After they returned to the hotel, they showered and fell asleep in each other's arms.
This night, Shi Lei didn't do it with Wei Xingyue and Wei Xingyue wasn't in the mood either. If Shi Lei had the need, she would naturally follow him along. But if Shi Lei didn't take the initiative, Wei Xingyue couldn't think about the joy of having sex when she had plenty of things to worry about like her family.
Laying in Shi Lei's arms, Wei Xingyue quickly fell asleep. For the past month or so, it was the first time she slept soundly. Although the final result wasn't necessarily the most ideal, she felt like she could rely on others. It was a feeling that Wei Xingyue hadn't felt for a long time.
However, Shi Lei couldn't fall asleep. After Wei Xingyue's breathing stabilized and she fell into a deep sleep, Shi Lei quietly took out his arms that were beneath her neck.
Shi Lei got up quietly, changed, and went to the bar downstairs.
He found a window seat, ordered a beer, and sipped on it alone next to the window.
Shi Lei looked outside; bright lights filled the streets. Didu's night was incomparable to Runzhou. It was even busier and noisier than Wudong. There was a ring every second; it was a city that never went to sleep. The scene was different during the day, but it was different at night too.
He finished drinking the glass of beer quickly and ordered another.
It looked like Shi Lei was only drinking on his own and enjoying the night view, but in fact, his head was filled with all kinds of thoughts.
He had sex with Wei Xingyue rather abruptly yesterday. It seemed like it was from impulsiveness, but Shi Lei planned it inside his head.
The pill could cure all diseases and it was a reward from the Black Card. If Shi Lei gifted it to others without asking for anything, Shi Lei didn't think there would be any problem even if he didn't know the person at all.
However, he used the pill for a deal with the elder and that may count as a consumption.
Shi Lei considered whether he should ask the Scepter or not, but he realized that the Scepter wouldn't answer this kind of question. The Scepter would even say that explaining how to consume and how to use the reward was not within its duty to explain. Otherwise, if Shi Lei asked the Scepter before he spent any money, it might as well have spent Shi Lei's money for him.
Against the type of questions that could not be answered, Shi Lei didn't dare to be too rebellious. He had to reach a higher level of intimacy with Wei Xingyue.
According to the detailed rules of intimacy, Shi Lei could easily conclude that there were only two possible levels between him and Wei Xingyue. It was either seventy-one to eighty, or eighty-one to ninety as he wasn't sure whether the skinship between them was considered intimate or constant intimate body touches. Regardless, it wouldn't exceed ninety points.
If using the pill in exchange for Wei Xingyue and Wei Puti's lives wasn't a deal, then everyone would have been fine. But if it was, it may have been related to consumptions. Shi Lei knew that with the Black Card and the Scepter's usual doings, exchanging things would be counted as a consumption. Hence, he thought it was necessary for him to raise the level of intimacy to a hundred points.
But where could he get these one hundred points? Of course, it was through promises and following them.
Hence, when Shi Lei was with Wei Xingyue at the hospital for three days, he continuously repeated the concept of sleep. Wei Xingyue also responded back numerous times. Shi Lei even asked the Scepter whether it counted as a verbal contract the night before he left the hospital.
The Scepter's response was "yes". However, this contract wasn't abided by time. As long as Shi Lei and Wei Xingyue interacted closely, it counted as being completed. However, it wouldn't earn him any rewards as it wasn't associated with consumption.
But that was more than enough. As long as it fitted the criteria of a contract and completed it, Shi Lei and Wei Xingyue's level of intimacy would reach one hundred points. He even wasted a chance to check the level of intimacy. The Intimacy Card clearly told Shi Lei that he had reached one hundred points with Wei Xingyue.
After that, Shi Lei could request the deal with the elder without having to worry about it.
Otherwise, even if Shi Lei didn't break through to the last stage with Wei Xingyue, he wouldn't be so impulsed to have sex with Wei Xingyue as soon as she left the hospital.
With one hundred points, Wei Xingyue was his immediate family member. Her level was even higher than an immediate family member as she could help him spend money. Hence, if the pill was Shi Lei's, it also belonged to Wei Xingyue. Of course, Wei Xingyue could use it for the deal in exchange for her life and her sister's lives.
After interacting with the Black Card for quite a while, Shi Lei became extra cautious. Although it may not be treated as a consumption, Shi Lei had to be extra careful. If he accidentally lost his life because of this, he would definitely feel wronged.
Shi Lei initially planned to use the Lotus Tongue Card on the elder, but he found another target to use it on because of what the elder had told him.
However, he would need to pull the person into this. Shi Lei was a stranger to him and that person's life was rather ill-fated too. Shi Lei didn't know whether he would betray his heart if he decided to do it.
But what Shi Lei could confirm was that the person loathed the Yu family. Perhaps it was a chance to free him if Shi Lei pulled him into this or it may even be a chance to take revenge.
As soon as this person participated, he would have a place to use the Lotus Tongue Card. Shi Lei even thought that this S+ level card that could be used once, which the Black Card gave was meant for this.
Shi Lei wasn't so clear about it before, but after he used the pill, the way to use Lotus Tongue Card gradually appeared, which made Shi Lei question.
The Black Card knew what Shi Lei needed the most. Hence, it used the five star plus level consumption and exchanged it for these two most useful rewards.
Even if there was a trap inside.
If he assumed that the trap existed and Shi Lei used the pill in the wrong way, he would be penalized. Of course, he could try to bargain as he didn't use real money in the deal. He used the pill to complete the deal. It was very ambiguous in the first place. Shi Lei doubted that if he didn't have sex with Wei Xingyue and gave the pill to the elder, the outcome may be him being able to cancel the penalty in exchange.
But if Shi Lei used the pill in the right way, it meant that Shi Lei fitted into the Black Card's criteria even more and he may level up even quicker.
Shi Lei never believed that the Black Card giving him infinite money to spend was the goal. However, what Shi Lei knew right now wasn't enough figure out the Black Card's goal. He could either die or level up and grow up as quickly as possible to eventually fit the Black Card 's criteria. Then, the Black Card's goal would be revealed.
The Black Card planned it; if Shi Lei used the pill correctly, he would understand how to use the Lotus Tongue Card correctly.
However, Shi Lei was struggling with whether he should use the Lotus Tongue Card in the "correct" way.
Finally, Shi Lei decided to interact with Mr. Key first.
Shi Lei didn't know the person, but he knew his son. Shi Lei needed to confirm it again.
He dialed a number and it was Yao Er.
