Chapter 671: Tang Long’s Conditions
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Although my master was a member of the Beta Star, Galaxy Aristocracy, Master had inadvertently affected the interests of many people.
“Where there are people, there will be disputes. Where there are competitions, there will be gambling.
“The Galaxy Mecha Competition is no exception. Master had won too many games and was too powerful, so he came under pressure from the Galaxy Aristocrats. In short, after winning thirty-six consecutive times, they disallowed Master from taking part. Otherwise, the competition would lose its meaning. Of course, because of Master’s identity, they had to handle it carefully. If it were anyone else, they would have been warned and banned from competing again after three consecutive wins.
“Later, Master understood that he affected the interests of too many people. Because of his existence, there was no meaning in gambling on the games.
“I believe everyone knows what happened next. The Roth clan from the Beta Star invited the strongest player in the Middle Galaxy, Duan Xuan, to fight my master Mo Tianji. At that time, there was a huge battle, blocking the light from the sun and the moon. Countless stars and planets were destroyed in the virtual universe. In the end, my master lost by half a move.
“Well, it was a competition, after all. If you win, you win. If you lose, you lose. My master was not overly affected. He started to travel around the galaxy, and as he traveled, he practiced.
“While we were traveling, we met the Zerg army.
“It was a fierce battle. The Thunder Angel destroyed more than thirty asteroids and twelve Zerg hives. However, there was simply too much of the Zerg army. The Thunder Angel finally ran out of energy, and its space warp engine was destroyed by the Zerg. At that time, Master was still fending off numerous attacks by the Zerg.
“Speaking of which, everything has its time and place in the universe. Master used the last of the Thunder Angel’s energy and released a powerful shot from the accelerated particle cannon. The Zerg hive hesitated and Master managed to escape. Finally, he landed here.”
Everyone finally understood what happened when the AI butler finished his story.
To put it simply, the Invincible East Mo Tianji participated in the Galaxy Mecha Competition because of a bet and affected the interests of others. As a result, after the final battle in which Mo Tianji lost, he started traveling around the galaxy. In his travels, he encountered the Zerg, battled them, did not die, and fell to Earth. After he landed on Earth he took in disciples and left a secret manual. Wang Daoming got the manual and knocked into Hong Dali’s car. Hong Dali then found the Five Element Wheel and came here, where he met the Invincible East Mo Tianji’s... AI butler...
Just look at how complicated this relationship was...
The AI butler Tang Long had waited more than a thousand years for someone to finally come, and he was indeed a little anxious. “Let’s not talk about that for now. Young man... right, I forgot to ask. What’s your name?”
It seemed that this AI butler would also forget things...
“Ah, my name is Hong Dali.” Hong Dali rubbed his nose. “The great-great-great-great-grand disciple of Grandpa Invincible East is called Wang Daoming. We all call him Old Geezer Wang.”
Wang Daoming chuckled and replied, “Yes, yes, just call me Old Geezer Wang.”
“Okay, I finally meet some people after waiting for such a long time.” The AI butler Tang Long nodded and said, “It is also one of the rare kind ones. Well, Hong Dali, my master’s body is right here. After he died, it was unlikely we would be able to find any of his descendants. What I want to ask you is, are you willing to acknowledge my master as your ancestor? That way, you will be a member of Beta Star and an instant member of the Galaxy Aristocracy. What do you think?”
This was great!
As long as he acknowledged the Invincible East as his ancestor, he would become a member of the Beta Star immediately, Galaxy Aristocracy! Such a good opportunity practically fell on him from the sky. He would be a fool not to accept it!
Deca’s eyeballs almost popped out from their sockets. If it were him, he would definitely accept. He would do it even if he had to put his life on the line for it!
The Bureau Chief kept winking at Hong Dali. Accept, quickly accept! Once you have accepted, you will have nothing to worry about. Earth will not have to be afraid anymore!
Galaxy Aristocrat! Who in the galaxy Alliance dared go up against the Galaxy Aristocrats?!
However, others were others, and Prodigal Hong was Prodigal Hong. He was different!
“I don’t want to!” Hong Dali shook his head decisively. “My father and grandfather are all well and alive. I’m not going to acknowledge someone else as my ancestor. Grandpa Invincible East is my grandpa, but not my Grandpa Ancestor. I will respect him, but not as an ancestor.”
“Brat!” The Bureau Chief yelled. “That is the Invincible East! Invincible East! All you have to do is call him Grandpa Ancestor and in the future, you will be Galaxy Aristocracy! Such a good thing...” The Bureau Chief was depressed. This Hong Dali usually seemed flippant, but once he decided on something, there was no way to change his mind!
Galaxy Aristocracy! If he rejected it this time, would he be able to find such a good opportunity in the future? Do you think you will get to acknowledge a Galaxy Aristocrat as an ancestor just because you wanted to?
Deca squatted in a corner drawing imaginary circles. “Refused... Dali actually refused. I thought I could become the lackey of a Galaxy Aristocrat...”
However, Hong Dali was very firm in his decision. “I don’t want it! My parents only have one son, me. If I acknowledge the Galaxy Aristocrat as my ancestor, won’t I have to change my name to Mo?” Instead of Hong Dali, he would be Mo Dali. That must not be done! He would not do it for any amount of money!
“That’s true,” said AI butler Tang Long. He nodded. “If you acknowledge my master as your ancestor, you will naturally have to change your surname to Mo. If you follow the customs here, then Hong Dali will be known as Mo Dali in the future.”
“See, see.” Hong Dali pouted. “That must not be done! If Prodigal Hong suddenly becomes Prodigal Mo, I will bring shame to myself and Grandpa Mo Tianji. He might even climb out of his coffin to kill me...”
He was destined to be a prodigal. It was bad enough that he had to be the bane of the Hong Family. If he became the bane of the Galaxy Aristocrats—”Look, look, that is the prodigal Mo Dali. Oh, he’s even Galaxy Aristocracy. What a disgrace!” Earth might even be destroyed by angry Beta Star people!
Of course, this was just an excuse Hong Dali gave Tang Long. What he really thought was that, his name was given by his parents, and there was no way he would change it!
“Okay...” The Bureau Chief nodded helplessly. He could only agree. “That makes sense...”
“You are really rejecting it?” The AI butler looked depressed. He imitated Deca and squatted in a corner drawing imaginary circles. “It’s only been over a thousand years and the Galaxy Aristocracy has lost so much of its prestige...”
“They’re still prestigious.” Tang Muxin smiled and said, “But it depends on whom. Our Dali is not interested, right?”
“It’s a given.” Hong Dali grinned and nodded. “The name given by my parents is more important!”
“Okay, okay, let’s not talk about this now.” The Bureau Chief was afraid Tang Long would get angry, so he tried to smooth things over. “Mr. Tang Long, how about you tell us more about the universe? Maybe things related to military or commerce. That is much more interesting.” Since they had already hooked up with the universe, it was important that they get as much information as possible.
“Alright.” Tang Long saw that Hong Dali was not willing to acknowledge Invincible East as his ancestor and so did not say more. He started explaining immediately. “In the Galaxy Alliance, business is divided into various categories. There are many of them, but in fact, the categories can be easily summarized.
“The development of science and technology, has only one purpose. That is to enrich people’s lives. Clothing, food, accommodation, and travel; everything in the universe is developed for convenience. For example, artificial intelligence is developed by humans for convenience. In the Galactic Empire, all human actions are arranged by AI butlers. If you want to go to work, the butler will wake you up on time. When you get out of bed, the butler would have already arranged for the robot to prepare your food. When you are dressed and ready to leave, the butler would have arranged for the AI spacecraft to send you to work.
“It would not be an exaggeration to say that in the universe, everything is very fast, convenient, and enjoyable. After all, the original intention of technology is to make human life better.
“But also because of this, people’s lives became more and more convenient and their physical fitness began to deteriorate. Therefore, the Virtual Universe Network emerged.
“The Virtual Universe Network was originally created for people to relax after work, but this is not its real purpose. Its real purpose is to guide and get people to exercise.
“Where there are people, there will be disputes. There must be competition. If you have one million, I want to have more than you, even if it’s just ten thousand more. So, in the virtual network, everyone hopes that they can be better. But how can they improve? In the virtual network, which prohibits technology, they have to explore and obtain all kinds of precious materials so that they can upgrade their things. However, adventure requires strength. This is where martial arts exercises come in.
“People discover martial arts in the virtual world, then they cultivate themselves and enhance their strength. They then practice in real life, and they can increase their level again. In this way, the habit of practicing martial arts is cultivated.
“Because of this, martial arts has gradually become more important to humans.
“In the Galactic Empire, the martial arts people are divided into ten levels!
“Beginners who have just started learning martial arts are collectively referred to as First Order Apprentices. Once they learn the basics, they are known as Second Order Apprentices. When they learn some moves, they will be Third Order Apprentices. When they learn to combine martial arts moves, they will be Fourth Order Apprentices. Skillful combination of moves makes them Fifth Order Apprentices.
“From Fifth Order Apprentices, they will become Planet Warriors. At this time, the warriors are distinguished by their combat power. Calculating 45% of their strength, 30% of their agility and 25% of response multiplied by the skill coefficient, if the total is more than two hundred, they are considered First Order Planet Warriors. More than four hundred, Second Order Planet Warriors. More than eight hundred, Third Order Planet Warriors. More than one thousand six hundred, Fourth Order Planet Warriors. Lastly, more than three thousand two hundred, Fifth Order Planet Warriors. For example, according to his current attributes—Strength: 73, Agility: 86, Reflexes: 92—multiplied by the coefficient, it equals to 81.65. He has cultivated the Magic Demon Skill. His current skill level of 30% can increase his strength by about 7.2 times, so his combat power is 587.88, which makes him a Second Order Planet Warrior.”
