Chapter 893 Shi Lei's New Mission
Shi Lei came to Europe not only to find Yao Keji.
Investigating the leader of the Dark Night Eye obviously has certain risks, even if Shi Lei wants to help them in principle.
Asking Yao Keji to investigate the leader of the Dark Night Eye is obviously a more complicated process, which is far less concise and clear than directly asking the black card and the scepter.
Therefore, on Yao Keji's side, Shi Lei is just a backup means. After returning to Wu Dong, he immediately went to find the scepter.
When Shi Lei asked the scepter this question, the scepter naturally did not answer Shi Lei.
Obviously, the scepter is only responsible for answering questions within Shi Lei's authority. Regarding the black card itself, it may also answer other questions, but that depends on its mood.
There is no doubt that when facing Shi Lei, the scepter's mood is always not very good.
So Shi Lei naturally did not get an answer.
However, under Shi Lei's efforts, the scepter issued another task to Shi Lei.
Because Shi Lei had a request for the black card, the reward of this task naturally became the answer that Shi Lei wanted.
At the beginning, the reward given by the scepter was about the real age of the leader of the Dark Night Eye.
Shi Lei certainly couldn't agree with this answer. He didn't have much meaning in coming here.
This was at best a part of the final answer that Shi Lei was looking for.
The result of asking Yao Keji to help investigate might not be too accurate, but Shi Lei didn't need a completely accurate answer. All he needed was to confirm some of his guesses, so Shi Lei directly rejected the scepter's task.
Of course, the task itself could not be rejected, but there would be no punishment for not completing the task. Shi Lei only needed to be passive and not handle the task, which was equivalent to giving up the task.
There was no doubt that the black card and the scepter needed Shi Lei's help to complete the task, so the scepter indicated that the task reward could be negotiated.
"You greedy yellow wolf, you are getting more and more unrestrained now. You should know that the supreme black card is not a bargaining matter for you to issue a task."
Facing the dying struggle of the scepter, Shi Lei said disdainfully: "I don't care. There is no punishment mechanism for the task anyway. At worst, we can break up and I will not complete any tasks for you from now on. Your biggest threat is nothing more than that the rewards I get from you will be reduced, but now I have a reputation system. In principle, I can get the rewards you can give from the reputation system. It's just that the difficulty is greater. As long as I can survive, I will definitely be able to get the rewards I need from the reputation system. So, honorable scepter, you should understand that your previous threats are no longer a threat to me now. So, don't always think about using the smallest price to exchange for what you need."
In response, the scepter can only express silence. It also has to admit that Shi Lei's logic is so self-consistent. After he gave up those rewards, in terms of tasks, the black card really has nothing to threaten Shi Lei.
"What do you want?" The scepter had no choice but to ask.
Shi Lei smiled faintly and said, "I will complete your task, but I need to get all the information about the leader of the Dark Night Eye. I know that even the Dark Night Eye may not have the information about that leader. This leader is probably the most mysterious one in the Dark Night Eye over the past thousand years. But you, or Black Card, must have all her information."
The scepter continued to be silent, but Shi Lei was waiting for its answer.
The leader of the Dark Night Eye is really a very strange existence.
She is like a rubber man, but she has a high degree of trust in the ferryman who is already implementing the rebellion plan.
She should be in her fifties or sixties in theory, but she looks only in her forties.
She even trusts Shi Lei more than the ferryman, but she completely denies what Shi Lei asked Wei Bodhi to bring.
...
There are too many contradictions in her.
Shi Lei has doubts, but he must be confirmed. If he wants to confirm these, Black Card and the scepter are undoubtedly the most direct direction.
Shi Lei believed that when he figured out the secrets of the leader of the Eye of Darkness, he would be able to indirectly or even directly understand the reason why Black Card was so interested in artworks.
And when the reason for Black Card's interest in artworks was fully revealed to Shi Lei, then Shi Lei might be able to find Black Card's weakness, so as to completely get rid of Black Card and no longer be threatened by Black Card's wiping out.
Of course, all this was just speculation, but Shi Lei had to go step by step.
The real confrontation with Black Card, instead of arguing with the Scepter on every settlement day, started with the real information of the leader of the Eye of Darkness.
...
After a long while, the Scepter finally spoke.
"Okay, as noble as I am, I can agree to your request. When you complete this task, you will be able to obtain all the information of the leader of the Eye of Darkness."
Shi Lei smiled. He had long expected that Black Card would eventually choose to compromise. After all, the information of the leader of the Eye of Darkness alone was not enough to alert Black Card. Shi Lei even had reason to suspect that Black Card wanted him to find out everything about the Eye of Darkness.
"Then, it's a deal." Shi Lei said with a smile.
However, the scepter stopped him from withdrawing from the black card.
The scepter said: "Don't worry, level 4 manager, because your requirements for the task reward have been raised, this task also needs to be raised."
Shi Lei was immediately unhappy, and he said anxiously: "Hey, do you still have any shame? You are going back on your word now?"
The scepter chuckled twice and said: "The task reward for the task released before can only let you know the real age of the leader. If you want to know all her information, you must naturally complete higher-level tasks. Forget it, just think of it as a noble person like me pitying you. This task can be completed as a side task and a full task. The side task is for you to get the family collection of the mayor of London, the painting by Monet. After completing the side task, you will be able to learn the real age of the leader of the Dark Eye. The full task is for you to get the entire collection of the mayor of London's family. After completing it, you will be able to learn all the information of the leader of the Dark Eye. Regarding the entire collection of the mayor of London's family, I will give you a list. As long as you get all the things on the list, you will be considered to have completed the task."
Shi Lei was speechless...
Can you just kill the entire family of the mayor of London? After killing them, can we take all their collections?
A Monet painting might be negotiable, but the collection of the whole family is just wishful thinking, okay?
Shi Lei felt the shamelessness of the scepter and the black card, and cursed them more than 36,000 times in his heart.
"Forget it, I know that I am not talented enough, and I can't complete the whole task, and I have given up the side quests. Let's go our separate ways and love each other in the future."
Shi Lei reached out and pressed the card eject button.
This was an impossible task, and Shi Lei certainly wouldn't go crazy trying to complete it.
However, an accident happened. He had clearly pressed the card eject button, but the black card was not ejected. The scepter was still spinning arrogantly on the screen, and it also made a strange laugh, as if it was mocking Shi Lei's self-importance.
