After Hong Dali had said this, Ko Gohon’s face took on a very ghastly expression.
Those were the Toyoda Emperor Grade and Toyoda Prime Minister Grade limousines. And you want to transform them into taxis? And scrape the Toyoda car logo? This was really humiliating!
Initially, Hong Dali really couldn’t be bothered to fight with Ko Gohon over those things. To him, focusing on squandering to complete the System’s mission was the way to go. Happily playing around every day without a care in the world, that was his definition of living his life.
But this Ko Gohon just had to eagerly come over, put his face near him and say “Quickly smack my face, if you don’t I’ll feel uncomfortable all over”. What the heck. Actually, Hong Dali couldn’t be bothered to do anything about this type of thing. He was scared of dirtying his hands. But Ko Gohon just had to continue provoking him. He couldn’t bear this. Since you’re so sincere about it, then I might as well just smack you...
Now that these few Prime Minister Grade and Emperor Grade limousines would be transformed into taxis by Hong Dali, then wouldn’t it mean that as long as one could afford a starting price of 5 yuan, he or she would be able to get onto the Prime Minister and Emperor?
Damn you, what do you treat our Jaban Empire’s Prime Minister and Emperor as?
Once they thought up till here, Tang Muxin, Ling Xiaoyi and rest were about to burst their stomachs from laughing. This Hong Dali really had so many ideas, he’s too sly—but I like it!
This was called digging his own grave. He wouldn’t die if he didn’t seek his own death. This time, Ko Gohon had really embarrassed himself greatly.
“Hong Dali, you will pay for what you have done!” Ko Gohon stared deadly at Hong Dali’s face and furiously grit his teeth, looking as if he were in disbelief. With his status and background, he’d actually been smacked on the face and humiliated by a mere squandering young master of the Hong Family in front of everyone. This change in the storyline made him feel that this was too unrealistic.
This Hong Dali had actually dared to provoke him. He’d actually really dared to do so!
“Ah, yes!” Hong Dali shamelessly admitted. “I’m doing things this way, you can come and bite me!”
Now, it wasn’t important whether or not he bit Hong Dali. What was important was that Ko Gohon had to think of a way to get back those ten Toyoda limousines!
The fight between the two could be put aside for now. The problem was that he, Ko Gohon, couldn’t lose face!
Coming to teach the Number One Rookie King of the Year of the Hong Family a lesson, yet he’d failed and instead suffered a counterattack. How could someone as egoistic, almost to the point of narcissism, as Ko Gohon accept this?
Moreover, their Toyoda Conglomerate would definitely not let Hong Dali really use these ten most premium limousines as taxis, especially when the car logo would be scraped off!
By now, the bodyguards behind Ko Gohon were already filled with indignation and stepped forward one by one. Once Ko Gohon gave his command, they would go forward and start a group fight.
But after Ko Gohon thought for a while, he instead suddenly changed his expression.
This time, he was rather cordial. “I have to say, Hong Dali, you are really quite daring. You actually really dare to fight with me like that. From this point, I salute you. But...” Ko Gohon suddenly sniggered. “Things haven’t come to an end yet. I have a suggestion here which I believe you will be interested in.”
“Oh?” Hong Dali listlessly said, “I’ve just won a few cheap cars of yours, why do you have so much to say? Can we still play happily? Hurry up and say whatever suggestion that you’ve got. My time is very precious.”
Rascal, can your time be as precious as mine?!
The muscles on Ko Gohon’s face twitched a bit, and then he tried his best to maintain his most friendly smile. “I still have two programs coming up. Why don’t we start another bet, how’s that?”
“We’re betting again?” Hong Dali was going crazy. “You’re not only a retard, but you’re also a gambler! Can you change the way of doing things? Are those few cheap taxis worth it for you to do so much?!”
What the heck, if not for the taxis, I wouldn’t do that! It’s exactly because you’re going to make them taxis that I have to think of a way to win them back, you brat! Could I possibly let you spend five yuan and just get onto the Prime Minister and Emperor Grade limousines as you like?!
Ko Gohon was almost angered to death by Hong Dali. But now, Hong Dali had already turned the tables around and won those few Toyoda limousines. Ko Gohon really had to be cautious about it. “Of course, I want to bet. I’ll bet on these ten Toyoda limousines of yours. If I win, you have to return them to me. So, before the results of our bet are out, you cannot scrape off their logos! And if I win, you can bring up whatever conditions you want. As long as it within a 15 million range, I’ll agree to all of them. How’s that?”
“What the heck, can you be more dependable? Can you be more dependable?!” Hong Dali was was hopping mad. “Have I agreed to it? Have I agreed to it? You can’t wage a one-sided bet, you know? You’re violating human rights, do you know?”
“Hong Dali, don’t be anxious first. Let me finish what I have to say.” Ko Gohon cautiously said, “The last time, you created the Hatsune Tianyi combination from Hatsune Miku and Luo Tianyi. I admit that it has a very strong ability. Since I’ve lost, I naturally can’t go back on my word. But you can’t just run away after winning once, right? You have to give me a chance to turn the tables around, right?”
“Oh? What you said does seem to make a little sense.” Hong Dali scratched his head. “Alright then, I’ll give you a chance. Tell me again how you intend to carry out this bet, and what are the rules.”
Upon seeing that Hong Dali was less insistent, Ko Gohon hurriedly said, “This time, the rules are very simple. I’ve prepared two programs, ‘Star Plan’ and ‘Big Stars of the Nation.’ The ‘Star Plan’ is scheduled to be broadcasted on Sundays from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM. ‘Big Stars of the Nation’ is scheduled to be broadcasted from Mondays to Fridays, from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM. You can also produce two programs yourself, and we’ll choose a TV station each and place the broadcasting timings together. By then, we’ll see whose program has a higher viewership rating, how’s that? If mine is higher after adding the two programs up, I’ll win. If yours is higher, you win.”
“Is that so.” Hong Dali touched his chin and thought carefully. “It’s quite fair. But the problem is, I don’t have any programs now...”
It’s a problem to not have any programs?! That’s definitely the best thing!
Ko Gohon almost laughed to death in his heart, but he didn’t dare to have any gleeful expressions on his face. He smiled and said, “Is that so. It’s fine, those two programs of mine still need about ten more days of preparation time. You can start preparations as soon as possible. The type of program is not restricted. Of course, since it’s a bet, I can’t take advantage of you either. If I lose, It’ll be counted as 20 million USD. How’s that?”
Right now, he was akin to asking for Hong Dali’s favor. Thus, how would he dare to be so arrogant and cold as before? If one hadn’t seen the entire process of what had happened here, he or she wouldn’t agree that he was the same person as that previous one.
“So-so.” Hong Dali pursed his lips and agreed reluctantly. “My rushed preparations over here can be said as giving you a chance to turn the tables around, in case you say that my Heavenly State knows no manners.”
After he said that, Hong Dali felt that there was nothing much left to say. He directly stretched his hand out. “There’s nothing else, right? If there isn’t, give me the car keys and I’ll go back first...”
“Then, I won’t keep you here any longer.” Ko Gohon placed his hands at his back and ordered the bodyguard to hand over the car keys. “Give him the car keys.” He acted as if he was very calm and cool, but his pair of hands hidden at his back were squeezed till his fingers became white.
Damn it, I’ll take it that you were lucky before. This time, I’ll make you vomit out everything you won from me!
Humph, humph, you’ve made a Hatsune Tianyi combination at the concert, a holographic projection virtual character. I admit that it’s attractive, but you can’t possibly use this trick for the television program, right?!
“Ah, other things aside,” After getting his lackey to keep the ten car keys, Hong Dali grinned. “You still have credibility. Then I’ll go first, um, you don’t have to send me off, heh heh.” After saying that, Hong Dali turned around and brought his men out of the entrance of Imperial Hotel.
After Hong Dali had left.
“Idiot! Idiot!” Ko Gohon turned around and started slapping his group of bodyguards one by one, slapping front and back until the few bodyguards’ faces were all red, then he stopped.
Of course, physics tells us that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. Thus, after Ko Gohon had slapped his bodyguards, the faces of the bodyguards were fully red, and his hand also became red...
But that didn’t alleviate his anger at all. Ko Gohon started to kick things, kicking whatever he saw until all the more fragile things in the entire main lobby were kicked to bits and pieces, then he was satisfied.
“Come here!” After kicking everything, Ko Gohon furiously sat on the sofa and shouted, “Advertise my two programs, advertise them to the max! I want all the people in Heavenly State to know about my two programs! I have to win back the cars that I’d lost no matter what, do you hear me?!”
“Yes!” The bodyguard was soaked with sweat, and his face and ears were entirely red as he respectfully said, “I understand!” It was extremely accurate to say that his face and ears were entirely red. Both his face and ears had indeed been smacked till they went completely red...
...
After exiting from the Imperial Hotel building, Hong Dali beamed with delight as he looked at the ten brand new Toyoda limousines. “Aiya, I was still troubled about whether to wreck these few cars. Now that I look at them, they look quite pleasing to the eyes. Hehe, Prime Minister Grade limousine, Emperor Grade limousine...” As Hong Dali spoke, he took out two coins from his pocket. “Can I get into it?”
Ling Xiaoyi, Wang Mingyu, and the few lackeys nodded in unison. “You can! You can get on it whenever you want to!”
Tang Muxin grinned and added. “Five yuan, you won’t suffer a loss by spending the money, and you won’t get cheated as well. Only five yuan, and you can get onto the Emperor Grade limousine!”
The group roared with laughter. Hong Dali snapped his finger. “Then, let’s go and try out how the performance level of these few limousines are, haha!”
After the group joked and laughed and sat in the car, Tang Muxin touched and looked at the interior of the car, then nodded and said, “To speak the truth, Dali, these few taxis are really high-class...” This lass had learned about this as well...
“Still fine, at least it’s worth this starting price.” Hong Dali grinned. “In the future, these Emperor Grade and Prime Minister Grade limousines will be the icons of the taxis in our sci-fi town!”
“Yes, this idea is good!” Tang Muxin praised, then thought for a while and suddenly asked, “But Dali, how do we fight against him for the next round of the bet? Have you thought about the program? ‘iPartment’ can be counted as one, but it still lacks one more!”
