Chapter 894 A New Way to Complete Tasks
The scepter smiled proudly, but Shi Lei found that he couldn't move. His finger had indeed pressed on the card eject button, but no matter what, he couldn't press it down.
It only takes one millimeter, or even less distance, to press the eject button and make this annoying scepter disappear from the screen, but Shi Lei just can't let his fingers move even one nanometer.
"Hahahaha, fourth-level manager, you have lived a good life for too long. Have you forgotten what happened when you inserted the black card for the first time?"
Having said this, Shi Lei remembered that when he saw the scepter for the first time after inserting the black card, he subconsciously turned around and ran away.
However, his body seemed to be fixed in the self-service bank at that time, unable to move at all.
More than a year has passed, and Shi Lei has never encountered a similar situation again. He has indeed forgotten it.
In the past, Shi Lei would always press the cancel button every time when he saw the scepter getting angry in the middle of a quarrel with the scepter, not giving the scepter a chance to talk back. It was successful every time, which also made Shi Lei selectively forget that the black card has the ability to restrict his actions.
"Fuck!" Shi Lei cursed, but he could move his mouth, but the angrier he cursed, the happier the scepter seemed.
"You have already issued the mission. I don't have the right to refuse to accept the mission anyway. What else do you want to say?" In desperation, Shi Lei could only communicate with the scepter using his only movable mouth.
"You can't just let me stay here all the time. Starving to death is a small matter, but losing integrity is a big deal!"
The scepter still smiled strangely and said: "Fourth level manager, don't think that you are as noble as I don't know that you plan to give up all tasks..."
Shi Lei retorted disdainfully: "Nonsense, I told you a long time ago that we will break up from now on and will never complete any tasks for you again."
"Level 4 manager, why are you doing this? Before you completed the task and received the reward, weren't you just cooperative enough?" Scepter suddenly slowed down his tone and was persuasive.
Shi Lei wanted to roll his eyes, but failed because he couldn't even move his eyes and could only stare at the screen and look at the damn scepter.
"Nonsense, that was when you issued a mission before. Although it was stingy, at least it was normal and the mission had a chance to be completed. But what about this time? Please, in addition to killing all the mayor of London and his family, and It has to be a method of killing that involves the nine clans. Otherwise, the entire family may have spent hundreds of years, or at least more than a hundred years, to collect the collection. Just give it to you. Can you be the mayor of London? There is a trend towards national-level politicians. Who can sit in this position in a capitalist country without one or even several plutocrats standing behind him? Don't tell me that I can buy it with money. Are they short of money? ? Even if the quota you give is unlimited, how can I negotiate with you? I want to buy your entire family's collection at a price. The list is here, no matter how much it is, I have the money. . Do you think this is appropriate? Damn, you kicked me out before I even thought about the price. Damn, you're a guy with a net worth of only a few billion, and you're standing behind someone else. At least, the price must be negotiated by politicians and families supported by tens of billions of billions. Oh, the money is still in pounds, and at the very least it has to be in US dollars.”
Shi Lei talked angrily, but Scepter said calmly: "The achievement of some things may not necessarily rely entirely on money. Fourth-level manager, think about it carefully, among the tasks you have completed, there are Which one is really accomplished with money?”
Shi Lei waved his hand...
He found that his ability to move had been restored, but he did not try to press the card eject button. He knew that as long as he tried to press that button, the black card would definitely immobilize him again.
"Not relying on money? That's even more impossible. If you want to ask someone to borrow it, I might be able to think of a way to make it happen for you. Get all their collections? That's impossible! Scepter, tell me again. It’s all in vain, I can’t do this!”
The scepter laughed loudly and said, "You can borrow it too!"
"..."
Shi Lei was depressed.
Damn it, this broken scepter is really good at climbing along the pole. No matter what I say, it will move up. After a while, it becomes borrowed.
But if I borrow your sister, do you think it’s a loan? One painting is Monet, so there is no need to think about other things, and you know that they must be national treasures. This black card has no interest in ordinary works of art, and he wants master-level ones.
A bunch of national treasure-level works of art or antiques, regardless of other values, the price alone would add up to more than Shi Lei's net worth. Shi Lei would ask someone to borrow it? Was he thrown into the English Channel to feed the sharks as soon as he opened his mouth?
"You really dare to say anything. Otherwise, I will help you find our country and lend all the shareholders in the Forbidden City to you for fun?"
Shi Lei was just complaining boringly, but Scepter said very honestly: "Heika has no interest in most of the antiques in the Forbidden City. The remaining interesting parts are far inferior to the Scola family's collection. Come in abundance.”
Shi Lei was even more depressed, and said directly: "Do you really think I'm discussing this with you? Can we be normal? Anyway, I just have one word, I can't do this task. At most, I will think about whether I can help you get the Monet painting. But to be honest, don't hold too high expectations, I'm just trying, and the difficulty of completing this task is also sky-high."
The scepter laughed kindly and said: "There are many ways to borrow. One is to take the item away from the owner's home, and the other is to borrow..."
Shi Lei frowned and said: "Borrow? Do you think other people's collections are books in the library?"
The scepter laughed without saying anything.
Shi Lei thought about it and roughly understood what the scepter meant.
He said, "You mean, visit and study the collections at the designated location and within the designated time period?"
The scepter said an ancient Chinese sentence with satisfaction: "Well, a young man can be taught!"
Shi Lei rolled his eyes and complained mercilessly: "Okay, stop being so pretentious. Do you really understand what a young man can be taught?"
After a pause, Shi Lei said, "Even if it's borrowed, the time can't be too long. No matter how I try to get in touch with them, they can only let me study for three or two days. Generally speaking, isn't it just a few hours of visiting time? You expect me to take back the target objects you want every time and leave them there for a month or two. That's impossible."
"One week!" After considering, the scepter gave a time.
Shi Lei frowned and said with dissatisfaction: "Please, with your skills and abilities, it wouldn't be difficult to make those artworks disappear, right? Or why don't you just wipe out the Scola family? Then just make up the identity of the heir, wouldn't those things belong to you naturally? Why do you have to make it so complicated for me to complete the task?"
"Level 4 manager, this point, as noble as I am, I have explained to you, the supreme black card does not have the ability to rob. Only when the owner of those things is the cardholder, the black card can take them into its pocket."
