Sister Nianwei’s abilities are definitely trustworthy.
Ling Xiaoyi smiled and said,
The regional finals will commence in three days. Sister Nianwei, you must get a good result and surprise the Young Master when he’s back!


Definitely!
Upon mentioning Hong Dali, Li Nianwei’s eyes were filled with unlimited confidence for the first time.
I will not disappoint the Young Master!


Right.
Ling Xiaoyi turned to look at Li Yang.
What about your side, Li Yang?

Lackey Li Yang replied,
I have visited a few nearby places fit for squandering. The one I finally decided on is a casino named Meizhi Casino. I feel like it will be good for one of us to pose as a hopeless gambling addict.

A hopeless gambling addict was the closest thing to a squanderer. After all, at a place like a casino, nobody would bat an eye at how much money was lost.



Alright, good.
Ling Xiaoyi instantly agreed and said,
I personally recommend Heartbreaker Ferguson. He will be responsible for losing money in the future. Everyone else will act as his lackeys. Let’s act as ourselves and nobody will suspect a thing.


Sister Xiaoyi is a genius!
Li Yang exclaimed.
Ferguson is no ordinary person, he surely will not disappoint the Young Master!


Asking me to be a prodigal?!
Ferguson, or Lucifer, pointed at his nose.
I’m fine with earning money, but squandering? I won’t be as good as Dali. Will this really work?

In his mind, it was simple to earn money. He could provide for his whole life’s spendings anytime with his skills. However, when it came to squandering, he did not have the inhuman skills of Hong Dali. That was not something an ordinary person was capable of.

Just don’t lose too much.
Ling Xiaoyi smiled and slapped him lightly on the shoulders.
The Young Master always hated gambling. We wouldn’t be doing this if we weren’t in such desperate times. Just don’t gamble our entire family fortune away.


Alright.
Ferguson sighed.
I will try to lose less… Squandering is seriously very difficult…

Everyone nodded in agreement.
Everyone knew how to squander simply. It was just about spending money, how difficult could it be?
However, it was unheard of for someone like Hong Dali to somehow gain more money and power the more he squandered. It was never done before, and would probably never be done again in the future. Nobody would squander more professionally than Hong Dali. Even Lucifer with an IQ of above 180 had to bow down to this feat.
After the initial plan was confirmed, Lucifer brought Li Yang and the rest to the casino to squander. Li Nianwei had just finished preparations for Sing! Milky Way. Everyone went their separate ways.



If it were simple squandering, Lucifer would still be pretty confident. However, these were special times. He was squandering on behalf of Hong Dali. How then should he squander most effectively? How much should he squander away in one night? Honestly, even with Lucifer’s intelligence, he had no clues.
He would easily attract attention if he squandered too much. Yet, the effects on Dali would be insignificant if he squandered too little. That was not all, the most crucial thing was that he needed to squander with the style of Hong Dali.
He had just discovered that squandering was an art!

Li Yang, where is the casino? It should be nearby and fit our stature.
Lucifer asked.
We need to pose as prodigals now. The classic Young Master and great hedonist. It wouldn’t make sense for us to walk too far. However, we shouldn’t be too close either, we won’t be able to show our statures then. Anyways… you lead the way.

Hong Dali’s splurging ways were hard to learn. If Hong Dali was here, he would say this:
Li Yang, give the casino servers 10,000 each. Ask them to come to pick me up.

Well, squandering was a state of mind, normal people could not learn it!

Alright.
Even though Lucifer was just temporarily squandering on behalf of Hong Dali, everything was done for the Young Master. Li Yang was indeed born to be a lackey.
If we fly East for three minutes, then turn Southeast for two minutes, there will be a huge shining golden building. That will be the casino.

And the starship set off.
This time everyone was purely focused on squandering. Hence, they did not have too much pressure and were able to enjoy the view below.


This region was relatively far from the Galaxy Aristocrat Lord’s Mansion, roughly a half-hour flight. Therefore, the buildings looked similar to those on Earth.
A few big hotels, fancy night clubs, pedestrian streets, various office buildings. Although they looked much more high tech, the general layout remained similar.
Soon the starship came to a halt. Li Yang smiled and said,
Young Master Lucifer, we are here at the Meizhi Casino.

Lucifer looked outside the starship window and saw a gigantic casino over 100 meters tall. The roof of the casino was made to be the landing pad for starships. Plenty of beautiful elves were at the reception. Bright neon lights lit up the whole area. There was constant traffic of socialites coupled with successful-looking men streaming in and out of the building. Lucifer thought carefully about how Hong Dali would have behaved here.
Finally, he came to the conclusion that Hong Dali was indeed a prodigy. Although they had spent so much time together, he had absolutely no clue how Hong Dali would behave.

Whatever.
Lucifer shook his head helplessly.
We will never understand the genius of people like him. Let’s head down first.

Everyone followed the elf receptionist downstairs into the casino.
Because of the starships, the casino games only got bigger as they headed further down.
The games on the top levels all hosted small bets of a few dollars. The mid-levels were for the hundreds. Further down, the games would start out at tens of thousands.

There are plenty of gambling games here.
Lucifer scanned the surroundings. Games of all types and varieties were available here. He had a cheeky smile.
Let us begin!



The entire universe shared essentially the same methods for gambling. The differences, though present, were minute.
Soon, Lucifer found a gambling game where he had to pilot a space carrier and shoot Zergs.
This was a holographic projection. He had to exchange for chips and insert them into the machine. The holographic projection then projected the Zerg army. The player had to control the turrets on the space carrier and eliminate the Zergs. It was similar to the game Uncharted Waters back on Hong Dali’s original world.
These game machines were highly popular as the game was about fighting the Zergs, who were feared widely by most humans in the universe. Hundreds of these machines were all occupied in the casino hall. There were even some machines overfilled by tens of people in a single game.

Let’s start with this one.
Someone ran out of points and left the machine. Lucifer sat down and said,
Go and exchange for some chips, around a hundred thousand will do.


Alright.
Li Yang hurriedly ran off to exchange for change as the squandering was about to start. Soon he came back with a smile.
Young Master Lucifer, the chips are all here.


Alright, put ten thousand in first.
Lucifer nodded.
Let’s try it out first and test our luck.


Okay!
Li Yang directly inserted ten thousand chips.
Hong Dali would have been outraged if he was here.
You claim to be helping me squander, yet you only put in ten thousand a game. What the heck are you doing? Status, watch your status man!


Of course, the ten thousand dollars that Lucifer put in was no small amount to an ordinary person.
Hence, they started the game.
At first, things went well. The ten thousand chips were gone in around ten minutes.
However, the problem soon emerged. Everyone forgot what kind of person Lucifer was. He was a hacker technological geek with an IQ of over 180. He only had one rule when he played games, that he must feel good. If he did not feel good, nobody should.
At this moment, he only had ten thousand chips left. He became extremely irritated.
Hence, he performed a little sleight of hand on the final ten thousand chips. As a hacker technological geek, it was natural for him to bring a few high tech gadgets. After all, he was not simply wasting his time at the Galaxy Alliance Center.
The fun then began…
Lucifer managed to hit some Zergs on every single one of his shots. It did not matter whether the Zergs were ordinary or high-level, whether they were worth a dollar or a hundred. After he spent his magazine fully, his chip count jumped straight from ten thousand to over five hundred sixty thousand chips.

Hong Dali was depressed watching his Health Points decrease one by one. Suddenly, an extra Health Point popped up! Hong Dali instantly broke into a wide smile.
Hahaha, good, good, it seems like my lackeys are beginning to squander!

Before he could finish his celebrations, there was another
Bam!
sound. Hong Dali broke down as he took another look…

Oh my god!
Hong Dali yelled.
I told you to squander, not to earn money! What the heck are you doing? Who the heck is this? You are not helping me squander, but helping me make money instead. Are you trying to kill me?

After such a long time, he still had ninety-six Health Points, with the addition just now, there were ninety-seven. In the end, he suddenly lost five together in an instant. He was left with only ninety-two points now!
Damn!
Things did not end yet. After a few more minutes, the number dropped again. It went down to eighty-seven!
Damn!

Over at the casino’s side.
Lucifer and the group were doing fine at first. However, people soon discovered how strange Lucifer was behaving.
A few one-shot one-kills could be explained by luck. However, an entire sequence where no shots were missed, which resulted in a screen full of Zerg corpses and shiny flying chips, was simply unbelievable.
Soon, the casino security guards came over.
Sir, can you please stop for a while?


Oh, fine.
Lucifer stood up instantly. He had to give the security guards some respect.
What is it?
