When the dazzling glow of the two golden rewards finally faded, Luo Zheng forced himself to calm down and began examining the rest of the prizes one by one. What he saw next left him both stunned and amused.
[Purple: Pop Song Gift Pack]
[Purple: Animated Movie Gift Pack]
[Purple: Physique +1]
[Blue: 500 Million USD]
[Blue: Script Exchange Card ] [Blue: Script Exchange Card ] [Blue: Script Exchange Card ]
[Green: Kidney Treasure ×10]
[Green: 50 Million USD]
[White: Side Quest +1]
"...What even are these?"
Luo Zheng stared at the list, genuinely confused for a moment. The golden rewards had already shaken his worldview—now the rest of the items felt almost surreal. Without wasting time, he tapped into each one to read the details carefully.
The two purple gift packs were straightforward.
The Pop Song Gift Pack contained ten complete songs—lyrics, composition, arrangement, everything. As he skimmed through them, Luo Zheng's eyes lit up. These weren't just random tracks; they were all proven hits, songs that could dominate charts and, more importantly in this era, the ringtone market.
This alone was enough to launch a singer.
And he already had the perfect candidate—Jane Zhang.
The second purple reward, however, was even more valuable.
The Animated Movie Gift Pack included ten full animation scripts, complete with storyboards and production outlines.
Luo Zheng didn't even need to think long before realizing its significance.
Disney had built an empire starting from a single character—Mickey Mouse—and a string of successful animated films. Now that he owned shares in Pixar, stepping into the animation industry wasn't just an option—it was inevitable.
In fact, a huge portion of Disney's resurgence had been driven by Pixar.
Back in 1991, the collaboration between Disney and Pixar had ushered in a new era of computer-generated animation. And in 1995, their joint project, Toy Story, exploded worldwide, earning over 360 million dollars and becoming a defining moment in animation history.
That success even played a role in bringing Steve Jobs back into prominence.
Which meant one thing—
The animation market was still a massive opportunity.
With rising excitement, Luo Zheng opened the gift pack.
The first title alone made his breathing pause.
Frozen.
He leaned back slightly, exhaling slowly.
This wasn't just a successful movie.
This was a phenomenon.
Adapted from Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, Frozen had once reignited Disney's dominance. Its songs—especially "Let It Go"—had become global sensations. Merchandise sales exploded, and Elsa became one of the most iconic characters in modern animation.
If Mickey Mouse was the foundation…
Then Frozen was the peak of revival.
After that came titles like Despicable Me, Minions, and others—each a proven commercial success.
Individually, they were valuable.
Together?
They were an empire waiting to be built.
Taking a deep breath, Luo Zheng moved on.
The next item—
Physique +1.
He paused.
"…That's it?"
No dramatic transformation. No sudden surge of strength.
But according to the System, it enhanced his overall physical condition—strength, stamina, endurance—all improved slightly.
It wasn't flashy.
But it was practical.
Especially considering his current… lifestyle.
Then came the financial rewards.
500 million USD and 50 million USD.
Luo Zheng glanced at them and shrugged.
Compared to the Apple shares he had just obtained, this felt almost insignificant.
Still, money was money.
And more importantly—it gave him liquidity.
With this, he could accelerate Marvel's copyright buybacks and potentially convert the investment into additional equity later.
Next were the Script Exchange Cards.
Simple and powerful.
Each one allowed him to obtain a script from his previous life—saving time, effort, and uncertainty.
Three cards meant three guaranteed projects.
That alone could shape entire production cycles.
Then—
He reached the most ridiculous reward.
[Kidney Treasure ×10]
Enhances kidney function. No side effects.
(A man needs strong kidneys…)
"…Seriously?"
Luo Zheng's face darkened.
"I'm twenty-one!"
"What exactly are you implying, System?"
He stared at the description for a long moment, then decisively closed it.
No matter what—
He would never use it.
Absolutely not.
Finally—
Side Quest +1.
This, surprisingly, was one of the most useful rewards.
Previously, he could only handle one side mission at a time. If he got stuck, it would block future opportunities.
Now, that limitation was gone.
More quests meant more rewards.
More rewards meant faster growth.
After reviewing everything, Luo Zheng leaned back, letting out a long breath.
This draw…
Had completely exceeded expectations.
The next morning, he was woken up by Liu Yan.
When he walked into the living room and saw the neatly prepared breakfast, his expression immediately turned displeased.
"Comrade Liu Yan," he said seriously, "as my personal secretary, cooking is a skill you must max out."
She didn't even blink.
"Sorry, Boss. I have too many skills to master. Cooking is low priority."
Luo Zheng raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Like what?"
She replied calmly, counting on her fingers:
"First, planning your dates without your other women finding out."
"Second, covering for you… again without your other women finding out."
"Alright, stop." Luo Zheng cut her off immediately. "Let's eat."
After breakfast, Liu Yan changed into a professional outfit and began reporting the day's schedule.
"Mr. Chairman," she said formally.
"9 AM: Conference call with Blue Whale's Artist Department."
"2 PM: Ms. Jolie and her friend will visit Marvel."
"5 PM: Departure to Culver City for tomorrow's negotiation with Columbia Pictures."
Luo Zheng nodded approvingly.
"You're getting better."
He leaned closer, intending to greet her in a more… personal way.
She stepped back instantly.
"That behavior will affect your promotion evaluation."
"Thank you for the reminder," she replied flatly.
At 9 AM, the meeting began.
Huo Wenxi didn't hold back.
"President Luo, I don't agree with launching Liangying directly with a full album," she said firmly. "She's new. She needs exposure first—EPs, gradual buildup. Rushing will ruin her."
Jane Zhang, sitting nearby, felt a quiet warmth hearing those words.
This was someone truly thinking about her future.
But Luo Zheng remained calm.
"I understand your concern," he said. "But I have confidence."
Silence followed.
Then he added:
"I'll send the songs this afternoon. After you hear them—you'll understand."
At 2 PM—
His office welcomed two guests.
One was Angelina Jolie.
The other—
Cate Blanchett
The moment Luo Zheng saw her, something clicked.
Pale skin. Ice-blue eyes. Dark hair framing a sharp, elegant face.
There was a coldness to her beauty—refined, distant, almost regal.
Then it hit him.
The Elf Queen.
Her presence carried a natural authority.
A quiet dominance.
Not loud.
Not flashy.
But impossible to ignore.
Luo Zheng's gaze lingered a second too long.
And Jolie noticed.
A faint, knowing smile curved at her lips.
Like a hunter…
Watching a fish take the bait.
