The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 1290: Chapter 496: Thorough Understanding

[Caroline’s original silk stockings], [Caroline’s Dream Knit Underwear], [Wang Ruixi’s cigarette box], [Basic Resume], [Jiang Mo’s Soul Greeting Card], [Su Yajing’s Wish List], [Evelyn’s Desire Manual], [Yasuo’s Guide to Happiness], [Ali’s Conch (Replica)]...

While chatting with Xiao Yun to ease the feeling of despair, Zhou Wang was constantly searching for a way to save himself.

Unfortunately, even after searching through the system warehouse, he couldn’t find anything useful.

Among all the items available for exchange in the System Store, none could instantly save a life... In short, the System Store transcends reality, but is not absolutely superior to it.

It wasn’t until Nie Xiaoyun asked Zhou Wang if the scene before them seemed familiar that a sudden spark of realization flashed in Zhou Wang’s mind.

It turned out the system had been giving him hints all along, just as before, the system wouldn’t directly tell him what to do, only give him a subtle hint.

After cursing himself as an ”idiot,” Zhou Wang finally remembered to activate the ”Visualization Switch” on this map of the [Space-Time Magic Book] at the last moment.

Sure enough, the moment he activated it, Zhou Wang saw the surroundings change dramatically.

Xiao Yun’s body erupted with a strong multicolored light, creating the symbol of a ”key” above her head, while the raging fire below them turned into a massive ”door” with a vortex inside, resembling a starry sky.

The same scene, the same people... This was the correct way to trigger the ”Space-Time Eggs.”

Before the floor beneath them completely collapsed, Zhou Wang took Nie Xiaoyun and jumped down into the mesmerizing vortex.

...

Ding!

[A random space-time node has been generated; the ”Space-Time Egg” has been consumed and cannot be generated again]

...

After the system’s prompt, Zhou Wang’s vision fell into darkness. He didn’t feel the dizziness he had imagined; he simply felt as if his head had been struck heavily, his consciousness scattered, leaving him feeling weightless, unsure of where he was.

”Boss, boss...”

In a daze, a gentle voice reached his ears. It started distant, then gradually became clearer, as if echoing right beside him.

”Hmm?”

His mouth parched and tongue dry, Zhou Wang opened his eyes. His head throbbed with a hangover-like pain. He looked around blankly and found himself sitting in the backseat of a custom Rolls-Royce Phantom, with Miao Ying’s concerned face peering over from the front passenger seat.

”Boss, are you okay? We’ve already arrived...”

”I’m fine, hold on.”

Zhou Wang waved his hand and grabbed a bottle of chilled mineral water from the side, guzzling down half the bottle in one go, alleviating the hangover-like sensation and thirst to some extent.

As Zhou Wang’s mind cleared, he glanced at the fans gathered along the road outside the car window and the celebrities waiting at the entrance of the International Gold Center, finally realizing the scene he found himself in.

The wristwatch showed the time was 6:50, precisely the time his Rolls-Royce Phantom had arrived at the International Gold Center.

So, time... really reset?

Looking back, Zhou Wang recalled every moment he’d experienced as vividly as ever, yet it all felt like a dream, a mirage. He was momentarily unable to discern whether it had truly happened or was just an illusion, giving him a glimpse of the future.

But it seemed to no longer matter; the important thing was that since he had foreseen the crisis tonight, if things were to repeat themselves, he might as well find a wall to crash into.

However, before that, Zhou Wang still had something to clarify.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Wang dialed Wang Ruixi’s number.

...

A few minutes delay in the car, until the wild fans on both sides began whispering, wondering who the person in the car was, that they would make such a big deal. It was then Zhou Wang finally stepped out of the car.

Facing him, Xia Xiwei approached with a brilliant smile. Zhou Wang hadn’t noticed before, but now he saw the trace of mischievousness within her smile.

As expected, this was the cunning girl’s plan all along. That ”hot search” was her open scheme all along.

As the fragrance swayed, Xixi walked over first and took Zhou Wang’s arm, her saccharine voice drifting into Zhou Wang’s ear immediately.

”I’ve finally waited for you, Uncle Zhou~”

Zhou Wang’s lips curled into a smile. As Xia Xiwei wondered why he wasn’t surprised, Zhou Wang waved at Miss Gu, whose eyes were sending an anxious glance his way from behind Xixi.

Miss Gu understood Zhou Wang’s gesture, hesitantly pointing at herself. After receiving Zhou Wang’s confirming nod, she walked over somewhat bewildered.

”Ah!”

Miss Gu gasped, caught off guard as Zhou Wang immediately wrapped an arm around her slender waist. However, Miss Gu quickly adjusted, her surprise quickly giving way to genuine delight, a smile emerging from the depths of her heart.

She’d always thought Zhou Wang had no interest in her, never expecting one day he’d openly show her affection in a public setting...

The sudden joy left Miss Gu somewhat lightheaded, and she didn’t even consider the presence of Xia Xiwei on Zhou Wang’s other side.

In an instant, the scene shifted: Zhou Wang holding Xia Xiwei with his left arm, and Miss Gu with his right, spinning slightly with them both, allowing fans to capture the three of them from multiple angles...
