Chapter 003: The Millionaire

It is now 1992.

One hundred Hong Kong dollars could be exchanged for over seventy yuan.

But one hundred US dollars could be exchanged for over five hundred RMB.

Converted, one hundred US dollars can be exchanged for nearly seven to eight hundred Hong Kong dollars, so over thirty million US dollars is worth several hundred million Hong Kong dollars. To be precise, Wang Bo is not a ten-millionaire but a hundred-millionaire.

With money in hand, Wang Bo's first priority was to buy a house and fulfill his dream.

Facing the sea, with spring blossoms blooming.

Fortunately, Hong Kong Island, backed by Shenzhen and surrounded by the sea on three sides, truly has no shortage of houses facing the sea—many are built with a sea view.

Wang Bo spent tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars to buy a villa in Repulse Bay.

Repulse Bay lies on the southern side of Victoria Peak on Hong Kong Island, nestled between mountains and sea. Crescent-shaped, it is acclaimed as the "Number One Bay in the World" and the "Hawaii of the East," making it the most iconic bay on Hong Kong Island.

Those who buy houses here are either rich or noble.

Basically, all of them were Hong Kong tycoons—shipping magnates, the richest of the rich—who owned properties here.

People like Wang Bo, who are nouveau riche, are looked down upon and deemed unworthy of association.

Wang Bo had been living in this place for over two weeks, and no one had ever come to visit him. Even when he encountered some tycoons on the road, they merely nodded at him, maintaining a superficial friendliness.

Inwardly, they still looked down on Wang Bo.

Wang Bo had seen contempt in the eyes of these people more than once.

The older generation was fine, after all, they had weathered many storms and were well-versed in the ways of the world. Even if they were not fond of Wang Bo in their hearts, they would not rashly make an enemy of him, and their superficial courtesy was impeccable.

But those young people acted differently; after learning that Wang Bo used to drive a taxi, they basically looked down their noses at him.

Although they did not openly mock Wang Bo, the sense of superiority was obvious to everyone.

Of course, flaunting their superiority was their own business. As long as they didn't provoke Wang Bo, Wang Bo wouldn't bother with them. Moreover, Wang Bo had no intention of getting along with this group. They looked down on Wang Bo, and Wang Bo looked down on them too.

It was just pride, as if anyone lacked it.

Who is Wang Bo?

Although he considered himself an ordinary person who had gained power, he had seen gods, served as Batman's mentor, slept with Wu Zetian, and even fought dragons.

Compared to his experiences, what were these people?

If Wang Bo used the Copy Mirror, the wealth it replicated would be enough to literally crush all the tycoons in Repulse Bay with money.

So this group of people, Wang Bo truly looked down upon.

Wasn't the reason he bought a house in Repulse Bay precisely because the environment here was good? Living his own comfortable little life every day, it was simply too enjoyable.

And so, a month passed in the blink of an eye, and a new tranche of funds arrived.

But as for the time-traveler, Wang Bo hadn't seen even a trace of one.

However, Wang Bo was not anxious, after all, he didn't even know what kind of world this was, let alone find a time traveler; perhaps when the time came, the time traveler would just pop out on his own.

Although this possibility was not high.

However, although the transmigrator had not been found, Wang Bo's strength had once again improved.

First of all, relying on his physical fitness, Wang Bo could easily lift objects weighing over three hundred tons—a strength that could effortlessly crush a person into pulp.

Second, Wang Bo's maximum speed reached Mach 7, or seven times the speed of sound, allowing him to cover over two thousand meters in one second.

Of course, for Wang Bo, who knew witchcraft, this speed was nothing.

After all, he could travel to the North or South Pole in the blink of an eye.

Then there was Wang Bo's defensive power, which had once again made considerable progress. Ordinary hand grenades could no longer threaten Wang Bo.

Even ordinary bombs could hardly break through Wang Bo's defense.

If this continues, it would be no problem for his physical body to withstand missiles, or even nuclear bombs.

As for Wang Bo's hearing and eyesight, they had also evolved to varying degrees.

As long as Wang Bo was willing, within a radius of ten thousand meters, no rustle of grass or stir of wind could escape his ears, and his eyesight could even spot a fly flying ten thousand meters away.

It was precisely because of this progress that Wang Bo awakened yet another terrifying ability of a superhuman.

Heat vision!

That's right, it's the ability to emit lasers from the eyes.

Nowadays, Wang Bo's heat vision is still very low, with a temperature of around a few hundred degrees. Although it cannot melt metals like iron, it is more than enough to kill a person.

Of course, Wang Bo would not use his heat vision to kill anyone.

Ever since becoming a wizard, Wang Bo rarely used his body to fight—after all, compared to physical combat, sorcery was far more convenient.

The only thing that made Wang Bo a little regretful was that he hadn't been a wizard for long and hadn't yet encountered a powerful enemy—someone with whom he could have a hearty battle.

However, this regret was soon cast aside by Wang Bo.

After all, he was no battle maniac; compared to fighting, he preferred an ordinary life.

Whether there is a fight or not doesn't really matter to him.

After all, he wasn't some battle maniac; he preferred ordinary life over fighting. Whether there was fighting or not didn't really matter to him.

That noon, feeling a bit bored at home, Wang Bo went alone to Repulse Bay Beach, one of the most popular beaches in Hong Kong, exuding a relaxed and leisurely atmosphere everywhere.

Crescent-shaped Repulse Bay, with its wide beach, clear water, fine sand, and calm waves, attracts many tourists and Hong Kong Island residents. Early morning is the ideal time for a stroll on the beach and sunbathing, while sunset is a good opportunity to watch the sunset and enjoy peace and tranquility.

But at noon, there were far fewer people here, after all, the blazing sun overhead was still scorching.

But for Wang Bo, the more scorching the sun, the more comfortable it was.

After all, Superman likes to bask in the sun; the closer he gets to the sun, the faster his evolution. If he could lie inside the sun for decades or centuries, he might evolve into a Golden Superman.

Unfortunately, Wang Bo still cannot get too close to the sun, otherwise he would easily be evaporated by the sun's temperature.

After all, Wang Bo's ability to absorb sunlight was still limited.

Wang Bo lay alone on the beach, basking in the sun, quietly enjoying its rays. But because it was so comfortable, he unknowingly drifted off to sleep.

He did not know how long had passed when Wang Bo suddenly heard someone pushing his body incessantly.

"Sir, sir, are you all right, sir..."

Wang Bo opened his eyes groggily and saw a woman in a bikini looking at him with a worried expression.

Behind this beauty's voice, there seemed to be another woman standing, who spoke up: "Yazi, is he suffering from heatstroke? Should I call an ambulance?"

"I'm not, I didn't!" Wang Bo quickly waved his hands and sat up abruptly.
