Chapter 78 - Malicious Bet

As Shi Lei walked out of the self-service bank, he was still in a daze. 

After he ejected the Black Card, he used his phone and researched the cars which the Scepter mentioned. The branded cars are all around 5 or 6 million, which just seem decent in the Scepter's point of view. 

But, he initially thought that only the Koenigsegg cost 20 million, but he didn't imagine that the McLaren P1 was also at least 10 million. 

As for Koenigsegg, there was one new model that's in the market right now at the price of 26 million. He also looked up the Bugatti which he knew, which was worth 25 million. After he Baidu'ed, Shi Lei realised that the starting price for Bugatti is 25 million, and the highest may cost up to 45 million. But Koenigsegg, he didn't even know what the hell that was. The cheapest right now in China was the 26 million one, but the most expensive one, called Koenigsegg one:1, was worth a billion…… 

Shi Lei felt cold sweat dripping down his face. He could not blame himself for not knowing these brands, because the distance between him and those are just too far. If the Black Card didn't exist, Shi Lei would never imagine how much money he could earn in his life. If it was at the rate of 200,000 or 300,000 yuan per year, he would probably only earn about 10 million in his entire life. Not to mention the most expensive Koenigsegg, he won't even be able to afford the cheapest, and this is understanding the circumstance that he doesn't not eat or drink. If Shi Lei was to live his ordinary life, he would never have the chance to drive cars worth over a million, so much that he could only look at Wu Haoyuan's Bumblebee which was 400,000 yuan. 

On the way back, Shi Lei felt too heavy to walk. 

Is that what it feels like to be a billionaire? But why did Shi Lei feel unbelievable after listening to it? 

Then, he remembered that the Scepter said that the millionaire card is pretty useless, after he leveled up a few times, he could also live a life like that. 

Shi Lei was blank. Live a life like that? He needed to spend at least a few millions a week, right? But the point was that the sum won't accumulate and Shi Lei was trapped by confusion. 

Sitting on a stone bench in school, Shi Lei could not calm down for a long time. 

Eventually, he composed himself. Since he had received the Black Card, he will try his best and at least survive. 

Taking out his phone, Shi Lei wanted to call Wu Haoyuan to inform him on the location for tomorrow. But he remembered that he didn't have Wu Haoyuan's number.

Shi Lei remembered that Sun Yiyi knew Wu Haoyuan, and she asked to borrow his money, so she should have his phone number. 

He sent a WeChat message to Sun Yiyi. Shi Lei told her: Yiyi, I just talked to my friend. He said that he has a few friends who just came over today from Shanghai, all driving supercars. They just happened to have a party tomorrow, they'll bring me and give me enough face. 

Quickly, Sun Yiyi replied: Really? 

Shi Lei immediately replied: Of course it's real. I would never lie to you. 

Sun Yiyi sent a smiley face first, followed by a message: Thank god. Your friend is a good person. 

Shi Lei then asked: What's Wu Hoayuan's number? I need to tell him tomorrow's address. 

Sun Yiyi: Let me look for it in my blocked list. I blocked him a long time ago. 

After a short while, Sun Yiyi sent a message again and it was a phone number. 

Without another word, Shi Lei called Wu Haoyuan. Quickly, he picked up. 

Over the phone, Wu Haoyuan sounded rather polite, but as soon as Shi Lei said his name, Wu Haoyuan exploded. 

"You brat, you dare to still call me? I thought you hid your head inside your shell like a turtle! I remember after I left the restaurant that you didn't even give me your contact……" 

Shi Lei cut him off mercilessly: "Cut the crap, am I not calling you right now? Tomorrow at 10am, right? At the foot of Qing Long mountain, in front of that park, don't tell me you don't know that place!" 

"You went to find helpers? Now that you have someone helping you, you are showing off? Let's talk about this first. What if you lose tomorrow? I can't just call my friends to bring out a bunch of cars just to show you, and you just leave after you lose?" Wu Haoyun grit his teeth in fury. 

Shi Lei laughed lightly. Facing Wu Haoyuan's forcefulness, he calmed down completely. "Oh, I almost forgot about that. Ok, what do you want to do? But I recommend you leave a way out for yourself, so you don't lose everything!" 

Wu Haoyun became furious immediately: "I'm going to lose to a loser like you? I don't know what kind of people you found, and borrowed what cars to let you talk like this! Don't go all out? No way. You should leave some room for yourself. Are you scared that my condition is too rigorous and that after you lose, you don't have a stepping stone down? Shi Lei, I'm telling you, tomorrow, just be ready to lose your face!" 

Shi Lei laughed in secret. That was his whole point. He wanted Wu Haoyuan to think that he meant himself. But with that Koenigsegg, Shi Lei believed that even if Wu Haoyun sold himself, he wouldn't be able to afford it. And this car, Wu Dong didn't even have it and there's no way that the Wu family could borrow it in any way. If Wu Haoyuan goes all out, the more face he will lose. 

As if he was upset, Shi Lei breathily said: "Fine! You think of it, it doesn't matter what it is, I'll take it on!" 

"Remember what you said!" Wu Haoyuan was furious. He had already thought of the bet and said: "Qing Long mountain, yeah? There's a lake there. If the cars you borrowed aren't as good as mine, you get to strip naked, jump into the lake, and swim a full circle. It doesn't matter if you don't know how to swim. The water near the bank isn't deep, just walk a circle where the water goes over the shoulder. Then, you'll stand on the bank naked and scream 'I'm an idiot' three times!" 

Shi Lei was shocked. He didn't know that Wu Haoyuan would go this far. Except he didn't know how majestic the scene would be after Wu Haoyuan loses and had to do that in front of everyone. 

"Ok, ok, ok, you are an idiot, I already know!" Shi Lei laughed. 

Wu Haoyuan realised what he said and loathed Shi Lei even more. 

"Stop trying to take useless advantages verbally. You dare or not, give me an answer!" 

"Then, if I win, you'll do this too? You'll swim a circle naked, then stand on the bank and shout you are an idiot three times?" 

"You? Win against me? You are daydreaming!" 

Shi Lei ridiculed: "What? Master Wu is too scared?" 

"Why would I be!" 

"It's a deal then. I already filmed this call, don't try to escape from it tomorrow!" Shi Lei said seriously. 

Wu Haoyuan glowered: "Brat, if you try to get out of it tomorrow, I will strip you naked myself and throw you into the lake. And, if you don't do it, I will make sure that you don't get your graduation certificate at the end of your fourth year!" 

"You should worry about yourself more!" Shi Lei ended the called and exclaimed; this Wu Haoyuan, he's going way too far. As for whether Wu Haoyuan will obey to the condition of the bet or not, he's not worried in the slightest. 

The Scepter said that all the attendants for tomorrow's cocktail party are fuerdai over 50 billions worth of assets, and even some children of the officials. These people had seen everything, but perhaps not someone who swam naked in the middle of winter and called himself an idiot. They would love to see that. 

Shi Lei shivered as he thought of swimming in the middle of the winter. 

No one would die, right?!!

Chapter 79 - Shi Shao and Wei Shao

Shi Lei woke up early at 10am, called for a taxi and went to Sun Yiyi's place. 

Shi Lei thought that they will be socialising with a bunch of super rich fuerdai, his clothing would somewhat be fine, but Sun Yiyi's was too plain. 

Plus, Shi Lei was certain that buying things for Sun Yiyi would be included within the quota. He had about 20,000 yuan left, which should be enough for buying a new set of clothes for Sun Yiyi. 

Because he told Sun Yiyi that he will pick her up in the morning, she woke up early and made breakfast for Shi Lei. 

Shi Lei greeted Sun Yiyi's mother and she seemed fine and joined them for breakfast.

The car service he rented was for half a day, so the car was still waiting outside after they finished breakfast. Shi Lei took Sun Yiyi to De Ji plaza, which was the place where he bought the Alienware laptops. 

When he pulled her into a branded shop, she was horrified, as if her feet was rooted to the floor, she didn't dare to walk in further. 

"That's going to cost so much! No!" She said to Shi Lei. 

Shi Lei ruffled her hair and said: "My friend is a super rich fuerdai, all the friends he brought will be as rich as him. If you dress like this, aren't you losing face for my friend? Look at me, all of these are Armani, but it's not as expensive as what you think!" 

After a while, Sun Yiyi finally went in unwillingly. It was still early and the employee was droopy. But when she saw Shi Lei bringing in a beauty, her eyes shone. 

Those employees had rather good taste. They saw Shi Lei's clothes and immediately knew what brand it was. The guy was handsome, and the girl was beautiful, they were even more passionate. But inevitably, they thought: another young master had fallen for a Cinderella. After a while, Shi Lei chose a long dress and a small coat for Sun Yiyi. Together, it was a little over 20,000 yuan, so he only had 3,000 or 4,000 yuan left, and it would be gone after a few meals. Sun Yiyi was even more terrified after she saw the price tag. It was so expensive yet Shi Lei spent as if it wasn't his money. Sun Yiyi originally thought that after today, she would come back and refund it since it should be an option for these branded shops. However, the employees were too fast with their actions. As soon as Shi Lei said she'll just wear it, the employee immediately cut off all price tags and Sun Yiyi could no longer refund it. 

But since they bought it already, she could only leave with it. She walked very awkwardly, as if she didn't know how to walk anymore. 

She was scared to wrinkle the clothes because it cost 20,000 yuan. To this, Shi Lei was as helpless a month ago, he was in the same situation as Sun Yiyi, but not as bad as Sun Yiyi. Although the Black Card was constantly threatening his life, but it also provided him with an extremely materialistic life which other people may never experience in their whole life. 

Due to Sun Yiyi's unwillingness to work with Shi Lei and wasted some time on buying clothes, they were still a bit late when they arrived at Qing Long mountain despite that they rushed on the way there. 

After they got off the car, not to mention Shi Lei and Sun Yiyi, even the driver of the taxi was surprised. 

Although his car was the luxurious type for online taxis, but it was only about 600,000 yuan and didn't really count as luxurious. Compared to those cars before his, it was absolutely nothing compared to them. 

When Shi Lei came out of the car whilst holding Sun Yiyi's hand, a young lad about 20 years old greeted them with a bright smile and said: "Shi Shao, you are finally here! We waited so long!" The online taxi driver thought, if you are rich, why did you call for my car? If he was friends with those people, he would be of the same level as them. This type of people, they didn't only have their own cars, but they have drivers too. 

Shi Lei was very surprised too. He didn't expect to be recognised as soon as he arrived. If they greeted him like this, how do they forget this after? The Black Card's mystery increased even more in Shi Lei's eyes. 

Although, Sun Yiyi wasn't as surprised. He thought that this young man was Shi Lei's friend, and the only reason why he addressed Shi Lei as Shi Shao was to make him look good. 

Shi Lei didn't know how to address him, so he just bowed slightly and said: "Sorry, sorry. There was some traffic, sorry for the wait." 

Then, he turned around, paid the driver, and said: "Ok, thank you, I'll end the rental here." 

The driver accepted the money in silence but secretly thought, the internet said that all fuerdai are arrogant and ignorant, but those are probably not the really wealthy ones. Look at these people, they are the real millionaires with good manners and they were even polite to a civilian like him. 

A group of people surrounded him. That young man said: "This is Shi Lei, son of the family Shi, the one I told you guys about. He organised the event today and apparently he'll show us something fun!" Shi Lei scanned them. There were only about ten people and were the owners of the supercars. The eldest in the group was not older than 30 years of age, the youngest was about the same age as Shi Lei. 

These people weren't distant to each other. Socialising with them was normal since they were kids. As long as they are in the same circle, they were no strangers to each other. When they were being introduced by someone in the same circle, as emphasised as 'Shi Shao', his identity won't be any lower than them. So, they all greeted Shi Lei and gave him their names. 

To these people, any titles are all useless. The real valuable thing is their name. Plus, even if these people were meeting each other for the first time, they would not exchange their phone numbers like ordinary people. If they wanted to, they could easily find each other and come in contact with them. This saved Shi Lei a lot of trouble because if they exchanged any contact number, even if it was only WeChat, it would make a difference in this one day millionaire life. 

"Shi Shao, Wei Shao, what's the fun? Give us some hints." 

Someone suggested in a joking way and he was supported by many people. Shi Lei just knew that the person who introduced him to others was called Wei Shao, although he was yet to learn his name, but at least he knew how to address him. 

This Wei Shao, he was probably arranged by the Black Card, except he didn't know how his memories will be wiped out after today. But, if the Black Card could kill someone without a trace, merely some memories should be easily. 

Although he didn't know whether they'll remember his existence or not, but in front of these noble young men, Shi Lei was still somewhat intimidated. 

Hence, Shi Lei said: "Don't be so polite, just called me Shitou because i got used to this title. About today's fun, Wei Shao, do you want to tell them about it?" Shi Lei kept them in suspense, but in reality, he was scared to expose himself more.
