Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 31 Temporary Props
What the hell... a hidden round?
Zhou Wang was stunned when he saw a series of prompts from the system.

Zhou Wang was not too surprised to find "easter eggs" while reading books.

After all, there was actually a similar hidden mechanism in the first round, which was the triggering of the "lucky number", but the system gave a clear prompt at that time, but this time there was no sign at all.

But it seems that this "Easter Egg Book" is the key to triggering the hidden mechanism of the second action round.

However, Zhou Wang was not sure how many such “Easter egg books” there were.

After taking a closer look at the description of the hidden rounds, Zhou Wang was a little confused.

"Angels and Demons? Prologue?"

From just a cursory introduction, nothing can be revealed, but the title is very imaginative.

The system also clearly told him that the key person in this round was "Jiang Mo".

"To peek into the truth... Only the sun and the human heart cannot be looked at directly... So it has something to do with human nature? That is indeed closely related to the book "Psychology and Life"..."

[The hidden round will be opened in "1 hour and 34 minutes"]

At this time, Zhou Wang saw the last line of prompts in the system, which also had a countdown.

"It will open in more than an hour... Then let's go eat first."

It was almost 5 o'clock at this time. Zhou Wang, whose head was dizzy again, had no intention of continuing reading. He packed up and left the library.

The provincial library has a really good geographical location. Next to it is Green Lake, one of the famous attractions in Ming City, and there are many famous restaurants around it.

Zhou Wang directly opened the review app, selected a high-end restaurant with an average price of more than 300 yuan per person, and then picked one at random without any hesitation.

What if you want to eat at several restaurants? It doesn’t matter. Just change one tomorrow and keep eating. Ten days or so are enough to try all the restaurants you want.

This is the advantage of being rich. After all, many diseases are exclusive to poor people, such as "choice difficulty syndrome"... (Disclaimer: Zhou Wang does not mean to insult anyone)
Coming to the restaurant called "Cui Fu", Zhou Wang ordered a few signature dishes based on the waiter's recommendation.

A plate of fried marbled beef with porcini mushrooms cost 698 yuan, a plate of baked small green dragon with black truffle cost 598 yuan, a plate of fragrant dried mushroom fried rice cost 66 yuan, and a cup of passion fruit juice cost 55 yuan. Zhou Wang spent nearly yuan to finish this dinner with strong regional characteristics.

To be honest, from the perspective of taste enjoyment alone, it is no worse than the experience given to him by star-rated hotels, and in some places it is even better.

After all, star-rated hotels entertain guests from all over the world. In order to cater to the tastes of the general public, it is sometimes inevitable to make some sacrifices in the "characteristics".

He finished his meal slowly and lit a Da Chongjiu cigarette. After smoking, Zhou Wang, feeling satisfied, heard the system prompt again.

[The hidden round is about to start. If you choose to complete this round, please arrive at the following location before the countdown ends]

【Location.gps】

Zhou Wang took a look at the location sent by the system. It was located in a residential area near the World Expo Park in Mingcheng, which was neither far nor close from here.

At this time, there were only more than 30 minutes left until the round started. Considering that it would be a bit tight to go from the city center, and considering the rush hour after get off work, Zhou Wang did not delay any longer. He checked out and went out. Lao Yang, who had arrived early, was already waiting for him nearby.

After getting in the car, Zhou Wang searched for relevant information about the community on his mobile phone in order to get possible rewards from the system.

Information shows that this is a community built 20 years ago. In Mingcheng at that time, this community was considered a standard "rich area" because it was backed by the World Expo Park.

However, with the rise of various business districts in recent years, this community has gradually declined, and apart from its relatively central location, there is nothing to brag about.

Because Zhou Wang said he was in a hurry, Lao Yang also made full use of his driving skills and sent Zhou Wang to the gate of the community before the countdown ended. "Brother Yang, you go back first. I have some things to deal with here. I am not sure about the time yet."

"Okay, Mr. Zhou, just call me when you need me to pick you up."

Lao Yang nodded and drove away.

[The host has been detected to have arrived at the designated location, and the round officially begins]

[Host obtains temporary item: Jie's windbreaker (please check the system warehouse for details)]

Any props?

Zhou Wang was a little surprised. He opened the system warehouse and saw a gray windbreaker lying quietly in it.

[Zhe's Windbreaker: After wearing it, it will infinitely weaken the host's sense of presence in reality and conceal its whereabouts]

A deep voice also echoed in Zhou Wang's mind.

【The shadow exists within! 】

This is equivalent to... an invisible windbreaker?
Seeing such exciting props, Zhou Wang's heart skipped a beat.

"Jing"'s title in the game is "Lord of Shadows", so it seems reasonable for him to have such a windbreaker.

Although the system did not say it explicitly, it was obvious that this item was to help him complete the hidden round. Zhou Wang immediately took it out and put it on.

There was nothing special about it, and the style of the windbreaker was very ordinary, but when Zhou Wang walked into the gate of the community wearing it, he clearly felt something different.

Not only did the security guard who was watching a short video not react at all, but the couple who were walking towards him and talking and laughing didn't even look at him, as if he didn't exist at all.

But where do I go next?
Zhou Wang walked along the community road in a daze, and soon he stopped.

Because he saw Jiang Mo.

Jiang Mo was standing at the door of a townhouse with peeling paint. There was an open suitcase at her feet and a lot of clothes scattered on the ground next to it.

Swish!
Another piece of clothing was thrown out from the door of the villa. Zhou Wang looked over and saw a middle-aged woman standing there, with her hands on her hips, saying coldly: "Jiang Mo, don't blame us for being cruel. If you want to blame someone, blame your father."

"Although he's in jail, it doesn't mean that the money he owes us is over. The court has already allocated this house to us, and you've been living there for several months in vain. Since you still can't pay the rent, it's time to move out!"

"Wife, otherwise..."

There was another middle-aged man standing behind the woman, with an expression of pity on his face, as if he wanted to say something.

"you shut up!"

The woman interrupted him directly and shouted in a sharp voice: "You are the only one who can be a good person, right? If you hadn't insisted on lending the money to Jiang Yunfei, there wouldn't be so many problems!"

"that is not……"

The couple seemed to have some argument, and the woman slammed the door shut, blocking out all sound.

Zhou Wang turned his head and looked at Jiang Mo, who had remained silent. Her long hair covered her cheeks. Zhou Wang could not see the expression hidden in the shadow, but he clearly saw a drop of crystal tear falling silently along her smooth chin.
