Shi Lei felt that there was a lot of hope, but it was just a guess, this was just a possible clue.

However, Scepter felt that there was great hope, and after careful calculation, he found that the probability of finding the twenty-three calligraphy and paintings in this ancient castle had risen to about twenty-three percent.

Twenty-three percent is not a particularly high probability compared to the previous low probability that the sincerity was negligible, but it was obviously high enough for Scepter and Black Card to make such a big concession.

Directly extended the time of the additional reward by a quota cycle, I have to say, this concession is really big.

"Now, my noble scepter, tell me what this bonus is. ”

Now that the scepter has analyzed that the probability of finding the twenty-three calligraphy and paintings in the castle has reached twenty-three percent, then it is time for Shi Lei to understand what the additional reward is. If this so-called extra reward is not ideal, Shi Lei doesn't mind really giving up this task, even if he threatens to give up several times before, in fact, he is just negotiating terms with Scepter and Black Card.

On this point, Scepter did not raise any objections, nor did he show any tsundere.

It says: "In addition to completing the mission, within the range of 10 billion dollars, the part of the funds you save for the level 4 manager can be converted into independent funds, and in addition to the 30,000 reputation points that the level 4 manager will be able to complete in the next credit cycle, you can also get a chance to extend the time spent at that level or halve the amount of spending." ”

Shi Lei was stunned for a moment, extend the consumption time, or halve the consumption amount?

Wait, that's a bit vague, but it sounds pretty good.

"What does it mean to extend the consumption time of this level's quota, is it for the extension of the entire level, or is there only one extension of the quota cycle?"

The Scepter replied honestly, "It's for the entire level of extension." ”

This sounds very good, which means that if the next level, that is, the fifth level, if the quota cycle is still three months, Shi Lei can extend the quota cycle......

Wait, how much longer?

"How much is the extension? Don't play word games with me, one day is an extension, and a hundred years is also an extension. ”

"Doubling the time spent on consumption. ”

Doubled? That sounds really good.

In the end, Shi Lei needs to complete the halving of consumption within the same quota cycle time, and the same end is the same.

However, Shi Lei must be more cautious in the face of the scepter and the black card.

So, he cautiously confirmed: "So, choosing to halve the consumption limit is also for the entire level, right?"

Scepter snorted and said, "It seems that your IQ has really improved effectively. ”

Shi Lei pursed his lips and said, "Then these two options are actually the same concept." Not right......"

Shi Lei suddenly realized that this didn't seem to be a concept.

These two conditions, considering the difficulty of consumption, are actually really the same.

Assuming that at the next level, the consumption limit of each quota cycle is one billion yuan, and the cycle length is still three months, then, whether you choose to extend the time or choose to halve the quota, it actually requires Shi Lei to consume close to 170 million yuan per month.

It looks the same.

But in fact, there is still a fundamental difference.

Because, the extension of the selection time means that if Shi Lei originally needed to be promoted to level six in one year at level five, he would need to be promoted to level six in two years, which can effectively delay the time for him to upgrade.

But if he chooses to halve his spending limit, then he may still be upgraded for a year, but it will help him level up perfectly. It's just that after leveling up, he will face more powerful challenges faster.

It can be said that if the attitude is a little negative, Shi Lei chooses to live more easily in the short term, then delaying the upgrade is of course the best choice.

However, if you consider it from the perspective of cultivating yourself and getting yourself out of the mercy of the black card as soon as possible, then it is a better choice to upgrade as scheduled, but the upgrade is more perfect and makes him grow more.

The most important thing is that Shi Lei has 30% of the non-income investment, 20% of the city's copy consumption, and 10% of the collectible consumption.

If you choose the former, this part of the money will not change, and Shi Lei's consumption difficulty will be further reduced.

And if you choose the latter, the quota will be halved, and these proportions will naturally be halved, but in fact, the difficulty of Shi Lei's consumption has not been reduced so much.

But now is not the time for Shi Lei to consider these and weigh the pros and cons, after all, it is still early to upgrade, he got the twenty-three calligraphy and paintings, and it is still early to complete this task, he doesn't have to make a choice so quickly.

But no matter what, Shi Lei will definitely not choose to use this reward at level four, and must save it for the next level or the next level before using it. In this way, the difficulty of Shi Lei to complete the consumption task can be reduced to the greatest extent.

So, let's first focus on the problems we have to face.

Shi Lei asked again: "In addition, are there any rewards? This does not seem to be as good as imagined, after all, consumption is actually not the biggest problem for me." ”

Scepter said with some annoyance: "Your IQ is indeed much higher than before, well, I will tell you that in addition to the rewards just mentioned, you can also get a chance to ask a question to the noble as me." This question can be beyond your level, and no matter what question you have, you must answer it truthfully. ”

Shi Lei's eyes widened, and he asked in surprise: "So, I want to ask you how to cancel the contract with the black card?"

Scepter snorted, and said, "As I have said, any question is fine, but I would like to warn you that you had better think through your question and not ask a question that will not help you in any way." ”

Shi Lei was slightly stunned, he thought, perhaps, after establishing a contract with the black card, there is no way to cancel the contract at all, unless he dies, or the black card disappears.

However, since any question is fine, Shi Lei also has enough time to think about it and weigh the most suitable question.

Perhaps, you can ask what is the purpose of the black card to search for artworks.

Under the issue of terminating the contract with the black card, Shi Lei believes that if he can figure out the purpose of the black card to find and collect artworks, he may be able to know how to terminate the contract with the black card.

Even if the contract still can't be dissolved, Shi Lei believes that this may also play a crucial role in his future.

Of course, what to ask, Shi Lei can also think slowly.

"Any other rewards?"

"You insatiable skunk-mole! what reward do you want? no!" the scepter looked a little angry.

Shi Lei laughed and said, "Aren't I just asking casually! Okay, now, let's talk about what should be said on the settlement day." ”
