Chapter 179: Chapter 175: Only Doing 3 Things

The next day.

Su Yunzhou accompanied a tired, yawning Liu Yiyi to a hearty breakfast at the hotel. After dropping her off at work, he returned to his room. He had nothing planned for today except for three things: first, claim his special item; second, play Black Myth Wukong; and third, Liu Yiyi.

Sitting earnestly on the sofa, Su Yunzhou focused on the special reward in his mind—a red gift box tied with a bow. Clearing his mind of all distractions, he spoke in a deep voice.

"Open."

The red gift box began to glow, slowly opening up.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Corporate Acquisition Card.]

[Corporate Acquisition Card: Upon use, randomly acquires an enterprise in Rongcheng.]

[Friendly Reminder: The system will use reasonable, compliant, and legal methods for the acquisition and transfer all shares to the host’s name.]

Wow! The introduction was short, but it contained a massive amount of information. Acquiring a random enterprise? Anything that could be called an enterprise was no small business! Furthermore, transferring all the shares into his name meant he would have absolute controlling power. Without a doubt, this was the golden goose the system had rewarded him with. What was he waiting for?

"Use it!"

[Host meets the requirements. Corporate Acquisition Card used successfully.]

[Beginning acquisition of Jiecheng Limited Company.]

[Progress: 1%...]

[Estimated completion time: 15 days.]

It was done! It felt incredibly casual and simple. Su Yunzhou felt absolutely delighted, knowing that in fifteen days, he would be a big shot with 100-percent controlling stakes in an enterprise. With that in mind, he pulled out his phone and started searching for this company. Numerous search results popped up on the screen.

Su Yunzhou’s expression shifted. As he looked at the company’s main operations and its affiliated stores, his eyes lit up. He was actually quite familiar with this enterprise! He never expected that out of all the enterprises in Rongcheng, the system would randomly select this one. He could only say that fate worked in mysterious ways.

Given the fifteen-day acquisition period, he could take a few days off now, then use his travel card—the timing was perfectly aligned. Everything was arranged for the best. With his mind made up, a joyful Su Yunzhou prepared to tackle his second task for the day.

There was already a high-end PC in his room.

Black Myth Wukong. This globally sensational game had been online for a few days, but because Su Yunzhou had been busy actively preparing for his competition and engaging in romance, he hadn’t had the time to grace it with his attention. Now that he was finally free, he had the chance to start.

Of course, another reason for playing this game was to support Dragon Country’s culture. This representative AAA gaming masterpiece was, in a very real sense, a wave of reverse cultural export. On TikTok, many foreigners had already started reading *Journey to the West* to study various strategies for beating the game.

Perhaps that sounded a bit abstract. To give an example that would help everyone understand its monumental significance: in a gaming market long dominated by foreigners, the emergence of Black Myth Wukong was equivalent to the national football team making it into the World Cup. It was just that badass.

The game launched. After the stunning opening CG animation, Su Yunzhou began to enjoy the audiovisual feast.

Half an hour later.

Su Yunzhou looked at the gray screen, his mouth twitching slightly.

"Dead again!" he groaned. "How is that possible?! Why can’t I beat it?!"

Fifteen minutes later.

Su Yunzhou put down his mouse with a face full of utter helplessness. Elder Jinchi, that big-headed monk, had killed him nine times.

He scoffed inwardly. There was definitely something wrong with the way he booted up the game! He had to keep going.

Facts proved that when God opens a window for you, He truly does slam a door shut in your face. Su Yunzhou’s gaming talent was simply abysmal. And this was even with the buff from his Kato’s Eagle Finger...

He let out a sigh. He would just have to take it slow! After all, he had all the time in the world.

RING RING.

A video call request popped up on his phone. Seeing the caller’s name, Su Yunzhou suddenly remembered their plans.

"Zhou! What are you doing?" Lilia’s exquisite features appeared on the screen, bearing a soft smile and a gentle voice.

"I’m resting and building up my stamina!" Su Yunzhou replied with a double entendre.

Lilia asked, "Zhou, last time you mentioned you lived near the city center. Today, I moved to a hotel in this place called Taikoo Li. Is it far from you?"

"Uh..." Su Yunzhou’s expression turned a bit strange. He wondered if it could really be such a coincidence. "I’m quite familiar with that area. Which hotel are you at?"

"The Crown Hotel!" Lilia said faintly.

Su Yunzhou inexplicably let out a sigh of relief. This hotel was located in a completely different direction within Taikoo Li. It was neither too far nor too close—about a fifteen-minute walk.

The two chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up.

Su Yunzhou changed his clothes and prepared to head out. Since he had promised to show his foreign friend around, he had to keep his word. Besides, living so close made things very convenient.

Because he had been in the limelight recently, Su Yunzhou decided to put on somewhat of a disguise. Wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, he instantly looked even more handsome. Before leaving the house, he also put on a face mask; since many people still wore masks nowadays, it wouldn’t seem out of place.

They had agreed to meet at the subway station entrance. Su Yunzhou had initially offered to drive, but Lilia politely declined, stating that the best way to explore a city was to take public transportation.

A few minutes later.

"Oh?"

Su Yunzhou looked at Lilia in the distance, who resembled a supermodel, and revealed a hint of amazement. Lilia was wearing a light blue shirt dress of excellent texture. Her figure was phenomenal—nearly perfect. With her full bust, slender waist, perky hips, and long, straight legs, all paired with a breathtakingly beautiful face... A foreign beauty like her would be the center of attention wherever she went. As she stood by the subway entrance, not a single man walking by could resist sneaking a few extra glances.

Lilia recognized him and walked over, blinking her beautiful sapphire-like eyes. "Zhou! What’s with the outfit?"

Su Yunzhou explained his disguise briefly before changing the subject. "Didn’t you say earlier that you wanted to go to Kuanzhai Alley? Taking the subway from here only takes about ten minutes. Let’s go!"

"Mm! Okay!" Lilia nodded.

The two walked shoulder-to-shoulder into the subway station. After buying their tickets and passing through security, they headed down to the platform.

This particular station was located in a bustling commercial district, so there were many people waiting for the train. They had to wait in a long line just to get on. Su Yunzhou felt somewhat helpless, but Lilia looked fascinated. She even shared that she had once taken the subway while visiting Little Life, and that was true overcrowding—there were even staff members outside specifically tasked with pushing people into the train cars.

Su Yunzhou nodded, his mind naturally drifting to certain subway-themed adult movies.

A moment later.

The subway train pulled into the station. The two of them followed the crowd inside. Because there were so many people, there were no empty seats, leaving them no choice but to stand near the side. Just as the subway doors were closing, two young men rushed in.

The already cramped space instantly became a shoulder-to-shoulder squeeze. Su Yunzhou held onto a hand strap, catching the scent of a pleasant perfume. Lilia leaned forward, pressing right against his sturdy chest. The soft and fiery sensation sent ripples through Su Yunzhou’s heart.

"Sorry! Sorry!" Lilia apologized.

"It’s fine," Su Yunzhou said.

He gentlemanly tried to step back, but he was already up against the wall, with nowhere left to retreat. What should he do? It turned out that art truly did imitate life. But he had never watched a Western version of a subway movie before!
