Four days passed quickly and Shi Lei had finished spending this month’s money. He confidently waited for midnight and strode into the empty self-service bank.
After inserting the Black Card into the ATM and seeing the Scepter appear, Shi Lei immediately yelled, “Hurry up and let me draw my prize!”
Plus the one chance he received from Sun Yiyi, Shi Lei had three chances altogether, but he could only use one of the three chances today. He would be able to use the other two after completing his agreements with Sun Yiyi and Song Miaomiao.
And because he drew “double,” these three chances may turn into six, or at least five. And today, his chances would be doubled to two. Last month, Shi Lei had unexpectedly drew the Ancient Times’ Martial Arts Card twice, which made him extremely frustrated. He was holding in his desire for vengeance, wanting to draw something precious like the Golden Thumb Investment Card so he could let it go.
Usually, the Scepter was required to satisfy Shi Lei’s requests, but this time, it ignored him. “Level Two Employee,” it said slowly in its androgynous voice, “there is no need to rush to draw the prize. Because this is your first consumption period as a Level Two Employee, there are many things we need to settle first.”
Shi Lei wasn’t panicked or scared, since it was already past midnight. Judging by the Black Card’s usual personality, the renewment of the sum wouldn’t necessarily happen at exactly midnight. As long as Shi Lei needed to spend money, the sum would refresh before he spent it. As for penalties, the Black Card wouldn’t delay a single second and was as accurate as could be.
“So much trouble. Fine, say it. What else is there to settle? You are wasting my good mood.”
For once, the Scepter didn’t fight back. “Level Two Employee, last month’s sum was one million and that sum has been fulfilled. One of the deals made was 50 yuan in return for the first kiss and verbal contract of Song Miaomiao, a Level A beauty with a Level A+ body. This deal has been determined to be a five star consumption, and the reward is two chances to draw a prize. But because you have yet to complete the verbal contract, one of the two chances will be performed after the contract is fulfilled.”
That was old talk and Shi Lei already knew about it. The difference was that he couldn’t draw the prize last time, but he could now.
“In another deal, the Level Two Employee spent 100,000 yuan to destroy part of the house of his father’s enemy, Qin Huaiyuan. This deal is graded as a two star consumption. The part of house you destroyed is valued to be 180,000 yuan. The 80,000 yuan will be given to the Level Two Employee in free funds as a reward.”
After Shi Lei heard that, his eyes shone and he waved his fist in the air fiercely. “Yes! I knew it was going to be an excellent deal! Otherwise, there was no way that crappy bulldozer would be worth 100,000 yuan!’
The Scepter finally cursed. “Stupid marmot, you were really lucky this time. Someone as noble as me doesn’t want to kill you too quickly, so I’ll kindly warn you that it’s better not to do such things in the future.”
“Why not?! I will make people who dare hurt my family pay the price! And I have my own money too, so if the consumption isn’t counted within the sum, I will use my own money to make up for it!”
“Stupid marmot, it looks like you still haven’t realized the importance of having your own money!”
Shi Lei rolled his eyes and didn’t bother to react to the Scepter.
When Shi Lei didn’t have money or authority or power, he could only choose to hold in his indignation, since him fighting back would be as weak as hitting something with a pebble. Not only could he not fight for righteousness, but it was also possible for the situation to deteriorate. Now that he had the capability to fight back, Shi Lei definitely wouldn’t be a coward who buried himself in the sand. “With great power comes great responsibility.” Although the Spider-Man had directed it to the whole world, it was a famous quote to Shi Lei. However, he only said that to his family and close friends.
“Under the circumstance that the Level Two Employee discovered a new way to use the Millionaire Card, which made even the noble me realize that the level of the card was insufficient. Hence, the Millionaire Card will level up from E to C in all of the cards and the Level Two Employee will receive a reward.”
Shi Lei froze. He had never imagined that the Scepter would say this.
A new way to use the Millionaire Card?
The Scepter had explained all the original uses of the Millionaire Card, which was one of the lowest Level E cards there was. It was used to let the card holder experience the life of a millionaire in advance. Every single use of the card required the Black Card to pay the price accordingly, since it couldn’t directly arrange everything. So everything was arranged through the mysterious group called the Eye of the Dark Night. This required a large amount of money.
But when Shi Lei used the Millionaire Card last, there was no need to wipe anyone’s memory. He had given a simple order that was limited to only the director of Zhenping Real Estate, Hu Jianjun. Because Hu Jianjun was also a member of the Eye of the Dark Night, it was impossible for him to reveal any information regarding the order, which made the Millionaire Card extremely easy to use. As a result, the Black Card had only paid a little for the performance of the Millionaire Card.
And the outcome wasn’t any worse than the other uses. Shi Lei had even benefitted from it, since he not only experienced a day in the life of a millionaire, but he also gained some connections.
This was the reason why the Black Card judged it as a new way of using the card. Hence, the old level it gave the Millionaire Card was way too low, since the new way determined that it definitely shouldn’t only be a Level E card.
When the card leveled up, Shi Lei had to be rewarded accordingly
Obviously, the Scepter was willing to give Shi Lei any reward, but that wasn’t in its power to decide.
“The reward Level Two Employee can receive from this is—”
Shi Lei was extremely excited. “Is it chances to draw a prize?” he cut in.
“Stupid marmot, don’t always think about prizes. Not all rewards are prizes! What else do you know other than drawing prizes?!’
Shi Lei overjoyed and didn’t care about the Scepter’s attitude at all. “It could also be that I get some sort of card, such as the Intimacy Level Card—”
“Stop daydreaming!” The Scepter raged.
Shi Lei shrugged. “We are just discussing here, so it’s fine that it isn’t. Don’t be so hotheaded. There will be too much heat inside you if you’re always angry. I have some bezoar detoxification pills here, if you would like one…”
“Stupid marmot!” The Scepter cursed, but suddenly stopped in the middle of the sentence. It realized that the more angry it became, the happier Shi Lei would be.
It felt extremely frustrated. In the past, who hadn’t treated it as a god? They had all accepted its orders in horror and were slaves as long as they were given money. But Shi Lei had seen through its trick from the very beginning and got rid of his identity as a slave when he was only Level One. And what Shi Lei said was extremely accurate. There was only one slave in the whole situation, and that was the Scepter.
Now, the more Shi Lei understood the rules, the more reckless he was, since he didn’t have any respect or fear toward it anymore.
The Scepter feared that, at this rate, sooner or later, Shi Lei would stand on top of it and treat it as a slave.
