"Hong Dali, male, 22 years old, orphan, died because he bravely saved two children who were about to be hit by a car. The relevant departments have decided to confer Hong Dali the title of hero and outstanding university student. "
— People's Daily.
…
"I'm not going, I'm not going! I don't want to go with you to the Hong family to get engaged!"
Tang Muxin buried her head in the pillow and desperately kicked her fair little legs. "Hong Dali is a well-known good-for-nothing in the city. He's a disgrace to the Hong Family. Furthermore, he looks sickly and not very smart. He's also a standard prodigal. I don't want someone like him to be my fiancé!" Tang Muxin was speechless.
Tang Muxin, the only daughter of Tang Ruisi, the chairman of Tang Medical Private Limited Company. Not only was she multi-talented and knowledgeable, she was also beautiful and graceful. She had the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth in her body, and she was also a great cook. She was the dream lover of many boys in school.
But today, she heard her father say that he was going to marry Hong Dali to the famous prodigal Hong Dali. How could she accept this? If not for his parents doting on him, he would have been chased out of the Hong family to fend for himself. How would he have the chance to squander like this?
Hearing his daughter's words, Tang Ruisi smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "Xinxin, I don't have a choice. Your marriage with Hong Dali was decided by your grandfather. Although he's a prodigal, it shouldn't be a big problem, right? From what I know, Hong Dali is quite good-looking … "
Tang Ruisi was wearing a greenish-gray vest with a spotless white undershirt inside. He had a simple bow tie on his collar, and there was a light stubble on his lips. He held a bronze smoking pipe in his hand, and his short black hair was combed back neatly. It was glossy and shiny, and his overall image was quite good. However, his eyes, which were originally brimming with vigor, were now filled with helplessness and indignation.
Speaking of which, if he wasn't forced into a corner, why would he be willing to give his daughter away? After all, Hong Dali could be said to be a weirdo in the human world. The only thing he liked to do, or rather, what he knew how to do, was to squander.
His most famous sentence was: "I have to squander. If I don't squander, wouldn't it be a waste of my parents' ability to earn money?"
This sentence was a joke that everyone in Tianjing City knew about. Many parents would say this to their children: "If you dare to learn from that prodigal Hong Dali, see if I don't break your legs!"
Therefore, it was reasonable for Tang Muxin to have such a big reaction.
Sure enough, after hearing Tang Ruisi's words, Tang Muxin shouted angrily, "Stop it! Your business has a cash flow problem. That's why you want to get a loan through this marriage. Do you think I don't know? Dad, you're selling your daughter! "
"Sigh, if not for the fact that we have no other way out, who would be willing to do this …" Tang Ruisi shook his head helplessly. "If we can't get through this, it won't be long before we have to declare bankruptcy. Xinxin, I don't want this either …"
"You're selling your daughter?" Tang Muxin cried. "He's a prodigal. What can you do even if you get a loan? Even if we get married in the future, won't he squander all our assets? It's just a matter of time, sob sob … "
"That's true …" Tang Ruisi frowned and thought for a while. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said, "Xinxin, how about this? Let's get engaged first. When Dad's company returns to normal, we'll find an excuse to cancel the marriage. This time, our research funding exceeded our budget. Once the funding catches up and the project succeeds, it will definitely be a world-shaking event. When we recover, we'll think of a way to cancel the marriage. His family won't say anything then, right? "
Tang Muxin sobbed. "It's easy to get engaged but hard to cancel. His family is one of the top 500 companies in the world. How can it be so easy?"
He had to admit that Tang Muxin was a very smart girl.
She knew how many men drooled over her looks and talent. If her family went bankrupt, she would definitely not end up well. This was how the world was — the strong preyed on the weak. When you were strong, no one would dare to touch you. But when your family really went bankrupt, there would definitely be many people who would come to add insult to injury.
For example, the Young Master of the Liu Family who had been pestering her in school.
Therefore, Tang Muxin cried for a while. In the end, she knew that there was no other way. She could only climb up unwillingly. "Then, let's try it out first. Sob sob, Dad, you must remember to cancel the marriage in the future. I don't want to marry that prodigal!"
"En, OK. For my Xinxin, Dad will try his best." Tang Ruisi sighed and patted Tang Muxin's shoulder. "Xinxin, let's go."
…
Hong Dali sat on the bed, his eyes blank and his mind in a mess.
The surrounding environment was very unfamiliar. There was a big problem with his memory. Now, he could barely recall the ear-piercing sound of brakes. The rest was a mess of memories that did not belong to him.
"Am I not dead? Where is this place?" Looking at his pale and slender hands, Hong Dali thought, This is not my body, and this is not where I usually live. So, where is this place?
He looked left and right for a while and thought. The most important thing now is to figure out the current situation.
"First, whether I'm dead or alive. Second, where is this place and who am I? Third, what should I do next?
Now, let's look at the first point. Hong Dali pinched a small piece of oily skin on the back of his left hand and rubbed it. It hurts. I feel pain. This means that I should still be alive. He carefully touched his face, neck, ears, and head. This body is obviously not my previous body, but it is still within the range of a human. So, my current situation should be like the transmigration or rebirth in novels?
"Now, let's move on to the second question. Where is this place and who am I?" Hong Dali looked around again. The reinforced concrete structure of the house, the snow-white walls, and all kinds of modern household appliances. There was even a 30-inch LCD computer in the corner of the room. This is modern society, yes. But I have never seen the celebrities pasted on the walls, and I have never heard of the various toy models. In that case, this world should be the legendary parallel space?
There was no one around. Hong Dali carefully stood up and took a deep breath. This body is really weak. It's as thin as a bamboo pole. I wonder when I will suddenly die.
Hong Dali turned on the computer and randomly opened a few websites. The contents displayed were very different from those on Earth, but at least he understood a few things. First, the language of this world, or rather, this country, is still Chinese. Second, it is indeed a parallel space. Many things are different from Earth, but not by much. Third, there are no superhumans in this world. It belongs to a technological world, so there is no need to work hard to practice martial arts.
After confirming this information, what Hong Dali needed to do next was to confirm his own identity. However, after searching the entire room, he couldn't find anything that could confirm his identity. "Strange, could it be that there isn't even anything that records the name of this body? Not even an identity card? After thinking for a while, he quickly understood. Hehe, looking at this body, it should not be very old, about 17 or 18 years old. There might be an identity card, but it is more likely that it has not been issued yet. After all, this world is different from Earth. It is normal to have some slight differences.
Just as he thought up to this point, a large amount of messy information suddenly surged into his mind. It was so painful that Hong Dali squatted on the ground. When the pain finally subsided, an emotionless metallic voice sounded in his mind —
"Great Prodigal System has discovered the Host. Binding in progress. Please wait …
"Great Prodigal System binding successful. Current level: Level one."
Speaking up to this point, a small person appeared in Hong Dali's mind. It looked like himself. On the right side of the small person was a row of information —
"Host name: Hong Dali."
"Strength: 36. Speed: 41. Reflexes: 52. Health: 39. Sexual Ability: 32. Note: A normal person's index is 100. "
Hong Dali stared in bewilderment. "Great Prodigal System? Is this thing real or fake? Strength: 36. Even a person without the strength to truss a chicken would not be able to do much, right? Speed: 41. This is so slow. Reflexes: 52. The reflex arc is too long. Health: 39. This is the pace at which I can die at any time. Wait, Sexual Ability: 32? What the heck, I can't tolerate this! "
Without hesitation, Hong Dali pulled open the waistband of his trousers and took a look. After taking a look, a string of curses ran through his mind — this thing that was only half the size of his pinky was his penis?!
A man could not do anything, but definitely not this!
Hong Dali burst into tears. "I should just kill myself and see if I can transmigrate again …"
Luckily, there was always a way out. Just as Hong Dali was about to commit suicide, the metallic voice of the System sounded again. "Explanation: For every 100,000 yuan (RMB) that the Host squanders, you will receive one attribute point. When the Host's attributes reach the standard of a normal person, the Great Prodigal System will be upgraded. New items and props will be added. Please look forward to it. "
"I can receive attribute points?!" At this time, there was nothing better than raising his attributes. Hong Dali beamed with delight. "Can I really receive attribute points through squandering and become like a normal person?"
Although the System's voice was still cold, it sounded like a song in his ears. "Yes."
Hong Dali was so excited that he almost jumped up. "I want to squander! I want to squander! "
"Next, Host, please accept the first mission: Squander for the first time. Mission Requirement: Squander at least 100,000 yuan before midnight today. Mission Reward: One attribute point. Failure Penalty: 5 attribute points will be randomly deducted. "
"Current Squandering Value: 0."
Hearing the Great Prodigal System's words, Hong Dali broke out in a cold sweat. "Squander 100,000 yuan before midnight? What the heck, it's already 8 PM! There are only four hours left. No, I want to go out! I want to squander! "
Just as he was thinking up to this point, the door to the room was gently pushed open. A female servant in her forties bowed slightly and gently said, "Young Master Dali, Master and Madam are asking for you. Please follow me."
