Chapter 25: Spending Money is Also a Physical Task
At that moment, a clear, beautiful voice came from the entrance: “Hello, is anyone there?”
“Someone’s here.” The salesperson behind me quickly placed all the bags she was carrying on the couch, then hurriedly walked towards the door. The collective resentment from the six or seven women was too strong. Finn Lewis quickly spoke, “Just kidding, just kidding. I just thought you all looked tired carrying those bags, so why not lighten the mood a bit?”
Lighten the mood? The beautiful salesperson was almost dumbstruck. Seriously, he thinks this is amusing us? Isn’t this toying with us? “Excuse me, sir, this isn’t a funny joke,” she awkwardly said with a forced smile.
“Alright, let’s hurry up and check out. I’ll take all of this.” Finn Lewis promptly replied.
Upon hearing Finn’s comment, the lady finally exhaled a breath of relief. She was genuinely scared that Finn meant what he said. This was no joke, it was life or death. Finn bought at least dozens of clothes. Just taking them all out and then rearranging them onto the shelf would take more than an hour. It’s not as easy as it seems!
Kay Lee came over today to buy a birthday present for her father. Her old man was fond of Aimadia’s clothing, so Kay Lee managed to take time out of her busy schedule to come to this specialty store to buy a few items. As a triple-threat star in music, television, and film, Kay Lee reached the peak of her career at just 23 years old.
Although she can’t claim herself to be a top international megastar now, she does have a good reputation internationally. In her own country, she’s undoubtedly a top star. The time that she has to shop for herself is very limited indeed. Fortunately, there were not many people in the shopping mall, so she didn’t bother to disguise herself much today. She wore a pair of sunglasses and a hat, and only brought her assistant along.
However, as soon as she entered the Aimadia store, Kay Lee was somewhat stunned. How come there was nobody at the counter? Kay Lee couldn’t help but ask aloud. Then, a salesperson rushed over from the back. Shortly after expressing her needs and before the salesperson could even respond, she saw a man in ordinary clothes rushing out from the back, with seven or eight salespeople trailing behind him, all carrying clothes in their hands.
However, she had never seen anyone buy so many before. There must be at least a hundred items, right? Moreover, it was a man who bought all these! No wonder there were no salespeople at the counter just now.
She felt surprised, but Kay Lee didn’t say anything. She just turned around to enter the store and headed to the deepest part of it. She had been to this store several times before, so she naturally knew where the clothes she wanted were. However, soon after Kay arrived at that area, she was shocked again. The wall where the clothes used to be hung was almost empty. It reminded her of the man from just now and left her speechless.
What to do now?
While the salespeople were tagging the clothes, Finn Lewis was waiting around bored. For some reason, Finn felt like he had seen the woman in front of him somewhere, and judging by her figure from the back, she’s undoubtedly very attractive.
After retreating a few steps back, he took out his cell phone, put on his earphones, and quietly asked: “Hey, Zero, how much would you rate the woman just now?” Finn knew about Zero’s peculiar abilities. It even knew if someone had plastic surgery. A pair of sunglasses wouldn’t make a difference.
“97.” Zero spat out a number that made Finn’s jaw drop.
“Damn it!” Finn couldn’t help but exclaim, but his voice was a bit loud, attracting the attention of several busy salespeople.
When he saw several salespeople looking at him, Finn waved his phone to signal that he was on a call. Although it hadn’t been long, Finn had formed a habit of taking out his mobile phone every time he talked to Zero – just to maintain appearances.
Thinking about the beauty whom Zero had given a score of over seventy, and then the score given to the woman just now, Finn felt like drooling. Oh, a beauty with a score of ninety-seven? How preposterously beautiful she must be!
“Are you sure?” Finn lowered his voice.
“Yes, and there’s a long-term task, do you want to take it?” Zero suddenly announced another task.
“Wait, let’s finish this task first, shall we?” Finn thought for a while and said.
“Yes.”
Only then did Finn Lewis heave a sigh of relief. Now that there was a task, he didn’t want to let it go. However, based on his previous experience, Finn had developed an understanding of Zero’s wickedness. After completing this task and finding a secluded place to learn more about it, he would then decide whether to take this task. This was the first time he had heard of a long-term task.
“Oh, by the way, I should remind you. According to your current pace, you have a 98% chance of not completing the task, ” Zero’s voice suddenly sounded again.
Finn stood there motionless for a moment, then suddenly leaped up and rushed to the counter, “Can you speed up a little? I’ve got something urgent!”
“Uh, sure, sir.” The salespeople were a bit stunned, but they still nodded. To them, the customer’s request was supreme, especially for a big customer like Finn. Still, they couldn’t help but wonder whether he was using the ‘urgent matter’ as an excuse to back out from buying the stuff.
It has to be said that human imagination is truly powerful. Especially Finn’s unusual shopping process gave the salespersons an unrealistic feeling. Therefore, they all unconsensually sped up their work. Luckily, Finn didn’t leave. He simply stayed on the side, hurrying them.
“Sir, we’ve finished scanning. The total is 2.16 million, after the discount.” The cashier couldn’t help but swallow her saliva. She asked herself, who spends more than 2 million within such a short time?
“Only a bit over 2 million?” Finn was taken aback, but still handed over his bank card. The salespeople beside him were at a loss for words, though they decided to say nothing. This was too demoralizing – they had seen rich people before, but they had never met anyone like Finn.
And now that he had spent more time here, even if Finn picked clothes extremely fast, the total time for picking out the clothes, the salespeople fetching them, and checking out now had added up to almost half an hour. That was forty minutes gone, with just over an hour and ten minutes left.
Right now, Finn had only spent over six million, but he still had over thirteen million left to spend in half the time remaining. This…. what to do now?
