Prodigal System
Chapter 5

At this point, everyone had their own ideas; no one followed the stakes blindly.

Hong Dali rubbed his chin and pondered. We were in the VIP room. If this was in my previous world, based on a scenario like this, the betting pool should be worth at least a few million. But why do people here play so conservatively? I must have made some wrong assumptions somewhere.

The next match has already begun. Tang Muxin again started with a 500 yuan bet, and the other players followed suit for the round as well. After that, he bet another 500 yuan. After three rounds of cards are dealt, one finally appears to have a strong hand, and that person raises the bet to 1,000 yuan. At this point, those with weaker hands begin to fold.

I understand, I understand now! Seeing this drama, Hong Dali instantly understood the situation. I got something wrong about an issue here, and that is the purchasing power of the currency of this world! In my previous world, a car usually cost around 100,000 yuan, but here, it might cost only around 50,000 to 60,000 yuan or even 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. If the yuan here is equivalent to the euro in my previous world, then my previous bet of 5,000 yuan does look very luxurious. No wonder they were all scared and folded up!

Although Hong Dali knew that it might not be as excessive as he thought, he felt that it should not be too far off his estimate. Even if the purchasing power of the yuan here is not as strong as the euro in the previous world, it should be at least as strong as the U. S. dollar there.

In that case, wasting 100,000 yuan in three hours might not be as easy as he thought.

If he could not complete the mission, his current attribute points would be deducted. If he really was unlucky and ended up subtracting points from his old ability attribute ... Oh shit, then his might just be as big as a pencil tip !?

This idea caused Hong Dali to start sweating profusely. This was a matter that would affect his life-long happiness, so he couldn't be careless. Immediately, he stared closely at the cards in Tang Muxin's hand, which were the open aces and other closed cards. The other players all folded, leaving Tang Muxin to win at least one more chip worth another 5,000 yuan for this round …

Hong Dali desperately muttered something from the side. "We came here to waste, not to win. Do you really understand what it means to waste !?"

Tang Muxin snorted and smiled complacently at him, revealing two rows of dazzling white teeth. He said, "You still think that there is a chance of wasting money with me here? Do you think it'll be that easy? I'm definitely not going to let you waste today!"

As they spoke, the next round was already quite advanced in the game. This time, their hands were even better than in the last match. They have three open kings and one closed card. In this round, Tang Muxin ended up winning around 8,000 yuan or so. Seeing this, Hong Dali's eyes almost popped up as he gasped for air.

Turning to the next game, of the five cards in his hand, Tang Muxin's open card is a pair of aces and a pair of kings. The player after has three queens open, and the other players hand for this round is not too bad either. Hong Dali was delighted and muttered to himself. "Fold, fast and fold! If we fold for this round, I should be able to lose at least several tens of thousands of yuan. When that happens, I'll already finish my mission!"

Right now, Tang Muxin had already bet ten thousand yuan into the pool. Since everyone's cards were pretty good, the other gamblers at the table followed suit. In the end, it was Tang Muxin who could not stand the pressure and went all in to bet. That alone alone made his total bet to over 30,000 yuan. At this rate, he would definitely successfully complete his mission today!

Then, at the next moment, Hong Dali completely destroyed Tang Muxin's — closed card turned out to be an ace! His ace card full of kings had swept across the entire table. Only this game alone had won it over 100,000 yuan.

They can't go on like this anymore!

Hong Dali could see the progress blades of the mission in his mind. Those few prominent words almost caused him to have a heart attack: "Current wastage rate: - 125,500 yuan."

At least he couldn't hope for this to happen. He came here intending to shop and waste, not to earn money! Without much further ado, Hong Dali pulled Tang Muxin and left while saying furiously, "Do you know how to play? We came here to waste, not to win money! What situation is actually good enough has been completely muddled by you . How can I waste now !? "

Faced with Hong Dali's madness, Tang Muxin did not feel the slightest bit angry. While walking, he proudly said, "You still think that you can waste your money with me? Do you think it'll be that easy?"

"All right, all right, you win!" Hong Dali pulled his hair in frustration. "Let's change locations to be squandered! We should not play something that depends on luck! If we want to play, let's play something that we can definitely waste our money on!"

Having just been possessed at the game had completely disrupted Hong Dali's plan to waste, Tang Muxin felt quite happy about it, and with a smile, she said, "If you want to use other methods to waste, the only thing we can do is go shopping. But it's getting very late, the more upscale branded stores are closing today. You probably won't be able to waste it again today. "

Based on the purchasing power of the yuan in this world and considering the 120,000 yuan or so won in the casino, Hong Dali had to waste at least 230,000 yuan to complete the mission. If the accessory stores were closed and she chose to buy things from the supermarket, she thought she would have to empty the entire supermarket to spend that kind of money.

Unfortunately, before Hong Dali moved into his current body, he was considered a well-behaved child. He is good at saving and has no experience wasting it. To him, treating his schoolmates or friends with food that cost several hundred dollars was already the most extravagant action he could think of. But now he had to waste over 200,000 yuan. How much should he eat to blow this amount of money? More importantly, if he could not find the most expensive restaurant in town, it would definitely give him. Besides, it's too late now. There won't be enough time to do it this way at all!

What should I do, what should I do …

"Let's go!" Hong Dali flicked his finger loudly and said, "Let's go to Ye Lai Xiang to waste!"

"Ye Lai Xiang's? Night club !?" Hearing Hong Dali suggest such a place, Tang Muxin was so shocked that her bright eyes widened into perfectly round circles. "Why did you go to such a place? You just turned 18, why would you visit such a place !?"

"Do you even have to ask? I'll be there to waste, of course!" Hong Dali replied without further ado. "I'm a lost child! And as a lost and rich kid, don't you think that I'm still lacking something?"

"What ... what are you lacking?" Tang Muxin was completely extinguished by Hong Dali's dominant words. "What are you lacking?"

"Some henchmen, of course! If you don't even know that, how can you waste it with me in the future !?" Hong Dali led the way down the stairs and said, "Look at these stairs. It's just the two of us now, right? We have to go up step by step to get up here and step by step to get down! If we had minions around, it would be different! "

"How does ... how does it differ?" Tang Muxin had been completely defeated by Hong Dali. "Is there a difference?"

Hong Dali explained proudly. "With the minions around, I can make them lift me up or piggyback me down the stairs. So, do you think it'll be the same?"

"…" Tang Muxin was really sad. After a while, he finally shouted. "You ... you stupid child!"

“Salah.” Hong Dali flicked his finger again. "I'm a super prodigy!"

…

The Hong family villa.

Old man Hong Dali sat on the sofa in the first floor living room. His father sipped the best grade Tieguanyin tea in the world and said in a low voice, "Honey, what do you think of Tang Ruisi's engagement proposal?"

Hong Dali's mother thought for a moment before replying with a smile, "That might be a plan to delay something. I can say that Muxin disliked our Dali very much. I also heard that Tang Ruisi's company is currently going through financial difficulties. From our conversation with him today, his intention to get a loan from us was quite clear. From what I observed, there was an 80% chance that she only proposed an engagement because she had no other choice. "

Hong Dali's father lit a cigarette, nodded, and said, "Yes, my opinion is the same as yours. Sigh, by the way, the relationship of the Tang family and our Hong family began in the previous generation. Even without this engagement, I wouldn't have turned it down if she had asked me for a loan. But this Tang Ruisi still did not want to owe others a favor. Sigh, when his company overcomes these difficulties in the future, do you think he will renege on engagement ? "

Hong Dali's mother smiled, looked intently at her husband, and said, "Why are you still asking me when you already know his intentions? Actually, what I worry about the most is whether they will renege on the engagement or not, but what will be our Dali in the future. As you know, his physical condition … "

Regarding this matter, Hong Dali's father could only say helplessly, "This is a difficult matter. All the doctors we consulted said that the inability of the dali ulu was congenital from birth. Even if we wanted to get an organ transplant, it wouldn't be a problem. Sigh, being a lost child is just a small matter. What I'm more worried about is that we won't have any offspring for our family branch. My brother is constantly observing our wealth, and you have never been able to again in all this time. Every family has its own difficulties to deal with. "

"Yes, I really don't know what we can do about this matter either."

They were silent until someone came suddenly to make a report. "Master, Madam, I'm here to give you both an update. Young Master Dali went to the Deborah Casino first and is now on his way to Ye Lai Xiang's nightclub."

Hong Dali's father laughed and said, "This brat is really too brave and careless. All right, you excuse me, keep an eye on him and make sure his safety isn't compromised."

"Yes sir . "

Hong Dali's mother put her lips together gently and smiled. He said, "I want to know how this kid is going to squander our money today. Sigh, she lives so carefully that she doesn't know how worried we are for her."
