144: Chapter 144 Unlocking Dream Island

Chu Sen was momentarily speechless.

But he still let out a cold snort.

"Hmph, fine, let's wait and see."

"Don't blame me for not warning you."

"I want to see where you'll hide your face when the island staff kicks you back!"

After saying that, Chu Sen turned back in a huff to call the other students to buy tickets and board the ship.

"Alright, let's go too!"

Lin Yi rubbed his slightly aching lower back and headed toward the ferry ticket office with the three girls.

...

It took nearly half an hour by boat from the pier to Zuimeng Island.

The group sat on the boat, looking out the cabin windows at the boundless sea.

The azure water met the azure sky.

It was a sight that made one feel delighted.

The boat also displayed some introductions to Zuimeng Island.

Zuimeng Island, sixty kilometers long from east to west and thirty kilometers from north to south, was overall oval-shaped.

It covered an area of nearly 1,000 square kilometers.

It was considered a very large island.

The island was divided into five zones.

In the center was the Primeval Jungle Zone, surrounded by the Lake Zone, the Beach Zone, the Oasis Zone, and the Cliff Zone.

Each zone was an artificial replica, almost perfectly recreating real natural landscapes.

Listening to the introduction, the students excitedly leaned against the cabin windows, looking out.

The waves, as blue and tender as jelly, left everyone in awe.

School beauty Liang Yuexin and her best friend Hu Yue were also chirping away excitedly at this moment.

"Xinxin, Senior Chu is so capable. I didn't expect him to be able to bring so many of us to the island."

"I heard that a single ticket to the island costs 2,800 yuan!"

"My monthly living expenses are only 1,500..."

Liang Yuexin glanced at Chu Sen, who was sitting on the other side of the cabin, her face filled with admiration.

"Not only that, Yueyue, do you know? I heard we are among the first batch of official tourists on the island!"

"I saw online that the daily slots for Zuimeng Island are very tight. Some people can't even buy them with money!"

"Besides being rich, Senior Chu's family must be very influential!"

Hu Yue nodded in agreement.

As college students, someone like Chu Sen was already so dazzling that he seemed out of reach to them.

Sometimes, looking at him felt like a firefly gazing at the sun.

This was exactly what Liang Yuexin found most captivating about Chu Sen.

She was someone who was very, very attracted to power and excellence.

The more outstanding the other person was, the more she liked them.

But then Hu Yue suddenly remembered something and nudged Liang Yuexin mysteriously with her arm.

"Xinxin, I heard a bit of inside information."

"Of course, it's very likely just a rumor!"

"So don't get angry when I say it..."

Liang Yuexin became curious.

"What news?"

"Why would I be angry?"

Hu Yue hesitated for a moment but decided to tell her the truth.

"Last night, I overheard two boys from our Student Union chatting."

"They said... the reason Senior Chu organized this trip to Zuimeng Island was to..."

"To pursue Su Ming..."

"And to prevent Su Ming from finding an excuse not to come, Senior Chu invited those of us who are core members of the Student Union..."

When Liang Yuexin heard this news, it felt like a bolt of lightning had struck her heart.

"Senior Chu... likes Su Ming?"

"No... that's impossible!"

"Yueyue, did you mishear?"

"When I confessed to Senior Chu last time, he clearly promised me he would go back and think it over carefully."

"He said that dating isn't a game, so he had to think seriously before giving me an answer."

"How could he suddenly like Su Ming?"

"Think about it, if he didn't like me, he would have just rejected me directly back then!"

"Since he said he'd think it over... he must have feelings for me..."

Hu Yue asked weakly.

"Then could he... have feelings for both of you at the same time?"

"I've heard many boys are like that, very fickle."

"Take Lin Yi, for example. Look at how many girls are surrounding him!"

As if to support her point, Hu Yue pointed toward Lin Yi from a distance.

Liang Yuexin looked over and saw Lin Yi, Su Ming, Xu Dongqing, and Jiang Xiaowan talking and laughing together.

"No, impossible. Senior Chu is definitely not that kind of person!"

Liang Yuexin shook her head firmly.

"Yueyue, you don't know, but Senior Chu has actually secretly shown interest in me before."

"He said I'm very special, unlike any other girl he's met."

"He said only I can understand the thoughts in his heart."

"He even said I look beautiful when I smile and that he wants to see my smiling face every day."

"It was because of these hints from him that I gathered the courage to take the initiative and confess to him."

"Yueyue, tell me, doesn't that mean he likes me?"

"And someone as outstanding as Senior Chu takes relationships very seriously."

"He even had to consider it carefully after my confession before giving me an answer."

"How could he be compared to a playboy like Lin Yi?"

In Liang Yuexin's eyes, Chu Sen could never be that kind of person.

...

From a distance, Lin Yi seemed to sense someone badmouthing him behind his back and sneezed for no reason.

Su Ming hurriedly took Lin Yi's hand.

"Why did you sneeze? Did you catch a cold last night?"

Lin Yi shook his head and joked.

"Catching a cold is impossible. It's probably exhaustion from working the night shift."

But Su Ming was in no mood for Lin Yi's jokes right now.

"Lin Yi, in a while... if you don't have a ticket, you won't really be kicked back, will you..."

Su Ming began to worry for Lin Yi.

The two had just broken through that layer of their relationship, and Su Ming didn't want to be apart from Lin Yi for a single moment.

If Lin Yi were truly sent away, then Su Ming would have to stay on the island alone for these seven days.

With these classmates from the Student Union present, it wouldn't be right for Su Ming to abandon them and leave with Lin Yi.

After all, the school required the Student Union President to be responsible for the health and safety of these students.

Thinking of this, Su Ming's mouth pouted aggrievedly.

Lin Yi patted Su Ming's shoulder and comforted her.

"Don't worry."

"Nothing will happen."

"You'll know once we get on the island."

Lin Yi's tone was full of confidence.

Although Su Ming believed in Lin Yi,

She didn't know what method Lin Yi was going to use to get onto the island.

Could it be... that he also had some dealings with the Zuimeng Group?

...

Over half an hour later, the boat docked.

The moment the boat docked, the system's prompt sounded in Lin Yi's mind.

"Ding! Detected that the host has arrived at the Zuimeng Island pier."

"Unlocking mission accomplished."

"Reward is being unlocked..."

"Ding! Unlock successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the asset: Zuimeng Island!"

At the same time, on Zuimeng Island, at the Zuimeng Group headquarters, Vice General Manager Wei Zhiru's phone rang.

Wei Zhiru pressed the call button, brushed her hair back, and put the phone to her ear.

"Hello..."

"What? A new boss?"

"Today?"

"Already at the pier?"

"Okay, I understand. I'll make the arrangements!"
