The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

```

Creak!

The door of the fitting room swung open, and Zhou Wang emerged in brand-new clothes. Ranran's eyes immediately lit up as she waited outside.

Even she couldn't help but admire her own taste at that moment.

Considering that Zhou Wang's looks were already striking enough, overly flashy clothes would overshadow his natural handsomeness. So Ranran chose a simple, minimalist style when picking out his outfit.

A light-colored denim jacket paired with pants of the same color scheme, white sneakers, and a vintage silver brass necklace; the outfit maintained a youthful charm while highlighting Zhou Wang's somewhat roguishly handsome demeanor.

If Ranran were to score this look, it would definitely be a ten!

Zhou Wang initially wanted to ask for Ranran's opinion. But after glancing at her lovestruck expression, he figured it was unnecessary and turned to the mirror to inspect his reflection.

"It should be fine," he thought.

Zhou Wang checked himself out from different angles, feeling quite satisfied internally.

He knew he couldn't do better even if he tried to style himself. So he decisively called out to Ranran, "Let's go!"

Ranran was still processing when Zhou Wang waved over the sales assistant, who had been bustling around and was now standing with folded hands, waiting.

"I'll take everything I'm wearing. Where do I pay... Oh, and you can discard my old clothes, can't you?"

The T-shirt he had been wearing was nearly faded beyond recognition, and his shoes were frayed to the point of embarrassment, not even suitable for donating to those in need.

Zhou Wang chuckled at himself as he changed earlier. No wonder Ranran had been more anxious than he was upon entering the store; his appearance indeed screamed "can't afford Balenciaga."

"Of course, no problem, this way please!"

It wasn't until Zhou Wang saw the sales assistant's beaming smile again that he realized what genuine enthusiasm looked like.

But it was only natural; nothing strange about it.

Buying for real?

Ranran blinked her eyes and followed all the way to the cash register, watching as Zhou Wang promptly pulled out his phone to complete the payment...

Only for the first attempt to fail.

Zhou Wang checked the prompt on WeChat and found out that the daily transaction limit for WeChat Pay was 80,000 RMB. After buying a phone, he was just over the limit with this new purchase.

Tsk, when had he ever had the chance to know about such things?

Zhou Wang chuckled and shook his head. Fortunately, he had brought his bank card, allowing him to complete the transaction with a POS machine, avoiding any awkwardness.

Once Zhou Wang finished swiping his card, Ranran finally felt a sense of relief.

She couldn't help but glance at Zhou Wang's profile, her breath quickening as a flush crept onto her pale cheeks... Ah, being both handsome and rich was just unfair!

Zhou Wang just felt a wave of warmth from nearby, which was rather odd in the air-conditioned store. But he wasn't in the mood to investigate; he was awaiting feedback from the system.

The final bill totaled 72,750 RMB with the jacket for 25,500, pants for 18,300, T-shirt for 6,300, shoes for 9,900, necklace for 4,700, sunglasses chosen to boost his score for 4,250, and two pairs of boxer briefs for 3,800, all of which Zhou Wang bought impulsively.

Along with the twice reimbursement for the Apple phone, Zhou Wang had just enough over 80,000 in hand, making this purchase a full commitment.

Fortunately, the total cost of the clothes Ranran picked out matched perfectly; otherwise, Zhou Wang would've had to split the payment in two, unnecessarily wasting one "Azure Dragon Saber" refund opportunity.

"Let's hope this strike hits it big!"

Zhou Wang wasn't too worried about the system's score. After all, there was still time in the round. If this outfit didn't work, he could always change it. But the multiplier from the "Azure Dragon Saber" refund was crucial; it could determine his future fortunes.

Ding!

As Zhou Wang waited anxiously, the system notification finally chimed in.

[Host's attire change detected, evaluating system score...]

[System evaluation complete, current "outfit" impression score: 92]

[Congratulations to the host for receiving a 92% reimbursement, credited to your account, please check.]

Ding!

[Consumption detected, "Cui Si's Azure Dragon Saber" special effect triggered, receiving 4x expenditure refund]

"CMB: Your account ending in 1024 received 66,930 RMB on July 01 at 12:39 PM."

"CMB: Your account ending in 1024 received 291,000 RMB on July 01 at 12:39 PM."

"CMB: Mr. Zhou, an exclusive gift is approaching, don't let your current balance idle, click to view your exclusive financial..."

Zhou Wang was holding his phone when, after the system notification, a flurry of messages popped up with a continuous "ding-dong, ding-dong" sound.

Four times!

Zhou Wang glanced at the credited amount in the message and confirmed he hadn't misheard.

Whoa, it was really this generous?

A windfall near 300,000 RMB!

Zhou Wang was thrilled, only snapping back to reality when the staff asked him for his phone number and points.

Becoming a member at Balenciaga was as simple as making a purchase, but being a member held little significance.

To become a VIC, which required annual spending of over 500,000 RMB, brought benefits like priority access to limited editions, a 70% discount on some internal purchases, and participation in exclusive VIC events like "high fashion preview sales," essentially an exclusive store event.

(VIC, the abbreviation for "Very Important Client," means "a very important customer.")

It's worth noting that these exclusive closed-store events in luxury brands often only provide harder-to-buy ready-to-wear. True "high fashion" is on another level.

Although Zhou Wang didn't become a VIC overnight, after the staff enthusiastically added him on WeChat, he did receive several gifts.

There was a transparent portable cup, three lip balms, and a chunky item that looked like a combination lock.

"What on earth is this?"

Zhou Wang inspected it curiously, thoroughly perplexed, and asked.

"Looks like a ski lock!"

As they exited the store, Ranran quickly recognized it, saying, "I think it's a gift with any purchase from the ski series, and that store assistant must have given you all the gifts she could."

Ranran's eyes gleamed with envy.

Clearly, given Zhou Wang's age and displayed spending capability, he wasn't yet a VIC but was enjoying treatment far beyond that of a regular member.

Ski lock?

Zhou Wang thought it was amusing; what would he do with this? Even if he ever did go skiing someday, he wouldn't bother to bring this along!

"These are all things I can't use, care to take them?"

Zhou Wang casually inquired.

"Huh?" Ranran was taken aback, instinctively wanting to decline, "Isn't that a bit much?"

"Take them, I find carrying the bag troublesome," Zhou Wang said, noticing the clear interest in Ranran's eyes, and handed it over. "I'm quite pleased with this outfit, consider it a gift."

"It's perfect timing; I was just planning to buy lip balm for summer. Brother, you're so thoughtful. I won't hold back then, thank you!"

Ranran smiled sweetly, accepting the gift bag, Zhou Wang's image in her mind growing even larger.

It wasn't because Zhou Wang gave her something, but due to his indifferent attitude towards these luxury store gifts.

She had seen many flaunting such items on social media, gaining likes and admiration galore. After all, these gifts were indeed symbols of spending power.

Despite being gifts, they were listed with a clear price on luxury brand websites.

Ranran knew that just this transparent portable cup was priced at 1,900 RMB. She wasn't aware of the prices of the lip balm and ski lock, but they surely added up to a few thousand RMB.

This had nothing to do with the quality of the items, just the branding and there were always buyers, even for second-hand ones!

Though prices reached absurd heights, the good thing about luxury brands was... never scamming the poor.

Seeing Zhou Wang's disinterest in such gifts, this was the true demeanor of the wealthy, wasn't it?

Zhou Wang checked, noting that the round still had more than two hours remaining and he had three more chances to use the "Azure Dragon Saber," meaning he could freely buy three more sets of clothes, though time was running short.

"Let's hurry, we need to visit more stores, your mission is critical."

Zhou Wang urged.

"Don't worry, Brother, leave it all to me!"

Ranran, having received the gift, was invigorated, even taking Zhou Wang's arm proactively.

Although the weather was warm, Ranran's Chanel blouse was light and thin. As they walked, Zhou Wang couldn't help but notice an occasional soft brushing sensation... ahem, such a decent man, Zhou Wang was referring to the fabric, of course.
