Chapter 10

A long day had passed once again.

That day, Zhou Xing stayed at home, reading novels, and did nothing else. This wasn't the habit of a tycoon; the current Zhou Xing was more like a homebody, or rather, he appeared to be a tycoon on the surface, but in reality, he was still a nobody, and his personality hadn't changed. Changing a person's established character is a very difficult task.

The tycoon system was also quite helpless about this.

That evening, the number of favorites for "Battle Through the Heavens" had reached 46,205, and it might break 50,000 by the next morning.

Before going to bed, Zhou Xing browsed the Master Penguin Group. Perhaps due to the small number of members, the group was rather quiet.

However, when Zhou Xing sent a smiling emoji, the quiet group immediately became lively. Although it was a Master Penguin Group, many of the members were students, and there weren't many real tycoons. Therefore, flatterers, show-offs, and those seeking support appeared in droves. Even a few famous authors came out to chat, giving Zhou Xing plenty of face, making him feel greatly honored!

The treatment of a tycoon was indeed different!

Back when he was just a small-time author, had he ever received such enthusiastic welcome?

This made Zhou Xing even more determined in his belief: it's better to be a reader who spends money than an author who earns money!

He chatted and joked in the Penguin Group for a while until he felt a bit tired, then logged off to sleep.

Of course, before going to bed, he couldn't forget to give his brother a 10 million reward!

"【Reward】Heavenly flowers fall, moved to tears, the gentleman's talent deserves this reward! 'Zhou Xing' rewards 'Dongyang' 10,000,000 Origin Points: Too exciting, the author's talent deserves a reward!"

Currently, Zhou Xing's fan value in "Battle Through the Heavens" had reached 50 million, ranking first!

The second place was also a master, but with only a pitiful 150,000, the difference was like the sky and the earth. Zhou Xing finally experienced the loneliness of being a top player. To become a top player, one must first learn to get used to loneliness. Zhou Xing, chin in hand, pondered how to get used to it.

After much thought, he still had no answer. Zhou Xing covered his head and fell asleep.

Around 7 or 8 in the morning, Zhou Xing was woken up by the system's voice.

However, he wasn't at all annoyed; instead, he was abnormally excited!

"Congratulations, host, for completing the task—Help Brother Become a God. Task completion rating: S. Task reward: Tycoon Aura. System additional reward: 1 million RMB, one chance to spin the wheel."

The task required 30 days, but Zhou Xing completed it 24 days ahead of schedule. If this efficiency didn't qualify as S-level, he didn't know what would. He had expected this rating, so what excited him was the system's additional reward.

As for the task reward, he didn't pay much attention. After all, he had no idea what Tycoon Aura was.

"Little master has also entered the well-off class!"

Hearing the system's reward of 1 million RMB, Zhou Xing was instantly moved to tears.

This money wasn't a fixed amount for the system to squander, but rather free funds for Zhou Xing to use as he pleased! However, he was more concerned about the chance to spin the wheel, as the concept that the system's products are always top-notch had deeply imprinted in his mind. If he could draw something good, it would be a huge gain!

"Does the host want to spin the wheel now?"

"Of course! System, quickly, quickly bring out the wheel, I want to start spinning!" The two "quickly" words proved how eager Zhou Xing was.

In Zhou Xing's line of sight, a transparent, glowing wheel appeared in mid-air.

The wheel was large, with a diameter exceeding three meters, and was slowly spinning. The wheel was covered with densely packed arrows, and the places the arrows pointed to were written with small words, which glowed. It was somewhat like an arcade fruit machine, but the content on the wheel was far too much, making Zhou Xing's eyes dazzle.

Zhou Xing was a lazy person, so he didn't bother to look closely and directly told the system, "Let's start the spin now!"

"Spinning in progress, the wheel has started. Please, host, say 'stop.'"

"Stop!"

Zhou Xing was quite straightforward; as soon as the system finished speaking, he shouted "stop."

3...2...1...

Stop!

The wheel finally stopped, and the largest arrow pointed to the right, exactly 90 degrees clockwise. The place the arrow pointed to had a row of small words: Super Memory (Ability).

Super Memory (Ability): Includes rapid memory and rapid comprehension. Rapid memory is the ability to quickly store information in the brain, while rapid comprehension is the ability to quickly analyze and absorb information in the brain.

The simple and clear explanation made Zhou Xing instantly understand the wonders of Super Memory.

"Awesome!" Zhou Xing's face was beaming with joy.

Although it wasn't the combat ability Zhou Xing had hoped for, its value was still significant, and its practicality was even higher than that of combat abilities. After all, this was a bustling metropolis where combat situations rarely occurred, and most people might never encounter one in their lifetime. Zhou Xing also recognized that he didn't have the ability to challenge the law, so Super Memory was more suitable for him now.

Perhaps he would need combat abilities in the future, but at least not now.

"With this ability, I'll instantly become a top student!" Zhou Xing imagined the scene of being surrounded by countless people asking for study tips, and his expression became increasingly lecherous.

In fact, everyone has a dream of being a top student. You might deny or even disdain it, but if you ask yourself, have you never envied those top students? And even those who are top students are still somewhat proud, after all, not everyone can become a top student. To become a top student, effort alone is not enough; talent is also a crucial innate factor.

Now, with this ability in hand, Zhou Xing was determined to become a top student!

Not for anything else, just to stand out.

However, before Zhou Xing could open his books, the system issued another task, which was a bit strange, leaving Zhou Xing unsure how to evaluate it.

"Host has obtained the first pot of gold, taking the first step towards the goal of becoming a tycoon. However, to become a tycoon, the host still has a long way to go. Based on the host's current situation, the system issues the second task: Recruit Lackeys. As a qualified tycoon, lackeys are essential, and to become a tycoon, the lackeys must be of high quality. Task requirements: Recruit two lackeys with special skills or high status by squandering funds from the tycoon system. Task reward: 1 million RMB. Additional rewards will be determined based on the task completion rating."

At first, Zhou Xing thought he had just received 1 million RMB and hadn't even had time to enjoy it before having to spend it again. Fortunately, the system mentioned the squandering account, which relieved him.

"But even so, this amount of money won't last long!" As a tycoon who once gave a 10 million Origin Points reward, Zhou Xing now realized that 1 million RMB wasn't as much as he had imagined. At his spending rate on Origin Chinese Network, 1 million RMB would be spent in five days at most, and if he was more generous, he could spend 1 million RMB in a day.

1 million RMB, Super Memory, and now there was one last reward to check.

Tycoon Aura, he wondered what this thing was for.

"System, what's the use of this thing?" Zhou Xing asked bluntly.

"Tycoon Aura: A unique aura of a tycoon, the highest realm of a tycoon, composed of various intangible auras such as nobility, wealth, dominance, and mystery. As long as one has the Tycoon Aura, even a beggar on the street will look no different from a noble king. From the outside, the owner of the Tycoon Aura is indistinguishable from a real tycoon. The host can freely choose to switch between the Tycoon Aura state and the normal state at any time."

This thing sounds awesome!

"Tycoon Aura, I like it!" Zhou Xing found that this thing was also very impressive and could be used to show off occasionally.

In summary, today's gains were still quite good, despite the strange task being a bit annoying.

Subsequently, Zhou Xing had the system create a sub-account named 'Real Funds Account.'

This way, Zhou Xing had four accounts.

Squandering Account: 88,200,000 RMB.

Film Investment Account: 10,000,000 RMB.

Music Investment Account: 0 RMB.

Real Funds Account: 1,000,000 RMB.

Among the four accounts, Zhou Xing was most concerned about the Real Funds Account, as it represented how much he could spend in reality. Next was the Squandering Account, as the funds in this account determined how much he would receive next month. The last were the Film Investment Account and Music Investment Account.

After sorting things out, Zhou Xing wasn't sleepy anymore, so he took out his high school textbooks and started reading from the beginning.

Although the memories from his previous life were still there, it had been many years since he last touched them, and this body had no memory related to the textbooks. Therefore, Zhou Xing had to start learning again. Fortunately, Super Memory was even more impressive than he had imagined, and he didn't need to strain his brain to remember and understand most of the knowledge, and to integrate it.

Text-based subjects were easier to learn, while math-based subjects were harder.

However, nothing is achieved overnight, even with Super Memory!

After all, many of the concepts in the textbooks were not clearly explained and were somewhat vague, requiring reference books for deeper understanding and reinforcement. Therefore, Zhou Xing needed to go to the library to browse.

"Xing, are you up? Come out and see who's back!"

Zhou Hong's voice today sounded particularly happy, and it was unclear what good thing had happened.

Standing next to him was a gentle and graceful woman. She had a refined and natural aura, dressed in a clean and neat manner, but her beautiful eyes were filled with a gentle ripple.

She looked at Zhou Hong in confusion. Why was he so happy to wake up Zhou Xing? Didn't he used to hate this youngest son the most? Why did he seem so strange today? Could their relationship have improved so much in just three weeks? It was already past 9:00, and at this time, Zhou Xing would usually have already gone out to wander around.

What she really wanted to ask was, "What happened at home while I was away?"

However, Zhou Hong revealed a mysterious and confident smile, which she found very captivating. She vaguely remembered that over twenty years ago, she had been captivated by such a smile, which led her to choose to run away with this man.

PS: Thanks to 'Perverted No Self' and 'Qian Yu Qian Yu' for the 100 Origin Points reward.
