480 Money Pi ? (1/2)
A toneless, disembodied voice responded to William's objection.
”10 million dollars is nothing. You have the rest of your life to earn it back. The Deluxe Superpower Package, however, will be taken off the shelves tomorrow. Once you miss this chance, you'll never be able to get your hands on it.”
William knitted his eyebrows in frustration.
”But...But I..,” he began to stammer, ”I don't have 10 million dollars. My annual income is only 500 thousand dollars.”
”Peasant,” Zhao Yao thought, pursuing his lips.
He continued to operate the deflective field to stave off the six superpowers as he spoke, ”Then how much cash do you have?”
William hesitated for a moment before replying, ”Two million dollars. That's all that I have.”
”Why, William, you're in luck. Our special White Day Combo Package is still available. Better yet, there's an 80% discount right now. You'll only have to pay two million dollars for a package that is worth 10 million. Isn't this a wonderful coincidence?”
”Are you serious? 80% off? That's a big loss for you, isn't it?”
”Yes, it is. But, for you, it's a great gain. Every time you purchase a package, I'm losing money. The more you spend, the more I lose.”
William's eyes were now sparkling with excitement.
”I'll have it. Give me the special White Day Combo Package,” he stated.
Zhao Yao was grinning from ear to ear once William transferred the promised two million dollars to his account. He loved missions that gifted him both money and experience points. This top-up task earned him 100 experience points for every 50 thousand dollars he received. This meant that he had just pocketed 4,000*2 points.
It was awesome.
With the money securely in his account, he instantly shrunk the deflective field and wrapped it snugly around William's body like cellophane.
”The special White Day Combo Package has been downloaded and received. Congratulations on your new super strength, super speed, and indestructible body.”
William watched in awe as he was cloaked in the golden sheath of the deflective field. The incoming superpowers could not penetrate it to hurt him. They bounced off him easily, destroying and scorching the surroundings instead.
The six supercats were shell-shocked.
”What kind of power is this?”
”Why are all our superpowers useless against him?”
William made a move as they tried to wrap their heads around the situation. He seemed to have made only one step to end up right behind one of the supercats. He nipped it gently, causing the poor thing to fall into an instant coma. He then tossed it away like a frisbee.
Boom!
The rest of the supercats jumped into action. A gigantic ball of fire swallowed William, obscuring him from view. The fireball crashed onto the ground, where it started rolling at fiery speed. Cheese halted it by encasing it with rocks and stones, transforming it into a small hill.
