Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

Damn! You said he’s someone that is capable of great things. This is what you meant!?

Tang Muxin: “…” Li Nianwei: “…” Fang Han: “…” The others: “…”

“Hong… Da… Li!” Tang Muxin was so angry her hands were trembling. “I promise I won’t kill you!!”

Hong Dali smiled matter-of-factly. “I’m originally a super prodigal. It’s not the first time I’ve heard someone say that. Hehe.”

Luo Qiang: “…”

This new boss is a little cocky!

While everyone was having fun, lackey Li Yang suddenly reminded. “Someone else is here!”

There was more business!

Everyone quickly became silent. At this moment, a teenager about fifteen or sixteen years old stood outside the door and looked up at the sign. Then, he looked at the people in the shop and hesitated a little. He took a deep breath and slowly walked in. “Excuse me, can I pawn things?”

Usually, when someone came to a shop, it was to sell or buy something. But when Hong Dali and the others saw the boy, they looked at each other and said at the same time, “Such a coincidence?”

It turned out they had seen this young man before!

When they were in the virtual world, the black iron piece, which was the Noah Metal that Tang Long was talking about, was bought by this young man!

“Such a coincident?” The young man looked curiously as Hong Dali and the others. “Have we met?”

“Oh, oh. No.” Hong Dali grinned. “Didn’t we just meet now?”

“Oh.” The young man ignored the others. He looked down and asked, “Do you take in armors here?”

“This…” It was strange. They had just opened for business and someone wanted to pawn their armor? In the past, such a thing only happened once in a few months. Luo Qiang looked at Hong Dali and quickly nodded. “Yes!”

“Finally one that takes it.” The young man sighed a long breath. He took out a shiny silver metal armor from his bag and asked, “Will you take this in?”

“This…” Luo Qiang looked carefully and exclaimed, “Bright Silver Armor? With attribute gems!”

“Indeed.” The young man nodded lightly. “The attribute gems add +7 to Strength. Give me a price.”

“Bright Silver Armor? What is that?” Hong Dali asked Fang Han softly. “Big Brother Fang Han, this armor is worth a lot?”

“It really is considered very good equipment.” Fang Han nodded and whispered. “Bright silver is the best material for armors, with the ability to recover damage. One kilogram of bright silver alloy costs 1,200 Galaxy Dollars. This armor should be more than two kilograms, plus the attribute gems that add +7 to Strength, it should be worth more than 10,000 Galaxy Dollars.”

“Oh, in that case…” Hong Dali smiled. “This is interesting.”

Luo Qiang looked at the armor carefully and estimated its weight by picking it up. He nodded and said, “This is real, but the price… I can only offer you five thousand Galaxy Dollars.”

“Five thousand?” The young man closed his eyes and thought for a while. Then, he shook his head. “It’s too low.”

“Cut the price by half at first contact,” Luo Qiang laughed as he said. “This is how we work.”

“Six thousand.” The young man named his price. “If you agree, I’ll pawn this and never redeem it.”

Saying that it was equivalent to Hong Dali earning three to four thousand Galaxy Dollars instantly. It was a considerable income—after all, Galaxy Dollars were valuable. Luo Qiang’s monthly salary was just two thousand.

“This price…” Luo Qiang shook his head. He was just thinking this price was a little high. But Hong Dali instantly said, “Fifteen thousand, if you agree we’ll take it!”

“Aye?” Hearing that, the young man was dumbfounded. When he came to, he asked, doubtful, “This is…”

“I’m the boss of this pawn shop. Brand new.” Hong Dali chuckled and said, “Fifteen thousand for this armor. How is it? If you agree we’ll take care of the paperwork immediately!”

Hearing that, the young man was a little stunned.

He had met lots of black-hearted businessmen, especially in places like pawn shops. They would cut the prices by half. He would count himself lucky if he could pawn it for five thousand. But he was in luck today. He was offered 1.5 times the price. Was there really such a good person? Too much money and nowhere to spend?

Of course, no matter what, the young man had to verify it. He looked at Luo Qiang. “This…”

“This is my new boss.” Luo Qiang despondently said, “If he says fifteen thousand, fifteen thousand it shall be…”

Did he really get lucky today? The young man was in disbelief. No matter what, since the boss had spoken, and he was in urgent need of money, there was no need to consider further. “Let’s settle the paperwork.”

“Alright. Sir, please come with me.” Luo Qiang brought the young man and the armor to the office desk to finalize the deal.

The armor was handed in, money was taken. The young man prepared to leave. “I’ll come again.”

“I’ll die of anger!” Tang Muxin had tears rolling down her cheeks. “My world view has shattered into pieces!”

“Today, this…” Fang Han did not know how to react. “Why does it seem odd?”

Hong Dali stood there laughing. “Haha… haha… My idea is perfect!” Squander Value: 80,000! *Wahahahaha! I’m another step closer to 200,000! *

He closed the System interface. At the same time, Luo Qiang and the young man walked over. Luo Qiang handed the Bright Silver Armor and receipt to Hong Dali. “Boss, the paperwork is done. He sold the Bright Silver Armor directly.”

“En, en. Okay.” After he kept the armor, Hong Dali looked at the receipt. The words “Gu Yan” were signed at the bottom.

Aye? That’s not a bad name!

“Haha, Little Brother Gu Yan, I’m Hong Dali.” Hong Dali beamed with delight. “You should be younger than me, right? I can finally call someone younger brother, hehe.”

“Uh…” Gu Yan was stunned for a while. He touched his nose. “I think so…”

“That, brother,” Hong Dali put his arm around Gu Yan’s shoulders and laughed. “You pawned this Bright Silver Armor, you are in need of money? Is there something fun? Tell me about it?”

Originally, Gu Yan was short of six thousand. He had to pawn the Bright Silver Armor for that price by all means. In the end, this strange pawn shop gave him fifteen thousand for the armor. As a result, Gu Yan’s mood was quite good. He nodded and said, “Yes. Mainly because I need to make something and am short of money for the material. That’s why I pawned this Bright Silver Armor that I discovered previously. Big Brother, you gave me such a good price for my armor…”

“Easy, easy. Others call me Benevolent Officer Hong—” Hong Dali giggled as he asked, “Speaking of which, what are you intending to make?”

“I can’t say.” Gu Yan smiled as he shook his head. “But I intend to join an auction. Big Brother Hong Dali, you can join me if you’re interested.”

Auction? I love auctions! Such a good chance to squander!

Hong Dali nodded enthusiastically. “Yes, yes! When will it be held? Is it a big-scale auction?”

“If I’m not wrong, it should be the Sauron Auction Center that is held once a month?” At this moment, Fang Han walked over and smiled. “If it is, we indeed had the intention to go. I have some things up for auction.” Fang Han had prepared to auction the martial arts secret manual that Hong Dali gave him previously.

“Yes, this is it.” The young man nodded and said, “I’ll go off first, I’ll see you next time.”

“Yes, yes.” Hong Dali waved to him. “Come often, I’ll give you a good price!”

“Definitely.”

…

When Gu Yan left, everyone took a deep breath. They were completely speechless.

“Dali ah, this…” Tang Muxin asked softly, “Can you tell me, what exactly is on your mind? No matter how I look at it, no one does business like that.”

“Ah? Hehe,” Hong Dali grinned and said. “I just want to squander, need you ask?”

Tang Muxin: “…” Fang Han: “…” Luo Qiang: “…”

“Forget it, let’s go back and sleep…” Tang Muxin said listlessly. “We won’t understand the logic of a god-like person…”

…

On Gu Yan’s side, when he left the pawn shop, a little person appeared in holographic projection on the watch that Gu Yan was wearing. The person looked like an old man in his sixties. He smiled and said, “Little baby, your luck is quite good. You bought a piece of Noah Metal at 3,000 Galaxy Dollars not long ago. Today, you managed to pawn a Bright Silver Armor that was originally worth five or six thousand for fifteen thousand. With this money, we have more budget for our project.”

“En, not bad.” Gu Yan smiled. “I don’t know what the pawn shop boss is thinking. He increased the price on his own. This is the first time I’ve encountered something like that.”

“This boss is quite interesting.” The old man thought for a while and smiled. “This is the first time I’ve seen someone squander like that. It seems we can come back next time if we have anything good.”

“Do you think he will continue to give us a good price?” Gu Yan asked curiously. “Such situations usually only happen once or twice, right?”

“A prodigal’s mind is different from the others.” The old man grinned. “Possibly, he just wants to squander. What are you afraid of? As long as I’m around, you won’t make a loss. At most, we won’t pawn things. He wouldn’t do anything to you.”

“That’s true.” Hearing that, Gu Yan nodded. “With this money, we can make the growth potion. Old guy, are you sure the potion can let me breakthrough the Fifth Order Apprentice and become a First Order Planet level?”

“Of course.” The old man sounded certain. “Don’t doubt my ability. My last master was a Potion Master. I have inherited most of his recipes. It’s no problem. When you become First Order Planet level, and train at the Shenluo Warrior Dojo, you should have good results when you take part in the trial held by the Galaxy Aristocracy.”

“The trial, which level do you think I’ll be able to achieve?” Gu Yan asked.

“There is a total of one hundred levels. I think you might be able to make it to level twenty.”

“Only twenty…” Gu Yan mumbled. Then, a determined look appeared in his eyes. “Okay, I will work hard to achieve level twenty-one!”

“Good kid, you have aspirations!”
