Red light was shocked and he threw another punch at Shi Lei. He backed away, attempting to break free from Shi Lei's grasp on his clothes.

Shi Lei held onto red light tightly and ripped his shirt apart, red light panicked and swore at him: "Shit! How dare you rip the new clothes I just bought last year? Do you fucking know what brand this is? Baleno! You ripped it……" Being extremely furious, red light entirely forgot that he just took away 300 yuan from Shi Lei, which was enough to buy a new shirt. Plus, it was already November, last year's clothes could not be considered as new……

With two continuous kicks, Shi Lei fell backwards, at the same time ripped red light's clothes into two parts.

Looking at the other half of his clothes in Shi Le's hands, red light was even angrier. Because last time went too smoothly, red light did not think that Shi Lei would resist this time, and he even thought of something good before, that this is the last time he will borrow money from Shi Lei, making it three times. It did not matter how much money he would 'borrow' from Shi Lei, but there will not be a fourth time. The ancestors said 'Do not do anything more than three times', red light thought that he was really a thug with dignity 

But this time, he merely borrowed 300 yuan, it was not even enough for a meal of crayfish, but this guy was resisting so stubbornly.

"How dare you rip my fucking clothes! My shirt is Jeanswest limited edition, do you know how much it's worth? If you give me 2,000 yuan right now, I'll let you go, if not……"

Yellow light stared blankly as his leader, and said uncontrollably: "Head, you just said it was Baleno……"

Red light's words were cut, he stared at yellow light, displeased, became even more irritated: "What's Baleno?"

Green light hurried up and added: "Head, you just said your clothes were Baleno, just now you said Jeanswest……"

Red light went blank for a second, then swore out of embarrassment: "Is that important? Is that important? I can say whatever I want about my own clothes, is it any of your business if I say it is Metersbonwe? Fuck, which side are you guys on?"

As he finished saying this, he rewarded yellow and green light with a kick each.

These two finally realised what they should be doing, immediately surrounded Shi Lei fiercely, who just took the chance and crawled up from the ground.

Shi Lei was speechless against these three weird thugs. If it was not for him being beat up by them, he might even laugh.

The pain on his body and the threat before his eyes made Shi Lei realise that even though these thugs' physiques were small and thin, while he could more or less be considered as buff, he still couldn't win. However, not even Hercules could contend against two at once, so Shi Lei did not think that it was possible for him to beat these three to the ground.

But the Scepter's threat rang in his ears. Even if it was only 300 yuan, he did not want to take the risk of losing anything.

Getting beat up by these three was only physical pain. Against the Scepter, he had no power to resist and Shi Lei did not dare to have any thoughts of fluking it.

Shi Lei was a good kid who never really fought with others since childhood. Under the situation of 1 VS 3, he was rather provoked.

He stared at the three thugs, he suddenly yelled and raised his fist towards red light.

The three also did not think that Shi Lei still dared to fight back under such a situation, and the person he aimed for was their leader.

The fist landed on red light's eye socket, making him unable to see anything. The world was filled with black stars.

Yellow and green light did not know what to do, and stared in disbelief at red light who covered his eyes.

Shi Lei did not let the chance slip, he immediately threw another fist, and landed heavily on red light's nose bridge……

Blood gushed out……

Although Shi Lei never really fought before, but the almost 180 cm height with a 70 kg body without any fat was not given to him in vain either. If it was a 1v1, none of these three could have been his match. Shi Lei's only disadvantages was that he did not have any experiences in fighting and was not ruthless enough.

But now, even though fighting experiences would not just appear out of thin air, but the ruthlessness had been forced out by the thugs.

"Give me back my money!" Shi Lei roared furiously once again, another fist fell on red light's other eye.

Red light fell down with both hands covering his eyes. Gold light shone in front of his eyes, as if walked into a new world built by gold, and rolled on the ground in pain.

Green and yellow light finally reacted; one swung a fist, the other raised a leg at the same time. Shi Lei, who did not have any experiences in fighting, once again, had been put down on the ground.

But this time, Shi Lei did not attempt to crawl back up. He even ignored yellow and green light, who were beating and kicking him, but crawled towards red light who was unable to stand up just like him. He sat on red light, hitting him fist by fist.

Shi Lei would hit red light for every fist that was thrown to him. Physical fitness did not let down Shi Lei. Yellow and green light were exhausted, they began to pant after merely a few fists and their beatings grew weaker and weaker. But Shi Lei's punches were extremely powerful, plus, that red light was also exhausted, and he began to beg for forgiveness after a short while.

"Stop hitting me, aiyo, stop…… Forgive me!"

Yellow and green light were also in a daze. They were used to to bullying others as they were more in numbers. Usually, the people they pick up were honest children who never dared to fight back, moreover, they had never seen someone who was as reckless as Shi Lei.

These two also stopped helplessly.

Shi Lei punched red light twice more as he could no longer feel pain on his body, and yelled hysterically: "Are you going to give me back my money or not?"

Red light did not dare to say another word, he wriggled shakily on the floor, but was unable to move as Shi Lei sat on him, and almost sobbed: "Bro, get off me, I can't get the money if you are sitting on me like this……" Shi Lei did not bother saying anything, he reached and searched his pockets, and finally found three 100 yuan paper notes.

After placing the money carefully into his own pockets, Shi Lei finally got off red light and stood up.

Seeing that green and yellow light had the means of punching him again, Shi Lei kicked red light again as he let out a yell like a pig being slaughtered. As if he understood the reason behind Shi Lei's kick, he yelled towards his followers in a hurry: "Move to the side, don't fight……"

Yellow and green light exchanged glances with each other, they had no choice but to take a step back.

Red light struggled to sit up, feeling like Shi Lei broke his bones. With a bruised and bloody face, he panted: "Bro, can I ask why you are only hitting me?"

Shi Lei widened his eyes and shouted: "You have my fucking money!"

"But they also beat you a lot……" Red light was almost dead from crying.

Shi Lei thought that what red light said was right, so, he abruptly turned around……

Perhaps because of his frightful presence, yellow and green light were scared by Shi Lei's glare. They looked at red light, who was filled with wounds, scars and traces of blood on his face, and they were horrified. 

"Sir, we can talk this out, don't use violence……"

Shi Lei did not think about anything and took a large step forward. Seeing green light step backwards, making him out of reach, he immediately changed his target and smacked yellow light.

Yellow light let out a shrilling cry: "Leader, you are cheating, don't do this to us!"

Shi Lei threw another punch, followed by a kick and yellow light fell on the ground. Green light was flurried at the sight of this, he turned around and ran away. Red light also crawled up from the ground in a hurry, and fled as quickly as possible.

Red, yellow and green light all sprinted away as Shi Lei chased after them while swinging his fist in the air……

Chapter 12 - Sliced Cold Chicken

Translator: Lav

Editor: Levs

Three days passed quickly and a mere 300 yuan was not difficult for Shi Lei to spend. In the blink of eye, it was Saturday night.

He took a nap in the afternoon for the sake of checking his bank balance as soon as it turns midnight.

The instant when the phone received the notification, the sleepy Shi Lei was as if revived with full health. He grabbed his phone so quickly that it left a ghost behind in the air. He tapped open the mobile bank app, and logged in with the password.

40,000 yuan!

This was the new balance on the card.

Shit! Why was it 40,000 instead of 30,000?

Shi Lei's first reaction was he dashed out of the empty dorm on a weekend, ran to the ATM in front of the school and inserted the mysterious black card.

After typing in the password, the whirlpool like hole appeared on the screen once again, the gold light in the middle gradually enlarged as it spun, eventually creating the shape of an ancient Scepter.

Shi Lei did not make the same mistake as before and asked with a modest attitude: "Respectful master, your humble slave is wondering, how did this week's balance become 40,000?"

The Scepter was satisfied with Shi Lei's attitude, but at the same time also irritated by the new questions that emerge every week. The asexual voice said: "This means the fortune you hold is becoming greater, isn't that a good thing? Plus, why can't it be 40,000?"

Shi Lei swore silently, but still maintained a polite expression on his face. He discovered that the Scepter was not as invincible as he thought. At least with the things that does not relate with spending money, what he was thinking, the Scepter had no way of knowing it.

"The first week was 10,000, second week was 20,000, wouldn't the third week be 30,000?" Shi Lei asked patiently.

The Scepter let out a freakish laugh, filled with disdain: "You lowly slave, you do not know about logic. Who told you that the weekly balance follows arithmetic sequence?"

'Damn, it even knew about arithmetic sequence. Mr. Scepter, you actually graduated with a mathematics bachelor, didn't you?'

Shi Lei thought quickly, first week 10,000, second week 20,000, third week 40,000……

"No way! Geometric series? Then next week would be 80,000 yuan?" Shi Lei's mind broke down. Originally, according to his expectation of arithmetic sequence, although every week the balance was increasing, but he would have about 500,000 yuan a week after a year, and after ten years, the weekly balance would be...... Hmm, fine, he won't think about what will happen after ten years. Surely after ten years he would have learnt how to spend money lavishly?

But having found out that the weekly balance increases in geometric series, Shi Lei was extremely alarmed and worried.

Geometric series, even though Shi Lei was not too good at math, he could calculate that the fourth week will be 80,000, fifth week will be 160,000…… It was 2 n-1, with n being the number of weeks……

This meant, in half a year's time, it would increase to an imaginable number, and after a year……

Shi Lei quickly calculated in his mind, what the hell would 251 be? Although Shi Lei could not calculate it in his mind, but he knew that his wealth would surpass everyone in the world.  

The richest person in the world?!

It was such an exciting and breath-taking idea, but who the hell wants to be that? Every week, he had to spend the wealth of the richest person in the world, no, it was possible that it was the wealth of multiple richest people in the world, surely it did not mean that he had to go buy planets? If this damned Scepter will really keep going like this, it would definitely cause inflation around the world. In less than two years' time, he would be so wealthy that even the entire earth's fortune added together cannot be compared to his. When that time comes, Shi Lei was afraid that he would have to purchase a few parallel universes in order to spend the money.

Shi Lei's expressions became dull and lifeless, this was unexpected……

As the Scepter saw that Shi Lei was battered out of his senses, it finally felt a sense of satisfaction. The fact that Shi Lei was not surprised by his first appearances always made the Scepter feel ashamed. Now that Shi Lei was shocked by the geometric series in which the quota increases just like all the other newly developed slaves, it finally felt even.

"Don't be silly, the balance I will give you will not grow at this crazy rate. In short, just remember that I have control over the amount of weekly balance, you do not have to worry about that. All you have to worry about is how to finish spending the money I give out each week. Right now, you are only doing beginner missions and you're doing it carelessly and casually, yet you are actually worrying about such a complicated question."

Shi Lei finally recovered from the surprise, feeling that he was worrying too much. The Scepter would not be that dumb. If it was really following the geometric series, it would not take long before it crushes the earth's economy, and that was obviously impossible.

A soft clicking sound rang beside his ears. Shi Lei became absent-minded; is that a finger clicking? Did this damned Scepter just click its fingers? But where are its hands?

"I almost forgot…… You did not finish spending this week's quota. It was merely 20,000 yuan, yet you…… Stupid slave, accept your penalty……"

Shi Lei yelled in panic: "I finished spending those money, how could I not!" He felt immense fear in his heart, constantly trying to recall which part of the transactions was not counted by the Scepter, but it did not give him the time to do so.

He felt heat emitting from his crotch. Shi Lei abruptly looked down, the blood fog that appeared twice already again filled the air, and this time, it was at the part he worried the most about.

'Please no, I'm still a virgin yet to touch a woman, if you gave fucking penalties like this, receiving more money won't do shit!'

Obviously, the Scepter's penalty did not disappear because of Shi Lei's thoughts. But luckily, the uncounted quota was small. The blood fog which just appeared already became thinner and disappeared quickly.

"Think again carefully, did you really spend all the money? Although it was only about ten yuan, but it was approximately 0.001% of quota which you did not finish spending. Stupid guy, I will state this once again, do not try to trick me. I know every single one of your expenditure clearly.

Shi Lei unzipped his pants and looked down. Holy shit, cold sliced chicken!

The bold, cold sliced chicken looked extremely hideous, it did not look like something that grew on Shi Lei's body.

He was relieved; thank god the key part was still there, just lacking the hair. Although it became cold sliced chicken, just like his head, he knew that it would grow back sooner or later. It appeared that the Scepter was still warning with small penalties. Although it was only about ten yuan, but if the Scepter did not have mercy, it could have been half of an ear, or half of his pinky finger, making him partially disabled.

But why? Which ten yuan was not counted into the quota?

As Shi Lei was in deep thought, he did not realise that the Scepter disappeared and the black card was ejected out of the ATM.

A voice sounded behind him: "Hey bro, hurry up and take your card. There's only a few seconds left and if you don't it'll be swallowed."

Shi Lei suddenly snapped back to reality and turned around. A student of his age walked in.

As he pulled out the black card from the ATM, Shi Lei thought, it would be great if this damned card was actually swallowed.

"Yo, American Express Centurion Card(1), bro you are rich! Fuerdai?" The student's eyes shone. Although he did not see the card clearly, but the dazzling light with the entirely black card, resembled those cards that were made especially for the rich.

Shi Lei glanced at him blankly and nodded, and silently approved his identity as a fuerdai.
