The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life-Chapter 83 - 78 【Sinking into the Secular World】
Chapter 83: Chapter 78 【Sinking into the Secular World】
The system’s prompt sound actually activated the moment Zhou Wang entered the nightclub.
It was just too noisy at the time, and Zhou Wang only now confirmed it wasn’t his imagination.
The system really came to life.
“Live life to the fullest, embrace the ordinary.”
“Detected that the host is experiencing ‘nightclub first experience’, life experience richness +1, gaining a temporary item ‘Gujias’s Hand Drum’.”
“To understand the ordinary is the first step to being extraordinary.”
...
After reading the system prompt, Zhou Wang turned his gaze to the temporary item newly added in his inventory.
“Gujias’s Hand Drum: Upon use, within 3 hours of the drum sound echoing, if someone drinks a beer provided by you, different effects occur based on gender.”
“Same gender: Receive cashback of 1 to 5 times the sales price.”
“Opposite gender: Receive a random item fragment *1 (100 fragments can be combined into one complete item).”
“Both genders: Receive both effects simultaneously.”
“You buy, I show up!”
A booming, hearty voice from a game character was the last to echo.
…
Holy crap…
Zhou Wang instantly perked up.
What a find!
And with this item, his original surprise plan seemed to advance even further.
The only tricky part was the condition for the effects to trigger—it had to be someone drinking a full bottle of beer paid for by him.
But at least it was beer. If it were another kind of drink, let alone finishing a second bottle, most people would have a hard time even finishing the first.
Zhou Wang thought for a moment and pulled out his phone to send a message to the nightclub manager he had just added on WeChat.
The manager came quickly, but when he heard Zhou Wang’s request, his expression turned strange.
“Are you serious?”
“Of course… I remember looking at the drink menu, and your most expensive beer is 1664, right?”
Zhou Wang had some impression and asked.
“Excluding craft beer, for bottled beer, yes… both flavors are 380 for a dozen. If you really need it, I can give you the lowest discount…”
“Let’s go with the 1664.”
Zhou Wang immediately interrupted him, “I don’t care about the discount, but remember what I told you earlier—the process can’t go wrong!”
Craft beer was a no-go for Zhou Wang; its aftereffects were far stronger than regular beer. Most people couldn’t handle much of it, so something like 1664’s milder nature was more practical.
“Uh… I’m afraid I won’t remember. Could you please say it again?”
The manager opened his notes and looked at Zhou Wang.
So Zhou Wang repeated it once more. After the manager noted it down, he also instructed him to swap out Zhou Yiquan’s stored alcohol with 1664, only leaving the bottle of Armand de Brignac that Yu Duo had already drunk.
At this point, seeing the table piled high with 1664, Su Yajing and Yu Duo, who had been whispering to each other, looked over curiously.
“Brother, why did you suddenly change the drinks?”
“Oh, no other reasons, just simply want to drink 1664.”
Zhou Wang casually replied. Looking up, he saw that the bar’s waitstaff had started delivering boxes of 1664 to various tables, feeling slightly regretful.
This bar had a more budget-friendly style; if it were a traditional nightclub selling beer at seven or eight hundred a dozen, his profits tonight would surely be higher.
Zhou Wang waited for a while, and once the waitstaff had mostly delivered the drinks to the tables, he clicked to use the item in his inventory.
“Countdown: 3 hours.”
“Ranran, let’s all play a game together… Yutong, you join too.”
Seeing the countdown start, Zhou Wang hurriedly invited Su Yajing and others.
To consume more beer, playing a game was obviously the quicker method.
Not counting the sulking Cui Min’er, there were three women at his table, which couldn’t be wasted.
Compared to mere cashback, Zhou Wang naturally yearned more for the item fragments that money couldn’t buy.
“Okay, okay, what do you want to play, brother?”
Su Yajing and Yu Duo were eager, and Shen Yutong didn’t continue trying to persuade Cui Min’er; she obediently sat down.
“Liar’s Dice, how about one bottle per round?”
“Ah, o-one bottle per round?”
The three girls were dumbfounded.
“Is that too much? Ahem… how about half a bottle per round?”
Zhou Wang realized he might have been too hasty, quickly lowering the standard.
“Pfft.”
Shen Yutong suddenly laughed, “Other guys who want to drink with us would probably think of playing finger-pointing games, passing notes, or at least ‘Angel and Devil,’ but Brother Zhou, you really are… unique!”
“For your gentlemanly charm alone, I have to accompany you, half a bottle it is!”
Shen Yutong looked at Zhou Wang with sparkling eyes, gave a charming smile, and readily picked up the dice cup.
Zhou Wang felt slightly bewildered; he didn’t quite understand what Shen Yutong was implying, but as long as she agreed, it was good.
Since Shen Yutong agreed, Su Yajing and Yu Duo had no objections either.
To Su Yajing, it didn’t matter; if she got drunk, she got drunk, especially with Zhou Wang there. Yu Duo, who didn’t usually drink, had no concept at all; she just nodded along in bewilderment.
The game started quickly but ended just as abruptly.
In just over half an hour, Zhou Wang glanced at the dozen or so beers that had been reluctantly drunk and then at the visibly tipsy girls, reluctantly stopping.
Shen Yutong held up relatively well, but Su Yajing and Yu Duo were completely plastered; if not for Zhou Wang deliberately protecting Su Yajing, it’s hard to say if she would still be conscious.
As for Yu Duo, she was completely clueless, slurring her words.
In contrast, the lone Cui Min’er, drinking sulkily alone, had downed almost half a dozen beers, earning a bit of favor in Zhou Wang’s eyes.
“Let’s rest for a bit before continuing.”
Zhou Wang reckoned it was about time, so he took out his phone, sending a message to Bella, who had been waiting nearby, and also checked with the bar manager. After getting a positive answer, Zhou Wang put down his phone and pulled the slightly dazed Su Yajing into his arms.
“Ranran, how about I show you a magic trick?”
“Brother, you know magic too?”
Su Yajing perked up, wrapping her fair arm around Zhou Wang’s neck, whining playfully, “I want to see it, I want to see it!”
Well… “Money Power” counts as a kind of magic, doesn’t it?
Zhou Wang smiled and dramatically snapped his fingers.
The bar manager and DJ, who had been watching Zhou Wang’s every move, simultaneously pulled the switches.
Boom!
The entire nightclub instantly plunged into darkness, and the music stopped abruptly.
Strangely, the other patrons in the club barely reacted, keeping the chatter low, and many even excitedly urged their companions.
Only the three girls on the couch were startled, letting out exclamations.
Nestled in Zhou Wang’s embrace, Su Yajing raised her head in surprise, about to ask Zhou Wang how he did it, just as a glimmer of starlight appeared.
It was a lit phone screen, across which horizontal LED text scrolled:
“Miss Su, Mr. Zhou says he loves you.”
Before Su Yajing could recover, a second, third screen lit up in succession.
Soon, the entire bar glimmered with the same starlight, as every single raised phone screen displayed the same message:
“Miss Su, Mr. Zhou says he loves you.”
“This unique starry river I conjured for you with magic, do you like it?”

Zhou Wang leaned close to Su Yajing’s ear and gently asked.
