Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

Panda Novel

Friday, June 18, 2014.

At 7:30 PM, the radius surrounding West Fourth Loop Stadium was packed with people, and the atmosphere was extremely vibrant, lively and grand. The first online gaming fest had officially begun!

E-Sports! That was a brand new spectacular event! This was a term that people had never heard of before.

Nobody had thought that gaming could actually become an event to compete on.

The security guards were cordoning the area around the West Fourth Loop Stadium as they pulled long pieces of security tapes. However, it still could not stop people’s curiosity, and tens of thousands of gaming lovers sprinted towards the West Fourth Loop Stadium. The scene was akin to that of an ancient war film. There were still many people in the surrounding area who desperately pushed their way forward, and upon a single look at the scene, there were human heads everywhere. This resulted in the 1,000 security guards at the scene to be exhausted from handling the crowd. There were just too many people.

The security guard barked incessantly into the loudspeaker. “Everyone, please maintain order, order! The event is completely free of charge, you don’t need to be too anxious!”

Alas, it would have been better if he hadn’t shouted that. After he’d shouted, everyone squeezed more desperately forward—it was exactly because it was free that they were so anxious. If they were late they probably couldn’t get in anymore!

The main reason why so many had turned up was not only because of the new term—E-Sports—as well as free entry, but there was still something that was extremely important.

Because this was organized by the legendary Young Master, Hong Dali!

Young Master’s productions must be top-quality. Even if it was not top quality, money has to be thrown out to make it into one!

With such a lofty declaration, it was thus understandable why those gaming lovers were so wild and passionate about it. Moreover, it had been said that there would be a super grand cosplay, and goddess Li Nianwei would be making her grand appearance as well!

Thus, this night, the entire West Fourth Loop had erupted once again, which was far beyond expectations.

…

As a rare female gaming lover cum entertainment reporter, Tang Anqi had long arrived at the West Fourth Loop Stadium. Her “early” was really early. This gaming fest was to be held at 8:00 PM sharp, whereas Tang Anqi came at 8:00 AM…

However, after she’d come here for a whole day till the sky had turned dark, she was extremely relieved at her wise decision.

Since 8:00 AM, people had been constantly streaming into the West Fourth Loop Stadium. When it was around 12:00 PM, one-third of the seats in the stadium were already filled. At 4:00 PM, more than half of the stadium was already filled. And at 7:30 PM…

Tang Anqi looked at the large group of audiences outside struggling to squeeze towards the inside but failing to and let out a long sigh. At the same time, she made a firm determination. “In the future when there are more good programs by Hong Dali that I encounter, I must rush to the scene during the previous night. I’ll bring a tent along too, in case I can’t find a seat!”

At 8:00 PM, the stadium was already filled to the brim.

It wasn’t an overstatement to stay that every corner that could fit a person standing was almost filled. Tang Anqi witnessed a person who couldn’t squeeze through the crowd on the way to the toilet. Alas, without any choice left, that person was literally transported out while passing through the heads of the crowd—if he wasn’t transported out sooner, he’d really have peed in his pants…

As the sky became dark, the center of the stadium had undergone a change as well.

There was a huge hexahedron slowly being elevated. It was previously placed on the ground with a piece of cloth covering it. Tang Anqi obviously couldn’t tell what it was exactly yet, and now that that hexahedron was slowly being elevated, Tang Anqi hurriedly took her camera out and aimed at it, waiting for that strange thing to expose itself.

“This thing appears to be at least 20 square meters and above per side, right? What exactly is that thing?” Tang Anqi mumbled to herself. Soon after, when the cloth had fallen off, she was completely shocked!

That was a super large television screen with six sides, and as she’d expected, every screen was a full 20 square meters, pointing towards six directions. It wasn’t an overstatement to say that even if someone was seated at the most unnoticeable corner in the stadium, that person would definitely be able to see whatever was displayed on the screen, even if it was a fly!

“This…” Tang Anqi’s pair of beautiful eyes stared till they became round and wide, as she was stunned at the scene before her eyes. “Just these few large screens would cost over 2 million, wouldn’t they? Does this Hong Dali always spend money as if it isn’t money that he is spending?”

For the sake of this free of charge gaming fest, he could actually create such a huge uproar. Tang Anqi totally conceded!

Just when Tang Anqi was shocked, a gaming player beside her talked to himself with an expression full of anticipation. “It’s coming, it’s coming, the fest should be starting soon!”

It was as if his words cued the start of the fest as the lights in the entire stadium were switched off. Soon after, that huge six-sided screen lit up, and at the same time, a slender apparition of a lady slowly came up from the stage below the six-sided screen.

The surroundings were pitch black, yet six rays of light shone onto the lady.

A slender, elegant figure with the golden ratio. She was flawless.

She wore a long white dress, and behind her were six wings slowly flapping.

She was the embodiment of purity! She was an angel that had descended onto the earth!

She was the acknowledged number one goddess of Heavenly State! She was Li Nianwei!

“It’s the goddess! It’s the goddess!”

Once Li Nianwei’s face appeared on the six-sided television screen, the whole crowd erupted! Countless young men shouted and screamed! Just this scene alone was enough to make them feel that they were left with no more regrets in their lives.

“So… so pretty!” Tang Anqi only felt that her heart was going to leap out, as her pair of eyes stared intently at the six wings at Li Nianwei’s back. “Those three pairs of angel’s wings… Those three pairs of angel’s wings… How, how exactly did they appear?!”

Just as Tang Anqi had been totally shocked, the lighting in the stadium suddenly dimmed. Li Nianwei’s silhouette had already disappeared, and this time, an absolutely beautiful elf appeared with a pair of long ears and a petite figure. The good-looking face of the elf that was entirely flawless gave a slight smile, and soon after, it suddenly took a gentle leap. Instantly, a pair of translucent wings appeared behind it as they gently flapped, leaving a bright and starry night sky behind…

Soon after, a half human half beast, as well as a giant made their appearances respectively, and every character was so real, while every prop was so authentic.

The entire crowd was mesmerized as they shouted and cheered with all their might!

Everything in the scene had impacted the audience greatly, leaving everyone stunned and at a loss for words.

“Oh my god!” Tang Anqi almost forgot to press the shutter of the camera in her hands, as she said in a daze, “These… these things… Hong Dali, did that Hong Dali even manage to do that?!”

“Awesome, it’s awesome!” The man beside Tang Anqi mumbled, “I’ve really made the right choice by coming today… These characters are all in Draconic Continent! I’ve never thought that they would actually appear in real life! God, I’m dreaming, I must be dreaming!” As he spoke, he pinched his face hard, and afterward, he grimaced in pain.

“I… I concede…” Tang Anqi was already fully stunned long ago.

However, it was obvious that the real highlight had only just started.

Dong! Dong!

The ground trembled slightly at intervals, causing an impact on the hearts of the audiences.

All the spotlights were shining onto the same place—the passageway of the contestants in the stadium. Just then, an immensely large alligator snapping turtle slowly came out under their gazes. And someone was sitting relaxedly on its back. Someone who looked rather ordinary.

Nevertheless, those with sharp eyes had already recognized him long ago.

Only one person in the entire Heavenly State would dare to sit on the back of the sacred beast, Black Tortoise.

Young Master, Hong Dali!

Upon looking at the huge crowd in the stadium, Hong Dali smiled with tranquil and leisure.

The scene had spiraled out of control!

“Ah—!!! Young Master! It’s Young Master ahhhhh!” “Black Tortoise! I’ve really seen the Black Tortoise!” “God, Young Master is just too cool!” “Hurry up and see that charming smile of his!” “Young Master, I want to bear a baby for you!”

Everyone was shocked.

It was first a short while of shock, and afterward, it was followed by joy, and then after, it was wildness to the core!

Those gaming lovers that had come to participate in the gaming fest had their emotions ignited to the max. Sounds of cheers and screams fused together. If sounds were a tangible substance, the West Fourth Loop Stadium would now have been leveled to the ground, and it would not have been just one instance.

“Young Master Dali is just too awesome today!” In the VIP chartered room in the stadium, Hong Dali’s schoolmates were watching Hong Dali make all kinds of poses as they all collapsed with laughter.

Ling Yi said, “Look at that look of Big Bro Dali, it’s like a procuress at the brothel trying to attract customers, hahaha!”

Du Xinzhen said confidently, “I just know at the tip of my fingers that this fest would be a big hit! But I really didn’t expect that the Blood Consort’s Holographic Projection Technology had already reached this level. Humph, humph, it can definitely defeat Merika’s Hollywood for sure!”

Ling Yi smiled and said, “I can guarantee that after this fest has ended, Big Bro Dali will definitely be on the cover page and headlines—look, there’s so many reporters at the scene!”

Du Xinzhen nodded and said, “Of course. Other things aside, with the Holographic Projection Technology, paired with the wings created from the Virtual Projection Technology, it’s enough for Hollywood to rack their brains out about it, haha! Young Master Dali is really awesome, he can even think of that!”

“Exactly.” Ling Yi said, “Look at what happened just now when Tang Muxin appeared, that pair of transparent wings at her back was absolutely beautiful!”

“Sister Nianwei is just as good.” Du Xinzhen smiled and said, “Those three pairs of wings on her back were literally the embodiment of an angel!”

In the meantime, in the stadium, Hong Dali had finally traveled on Big Turtle’s back and slowly reached the center of the stage. Hong Dali patted Big Turtle’s head, and soon after, the lights dimmed all of a sudden. At the same time, Li Nianwei appeared once again, smiling as she lifted her arms and said, “I’m Li Nianwei. I extend my greatest welcome to everyone who has come to participate in this grand event of online gaming. I hereby announce that the first online gaming fest starts now!”
