Zhou Wang listened as Shao Xiaoqi vividly described various scenarios, leaving Zhou Wang somewhat impressed.
The "Blindfold" from his warehouse still hadn’t found any practical use.
Unfortunately, Zhou Wang wasn’t generally attracted to the looks of Western women. To encounter a Western girl who perfectly fits the Eastern aesthetic, like Isabelle Adjani, Jessica Alba, or Gal Gadot, would require some luck.
At the very least, she’d have to be like Mila Azul, the famous Ukrainian model, right?
Just looking at her, she seemed very nurturing.
Next, the four of them engaged in various entertainment activities at the club, giving Zhou Wang a brand new understanding of such high-end business clubs.
As Young Master Zhang said, the meticulous and comprehensive services they offered were simply amazing.
There were elegant activities like tasting tea, wine, and cigars, playing chess, playing sports, reading, listening to music, watching movies, soaking in hot springs, or even renting a meditation room with a small waterfall for meditation...
They didn’t lack the more common activities either. Besides the elevator bunnies and bubble girls, there were KTV girls, dance girls, yoga girls, and there were even male models, if you needed them.
Most of the girls worked part-time, as college students, models, and even housewives...
The club’s second-floor chess and card area was also spacious. To cater to Zhou Wang’s interests, after singing at KTV and enjoying some girl-group dances, the four of them specifically rented a gaming room to play Texas Hold’em for a while.
With blind bets at 200 and 500, the club provided a professional croupier to deal and score for the four of them... also a girl in a sexy outfit.
The result was that novice Zhou Wang won on his own, while Young Master Zhang and the others lost a total of "fifty thousand chips" to him.
"Your luck is just unreal... with this kind of card luck, even world champions like Poison King and Ai Wei would get schooled by you!"
After the game was over, Young Master Zhang said a bit frustrated.
Zhou Wang was indeed a beginner, which they all could see, knowing nothing and going all-in impulsively.
But the problem was that every ten hands or so, Zhou Wang would get "AA," supposedly the strongest opening hand in Texas Hold’em, often hitting three of a kind, occasionally even four of a kind. How the hell could anyone still play against that?
"Thanks for letting me win, hahaha!"
With chips piling up almost beyond manageable space, Zhou Wang grinned widely and casually tossed a "10000" chip to the dealer girl as a tip, making her so happy that her long legs in black stockings nearly reached into Zhou Wang’s lap.
...
When the four of them finally finished and emerged from the club, it was already 10:30 in the evening.
As Guo Bing swiped the card to settle the bill, Zhou Wang deliberately took a glance at the long receipt.
By the end of the day, the total expense for the four of them amounted to over 320,000.
Bath and massage took away more than 20,000, the KTV session along with drinks took another 40,000, the chess room charged by the hour, plus the attendant fees, was 1888 per hour, but the real big spender was the bottle of wine Guo Bing ordered during dinner—
The legendary true wine emperor, Romanee Conti.
The wine was from 2014, with a real market price of about 100,000, but the club sold it for 188,888 a bottle.
"Uncle Zhou, you’re really not coming with us to the club? We’ve already reserved a table."
After coming out, Guo Bing asked for Zhou Wang’s opinion.
"I have to head back, I’m tired."
Zhou Wang declined directly.
"Shall I call another car to send you?"
Since Zhou Wang had mentioned it at dinner, the three of them didn’t insist. Shao Xiaoqi just asked.
"No need, my driver is already on his way. You guys don’t need to worry about me, just go wherever you like..."
Zhou Wang waved them off, and when the Maybach EQS pulled up to the curb, he got out of the car and watched the three of them drive away before he leisurely turned around.
He notified Miao Ying a bit late, so she was still on the road. Hence, Zhou Wang decided to wander around aimlessly and perhaps pick up some money.
"What are you still standing here for? I’m telling you, your little bit of money is only enough for me to drop you off here. You really think I’d take you to Magic City?"
"You said I could reach Magic City... you lied to me."
On the quiet side road, Zhou Wang’s attention was drawn by the cursing voice coming from the roadside, primarily because the response had a distinct Yunan Province accent, which felt quite familiar.
Following the sound, Zhou Wang saw a cargo truck parked by the roadside. The passenger door was half open, and a man in a tank top, slightly dirty, was standing with his back to Zhou Wang in front of the truck, holding onto the door, arguing with the driver.
The rather sturdy driver bent over, trying to forcefully close the door, but both his hands bulged with veins, and the door remained unmoved.
The driver showed a look of fear, then threatened, "If you keep this up, I’m calling the police. Don’t think I don’t know what’s up. Whenever we encountered law enforcement on the road, you always kept your head down. Something’s definitely fishy about you!"
Upon hearing this, the man’s grip finally loosened, and the driver quickly seized the opportunity to yank the door shut, promptly starting the truck.
As the truck pulled away, a backpack was tossed out of the window, landing at the man’s feet.
The man remained silent, watching the truck slowly drive away. However, just as the truck moved barely a dozen meters, the man suddenly bent down, picked up a rock from the nearby landscaping, and hurled it forward.
With a crisp "bang," under Zhou Wang’s stunned gaze, the rock accurately shattered the truck’s right side mirror.
What the heck, what kind of superhuman ability is this?
Zhou Wang didn’t expect that this seemingly ordinary man, dressed like a construction worker, had such skills. How impressive!
Screech!
The truck made an abrupt stop, and Zhou Wang could vaguely hear the driver swearing. However, perhaps due to some concerns, the driver ultimately didn’t get out of the truck. Instead, he restarted the engine, and soon, the truck sped away.
After tossing the rock, the man in the tank top picked up the backpack from the ground, dusting it off. Then, looking around, he spotted Zhou Wang standing on the side of the road.
Their eyes met, and as Zhou Wang felt an inexplicable bit of tension, the man hesitated for a moment before suddenly walking toward him.
