Chapter 1044 - Bloodshed Resulted from a Cup of Ice-Cream

Although Shenglong Star was the base of the Shenglong Royal Family, slightly more normal people were naturally needed at places like this to tend to the stalls. Therefore, the distant relatives of the royal families were the best option. As for those really normal people who didn’t have connections to the royal family at all, it was impossible for them to even come to this planet, that was for sure.

“I want that one.” Hong Dali pointed at a chocolate-colored one and directly asked, “How much is one?”

“Two Shenglong Dollars.” See that? At different places, even the standard of living was different. Such a cup of ice-cream already cost 20,000 Galaxy Dollars, the level of things here were really high.

“Oh, 100 per cup, give me…” Hong Dali started counting. “One, two, three…” Himself, Tang Muxin, Li Nianwei, Hua Xiangyu, nine lackeys, a total of 13 people. “13 cups. Xiaoyi, give him a round number of 2,000.”

Hua Xiangyu: “…” Was he serious!? Paying 100 dollars for a cup of ice-cream worth two dollars!? Then round up 13 cups to 2,000 dollars!? Even if he wanted to squander, he should have a limit in his actions, that rascal!

“Okay, Young Master.” Xiaoyi had already cooperated with Hong Dali for so long, she was already very used to it. “Aren’t you going for those two?”

“Ah, them? Their identities are too prestigious, how can they eat such low-grade stuff.” Hong Dali grinned and looked at Bei Yuanqing and Zhu Ningyu. This fellow even purposely stuck out his tongue and licked the ice-cream. “Isn’t that so, handsome and pretty?”

Tang Muxin clasped her mouth tightly, Li Nianwei directly turned around her body, and as for Hua Xiangyu, she was completely speechless.

Looks like no matter who offended this fellow, they would definitely be teased by him no matter what!

Speaking of which, Bei Yuanqing and Zhu Ningyu were indeed very depressed now. A cup of ice-cream worth two dollars wasn’t worth anything in itself, it was fine even if Hong Dali didn’t buy for them. Such prestigious people like them wouldn’t possibly eat such stuff, anyway. But if he didn’t buy for them, the rest of them would all have a cup of ice-cream each and only the two of them would be empty-handed and watching them eat. That didn’t seem very suitable.

Why did this Hong Dali make it so perplexing for them? Yet, they couldn’t be angry either. Didn’t Hong Dali already said that this thing was too low-grade for them…

Low-grade your head! Bei Yuanqing clenched his teeth and said, “Give me two cups too, I want the 10-dollar type.” Saying so, he took out two 10 dollar coins from his pocket and tossed them to the owner. He even gave Hong Dali a cocky expression: See this? You eat the two-dollar ones, but I am eating the 10-dollar ones. I am better than you!

Yet, after he paid the money, he realized that the atmosphere wasn’t right.

Everyone looked at him with pitiful eyes. The women were all holding in their laughter, while the men were looking at him with funny expressions. Something seems amiss, what situation is this?

Zhu Ningyu didn’t understand at first too, but she quickly came around and fiercely stepped on Bei Yuanqing’s foot, then angrily scolded. “Idiot!”

Feeling the pain on his foot, Bei Yuanqing finally understood—although Hong Dali was eating the two dollars one, he paid 100 dollars for it. Thus, Bei Yuanqing was instantly depressed and hurriedly took out two 100-dollar notes from his pocket. “Tips for you.”

Yet, after he gave the money, the atmosphere became even eerier—everyone was looking at him as if he was a moron. Even Hua Xiangyu couldn’t help it, covered her mouth, and laughed, her shoulders shaking.

Intelligence quotient, he was being defeated in terms of his intelligence quotient!

“Stupid!” Zhu Ningyu’s face was green from anger. “Although he counted it as 100 per cup, he gave a total of 2,000 in the end!”

Bei Yuanqing instantly opened his mouth wide.

What the heck! I forgot about this again!

Hong Dali and the rest all laughed. As expected, whoever dared to laugh at Hong Dali would definitely have their face slapped till they died. Yet, this fellow didn’t actively humiliate people, but each and every motion of his had the essence of humiliating people in it!

Of course, no matter what it was now, the money had been spent and the face had already been slapped. He couldn’t admit defeat at this point, right?

“400, don’t need to change me.” Bei Yuanqing depressing took out another two 100-dollar notes and gave it to the shop owner. “This is enough, right?” Honestly speaking, he was really quite depressed, having to spend 400 for nothing. Strictly speaking, it was 420 dollars to buy two cups of 10-dollar ice-creams. Actually, with the Bei Family’s wealth, this money was nothing to him, but the most crucial thing was that he looked like a moron even after spending the money.

Actually, things should have ended at this point. It was just buying ice-cream, after all, it had already created quite a huge scene.

But obviously, being a talent at adding to someone’s pain, Hong Dali naturally wouldn’t just let it end here. He licked the ice-cream and looked at Bei Yuanqing and Zhu Ningyu, then humphed and said, “Spending 420 for two cups of ice-cream, you are really a moron.”

Bei Yuanqing was instantly furious and said, “Wasn’t you the one who forced me! Why didn’t you mention that you spent 2,000 to buy 13 cups of ice-cream!?”

“Didn’t I say it already?” Hong Dali stared his eyes wide, his face full of innocence. “I am here to squander in the first place! But now, it looks like you squander even more than me. Oh my, you are really more impressive than I am!”

Bei Yuanqing completely broke down.

“Very good, you have got guts!” Bei Yuanqing almost felt like vomiting blood now. This was the Shenglong Star. If there wasn’t a logical reason, they weren’t allowed to fight here. Therefore, even though he was a level two Star Sector-level, against this Hong Dali who didn’t even have a level, he actually had a feeling of nowhere to exert his strength.

Wait, he doesn’t even have a level? This Hong Dali doesn’t have a level? At least, he doesn’t have a medal that represents his level. Bei Yuanqing continued to lead the way and laughed, then said, “Speaking of which, Hong Dali, what level are you now? Star Sector-level? Stellar-level? Don’t tell me you are only Planet-level?”

Hearing him say this, Zhu Ningyu’s ears pricked up too.

“Me? I don’t have any level.” Hong Dali didn’t mind at all and said, “I am just an ordinary person, I don’t know anything other than squandering.”

An ordinary person? This Hong Dali was actually an ordinary person? This shouldn’t be possible. Even if he was an ordinary person at first, once he got connected to the royal family, he should at least be a Stellar-level in the blink of an eye—the royal family didn’t have a lot of other stuff, but they definitely had a lot of attribute elixirs. Even if he never trained and purely used elixirs, the royal family should also be able to boost him to the Stellar-level, right?

But even so, this Hong Dali actually said that he was a normal person?

Thinking up to this point, Bei Yuanqing instantly took out the same type of glasses that Hua Xiangyu used just now and looked towards Hong Dali. Then, he was instantly dazed. “It’s really true. Strength, Agility, and Reflexes are all 100. Speaking of which, your attributes are really weak, hahahaha!”

This fellow finally found a sense of superiority. Hehe, this Hong Dali was only good with his mouth, but his power was too weak, so weak that it was unimaginable.

Hong Dali was so weak, if Bei Yuanqing didn’t bully him, it would really be a waste. However, a Star Sector-level bullying a normal person was too shameful. Even after the attribute compression force field on the planet, Bei Yuanqing still had about 330 stats for all of his attributes. But against Hong Dali, he was still too much stronger.

Speaking up to this point, there was a need to mention this attribute compression force field.

The attribute compression force field was akin to the system in the Tower of Trials, but this one was of higher-level and limited a person depending on his original attributes.

For a normal person, it would be 100 stats for all attributes. For Planet-level, each level would be a 100 stats increase, but after the compression, they would only have one to five stats increase. Meaning that for a First Order Planet Warrior, his 200 stats would become 105 at maximum. At First Order Planet Warrior, it had a huge leap, from 500 to 2000. So, after compression, it would be 150 maximum. During Stellar-level, normally each level increased 500 stats. After compression, it would be 10 stats per level. A maxed Stellar-level’s stats were from 5,000 to 10,000, and after compression, it would be 250 per stats at maximum.

At the Star Sector-level, the jump in stats was higher, each level would increase the stats by 3,000. That would be 50 stats after compression. This Bei Yuanqing was a Second-order Star Sector-level, his base stats were 15,000 or so, after compression, it would be around 330 stats for each attribute.

330 stats versus 100 stats, this was really too much of a bully. If he didn’t find a better excuse, it wouldn’t be suitable for him to fight Hong Dali. After all, the Hong Family wasn’t a friendly family to talk to. Instead, if it was just small fights between the younger generation, it wouldn’t be too much of a big deal…

Just as he was thinking up to this point, Bei Yuanqing suddenly saw something good in the near distance. He was instantly delighted and a plan quickly formed in his mind. He laughed loudly and said, “Oh my, Dali, if we just walk on like this, it will be quite boring. Why don’t we bet on something.”

Gamble? It looks like this fellow hasn’t learned his lesson yet.

Hong Dali licked his ice-cream and asked, “Ah, bet on what?”

Hua Xiangyu and the rest all pricked their ears. Since Bei Yuanqing actively proposed this, he definitely was up to no good. At the same time, Hua Xiangyu secretly decided that if this Bei Yuanqing went too overboard, she shall stand up for Hong Dali. After all, she was the one who brought him here, and she was also part of the Hong Family. It wouldn’t be appropriate for her to stand by and just watch.

“Do you see that punching detection machine over there?” Bei Yuanqing pointed at a machine not far away and said, “That’s a good thing, it can test your strength amplitude. It’s very accurate. The percentage of strength that you can achieve now will be the same as after leaving the attribute compression force field. We use this frequently. Why don’t you try it too?”

The punching detection device was indeed something all of them usually played with.

But these machines were slightly different here. Their main purpose was to calculate the percentage of strength one was able to use, not the power of a punch.

For example, after compression, the stats were 300 each, and the strength amplitude was 7.5 times after the punch. Then, after leaving the attribute compression force field, that punch would also have a strength amplitude of 7.5 times, no more and no less.

After all, once they reached the Star Sector-level, their attributes were all over 10,000 stats. It was impossible to find machines capable of testing the strength amplitude for such power.

“Oh, sure.” Hong Dali wasn’t concerned at all and continued to lick his ice-cream. “Bet on what?”

“Let’s just play a small one.” Bei Yuanqing smiled like an old fox and said, “Just bet one million. Don’t tell me you don’t even have this small amount of money?”
