“This is the new bed you are giving me?” Snowflake looked at the big pile of gold coins on the ground, she creased her eyebrows and leaned her head sideways. She seemed a little distressed, “But, I actually don’t like to sleep on gold coins.”
Sui Xiong was shocked. In his impression, no matter the story on earth or legend in the world, giant dragons loved to sleep on piles of gold coins. Even if there were enough gold coins, mixing along with some silver coins and bronze coins would do too. If requirement permits, a pile of gold coins added with some jewellery, magic devices and that sort, would be even better. And from Graupel’s reaction, he was definitely right. So, why didn’t Snowflake like it?
She could tell that he was shocked, as Snowflake sighed and explained, “I don’t like to reveal my true body, unless I have no choice. Otherwise, even during resting time, I would sleep in human form. Didn’t you realize that Frost and Graupel’s rooms are terrifyingly huge, but mine is just a size of a normal human being?”
Sui Xiong was stunned and asked, “Why don’t you like gold coins? Giant dragons like things that shine, right?”
“… you are talking about crows!”
“Don’t giant dragons love them, too?”
Snowflake sighed, “Stereotyping is such a scary thing!”
“We, giant dragons, culturally, have a lot of respect for hiding wealth. To be able to hide more wealth implied that one is more capable and would be highly praised and admired by the the same tribe. Over time, many giant dragons turned this culture into their hobby. For instance, Graupel is like that,” She explained. “But I do not agree with this kind of culture! On the contrary, I hate this kind of meaningless hiding, I even hate those that run amok in order to gain wealth!
Sui Xiong nodded continuously, as he agreed with that too.
“You gained a fortune, and wanted to improvise our living environment, I appreciate your good intention, but it’s okay.” Snowflake smiled and turned away, “And, help me clean the room. With gold coins all over the floor, it’s inconvenient.”
Sui Xiong pouted and cast magic to clean up the gold coins. He cleaned the room altogether too.
“I, as a god, cleaning up the room for you, you are pretty honoured…”
The next day, he found Frost. This time, he was more careful that he asked first, “You want to give me gold coins to make into a bed?”
Frost leaned her head to one side and looked at the jellyfish floating before him stupidly. She shook her head and sighed.
“Hey, what kind of attitude is that!”
“Nothing. You are still so random!” Frost shrugged and looked innocent, “Do I look like I like to reveal my true body to sleep on a pile of gold coins?”
“… Isn’t it because you are extremely clear, that you had no gold coins to make into a bed?”
Frost was offended and she said angrily, “I am rich!”
“I know, stuffed steam bun is considered as a dry provision, one dollar is money, too.”
Frost was quivering in anger and felt that chatting with the bastard jellyfish was the biggest mistake she made that day. Then, she turned around and left.
“Hey, you haven’t tell me if you want the gold coin bed!” Sui Xiong shouted.
“I’m saving them for you to make into coffin!” Frost replied, without turning her head.
Sui Xiong looked at him running away like he was flying, and he sighed heavily.
“Nowadays, there were people who didn’t want free money…” He thought, and he looked for Rhodes instead.
“You mean you planned to pour in the money for life prolonging medicine into the building of church?” Rhodes groaned and asked, “Although I have calculated in private, how much money exactly?”
Sui Xiong told him a number. Rhodes didn’t seem to be excited or surprised. He thought seriously and said regrettably, “I’m sorry, our church has reached its maximum capacity at the moment. Although there is such a huge amount of wealth, I have no idea how to spend it all in a short period of time….”
Sui Xiong walked away helplessly. He walked while he mumbled to himself, “What is happening?! There’s money, but nowhere to spend….. if on earth, there’s so much money….. I’ll head over to Beijing third ring road to buy houses. Buy a few houses, I have one, my parents have one, my wife has one, the rest are used for storing miscellaneous items!”
“… that’s not right. I don’t even have a girlfriend, where would I get a wife?!” He sighed heavily and he felt the so-called “world’s evil intention”.
When the poor gain wealth, it was inevitable to have the urge to show off, especially he was then extremely huge! When a Chinese described a wealthy person, they always use the phrase of “as rich as a nation”. Those top local tyrants on earth are mostly ruler in those backwards countries, and most of them turned the assets of the nations into their own.
For instance, the wealthy man that sells stones. But a person that really was “as rich as a nation”, from what Sui Xiong knew, there wasn’t anyone. But then, there he was.
