The Night of Dongjin Begins

After walking out of the building, the group walked along the right side of the street.

It was not long before they saw a 7-Eleven convenience store.

Su Yang turned his head and said, "We can exchange money here. I think we should all withdraw some Island Yen to keep on hand, just in case we run into places that don't support mobile payments."

"OK."

Talking among themselves, they entered the convenience store and started using the ATM. At 7-Eleven, the maximum single withdrawal is 100,000 Yen, and the daily limit is also 100,000.

Su Yang quickly withdrew 100,000 Yen in cash. The largest denomination of the Island Nation's paper currency is 10,000, so 100,000 was not a thick stack—just ten bills. Converted to RMB, it was a little over 4,900, nearly 5,000 yuan.

There were two ATMs in the store. Everyone lined up to withdraw money, each taking out 100,000, and they finished quickly.

"All set, let's go."

"Can we only withdraw 100,000 at a time?" Liu Bo wanted to take out more.

Su Yang turned and said, "Yes, I specifically asked the clerk just now. You can only withdraw a maximum of 100,000 a day. If you want more, you'll probably have to go to a bank. But I heard the maximum amount of cash a person can carry here is only 1 million, so even if you wanted to withdraw a lot, you probably couldn't."

"Alright then, let's leave it at that for now. Let's go."

The group walked out of the convenience store and onto the street. Meng Qianyu looked around and asked, "What are we going to eat now?"

"Weren't we going to have Island Nation cuisine?"

"Oh, right, look at my memory. Should we book online or just walk around and see what we find?"

"Let's walk around. Since we're here, we should definitely experience the evening rush hour of the locals," Su Yang said with a smile.

"Alright, let's go."

They strolled along the street, following the flow of the crowd, and before they knew it, they had wandered into a bustling commercial street in the Shinjuku district.

"It's really lively here. Let's find something to eat nearby," Ren Lingxi suggested.

"Sounds good."

At 6:30 PM, after wandering around the commercial street for a while, they finally chose a high-end Island Nation restaurant.

Upon entering the restaurant, they were guided by a waiter to a window seat for ten and sat down.

Island cuisine has many categories. Meng Wenzhou ordered a whole range of specialty dishes from the menu, including sushi, sashimi, tempura, ramen, roast meat, tonkatsu, and sukiyaki.

"That should be about enough. Let's eat first, and we can order more later if it's not enough," Meng Wenzhou said, handing the menu to the waiter beside him.

The waiter took the menu, said a few simple words in English like "please wait a moment," and smiled before turning to leave and prepare the food.

While waiting, the group started discussing their plans for the evening.

Meng Wenzhou took a sip of water and said, "How about I take everyone to a very popular nightclub here tonight to have some fun?"

"Sure!" Liu Bo nodded with a smile.

"Don't be so hasty, let's see what the girls think first."

Pan Ning said indifferently, "I'm OK with it."

Zhuang Mengli nodded with a smile, "I'm OK too. It's been a while since I've been to a nightclub, so we can go have some fun today."

The others had no objections and agreed to go to the nightclub tonight.

"Since that's the case, we'll go to the nightclub tonight. Let me think, that place shouldn't be far from here, it's right in... uh... Kabukicho. But it's no fun going too early. After dinner, we'll keep shopping and head over around ten o'clock."

"Kabukicho?" Liu Bo repeated, looking up. "That name sounds really familiar."

Meng Wenzhou rested his head on his hand and rolled his eyes at Liu Bo, "Have you been there or something?"

"I haven't been there, but I think I've scrolled past videos of it. I heard it's incredibly lively."

"It's not just lively; there are a lot of fun things to do."

"Really?"

"Hehe, you'll find out when we get there."

"Alright, so where are we going tomorrow?" Jiang Xiaotang asked.

"For tomorrow, are you guys interested in anime and ACG culture?" Meng Wenzhou looked at the beauties.

Everyone shook their heads one after another, "Not interested."

"Uh... alright then. I was going to say that if you were interested, I could take you to stroll around the anime character streets. That area is a paradise for anime lovers."

"Boring, let's not go."

"Alright, let me think... Oh, right, we can go to Mount Fuji. It's only about eighty kilometers from Tokyo, not too far."

"That works! Since we're in the Island Nation, we absolutely have to see their most famous mountain."

"Okay then, we'll go tomorrow. As for the day after, we'll decide later."

"Sounds good."

Having reached an agreement, they changed the subject and chatted casually.

Soon, the waiter began serving the food.

A large table full of specialty dishes made the foodie Ren Lingxi's face light up with excitement.

"It looks so delicious, can we dig in now?"

"Eat up, no need for formalities. Let's dig in," Su Yang laughed.

They chatted as they ate, and soon the sky outside the window turned completely dark.

The neon-lit, glitzy, and glamorous Tokyo night had begun.

After finishing dinner, they walked along the bustling streets.

The girls were very interested in the various specialty shops along the street. Every few steps, they would hold hands and run into a store to browse.

Taking advantage of this, Liu Bo approached Meng Wenzhou and asked, "Brother Meng, where is that Kabukicho place you mentioned earlier?"

"It's just up ahead, not far now."

"Is that a commercial street too?"

"You could say that. Anyway, it's very lively, packed with people, and the kind of place where beautiful women are walking all over the streets."

Su Yang chimed in at this moment, "It seems to be a red-light district, right?"

"Haha, Old Su knows what's up. Of course, it's not just that kind of service; it's a comprehensive commercial district. But let me put it this way, this Kabukicho can be considered Tokyo's... no, it should be considered one of the largest red-light districts in the entire Island Nation, or even all of Asia. You guys also know that this country is very open, and certain industries are legal, so... Fatty, do you get it now?"

"Damn! I guessed it from the start, I just couldn't say it earlier because the girls were around."

"Tch, you didn't know anything."

"Hehe, what a great place. I definitely have to walk around and check it out later."

"We were going there anyway. There's a super popular nightclub in there, the kind where the party goes crazy."

"Nice, nice, just thinking about it gets me hyped, haha. Man, I can really let loose tonight. Are you two jealous?"

Su Yang and Meng Wenzhou looked at each other and smiled. "Jealous of what?"

"You guys have girls by your side, and I don't. So nobody is managing me. I can do whatever I want."

"If you put it that way, true. It really wouldn't be very convenient for the two of us to make a move," Meng Wenzhou laughed.

"Haha, man, I want to go right now."

"What's the rush? It's only nine o'clock. We'll take our time strolling over."

The three of them stood by the street and chatted for a while before the girls finally walked out of a clothing store.

However, none of them had bought anything.

Seeing this, Meng Wenzhou asked, "I say, if you aren't going to buy anything, why do you have to go in and browse?"

Jiang Xiaotang walked up with a smile and said, "How would we know if there's anything we like if we don't browse?"

"Fair enough. Alright then, let's keep moving forward."

"Okay."

The closer they got to Kabukicho, the more people there were on the streets.

A variety of luxury supercars and JDM models wove through the streets. The island nation's car culture had always been incredibly open with virtually no restrictions, so modified cars of all different styles could be seen everywhere on the roads.

Vroom!

The roar of engines erupted from their rear left.

Four ultra-low-stance JDM cars quickly sped past Su Yang and his group, tearing down the road. These four cars happened to be the legendary Four Kings of the JDM world:

The Nissan GT-R, Honda NSX, Toyota Supra, and Mazda RX-7.

"The car culture here really is something else," Su Yang remarked, looking down the street.

Meng Wenzhou nodded. "Yeah, the island nation is very lenient when it comes to this stuff. There's a lot of freedom to customize and play around with cars."

Just as they were speaking, another roar ripped through the air as a red LaFerrari and a purple Lamborghini Aventador SVJ blasted past them.

The deafening exhaust notes echoed down the entire street.

The group didn't linger on the sight and continued their leisurely stroll forward. Soon, they arrived at the entrance of an incredibly bustling street.

Flanking both sides of the street were rows of buildings of varying heights, exuding a distinct cyberpunk vibe. Right in the center of the street's entrance hung a massive red and white archway sign bearing several large characters: Kabukicho Ichibangai.
