Chapter 1291 Negotiating Terms with the Scepter Again

Shi Lei told Wei Boti his current situation.

"You can help me find out who the original owner of this winery is. It's best to find out the history of this winery, etc..."

Wei Puti hung up the phone without saying anything and didn't even quote the price.

With Shi Lei's current membership level in Eye of the Dark Night, the price quoted for this kind of work of inquiring about fixed information would not exceed 100,000 yuan at best. There was no need for Wei Puti to declare to Shi Lei in advance for such a small amount of money.

Shi Lei knew that although there were people on duty outside the castle, those people would not come in as long as there were no strange noises coming from the castle. Therefore, even if there is a big problem with that bookcase, no one will find it in a short time.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Shi Lei entered the six-digit password in his head and summoned the scepter.

After the scepter appeared, the first sentence seemed a little exciting: "Level 4 manager, have you found the task target?"

Shi Lei sighed and replied: "Unfortunately, we did find the secret passage of this ancient castle, and we also discovered something in the secret passage. However, the development of things is different from what we expected. There is something hidden in this secret passage. , not the twenty-three paintings and calligraphy.”

The scepter was obviously a little depressed. It said: "Stupid prairie dog, since you have not completed the mission, why did you find the noble person like me? Shouldn't you go all out to find the object of the mission now?"

Shi Lei said slowly: "If you think it's meaningless for me to summon you, then just cut off your contact with me. Anyway, it's not me who loses."

The scepter was almost about to cut off the connection with Shi Lei, but at the last moment when it made its decision, it suddenly realized something.

"What on earth do you mean?"

"It's not interesting, just leave it like that. I want to return the card..." Shi Lei was also a little unhappy, after all, this damn scepter seemed too snobbish.

The scepter knew that Shi Lei must have mastered something, so it actually laughed twice and spoke to Shi Lei in a very gentle tone.

Of course, its so-called gentle tone also sounded very uncomfortable, like an old eunuch with a knotted vocal cord speaking.

This gave Shi Lei a creepy feeling.

"speak nicely!"

Shi Lei shouted angrily, and the scepter actually returned to its previous speaking tone.

"Did you find anything in this secret passage?"

Shi Lei rolled his eyes and said, "Since your attitude is pretty good, I'll tell you. Although I couldn't find the calligraphy and paintings you gave me in the mission, I did find a batch of... …Well, I thought you might also be interested in the artwork.”

There was surprise in the voice of the scepter: "What work of art? You actually discovered another work of art? It seems that giving you the ability to use machinery is the most correct choice for a noble person like me."

Shi Lei rolled his eyes, this two hundred and fifty scepter, even if it was praising others, he would never forget to bring it with him. But it was really difficult for Shi Lei to understand. It was just a piece of code. Why was Mao so narcissistic?

In other words, what is the point of a piece of code having the attribute of narcissism?

"There are a total of thirty-five oil paintings here, and their authors are Impressionist painters including Cézanne, Monet, Degas, etc. There are a total of fifteen painters, all of whom are representatives of Impressionism."

The scepter suddenly became excited, and said eagerly: "Okay, okay, great. Although I failed to complete the task, this discovery is quite valuable. Come on, give me all these paintings. "

Shi Lei rolled his eyes again, thinking that nothing could be so cheap. Are you trying to steal it?

And am I the kind of person who might be robbed by you?

"It is impossible to give it to you, my dear scepter. You should know that I have never been someone who is likely to give away what I get for free. Have you forgotten about the statue of the goddess Athena last time?"

"Okay, okay, I'll give you the same conditions. Give me those oil paintings quickly..."

Shi Lei was angry. This is so insincere. Do you think I am a three-year-old child that is easy to fool?

"Scepter, do you dare to be more shameless? Your sister! What were the conditions for the statue of the goddess Athena last time? Then it means that the tasks you will give me in the future will be given a level. According to different levels, I can Receive different reputation points as rewards. This thing is a one-time thing. Can you use it again? "

The scepter was stunned. It also realized that it was too eager, so it slowed down its tone, and after some calculation, it said: "If it is finally confirmed that the thirty-five Impressionist paintings in your hand are authentic , and it is indeed the work of the representative figures of Impressionism as you said, then, depending on the quantity and quality, I will be able to set it as an A-level or S-level task, so that the fourth-level manager can obtain the corresponding reputation value. "

Shi Lei then nodded and said: "This is a somewhat normal attitude. However, if you want to use reputation points to send me away, it is obviously impossible. You should know that to complete the task, in addition to reputation points, Rewards, and a series of other rewards, how could I give these paintings to you with only a mere reputation value? However, your idea is correct, but please give me another one that is more tempting. Let’s make an exchange on the terms!”

The scepter fell silent, thinking about what conditions it would need to satisfy Shi Lei.

After thinking about it, it said: "Let me see these paintings first. It doesn't take long. You only need to give me three minutes. As noble as I am, I can determine the value of these paintings. After knowing the value, I Only then can a reasonable exchange condition be given.”

Shi Lei didn't hesitate and directly agreed to the scepter proposal. Anyway, those paintings now belonged to him. He just lent them to Heika temporarily for three minutes. After three minutes, Heika would not be able to continue studying these paintings. Three minutes, even if it is as powerful as a black card, should only be enough to distinguish authenticity. Otherwise, it would not ask Shi Lei to leave the target object with it for at least a month after completing the task.

The painting gradually disappeared in front of Shi Lei, and three minutes later, it gradually returned to its original position.

There was obvious joy in the voice of the scepter, and it said: "After verification by the supreme black card, these paintings are indeed the works of the representative Impressionist painters. After identification, this batch of paintings can be rated as S level, which is already the same as the two The value of the thirteen paintings is roughly the same."

When Shi Lei heard this, he was a little excited. He immediately grabbed the tail of the scepter and said, "Since they are all of similar value, and what you need is just works of art, it doesn't necessarily have to be the twenty Three paintings. Otherwise, how about I give you these thirty-five impressionist paintings as if I have completed the previous task? Of course, I can guarantee that if I have the opportunity to obtain the twenty-three calligraphy and paintings, it will still be the same. I will leave it to you to study. This way, I don’t have to worry about that task every day..."

"What a wonderful idea you have!"

Scepter flatly rejected Shi Lei's proposal without hesitation, which made Shi Lei feel a little frustrated and a little bit lost.

In fact, Shi Lei also knows that this kind of replacement is 90% impossible in front of the black card. Only humans will pay attention to its value and price, and the black card is just a piece of code. It doesn't care whether the value matches or not. The characteristics of the code It is simple logic, right is right, wrong is wrong, and the original subject matter cannot be replaced with the same value.
