Chapter 379: Chapter 373 New Task
Translator: 549690339
“Just stab me now, damn, how am I supposed to do this task.” Finn Lewis moaned exasperatedly. But this time, the Zero program didn’t even appear, leaving Finn utterly speechless. What the hell is this? The task seemed simple enough – buying a private island overseas. But that’s not exactly easy to do. First, there’s the issue of size. An island of 10 square kilometers is considerably huge, and there aren’t many islands this big worldwide.
It’s hard to imagine that such a large island would be sold to an individual as a private island. Because, you could potentially build so many things on an island of that size. But now, this task requires Finn to buy such a large island. Money isn’t an issue for him, but can you imagine the freaking high price tag for something like that? And for someone to actually agree to sell it?
It’s not like we’re in some parallel universe where there are still undiscovered islands up for grabs. Every island in the whole wide world has been claimed, so completing this task isn’t going to be easy. Moreover, Zero’s tasks also have a timeline and completion level criteria.
“Olivia Thatcher, I need your advice,” Finn moaned, requesting for her analytical abilities.
“Master, according to my search, there are fewer than five islands globally that meet our criteria and are currently up for sale. Most are located in Northern Addition,” Olivia stated bluntly.
Finn grimaced. What the hell would I do in the icy wasteland of Northern Canada? Zero only said that exceeding the time limit would decrease the completion rate of the task, but it didn’t mean that buying the island within a year would result in 100% task completion.
Finn is very familiar with Zero’s tricky style. “What about domestically?” Finn arched his eyebrows and asked.
With only five islands up for grabs worldwide, you could imagine how difficult it would be for Finn to secure one. “There are many options in our country, as private islands have been steadily opening up to individuals in recent years. Though there aren’t many exceeding 5 square kilometers in size, it’s doable. But it’s going to require a lot of effort on your part, Young Master.”
“How big is Fish Killer Island?” Finn asked, thinking about Fishing Island.
“Master, please don’t get your hopes up, as I doubt they would sell you that island,” Olivia promptly splashed cold water on his idea.
“Oh well,” Finn sighed in exasperation after wracking his brains to no avail. He decided not to think about it anymore, the solution would present itself when the time comes. He still had time before deadline, but considering the task’s completion rate, he felt it would be better to start thinking about it sooner.
Buying a football team for one million points, equivalent to 100 billion Federal coins, seemed extravagant at first, but now Finn felt he should continue splurging. After all, he couldn’t let his one million points freeze over, right?
“Zero, I want to draw the ordinary level item unlock permission.” Frustrated, Finn prepared to play the lottery, he still had a chance to draw.
This time, Zero was swift to bring out the lottery system he had designed last time. Finn once again hit the start button, following quickly with the stop button. Since it’s an ordinary item unlock permission, he felt there wasn’t much to be surprised about, so he hit stop randomly.
When the spin wheel stopped, the revealed item left Finn a bit upset. What on earth was this porous honeycomb architecture technology? He couldn’t understand it just from the literal meaning. But as the unlocking authority started, Finn quickly located the exchange location for this item from his phone.
But seeing the exchange points for this item, Finn turned utterly speechless. All the exchange permissions below fifty thousand points he already had, so the permission Finn won should be above that, and it seems like anything below five hundred thousand points is classed under ordinary items to exchange for Zero. But the exchange price for this item Finn picked was only sixty-eight thousand points!
In other words, out of so many permission items from 50,001 to 500,000 points, Finn just got one of the cheapest! Fine, it’s not the absolute minimum, but what’s the difference between sixty-eight thousand points and fifty thousand and one point? The key is, Finn didn’t even know what this thing was used for.
“Olivia, what does this do?” Finn asked after failing to figure out the meaning himself.
“Sorry, Master. I am not entirely sure. My database does not have any related data. It’s likely that you’ll only know once you exchange for it,” Olivia responded. Olivia was not omniscient; her database wouldn’t possibly encompass everything.
With frustration, Finn skimmed through the description of this technology. Every item in Zero’s exchange platform had a product description, but you had to understand what it means. Like, what does it mean by structure technology optimized by Blue sound sea sensitive technology, and materials can maintain a Kil-variance level with no less than 3?.
What the hell is this Blue sound sea sensitive technology? What’s this Kil-variance level? Like what he encountered before regarding the Six-Dimensional Saiyan Crystal, these names were probably translated directly by Zero, and the hidden meanings behind them are left there for you to guess.
For instance, if there are Martians, and you inform them that a certain item is produced applying Newton’s Three Laws, would they understand who Newton was? And without that knowledge, would they understand your three laws? Therefore, Finn was completely at a loss about these descriptions.
Exasperated at winning a completely unknown item, Finn shook his head in helplessness. He set it aside temporarily, planning to exchange it when he had more time. He had to settle the Atletico Madrid issue first.
After making his offer to Maxwell Messi, Finn contemplated before pulling out a list, instructing Jose to make offers one by one to all. The list comprised of everyone from forwards to backs, including goalkeepers, a total of 28 top-tier footballers. The price of these players ranged from Messi’s and Cristiano Ronaldo’s hundreds of millions to the tens of millions. The least expensive had a projected price of thirty million South Federation currency, according to Finn’s over-the-top evaluation.
