258 The Idol in the World of Prodigals

Since it was already decided that they would go for stone-gambling, the group instantly set off.

Hong Dali snapped his fingers, grinned and said, "Since it's still early, why don't we go there and have a look. Anyway, the journey isn't too far, we'll probably reach there in a short while."

"That's good, Young Master. Please go first, I'll go get the car right now to lead the way for you." By now, Lao Deming had confirmed Hong Dali to be the money god. Thus, he was extremely earnest in his words and actions. Anyway, looks like he wouldn't have to spend money himself for today's stone-gambling, and he could enjoy it along with him too. Whoever didn't go for such a good thing was a fool!

Obviously, Lao Deming wasn't a fool. Thus, the group instantly got onto the car and a little incident that occurred in the middle of it—Hong Dali had always wanted to test out the skills from the System through the stone-gambling, then he recalled that he'd previously already used that machine breakdown, assembly, and transformation skills. Once he thought of these two skills, he wanted to try them out with these few cars.

If he disassembled hundreds of these Prayer Angels and reassembled a new true Prayer Angel, wouldn't that be cool?

Unfortunately, he could only think about it. It wasn't that he couldn't fork out the money, the problem was that his skills points were not enough to disassemble them…

Alas, Hong Dali could only helplessly get onto the Soaring Angel—what the heck, in the future, he must reconstruct this car!

Regardless, the group had finally traveled on the road towards the stone-gambling place.

In the car, Tang Muxin stealthily pulled Hong Dali's arm with anticipation in her eyes as she asked, "Dali, won't you strike a fortune by betting on stones? It's stone-gambling, I've heard about it before—it's very exciting! It's totally dependent on luck! You have always been very lucky. By then, you can just pick and buy the valuable ones. As long as you win one bet, you'll get rich!"

"Oh…" Hong Dali nonchalantly sniffled. "We'll try it when we get there, there's no rush."

"En, I trust that you can definitely do it!" Speaking of which, Tang Muxin was more and more like a housewife. She had increasingly fewer objections to her status as Hong Dali's fiancée—the little lass' attention now was almost entirely on Hong Dali…

Very soon, they reached the place. Lao Deming got off the car first and earnestly ran to open the car door for Hong Dali, smiling as he said, "Young Master, we've arrived. Do we get off the car and go in now?"

"En, sure." Hong Dali got off the car and glanced at the surroundings. Very quickly, he saw a few groups of people not far away. They were dressed rather smartly, and, though Hong Dali couldn't see the brand of their clothes, he was sure that they were not ordinary people—definitely second-generation nouveau riches who lived nearby.

Speaking of which, the gathering of such a big group of second-generation nouveau riches was indeed enough to attract attention. Hong Dali asked, "Are they here to bet on stones as well?"

Lao Deming nodded and said, "En, it should be. In Tianjing, people would normally have to tone down. They don't have to be mindful of their behavior here. These people are all the rich young masters who live nearby. At night, after they have nothing more to do after drinking wine, they'd go to the streets to make a ruckus or come over here to play with stones. To them, they can have as many women as they want, and furthermore, with their powerful and influential family backgrounds, they especially love thrills." Speaking up to this point, Lao Deming carefully reminded. "Young Master, this bunch of people are used to being wild and overbearing. They are occasionally caught by the police but get released with just a phone call. Normally, nobody will dare to bother with them. You have to be careful."

"Oh, that's fine." Hong Dali sniffled. "I'm here to bet on stones, not to beat people up…"

"Hey, where did this rich young master come from? Why do I feel that he looks a little familiar?" Just then, a group of second-generation nouveau riches came over, and the person in front glanced at those three Prayer Angels and one Soaring Angel and asked strangely, "It's impossible that I'm unaware of a young master who brings out so many good cars at once. Could it be that this fellow came from another place?"

Though this group of second-generation Big Young Masters were wild and loved thrills, they all had keen sights about things. Though they hadn't watched "Unexpectedly" that Hong Dali had starred in, they still had a rough impression of him from the Internet. Moreover, coupled with Dali's grand appearance, he was naturally different.

"Hehe, hello, big brother." Hong Dali had a very good temper by nature, thus, he instantly greeted this group of people once he saw them. "I've heard that it's rather interesting to bet on stones here, so I came to take a look."

"Aiyo." That second-generation rich young master scanned Dali from head to toe, then smiled and said, "You look talented with an extremely fine aura. Your cars are all good cars, and your woman is a rare beauty as well—she must come from good family background. Seems like there will be a good show to watch."

"Haha, thank you for your praises. It's my first time coming here, why don't you help to lead the way?" Hong Dali beamed with delight.

Speaking of which, people from the same roots would cultivate different types of characters. There were some second-generation riches who were extremely arrogant and supercilious and attracted hate from around the world. Meanwhile, there were those who were still decent on the outside no matter how wild and playful they were.

Obviously, the person Hong Dali met today belonged to the latter.

This person stretched out his hand first. "No problem. I'm Yang Chao," As he spoke, he pointed to a good-looking woman beside him who was over 20 years old and said, "This is my wife, Su Yan."

"Brother Yang, hello! I'm Hong Dali." Hong Dali was indeed a sweet talker. "Hello, sister-in-law!"

Su Yan smiled as she teased. "Young Master Dali, this is your girlfriend, right? Look at her, I'm liking her just by looking at her, hehe."

Fine, one sentence caused Tang Muxin to decisively become a traitor. "Sister Su, I'm not as good as what you said…"

Afterward, the two women got close to each other naturally as they stood together and chatted enthusiastically.

"Dali, Dali, why does it sound so familiar the more I hear of this name…" Yang Chao mumbled for a while, and soon after, he saw Li Nianwei, who was wearing her sunglasses and had been standing behind and not been talking much. "Why do I find this pretty girl so familiar too…"

He took a few more looks, and this time, he was truly surprised. "You are goddess Li Nianwei?!" Then, he looked at Hong Dali again. "You're that Young Master Dali that promoted Li Nianwei through her rise to fame overnight?"Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

"Uh…" This time, it was Hong Dali's turn to feel embarrassed. "It seems like it…"

"Idol!" Yang Chao wasn't shocked to see Li Nianwei, he was instead shocked to see Hong Dali. "You're the legendary superprodigal, right?? Aiya, aiya, idol, you're definitely an idol! I was thinking of doing things as you did, but I'm not as lucky as you, how sad!"

Speaking of which, this group of second-generation riches that Yang Chao belonged to didn't lack women at all. To them, as long as they were willing to, they could change one woman per night without any difficulty, and it was even as simple as eating and drinking. Thus, after coming into contact with many women before, they naturally weren't that excited anymore.

Thus, though Yang Chao liked Li Nianwei a lot and thought that she was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen, obviously, Hong Dali still attracted him more.

Thus, he hurriedly asked, "Um, Young Master Dali, can you teach me how to squander?"

Can this be taught? Squandering is a type of skill!

"Hahaha." Hong Dali instantly played dumb. "Let's go and bet on stones first…"

"Ah, yes, I was too long-winded." Yang Chao laughed heartily. "I was a little too excited upon seeing my idol, too excited."

By then, those people behind him had also learned of Hong Dali's identity and instantly roared with laughter.

Speaking of which, Hong Dali was actually not very clear about the level of his popularity.

That wasn't his fault actually, for he was really a carefree and thoughtless person…

To the group of civilians, he'd made Li Nianwei rise to fame overnight, and created "Unexpectedly" and "I Am a Singer." Thus, his explosive popularity within the circle of civilians was naturally undoubted.

Meanwhile, to the group of people who were the true nouveau riches, he was even more of a legend.

Someone who squandered and spent money with all his might earned more money the more he spent, and he even subdued the Big Turtle. This was naturally not a joke. Fortunately, those that filmed Big Turtle covered his face with a mosaic, or else he'd probably not even be able to go out of his house in the future…

Now, Hong Dali brought Li Nianwei, Tang Muxin, his lackeys as well as Lao Deming, while Yang Chao brought Su Yan and a group of friends with him. Everyone chatted and laughed as they walked into the area where the stone-gambling event was to be held. Hong Dali was instantly shocked by the huge scale of the stone-gambling scene.

There were over a hundred exhibitions on jade quarry, and there were many overseas businessmen who did big businesses with jades and many studios with the names of over a hundred vendors, enough to keep all eyes occupied. Moreover, the jade quarry stones in every studio had long ago made Lao Deming's eyes sparkle due to his liking towards dealing with this stuff. Had Hong Dali not been beside him, it was almost certain that he would have pounced forward and prepared to auction for them a long time ago.

"Alright, Young Master Dali." After bringing Hong Dali and the rest in, Yang Chao smiled and said, "You're a guest today since you've come from afar. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether I engage in betting today, so I'll be the guide, how's that?"

"That will be great." Hong Dali grinned and nodded. "Thank you."

"En." Yang Chao instantly started to introduce. "All these jades today are open to bids, meaning that you can directly buy them on the spot. Afterward, you can use the tools on the stalls set up there to dissect the rocks, and if what is dissected turns out to be a top grade green jade, then it's a gain, otherwise, it's a loss."

Though Yang Chao did not run a jade business, he'd dabbled in these things frequently. It was just that he lost most of the time, which really made him suffer quite a bit of loss.

Fortunately, his family was wealthy, so he didn't care about that bit of money as he only looked for the thrill in it.

After knowing about Hong Dali's achievements—especially after that episode of the Perfect Plan program on the television after Hong Dali had made Li Nianwei famous—after he'd watched it, he had treated that sentence said by Hong Dali, "I only wanted to squander" as a classic.

Unfortunately, he couldn't learn even ten percent of Hong Dali's skillful way of squandering.

Now that he'd finally run into him today, he naturally had to properly learn from him. Thus, he became the guide for Hong Dali without hesitation and properly displayed the knowledge he had accumulated over the years.

"Oh, is that so." Hong Dali nodded. "That's good, that's good."

"Young Master Dali." Yang Chao spoke as he led the way for Hong Dali. "There are both high-value and low-value stones here. However, I reckon that with Young Master Dali's generosity, you'd definitely take those that are of the best quality. This is the most exciting part too—one single cut will decide whether it's a complete loss without returns or striking rich overnight. It's all dependent on luck."

He knew that Hong Dali was lucky, so he would, of course, encourage Hong Dali to play the most exciting one.

However, to his surprise, Hong Dali touched his chin and instead shook his head and said, "Squandering takes skills, we'd better test waters first. Are there any of them that costs a few hundred yuan? A few thousand yuan will do as well."

"Few… few hundred?" Yang Chao was stunned upon hearing that.

This feeling was as unbelievable as a few billionaires coming to gather and playing mahjong while betting a few yuan at one time. "Young Master Dali, are you sure you didn't mean a million?"
