Or to put it another way, the reward system in these places was originally invisible, and could only be seen when Zhou Wang encountered or accidentally triggered it.
But now, through the chessboard of the "Wolong Realm," everything became traceable.
It became much easier for him to trigger the rewards.
The chessboard in the Mysterious Store also had different levels, and the "Mythical Chessboard" was undoubtedly the highest level among them, which was the benefit of the first trigger.
Zhou Wang glanced at it, the exchange price of the "Mythical Chessboard" was as high as a million points of Reputation Value, a top item currently beyond his reach.
As for the meaning of at least three initial Hidden Rounds, it meant that within this map, there must be more than three Hidden Rounds that could be unlocked...
Hidden Rounds, you could refer to the earliest "Angels and Demons," which was also the starting point of Zhou Wang’s change in mindset.
As Zhou Wang gradually calmed down, the magnificent illusion that covered the entire city also gradually hid, and the city in his vision slowly returned to its ordinary scenery under the clear sky.
But there was an added "chessboard - open/close" button in the system interface, so Zhou Wang could change the scene he saw at any time if he wished.
Interesting...
Being amidst it, compared to the prosperous and immense Hang City, Zhou Wang seemed so small.
However, Zhou Wang felt somewhat stirred within.
With the assistance of the chessboard, he seemed to have the true capital to conquer this city.
Knowing the nature of the system, Zhou Wang might not be surprised by any surprises after clearing the Hang City instance...
"Mr. Zhou, what happened exactly?"
At this moment, the panting Xu Wenqian and Jiang Qingkui finally caught up below the Observation Deck, and in the distance, Xiao Biao was also coming over with a group of people.
"Nothing, I just felt a bit nauseous earlier, so I came to get some fresh air... let’s go."
Zhou Wang smiled at the two women, and before turning off the Observation Deck, he took out his phone and casually snapped a photo of the Qiantang River, just as a check-in.
Looking at the vast river water, towering high-rises, he couldn’t help but want to shout:
"Hang City, your Emperor is back!"
Oh no, I’ve never been to Hang City...
Then it should be, your king has arrived!
...
Back on the road, before long, the Mercedes-Benz S500L stopped near West Lake in Hang City.
Getting out of the car, Zhou Wang, with some anticipation, walked around a few trees that blocked the view, and soon, the legendary West Lake of Hang City appeared in his vision.
Emmm...
How should I put it?
At first glance, it wasn’t very stunning.
However, Zhou Wang reflected a bit, thinking that it might be due to too many labels in his memory, raising his expectations a bit too high.
After all, back in the day, a song called "The Water of West Lake, My Tears" was sung all over the country; probably many people had come with full expectations just like him before.
To be fair, the scenery here was certainly not bad, it just didn’t achieve a stunning level.
The unique tenderness of Jiangnan seemed to have also reflected into the water, presenting a style distinct from the highland lakes like Yangzong Sea.
When Zhou Wang paused briefly, Xiao Biao waved to let the other subordinates leave, and he himself led the three of them to a dock by West Lake.
The West Lake Four Seasons Hotel in Hang City offered many special services, one of which was the opportunity to take a boat provided by the hotel across West Lake, then enter the hotel’s private dock to check in.
Boarding the small boat sent by the hotel, with snacks and tea on the boat, gently rowed by the boatman, the boat glided across the water, swaying towards the inner lake of West Lake.
Most interestingly, there was an expert from the Zhe Province Wild Bird Association on the boat, who explained the ecological features of West Lake to them throughout the journey, playing the role of a tour guide.
"This secret lake tour service can also be purchased separately from the hotel, 3600 yuan per hour, or 450 per person for a shared boat..."
Xiao Biao said to Zhou Wang with a smile.
Zhou Wang was momentarily taken aback, then immediately understood his implication.
The lake tour service that Zhou Wang was experiencing was apparently free, or rather, included in the room rate.
Even a five-star hotel wouldn’t have room prices that could cover this service for all rooms; it could only mean that the room booked by Young Master Zhang’s second uncle was quite special, which made Zhou Wang even more expectant...
Although the service could last for an hour, Zhou Wang was clearly not interested in touring for that long, and after a cursory glance, about half an hour later, the boat docked at the private dock of the West Lake Hotel.
On the dock, there was a well-dressed woman, about thirty years old, with excellent temperament, waiting with two attendants.
"Mr. Zhou, hello, I am your personal concierge for this stay at West Lake Four Seasons with your friends, you can call me Xiao An or Ann~"
The woman quickly walked a few steps, came forward, and greeted Zhou Wang with a bow.
"Your English name is indeed convenient and easy to remember."
Zhou Wang smiled and shook hands with the woman.
After Xiao An also greeted Xu Wenqian and the others, the attendants took the luggage from everyone’s hands and placed it on the trolley, while Xiao An led everyone into the hotel.
"Mr. Zhou, would you like me to explain a bit about our hotel for you and your friends?"
Xiao An asked with a smile.
Zhou Wang, who was curiously looking around, nodded at her words, "That can’t hurt."
"Our West Lake Four Seasons Hotel officially opened in 2010 and has now been in operation for 14 years..."
"The hotel covers a total area of 37,000 square meters, but so far we only have 81 rooms, the smallest room is 76 square meters, and the entire hotel greening rate is over 55%..."
