“That’s right!” Everyone nodded.
As the saying goes, ‘one’s mouth is soft after eating, and one’s hands are short after taking,’ and these guys had not only eaten but also received over a dozen gifts each.
Although the individual price of these gifts wasn’t high, mostly around a few tens to over a hundred yuan, their sheer quantity was overwhelming.
After taking them all, each person had over a dozen items, totaling at least a thousand yuan.
While some celebrities had been generous enough to treat the crew to meals before, they usually only gave out free celebrity merchandise or bought coffee or milk tea. Someone like Mu Li was truly rare.
This live broadcast didn't generate much buzz; the main viewers were fans of each individual.
Most people weren't even aware that this show was going to air.
This was the most normal state of affairs; after all, the show hadn't even started filming yet. It would be strange if everyone already knew about it.
Finally, the day of departure arrived.
Everyone's flight was at 9 AM, and to avoid being late, the two tour guides arranged to arrive punctually at 7 AM.
Mu Li had nothing to pack, so he simply did his makeup and hair and left.
To save some time, he brought breakfast directly to Pei Pei’s house.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered, he saw Fu Peiyao, who had already finished her makeup and hair, preparing large and small bags.
Mu Li couldn't help but check the time: 6:30 AM.
“What time did you get up to do your styling?” Mu Li asked in surprise, “This look must take at least 2 hours, right?”
Having been in the entertainment industry for so long, Mu Li had some understanding of celebrity styling.
For a complete look like Fu Peiyao’s, from makeup to overall outfit, and even the meticulously designed hairstyle, it was impossible to finish in less than two hours.
Fu Peiyao couldn't help but yawn, taking the breakfast from Mu Li’s hand, and grumbled, “Sleep? I didn’t even get any sleep, okay? Getting up at 4 AM for makeup and hair, do you think I can actually get up?”
“You female celebrities are too dedicated,” Mu Li exclaimed, while stuffing Fu Peiyao’s packages into the shadow.
Fu Peiyao was used to this by now. She hadn’t considered any luggage issues for this trip, directly organizing everything into storage boxes.
When taken out later, it would actually make it easier for her to organize.
After the luggage was packed, the two didn’t linger any longer and flew directly to Magic City Airport.
This time, Mu Li didn't need to specifically tell the production team not to come; the two of them just needed to fly over on Togekiss. As for the footage, two GoPros were already enough.
By the time they arrived at the airport, it was almost 7 o’clock.
What Mu Li didn’t expect was that they were the last ones to arrive.
When the seven people met, Mu Li deliberately exaggerated and asked, “What’s going on with you all? You arrived so early? I thought I was late.”
Zhang Ruoyun couldn't help but laugh, “I didn’t expect everyone to arrive so early either.”
Mu Li nodded and said, “The time we set was originally to give everyone half an hour of leeway for being late, but I didn’t expect everyone to arrive early.”
Song Ling’er grumbled, “I barely got any sleep. I’m waiting to catch up on sleep on the plane.”
Mu Li pointed at Fu Peiyao and said, “I understand the burdens of you female celebrities, but…”
Mu Li looked at Xin Zilei and asked curiously, “Sister Lei, I can understand why they have burdens, but why are you so dedicated too?”
Xin Zilei immediately rolled her eyes and said, “What about me? Am I not a female celebrity?”
Zhang Ruoyun directly interrupted the topic and said, “Let’s check in our luggage first, and then we can chat.”
Everyone nodded. Song Ling’er, however, noticed Mu Li and Fu Peiyao and asked in surprise, “Where’s your luggage?”
“I have a Gengar. I had him pack it to avoid checking it,” Mu Li explained. “Do you want him to pack yours too? That way, you’ll also save on checked baggage fees.”
Song Ling’er’s eyes widened in surprise, exclaiming, “There’s such a thing? We have five people’s luggage here. Can your Gengar still fit it all?”
As if hearing someone question him, the little chubby Gengar shot out of the shadow, patted his chest, and gestured: these are all small problems.
Initially, the others were a bit hesitant, but when they saw the little chubby Gengar effortlessly stuff Song Ling’er’s two large suitcases into his belly, what reason did they have to be hesitant?
When traveling, convenience is paramount.
However, while the guests’ luggage was resolved, the production team encountered some problems.
“What’s going on?” Mu Li asked Zhang Ruoyun curiously.
Zhang Ruoyun shook his head and explained, “They said the equipment is overweight, so they’ll probably have to pay tens of thousands more in overweight fees.”
“Tens of thousands?” Mu Li’s eyes widened in surprise, exclaiming, “Do they always do this?”
Zhang Ruoyun explained, “For production teams doing international travel shows like this, the biggest concern is this. Flying from within the country to abroad is fine, but once you’re abroad, it’s normal to spend over a hundred thousand on overweight fees for a single flight.”
Mu Li’s eyes lit up. He looked at Zhang Ruoyun and said with a mischievous smile, “Brother, what do you say about us making this money?”
Zhang Ruoyun immediately understood Mu Li’s idea and asked, “Can Gengar still hold more?”
Mu Li laughed, “Absolutely! My Gengar is mutated; the space inside his belly is not smaller than this airport terminal building.”
Zhang Ruoyun couldn’t help but gasp. He knew what such a Gengar meant.
Very few ordinary Gengar have dimensional space, and generally speaking, a large one might only have a space of a dozen square meters, while a small one can only fit luggage, and even then, sometimes barely.
A dimensional space as large as an airport terminal building—Zhang Ruoyun couldn’t even imagine the value of this Gengar.
He suddenly felt that this young man, barely in his early twenties, was far from simple.
However, he didn’t think too much. Since they were out filming a show, they were first and foremost work partners. If they could get along, they would become friends.
“I think we can do it,” Zhang Ruoyun, not one to strictly follow rules, patted his chest and said, “Let’s go, brother will take you to make some money.”
The others didn’t know what was happening and didn’t pay much attention as Zhang Ruoyun and Mu Li walked towards the production team.
When Zhang Ruoyun and Mu Li arrived, the production team was still haggling with the airport staff.
“Director, don’t bargain with them for now. We have a good idea here. Would you like to consider it?” Zhang Ruoyun walked up to the directors with a sly look and said.
Zhang Ruoyun was a recently popular celebrity, so the directors naturally took him very seriously and immediately stopped.
This was the influence of a big star. If Mu Li had come to ask, the directors would most likely not have bothered with him.
“Director, we have a good solution here that can prevent your luggage from being overweight, and we can even pack all of your luggage,” Zhang Ruoyun explained. “How about it? Think about it?”
