Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Sister Nianwei’s abilities are definitely trustworthy.” Ling Xiaoyi smiled and said, “The regional finals will comnce in three days. Sister Nianwei, you must get a good result and surprise the Young Master when he’s back!”
“Definitely!” Upon ntioning Hong Dali, Li Nianwei’s eyes were filled with unlimited confidence for the first ti. “I will not disappoint the Young Master!”
“Right.” Ling Xiaoyi turned to look at Li Yang. “What about your side, Li Yang?”
Lackey Li Yang replied, “I have visited a few nearby places fit for squandering. The one I finally decided on is a casino nad izhi Casino. I feel like it will be good for one of us to pose as a hopeless gambling addict.”
A hopeless gambling addict was the closest thing to a squanderer. After all, at a place like a casino, nobody would bat an eye at how much money was lost.
“Alright, good.” Ling Xiaoyi instantly agreed and said, “I personally recomnd Heartbreaker Ferguson. He will be responsible for losing money in the future. Everyone else will act as his lackeys. Let’s act as ourselves and nobody will suspect a thing.”
“Sister Xiaoyi is a genius!” Li Yang exclaid. “Ferguson is no ordinary person, he surely will not disappoint the Young Master!”
“Asking to be a prodigal?!” Ferguson, or Lucifer, pointed at his nose. “I’m fine with earning money, but squandering? I won’t be as good as Dali. Will this really work?”
In his mind, it was simple to earn money. He could provide for his whole life’s spendings anyti with his skills. However, when it ca to squandering, he did not have the inhuman skills of Hong Dali. That was not sothing an ordinary person was capable of.
“Just don’t lose too much.” Ling Xiaoyi smiled and slapped him lightly on the shoulders. “The Young Master always hated gambling. We wouldn’t be doing this if we weren’t in such desperate tis. Just don’t gamble our entire family fortune away.”
“Alright.” Ferguson sighed. “I will try to lose less... Squandering is seriously very difficult...”
Everyone nodded in agreent.
Everyone knew how to squander simply. It was just about spending money, how difficult could it be?
However, it was unheard of for soone like Hong Dali to sohow gain more money and power the more he squandered. It was never done before, and would probably never be done again in the future. Nobody would squander more professionally than Hong Dali. Even Lucifer with an IQ of above 180 had to bow down to this feat.
After the initial plan was confird, Lucifer brought Li Yang and the rest to the casino to squander. Li Nianwei had just finished preparations for Sing! Milky Way. Everyone went their separate ways.
...
If it were simple squandering, Lucifer would still be pretty confident. However, these were special tis. He was squandering on behalf of Hong Dali. How then should he squander most effectively? How much should he squander away in one night? Honestly, even with Lucifer’s intelligence, he had no clues.
He would easily attract attention if he squandered too much. Yet, the effects on Dali would be insignificant if he squandered too little. That was not all, the most crucial thing was that he needed to squander with the style of Hong Dali.
He had just discovered that squandering was an art!
“Li Yang, where is the casino? It should be nearby and fit our stature.” Lucifer asked. “We need to pose as prodigals now. The classic Young Master and great hedonist. It wouldn’t make sense for us to walk too far. However, we shouldn’t be too close either, we won’t be able to show our statures then. Anyways... you lead the way.”
Hong Dali’s splurging ways were hard to learn. If Hong Dali was here, he would say this: “Li Yang, give the casino servers 10,000 each. Ask them to co to pick up.”
Well, squandering was a state of mind, normal people could not learn it!
“Alright.” Even though Lucifer was just temporarily squandering on behalf of Hong Dali, everything was done for the Young Master. Li Yang was indeed born to be a lackey. “If we fly East for three minutes, then turn Southeast for two minutes, there will be a huge shining golden building. That will be the casino.”
And the starship set off.
This ti everyone was purely focused on squandering. Hence, they did not have too much pressure and were able to enjoy the view below.
This region was relatively far from the Galaxy Aristocrat Lord’s Mansion, roughly a half-hour flight. Therefore, the buildings looked similar to those on Earth.
A few big hotels, fancy night clubs, pedestrian streets, various office buildings. Although they looked much more high tech, the general layout remained similar.
Soon the starship ca to a halt. Li Yang smiled and said, “Young Master Lucifer, we are here at the izhi Casino.”
Lucifer looked outside the starship window and saw a gigantic casino over 100 ters tall. The roof of the casino was made to be the landing pad for starships. Plenty of beautiful elves were at the reception. Bright neon lights lit up the whole area. There was constant traffic of socialites coupled with successful-looking n streaming in and out of the building. Lucifer thought carefully about how Hong Dali would have behaved here.
Finally, he ca to the conclusion that Hong Dali was indeed a prodigy. Although they had spent so much ti together, he had absolutely no clue how Hong Dali would behave.
“Whatever.” Lucifer shook his head helplessly. “We will never understand the genius of people like him. Let’s head down first.”
Everyone followed the elf receptionist downstairs into the casino.
Because of the starships, the casino gas only got bigger as they headed further down.
The gas on the top levels all hosted small bets of a few dollars. The mid-levels were for the hundreds. Further down, the gas would start out at tens of thousands.
“There are plenty of gambling gas here.” Lucifer scanned the surroundings. Gas of all types and varieties were available here. He had a cheeky smile. “Let us begin!”
The entire universe shared essentially the sa thods for gambling. The differences, though present, were minute.
Soon, Lucifer found a gambling ga where he had to pilot a space carrier and shoot Zergs.
This was a holographic projection. He had to exchange for chips and insert them into the machine. The holographic projection then projected the Zerg army. The player had to control the turrets on the space carrier and eliminate the Zergs. It was similar to the ga Uncharted Waters back on Hong Dali’s original world.
These ga machines were highly popular as the ga was about fighting the Zergs, who were feared widely by most humans in the universe. Hundreds of these machines were all occupied in the casino hall. There were even so machines overfilled by tens of people in a single ga.
“Let’s start with this one.” Soone ran out of points and left the machine. Lucifer sat down and said, “Go and exchange for so chips, around a hundred thousand will do.”
“Alright.” Li Yang hurriedly ran off to exchange for change as the squandering was about to start. Soon he ca back with a smile. “Young Master Lucifer, the chips are all here.”
“Alright, put ten thousand in first.” Lucifer nodded. “Let’s try it out first and test our luck.”
“Okay!” Li Yang directly inserted ten thousand chips.
Hong Dali would have been outraged if he was here.
You claim to be helping squander, yet you only put in ten thousand a ga. What the heck are you doing? Status, watch your status man!
Of course, the ten thousand dollars that Lucifer put in was no small amount to an ordinary person.
Hence, they started the ga.
At first, things went well. The ten thousand chips were gone in around ten minutes.
However, the problem soon erged. Everyone forgot what kind of person Lucifer was. He was a hacker technological geek with an IQ of over 180. He only had one rule when he played gas, that he must feel good. If he did not feel good, nobody should.
At this mont, he only had ten thousand chips left. He beca extrely irritated.
Hence, he perford a little sleight of hand on the final ten thousand chips. As a hacker technological geek, it was natural for him to bring a few high tech gadgets. After all, he was not simply wasting his ti at the Galaxy Alliance Center.
The fun then began...
Lucifer managed to hit so Zergs on every single one of his shots. It did not matter whether the Zergs were ordinary or high-level, whether they were worth a dollar or a hundred. After he spent his magazine fully, his chip count jumped straight from ten thousand to over five hundred sixty thousand chips.
...
Hong Dali was depressed watching his Health Points decrease one by one. Suddenly, an extra Health Point popped up! Hong Dali instantly broke into a wide smile. “Hahaha, good, good, it seems like my lackeys are beginning to squander!”
Before he could finish his celebrations, there was another “Bam!” sound. Hong Dali broke down as he took another look...
“Oh my god!” Hong Dali yelled. “I told you to squander, not to earn money! What the heck are you doing? Who the heck is this? You are not helping squander, but helping make money instead. Are you trying to kill ?”
After such a long ti, he still had ninety-six Health Points, with the addition just now, there were ninety-seven. In the end, he suddenly lost five together in an instant. He was left with only ninety-two points now!
Damn!
Things did not end yet. After a few more minutes, the number dropped again. It went down to eighty-seven!
Damn!
...
Over at the casino’s side.
Lucifer and the group were doing fine at first. However, people soon discovered how strange Lucifer was behaving.
A few one-shot one-kills could be explained by luck. However, an entire sequence where no shots were missed, which resulted in a screen full of Zerg corpses and shiny flying chips, was simply unbelievable.
Soon, the casino security guards ca over. “Sir, can you please stop for a while?”
“Oh, fine.” Lucifer stood up instantly. He had to give the security guards so respect. “What is it?”
