Chapter 72 (1/2)
Chapter 72: So What? We Are Richtards!
“Xiaobao, don’t obey that old fellow. He has always been so brutal,” Xi Hong was a good old man. Naturally, he did not want Hong Xiaobao to become a cruel person like Meng Xianji. Xi Hong then smiled and said, “About the Rainbow Aroma Ore, you don’t have to worry about not getting it. As I said earlier, the useful material lies within the impenetrable sh.e.l.l. You can just buy it for a low price since people shouldn’t know its uses.
This old fellow has such a thick skin. However, I like his idea. Hahaha!
What Xi Hong said was right. Robbing wouldn’t be a good idea for a prince. Spending time to locate this item would be troublesome as well. The best idea was to just buy it when someone gets it. Since buying this item would require some money, Hong Xiaobao naturally needed to start earning some. Before leaving his room, Guan Juxiong shouted loudly, “Your Highness. Your Highness! Somebody reported that the plaque of our Grand Alliance has been made! Using pure gold! Pure gold!”
Hmm the plaque of my Grand Alliance is done? Well that was quick! I can’t wait to have a look! “Where is it? Bring me there to have a look!” Hong Xiaobao suddenly got excited.
“Over here,” Guan Juxiong said as he led Hong Xiaobao to the hall. Upon entering the entrance, Hong Xiaobao could see an enormous plaque lying on the ground. Everyone stood around it and could not stop talking.
“Aiya, this plaque is so domineering! And it belongs to our worthy Highness!” “Of course it would be domineering. This thing costs sixty thousand silver taels!” “Not only that, this is made using pure gold!”
“Hehe, let me have a look.” Hong Xiaobao said as he proceeded forward smilingly.
The plaque was around 5 meters wide and 2 meters long and was shone upon directly by sunlight. At the exact center of it, there wrote two words, ‘Grand Alliance’ which had the carvings of dragon and phoenix all-around. The imposing manner was exceedingly high!
This is exactly why I wanted to use pure gold! Hahahah.
“Keke, Xiaobao. I didn’t really like the idea of using pure gold just for the plaque. However, it is indeed stylis.h.!.+” Even Fang Xinghan was surprised by the looks of it. He then smiled and said, “You are indeed a rich and spoiled prince. Just by looking at this plaque, I can feel your wealth! Not to mention the words ‘Grand Alliance’. This is indeed a perfect match!”
“Of course!” Hong Xiaobao was extremely satisfied. “This is exactly what I want! Fame and reputation come first, before everything else! We have to let everyone in the world knows. We are richtards! We don’t lack of money! In fact, all we have is money!”
Qingqing then chuckled and said, “Brother Xiaobao, you are indeed an experienced person! Then when are we going to hang the plaque up?”
In the Jiang Hu, one could not hang plaques up at a random time. One could only do it on the day of sect establishment.
Hong Xiaobao touched his chin and thought for a while, “Alright, we’ll hang it up now and cover the words with red silk. I would need Uncle Fang’s help for choosing an official date. Hehe.”
En, choosing a lucky date based on the ecliptic definitely required a lot of experience. And that was when Hong Xiaobao needed to rely on Fang Xinghan.
“Choosing a lucky day based on the ecliptic is actually rather easy.” Fang Xinghan pinched his fingers and counted for a while. “Three days later will be a good time to do so.”
“Hmm, okay then. Since I have nothing else to do these days, I guess it will do.” Hong Xiaobao nodded.
Hong Xiaobao wanted to get it done as fast as possible.
