Before he died, a strange thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

If he had not been so desperate for the position of Deputy Director of the Event Bureau, would he not be dying now? If he had not been so proud back then, could he have provided a better life for his family? If...

"Ding, congratulations to player Zhou Shen for successfully clearing the F-grade Secret Realm Three-two-one Wooden Man."
"Time taken: two minutes and thirty-seven seconds."
