218: Chapter 219 Lottery - [Life Background Modifier]

In Magic City, District Mayor Zhao Wenhao had just finished arranging for strengthened plainclothes security around the hotel where Jiang Jing was staying when he received a call from his father.

"Dad?" District Mayor Zhao Wenhao was somewhat surprised; his father rarely called him this late.

"Wenhao," Old Zhao's voice sounded unusually serious, even carrying a hint of unprecedented solemnity, "Listen to me. From now on, stay in Magic City. Do not go anywhere."

"Do not attend any unnecessary gatherings, and do not mention a single word about Jiang Jing or that document to anyone!"

District Mayor Zhao Wenhao was stunned, his confusion deepening. "Dad, what happened? Is it... is there a problem with the document?" His first thought was whether Jiang Jing had been caught bragging.

"No! Quite the opposite!" Old Zhao's voice carried irrepressible excitement. "The material is real! And its importance far exceeds our highest expectations!"

"Deputy Wang just called me personally. The highest level of leadership has been alerted, and a central special task force has already been established and is on its way to the war zone!"

"Wenhao, you have... done a great service this time, you have made a major contribution to the country!"

District Mayor Zhao Wenhao felt his head go "buzz."

Especially the impact brought by terms like "Deputy Wang," "the highest level of leadership," and "central special task force" made his heart race and his blood rush!

"Re... really?! That's great!" He was so excited he almost jumped up.

"However!" Old Zhao's tone became extremely serious again. "Blessings and misfortunes are intertwined!"

"This matter has now been classified as top secret! Information lockdown is the priority now!"

"Deputy Wang has promised to send people to protect you. You must cooperate fully, and there must be absolutely no mistakes! Do you understand?!"

"Understood! Dad, I understand! I will definitely cooperate!" District Mayor Zhao Wenhao immediately assured him, knowing the stakes involved.

"Good, good child." Old Zhao's tone softened, filled with relief and pride. "You did the right thing in this matter, you did very well..."

These last words made District Mayor Zhao Wenhao's nose sting instantly.

Growing up, because of his family's special status, he was very precocious. Knowing his father held a high position, he desired his approval even more.

He had finally achieved it. Although it was because of Jiang Jing, regardless, the result was good.

The father and son chatted a few more times briefly before hanging up the phone.

District Mayor Zhao Wenhao held his phone, silently pumped his fist, then took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and continued to throw himself into his work.

He was full of energy...

Meanwhile, inside the hotel presidential suite.

Jiang Jing had no idea that a storm had been stirred up outside because of him.

He had just had a profound exchange with Nazha, and was now leaning lazily against the headboard, watching the sleeping face of the beauty beside him, feeling a bit... idle.

"Sigh, I have more money than I can spend, and the girls... er, my female confidantes are numerous too. Life has suddenly lost its goal for striving."

He sighed in a "Versailles" manner and began to ponder what else was fun to do.

Suddenly, he remembered that when his favorability with Leng Ba reached 90 and Tong Liya reached 91, the system seemed to have rewarded him with two [Small Gift Boxes], and he still had one unused lucky draw chance.

One Small Gift Box had yielded a yacht; he wondered what this Small Gift Box might yield.

"Since I'm idle anyway, let's open it and play." Jiang Jing became interested.

In view of his many "unlucky" experiences in the past, Jiang Jing felt it necessary to add a bit of ritualistic flair.

He slipped into the bathroom and took a thorough shower, and even bowed to the mirror (though he didn't know who he was bowing to).

"System, open one Small Gift Box first." He murmured in his heart.

[Ding! Small Gift Box opened successfully! Congratulations to the host for obtaining: One gulfstream g700 private jet! (Equipped with a full flight crew)]

[Relevant property documents, airworthiness certificates, and flight crew configuration lists have been stored in the system space, parked at the Magic City International Airport business hangar, ready to be called upon at any time.]

Jiang Jing blinked. gulfstream g700?

It seemed to be the latest top-tier private jet, worth several small targets, right?

Hmm... not bad.

For him now, it was just an upgraded version of a transport tool; it really could only be considered a "Small Gift Box."

"Boring. System, use the lucky draw chance!" Jiang Jing pinned his hopes on a higher-level draw.

In his mind, that huge turntable covered in mysterious runes appeared again and began to spin rapidly.

The pointer swept across dazzling areas: God-level skills, black technology blueprints, super serums, special items...

Jiang Jing held his breath, his eyes fixed on the turntable.

Finally, the speed of the turntable slowed down, and the pointer trembled past several tempting areas, finally stopping on a square that looked nondescript, appearing to be a silver card.

[Ding! Lucky draw successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the special item: Life Background Modifier (One-time use)!]

[Life Background Modifier]: After use, it can be used to make a rational modification to a certain aspect of the host's own past life background.

Modifiable options include but are not limited to: family background, educational history, cultural background, professional experience, etc.

After modification, a relevant logical closed-loop evidence chain will be automatically generated to ensure no one can find any loopholes. (Note: The modification must conform to basic logic; it is impossible to add an overly outrageous background out of thin air.)

Jiang Jing looked at the introduction of this reward, and his eyes lit up instantly!

"Good stuff!" He couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

This was practically tailor-made for him!

What was his biggest "flaw" right now?

It was the huge contrast between his overly ordinary past and the monstrous talent and ability he displayed today!

The Star beauty serum could still be explained as having good luck in obtaining an ancient formula, but what about later?

If he brought out the black technology from the System Mall one by one, how would he explain it?

A young man who graduated from an ordinary second-tier university and had previously been struggling for a living, suddenly became an all-around genius?

This would definitely attract the highest level of suspicion and investigation!

It was a hidden danger.

And this [Life Background Modifier] perfectly solved this hidden danger!

"Which item should I modify?" Jiang Jing touched his chin in thought.
