Chapter 773: The Mysterious Old Man

“Gate, when did you have another son? What does he do?” The old man leisurely walked in and sat on the sofa. As he spoke, he raised his hand forward and a door appeared out of nowhere!

When the door opened, there were all sorts of alcohol inside. He took one and threw it to Mister Gate. “Speaking of which, your habit of accepting people as your sons have not changed at all.”

Taking over the wine, Mister Gate looked and suddenly pouted. “This Fragrant Pomegranate Bloom wine should be drunk with a jade cup. As the saying goes, a jade bowl holds amber light. If we use a jade cup or a jade bowl, it will add color to the wine.”

“Pu—!!!” The old man nearly choked to death hearing that. He coughed violently for a while and said in shock, “Gate, when did you become so civilized?! A jade bowl holds amber light, this phrase brings an aesthetic image to my mind!”

“Wahahahaha! Of course!” Gate laughed out loud. “My newest son taught me that. How is it? Am I good?”

“Great, not bad.” The old man nodded. “You have some knowledge.”

“What do you mean some knowledge. It’s very knowledgeable!” Gate chuckled as he touched his chin. “Speaking of which, what are you doing here instead of guarding Beta Planet?”

“People need to relax sometimes.” The old man smiled and sipped the wine. “This wine is not bad.”

“Rubbish.” Gate pouted. “You are the only person I can get along among the Galaxy Aristocrats. The things you do are still bearable. Others, hehe, if they dare to show off in front of me, I will punch them! Tell me, I don’t need to give face to such a small Honorary Aristocrat yet. What’s up?”

“You are the number one interstellar pirate kind, indeed. I can’t hide anything from you.” The old man sighed and said, “What I wanted to ask you is, are you the one who passed level thirty of the Tower of Trials?”

Usually, for someone of such status, they would not come to visit unless they needed something.

As a small Honorary Aristocrat, this mysterious old man had no reason to owe someone a favor.

“Do you think I care about the stupid Tower of Trials?” Gate grabbed a jade cup and poured himself a drink. “I just passed twenty levels for fun, and to get some wine from my new son. I’m not interested in the higher levels. Why? Did you suspect it was me?”

“Somewhat. But when I thought about it, not really.” The old man drank a mouthful of wine as well. “With your capability, there was no need to play along with the rest. Could it be one of your sons, then?”

“I don’t think so.” Gate touched his beard and said, “My sons are not as capable. I’ve heard about the super genius. Fifteen minutes one level, even I’m not so fast. They might possibly make it to level twenty-three, twenty-four, or twenty-five. But level thirty, definitely not.”

To have a bunch of sons who were so brave and strong, it was no wonder this mysterious old man did not dare to fight him.

This was strength. Facing the number one interstellar pirate kind, as a Galaxy Aristocrat, this old man was not confident.

“Aye.” The old man sighed and shook his head helplessly. “It’s a pity. Such a super genius appeared in the Milky Way, but we were not able to find this person after so long. This has the Galaxy Aristocrats all worried. There is no clue at all. Who this person is, if it’s a man or a woman, young or old, no one knows.”

It was rare for such a super genius to appear in the Milky Way. But this person could not be located. This made the old man feel aggrieved—was it easy for the genius?

“Everyone has their own thinking.” Mister Gate chuckled. “It’s better for some things to go with the flow. Look at me, although my new son is quite the prodigal, I quite like him. Isn’t that good enough?”

“Prodigal?” The old man smiled when he heard that. “How so?”

“Do you see this shop?” Mister Gate pointed at the weapons shop. “This weapon has three attribute gems embedded in it. Two Strength +9, one Reflexes +8. My son actually said to sell this for one thousand Galaxy Dollars. If he’s not a prodigal, what is he?”

“Is this true?” The old man’s eyes lit up when he heard that. He looked left and right, then look at the crowd standing outside the shop orderly. He closed his eyes and thought carefully, then suddenly slapping his thigh. “Your new son is quite smart! I think you might have an inkling? Otherwise, you wouldn’t be so happy!”

“Wahahahahaha.” Gate laughed out loud. “It’s easier to speak to smart people, indeed!”

He slowly said, “My new son seems very playful, but he’s not as simple as he looks. I don’t know if he really got these shops to squander, but he always seems to be on the right rhythm of things. That is powerful, very powerful! Not anyone can do that.”

“These stores are big and lavish enough to sell only one piece of equipment a day. This is a very good gimmick. One piece of equipment sold for only one thousand Galaxy Dollars. Very prodigal and eye-catching! All pieces of equipment are equipped with gems, with a minimum of +8 per attribute gem. This firmly grasps a person’s desire to take advantage of cheap deals. It is very easy to gain popularity.”

“What’s the most important thing when it comes to doing business? Popularity! With popularity, everything is much simpler, right?”

When the mysterious man heard that, he slapped his thigh and said, “Yes, yes. Your new godson is very smart. With popularity, you can auction this equipment, and put up a few more things for sale, and they will easily get sold. It’s not easy to come up with something like that! What do you intend to do next?”

As both were impressed by the “new godson’s” ideas, Mister Gate suddenly said, “Next, I want to see what my new son intends to do.” He chuckled. “I shall follow the instructions. I will sell all the pieces of equipment for one thousand apiece. I will not increase the price nor put them up for auction. I won’t put the other pieces of equipment up for sale as well. I want to see what other money-making ideas this son will have. Wahahahahaha!”

“You…” The mysterious old man helplessly said, “I’ve never seen someone go against their sons in this manner. Haha!”

“Life is meant to play and mess around.” Gate seemed to be in a good mood. “Anyway, he’s an Honorary Aristocrat and he’s rich. This should not matter too much to him.”

“Honorary Aristocrat?” The mysterious old man touched his chin. “Oh yes, what is his name?”

“Dali.” Gate gulped down his wine. “He’s paying me one hundred and twenty thousand per month. Wahahaha!”

“This name sounds familiar.” The mysterious old man thought for a while and suddenly exclaimed, “Is he eighteen or nineteen years old, looks very kind, always smiling. One glance and you can tell he’s not scheming? Orange-level Honorary Aristocrat?”

“Gold-level Double Honorary Aristocrat.” Gate was very proud to talk about his son. “He’s rather capable.”

“He advanced so quickly.” The old man nodded. “To become a Double Honorary Aristocrat… Did he pull strings? Don’t tell me his relationship with Tianzong is quite good?”

“That’s right.” Gate smiled. “That’s what I heard.”

“This is really…” The old man didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. “This young man is interesting…” Speaking up to this point, he pulled open the door and said, “Alright, enough talking. I’ll go take a look at my son. It’s been a while.”

“Go, go.” Gate waved his hands. “Remember to bring good cups with the alcohol next time!”

The old man: “…”

When the old man left, the great Mister Gate dashed outside and waved his hand. “Come in, first come first serve!”

Human beings died in pursuit of wealth and birds died in pursuit of food. With the Galaxy Aristocrat gone, this great Mister Gate was able to control the situation. If not now, when? In just two seconds, a lucky person held the equipment and swung it around crazily. “Hahahaha! I got it, I got it! Hahahaha!”

…

Star Harbor, level twenty.

Tianyi, who got snubbed by Mister Gate, sat leisurely on a chair. He attracted the attention of countless girls. Apart from the fact that he was rather good-looking, the important thing was his identity as an Honorary Aristocrat.

That was full of countless auras. Just the identity alone represented power, wealth, and status.

Heroes were attracted to beautiful ladies and beautiful ladies liked heroes.

“This Dali, as a gold-level Double Honorary Aristocrat he did something so prodigal. Luckily I discovered it early. Otherwise, I would have suffered a big loss today!

“To become a Double Honorary Aristocrat, even if he pulled strings, he should be quite capable. Other Honorary Aristocrats will definitely want to use him as a stepping stone to advance. But I’m not so stupid. To come up with something like that, even if he’s rich, there must be something behind it. En, from what I saw, this shop has become popular. If they managed to get better pieces of equipment and gems, their popularity will be sure to increase further. By then, no matter what they put up for sale, the money will come rolling in.

“This Dali has quite the brains. It seems he will grow further. Maybe not to black or white-level Double Honorary Aristocrat, but he will definitely be able to advance further.

“And he is able to have such a strong backing, his family background must be very powerful as well. I must make use of this point.

“Although I lost face today, hehe. Losing a bit of face could earn me such knowledge, this is a good thing. With this kid around, things will be easy in the future. Hahaha!”
