The warm morning sun rose, shining through the window into the room.
Su Rui woke up, his gaze somewhat languid.
Time had reset once again...
Another cycle, another repetition of a familiar life. It was truly dull and bewildering. This time... what identity would he use to live out this life?
"Happy birthday to you—"
The birthday song, clear as silver bells, rang out right on time. Su Rui reached out, grabbed his phone, and shut it off.
"You're awake?" A pleasant voice came from beside him, seemingly carrying deliberate mockery. "Didn't you say everything would reset today?"
Su Rui's body stiffened.
He abruptly threw off the blanket covering him and slowly turned his neck toward the source of the voice.
Li Ruobing sat there, completely different from how she had been last night. She was tall and slender, with long, straight black hair, cold and glamorous makeup, and a powerful aura. Simply sitting there, she radiated dominance and pressure.
That powerful aura blended with her beauty, making people feel an even stronger urge to conquer her.
But at that moment, Su Rui had no mind to admire the beauty at his side.
A birthday cake sat on the table, its candles still burning.
There were... twenty-five candles!
"...?" Su Rui was a little stunned.
Li Ruobing had not disappeared!
He was still living in the Villa Area!
Time had not reset?!!
That meant the curse of Su Rui's reincarnation had been broken!
"Twenty-five..." Su Rui burst into laughter, nearly overcome by the urge to cheer. "My life has finally returned to the Right Track!"
No one knew how Su Rui had endured through countless cycles of reincarnation.
Infinite rebirth sounded incredibly impressive and fortunate at first, because he could do anything he wanted without considering the consequences.
He could be a hero, a villain, an assassin, or a powerful minister...
Over countless cycles, Su Rui had experienced nearly every profession in the world and reached the pinnacle in each one.
He had become everyone's friend and learned all their secrets.
He had thought he would feel incomparably exhilarated, but he had been wrong.
He had quickly grown tired of it.
There were few things left in the world that could interest or excite him.
No matter what great deeds or evil acts he committed during a cycle, everything would become nothing when time reset. He could affect nothing, and every effort he made would be erased.
The business empire he had once built would vanish again in the next cycle, returning to nothingness.
The underground criminal empire he had once destroyed would rise again, brazenly operating as before.
The close comrade-in-arms who had once fought shoulder to shoulder with Su Rui would look at him with indifference and vigilance when they appeared again.
The girl who had once shared life and death with Su Rui would also become a stranger to him.
There was no meaning to it...
Time had turned Su Rui into a freak. All he could do was endlessly develop every one of his skills to the extreme.
King of Soldiers, Business Overlord, Medical Genius, Peak Car God, the youngest Political Rising Star...
Su Rui had once possessed countless dazzling titles, and those abilities had not reset. They were the only faith supporting him as he continued onward.
Otherwise, the endless reincarnations might have driven him insane.
And now...
Su Rui had finally escaped this cycle.
Su Rui's gaze gradually turned sharp. A person like him was practically a BUG in this world!
Like a sword drawn from its sheath, who could stand against him!
He was glad that he had not wasted those countless years, nor allowed a life of luxury and debauchery to corrode his will.
This all-knowing mind and omnipotent body were the finest proof.
No one was willing to remain ordinary.
Reach the summit!
Fame, fortune, power, and wealth!
Those were all that people pursued in life.
Even after being reborn Billion Times, human nature would not change.
Su Rui's personality was destined to pursue the summit and stand above everyone else.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Li Ruobing frowned. Although time had not reset as Su Rui had claimed, she was not angry, because she had never believed him from the beginning. She had merely found him interesting.
"I'm fine... I'm very well. Better than ever." Su Rui shook his head. Seemingly realizing that his earlier state had frightened Li Ruobing, he crooked a finger at her. "Have some cake with me."
"Heh..." Li Ruobing's tone turned indifferent again, completely unlike her wild and clingy self from last night. "I have work to do at my company. I don't have time to waste here with you."
In her eyes, what had happened last night was merely a chance encounter brought on by alcohol. Although she had given him her first time because of it, she would never allow that to bind her down or make her a man's attachment.
Su Rui suddenly laughed.
"Isn't it just raising investment? How much do you need? I'll give it to you."
"After one night, you're giving me money? What do you take me for? Remember this..." Li Ruobing looked down at Su Rui, pulled a thin stack of cash from her wallet, and threw it in front of him. Her tone was forceful. "Last night, I was the one who slept with you!"
Su Rui spread his hands helplessly.
This woman was a little too domineering.
"Is there any point in playing this kind of pride game?" Su Rui sat bare-chested. In that previous life, Li Ruobing had once told him that her company needed capital to expand—about one hundred eighty million.
"Two hundred million! The money will arrive on time by five this afternoon at the latest." Su Rui raised an eyebrow and held up one hand. "Now you have nothing to worry about, right?"
"You..." Li Ruobing stood up. She was tall, around one meter seventy-eight, and now carried an imposing, condescending air. "What do you mean?"
"Don't be so cold... We were so harmonious last night. Are you turning hostile and denying everything now?" Su Rui crooked his finger at Li Ruobing and said calmly, "I still prefer how you were last night. Go back to that, come feed me cake... and let's continue discussing who exactly slept with whom."
