Chapter 32: Subtask Two
Upon returning to his hotel, Finn Lewis called the shop owners to give them his new address and asked them to deliver the items. After hanging up the phone, he realized he was hungry. He checked the time and found that it was only 2 p.m.
Feeling too lazy to move, Finn decided to order food delivery. As he was doing so, Zero’s voice rang out, “Really? You spent 58 million this morning, and now you’re eating fast food?”
“Why not?” Finn lazily answered. He really couldn’t be bothered to move.
“Alright. Since things are like this, there’s another subtask. Would you like to take it?” Zero directly asked.
“What task?” Finn was left speechless. How could there be so many tasks all of a sudden?
“The cultivation of a noble temperament; Subtask Two. Do you accept?” Zero asked.
Finn finally remembered the noble temperament cultivation task. The first task had been a subtask, and now there was a second one.
“Hey Zero, you honestly think this is how to cultivate a noble temperament? Isn’t this more like the behavior of a nouveau riche? Which noble shops like this?” Finn was close to tears. In his opinion, what was being developed was not a noble temperament but that of an upstart.
“Different people require different training methods. Will you accept it or not?” Zero said.
“Do I have the choice not to accept it?” Finn remembered his morning shopping spree, and although spending money was truly enjoyable, the time constraints and the challenge of completing the task had stressed him out. He didn’t want to experience that again.
“You can refuse. If you refuse this task, 500 points will be deducted from your score, and you are not allowed to accept new tasks within the next three months,” Zero decisively said.
“You’re the boss, I accept.” Could Finn really say no?
“Task: Cultivation of Noble Temperament. Subtask Two: A good horse deserves a good saddle, a good boat, a good sail. You need a car. Please complete this task before 12 0’clock tonight. Score will be given based on the level of task completion. Task completion reward: 100 basic points. Task failure punishment: Task system shuts down for one year.”
Finn was speechless. A sail too? Isn’t a sail some kind of battery? Was this some kind of advertisement? However, Finn quickly sprung from the couch.
If the task system shuts down for one year, that would be disastrous! Although a year’s time doesn’t seem like much, Finn hasn’t forgotten that his private parts still needed this task system to function properly. If it was shut down for a year, who knows if he would ever regain their function?
At least the time constraint wasn’t too strict, he still had time to buy the car. But Finn soon paused his movement to leave. Considering his lack of knowledge of where the 4S store was and his concern of buying just any car, he decided against leaving abruptly.
Even though Finn had only completed one task and failed another, while accepting a seemingly ridiculous long-term task, he had already figured out Zero’s character. This task probably required him to buy a high-end car.
Considering the name of the task— to cultivate a noble temperament — maybe he should just follow the line of thought to cultivate the ethos of a nouveau riche. Finn stroked his chin thinking about which car to buy – Flying Horse?
Eldora? The cars that he once never dared to dream about were now all emerging in his mind.
But in the end, Finn firmly decided to bite the bullet and not go for the Flying
Horse or Eldora. Although he quite liked the G-series off-road vehicle from Flying Horse, even the most expensive Flying Horse vehicle was only priced at a little over three million. Didn’t he notice that the task measures degree of completeness?
With that thought, Finn took out his phone and searched for the Ice Horse dealer store. He initially wanted to get a Bugatti Veyron, but considering its bold vibes and flamboyant aesthetic – which were not his style – and the fact that it couldn’t be driven on most roads, he decided against it.
That left cars like the Quadriga and Ice Horse. He didn’t even dream of the Quadriga Phantom because it would not be readily available, and he’d have to place an advanced order. But Ice Horse had a few car models that should be available in the 1+S store.
With that in mind, he searched for the Ice Horse specialized stores and immediately took a cab over. The Ice Horse 1+S store was located at the most bustling area in Celeston City, just a short walk from Nature Road. Arriving at the doorstep by taxi, Finn walked in without hesitation. Such a place would be somewhere he normally wouldn’t dare to enter, but now it was different. Although his attire was nothing fancy.
The car store didn’t have many Ice Horse cars, neither were there many people, but they weren’t as scarce as he imagined. Nowadays, there were quite a lot of rich people. Since there was no time limit from Zero this time, Finn leisurely browsed around.
The store only showcased four or five cars, three of which were sports cars, and the other was a four-door sedan. Finn walked straight towards the sedan. He was not particularly fond of Ice Horse, but he was not fussy about the car for the sake of completing the task. Moreover, even owning a Snow Red car was but a pipe dream for the old Finn.
As Finn approached the Ice Horse four-door sedan, a salesperson immediately greeted him with a smile, asking, “Hello sir, can I assist you with anything?” Despite Finn’s casual dressing, the salesperson was still smiling, displaying no signs of impatience.
“Um, do you have this car in stock?” asked Finn after browsing around and feeling the texture of the car.
“EH?” The salesperson was taken aback. Typically, the first thing the customers asked about was car performance or specifications. She had been prepared to start explaining these details but was caught off guard when Finn asked if the car was in stock.
“We do have it in black,” the salesperson quickly regained her composure and replied with a smile. There were two clients currently test driving, both successful individuals. After all, anyone without money wouldn’t venture into such a place, right?
Only someone like Finn would dare to stroll into such a place with his casual outfit..
