Zhou Qing searched for the novel "Golden Eyes" on a reading app. When he saw the word count, he immediately raised his eyebrows: "Wow, over four million words!"

Fortunately, based on my previous experience of reading online novels such as "Back to the Ming Dynasty to Become a Prince", online novels have strong storylines and aim to make readers enjoy reading them. Therefore, they contain a lot of dialogues and routine jokes such as pretending to be cool and then getting slapped in the face. Relatively speaking, they do not pay much attention to literary style and elegance.

Such novels are fascinating because of the plot, making it easier and more enjoyable for readers to read.

Naturally, the speed of reading is faster than traditional popular novels and literary works.

Even much faster.

From a purely entertainment perspective, Zhou Qing personally prefers reading online novels.

He has been enjoying watching "Back to the Ming Dynasty as a Prince" these days.

I lie on the bed and watch it on my phone. When I get hungry, I order takeout and continue watching after eating.

When I feel sleepy, I throw my phone away and fall asleep, then continue watching when I wake up.

Three million and six hundred thousand words, I finished reading it without realizing it. It felt like not much time had passed, but when I looked at the time, five days had already passed!
Then I quickly changed my mind and realized it was only five days!

In the past, it would take me half a day to read a novella of tens of thousands of words.

Moreover, staying alone in a quiet room like this, from morning to night, following the protagonist's perspective wholeheartedly, in just five days, it was as if I had experienced decades of wonderful and refreshing life in another world... Although it may be a bit "YY", this feeling is really, really great!
"Zhuang Rui, a clerk working at a pawn shop, suffers a strange eye change after an accident. Gorgeous ceramics, ancient and elegant bronzes, and thrilling gambling stones come one after another..."

When Zhou Qing saw the introduction, he immediately became more expectant.

Obviously, there must be a lot of high-value real-life items in this novel!
He couldn't wait to click in and start reading.

"Chapter One: Unexpected Misfortune."

"In December, the nights are long and the days are short in Zhonghai City. Just after six o'clock, the sky outside slowly darkened..."

Time flies when you are immersed in the world of novels.

And when you immerse yourself in the world of cool novels, time passes faster than in the world of other novels.

The saying "happiness is short-lived" is also true of human feelings. When you experience pain, you will feel that "the days are long", and when you experience happiness, "time flies like an arrow".

No one disturbed Zhou Qing these days, and it seemed as if not much time had passed. He just ate a few meals and slept a few times, and he had almost finished reading this novel of more than four million words.

"Chapter 1002, Gold Mine."

"The total is over 800 million US dollars. In addition, Duva also bought a small island in the Caribbean Sea, and the relevant infrastructure has been completed."

……

On the evening of the fifth day, Zhou Qing was sighing and envying the protagonist "Zhuang Rui" who found collecting wealth as easy as drinking water in the later stages of his life when his high school classmate Peng Xiaomei sent him three WeChat messages in a row.

"Zhou Qing, Zhou Qing, call, call!"

"Want to hear some fresh gossip? (squinting) (raising eyebrows)"

"It's related to our high school class! Keyword hint: school beauty!!!"

Since they added each other on WeChat the last time they met in the county, Peng Xiaomei would send him WeChat messages to chat whenever she had time.

At first, Zhou Qingzhen wondered if she had any such feelings for him, but then he realized she wasn't—at least not completely. She was simply bored, running a small supermarket in her hometown, completely bored. With no acquaintances her own age, she spent her days at the store watching TV dramas and chatting with old friends and classmates on WeChat to pass the time.

The novel was already nearing its end, and Zhou Qing hadn't planned to reply immediately. He planned to finish the last 200 chapters and then come back to her for more. But when he saw the words "school beauty," Teacher Bai's stunning face suddenly popped up in his mind. He wondered if word of Teacher Bai's divorce had spread.
I immediately switched WeChat to full screen, opened the input method, and typed, "What gossip?"

Peng Xiaomei didn't keep him in suspense. Upon hearing his question, she immediately said, "Do you remember Zhou Ying? The school beauty from our class, tall and incredibly beautiful, who later got into Communication University of China... and she's actually dating our Wang Haiyang!!"

Zhou Ying?

Zhou Qing was stunned. She remembered this girl. She was from the class next door. Because she was pretty, she was very popular with boys. She remembered that Wang Haiyang in the class was the one who pursued her most aggressively.

But...school beauty?
He couldn't help but shake his head slightly. Compared with Teacher Bai, she was not a school beauty at all.

Of course, if "teachers" are excluded from the evaluation, that’s another matter.

She typed back, "I remember Wang Haiyang was pursuing her back then, but she never seemed to respond. How come they're together now?"

Peng Xiaomei: "Yes, not only are we together, but we're getting married next month and will hold the wedding in our hometown."

Zhou Qing: "I never thought that after so many years, Wang Haiyang finally won the heart of the beauty with his perseverance."

Peng Xiaomei: "(ˉ▽￣～) Tsk~~, it's not about perseverance, I think she's grown up, seen the outside world, and understands the importance of money... Oh, by the way, many people in the class may not know that Wang Haiyang's family is very rich. His father was a contract contractor twenty years ago, and later he opened a steel mill or something. I heard he's worth billions now!"

Billions?
Zhou Qing knew that there were many wealthy people in his hometown county, and Shao Shang was also somewhat famous in Nanhu Province.

However, I never thought that there was such a "big Buddha" hidden in my high school class.

Apart from being a little surprised, he didn't have any other emotions about this - with a reading panel, he had the confidence to face anyone with a normal heart.

"Maybe it's true love for them? But in today's society, everyone really cares about 'money'. As long as it's not illegal and it's consensual, no one can interfere."

"Yeah, if I had money, I'd marry a handsome guy to support the family, cook for me, warm my bed, and have kids with me, hehe... (shy)"

……

After chatting with Peng Xiaomei for a while, Zhou Qing found an excuse to end the conversation.

I flipped through Teacher Bai's WeChat and sent him a message: "Are you guys going to start your holiday tomorrow too?"

High school students start their summer vacation early, so teachers usually come much later.

Teacher Bai used to be slow to reply, but ever since Zhou Qing went back to accompany her through the divorce procedures, she's become much faster. This time, she even replied within seconds: "Yes."

Soon the first message came: "But I have to go back to Gusu first to take care of some things."

Just like the past two weeks, the two chatted for a while and then went back to their own business.

Zhou Qing continued reading the novel.

The last two hundred chapters totaled over four hundred thousand words, and he worked on it from dusk until three in the morning of the next day, finally finishing the entire book in one go!

"call."

He stood up and rubbed his temples.

At the same time, call out the panel, touch it directly with your mind, and select "only extract, not take".

The next moment, there was one more thing in the "extractable items". Zhou Qing was stunned after "seeing" it, and couldn't help but confirm it again and again.

"Oh my god, my luck is really going to explode this time!"

　I didn’t pass the second round of recommendations. I didn’t know what to say for a moment.

　　There will be another update later. Please help me, please read, please vote for the monthly ticket, please reward, please recommend, please give good reviews, and please support me in various ways!
