Neurolink System in the Modern World

"Oh my god, I can't wait to wear my swimsuit."

The whole group began to revel in the breathtaking view as they got closer and closer to the island. The sheer size of the pier alone indicated that this was a high-end destination.

As they approached, the white sands seemed to stretch endlessly, inviting them to the paradise that lay ahead. Everyone was now giddy with anticipation, their hearts pounding with the thrill of enjoying such a luxurious resort.

The moment the yacht docked, the group wasted no time disembarking. The yacht was good, but nothing beat enjoying the safety of an island. There were no waves rocking them, and the air flow was much tamed, making their breaths easier.

"Wow, I'm excited to hit the beach right away!" one of the girls exclaimed, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. She had spent a considerable amount of money on an expensive swimsuit sets for this day, choosing to splurge rather than opt for cheaper brands to maintain appearance .

And she was not the only one who took this approach.

Nearly all the girls in the group had invested in new swimsuits to avoid being overshadowed by their peers.

However, they were concerned that those soon-to-be idols , who were stunningly beautiful, might join them at the beach later. They were worried that they would pale in comparison.

They had already noticed how the boys gazed at those girls with lustful eyes. The only reason they didn't approach them was that they always stuck together and appeared to be in relationships with Zyn.

For now, only Chung Ae, Mizy, and Raeya were the girls in their batch who could barely match the attractiveness of those soon-to-be idols.

"Hey, we need to check in on our hotel first ," Guk Kwan claps his hand to get everyone attention .

"Hotel? We're not staying in a cottage?" Chung Ae inquired, her eyes reflecting her surprise. She realized that she had underestimated the wealth of Guk Kwan's cousin.

Throughout their journey, she had tried to get closer to him, but he had proved to be a hard nut to crack. He was constantly surrounded by those idols, and when she did manage to strike up a conversation with him, she felt that he showed no interest whatsoever, which had dealt a blow to her ego.

Chung Ae was deeply frustrated, though she concealed her feelings. Zyn appeared to be a man of the highest caliber, with countless options at his disposal.

He was very handsome, carried himself with grace, was extremely wealthy, and judging from the way he talked, he was very articulate and intelligent too. He was so perfect that it was almost unreal.

In contrast, someone like her, who had previously been highly regarded by ordinary men, felt entirely insignificant in his eyes.

"Of course not. My cousin owns a private hotel! Why would he let us sleep in a cottage? Those are for poor people," Guk Kwan bragged, interrupting Chung Ae's thoughts..

She found his attitude irritating, especially since he was acting like a big shot despite merely being just carried by his cousin.

Everyone could tell that he had become even more annoying compared to before, but they didn't dare to call him out. He was the reason they were able to enjoy this luxurious vacation, after all.

"Where is that hotel?" Chung Ae asked with a friendly smile, adopting a cute and approachable demeanor. Guk Kwan blushed after seeing her; she was his crush in middle school, but she had never given him a chance.

"The hotel?" Guk Kwan was momentarily lost, realizing that it was his first time on the island, too.

He had considered waiting for his cousin to come down and guide them. But as he looked at the yacht, it seemed his cousin had no plans to disembark yet. He must be busy with his harem at the moment.

With no choice , he started turning his head left and right, trying to see if he could ask someone else. .

Fortunately, he was saved by the bell as a dozen people wearing aloha shirts approached them. These were the island staff, there to greet them.

"Mr. Kwan, the hotel is this way," one of the hotel staff said, gesturing toward what appeared to be golf carts to transport them.

"Alright, guys, our ride has arrived. Feel free to pick which golf cart you want!" He started laughing, pretending that he had expected this kind of welcome from the very beginning.

Of course, everyone pretended to be amazed and kept praising him, but deep down, they were cursing him for being too arrogant.

After they drove for a few minutes on the narrow red brick road, what greeted them was a four-story building that seemed to be carved directly into the side of the mountain.

Its design was contemporary, yet the rugged mountain rock seemed to have absorbed the structure, creating a beautiful contrast between modern architecture and nature. The building seamlessly blended into the surroundings, with lush greenery and vibrant flowers adorning the landscape, providing a serene and harmonious atmosphere.

Just seeing the hotel was enough to make everyone gasp in amazement . They realized how blinded they were of the meaning of living the life. Before , they were already contented with their lives, but after experiencing this , they realized that what they were doing was simply surviving .

The lives of the rich were undeniably enviable. It was to the point that, despite all the free luxuries and amenities provided to them, some couldn't help but find themselves mired in negative thoughts.

They feel like they were just invited here so Guk Kwan can show off. He even managed to sleep with a woman in a 4 years relationship last night because she tried to flirt with him, hoping she'd also get lucky.

Little did this group know, Guk Kwan's attitude was the least of their worries. Right now, a person on a power trip was observing them, contemplating ways to turn this paradise into a living hell.
