Nightclub Prince?

Zhou Ze remembered clearly that Underworld 2: Evolution would not be released until late January 2006, more than two months from now—it was currently November.

The film had already finished shooting.

Kate Beckinsale had come to this super nightclub tonight mainly to attend the birthday party of a friend outside the entertainment industry.

With her hot, sexy figure and overflowing sexual appeal, the instant she stepped onto the dance floor, she drew countless gazes. Even women could not help looking at her a few extra times.

In an instant, she became the queen of the entire venue!!!

"OMG, it's Kate!" Andrew Bynum, who had once again failed to strike up a conversation with a girl, returned to Zhou Ze's side.

The moment he saw Kate, he immediately threw all his previous frustration out of his mind.

Like a devoted young fan, Andrew Bynum let out an excited scream.

He was so excited that his two-hundred-plus-pound body practically bounced around like a street punk.

After Kate performed a hot dance, quite a few men tried to use the opportunity to approach Kate Beckinsale.

Some were rich heirs, some were obscure minor celebrities, and there were even rappers with little dreadlocks, but Kate politely turned them all down.

"Zhou, Lamar, do you believe I can get Kate's contact information?" Bynum asked with confidence brimming over as he watched Kate leave the center of the dance floor and head to a sofa in the corner to join her friends.

Kate and her friends were playing darts.

"Fuck, you barely grown little brat. Believe it or not, I'll piss on you and wake you up," Lamar Odom said irritably.

Odom was utterly disgusted by this guy who had only recently come of age and wanted to pounce on every woman he saw. He truly regretted bringing him out.

"Come on, man... why don't you teach me a couple of tricks? Those girls all seem unwilling to pay any attention to me. Don't they know I'm an NBA player?" Rather than getting angry, Andrew Bynum humbly asked Odom for advice.

Odom rolled his eyes again.

During team practices, whenever trainers pointed out this rookie's mistakes, he always responded perfunctorily. He possessed the body of a historically great center, yet his development was painfully slow.

As a result, he still had not earned consistent playing time with the team.

"Get lost. Stop bothering me." Odom spoke impatiently, then turned to Zhou Ze with a wide smile. "Zhou, do you want to try your luck?"

Zhou Ze shook his head.

It was not that he had no interest in beautiful women. He simply found it troublesome. Besides, Zhou Ze had never liked taking the initiative to please women or spending his energy on that sort of thing.

Zhou Ze had always believed in the saying, "When you bloom, butterflies will come." As long as he built a beautiful garden, plenty of butterflies would naturally flock to it.

"Zhou, you're way too boring."

"Kwame, Luke, how about we go say hello to Kate? Aside from Kate, there are quite a few pretty girls over there."

"Hehe... after all, beautiful women are usually surrounded by beautiful women."

Andrew Bynum pulled Kwame Brown and the Lakers' second-year rookie Luke Walton along to approach Kate.

"Zhou, you really aren't planning to have a little encounter with some beauties? You're way too conservative!" Lamar Odom said with a smile.

Zhou Ze smiled.

"Hehe, Zhou, want me to introduce you to a girlfriend? My wife Kardashian's sisters... are there any types you like? Oh, right, my sister-in-law Jenner. She's such a sweet little sister-in-law, and she likes you a lot too. She even sees you as—cough, cough. My wife told me her room is covered in your posters," Odom said.

Zhou Ze froze slightly.

Good lord.

That Jenner Kardashian was really precocious.

Zhou Ze genuinely had no interest whatsoever in the Kardashian Family.

"Of course, Jenner is still young. She says that once she grows up, she wants to date you," Odom teased.

Zhou Ze could not help laughing.

Honestly.

Compared with nightclubs, Zhou Ze preferred the training facility and the gym.

But he could not resist the system's temptation.

For 300 Peak Points!

Zhou Ze had been forced to attend this private team-building event organized by his teammates.

Just then, Zhou Ze's phone rang.

It was a call from his agent.

A Los Angeles-based chewing gum company wanted Zhou Ze to become their spokesperson.

They had initially proposed a two-year endorsement contract worth $2.1 million.

The endorsement fee already exceeded Zhou Ze's player contract salary.

For the current Zhou Ze, there was no reason to refuse this endorsement deal.

After all, he could not even afford a mansion yet.

"Alright, see you at noon tomorrow."

They set the official signing for noon the next day.

There was an intra-squad scrimmage tomorrow morning. Zhou Ze planned to sign the endorsement contract after training.

Before long.

Andrew Bynum, Kwame Brown, and Luke Walton returned from Kate's side in defeat.

The three of them had played darts with some others and lost miserably.

The penalty for losing was drinking.

Andrew Bynum had just turned eighteen and loved showing off in front of girls. He had nearly drunk himself sick.

"Zhou, our record holder for half-court three-pointers, our dignity depends entirely on you." The three of them found Zhou Ze looking utterly dejected, hoping he would go over and help them win back some face.

Zhou Ze was definitely not the most accurate shooter in the NBA, but he was the hottest.

As a shooter, his control over the strength in his wrist naturally surpassed that of ordinary people.

But honestly, Zhou Ze did not really want to join in the fun.

However, the system's voice sounded again at that moment.

[Ding, Basketball Peak System has issued a daily mission: Stand up for your teammates and build team chemistry.]

[Mission reward: 300 Peak Points]

"Damn system..."

"Are you trying to steer me toward becoming some nightclub prince?"

Zhou Ze grumbled about the system inwardly.

At the same time, he headed toward the dart area where Kate and the others were.

There were too many celebrities in Los Angeles. Although Zhou Ze was one of the hottest rookies in the NBA, Kate did not recognize him. Instead, one of her friends beside her recognized Zhou Ze.

"Wow... you're Zhou Ze, the Los Angeles Lakers rookie who dared to elbow Kobe." A young woman in her early twenties recognized Zhou Ze at a glance.
