Chapter 633: Chapter 256 Xia Xiwei (Added for the Overlord ‘Absolute￠Carefree’)
Ding!
[Host opened the Golden Magic Ball and received a temporary item “Timmo’s Intelligence Blind Box” (expires after 24 hours)]
[Timmo’s Intelligence Blind Box – once opened, randomly receives three pieces of real-time intelligence, refreshing one piece of intelligence daily, covering an area of 200 square kilometers]
[Let me scout ahead]
…
Zhou Wang looked at the item; it seemed familiar, so he took a peek in the system’s Mysterious Store.
Hmm, among the system’s various items, this one was relatively expensive. The permanent version required eight million Reputation Value points…
After the Night of Wuyou, Zhou Wang’s Reputation Value once broke through 200,000 points, but after purchasing [Plank’s Business Plan], it nearly cleared out again.
However, during this time, because of the continued buzz from the Night of Wuyou and Zhou Wang starting to run his own personal account, his Reputation Value was skyrocketing at an alarming rate.
[Reputation Value: 412,523 (rising star)]
And basically every day, it was increasing by ten or twenty thousand points.
An interesting detail was, after acquiring the Lishui Yunquan Hotel, Zhou Wang’s Reputation Value increased by 50,000 points at once, and when he founded the Wangzhou Travel Department company, he gained another 20,000 points of Reputation Value, showing that the growth in ventures could also bring a considerable amount of Reputation Value.
But at this pace, Zhou Wang would need at least another year to afford those advanced, over-the-top items.
“Golden Magic Ball” was already a rare reward; Zhou Wang had only seen it three times so far, so he reckoned that this [Timmo’s Intelligence Blind Box] was quite valuable.
After all, the current Golden Magic Ball only offered a “temporary version” that would expire 24 hours after opening, meaning it had no refreshing feature and could only provide Zhou Wang with three initial pieces of intelligence…
Yet even so, within the system’s ratings, it could still match the reward strength of a “Golden Magic Ball,” so Zhou Wang was quite looking forward to it.
…
“By the way, Brother Dog, do you follow celebrities?”
Next to him came Ruan Jingwei’s inquiry, pulling Zhou Wang’s mind back to reality.
They were currently on the second floor of the restaurant, but besides their table and a separate table for Miao Ying, Yun Rou, and Yun Lan sisters, there were no other patrons.
In this regard, Ma Yuan had planned pretty well, directly booking the second floor of the restaurant to ensure the most comfortable dining environment.
Ma Yuan had gone to pick someone up, leaving just Zhou Wang and Ruan Jingwei at the table.
Hearing Ruan Jingwei’s question, Zhou Wang thought for a moment and replied, “There are some artists I appreciate, but it’s mostly because of the works themselves; I don’t really have an attachment to celebrities personally…”
“I’m almost the same, but I haven’t thought it through as clearly as you have, Brother Dog.”
Ruan Jingwei laughed and said, “Back in school, I had favorite celebrities, but after taking over the family business and meeting more of these so-called stars, I realized they’re just ordinary people with ugly sides, too, and then I became numb…”
“I almost forgot, the local cultural and tourism events in Yunnan Province love to invite celebrities to show up, but damn it, the ‘secrecy work’ is always too good. I often find out on short videos who showed up.”
Zhou Wang slapped his forehead, and in realization, couldn’t help but complain.
“Hahaha, actually, you can’t blame the local departments. Mainly, we Yunnan folks aren’t that into celebrity chasing. We just like to watch the fun…”
“By the way, Brother Wei, which celebrities have you met in close quarters?”
Zhou Wang curiously asked.
After all, he had only recently become part of the “capital,” so given time, the so-called “entertainment circle” shouldn’t remain mysterious to him, but for now, aside from those encountered at the Night of Wuyou, celebrities still held a certain mystique for Zhou Wang.
And the ones signed with Wuyou Media, objectively speaking, were indeed past their prime, not on the same level as the trending stars.
“There are plenty, some from the 80s and 90s, like Hong Kong Island’s King Liu. His work ethic is impeccable, and he’s very nice… and some of the new generation ones, like Liu Haocun and the like, though generally not easy to get along with…”
Ruan Jingwei shared some gossip from his experiences, which Zhou Wang listened to with great interest. Finally, he asked:
“And what about Xia Xiwei? Have you met her before?”
“I haven’t, but I’ve seen some videos of her. Such a pretty face with a great figure is rare among female stars, so it’s no wonder she’s become popular in recent years… hahaha, Brother Dog, President Ma said she’s coming specifically for you, isn’t that an easy win?”
For Ruan Jingwei’s playful banter, Zhou Wang just shook his head with a smile, though he was also puzzled why she would tell Ma Yuan she was here to meet him…
Just now, Zhou Wang did a quick search; in the latest poll of popular young actresses, Xia Xiwei was one of the “95’s New Four Beauties,” along with Zhang Ziyi, Meng Ruonan, and Zhou Ye, who many praised for her divine looks.
Among them, Xia Xiwei ranked first.
Interestingly, from Zhou Wang’s search results, Xia Xiwei had almost no rumors or scandals, which considering her popularity, was quite surprising to Zhou Wang.
After all, even with his current modest following of just over ninety thousand, there were already quite a few so-called “scandals” circulating online. It’s just that they had little effect, so Zhou Wang didn’t bother paying attention.
At this time, laughter and footsteps came from the entrance of the stairs, and when Zhou Wang looked up, he saw Ma Yuan coming up with a tall girl wearing a baseball cap and a mask.
