Comprehension Ability: Creating the Five Thunders Technique in Reality-Chapter 829 - 418: Farewell to Luo Meixiang

Liu Yunxi chuckled softly, pulling back his neck slightly.

Although he had some guesses in his heart, he dared not articulate them.

The cost of this yacht had already exceeded his comprehension, and he was worried that stating it would not only fail to confirm but also make a fool of himself.

"Everyone, let's head to the banquet hall first."

Lu Zhengxu said with a hearty smile, leading the way with a grin.

As they proceeded, even though it was evening, the deck remained bustling.

Beauties in bright bikinis each had their allure, walking along the yacht's deck, occasionally taking pictures and bursting into lively laughter.

On this yacht, even the service staff seemed to shine like supermodels.

"These guys and gals are just here to ride on coattails; they're not worth anything. Even if they try to chat you up, you'd better not get close to them, lest you lower your own worth."

Lu Zhengxu mocked as he pointed at the men and women on the deck.

"These people are cheap and come at a call; if you beckon, they'll come to your room right away because once they're on the high seas, they have to rest in the restaurant if no guest room is arranged for them.

In case of trouble, they don't even have the right to escape."

Lu Zhengxu said nonchalantly.

At gatherings like today, besides the essential celebrities and socialites, there need to be some attractive men and women to enliven the scene.

These people act as spectators, serve as waiters, and even serve as dance partners at the ball.

In short, they go wherever they're needed, and they won't get even a bit of money afterward.

Even so, those eager to attend the banquet are endless; sometimes, even a waiter's spot requires bribing to get on the candidate list and overcoming fierce competition to get in.

They endure such grievances merely to cling to a wealthy person, hoping it will help them enter the world of fame and fortune.

The world of fame and fortune is a money pit, yet also a money-making machine.

To make a mark in this circle, you have to spend money in the early stages, and it can't be a small amount — hundreds of millions are often spent.

To achieve a certain reputation, the resources expended start at a billion.

Even for ordinary people, not to mention the wealthy, how many can bear such expenses?

The threshold is high, but the number of men and women wanting to step into this circle is countless.

Millionaires are a scarce resource.

"Thanks for reminding us, but we don't need it."

Liu Yunxi hurriedly waved his hand.

Although the beauties were attractive, he wasn't here playing alone today; with Yu Mengjie eyeing him intently, he dared not even glance at them.

Lu Zhengxu looked at Lin Beichen and noticed that Lin Beichen was completely unaffected, with a face as calm as a still water.

Seeing this, Lu Zhengxu's brow furrowed slightly.

Liu Yunxi's reaction was what he considered typical of a man; Lin Beichen's imperturbability made him a bit perplexed.

Could it be that Lin Beichen was an inexperienced country bumpkin, who dared not think, hence the calmness?

Before entering the banquet hall, there was another controlled area, guarded by a dozen robust men checking individuals before the door.

After Lu Zhengxu took out his invitation, he was immediately allowed through, but Lin Beichen and the others were treated differently.

"Why aren't we allowed in? I also have an invitation!"

Liu Yunxi said discontentedly.

"Sir, please verify your invitation again. This is only an invitation to visit the yacht. You don't have the privilege to enter the banquet hall, which requires a VIP invitation, and yours doesn't qualify."

The fully armed security staff looked at Liu Yunxi coldly, their eyes filled with suspicion.

In their view, Liu Yunxi was clearly pretending to be ignorant, feigning qualification to sneak in, although he clearly wasn't eligible.

Liu Yunxi couldn't bear such humiliation.

New to the scene, he thought a ticket was enough to get in, and he had boasted to Lin Beichen and others, only to end up stranded here, how could he accept that?

Lu Zhengxu stood inside the passageway, separated by just one person, yet it seemed he was in a place of utter prestige, looking haughtily at everyone.

"I thought they were VIPs from the mainland, turns out just a bunch of penniless nobodies."

Lu Zhengxu thought silently to himself.

The invited celebrities and stars around smirked and whispered, occasionally letting out a light laugh.

Yet, to Liu Yunxi, this laughter was no less than ear-piercing mockery.

He quickly took out his phone and called a friend.

"I asked you to get me tickets. What did you do? Now everyone thinks I'm a ticket evader. How can I save face?"

"Liu Yunxi, are you crazy? What do you think this banquet is?

I got you a few tickets just to broaden your horizons and maybe surf the buzz, and you think it's the wish-fulfilling Immortal who can get you whatever you want?"

"Today's banquet is a gathering of stars, even if I have the means to move mountains, I can only bring one person in with me.

You didn't ask, but brought so many people, do you think it's a fairground, where you just waltz in with everyone?"

The friend's tirade left Liu Yunxi red-faced with embarrassment.

Lu Zhengxu watched Liu Yunxi quietly, waiting until he was fully cornered, then he said with a smile:

"I can vouch for them. They didn't mean to sneak in. For my sake, can you let them in if they pay the difference?"
