He was triggered by the keywords “blank” and “lottery.”
After calming down a bit, Zhou Wang checked the detailed information.
[Rui Zi’s Blank Lottery: After filling in the corresponding numbers in the blank spaces, this will automatically become a lottery ticket purchased before the draw time.]
[A wizard named Rui Zi, who wandered through countless worlds, once passed by Earth unintentionally. To solve his material predicament, he used the mysterious power of runes to create this lottery ticket. However, Rui Zi ultimately could not abandon his moral principles and chose to join the honorable group of “workers.” He fled Earth a month later, and this lottery ticket was discarded.]
[Let’s play rock-paper-scissors… but this time, it’s your turn to play first!]
After reading the system’s description of the item, Zhou Wang found himself both amused and helpless.
...
What the heck is this?
Brother Rui Zi, you really are an honest guy!
But since you left this lottery ticket, I’ll shamelessly accept it.
Zhou Wang examined it carefully again. Although it was a lottery ticket guaranteed to win the first prize, it was not without limitations.
This was an “additional Super Lottery” ticket, with the purchase amount already set at 3 yuan.
This meant Zhou Wang could only win a first prize once.
Sigh, Brother Rui Zi still wasn’t greedy enough…
At least put a 99 times multiplier on it, right?
But at least he knew to add a little extra for more winnings.
Currently, he only had 3 million yuan available in his bank account. With spending continuously increasing, even a daily minimum of 100,000 yuan felt somewhat insufficient.
This lottery ticket was truly a timely rain…
Zhou Wang checked on his phone, and it just so happened that the lottery was drawn yesterday. The basic prize for the first prize was 9.17 million yuan, and with the additional prize, the maximum prize for a single ticket was 16.27 million yuan.
Zhou Wang hadn’t really bought lotteries before, so he read up on the news in detail.
When he saw that the capped prize for a single additional first prize was 18 million yuan, Zhou Wang didn’t hesitate to grab the blank lottery ticket, head to his study to get a pen, and started filling it out.
Theoretically, he could wait a bit longer, until the prize pool was at its peak, to use this lottery ticket.
However, the difference between 16 million and 18 million yuan wasn’t that significant, and Zhou Wang was too lazy to wait…
The sooner he used it, the sooner he’d be happy!
He copied yesterday’s winning numbers.
“07, 09, 12, 24, 28…”
(Parallel universe, everyone, please don’t randomly buy tickets at that time.)
After filling in the seven numbers, a magical scene occurred.
Under Zhou Wang’s observation, the handwritten numbers twisted and transformed into machine-printed numbers identical to a normal lottery ticket.
Simultaneously, the previously blank date and time also appeared, indicating the ticket was purchased by Zhou Wang on the afternoon of July 17, and even the detailed address of the lottery shop was included.
Zhou Wang glanced at it, and to his surprise, the location was in a rather remote town under Ming City.
Once again, Zhou Wang marveled… New bee!
For the first time in his life, the old man bought a lottery ticket and won the first prize. Who else can match this?
This also solved another hassle for Zhou Wang.
At least when faced with his parents and people close to him who knew his background, he didn’t need to go through the trouble of explaining.
As for later, when the assets he displayed exceeded the amount that could be won from a lottery, it would be easy to explain…
I already have over 10 million as seed money. How hard could it be to become a billionaire?
As for how the development occurs?
Sorry, commercial secret, can’t disclose it.
…
That night, Zhou Wang didn’t exhaust the sleeping Su Yajing again but held her and slept quietly.
The next morning at eight, Zhou Wang got up first. After leaving a message on his phone for Su Yajing, he went to the hotel’s gym, and wore the “Blindfold” while running on the treadmill for over half an hour.
During the run, Zhou Wang kept pondering how to maximize the utility of this tool.
He had discovered that the “Blindfold” actually had two layers of effects.
Besides the obvious 10-fold workout effect, the “Blindfold” could also quickly help him master a certain sport skill.
Zhou Wang certainly wasn’t interested in becoming an athlete, and playing basketball was now something he only indulged in at night—
Zhou Wang was inclined toward learning some self-defense skills.
For example, the swimming he chose yesterday was a relatively practical survival skill.
Afterward, he could practice rock climbing or skiing, and then, it would be combat-type skills.
However, there were many options in this category, and Zhou Wang was most inclined toward National Martial Arts. Unfortunately, just from watching short videos, the performances of those practicing National Martial Arts left him disappointed.
But there was no rush, he could think about it some more.

After running for a while, Zhou Wang changed clothes in the locker room and went to the parking lot with his car keys.
He started the Ferrari 812C, navigated to the “Lottery Management Hall,” and decided to cash in the lottery before picking up the house.
Arriving at the lottery center, everything went smoothly, and the staff worked efficiently. After filling in the information and verifying the lottery ticket, he chose a Monkey King mask to take a photo, did a simple interview, and moments later, Zhou Wang received a SMS notification of the prize being credited to his account.
“CMB: Your account ending in 1111 was credited 12,815,657 yuan on July 19 at 10:19.”
The winning amount was 16.27 million, about 3.26 million was deducted for income tax, and he also donated 200,000 for charity, leaving this much in his account.
Adding the over 3 million yuan Zhou Wang originally had, he now had over 16 million in cash, making him a verified millionaire, not counting fixed assets.
Talking with the staff, Zhou Wang learned something interesting.
When a ticket from his lottery shop won, the shop owner also got a share; for an amount like the first prize, the shop owner could get two or three hundred thousand.
Only then did Zhou Wang understand why a big banner would be hung up in a lottery shop after someone won. Besides the promotion, the shop owner was probably ecstatic.
Zhou Wang was a bit curious, though. The owner of the shop where his ticket was issued might be a bit dumbfounded…
After all, Zhou Wang hadn’t actually gone to buy a lottery ticket.
Once everything was settled, Zhou Wang took a picture of his winning lottery ticket for future reference.
Leaving the lottery center, Zhou Wang drove his Ferrari toward “Spring Eye” in the Ming City Center.
…
Listening to Bluetooth music, humming a tune with ill-timed but self-satisfying vocals, Zhou Wang parked his Ferrari in the underground parking lot of the “Spring Eye” commercial center after twenty minutes.
He traveled along the escalator to the first floor. Zhou Wang didn’t hurry outside but took a walk around the mall first.
After all, this would soon be his neighborhood, so familiarizing with the surroundings was necessary.
As the tallest new building in Ming City and a new city landmark, all the brands in the mall were top-tier international ones, surpassing even Henglong Square in class. For instance, there was a Hermes store here which Henglong Square didn’t have.
There were also high-end chain supermarkets like City’super and luxurious hotel brands like the Ritz-Carlton…
In short, Zhou Wang took a look around and could already foresee that this would become the biggest money pit in Ming City.
Although the brands were all high-end, there were actually a lot of people in the mall. Zhou Wang couldn’t tell if it was because of the opening or if he underestimated the number of wealthy people in Huaxia…
After a round of window shopping, Zhou Wang followed the crowd and the faint music to the outdoor plaza.
A large stage was set up here, and the “Yalong Real Estate” logo was conspicuous in the sunlight.
Numerous posters were posted around, including those of “Hua Suisui” and other internet celebrities. Some of them Zhou Wang didn’t recognize, but according to the promotion, all had fan bases exceeding a few million, along with a couple of lesser-known movie stars.
It seemed for this grand opening, Yalong Real Estate did spend significantly.
Looking around, Zhou Wang noticed there really were many spectators. Many of them held different support banners, crowding the area.
“Wow!”
“Suisui, I love you!”
At that moment, there was a noisy commotion, and some guys shouted excitedly.
Zhou Wang looked up and got quite the coincidence: Hua Suisui was just coming on stage.
Dressed in a black spaghetti strap poofy dress, her long hair styled in loose waves, she revealed her fair collarbone and a hint of cleavage. Whether she applied something or not, her skin shimmered with a faint “Bling-Bling” luster, quite eye-catching.
Zhou Wang didn’t bother squeezing into the crowd. He just listened from afar as Hua Suisui sang a song… Hmm, it wasn’t half bad.
When Hua Suisui started interacting with fans, Zhou Wang pulled out his phone and called Sun Yi.
“Mr. Zhou, have you arrived? Please hold on a moment!”
Sun Yi’s side was quite noisy. After confirming Zhou Wang’s location, she hung up quickly.
Zhou Wang waited for a moment, and Sun Yi came jogging over from the crowd.
“Mr. Zhou!”
Seeing Zhou Wang, Sun Yi, dressed in a professional suit, seemed very happy, a smile spreading across her sweat-stained face.
“Do you want to watch the performance? It’s probably too late to squeeze in now. I can take you through the staff passage instead…”
“I’m not interested in watching. When will this event wrap up?”
Zhou Wang shook his head and asked.
“It’s the third-to-last performance now. There’s also a lottery draw afterward, so it won’t be long.”
Sun Yi hesitated but still replied.
“Then let’s just wait here. Once the event finishes, I might need you to accompany me somewhere. Is that okay?”
Realizing that Zhou Wang had another purpose, a fleeting look of hesitation crossed Sun Yi’s face before she quickly smiled and nodded, “Of course, that’s fine!”
As they engaged in casual conversation, Sun Yi suddenly remembered something and asked Zhou Wang, “By the way, Mr. Zhou, has Qianqian contacted you recently?”
“Xu Wenqian?”
Zhou Wang was taken aback, “I saw her yesterday morning… that’s all. Why do you ask?”
“She called me last night, and I felt like her state wasn’t right. Her questions were quite strange, but she wouldn’t tell me what was going on, so I’m a bit worried…”
“What did she ask you?”
Zhou Wang recalled how Xu Wenqian seemed like her soul was ripped away when she left yesterday, so he asked with curiosity.
“Uh, it’s just…”
“If it’s inconvenient, you don’t have to say it.” Zhou Wang waved his hand.
Sun Yi hesitated for a while, but thinking about it, she shared some intimacy with Zhou Wang, so withholding seemed unnecessary. Leaning closer, she whispered,
“Qianqian asked me if not being flirty makes a woman unlikable to men…”
