Nightclub: Underworld!

All the players accepted Devin George's invitation to the team-building event, except Kobe and Vujacic.

Kobe had received a text from Vanessa urging him to come home and fulfill his marital duties.

Vujacic, meanwhile, wanted to contact his goddess—Sharapova—as soon as possible.

Among the players going, the most excited was the Los Angeles Lakers' youngest kid.

Andrew Bynum, the youngest of them all.

Having just turned eighteen, his eyes practically lit up when he heard they were going to a nightclub—and that the veterans would be picking up the tab.

"Zhou, you don't need to be nervous. If you're too shy to loosen up, you can find a quiet girl there to chat with. The [NO-Vacany] we're going to isn't filled entirely with hot girls who are super outgoing." Kwame Brown seemed to have noticed that Zhou Ze had never been to a nightclub, so he came over with a smile and offered some advice.

On the court, despite being a rookie, Zhou Ze had acted like an older brother and stood up for Kwame Brown.

Now, this former bust of a number-one pick was worried that Zhou Ze might feel uncomfortable about it, which was why he had come over to give him some advice.

In Kwame Brown's eyes, Zhou Ze was probably like his fellow countryman Yao Ming, unable to accept America's uninhibited ways.

"Mm." Zhou Ze nodded with a smile.

To be fair.

Although Zhou Ze had established himself with the Los Angeles Lakers and got along well with most of his teammates, aside from Kobe, the person he talked to most was the "bust number-one pick" in front of him, whom the outside world mocked.

Kwame Brown's personality flaws far outweighed the shortcomings in his basketball skills.

But in private, he had not completely given up on "treatment."

NO-Vacany!

A super nightclub in Los Angeles.

It was located behind the Hollywood Walk of Fame, inside an inconspicuous parking lot.

"Bro, there's really a nightclub here?"

"And lots of hot girls too?"

When Andrew Bynum saw the utterly ordinary parking lot and learned that the nightclub was inside, half his fantasies were shattered.

"Impatient rookie, shut up."

"Just follow us."

Devin George snapped irritably.

Seeing Bynum act so green, the regulars all exchanged knowing smiles.

Soon, the group arrived at the super nightclub—NO-Vacany.

The first thing that caught their eyes was a scantily clad, sexy woman. She was lying on a bed, introducing Zhou Ze and the others to the background of this super nightclub.

The nightclub had a bar, a DJ booth, a second-floor private party area, and an outdoor open-air dance floor.

"Beautiful lady, may I have your contact information?" Before the blonde woman could finish her introduction, Bynum impatiently interrupted her.

The Little Shark could hardly wait to take the blonde somewhere else and get to know her better.

Devin George immediately frowned and rebuked him, "Damn rookie, shut up. If I'd known, I wouldn't have brought you out."

The blonde woman gave a polite little smile without blaming him and continued her introduction.

Many celebrities and notable figures from all walks of life came to this super nightclub to hold birthday parties.

After saying that, the blonde woman smiled and glanced at Zhou Ze, who was also a Lakers rookie.

Although the blonde woman did not like basketball, as the face of the nightclub, she often kept up with current trending news.

At a glance, she recognized the people before her as NBA stars, and she also recognized this troublesome Lakers rookie who had dared to elbow Kobe.

What surprised her was that this rookie from China was quite calm when he saw her, forming a sharp contrast with Andrew Bynum.

Of course...

What the blonde woman did not know was that while any hot-blooded single man would inevitably let his thoughts wander at the sight of such a sexy beauty, Zhou Ze knew how to put on an act...

Once the introduction was over, the blonde woman's bed opened up, revealing a stairway entrance leading into the bar.

After entering the nightclub, Zhou Ze felt as though he had stepped into a fantastical otherworld.

Deafening heavy electronic music surged over them like a tide. The air was thick with the scent of alcohol and perfume, while flickering, hazy lights shook the hearts of everyone who entered and intensely stimulated their senses. The Lakers players' bodies began moving involuntarily to the rhythm.

At the bar, the bartenders skillfully mixed colorful cocktails like they were performing acrobatics. The rhythmic clinking of ice and glasses made every customer's heart open up, stirring a primal urge within them!

"Zhou, my brother, loosen up and have fun. Your big bro's treating tonight." After ordering a cocktail, Devin George walked over to a hot-bodied Black girl.

Sure enough, Devin George was quite experienced. After only a brief interaction, he had made the girl laugh, and the two quickly began chatting familiarly.

He slowly put an arm around her waist while shooting Zhou Ze a look from the bar, as if to say, "Brother, learn from your big bro."

In contrast, Andrew Bynum, the kid who had just come of age, might have been meek and quiet around Kobe, rarely speaking up on his own.

But once he got to the nightclub, he completely let loose, constantly striking up conversations with girls.

Seeing Bynum's slightly boyish face, towering build, and obvious intentions, the hot girls at the club were not particularly interested in him.

"Zhou, can you get used to an environment like this?" Kwame Brown asked with a smile after ordering a cocktail.

"Haha, it's pretty nice to experience it once in a while." Zhou Ze took his freshly mixed cocktail and walked side by side with Kwame Brown toward an empty sofa in the corner of the club.

Every corner of the nightclub was furnished with elegant sofas and coffee tables, giving the place an understated yet luxurious feel.

"Man, you adapted to the NBA really fast." Kwame Brown smiled enviously.

Zhou Ze smiled faintly. "Brother, you've been doing a pretty good job protecting the boards lately too."

Receiving Zhou Ze's approval, Kwame Brown felt inexplicably pleased.

Although Kwame Brown had been to plenty of nightclubs, he did not seem particularly interested in chatting up beautiful women, despite being considered fairly handsome among Black men.

After all... he looked a lot like Jordan.

As the two chatted, the topic gradually shifted to basketball.

Although Kwame Brown was known as a bust of a first overall pick, he was not completely useless. At the very least, he was experienced and had matched up against most of the league's big men.

At that moment, Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum, having failed to hit on any girls, walked toward Zhou Ze in the corner with dejected expressions.

When they heard Zhou Ze and Kwame Brown still discussing basketball techniques in a nightclub, both of them rolled their eyes.

Andrew Bynum in particular could not help complaining, "Zhou, why don't you guys do calculus at the nightclub too?!"

Zhou Ze could not help laughing.

At that moment, the dance floor suddenly became lively, with men and women wildly swaying their bodies.

Seeing more and more hot girls gathering on the dance floor, Bynum, who had suffered repeated defeats, suddenly felt like he had a chance again.

At the same time...

Excited screams and thunderous applause erupted from the dance floor.

A curvy, sexy woman was showing off her dancing skills in the center of the floor, drawing wave after wave of screams.

Zhou Ze found her somewhat familiar, as though he had seen her somewhere before.

"Wow, I didn't expect Kate to be here today," Kwame Brown said in surprise.

Kate Beckinsale, the female lead of Underworld.

She was currently filming Underworld 2: Evolution.
