He casually scrolled through and was soon drawn to another message, which even made him sit up straight.
The chat box among the barrage of information didn’t really stand out, and the text was brief. Yet, it had a strong effect, making Zhou Wang feel even more excited than when he saw Su Yajing’s message—
"Kill the Mockingbird," it said, "Both she and I were moved to tears."
Just these simple seven words were enough to make Zhou Wang look serious and ponder carefully.
She? Which "she"?
Hold on, damn, this Jiang Qingkui is at it again with the "child psychology" routine...
Even though he was thinking this, Zhou Wang couldn’t help but reply to her, and for once, it was a rare, rough response, "Sister Qingkui, without a pic, you’re just babbling!"
After sending this, although he didn’t want to care, Zhou Wang’s eyes couldn’t help but focus on the chat interface, curious to see how Jiang Qingkui would respond.
"Wait a moment."
Hastily, Jiang Qingkui replied.
Hell!
Zhou Wang couldn’t pretend to be calm any longer. What did Jiang Qingkui mean, was she really going to send a picture?!
As Zhou Wang waited anxiously, several minutes passed by, and as the Rolls Royce turned onto the Hangzhou-Rui Expressway, with a "ding," a picture finally popped up on the chat interface.
With lightning speed, Zhou Wang clicked save first, to prevent Jiang Qingkui from suddenly withdrawing it, and only then did he start to look.
"Kill the Mockingbird," it said, "Crying us.jpg."
Damn, what the heck, after all that, it’s just a picture of a toy!
While despising Jiang Qingkui’s inability to play along, Zhou Wang also magnified the original image, carefully checking all the details.
Hmm, it shouldn’t be a web photo if the background is the Magic City Ritz-Carlton Hotel’s big bed, matching the photos Xu Wenqian had sent before, exactly where they were staying now...
The hand was also Jiang Qingkui’s, with long fingers and nude-colored nail polish.
It’s just that Zhou Wang hadn’t seen this style of toy before, how did it look so much like a crooked pen, without knowing how it’s used. Although Jiang Qingkui hadn’t lied, it was indeed covered with traces of tears...
"Cough, were you thinking of me at that moment..."
Zhou Wang first typed a line, then thought for a moment and deleted it.
Wouldn’t that seem like he was being led by the nose?
Thus, he finally only returned a "read."
Seeing Jiang Qingkui didn’t reply again, Zhou Wang put away his phone, then immersed his consciousness into the system interface.
Time to check out the rewards for [Conqueror]...
Previously, everything was so chaotic, and the system’s notifications were too frequent so Zhou Wang didn’t have time to check.
Yet, this should actually have been Zhou Wang’s biggest gain tonight.
Ding!
As he just entered the system interface, the system prompt sound came up first.
[Detected that the title "Conqueror" has reached its maximum stack, do you want to settle the rewards now?]
Zhou Wang paused, then took a closer look, and only then did he understand.
Originally, this "temporary title" could last for 12 hours, but because Zhou Wang went on stage, it equaled using an ultimate skill once, instantly stacking the maximum of 1000 layers, after which collecting emotions didn’t help anymore...
Among the 1000 stacks of [Conqueror], there were all kinds of emotions, but they mainly focused on "admiration, amazement, intoxication, and praise," which aligned well with the reactions from the audience.
Since he didn’t need to time it anymore, Zhou Wang naturally clicked "yes" without hesitation.
Ding!
["Conqueror" title has expired, system settling rewards]
[Host received "Perfect Wolong Fortune Bag" x1]
Because of the map’s blessing, all "Magic Balls" were replaced with "Fortune Bags," and Zhou Wang had already opened two "Imperfect Fortune Bags" before. This was his first time obtaining a "Perfect Fortune Bag."
He just wondered if there was only one level difference between the two...
With curiosity, Zhou Wang clicked on "open."
Ding!
