Chapter 378: 372: The Task Completed Ahead of Schedule

Especially when the person speaking also possesses matching strength, people will find it absolutely amazing…some might even say, thrillingly delightful! For a football coach, the happiest thing is, undoubtedly, having enough transfer budgets. But even for big club coaches like Simoní Howard, it’s unthinkable to publicly declare such.

How much transfer budget required is a question tough to answer, even Simoní had no immediate idea. But Finn Lewis was more than ready to answer the question – what is the easiest way to get famous? Simply, by splashing cash lavishly!

Thus, Barza – one of the famous clubs of the Primera División – received a stunningly bold offer! While it’s not a winter break season or transfer period, club-to-club offers aren’t restricted by these. As long as the contracts are negotiated and agreed upon, the transfers can wait until transfer period begins!

However, this offer sent shivers down the spine of Barza, as the offer was from Atletico Madrid with their eyes keen on the one and only backbone of Barza…Maxwell Messi! Being one of the most renowned football players in the world today, even non-football followers have heard the name Messi, who has been with Barza since he started playing football.

Imagine the shockwave sent across when someone is trying to buy the captain of Barza. But that’s not what’s most troubling, the most absurd part is the long string of zeros on their offer! An initial figure of ‘2’ followed by eight whopping zeros!

And what tops it all, is that the news was leaked! It was Atletico Madrid themselves, who let it out!

No doubt, it was a crazy day for the sports media, as astonishing news items kept popping up one after another. The jaw-dropping revelations that Atletico had been acquired even sidelined all other major championship league victories and racy games!

If that’s not earth-shattering enough, what follows will definitely be!

“World’s wealthiest man acquires Atletico! New magnate about to step into the world of football!” – Graham Kingdom Sports Paper.

“All major clubs, brace yourselves. Although there are plenty of football tycoons, is there anyone richer than Finn Lewis who bought Atletico Madrid?” – United League Post.

Initially, when the media got wind of the news, they couldn’t quite believe it, but they confirmed the news from the official Madrid side. After confirming it, these media outlets went bonkers! The following array of news making waves reeked of extreme wealth which posed a huge threat to all football clubs in the Southern Federation and the enormous finances involved were terrifying!

Firstly, Finn Lewis, the buyer of Atletico, not only paid up the entire transfer fee of 70 million South Federation currency for Elias but also snatched this midfielder directly from the hands of Real Madrid! Following this, Finn managed to comfortably repay the glaring debt of 500 million South Federation currency that Atletico had previously fallen under. Basically, Atletico Madrid now doesn’t owe a dime.

Jose, the manager of Atletico Madrid, quoted Finn’s exact words from their interview: “I hate owing money to people, so it’s better to pay it upfront.”

Immediately after, Atletico Madrid made a crazy proposal to Barza – a whopping 200 million South Federation currency for Messi! Remember, just before the World Cup this year, Messi was valued at mere 120 million South Federation currency! Now, Finn impulsively increased it by a staggering 80 million! That’s double the value! How many star players could be purchased with this amount? Many clubs don’t even get such a high transfer fee in a year!

Upon receiving the proposal, even Barza wasn’t sure whether to reject it straight away, despite the continued insistence that Messi is not for sale!

Finn too was startled, because right after he wired money to the club and instructed Jose to throw their offer towards Barza, he got a prompt from the system that he had completed a task in advance!

“Task completed: The seventh part of the Noble Temperament Development series has been accomplished. As a noble, having an elegant toy is a must. Task completion rate is 120%. Task rewards are 1 million points and an increase in available funds up to 1 billion per month and unlocking access to tech worth less than 100,000 points and ordinary item unlock access once.”

Considering the pattern of this mission, there should have been a mission notification earlier when he had bought the plane, but it hadn’t occurred. Now when it flashed, Finn was slightly perplexed… An elegant toy? Is a football club a toy? But indeed, for Renzo, it was a business, but for Finn, it was just a toy.

The reward of a massive 1 million points was certainly a relief for Finn, along with the valuable option to unlock any technology under 100,000 points of his choice. As for his monthly available funds, Finn was aware that he had already amassed 2 billion Flame Nation coins, though it was nothing more than pocket money in the current scenario.

How much it would grow, he decided to worry about it later. But before Finn could breathe easy, another task alert rang from the cold voice of the system:

“Task: The ultimate mission for the Noble Temperament Development series is activated instantly. As a noble, owning a private island is a must. The requirement is to buy a private island with no less than 10 square kilometers. If it falls within the Flame Nation archipelago, a minimum of 5 square kilometers is acceptable. After purchase, you will be granted a team for landfill related projects. If you choose a foreign island, your mission completion should be no less than 70%. If it falls below 70%, it will be considered a task failure. The task deadline is one year. If it exceeds by one month, the task completion rate will drop by 10%. The reward for mission success is unknown, and the penalty for failure is unknown. Be warned, failure penalties will be severe.”

“Damn it!” Finn couldn’t resist cursing. Luckily, he had already returned to his hotel room alone, “System, what’s the rationale for this mission?”

“The final mission of a series will be automatically triggered and accepted. If the final mission of the series fails, the consequences will include penalties from all previous failed missions, heaped on one after the other.” The system’s voice was exceptionally brutal, that it almost gave Finn an ice-cold chill. Apparently, all the penalties from previous missions were going to stack up on top of each other, and that too, just the basics?
