Chapter 719: You Were Not My Match Since I Was Three!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

There were eight levels of Honorary Aristocrats at the moment, differentiated by the color of their trench coats. Red trench coats belonged to the lowest level of Honorary Aristocrats. After that came orange, yellow, green, silver, blue, purple and finally, the highest level, black. Every level of Honorary Aristocrats had different amounts of power.

“The lowest level is red, which has one district under their control, a three hundred thousand square meter manor, can mobilize one First Order Planet space carrier, and has two First Order Planet Warriors as guards.

“Orange has two districts under their control, a 600,000 square meter manor, can mobilize two First Order Planet space carriers, and has four First Order Planet Warriors as guards.

“Yellow has three districts, a 900,000 square meter manor, can mobilize three First Order of the Planet space carriers, and has six First Order Planet Warriors as guards.

“Green has four districts, a 1.2 million square meter manor, can mobilize four First Order of the Planet space carriers, and has eight Second Order Planet Warriors as guards.

“By the time we get to silver, the level gets a big upgrade. Six districts, a two million square meter manor, one Second Order Planet spacecraft, and two Second Order Planet Warriors as guards.”

“Blue, double that. Purple, double it again. Last is the highest level of Honorary Aristocrats, black. They get twelve districts, a sixteen million square meter manor, one Third Order Planet space carrier and two Third Order Planet Warrior as guards.

“With such benefits, the honorary aristocrats receive treatment comparable to us, the real beta Star people. Every year, there are countless outstanding people competing for the positions of Honorary Aristocrats. Last year, our Jiang Family had a quota of 36 red Honorary Aristocrats, and the number of people who applied was...”

When she got to this part, she took a deep breath and said, “18.6 million people.”

Eighteen point six million people! Competing for thirty-six places! God, this was an uncountable number of times more competitive than trying to get a civil servant post on Earth, wasn’t it?!

Hong Dali was so shocked his snot almost dripped out of his nose. “Really?! So many people competing for just thirty-six places? And they are of the lowest level?!”

“This is already one of the years with the least number of people.” Jiang Qianxue smiled and said, “After all, becoming an Honorary Aristocrat is equivalent to getting an official title and lands to go with it. As long as you don’t go overboard, you can live like the emperor within your own district. The benefits are significant. We, the Galaxy Aristocrats, are the overseers of the entire Milky Way and hold a great amount of power.”

Tang Long nodded in agreement and said, “This is true. The population count of the Galaxy Aristocrats has always been a problem that has plagued the people of the Beta Star since forever. However, Qianxue, after saying so much, are you asking Hong Dali to join the competition? If that is the case, you might as well just kill him directly!”

He was not wrong. Who was Hong Dali? If something could be done by others, he would resolutely refuse to do it himself. If something could be solved with money, he would never use brute strength. If something could be settled by spending ten dollars, he had to spend at least a hundred!

He would probably die rather than compete for a position among the Honorary Aristocrats.

“Of course not.” Jiang Qianxue looked at Hong Dali and smiled, then said, “Dali is very strong in his own right and he has connections with Elder Mo Tianji, so he has priority. I went home to solicit my father’s opinion and he felt that Dali can directly become an orange level Honorary Aristocrat. All the formalities can be processed immediately without any further testing.”

He could become an Honorary Aristocrat directly! No need to go through the formalities! And he could go straight to becoming an orange-level Honorary Aristocrat!

This was awesome! Hong Dali smiled widely and looked at Tang Long. “Uncle Tang Long, Elder Mo Tianji sure has a lot of influence, hehe!”

Everything else did not matter. After he became an Honorary Aristocrat, there would be less trouble and a lot more perks. That was a desirable outcome—most importantly, he did not need to change his name!

“Aren’t you stating the obvious?” Tang Long shot a glance at Hong Dali. “Old Master is the Number One Warrior in the Eastern Galaxy, did you think it was for show?”

“Dali,” Jiang Qianxue looked at Hong Dali, smiled and said, “what do you think? Will you agree?”

“Hehe, perhaps.” Hong Dali raised his eyebrows at Jiang Qianxue. “Once I agree, I will become an Honorary Aristocrat? I get districts and space carriers?”

“Yes,” Jiang Qianxue said.

“That seems not bad.” Hong Dali grinned and nodded. “In that case, I’ll be an Honorary Aristocrat for now—to be honest, none of it matters. I actually just thought that your coat is really cool...”

It seemed that he agreed because of the coat...

“Well, I brought the clothes.” Jiang Qianxue clapped her hands, then a guard appeared shortly with a crystal box. Inside the box, a transparent piece of clothing laid neatly folded, pulsing with the shine of nobility!

Galaxy Aristocrat exclusive trench coat, given by Jiang Qianxue, 100% genuine!

“How come it is transparent?” Hong Dali asked curiously, “Isn’t it supposed to be orange?”

“Country bumpkin, don’t wear it if you don’t like it!” Yin Tianzong said angrily, “The Galaxy Aristocrat trench coat is like that at the beginning. When it acknowledges its owner, it will change color. Outsiders will not be able to fake it, and they won’t dare to anyway. I told you you are a country bumpkin! If it weren’t for Qianxue, I really feel like beating you up!”

F**k, there was no guarantee who would be the one getting beaten up yet. This fellow had forgotten the pain once his wounds had healed!

“Are you sure it will be you beating me up or is it me beating you up?” Hong Dali did not give in at all. “Shall we go outside and see?”

“I’m a Galaxy Aristocrat. I am perfect, noble, elegant, and without defect in every single cell!” Yin Tianzong stamped his foot. “Believe it or not, just one word from me and you will never become an Honorary Aristocrat in your entire life!”

“You think I care?!” Hong Dali shot right back. “You can try!”

Jiang Qianxue had gotten clever this time. Seeing that the two of them were about to start fighting again, she got up and pulled Yin Tianzong away. “Can you please stop embarrassing yourself? Have you not figured out what kind of temper Hong Dali has by now? He’s pretty powerful and also super protective! Must you pit yourself against him?”

“Of course! He actually dared to attack my noble self!” Yin Tianzong, too, refused to give in. “Every time I think about how insulted I was, I feel like killing him a hundred times. A hundred times!”

“Can’t you settle it differently?” Jiang Qianxue said angrily, “Can you listen to me for once?”

“Say it!” Yin Tianzong clenched his teeth. “I will decide if I want to accept it.”

“Walk over there now and say that you have been impulsive, then apologize and say that you will try to coexist peacefully from now on. Quick, go.” Jiang Qianxue waved her fist. “I’ll punch you if you refuse to go. You have not been my match since I was three!”

“Okay... okay!” This was a serious threat, and Yin Tianzong had no choice but to back down. “It’s not that I can’t win you. I just don’t want to hurt you...” He saw Jiang Qianxue wave her fist again preparing to punch him and quickly ran off.

“That, ah...” Yin Tianzong plonked himself down in front of Hong Dali, looked at the ceiling and muttered, “It was my fault previously. I was impulsive, sorry. Actually, you’re quite powerful, just a tiny bit weaker than me...”

He said that without a trace of sincerity, and he didn’t even look directly at Hong Dali while saying it, almost as if he were talking to himself. However, it was not easy for a narcissist to say something like that.

“It’s okay, it’s okay.” Hong Dali was very happy to hear that. “In that case, shall we call it quits?”

“I guess so.” Yin Tianzong muttered, “I’m not doing it for you. I am doing it for Qianxue. Don’t think that I’m afraid of you!”

“It doesn’t matter.” Hong Dali rummaged about his body and soon took out a fist-sized, dark red stone. He threw it at Yin Tianzong and said, “I was a little impulsive before too. This is for you, take it as compensation.”

Hong Dali was quite a magnanimous person. Generally speaking, as long as you did not do any permanent harm to his friends, he would not hold a grudge.

Now that Yin Tianzong had given way somewhat, he naturally could not be unyielding.

The two of them had already fought each other, even fired cannons at each other. The saying that said all enmity was dissolved after a fight was indeed true!

“Don’t you feel embarrassed giving me a broken stone as a greeting gift?” Yin Tianzong pouted. As he held the stone in his hands, his eyes grew wider and wider, his mouth opened bigger and bigger. If they opened any bigger they would make three big gaping holes. “This... this, this, this is an energy gem?! An energy gem that can increase energy by 50%?!”

He was really stunned.

Although he was a Galaxy Aristocrat and had so much wealth that even he had no idea as to the exact amount, Yin Tianzong had never seen a super premium gem that could increase energy by 50% this size!

It would not be an exaggeration to say that this item had a price but no market!

No matter how much money you had, you could not buy something if there was no one selling it! This was not a run of the mill Strength +7, Agility +8 stone. An energy gem was one of the most coveted items in the universe. Any energy gem that could increase energy by more than thirty percent commanded an astronomical price—the price was not the important part. The fact that it was super rare was more important. Super rare!

Simply put, there was no alien or exotic beast anywhere in the Galaxy that could make such an energy core. In other words, that meant that the only way to get an energy stone was to try your luck one planet at a time.

If you found one, that would mean a huge windfall. Chances were that even if you were lucky and found one, it would probably just be a common one that added ten or twenty percent. Just those could already fetch astronomical prices, not to mention one that added fifty percent!

Watching how Hong Dali nonchalantly tossed the precious gem to Yin Tianzong, Tang Long felt like his heart was bleeding. Prodigal! Such a good gem...

Hong Dali did not care—he brought a few of them, but after coming to the Galaxy Alliance, their attributes had been greatly reduced and they only added five points now. To Hong Dali, who always wanted the best and the most expensive, they were no longer worthy...
