Merika, Hollywood.

Different from the undercurrent of tension at Heavenly State, currently, in order to deal against the full CG movie with a 50 million investment by Hong Dali, they were extremely busy. Of course, they weren’t blindly busy. After a period of increasing investments and starting operations in full force, some effects had come into place—after all, it was no joke to increase the investment to such a huge sum of 50 million.

There had already been so many round table conferences that they had lost count.

In order to deal with the upcoming challenge, the few film magnates in Hollywood were studying into their future countermeasures almost every day. After all, the issue this time concerned the precious position of the king of movies in the world. Thus, they couldn’t take it lightly.

“James, how are things progressing regarding your ‘Magic Age’?” In the conference room, one person asked. “We’re not very sure about how things are progressing at Hong Dali’s side, but what we’re very clear of is that we must ensure to do our best on our side.”

“Yes, currently, because the number of investments is high enough, things are progressing very quickly.” James grinned. “And what makes me most happy is that our development team has currently already successfully researched and developed the perfect 3D filming technology, and now they’re currently converting the video. After the movie has been screened, all the cinemas in Merika will screen the movie in the 3D version.”

“God, 3D technology!” Once James said that everyone in the entire conference room exclaimed in surprise. A 3D filming technology, it could only be counted as a rough theory previously, and there were quite a lot of people that had tried it before, but the effects that were filmed were extremely unsatisfactory. Now that they heard this, everyone instantly came to realize that in the battle of movies this time, they’d definitely benefit greatly from it!

That was 3D technology, making the scene seem like reality. It was not on the same level as an ordinary movie that was played on the screen.

“Speaking of which, I have to thank that prodigal Hong Dali.” James became prouder the more he spoke.

“Hahaha, our script has cool magic skills coupled with 3D effects.” Everyone laughed heartily as well. “By then, we’ll see how that Hong Dali is going to deal with it. What use is there no matter how pretty the Mechanical Holy Garment is? Will it be more attractive than a 3D movie?”

After everyone laughed for a while more, one of them said in a deep voice, “Everyone, keep quiet first. I have something to say.”

Upon hearing what that person said, the entire conference room became silent. That person slowly continued, “I’ve carefully studied into this Hong Dali. He’s very good at creating miracles. Many a time, when everyone thought that he wouldn’t make it, somehow he can manage to greatly turn the tables around. Just like the previous time, we all thought that the box office of ‘Pugilistic World’ would plunge, but eventually, who would have thought that it would increase so fiercely? So this time, everyone, please remember not to underestimate the enemy. Else, perhaps we’ll suffer a huge setback.”

“Yes, thanks for the reminder.” Being able to climb to this position proved that James wasn’t a fool. He sternly said, “Currently, everyone must work in unity, and if you have any good technology, you must share it with the rest. I’ll share my 3D film shooting technology with everyone as well. This time, it concerns the glory of Hollywood. If I fail, I reckon everyone will suffer as well. So this time, if you have any good things, take them out and don’t hide it from the rest. If you do that, it will stir up big trouble.”

“We understand this,” One person smiled. “Thus, what I’m thinking of is to gather all the teams together to carry out research together. At least, if we’ve had some small conflicts between some of us previously, please don’t take it to heart.”

“Agree!” “Agree!” “For Merika, for the glory of Hollywood!”

Tianjing City, Chenhui Building.

“Young Master,” Zhang Cai stood in front of Hong Dali and reported in a small voice. “According to the latest news locally, Ko Gohon contacted Miss Tai Yajing and planned to promote Miss Tai Yajing back to the status of the number one female celebrity in the entertainment business. However, Miss Tai Yajing rejected the offer.”

“Oh…” Hong Dali’s head lay on Li Nianwei’s lap, as he curiously asked, “Who’s Tai Yajing?”

“Uh…” Zhang Cai was obviously at a loss for words for a moment. Then, she hurriedly explained to Hong Dali. “She was the most popular female celebrity before Nianwei debuted. But ever since Nianwei started following Young Master, Tai Yajing lost her number one status. I was actually rather surprised that she rejected Ko Gohon’s offer. Initially, I thought that she would be very willing to accept his offer.”

“Oh, I remember. Back then, it seems like I did see her once.” Hong Dali thought for a while, then smiled and said, “Does our Holy Warriors of the Goddess still have any vacancy? If there is, give her a small role. She didn’t stand at Ko Gohon’s side to oppose me, she deserves a reward!”

Looks like Tai Yajing’s choice was quite correct—there would definitely only be benefits by following Hong Dali. Such a simple thing on her part had already allowed her to exchange it for a small role in a 50 million full CG movie, Holy Warriors of the Goddess. With her status in the industry, that character would definitely bring about big potential!

Of course, it was a small matter as to what Tai Yajing would think about it. Hong Dali, instead, sensed that there was something amiss with this. “Looks like Ko Gohon is planning to go head to head against me, and his first step is to compete with me in the entertainment business?”

“Currently, it looks like it’s the case.” Zhang Cai nodded. “After the failure of getting Tai Yajing to work with him, Ko Gohon contacted another female celebrity with strong ability in the industry, Min Feiyao. I heard that this time, he’s invested 100 million USD and plans to make Min Feiyao into the number one female celebrity in Heavenly State to replace Nianwei.”

Upon hearing Zhang Cai’s words, Li Nianwei only smiled. Tang Muxin anxiously asked, “Looks like he has quite the big ambition! Dali, what do you plan to do? We can ask Sister Nianwei to hold a few more concerts to maintain her popularity.”

“Oh, not interested.” Hong Dali humphed. “My Sister Nianwei doesn’t care about that mere title anyway. Right, Sister Nianwei?”

“Hehe, it’s fine as long as I can follow Young Master. I’m not really concerned about other things.” Li Nianwei nodded. “In fact, I’ve never thought of becoming the number one person in the entertainment business. I only feel that I’m very happy when I’m with Young Master. That’s enough.”

“Exactly like what I thought, heh heh.” Hong Dali sniffled.

Tang Muxin thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, “Using 100 million USD to prop a female celebrity to number one position in the industry? That’s possible, but the problem is what use is there to do so. Our Sister Nianwei is so famous that she doesn’t even need to think about how to earn money, hee hee.”

“So,” Hong Dali wasn’t the least concerned. “This Ko Gohon only knows about coveting an empty title. I’m really at a loss for words as to how to criticize him, what use do those empty titles have?”

Zhang Cai thought for a while and asked, “Then, Young Master, you’ll just let this matter slide?”

“Yes, I don’t have time to be bothered about him.” Hong Dali turned his body. “How’s the filming of our movie going? Actually, I’m not very concerned about how the movie turns out—the most important thing is the Mechanical Holy Garment! Mechanical Holy Garment! That’s what I want the most!”

“I knew it…” Tang Muxin face-palmed. “Dali, you’re filming the movie just for the sake of getting this Holy Garment, right?”

“If course!” Hong Dali curiously asked, “If not, why would I film a movie…”

Alright, now Tang Muxin had clearly understood Hong Dali—everything that this fellow started up was just for the sake of fun. If not for that, he’d definitely not be interested…

“Miss Chuyin’s speed of researching recently is very fast.” Zhang Cai smiled. “Though she still doesn’t have many emotions, it looks like ever since the last time she smiled, her entire state of mind has indeed changed a lot. Oh right, Young Master, when are you going to see her today?”

Zhang Cai was referring to the incident where Hong Dali helped Lin Chuyin move her facial muscles. Currently, only Hong Dali could do that. It was definitely impossible for other people to help with that since, at the moment, Lin Chuyin didn’t really feel comfortable with other people.

“Oh… what time is it now?” Hong Dali asked, “Wait till after lunchtime. I’m quite hungry now and feeling weak…”

“11:10 AM.” Tang Muxin looked at her watch. “Speaking of which, Dali, can’t you look at the time by yourself since you have a watch?”

“I’m lazy.” Hong Dali answered matter-of-factly. “It’s still early, I’ll go and sleep for a while first. Inform me again if there’s any news.” As he spoke, he looked at Little Meow in Tang Muxin’s arms. “Little Meow has grown quite a lot now. Sigh, I don’t know when the mechanical limbs will be developed, look at how pitiful it is…”

At the mention of Little Meow, Tang Muxin pouted. “I don’t know too, Little Meow is so pitiful… Alright, Dali, you sleep first. I’ll bring Little Meow to play for a while.”

“Go, go.”

After everyone had left, Hong Dali adjusted his body to a more comfortable position on Li Nianwei’s lap, as he smiled and asked, “Sister Nianwei, do you have any new songs lately?”

“I’ve composed a few melodies.” Li Nianwei smiled. “But I haven’t written the lyrics yet. Young Master, have you written any new songs?”

“Oh, there is one. I composed it when I was bored in school. I’ll write it down for you later.” Hong Dali mumbled, “I’ll sleep for a while first. I’m so tired, these few days of playing around have made me a little tired…”

“Ok.” After Li Nianwei said that, she took out that reformed smartphone and started to read novels. “Young Master, the battery of this smartphone is really lasting. I haven’t needed to charge the battery for quite a few days.”

“Of course, I have to give good things to Sister Nianwei.” Hong Dali turned his body around.

Though he appeared to be fast asleep, in actuality, he’d opened the System. These few days, he’d been monitoring the Squandering Value. Now, it had already reached 30 million!

Squandering 30 million meant that there were 30 attribute points, and he could exchange for a science and technology blueprint!

The voice of the System sounded—

“Host currently has 30 attribute points, please choose item for exchange.”

“Exchange for neural-connection technology blueprint!”
