Chapter 395 - Five Star Plus Consumption

So it was five star plus level just as he expected?
Shi Lei was gloomy for the past few days and he finally felt better.
“Since it’s a five star plus level, tell me what’s my reward. How many times can I draw the prize?” Shi Lei pretended to be calm but silently calculated in his head. If five-star consumption was twice, then this was at least three or fours times, probably four times. This number was the conclusion that Shi Lei reached after pondering about it repeatedly.
If it was really four times and included the calculation of doubling it, Shi Lei would have eight attempts to draw prizes.
Eight attempts!
Eight!
Shi Lei wanted to kneel down and shout “baba(1)”! Oh, no. It’s a “baba”.
Eight attempts to draw prizes… I’m going to empty your prize pool!
However, the Scepter’s response was like a bucket of cold ice in the twelfth month of the lunar calendar that was poured on Shi Lei’s head.
No. It was even worse as it was really the twelfth month of the lunar calendar.
The Scepter spoke slowly and orderly, “Stupid marmot. Who told you the reward this time was drawing prizes?”
It spoke extremely slowly just like Teacher Zhao from Animal World and its voice was low and continuous. But shouldn’t this damned Scepter sound like metals rubbing together, neither female nor male? And why did it suddenly use high and low pitches?
Shi Lei’s good mood was immediately ruined as he raged, “Why not? Other than the ones which could be exchanged for currency, all the other consumptions that couldn’t be measured monetarily were all changed into chances to draw prizes! Scepter, don’t be shameless. You cannot lie! Tell me honestly. How many times do I get?!”
“Level Two Employee, please watch your words and your attitude. How can someone as noble as me lie to a stupid marmot like you? The chances you had to draw prizes weren’t brought to you by five star plus level consumptions. Someone as noble as me would never tell you that the reward for achieving five star plus level consumptions were chances to draw prizes.”
Shi Lei immediately froze.
It was right; Shi Lei was using inertia thinking all these times. Three-star consumptions or five-star consumptions... they all changed into chances to draw prizes. But with the Black Card and the Scepter’s habit, it didn’t mean that five star plus level was the same.
And Shi Lei suddenly realized a problem.
If he could receive one chance from a three-star consumption and two chances for a five-star consumption, what about a four-star consumption? It couldn’t possibly be one and a half chances, could it?
It was a trap. The Scepter used the inertia thinking that Shi Lei had never received other level consumptions and successfully fooled him.
Now that he thought about it, one and two-star level consumptions were obviously impossible to change into chances to draw prize. Perhaps not even four-star level. Shi Lei only achieve three stars and five stars and received rewards for them.
Hence, five star plus level consumptions had no chance to draw prizes!
But…
Shi Lei clenched his teeth, “F*ck, you are using my habit of thinking. I don’t know if I should swear or now!”
The Scepter laughed freakishly and scorned Shi Lei as if it found happiness and satisfaction from opposing Shi Lei.
“Cut the bullshit! Say the truth. What’s the reward for five stars plus level consumption?! I’m going to see if it can be more trash than five-star level consumption! Obviously, your program won’t allow you to be like this! Whether it’s drawing prizes or not, at least I can receive better rewards! Am I right? Scepter, it’s too early to be happy. I just don’t have chances to draw prizes. I! Don’t! Care! Now, hurry up and give me my reward!”
Shi Lei roared but he already calmed down as he knew that his prizes would only be better than that of drawing prizes.
What would it be? Perhaps they will give him a few level A or even Level S cards?!
Shi Lei’s eyes shone brightly again as it was filled with an extreme desire for rewards.
However, the Scepter didn’t give him a response immediately.
“Don’t be in such a hurry, Level Two Employee. About this time’s consumption, there is some new information about the rules I need to inform you about.”
“Say it!” Shi Lei’s face ashened. He knew that the Scepter or the Black Card was playing tricks again. And the trick had to be that Shi Lei created this deal himself which was against the rules and they had to take something back.
“After careful examination, Level Two Employee used 100 yuan to purpose the paper and ink and used the ability of the Drawing Card to revive an ancient painting. You gifted it to Old Bai and in exchange, your reward was to become Old Bai’s adopted daughter, Chen Yanv’s godson. This consumption was evaluated to be five stars plus level. However, during the process of this deal, Level Two Employee intentionally guided it and hence, the reward will be decreased by half.”
“Holy sh*t, I knew it! You two are intentionally doing this! Halve my reward! Fine! I’m going to see how the reward can be halved!”
It was rare that the Scepter didn’t care about Shi Lei’s attitude. It continued, “After the reward is halved, everything is as followed. First, the Black Card will upgrade the S- Card in Level Two Employee’s hands, Golden Thumb Investment Card, to Level S. After the upgrade, the chance that can be used each month will be doubled…”
It was a rather good reward as it was already increased before. If it was doubled now, it would be allowed to be used eight times. Shi Lei’s self-funds would increase efficiently under the situation that he couldn’t use leverage and had twice to check every week.
Shi Lei nodded, “In other words, I can use my Investment Card eight times per month? And it’ll be valid from this month, right?”
The Scepter’s tone became scorning, “You look average but you do think nicely. As a Level S- Card, you can only use it three times every month. After it has updated to Level S, it will be doubled to six.”
“Why? I was rewarded with one chance because I discovered a bug. I’m telling you, Scepter. Don’t play shameless games with me.”
The Scepter still ignored Shi Lei’s attitude, “Hence, you can use the Golden Thumb Investment Card seven times each month. The extra plus one cannot be included.”
Although Shi Lei felt slightly better, he was still angry. However, he also understood that it was the final result announced by the Black Card and could not be changed.
After dealing with the Scepter for so long, Shi Lei knew clearly which things could be debated and which couldn’t be.
“Continue with the second reward,” Shi Lei calmed down.
“Second, the Black Card will gift the identity of the highest VIP member in Dark Night’s Eye to Level Two Employee. However, there is a chance that Dark Night’s Eye decides to lower Level Two Employee’s level when accepting the transfer. I cannot control this and it’s decided by Dark Night’s Eye.”
Shi Lei silently swore. What kind of reward is this? As long as I have the Millionaire Card, I can use you, the highest VIP member in Dark Night’s Eye to ask them to do anything I want for me. Is there a meaning in letting me become a member myself? And my level will decrease. Without a doubt, the treatment will be worse after leveling down. Then, the Millionaire Card will be useless. I still have one more chance left and perhaps I’ll draw it out again in the future.
The Scepter seemed to see through Shi Lei’s mind. It added, “Considering that Level Two Employee has another chance to use the Millionaire Card…”
1 & 2: Baba means Dad, but eight in Chinese is also “ba”, but a different tone.
