing City. Other than those mentioned previously, that’s about it. The only thing left is the school. As for the rest, they are still in the planning stage and need you to make the final call.”

“This is good!” Hong Dali was very pleased with how the Bureau Chief showed him respect. “I like this one!”

Very quickly, they came to a large temporary house. A guy wearing a construction hat was pointing at the blueprints and talking to his men. Upon seeing the Bureau Chief bringing Hong Dali and his group over, he hurriedly walked up and greeted them. “Bureau Chief. Young Master Dali.”

The Bureau Chief hurriedly introduced him to Hong Dali. “This is our Nation’s Chief engineer, Su Jian.”

“Hello, Engineer Su.” Hong Dali beamed with delight and greeted him. Then, he looked at the lackey beside him and said, “Reward, 10 pieces!”

The lackey instantly took out 10 golden bricks from his pocket and stuffed them into Su Jian’s hands, smiled, and said, “This is from the Young Master, please keep them properly.”

Ten golden bricks as tips! Engineer Su stared in bewilderment while the Bureau Chief face-palmed. “This little rascal…”

The Bureau Chief was already mentally prepared for this, but Su Jian was not. Holding the 10 gold bricks in his hands, he asked in shock, “Bureau Chief, this… Can I actually keep them? I wouldn’t be charged for bribery and corruption for this, would I… These gold bricks seem to weight at least a 100 gram each!”

“Since it’s from this little rascal, just keep it.” The Bureau Chief concluded. “You just have to get used to it…”

“Then… Alright…” To be honest, Su Jian felt quite pleased inside—anyone who could keep so many gold bricks in front of the Bureau Chief without any worries would felt the same way too…

Being the biggest prodigal in history, Hong Dali didn’t feel any special and just asked, “Engineer Su, how is the progress for the construction work currently? Is there a planning map that I can see? This place is too big, I only saw a few places just now. That’s not enough at all!”

“Hehe, yes, of course, there is.” Having kept the one-kilogram gold bricks reward from Hong Dali, naturally, he would tell Hong Dali whatever he wanted to know. Su Jian didn’t show any arrogance at being an engineer and brought them inside a small conference room, while 300 plainclothes guards stood outside. He then took out the planning map and said, “Currently, there are still many large empty spaces here. According to our plan, we will build hotels, car parks, office buildings, sports centers, and such necessary buildings. However, Young Master Dali always do things on a large scale. We were afraid that if we built them too small, Young Master Dali would be unsatisfied, so we didn’t start work yet.”

“Hm…” Hong Dali touched his chin and looked at the planning map.

This map was quite professionally drawn. On it were several large and small boxes with labels of the buildings intended and their styles and appearances.

However, obviously, Hong Dali was not very satisfied with the planning. “This isn’t awesome enough, not enough at all!”

“This is still not awesome enough!” The Bureau Chief said in shock. “Little rascal, you need to control yourself!”

“I will take note to control myself.” Then, his next words showed his true colors. “First, build a seven-star hotel—its name shall be Dali Hotel! I want the grandest and fabulous hotel in the whole world. Its nickname shall be The Star of Tianjing! Magnificent and luxurious shall be its description—it must be very big and grand!”

Su Jian hurriedly noted it down. “Seven-star hotel, the grandest in the world.”

“Little rascal!” The Bureau Chief was going crazy. “If your hotel is that grand, who is going to stay in it! A seven-star hotel! Even five-star hotels don’t have a lot of customers nowadays!”

“I don’t care about that.” Hong Dali sniffled. “I’m only in charge of providing ideas to squander.” He even took out the Hong Dali Seal and waved it in front of the Bureau Chief. “As for whether you are willing or not, that isn’t my concern…”

Squandering for the sake of the rise of Heavenly State, Hong Dali seal!
