Chapter 046: Reward

In the end, Wang Bo compromised.

The crossing had become a foregone conclusion, and there was nothing he could do about it—after all, the choice had never been in his hands from the very beginning.

However, Wang Bo did not immediately travel through time; instead, he chose to stay for a day.

He sent someone to invite Evelyn and Jonathan, then instructed the chef to prepare a table of fine dishes for noon, as he was going to entertain guests.

At noon, Evelyn and Jonathan arrived at Wang Bo's manor.

Wang Bo warmly entertained the two of them, and during that time, the pair even asked about Laura.

Wang Bo told the two that Laura had encountered some urgent matter, so she had gone home first.

This made both of them regret that they had not had time to say goodbye to Laura.

After lunch, the three of them sat together drinking tea, and it was only then that Wang Bo brought up the excuse he had prepared. "Actually, the reason I asked you two to come today is that I hope you can help me with a small favor."

Jonathan patted his chest and said, "What favor? Tell us. As long as it's within our power, we won't refuse."

Evelyn wholeheartedly agreed with what her brother said.

Wang Bo said, "Actually, something has come up at home, and I may need to return to my country soon. So while I'm away, I hope you two can keep an eye on this estate for me."

Jonathan was taken aback.

Evelyn asked, "What happened in your family? Do you need our help?"

"No need, it's not a big deal. I can handle it myself." Wang Bo shook his head, declining Evelyn's kindness. "I'm just worried that after I leave, the estate might fall into disrepair. I hope you two can keep an eye on it."

"Of course, of course, no problem at all." Jonathan, as if injected with adrenaline, patted his chest and said, "Leave this to me."

After Wang Bo left, he could move in here openly and then find some socialites and noble ladies to come here... At the thought of the exciting parts, Jonathan couldn't help but laugh.

Wang Bo saw Jonathan's lecherous expression and couldn't help shaking his head.

"Evelyn, come with me for a moment."

After that, he called Evelyn into the study and, in front of her, pushed a heavy bookshelf several meters away, revealing a wall behind it.

Wang Bo gently groped along the wall a few times and pressed a protruding button.

With a click, part of the wall sank inward, revealing a handle.

Wang Bo pulled the handle, opened the wall, and revealed a safe inside. When he opened it, the safe contained a large amount of cash.

Wang Bo took out the modern money, lifted the bottom of the safe, and lying inside was... the Book of the Dead!

"Evelyn, after I leave, I'll entrust the Book of the Dead to you for safekeeping. Since you are the guardian of the dead, if Imhotep is resurrected, go find the Book of the Sun. It contains a spell that can counter Imhotep."

Evelyn did not stand on ceremony; she nodded.

"All right, I'll keep the Book of the Dead safe for you. But when do you plan to leave?"

“Tonight,” Wang Bo gave a time, then said, “By the way, you don’t need to see me off. I don’t really like the atmosphere of parting.”

Evelyn rolled her eyes at Wang Bo, and finally agreed.

In the afternoon, after having afternoon tea at Wang Bo's estate, Evelyn and Jonathan got up and left.

Wang Bo leisurely took a bath and changed his clothes.

"Cheat, are you there?"

【Is there something you need from me, host? Are you ready to begin the next assignment?】

"I just wanted to ask, what world will I travel to next time?"

【Well, since it's random, I'm not too sure either.】

Suiji, are you sure?

【Of course, I will send you to a world where there are transmigrators, but as for what kind of world it is, I'm not too sure either, because there are too many such worlds, and I have no way to number them one by one. After all, I am very busy.】

"That's way too irresponsible. Have you ever considered that if I end up in a high-risk world, I'd be doomed?"

【So the death rate among you hosts remains high, but what can I do? There's nothing I can do about it.】

Wang Bo: ...

【By the way, host, you still have one reward. Do you want to claim it? If you happen to get something good that can revive you, then you won't have to worry about dying.】

I remember one host who got Kei Nagai's Ajin ability in the initial world—unable to die no matter what—and in the first world obtained Saitama's power from One-Punch Man: immortality plus invincibility. Simply ridiculously overpowered, even luckier than you, the legendary emperor of the lucky ones.

But you're not bad either, host. The superhuman ability plus Ripple Qigong is terrifying once you grow into it. And you met Lara Croft right at the start—pretty good luck too. Who knows, you might get a really great reward.

Wang Bo was silent for a moment, then nodded.

He admitted that he was convinced.

If he really did receive the subhuman constitution, then he truly wouldn't have to worry about kneeling.

"Alright, help me claim the reward."

【Alright, host, please wait a moment. Let me see what reward you have obtained.】

A few seconds later, a deafening sound rang through Wang Bo's mind.

【Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, host, you're amazing, you actually got this reward】

Wang Bo heard the other party shouting excitedly, and his heart couldn't help but stir. Seeing how astonished the other was, it seemed that Wang Bo had obtained some extraordinary reward.

"What reward did I get?" he couldn't help asking.

“Host, you really are an incredibly lucky person — you actually got the Four-Dimensional Pocket.”

"Fou-four... four-dimensional pocket, you mean Doraemon's four-dimensional pocket?" For a moment, Wang Bo was also startled, and his speech began to stammer.

【That's right, it's exactly the four-dimensional pocket that Doraemon has】

"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit..."

Wang Bo had no idea how to express his feelings at this moment. He knew his luck had always been good, but he never imagined it could be this extraordinary.

This is Doraemon's four-dimensional pocket, after all.

Just thinking about the incredible gadgets inside Doraemon's pocket, Wang Bo found it impossible to stay calm.

"By the way, Host, I forgot to tell you, the four-dimensional pocket you obtained is actually just a four-dimensional pocket, and there are no other items inside it."

Wang Bo: ...

Why didn't you say such an important thing earlier?

I was happy for nothing, and falling from heaven to hell all of a sudden couldn't have been worse.

After calming down, Wang Bo found the four-dimensional pocket not so bad either. Although it contained no tools, because it connected to a four-dimensional world, it could hold an infinite number of things without affecting their weight.

This one point alone would be enough to shock countless people.

And this thing appeared just in time.

After all, Wang Bo didn't know what the next world would be like. If he ended up in an ancient world, he had no idea whether he could adapt to life there—even something as basic as wiping his bottom after using the toilet would be a monumental challenge.

After all, there was no toilet paper in ancient times.

So Wang Bo planned to buy some daily necessities. Previously, he didn't have the means, so naturally he hadn't thought of it. But now that he had the means, Wang Bo certainly wouldn't let this opportunity slip.

First is the bed, followed by the mattress, quilt, bed sheet, duvet cover, bedspread, fitted sheet, pillowcase, pillow insert, pillow towel, blanket, summer mat, and mosquito net, among others.

Next are kitchen and bathroom items, including frying pans, steamers, cooking pots, iron and wooden spatulas for stir-frying, and various knives for cutting vegetables. In addition, bowls, chopsticks, plates, spoons, and forks for eating are also essential.

Then there were daily necessities, mainly including toothbrushes, toothpaste, tooth cups, towels, soap, washbasins, shampoo, body wash, bath towels, headscarves, slippers, clothes hangers, and so on.

In addition, Wang Bo also bought quite a bit of food and drinks.

Biscuits, puffed foods, jelly, nuts and seeds, chocolate, tonics, carbonated drinks, fruit juices, milk drinks, tea beverages, mineral water, fresh milk, yogurt, bacon, meat products, bread, bulk foods, ice cream, popsicles…

One buys whatever comes to mind.

Anyway, he's rich now.

More importantly, even if there were ten times as many of these things, the fourth-dimensional pocket could still hold them.

After a bout of crazy shopping, he bought everything available on the market.

Wang Bo was just beginning his second mission.
