“Like what I’ve said, why would Uncle Chief need to come personally just to give a small red packet?” Hong Dali grinned and asked, “What exactly is the matter that you’re here for? Judging by your energetic and glowing face, it must be something good, right?”

Probably only this prodigal Hong Dali would call a 10 million USD red packet “small”...

The Bureau Chief was speechless. Nobody could talk about money with this Hong Dali, whoever did so would get his feelings hurt—suffering from a huge setback...

“To put it simply, it’s about that blueprint of New Lanxiang that you mentioned. Our design personnel has already completed it.” The Bureau Chief took out a USB driver and casually inserted it into a laptop. Afterward, it was tragic...

Sounds of Zz la, zz la sounded, and the Bureau Chief’s hair stood on end. Hong Dali stared in bewilderment. “Uncle Chief, you’re so brave, you even dare to use Chuyin’s laptop...”

The little tiger Quentin was scared as well, as it let out an “Ahwooo” and buried itself in Hong Dali’s arms...

Smoke whiffed out from the Bureau Chief’s head as he raged and said, “Little rascal, why didn’t you say it earlier?!”

“I wanted to say it.” Hong Dali was very despondent as well. “The problem is that you moved too fast...”

“Is the data destroyed?!” The Bureau Chief anxiously took out the USB driver and wanted to cry but couldn’t. “This data is very important...”

“Oh, wait for a while then.” Hong Dali carried Quentin out of the laboratory, shouting, “Someone, come and bring a laptop, Uncle Chief wants to show me some information.”

Very soon, a male lackey brought a laptop and carefully entered the laboratory, put the laptop on the desk, then went back the same way he came in—this fellow was the one that had touched Lin Chuyin’s laptop back then and was electrocuted till he almost became unable to care for himself...

The Bureau Chief paid no attention to the numbing sensation throughout his entire body, as he hurriedly inserted the USB driver into the laptop again and meticulously read the list of contents. He then heaved out a long sigh of relief and mumbled to himself, “Fortunately, fortunately, the data is still here...”

“You don’t back up all your data?” Hong Dali strangely asked, “What if it’s damaged?”

“Who would have thought that Chuyin’s sense of defense would be so strong?” The Bureau Chief despondently said. “Alright, say no more, hurry up and take a look at the New Lanxiang blueprint that the design personnel has designed. It’s a full 3D model. If the texture is added it can be used as a CG animation.”

“Let me see, let me see!” Hong Dali excitedly came over and looked at the laptop screen.

As expected, no wonder the Bureau Chief had come personally. This blueprint is impressive!

The Bureau Chief pointed at the blueprint on the monitor and explained to Hong Dali one by one. “This tall tower in the middle is going to undergo constructions for the largest library in the nation. You can name it. Currently, it’s 468 meters, with a 120 meters diameter, 18 lifts, and a total of 120 storeys. The books inside contain all the famous literary works that can currently be found. There are web novels as well!”

“Wow!” Hong Dali’s eyes lit up and he fiercely nodded, “That’s good, that’s good! This is impressive and grand, I want this!”

“Little rascal, are you satisfied now?” The Bureau Chief’s hairs were sticking straight out as he gleefully said, “A lot has been invested in this, you small prodigal is really the only son of god!”

“Of course!” Hong Dali grinned and said, “The nation is so daring to spend money on me this time?”

Such a sci-fi tower would definitely not cost a small amount. Hong Dali did not expect that the nation would dare to invest so much money into it. His original intent was only to build a cooler school...

“You brat still don’t know?” The Bureau Chief smiled and said, “Your good luck is widely known. The nation is determined to support you this time. Anyway, it won’t suffer losses no matter how much money it invests on you. This is a rare opportunity. Of course, it has to spend big money. Just this library alone needs a minimal investment of 4 billion.”

“So fearsome!” Hong Dali was stunned. “Aren’t the authorities afraid of suffering losses?”

“It’ll be treated as a landmark, and in the worst case, it can also be converted into a tourist attraction spot. With such a huge library being constructed,” The Bureau Chief grinned. “There’ll be quite a number of people visiting it regularly.”

“But I always make things free of charge.” Hong Dali stared at the blueprint, then looked at the Bureau Chief. “I’ll say this first, you can’t scold me if it really suffers losses by then!”

Cough! cough! Upon hearing Hong Dali’s words, the Bureau Chief immediately coughed. Damn it, he’d forgotten about the prodigal nature of this brat! But now that he had already said it, naturally, he could not revoke his words. Thus, he despondently said, “It’s up to you to play around with it. Let’s continue first.”

The Bureau Chief continued the introduction, “These few constructions below are the canteens, hostel, school buildings and so on. I’ll not go into detail about them. Anyway, they’re all large-scale and cost a lot. You little brat like to spend money, so you’ll have to fork out your own money on this. It’s very good that we’ve helped you build a library already. After all, we don’t have any more money for you...”

“I like this.” Upon hearing that he was required to spend money, Hong Dali beamed with delight. “What meaning is there if you don’t ask me to spend money? Oh right, that library that you just talked about, can I name it?”

“En, you name it.” The Bureau Chief was very curious about what Hong Dali would name it as. Alas, as expected, Hong Dali said a name that he’d never think of.

Hong Dali looked at the library, then looked at the school, and finally said, “This... Call it Dalaran! Wahahaha! This name is good, this name is good!”

“Dalaran? What’s that?” The Bureau Chief was confused. Speaking of which, this name did not resemble the style of the Heavenly State at all...

“Dalaran.” Hong Dali pointed at the library. “This library will be called Dalaran Technology Tower! Wahahaha, just thinking of it gives me the feels!”

The Bureau Chief still hadn’t understood...

Actually, it wasn’t his fault. How would he know what Dalaran was?

However, to Hong Dali, being able to construct a Dalaran Technology Tower was a man’s dream!

Dalaran was the state name in Hong Dali’s favorite game, World of Warcraft. It was the center of magic in the entire human history and the study of the arcane. Though this world was not a magical world, it was still possible to create this into an exchange center for the entire world’s technology and scientific knowledge.

Thinking about it carefully, the science and technology working personnel would all treat this Dalaran Technology Tower as a holy place in their hearts... Humph, humph. It’s impressive and grand beyond explanation!

“Forget it, name it however you want to.” The Bureau Chief shook his head and continued introducing, “In actuality, the main idea of the construction on land is its style, that doesn’t need any more explanation. The real focus is underground!

“Here, there will be three underground levels!

“The first level will be Lin Chuyin’s elementary-stage laboratory. It will mainly research various types of small inventions, and it’ll responsible for its creation and inventions. This level will occupy a total space of 10 by 10 meters underground. The entrance will be from Lin Chuyin’s laboratory around the mountainous area of the school.

“The second level is the real technological development region. It will mainly focus on researching technology for civil use, including the modification of the uses of the technological equipment and the development of core technology for civil purposes. The entrance is on the other side, a secret door in the underground of the relaxation center in the school.”

Hearing up to this point, Hong Dali was speechless.

This imagination, opening a secret door in the relaxation center? Massage on top and technology below?

“Good! It’s really good!” Hong Dali resolutely gave a thumbs up. “We can ask the police to frequently come and ensure security as well!”

“Haha, little rascal, you’re quite smart.” The Bureau Chief roared with laughter. “This is called doing the unexpected and taking others by surprise. Who would think that a scientific research base would be under the relaxation center? Moreover, the customer volume in the relaxation center is large, so it won’t attract attention.”

Exactly, who wouldn’t keep a low profile when coming to this health care area. Everyone would behave stealthily like a thief—if you were a spy, you wouldn’t know who’s the scientist and who’s coming to get big health care either...

The Bureau Chief continued, “The third level is meant to focus on developing the new age military equipment. The entrance of this level will be at the inner area of Tianjing Mountain for now. Previously, we had discovered a cave at the foot of one of the mountains at Tianjing Mountain. The inner part of the cave leads all the way down and it’s very deep. It’s very suitable to be an entrance for a military factory. However, there are too many small caves in there, and at the moment, we haven’t explored them all yet. So, we’re not sure where its paths lead to.”

Lastly, the Bureau Chief concluded, “Therefore, at the present moment, it’s a school on the surface but a research base underground. It’s relatively safe and doesn’t attract attention.”

“That, Uncle Chief.” Hong Dali stared with wide eyes. “You’re not thinking of researching into nuclear bombs and bomb the entire school to pieces one day, right?!”

“We can’t do that.” The Bureau Chief smiled and shook his head. “After all, this place will be developed into a housing area, so our main research direction is towards stability and safety, so we can’t deal with any explosive things.”

“Oh, that’s good, that’s good.” Upon hearing what the Bureau Chief said, Hong Dali suddenly thought of his newly acquired “machine breakdown, assembly, and transformation” ability. Thus, he carefully asked, “If you develop something good, can you give me some? For example, if you develop a new car model or whatnot, give me one or two hundred of them—I can spend money to buy them as well!”

“How many?!” The Bureau Chief’s hung open. “One or two hundred?!”

“Ah, I’m just saying it for fun. A few will do as well, you know.” Hong Dali pointed outside. “I have quite a lot more lackeys now...”

“We’ll talk about it by then.” The Bureau Chief copied the underground blueprint into the computer, then ejected the USB driver. “If you’re satisfied with the style on the ground, we’ll do it accordingly. I’ve come for quite a long time now, come, bring me out to take a look. I heard that you’ve started some things up again recently. You’re planning to invest 50 million to film a computer-animated film?”

“Ah, yes! Then let’s go out and take a look.” Hong Dali carried Quentin and led the way.

Afterward, once the two of them had left, the Bureau Chief was depressed—Hong Dali directly gave a card to Ling Xiaoyi. “Distribute this small red packet of 10 million USD. I’m not used to spending US dollars...”
