Chapter 163: Everyone’s Financial Management
Amid the endless mechanical sounds, the humanoid substitute with a computer on his head was getting closer and closer.
There seems to be no limit to its speed.
At least, the four wheels of this car are no match for the two thighs of the stand-in.
"Pay back the money, pay back the money, pay back the money..."
The noise continued, making Li Qing upset:
"Shit! What the hell?"
He cursed in astonishment: "Where did it come from? When did I borrow money from it?"
"Old man, it must be that old man!"
Bucciarati reacted suddenly.
He couldn't help but think of Polpo's Black Sabbath, who could hunt down others remotely, and then think about what was happening now:
"No wonder the old man didn't make any movement from the beginning. It turns out his Stand is a rare remote automatic Stand."
"As long as a certain condition is triggered, this stand will automatically hunt down the target."
"And judging from the current situation..."
"The trigger condition is 'borrowing money'."
"Yes, we did take something that belonged to Fabio - he allowed us to borrow his car and guns just to make us trigger the conditions for his stand-in to hunt us down!"
The facts are just as Bucciarati explained.
“Pay back the money, pay back the money!”
Shouting slogans for debt collection, the "muscular man" with a computer on his head rushed forward aggressively.
The iron sheet at the rear of the car was deflated by its punch, causing the car to suddenly tremble violently while driving at high speed.
“Damn it!”
Li Qing managed to steady the steering wheel with great difficulty, and hurriedly shouted to his companions:
"Naranja, Mista, beat this weird guy to pieces!"
"yes!"
As the long-range output in the team, Narancia and Mista immediately summoned their own substitutes.
The Aerosmith hovered in the air, turned the nose of the plane in an instant, and poured a dense rain of micro bullets at the "computer man" that had already climbed onto the rear of the car.
But the strange humanoid substitute was not affected at all.
Not only did it not dodge the bullets, it even actively headed towards the rain of bullets.
The bullet hit it like a drop in the ocean, it only created a ripple on its skin, and then disappeared silently into its body.
“Rubbish, rubbish…”
“No recovery value, repayment failed.”
The next second, these bullets were actually spit out from the body of this "computer man".
"What?"
Seeing that Aerosmith returned empty-handed, Mista couldn't help but feel shocked.
However, as a test, he pulled the trigger and fired the bullet.
The "computer man" remained unharmed.
But unlike Aerosmith's bullets, which were condensed by his mental power, Mista used real bullets, and the reaction he provoked was slightly different from before:
"Brass bullets, recyclable."
“Value 0.1 yuan, repayment successful.”
The bullet was swallowed, and a very human subtitle appeared on the computer screen:
"Repaid, 0.1 yuan."
(The currency in circulation in Italy in 1999 was the lira. For ease of understanding, it will be written as RMB in the following text)
The subtitles flashed by.
And the hunt for "Computer Man" continues.
It clung tightly to the trunk of the car and frantically tore at the iron sheet at the rear of the vehicle.
“Ahhh!”
Mista shouted madly:
"Bullets are useless against it! What should I do?"
"That guy doesn't seem to get hurt at all!"
“Hello…”
He suddenly thought of something: "Li Qing, didn't you say that this guy was asking us for a debt?"
"If it wants it, then let's give it the car and the gun back!"
"this…"
Li Qing hesitated slightly.
Then he turned the steering wheel all the way, stepped on the clutch, shifted gears, stepped on the accelerator deeply, lifted the clutch and turned the steering wheel all the way again, making the high-speed car do a 180-degree turn and drift on the winding mountain road.
"Go back and kill that old man—"
"Why should I return something I borrowed with my own ability?"
The engine roared madly.
The tires sparked on the ground.
The car began to drive towards the villa in the forest which was not too far away at a speed far exceeding the speed when it came.
The "computer man" tore open the iron sheet of the car with his hands, smashed the glass of the rear window, and pounced on the people in the car like a hungry wolf breaking into a sheepfold.
"Golden experience! Steel chain fingers!"
Two melee-type stands appeared in front and swung their fists at the aggressive "computer man".
However, it still didn't work.
It was as if it didn't exist in this world at all. The fists of Golden Experience and Steel Chain Fingers hitting it were like hitting a ball of air, passing through it without any effect.
This is a ghost, a ghost that even a substitute cannot touch.
However, it happens to touch real objects.
“Rubbish, rubbish…”
“No recovery value, repayment failed.”
The broken glass was swallowed into its body and then dumped out.
Then, the "computer man" began to move further into the car, just a little bit away from touching the bodies of Giorno and others.
"arrive!"
Li Qing stopped the car in time.
In just a dozen seconds, he completed the distance that took him half a minute to walk and drove back to the villa in the forest.
Everyone got out of the car in a panic.
The culprit behind all this, the old man named Fabio, was now standing at the door of the villa, looking at them from afar with a joking look on his face:
"Oh, you're back?"
"Asshole!"
Without saying a word, Li Qing raised his hand and sent a sound wave at the old man.
However... before the white ball of light flew far, it was blocked by a "computer man" that suddenly appeared in front of it.
"There's another one?!"
Li Qing's pupils couldn't help but shrink.
He looked at the "computer man" who climbed out of the car behind him , and the "computer man" who suddenly appeared in front of him, and his expression was somewhat surprised.
"Are you talking about these 'thugs'?"
"As many as you want, as many as you want. If you don't pay me back, sooner or later there will be so many of them that you'll despair."
Fabio shrugged and said with a smile on his face.
"hateful!"
Li Qing pulled out his pistol in disbelief and fired three shots at Fabio.
But before the bullet could fly far, it was blocked by a "computer man" that appeared in an instant:
"Brass bullets, recyclable."
"Value 0.3 yuan, repayment successful."
The bullet was swallowed alive without any sound.
The three "computer men" shouted "Pay back the money, pay back the money" while surrounding Li Qing from three directions with a fierce look in their eyes.
“Don’t try to attack the creditors.”
Fabio said slowly.
As he spoke, he even moved a chair out from behind the door and sat down at the door of the villa calmly.
As if he was enjoying a good show, Fabio's tone was very pleasant:
"You will never be able to attack me until the money is paid back."
"Besides, even if a person dies suddenly for some reason, my substitute will continue to hunt you down to the ends of the earth - until you are killed or pay off the debt."
"this…"
Li Qing's face looked very ugly.
He didn't know whether what Fabio said was true or not, but after seeing the terrible sight of the "computer man" multiplying out of thin air, he really didn't dare to mess with the other party anymore.
"hehe."
Fabio smiled calmly:
“Actually, I’m an insurance policy.”
"If Samson succeeds, I will be responsible for driving and picking him up."
"If he fails, I'll set a trap for you here - you'll definitely need the car after you meet that bomb maniac."
"Sure enough, you guys got caught."
"You street thugs who are used to petty thefts finally forcibly 'borrowed' things from me."
"I'll return it!" Li Qing admitted helplessly.
He lowered the muzzle of the gun in his hand and said tentatively: "I will return the car and the gun to you. Can this pay off the debt?"
"Pay it off?"
Fabio curled his lips and smiled disdainfully:
"I've told you before, Fabio's things are not so easy to take."
"You got help from me, so of course I have to charge corresponding interest—"
"For example, the combined value of the car and the gun is about 100,000, and my stand-in's fixed interest rate is 10%, so you have to pay back..."
"Something worth 110,000?" Li Qing answered quickly.
"No."
Fabio smiled:
"When I say 10%, I mean 10% per second - note that this is a loan where the interest is compounded."
"And 50 seconds have passed since you borrowed the money."
"50 seconds... 10% interest per second... And the interest is compounded..."
Li Qing subconsciously felt that something was wrong: "How much is that?"
This math problem was a bit difficult. Not only was Narancia confused, but even Fuge couldn't figure it out for a while.
"1.1 to the 50th power is about 117 times."
Fabio spread his hands and gave this answer generously:
"As long as you can come up with something worth 11.7 million, you won't have to die."
