Chapter 508: Chapter 502: New Task
Finn Lewis bought all the nearby waters and the entire Bayno Bay.
Seafood like abalone, which hardly moves long distances, was even easier. Although dealing with other kinds was a little more difficult, he managed to drive away all large carnivorous fish from these waters, and then raised an enormous and terrifying amount of seafood here.
Although 150 billion Federal coins worth of seafood might sound excessive, considering that these were highly prized species in modern society such as bluefin tuna used for farming completely sealed marine fisheries, it wasn’t too difficult to reach that number. Especially considering specimens over 1000 pounds each fetching tens to hundreds of millions of Federal coins, and the heftier, high-quality bluefin tuna fetched even higher prices!
Not to mention, the vast time difference between two universes allowed them to raise a large amount of seafood. Nevertheless, it still took Finn two whole days to cash in enough coins to reach his goal, and the amount of coins he actually accumulated wasn’t just 1.5 million coins, but a full 2 million coins.
After gathering enough coins, Finn immediately spent 1.5 million coins to redeem his one-time usage rights.
“Task: open a new Six-dimensional Saiyan Space, and harness the power of a single person to fully develop enough self-protection abilities. Upon task completion with a proficiency above 80%, the Six-Dimensional Saiyan Crystal will become a reward. Quitting is not allowed before task completion. You can use three T-series robotic protection rights. After three uses, the task will end automatically. Proficiency evaluation is based on the final battle strength. Before entering the Six-Dimensional Saiyan Space, you can prepare some survival supplies. This does not count towards task completion proficiency, but the volume must not exceed two cubic meters. By accepting the task, there’s no punishment for failure. PS: The Six-Dimensional Saiyan Space is extremely dangerous! A mandatory transfer will take place in twelve hours.”
When Finn finished spending the coins, Zero’s voice rang out. After listening to it, Finn was stunned, then immediately jumped up, “What the hell! How does Zero have tasks?! Why did it let me accept the task without even asking me?”
“I have repeatedly confirmed whether you want to perform this plan. You assured me very decisively that you want to. This means you accepted the task.” Zero’s voice was as calm as ever.
“Damn it! You didn’t even tell me there was a task!” Finn was nearly infuriated. His train of thought was interrupted. This task award was pretty awesome —a Six-Dimensional Saiyan Crystal! This meant an entirely different space!
An entirely new world! Yet, Finn was out of ideas with the last note. If even Zero highlighted this space is extremely dangerous, he was really uncertain what’s there?
Fortunately, there was no punishment for failing this task. Otherwise, Finn would have had suicidal thoughts. From the instructions of the whole task, he could use T-series robot protection three times. Even if the task ends automatically after all the right are used, it doesn’t mean danger really because there was no punishment. Thus, Finn could end the task anytime he wanted.
“Can I exchange the supplies I prepared with you?” Since things had already been set in motion, Finn knew he had no other choice. Moreover, it was his own decision anyway, albeit carried out in a way he didn’t anticipate. No matter what, at least he was not in danger of losing his life now compared to before when the alien was threatening his life and that damn Silver Arrest Warrant didn’t even give him time to react.
Also, judging from the recent assassination attempt, Zero’s security wasn’t as complete as he thought. Maybe it was foolproof against assassinations on Earth, but not necessarily against extraterrestrial beings whose technology was far superior to Earth’s. Therefore, enhancing his own strength was the best choice. At least, that alien didn’t carry any thermal weapons, right?
“You can exchange them.” Zero responded promptly.
With Zero’s answer, Finn finally relaxed a bit. He could exchange his supplies, which started him thinking what he should exchange for. Sitting in place, Finn began to ponder. The main purpose of this task was to enhance his survival ability, or to improve his fighting skills. These imply that he had the opportunity to display his fighting abilities in this world.
Considering the limited space, Finn also decided to redeem some food. Who the hell knows what kind of place that world was? Was there any food Finn could eat?
After getting everything ready, Finn called Kay Lee first, telling her that he might not be back for a few days due to some matters. In the past, he had to come up with an excuse, but now it became a lot simpler as Kay Lee already knew his secret. She understood that he was getting busy with some stuff.
He also phoned his parents but did not elaborate much. He just asked about their recent condition, then quickly took a deep breath and asked Zero to teleport him into this new space.
No matter what, all these were Finn’s own choices. Since he had made a choice, Finn had to move on. Besides, Finn honestly did not want to face such a helpless situation as before. No matter what, at the very least, he needed some basic capability to fight back.
The way of returning to another familiar timeline reappeared. After the dizziness that followed, Finn opened his eyes and immediately looked around. What he saw was desolation. He was in a stranger city right now. His current location was beneath a building. Far away on the street, Finn saw dozens of “silhouettes”. Seeing these figures wasn’t the problem, but the familiar scene before his eyes automatically reminded him of a particular movie.
He swallowed back the expletive he was about to blurt. Finn immediately began to look all around, making sure he was safe. Then he quickly retreated to the corner behind a wall. Behind him was supposed to be a mall, but the doors and windows were all broken and overgrown with weeds. It was too dangerous for Finn to even think about going inside.
“Zero!” Finn lowered his voice, besieged with panic.
