The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

The next morning at 8:30, after having breakfast in his room, Zhou Wang took the exclusive elevator down to the basement, accompanied by Bella.

There was already a driver wearing white gloves and a black Toyota Alphard waiting in the parking slot.

The night before, Zhou Wang had informed Bella in advance about his car requirements, and during breakfast, Bella provided three car models for Zhou Wang to choose from.

They were a BMW 7 Series, a Mercedes S-Class, and a Toyota Alphard.

There was actually a fourth option, an unconventional choice—the Rolls-Royce limousine that the hotel rarely used, seemingly a Ghost.

Although Zhou Wang was tempted, he ultimately opted for the relatively low-key Toyota Alphard, not because the first three were free and the Rolls-Royce was charged per kilometer.

With the biggest discount, even if Zhou Wang spent all day cruising around in the Rolls-Royce, it wouldn't cost him much.

Last night at midnight, the "Hedge Fund" profit of 100,000 yuan had arrived on time, and another 100,000 would be credited tonight at midnight. His money-making speed now almost matched robbery.

He mainly felt he was just going to read some books, without any hard reason to show off, and the Alphard, being a professional business vehicle, would be comfortable without being too flashy, which suited his needs.

After a 20-minute drive, the Alphard smoothly parked in front of the Provincial Library.

At this time, it was the rush hour, and the library, located in the center of Ming City near Cui Lake, was surrounded by a flurry of people. Zhou Wang, upon getting out of the car, attracted quite a bit of attention.

After all, it was a luxury car worth millions. Low-key compared to a Rolls-Royce, but still caught many eyes on the journey over.

Of course... whether they thought "this car is really ugly" or "this car is really handsome," he didn't know.

Life wasn't a short video; online people often claimed Mercedes and BMW had become common brands. In reality, if you were driving a Mercedes or BMW in your twenties or thirties, you were ahead of 90% of your peers. Unless picky, changing girlfriends would be a breeze.

Leaving his phone number and arranging a pickup time with the driver, Zhou Wang walked towards the library along the lush greenery on both sides of the road.

Reaching the library's main five-story building, Zhou Wang was astonished to find a long queue on the steps.

The Provincial Library opened at 9. Zhou Wang had deliberately arrived earlier to get a good spot, yet he was surprised to be late.

The last time Zhou Wang had visited such a place was two or three years ago, and that was the university library. He had never seen such a scene.

He could only marvel to himself at the diligence of people. No matter how hard you work, someone will always work harder... Luckily, he had his system.

Unfortunately, per the system's description, he could only read books here; otherwise, Zhou Wang would have turned around and left.

No choice but to join the line honestly!

He thought it would be nice if there were a pretty young lady to catch his eye at this moment.

No sooner had Zhou Wang thought this than he looked up and indeed spotted a girl with a very nice back view.

She stood on the sun-dappled steps, tall and conspicuous among the crowd.

Her hair was in a bun, basked in golden light, cascading down her neck like snow. Her arms crossed in front, making her white shirt cling to her straight back, perfectly showing the right-angled shoulders and A4 waist.

Her lower half wore a conservative black skirt, and judging by the proportions, a pair of long legs were concealed beneath.

Though he couldn't see her face, the frequent furtive glances by the men above made it clear that her features couldn't be bad.

Zhou Wang had no intention of going around to see her face, as his place in line had already been taken by a dozen people behind him.

He trusted his own aesthetic more, in an age filled with style tutorials. With so many back-view killers, some things were better left imagined.

After a while, Zhou Wang withdrew his gaze, sensing something peculiar. With a slight turn of his head, he saw a girl with black-framed glasses and a ponytail slightly panicking, her head lowered, her ears burning red.

Zhou Wang was stunned for a moment, then realized what had happened.

Although the Provincial Library was open to the public, this early-morning queue mostly consisted of young people looking to study for exams. As another girl passed, brushing her hair after catching his eye, Zhou Wang suddenly remembered a saying,

"You gaze from the bridge at the scenery, and the people viewing the scenery look at you from below."

He wasn't lacking in looks; his changed hairstyle had reshaped his face, plus his Versace casual attire had made him stand out even more in the "plain" crowd than the white-shirted girl.

The most significant change, however, was the confidence brought about by the "Posture Training Book."

Even standing relaxedly, Zhou Wang unconsciously held his head high and chest out, keeping his back in a straight posture. He would no longer instinctively shy away when making eye contact with strangers, sometimes even smiling or nodding.

Frequenting TV personalities always exuded such poise due to their professional training.

Under the system's enforced corrections, Zhou Wang had prematurely reached a trained state, though still in the habit-forming stage, often feeling awkward.

After a few more minutes of waiting, the library's doors opened, and the line started moving forward.

The queuing process was much faster than Zhou Wang had imagined, and upon entering, he discovered how convenient modern libraries were.

No library card was needed anymore; just present an ID or any valid document to borrow books for free... yes, completely free.

If you wanted to take books outside, you'd need to get a card upstairs.

Now, everything was self-service on machines; apart from an information desk, staff were practically invisible, showing the information era's convenience.

The only downside was the lack of private rooms in such public libraries. Finding a satisfying spot depended on luck.

After scanning his card to enter, Zhou Wang quickly made his way to the Chinese book section, where nearly every Chinese book published in the past five years could be found, including translated foreign books. Most of the books from the system's list could probably be found here.

If he were to go to a bookstore, it might not be as comprehensive as here.

"Wealth of Nations... found it!"

Zhou Wang quickly located his first target book in the finance section. Online reviews suggested this book, due to its core content summarization, could typically be finished in a day, making it his top choice.

To make the most of his time, he needed another target book as backup.

He headed to the legal section and eventually found a book titled "Cave Mystery" in a corner of the shelves.

This was essentially an introductory law book. Zhou Wang found the title interesting; the points given were high, and being a narrative on popularizing law, he should easily get absorbed, placing it high on his reading list.

Just as Zhou Wang put his hand on it, another fair, slender, unbelievably beautiful hand reached over, covering his.

Feeling the cold, soft touch, Zhou Wang looked up in astonishment.
