Chapter 142: New Task Incoming!

He browsed through the System Panel roughly.

Chu Chen was surprised to discover that, without realizing it, his Shock Value had actually broken through 200 million?

Compared to before, it had more than doubled!

Previously, because he was busy completing tasks, he had no time at all to pay attention to the changes in his Shock Value within the system.

Looking at it now, the commotion caused by his crime this time was indeed a bit large.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to obtain so much Shock Value!

When this task first began, the 100 million Shock Value originally in the system had long since been mostly spent by Chu Chen.

He had originally thought that he would have to complete at least two more tasks for this 100 million Shock Value to grow back, but the result was completely unexpected: after just one task, it had all returned, and it had even doubled!

200 million Shock Value!

It simply couldn't be more satisfying!

Looking at this huge sum on the System Panel, Chu Chen didn't even think about it; he directly spent a wave of it fiercely, buying 20 years of Life all at once!

At present, he had already bought 40 years of Life in the System Mall.

As long as no accidents occurred, this Life was enough for Chu Chen to live carefree until he was 120 years old.

Enough money plus enough Life...

Ordinary people wouldn't even dare to imagine such a thing, and even top billionaires would likely be unable to catch up.

But Chu Chen could possess all of this with ease!

And there was no upper limit!

As long as he wanted to, he could infinitely extend his own Life.

Of course, the premise for all of this was that no accidents occurred, because the system clearly stated that the Life sold in the mall was natural Life and could not prevent the occurrence of accidental situations, such as personal accidents and certain fatal diseases.

However, since he had the system, these problems were not problems.

There were many extremely awesome potions in the System Mall!

Gene Modification Potion, Disease Immunity Potion, Physical Recovery Potion, Immunity to All Poisons Potion, and so on and so forth—they were too numerous to count!

These functional potions could not only cure various difficult and miscellaneous illnesses but also improve genes, making the body immune to all diseases; they were super powerful.

At the same time, there was also the "Safety Talisman" to avoid various accidents; as long as one wore it, one could avoid any accident!

But the prices of these things were all very expensive.

With Chu Chen's current financial strength, he couldn't afford them at all.

Among them, even the cheapest Gene Modification Potion required 1 billion Shock Value to be bought.

As for the "Safety Talisman" and Disease Immunity, which could change one's fate, there was no need to even mention them; none were under 5 billion!

What Chu Chen could afford at this stage were only those consumable potions, such as Physical Recovery, Golden Spear, and the like.

These potions were all very cheap; one could buy them for 1 million.

Since Brand New was still cooling down, in order to recover his physical strength as quickly as possible, Chu Chen immediately spent 1 million Shock Value to buy a bottle of Physical Recovery Potion and drank it.

However, the efficacy of this potion compared to Brand New was not just a little bit worse.

It could not restore the entire body to its original state like Brand New; it simply recovered physical strength.

It was a bit lackluster.

One could only say it was better than nothing.

As for that Unstoppable, because it wasn't a rigid demand, Chu Chen didn't waste money on it; he only glanced at it twice before moving his gaze away to continue researching other products.

His goal right now was not to mess with these trivial things.

Improving himself as much as possible was the true path!

Right now, as time passed, the entire competition had officially entered the white-hot stage!

In order to stop him, the Expert Group and the Pursuit Team would definitely spare no effort to use every trick in the book!

If he wanted to win this competition, Chu Chen had to make himself stronger!

Because the further he went, the lower his margin for error would be.

With this plan in mind, he directly took out 100 million Shock Value to purchase two life-saving skills that could significantly improve his criminal capabilities.

【God-level Lock Picking】 and 【God-level Parkour】!

These two skills were both excellent life-saving skills!

At critical moments, they could definitely achieve victory through surprise!

Especially Parkour!

It was definitely a well-deserved god-level escape skill!

Once he learned it, as long as there were enough obstacles, no one would be able to catch him!

There was no need to even mention Lock Picking.

This was the foundation of all god-level escapes.

Sooner or later, there would be a time when it would be useful!

"Hoo!"

After securing these two great god-level skills, Chu Chen let out a long breath and stuffed a large piece of Swiss roll into his mouth!

Although he had just taken the Physical Recovery Potion, this thing didn't provide any feeling of fullness at all!

His stomach was still completely empty.

For the past few days, he hadn't had the chance to eat a proper meal at all.

Right now, since he had finally managed to find the time to enjoy such a big meal, he would really be doing himself a disservice if he didn't eat to his heart's content!

Thinking this, Chu Chen put away the system and frantically shoveled various foods into his mouth.

Ever since the various attributes of his body completed their digitized improvement, his appetite had become exceptionally large; for a simple, casual meal, he ate the amount an ordinary adult would eat in three days, leaving the waiters in the restaurant stunned and pointing at him incessantly!

After a whirlwind of eating, Chu Chen drank three more cups of strong tea before calling the waiter to pay the bill.

"Sir, hello, the total is 3,248 Swiss francs."

Hearing this, Chu Chen pulled a stack of cash from his pocket and placed it directly on the table: "Keep the change, the rest is your tip."

Having said that, he stood up and left the restaurant, leaving only the waiter behind, staring at his back as if looking at a monster.

Having worked at this restaurant for so many years, the waiter had never encountered a customer so generous.

This stack of money was at least ten thousand Swiss francs; after deducting the cost of the meal, the remainder was basically equivalent to two months of the waiter's salary...

You call this a tip?

Coming back to their senses, the waitress immediately grabbed the money and chased after him: "Sir, this is too much, sir..."

But at this very moment, Chu Chen had already disappeared into the bustling crowd on the street, completely out of sight!

Chu Chen's original plan was to return to his country and recuperate for the next mission.

However, the moment this thought emerged in his mind, the long-absent system notification sound rang out!

Hearing the notification, Chu Chen felt a jolt, hurriedly summoned the system, and clicked on the task bar to take a look.

At the same time, a brand-new Main Quest appeared right before his eyes:
