Chapter 506 Generous Rewards
Ding!
["Graves' Beret" has run out of energy and has been automatically destroyed]

……

Ding!
[The host has completed the hidden round, and the round rewards are issued simultaneously]

【宿主获得：基兰的时光齿轮（编号009）x1、全球产业随机大礼包x1、魔都商圈随机产业大礼包x1、道具·“烬的舞台礼服”x1】

……

Ding!
[It was detected that the host's final choice retained a certain degree of originality and was appreciated by a specific god. Extra rewards have been issued.]

[Host obtains permanent item: Yongen's Demon Mask]

[If you wear a mask long enough, you will forget the face behind it]

……

Zhou Wang, who had been constantly greeting guests because of his "lateness", was stunned when he heard a series of prompts suddenly sounded from the system.

To be honest, he had already given up on this [Hidden Round].

Because he couldn't fully accomplish either of the two options given by the system.

justice?

In order to achieve the so-called justice given by the system, he has to conceal the crime committed by Guo Nansheng, which means that he has to be magnanimous and let Gao Xuelan go. This is only "justice" for Guo Nansheng.

As for the other option, to completely eradicate Guo Nansheng, he was also unable to do it.

This is the simpler option though.

In the end, Zhou Wang simply chose to end the matter in his own way.

He spared Guo Nansheng's life, but also gave certain warnings to the six former members of Wangjiang Club. He called the police, but also let Gao Xuelan fall down the stairs...

This is neither black nor white, and does not fit any of the options provided by the system, but he never expected that he would still complete the [Hidden Round] in a special way.

Zhou Wang seemed to be thinking about something.

He just suddenly remembered the original name of the system... "The Game of Life".

If life is really a game of chess, how can there be a set way to place the pieces?
Zhou Wang then felt relieved.

"Sister Mi, excuse me for a moment."

Zhou Wang, who wanted to take some time to check the system rewards, could only apologize to Miss Yang in front of him.

Miss Yang, who was enthusiastically sharing gossip with Zhou Wang, was startled when she heard this, and then said with some resentment:

"You just talked to Miss Gu and Miss Bai for more than two minutes, how come you only talked to me in a few words?"

Zhou Wang never expected that this could be a reason for Miss Yang to get jealous. He could only raise his hands in surrender, "I really have something urgent to do... How about this, how many days do you want to stay in the Magic City?"

"Not sure yet, but there's a very important audition here, I should be here for at least two or three days..."

"Then I promise that during your time in the Magic City, I will at least have dinner with you. Is that okay?"

"alone?"

"alone."

"Then at least watch a movie with me again."

There was a sly flash in Miss Yang's eyes.

"Just watching movies?"

"Nonsense...what else do you want to do?"

"That's fine."

Zhou Wang, who was forced to sign an unequal treaty, went into the lounge after comforting Miss Yang and checked the various new rewards he had received.

[Kilan's Time Gears] can be skipped directly. After all, Zhou Wang has already opened it twice, so he can be considered familiar with it. The numbering this time is relatively later. Judging from the timeline, it should be about what happened after "himself" returned to China. You can load it when you have time.

Then there are the two gift packages containing material rewards.

[Global Industry Random Gift Pack: This gift pack can only be opened when "leaving the country", and will generate an industry combination gift pack with a total value of no less than 10 billion yuan outside the mainland]

[Random gift packs in Shanghai business district: After opening, you will receive random industry combination gift packs located in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai business districts, which are transferred free of charge by a total of six companies including Lingxi Group, Yuanri Shipping, Guo Group (Jiangbei), and Sutong Express]

……

After seeing this, Zhou Wang's expression looked a little strange.

Isn’t this industrial plunder in a sense?

wrong……

All rewards of the system come from interactive reality. Could this be the chain reaction after I issued a warning to several people during the round?

Shen Li and others who are feeling uneasy will certainly be happy to give up part of their assets in exchange for his trust.

If Zhou Wang's guess is true, then this part of the reward is equivalent to what he has fought for himself.

……

Finally, there are the special props produced by the two systems.

[Jin's Stage Dress: When wearing this dress, your every word and action will attract other people's attention and can fool others to a certain extent, making your words and actions more convincing.]

[Yongen's Demon Mask: When wearing this mask, the host will temporarily gain extraordinary thinking ability and can open the "Memory Palace"]

[Special reminder from the god Yongen: This item was originally a product of the gods, but after being cursed and contaminated, it became a "devil's item". If you continue to wear it with a mortal body, there will be certain side effects. Please use it with caution.]

……

After a quick look, Zhou Wang was stunned and felt a sense of surprise that he had not felt for a long time.

After all, after having a certain amount of money, although Zhou Wang’s cash has never been abundant, the continuously expanding assets have long made it difficult for him to feel any sense of gain in material terms. However, the props produced by the system are completely different.

Their effects are often surreal.

For example, the [Graves' Beret] that Zhou Wang had just consumed. It was because of this hat that Zhou Wang could let Xiao Wang help him clean up the mess without worrying about any legal risks.

And the two props rewarded by the system this time are both extremely practical.

【Jin's dress】is worthy of his title of "The Master of Play", and after putting it on, he can actually fool others to a certain extent, which is equivalent to turning into a PUA master. The only bad thing is that it will become the focus of the crowd, and conflicts will arise when it is necessary to keep a low profile. It can be said that there are pros and cons. In addition, Zhou Wang checked and found that although it is called a dress, there is also a DIY option that can change it into a normal suit or casual clothes, but it can only be customized once.

[Yone's Mask] At first glance, it seems to have only advantages. His extraordinary thinking ability allows him to briefly possess a god's perspective, which is equivalent to becoming "another self" to a certain extent. There should be very few problems in this world that can stump him.

As for the additional capabilities of the "memory palace", friends who have watched a British TV series called "Sherlock Holmes" will definitely be familiar with it.

That is a terrifying ability that only people with extremely high IQs possess. It means that everything you have experienced, seen, and all the knowledge will be stored in your mind in a three-dimensional form. When you enter your own "memory palace", you can extract the information you need from it.

It was originally an extremely powerful prop, but this prop came with a special prompt from the "God". This was the first time Zhou Wang encountered this, which meant that its side effects were probably not just as simple as "a certain degree".

At this moment, Zhou Wang remembered the meaningful voice just now: "If you wear the mask long enough, you will forget the face behind it."

So... a possible side effect is losing yourself?
Zhou Wang tapped the table with his fingers, and after a moment he withdrew his mind from the system interface.

In any case, the harvest this time can be considered extremely rich. The two props obtained are also extremely practical, and it seems that they can be combined together to produce the effect of "1+1>2". Although they cannot be used frequently, they can be regarded as a trump card in the bottom of the box.

Boom boom boom!
At this time, there was a knock on the door. After getting Zhou Wang's permission, Lin Ran walked in first. Behind her was Qi Jiayi with a slightly cold expression.

"Boss, Sister Jiayi is here."

The women around Zhou Wang all hold a very respectful attitude towards Qi Jiayi, Zhou Wang's current chief personal lawyer. It's not just because Qi Jiayi is the highest paid of Zhou Wang's subordinates, and only Jiang Qingkui can barely compete with her. There is another very important reason...

They all knew that Qi Jiayi was "misogyny".

Yes, Zhou Wang didn’t know where such rumors came from. It was not until one day when Xu Wenxi quietly asked him that Zhou Wang realized that they secretly had such an impression of Qi Jiayi.

But it seems normal. After all, Qi Jiayi's main personality is indeed cold and aloof.

Perhaps because of this reason, they subconsciously did not think that Qi Jiayi would have any other relationship with Zhou Wang, so even Jiang Qingkui was very polite to Qi Jiayi.

"You go out first."

Zhou Wang nodded to Lin Ran.

After Lin Ran left, Qi Jiayi and Zhou Wang were the only ones left in the room. Zhou Wang then asked, "How was it?"

"He accepted the money. Xiaoliu, disguised as a black car driver, will take him all the way to Yangshan Port."

Qi Jiayi gave a brief report.

Hearing that Guo Nansheng at least did not "save face to death", Zhou Wang nodded slightly. As for what would happen after leaving the country and whether Guo Nansheng could really let go of that hatred, it all depended on his own luck.

Another key factor is the situation of Guo Nansheng's mother.

"Mrs. Guo, please keep an eye out for me and notify me when you find her."

"it is good."

Qi Jiayi had no choice but to agree to Zhou Wang's order, and then she hesitated to speak.

Zhou Wang seemed to have guessed what she was going to say, and waved his hand without even turning his head. "Since the matter has been settled, don't say those words... I know what's going on, don't worry, it's okay."

Seeing Zhou Wang's indifferent attitude, Qi Jiayi was a little angry, but since Zhou Wang had stopped her from talking, she couldn't say anything more. She could only snort and turn around and leave without saying a word.

Although Qi Jiayi's face didn't look very good, Zhou Wang glanced at her graceful back and smiled knowingly.

Because the "loyalty" on Qi Jiayi's [resume], which had not moved for a long time, quietly rose by three points tonight and finally broke through the 75 level.

Her initial loyalty was only 65. Later, because she was always wary of Zhou Wang and did not give Zhou Wang the opportunity to sleep with her, her loyalty only symbolically increased by 7 points as the time they spent together increased. It has remained at 72 for a long time.

Tonight, there was finally some breakthrough.

The reason is that Zhou Wang had an idea to let Qi Jiayi participate in such a secret event. When they shared a common secret, although Qi Jiayi was dissatisfied with Zhou Wang's approach, he would unconsciously become close to Zhou Wang.

...It's just a little trick to play with people's hearts.

Jingle Bell!
The phone rang. Zhou Wang saw that it was "Xiao Wang" calling, so he quickly pressed the answer button.

"Hey?"

"Mr. Zhou, the police need your cooperation in taking a statement. Because they know that tonight's banquet is of a special nature and you may not be able to leave, they are waiting for you in the conference room. It won't take you too long. Do you think it's convenient for you now?"

"Has Gao Xuelan been caught?"

Zhou Wang asked.

"The person has been caught, but when the ambulance arrived, her vital signs were already very weak. The emergency doctor said there was little hope of saving her. She should be on the way to the hospital now..."

"I see. Please ask them to wait for a moment. I'll be right there."

Zhou Wang understood and hung up the phone.

……

20 minutes later, Zhou Wang walked out of the conference room and politely shook hands with the police and said goodbye.

I watched them walk into the elevator, and when the elevator door closed, it symbolized that everything had come to a temporary end.

Zhou Wang let out a long sigh. Others only spent one night, but after experiencing the time travel, it was like he spent two nights... It could only be said that it was extremely long.

Fortunately, it's finally over now.

Accompanied by Lin Ran and Xu Wenxi, Zhou Wang returned to the banquet hall. It was almost nine o'clock in the evening. Due to Zhou Wang's frequent absences, the progress of the dinner was delayed a lot. Fortunately, it was not too late now.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhou Wang, who had tidied up his clothes, walked onto the stage, held onto the microphone and said with a smile:
"Good evening, everyone. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. I'm also sorry to have missed the opening dance... The reason I'm late is because I was busy saving the world. Yes, there were about 20 bombs planted in this building. If I hadn't gone to deal with them, we would have all been blown up by now."

Listening to Zhou Wang's pretended serious words, there was a burst of laughter from the audience, probably because they rarely heard such an exaggerated excuse for being late.

After a simple joke, Zhou Wang got to the point:
"To make a long story short, first I want to announce something and introduce someone to you... my secretary, Miss Jiang Qingkui!"

This was the second time Zhou Wang had gone through a similar process, but Jiang Qingkui was still so excited that she could hardly control herself.

Zhou Wang, who had predicted her movements in advance, hugged her and let Jiang Qingkui's passionate kiss naturally fall on his cheek.

Because he was much more relaxed this time, Zhou Wang felt a little bored, and he could also clearly feel Jiang Qingkui's extremely hot body temperature.

He even had the energy to joke with Jiang Qingkui:
"We'll have a private conversation at night?"

"Um……"

"Ok?"

Hearing the sound as thin as a mosquito's buzz next to his ear, it was Zhou Wang's turn to be confused.
