Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

“Ah, Sister Zishan is here.” Hong Dali instantly asked someone to get her a chair. Then, he said, “I’m planning to ask you to help me draw a dozen or so armor designs. This armor is very powerful, especially its appearance. It definitely needs to be golden and shiny, and it’s best if it can shine others blind!”

One should know that Saint Seiya didn’t have a very good storyline. What really attracted the viewers and readers was the several differently designed holy garments. Those were really the romance of men.

“Wait a while for me to draw it.” Hong Dali took up a pen and drew on the paper crookedly.

Speaking of which, this fellow was a standard useless person, the type that wasn’t good at anything.

His singing was off-key and out of tune, his studies were only passable and he basically didn’t listen in class…

Even for drawing, he could only just barely draw an outline. It could only just be made out that it was a human with armor on him. Even his lackeys couldn’t bear to watch his drawing. Young Master’s drawing skill is really amazing, as awesome as always—since I can’t tell what he is drawing anyway!

Almost half a day later ¹ , when everyone was already sweating profusely from watching his drawing, Hong Dali finally completed it—they could barely tell that it had a head, two elbows, and two legs. It actually looked quite cartoon-like…

This cartoon character wore a crooked set of armor, and they could roughly recognize the various pieces. Surprisingly, from the overall appearance, this drawing was still quite interesting…

“Dali, is this drawing of the future world’s male cubicle symbol?” Tang Muxin asked.

“This…” Hong Dali angrily said, “I’m not telling you!”

“Hehe, your drawing really sucks!” Tang Muxin instantly laughed lovably and very happily. “I was just kidding. At least, I can tell that if we disregard this small person, the armor still seems quite unique.”

“Isn’t that for sure?” Hong Dali proudly said, “This holy garment looks like this when it’s worn. When it’s taken off, it can transform into the form of a Pegasus, it’s really cool!”

“What Young Master means is that when this armor is taken off, the different pieces can combine together, is that it?” This time, Jin Zishan really understood. “This set that Young Master drew is Pegasus, are there any others?”

“Yes, there is!” Hong Dali nodded and said, “There’s also swan, fairy, wolf, and scorpion!”

Tang Muxin: “…”

Li Nianwei “…”

Jin Zishan “…”

The rest “…”

Jin Zishan felt that it was a bit difficult. “Young Master, the holy garments that these five people are wearing, they aren’t of the same type?”

It was no wonder she asked this. Pegasus, swan, wolf, and scorpion could still be considered to be animals, but what was a fairy doing there?

“Er… That’s true…” Hong Dali touched his chin. “We should make them all of the same type… Then, let’s do this, just make them all animals. Aries, Pegasus, Swan, Ox, and Cancer!”

“OK…” This time, it was better by a little bit. Jin Zishan nodded and said, “I can try drawing them. Oh right, Young Master, who is the main character? I have to design him better.”

“The main character?” Hong Dali started touching his chin again.

At times like these, one could tell that Hong Dali was different from the others. If it were some other people who were transmigrated into this world, they would definitely just wholly use the original plot. They would definitely choose Pegasus as the main character. However, Hong Dali, this superprodigal, was obviously someone who didn’t play by the book.

What meaning would there be in just wholly copying the story from his previous life? Therefore, Hong Dali very directly decided. “Let the Ox be the main character! Ox, yup, I like this name, haha! I have even thought of the theme song!”

“You have even thought of the theme song?” Tang Muxin surprisingly asked, “What is the name of the theme song?”

“The theme song shall be called ‘I Am Ai Muti’!” Expectedly, Hong Dali used another classic cartoon’s theme song from his previous life. “I’m defending!! Deng~ deng deng~ deng deng deng~~ My name is Ai Muti, a body of steel, I block, I dodge, I use my body to protect you! Don’t be afraid anymore, I’m still standing, my sisters and brothers, don’t save you firepower! Everyone said that T is strong, he is the highest honor in the team, no one will fight for your position, explode your cosmos, give you all the enemy! Attack, don’t hold back, heal, make sure I am invin~ cible! OT, I will cover you, don’t worry! Shield wall, be ready, everyone full fire!”

When he finished this ugly song of his, everyone was already laughing till they were banging the table with their hands.

Actually, this song that was adapted from the original “Pegasus’s Dream” was still quite impassioning. However, once Hong Dali sang it, the feeling totally changed, it sounded like one-person crosstalk…

Luckily, at least Hong Dali managed to convey the feel of the song…

The crucial thing was the lyrics. Small children would definitely love it—since Saint Seiya didn’t exist in this world anyway, no one would know what this song originally sounded like, right?

The stuff that Hong Dali adapted into was all quite down to earth. He changed the setting, plot, and everything. Just this cartoon alone included concepts from Saint Seiya, I Am MT and Iron Man. Combined with the background of Heavenly State, it was indeed awesome and cool!

Now that the main character and theme song were decided on, everyone laughed for quite a while before Tang Muxin grinned and asked, “Dali, you are really talented. Then, where should we film it at? And what characters are there in it, who is going to act them?”

“The venue?” Hong Dali touched his chin, thought for a while and said, “Just film it at the outer area of Tianjing Mountain. Since we are going to build a sci-fi city there anyway… I think we can just use the New Lanxiang school to film it. Yup, we can just build the golden temple of the 12 zodiacs there and dig a large lake in the center of the school. Next time, Big Turtle can just swim there, hehe.”

OK, looks like they could even save on the filming scene this time…

Then, it was time to announce the cast. Hong Dali grinned and counted on his fingers the people he knew around him. “Sister Nianwei naturally will act as the Goddess. Yup, Mu Zixiao shall act the Tiger. Geezer Wang’s kungfu is the best, he will act the most powerful Rat. I wonder if Liu Mingxin has the time to act the more cool and handsome Dragon. Also, there’s that Liang Yifeng who is especially good at reading poetry, this fellow definitely has to act the Chicken. Haha, this one is good!”

“Then…” Then, it was the people who followed him. Hong Dali continued, “Driver, Uncle Wang, shall act as Horse. He will have a fighting scene with the Goddess’ Pegasus! As for Xinxin…” As Hong Dali reached this part, he looked at Tang Muxin until her small heart was jumping furiously and nervously said, “Dali, can I act too?”

“My Xinxin shall act as Rabbit, then.” Hong Dali laughed and said, “You will definitely be very beautiful and adorable!”

“Great!” Tang Muxin instantly cheered. This little lass who loved to perform excitedly kissed Hong Dali’s face!

“Sister Xiaoyi shall act as Goat!” Hong Dali continued to arrange. “The lackeys can each find a role to act too. We shan’t let outsiders enjoy the benefits. This way, it should be about it, hehe.”

They had such a large group of people here, there was basically enough people to fill up all the roles. Tang Muxin asked, “Dali, who are you acting?”

“Me?” Hong Dali decisively shook his head. “I’m so fragile, I shan’t join in on the fun. I will supervise the shooting scenes. I will deduct the wage of whoever dares to slack off, brouhaha!”

Everyone: “…”

Regardless of that, this cartoon movie that was probably the most unique and horseplay-like in the film’s history of Heavenly State was thus decided. Hong Dali asked Ling Xiaoyi, “Sister Xiaoyi, remember to help me calculate the cost. You know that I’m really insensitive to numbers…”

“Yes, Young Master.” Upon thinking that she would soon appear on the screens of cinemas too, Ling Xiaoyi was also very excited. “I will do my best to perform in the film.”

At this time, Jin Zishan had completed the first draft of the drawing and showed it to Hong Dali. Hong Dali was very pleased with it. “Good! Sister Zishan is really awesome indeed, the mechanical holy garment you drew is really beautiful!”

Everyone gathered around to have a look. Indeed, on a piece of white paper, a mechanical Pegasus proudly stood. Although there were only a few strokes of the pen, they could already see its main structure. It was filled with a metallic sense, and each component was stated too. Although it was still quite different from the holy warriors from his previous life, the difference wasn’t very big.

Below was the drawing of a human wearing the mechanical holy garment after it turned into armor form. The corresponding components to Pegasus form were also stated.

It wasn’t an overstatement to say that just this drawing alone helped everyone to understand what the mechanical holy garment that Hong Dali was talking about really was like.

“Sister Zishan, you are really good!” Tang Muxin exclaimed in surprise and said, “Your drawing is excellent! Hehe, of course, our Dali is awesome too. If it wasn’t for him, we wouldn’t have met you too, Sister Zishan!”

“Yes, I will never forget that it was the Young Master who saved my life.” Jin Zishan looked at Hong Dali and smiled.

The sincerity in her eyes was clearly shown.

This caused Hong Dali to feel quite shy. He sniffled and gave a dry laugh. “It’s nothing. Actually, it really was nothing. I was just planning to have a swim, hahaha, haha!”

Everyone laughed upon hearing this.

“Young Master.” At this time, Ling Xiaoyi, who was meticulously looking at the drawing, asked, “If we make the model according to this drawing, it should be quite easy. However, I’m afraid that it might be really stiff when we wear it.”

“Who said that we are going to make models for it?” Hong Dali very naturally answered, “Of course, we are using the real ones! It definitely has to be real!”

“Real ones!” This time, everyone was astonished.

Young Master is planning to create real mechanical holy garments just for shooting a film!?
