In the VIP room, Hong Dali’s classmates listened and stared in bewilderment, and it took them a full three to four minutes to regain their composure.

“Dali!” Ling Yi violently grabbed Dali’s arm and loudly exclaimed. “This song is called Never Left, right? He’s definitely going to get first place, right?!”

“Of course.” Hong Dali giggled. “Of course, it’s the first place.”

…

In this episode of I Am a Singer, after the final results were released, as expected, Chu Zhongqin clinched first place with a huge advantage over the others.

There was absolutely no suspense.

Even when Zhang Cai announced that Chu Zhongqin was going to Merika to host I Am a Singer when the episode was ending, numerous audiences present bawled their eyes out, hoping that Chu Zhongqin would stay.

Even if it was to solely this song every single time, they still were willing to listen to him.

Chu Zhongqin, who had previously felt so nervous and skeptical on this stage, finally had his due recognition.

“Ah, today felt so satisfying.” After the fourth stage of I Am a Singer had finished, Hong Dali stood up and stretched. While he was taking in deep breaths, all of a sudden, a ray of golden light emerged from throughout his body. Then, Hong Dali heard a mechanic voice—

“The total attribute points of the host has increased to the full 100 points. System will start the upgrade now.

“Upgrading in progress, please wait…”

“What? What the heck, the System has upgraded in the span of a few days when I wasn’t even paying attention to it? Seems that the money spent is enough already!

“My Strength has finally reached 100!”

Hong Dali closed his eyes to feel it properly, heh! His whole body was filled with energy! Awesome! Satisfying!

Soon, the mechanic voice sounded again—

“Great Prodigal System, upgrade successful, currently host has successfully upgraded from an rookie prodigal to an elementary-level prodigal.”

Wahahaha, my prodigal title can actually be upgraded? Cool!

Hong Dali was very happy. Seems like that thing behind the System was really awesome!

The System continued—

“Elementary-level prodigal, for every one million yuan squandered, host will be rewarded an attribute point. The previous amount of money squandered will be completely cleared out, and everything will be counted from zero.

“Main mission: Welfare for elementary-level prodigal. Mission details: Host gets to exchange a set of welfare side branch for every ten attribute points used.

“Welfare side branch is separated into three choices: ‘Technology’, ‘Skill’ and ‘Survival,’ respectively.

“Mission Requirement: Squander ten million yuan within two weeks. Worth five attribute points. Penalty for failure: Minus ten attribute points from sexual capability.

“After host is done with exchanging a type of welfare side branch, he can continue using the attribute points to exchange welfare information in detail.”

Side Mission 1 (Upgraded): The Caring Little Prodigal. Mission Requirement: Unknown. Current Progress: 0

/100. Reward: The upgraded title “Animal’s Best Friend.” Title Effect: Host can easily control animals until fifty kilograms in weight. Title Level: Level Two. Additional explanation: This mission does not have to be completed. Once the System finishes upgrading, it will be erased.

Side Mission 2 (Upgraded): Nature’s Little Prodigal. Mission Requirement: Unknown. Current Progress: 0

/100. Mission Reward: The upgraded title of “Nature’s Best Friend.” Title Effect: Obtain the favor of Nature, the ability to be immune from a certain type of natural disaster(Reward according to how the mission is completed). Title Level: Level Two. Additional explanation: This mission does not have to be completed. Once the System finishes upgrading, it will be erased.

What the…

Hong Dali’s eyes opened so wide that they seemed to almost pop out. There was only one attribute point rewarded after upgrading once and directly becoming one million yuan?

Upon reaching here, Hong Dali’s palms were soaked with sweat.

Not to mention others, but these three exchange subsidiaries alone already demanded thirty million! Which meant that the squanderer method of transmigration previously could only be counted as a starter?

Moreover, this was only opening the side branch, and it was hard to say how much the exchange afterward would be!

Moreover, this was only the elementary stage of being a prodigal, looks like in the future…

Moreover, there was also a Main Mission, squander ten million yuan in two weeks! Minus ten attribute points from sexual capability upon failure! What the heck, I definitely cannot fail this, who knows whether the sexual capability can increase after being deducted!

“Okay, then.” Hong Dali let out a long sigh. “Looks like I’ve gone too far this time, haha! I’ll fight with all my might! Right, when Xiaoyi comes back, I’ll ask her to consolidate how much money I have already.”

After which, while he was still thinking, there was a knock on the door all of a sudden. Hong Dali recovered from his thoughts and said, “Come in.”

The door of the VIP room slowly opened, and two people walked in.

Everyone was stunned upon seeing them.

After a slight daze, following it were shouts of joy all around. “It’s Sister Xiaoyi! Sister Xiaoyi has come back! Hahaha!”

Ling Xiaoyi, she was so capable of helping Hong Dali out with his problems, just like a big sister, and she was finally back!

Smilingly following her from the back with eyes filled with admiration and worship, naturally, was her brother, Ling Mufeng!

“Sister Xiaoyi, hahaha, you’re finally back!” Hong Dali went forward to welcome her and plunged his head into her arms, his head desperately fidgeting. “Hahaha! Sister Xiaoyi, you’re finally back. I almost died of desperation when you weren’t around, and I couldn’t do anything well!”

“Young Master…” Just as she opened her mouth to speak, Ling Xiaoyi was already sobbing. “Young Master, during these days when I wasn’t around, you, have you been well?”

“It was still alright, it had to be alright!” Hong Dali grinned as he pulled Ling Xiaoyi to sit down, and Tang Muxin even personally sliced an apple for Ling Xiaoyi. “Sister Xiaoyi, during this period of time you were not around, we all missed you so much.” As she spoke, she looked towards Ling Mufeng. “Brother Mufeng, are things alright now?”

Hong Dali’s friends naturally knew about the incident of Ling Mufeng being conned, and upon seeing him arrive together with Ling Xiaoyi, he should have recovered from that incident.

As expected, Ling Mufeng deeply bowed towards Hong Dali, before saying, “I’m fine now, there’s no issue now. Young Master Dali, thank you. I can’t repay you enough for your kindness.”

“Why are you so polite?” Hong Dali grinned and said. “We’re all family, quickly have a seat, it’s good enough that you’ve recovered.”

Ling Mufeng promptly found a seat and sat down, saying, “Young Master Dali, about me eating that thing, our whole school had come to know about that, I’m scared that my classmates will laugh at me after I return to school. Moreover, I’ve thought for a good while during this period of time, and it just happened that my elder sister said that you, Young Master Dali, have a school of your own, so I was thinking..”

“Call me Young Master, same as your elder sister.” Hong Dali thought for a while and asked, “You want to study at the school I’ve opened? Mm, that’s a pretty good idea too. And we need some men there as well, so you can study while helping out with some tasks. Not bad, not bad.”

Ling Xiaoyi at the side said, “Young Master, why not ask Mufeng to teach English or something, his English is not too bad. And in the future, when the school starts accepting students, it’ll need English teachers as well, so why not let him teach for some time first.”

Mm, that’s true, and he could ask him to keep a lookout as well to divert his attention… it would be best if he had people around him to report any emergency situation discovered.

“Okay! Let’s do that, then!” Hong Dali agreed on the spot. “Let’s set off now, then! Sister Xiaoyi has brought Mufeng back today, we should properly celebrate that! Let’s go to Hung Lung Hotel! Brothers, let’s go!”

Xiaoyi was back, of course, that was to be properly celebrated!

There was a loud response from everyone, and they giggled and grinned as they fetched their cars and called the others, and not long after, all of them gathered at the front door of Hung Lung Hotel.

Speaking of which, this was still his territory, but he hadn’t really come back to have a look for a long time.

Hong Dali, along with his lackeys in full force, proudly entered the hotel, and the welcoming staff, as well as other staff, immediately exclaimed in unison upon seeing Hong Dali. “Good evening, Young Master!” This was their God of Fortune, they had to please him with all their might no matter what!

Today, the fourth stage of I Am a Singer has achieved great success, the Great Prodigal System has been upgraded, Xiaoyi has come back, I’m so happy today!Thus, Hong Dali waved his hand and said, “Reward for all, everyone will get 1,000!”

The lackeys immediately came forward to count the money.

Ling Xiaoyi, who was following behind, smiled and said, “Young Master still hasn’t changed at all.”

After rewarding the tips, everyone was happy, and Hong Dali asked, “Is there any large private room available? I want the biggest one!”

“There is!” Service was, of course, up to standard after the tips were received, and five waiters came to the front to clear up and lead the way, with their mouths grinning almost up to their ears—they really only had to throw petals while walking already…

They reached the largest National Dinner room in no time. Hong Dali went in and glanced through, before nodding his head in satisfaction. “Not bad, this room is good!”

Could it not be good? This room could well occupy up to over a hundred people without it being too squeezy!

“Get me all the best dishes, and serve some good wine as well.” Hong Dali was really happy today, happier than the day of his adult ceremony. Thus, this lad decided to drink less wine and enjoy it to the fullest. “We’ve got to celebrate today well. Everyone, drink some wine, after which you can either sleep here or go to Ye Lai Xiang!”

These two places were both his anyway, thus everyone naturally agreed.

Just as they sat down, Li Nianwei, Zhang Cai, as well as both master and disciple—Mu Zixiao and Geezer Wang—all arrived, and the entire room was filled with a passionate atmosphere. As the saying went, people were in high spirits when involved in happy events. Once the atmosphere became good, everyone naturally started to demand wine.

Hong Dali was so happy, drink!

Tang Muxin sat by his side and softly reminded him. “Dali, your body is not that well, stop drinking.”

“How can I!” Hong Dali beamed with delight as he poured a glass of beer for himself. “It’s a happy day today, I have to drink! No worries, I’ll just drink… three glasses! Just three glasses of beer, and I’ll go home to sleep! Okay?”

Three glasses, and that was beer, Tang Muxin thought for a while and mumbled. “That… should be alright…”

From what the small lass knew, drinking three glasses of beer should not be a big issue. After which she regretted it.

It was not a big issue to others, but it was an issue to Dali, for he got drunk after gulping down three glasses of beer…

The easiest type of situation was someone immediately falling asleep after getting drunk. For some people, they tend to talk too much after drinking too much, and that was fine as well. Then there was the type of people who enjoyed making a big ruckus after drinking too much—that was the most troublesome type.

But Hong Dali was none of those types of people—this lad had a special trademark; after he had too much to drink, and that was to be completely alert, with little to speak, not sleeping, not creating havoc, but just swaying from left to right!

When he sat, he would start to sway from left to right, and when he stood up to walk, it was an S shape…

Actually, that was not a big issue initially, but the problem was that not long after Hong Dali drank, two smartly dressed men came in from the main entrance of the room, and, upon seeing Hong Dali, politely said, “Young Master Dali, the family meeting will start tomorrow. The Big Elder has tasked us with fetching you there to rest, to avoid being late tomorrow. The helicopter is already on standby, please come with us now, Young Master Dali.”
