America: I'm really not crazy

Chapter 9 Li Wei was ridiculed.

Wesker instinctively felt that what Levi said wasn't anything nice.

Because the eyes beneath the gas mask were full of mockery.

But unlike Li Wei, who enjoys the process, he focuses more on the result—money!

So, after going up to the second-floor office area, he ignored Li Wei's "provocation" and went straight to the factory's "boss's office".

This industry is different from ordinary factories; the boss won't trust anyone else with his money. So, usually, the money is kept in a safe in the "boss's office."

But as Li Wei said, they had already been discovered, and now he was only hoping that the guy called "Viper Dark" hadn't had time to transfer the money.

The two covered each other as they arrived outside the boss's office. Li Wei pulled out a fragmentation grenade and prepared to "go on a killing spree".

Wesker immediately gestured to stop him.

It's not a tactical gesture; it's just the middle finger.

Then, Wesker pulled out a stun grenade.

Out of politeness and respect for his fellow "second-in-command," Li Wei shrugged, hung the fragmentation grenade back up, put down Wesker's "daughter," and instead drew his M18 pistol and Ka-Bar 1218 combat knife from his thigh holster, waiting for Wesker to break down the door.

The former is standard equipment, while the latter is Li Wei's personal habit.

But Wesker first pulled out a handheld speculum and reached it through the crack in the door.

He frowned after glancing at the door twice – there was no one inside.

"Oh shit!"

Wesker got angry, cursed in a rather "amateurish" manner, and slammed a piece of thermite onto the door lock.

The instant the flames ignited, the intense heat of at least 2500°C burned through the lock, and Wesker kicked open the office door and rushed inside.

There were no screams, no resistance, and no one.

Just like the image transmitted through a peephole.

But Wesker was not satisfied. He put down his gun and began to search the place as roughly as a wild boar.

He soon found the safe, which was embedded in the load-bearing wall and concealed by a printed oil painting.

Wesker gripped the safe's handle and forcefully pulled it out of the wall.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, Wesker slammed the safe onto the desk, pulled out C4, and stuck it to the four corners of the back of the safe.

In a built-in safe, the steel plate at the back is usually the thinnest.

Besides saving costs, merchants usually don't expect that someone would choose to kill everyone present in order to open a safe, so as to ensure that the "opening" process is undisturbed.

"Bang!"

Another muffled thud, and the steel plate on the back of the safe slid off during the explosion, revealing the contents inside.

money!

But there were only a few bundles.

Moreover, the displayed denominations didn't even include 100-yuan bills.

Two bundles of 20g each, and one bundle of 50g each.

Wesker didn't even need to count to know that there was only $7000 in total.

"An old Chevrolet Suburban, about 300 rounds of ammunition, a smoke grenade, and some additional equipment purchased. I won't even mention the manpower... You probably won't even recoup your costs, right?"

Levi, who had been leaning against the doorframe watching the commotion, took off his gas mask and did some calculations for Wesker.

"Fuck your mother! Shut up!"

Wesker was enraged.

[Task Grade: D (Fail)]

[Task Evaluation: Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!]

[Reward distribution: 1 hour * 0]

The system, which had been silent for a long time, also jumped out and mocked them mercilessly.

Li Wei frowned.

The system was making noise in his eyes.

Before Li Wei could react, the system popped up a new task.

[Mission: Head northwest for 15 kilometers. A van loaded with $40 is waiting for the "Lee Wei Gang" to "take over." License plate number YBL T43. Go! You idiot! Hahaha!]

[Reward: 1 hour of base health, with bonuses based on mission completion rating.]

At this moment, Li Wei felt that perhaps the "villain system" was just a program, and behind it was a "programmer" who was clutching his stomach and laughing hysterically on the computer desk.

That guy is such an obnoxious jerk that he has no friends.

"Hey! Li Wei! You 'played' with my 'daughter'! Pay up!"

With three bundles of banknotes in his pants pocket, Wesker approached Levi and directly asked him for money.

Li Wei thought for a moment, then took a coin out of his pocket and placed it in Wesker's hand.

Thomas Jefferson's golden smile made Wesker curse.

"I fucking pay you $64000 a year, and after you 'slept with' my 'daughter,' you only give me 5 cents?"

Li Wei shrugged nonchalantly.

"I've given you everything I have."

"Fuck your mother! Where's your money?!"

"It was used to treat a brain tumor. I still have $12 in medical loans to pay off. Hmm... 21% interest."

Wesker was so angry that he raised his hand to throw away the 5 cents, but after his ferocious expression froze for a moment, he still put the 5 cents into his pocket and then poked Levi's chest repeatedly.

"You bastard! You not only owe the bank $12, but you also owe me $5000! Otherwise, you can forget about ever touching my 'daughter' again!"

As he spoke, he pulled the gun strap off Li Wei's shoulder and disarmed him.

"Wesker, seriously, you're just like Jack Bourne from Meet the Parents right now. Do you know how happy your 'Pamira Bourne' was in my hands tonight? She took down at least fourteen gangsters."

"Go to hell! This is my 'daughter'! And she can never be your 'wife'!"

"The dialogue is fantastic. The screenwriter and director should ask you for help to make a spin-off."

"Fuck you! Say another word and I'll smash your balls with my 'daughter'!"

Seeing Wesker actually raise his gun, Levi shrugged.

He felt that if he gave Wesker, a fellow human on the verge of collapse, another push, he might actually make him break down... but that would be extremely impolite.

"Okay, so it turns out your plan won't work. How about you listen to mine?"

Levi decided to give Wesker a hand.

"What brilliant ideas could you possibly have, you damn lunatic? Robbing Fort Knox?"

"Hey!"

Levi, feeling his sore spot had been touched, gave Wesker the middle finger with considerable displeasure.

Then, without giving Wesker any time to react, he uttered two short sentences.

"$40! At least!"

Wesker's angry expression instantly turned into one of blankness.

Just before the saliva dripped onto his chest, Levi gripped the gun barrel, snatched Wesker's "daughter" back, and hung it back on himself.

"If you want money, come on over. What we need now is a car that can run."

"Hey!"

Wesker finally realized what was happening and shouted in dissatisfaction.

"You're not interested in at least $40 in cash?"

Li Wei effectively shut down Wesker's threat to "be careful what you say to my 'daughter'" with a single sentence.

"Okay, Viper Dark has a Hummer H1. He ran away in such a hurry that he definitely didn't have time to take his high-profile 'wife' with him. She should still be in the garage. We can 'borrow' her for now."
