Movie variety show soul travels between two worlds to become a rich man

Chapter 759 Money can make the world go round

Five stunning beauties stood side by side, each with their own feelings—some were calm, some were expectant, some were nervous, and some were afraid of the unknown.

Gao Dongxu raised his flashlight and adjusted the lens. Through the viewfinder, he saw five beautiful faces.

"Look at the camera."

He spoke softly, then pressed the shutter.

"boom!"

A soft cracking sound rang out, followed by a dazzling yet not blinding white light that instantly enveloped the entire room, turning the pupils of the five women into a bright silver.

After the white light faded, the room returned to normal. The five women blinked instinctively, their vision gradually returning.

“Alright,” Gao Dongxu put down the camera, a meaningful smile playing on his lips, “Welcome to the real world. Now, let’s see what the ‘outside’ looks like now.”

He walked towards the door first. The five women took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in their hearts, exchanged glances, encouraged each other, and then followed Gao Dongxu out of the suite and down the elevator.

The elevator doors opened on the first floor, and the hustle and bustle of the city outside the hotel could be faintly heard.

They followed Gao Dongxu, step by step, out of the revolving golden doors of the Shilla Hotel and into the bustling streets.

The streets were bustling with traffic and crowds of people.

All of this seemed no different from usual.

However, in their newfound perspective, the world has completely changed.

Amidst the bustling crowd, numerous translucent, blurry, or clinging-to-something-life-long "beings" were clearly interwoven. Some wandered aimlessly, some clung to passersby, and some lingered in some corner, repeating actions from their previous lives... A diverse and bizarre array.

Humans and ghosts intertwine, yin and yang coexist.

This is the real world they will face every day from now on.

Five beautiful eyes reflected the hidden world beneath the bustling city, another dimension, and each fell silent, their hearts churning with emotion.

At this moment, Wang Jianjun drove his Mercedes-Benz van to a stop in front of everyone. He subconsciously wrapped his arms around Gao Dongxu's arms, and Bai Qiangwei and Annie Ke, seeking a sense of security, couldn't help but turn to look at Gao Dongxu's handsome and sculpted profile.

"Where are we going?" Under the influence of the two mineral waters, Marriage and Couple, Bai Qiangwei had completely forgotten her initial hatred and Gao Dongxu's rudeness.

Looking at Bai Qiangwei, whose fair skin and rosy complexion made her incredibly radiant with the glow of love, Gao Dongxu reached out and embraced her slender waist, accentuated by her long suit dress, and said with a smile, "Let's change hotels. I've found a very interesting one."

"What hotel?" Bai Qiangwei met Gao Dongxu's bright, predatory gaze, her pretty face slightly flushed, and she asked softly, her heart fluttering.

"Del Luna—" Go Dong-wook said, his eyes shining.

Following the navigation, the car slowly drove into the heart of the Hanok Village. Afternoon sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the bluestone path.

Finally, the car stopped in front of a manor house surrounded by lush gardens—a rustic wooden plaque hung on the porch, inscribed with "Hotel Del Luna" in elegant lettering.

Gao Dongxu got out of the car first, followed by five women of different styles, all equally eye-catching. The building in front of them was completely different from the Gothic skyscraper they had seen in the early morning.

This is a manor hotel that blends European and modern design. The green tiles and white walls are dotted with carefully trimmed pine trees, and the sound of flowing water comes from the bamboo water feature, making it seem like a secluded paradise away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

Just as they paused to look around, in an extremely luxurious office deep inside the hotel, Zhang Manyue suddenly opened her eyes on a chair with an exquisitely carved back that was over two meters high.

She sensed an unusual fluctuation emanating from the Moon Spirit Tree, a peculiar resonance unseen for hundreds of years. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and the next second she vanished from her spot, reappearing in the hotel's magnificent lobby.

Lu Junxi, who was checking accounts at the front desk—the hotel's ninety-eighth human manager, an elderly gentleman with meticulously combed silver hair—immediately stepped forward and respectfully asked the suddenly appearing president, "President, what happened?"

A solemn expression settled over Zhang Manyue's beautiful face: "A human guest has arrived."

Manager Lu looked surprised: "But President, there's no lunar eclipse in Seoul recently?" According to Hotel Del Luna's rules, they only receive human guests on the night of a lunar eclipse.

“It was the Moon Spirit Tree that asked me to receive them.” Zhang Manyue’s tone was tinged with confusion and wariness. “Let’s go and see who these people are.”

Outside the hotel entrance, Gao Dongxu was instructing the five women: "Remember, you might see some supernatural phenomena once you go in. Stay calm and just pretend you don't see anything." The five women exchanged glances, their eyes filled with both tension and anticipation.

Just then, the hotel doors slowly opened. A woman dressed in a bright red top and a black, form-fitting midi skirt appeared before them. Her hairstyle was exquisite—a side-parted updo with bangs perfectly showcasing the graceful lines of her neck, her fiery red lips contrasting sharply with her pale skin. Despite her petite stature, the powerful aura she exuded commanded respect. Behind her, a silver-haired elderly gentleman stood respectfully.

A look of amazement flashed in Gao Dongxu's eyes. He hadn't expected to see such a completely different kind of domineering and assertive aura in Lee Ji-eun, the nation's little sister. A bright smile spread across his face, making no attempt to hide his admiration.

Zhang Manyue's cold gaze swept over the crowd, and when she saw Gao Dongxu's undisguised stare, she frowned slightly: "This store operates on a membership system and is not open to the public. Please find another place."

Despite the Moon Spirit Tree's request for her to entertain these guests, she found it difficult to feel any affection for a man accompanied by five beautiful women.

"Membership system?" Gao Dongxu calmly took out a gold bar from his pocket and casually tossed it to Zhang Manyue. "I wonder if your store could make an exception for this?"

Zhang Manyue instinctively caught the flying object, and when she saw that it was a heavy gold bar in her hand, her eyes lit up. "One gold bar a day." She tried to remain calm, but her tone had already softened.

"No problem," Gao Dongxu replied with a smile.

In an instant, the coldness on Jang Man-wol's face melted away like ice and snow, and a sweet smile bloomed on her face: "Welcome to Hotel Del Luna, please come in, distinguished guests!"

Manager Lu, who was standing to the side, seemed to be used to the money-grubbing president's quick change of expression. He maintained his elegant gentlemanly demeanor and bowed to welcome the guests.

The five women remained silent, observing the hotel president with curiosity as she went from being icy cold to beaming with smiles. Her vibrant red lips and sweet smile created a unique charm.

As Gao Dongxu led the group up the steps and followed Zhang Manyue into the hotel lobby, it was as if they had crossed an invisible barrier. The scene inside made the five women hold their breath.

The grandeur of the hall far exceeded what the exterior could imagine; its vastness defied the building's physical scale. Dazzling crystal chandeliers hung from the seemingly endless ceiling, and intricate patterns were carved into the marble columns, filling the air with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

What shocked the five women the most were the semi-transparent figures moving around in the hall. These were clearly not human beings. Some wandered alone, some gathered together to talk and drink, and some even played cards on a classic sofa in the corner.

They look no different from ordinary people; if it weren't for their translucent nature, they would be almost indistinguishable from living people.

The five women quickly averted their gaze, pretending to admire the hotel's decorative art, but their slightly trembling fingers betrayed their inner turmoil.

A glint of light flashed in Zhang Manyue's eyes, and she instructed Manager Lu, "Arrange room 404 for them."

“Yes, President.” Manager Lu replied respectfully.

Zhang Manyue turned to Gao Dongxu, her tone regaining a touch of businesslike indifference: "Although we are making an exception for everyone, please be sure to abide by the hotel rules. After midnight, no matter what happens, you are absolutely not allowed to leave your room. Anyone who violates this rule will be immediately removed from the hotel. Please remember this."

Gao Dongxu nodded and smiled, "Of course I'll comply. However, could we change rooms? The number 404 seems a bit unlucky."

Zhang Manyue's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mysterious smile: "On the contrary, room 404 here is the most auspicious room. Many years ago, a newlywed couple checked in, and soon after they left, the couple became pregnant and gave birth to a child who later became a genius football star."

From then on, every newlywed couple who stayed in this room quickly conceived and gave birth to a gifted child. So you should feel lucky.”

Upon hearing this, the five women's eyes lit up simultaneously, and their gazes towards Gao Dongxu became intense. Feeling the burning gazes behind him, Gao Dongxu couldn't help but chuckle, "In that case, I really must thank the boss for his special treatment."

"No need to be polite, your gold will not be wasted." Zhang Manyue smiled faintly, clapped her hands and called out, "Ruixi, take the guest to the room."

As soon as the words were spoken, a middle-aged woman dressed in a white shirt and black vest appeared quietly. She bowed gracefully and smiled gently: "Distinguished guests, please follow me."

"Thank you for your trouble." Gao Dongxu nodded to the beautiful woman, then gave Zhang Manyue a meaningful look before leading the five women to the stairs with the room manager.

In the lobby, Zhang Manyue watched the six people go upstairs, her beautiful eyes narrowing, a sharp glint in them: "These six people are definitely not ordinary guests."

Manager Lu responded in a low voice: "Indeed, they can all see our real guests."

"Are you sure?" Zhang Manyue turned her head sharply, her eyes full of surprise.

"Although the five female guests concealed it very well, the eyes are the most honest, and they still gave it away," Manager Lu replied respectfully.

“All six of them possess the ability of spiritual vision…” Zhang Manyue frowned. “They’ve clearly come for the hotel. But I don’t understand why the Divine Tree is so eager to see that person…”

Manager Lu suggested softly, "Since the Divine Tree has made this decision, there must be a deeper meaning. Perhaps you should take him to see the Divine Tree; maybe he will be yours—"

"Absolutely impossible!" Zhang Manyue bristled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her face contorted with a mixture of shame and anger, before vanishing from the spot in an instant.

Manager Lu looked at the empty hall and sighed softly, but a spark of hope quietly ignited in his originally gloomy eyes.
