A Film Crew from North Sea

The next day, I went to work as usual.

In Luo Mei's repair department, I sat next to Fatty, frantically repairing electrical appliances. I repaired appliances to accumulate a lot of Skill Experience to prepare for future combat. As for why Fatty was so obsessed with his work, I wasn't quite sure; maybe it was just because he was too idle.

Noon.

The two clocked out for lunch break, went out into the alley behind the company, and then returned to the office with two boxed lunches, chatting and showing off their food.

"Squeak~~"

The door opened, Xu Hao walked in, carrying a boxed lunch and a bag containing three fist-sized green tangerines.

"Ding Han, Viagra, want some fruit?"

"Fruit?"

The fat man glanced at it and laughed, "You call this fruit?"

"Don't worry about it, it's actually quite high in vitamins."

Xu Hao threw one to each of us.

"Smack!"

I raised my hand and neatly grabbed it. "Thanks!"

"Oh, right, Ding Han."

Xu Hao said, "Has Sister Xiao Bei not come to Huaining City recently? It's been so long since I've seen her."

"Holy crap, sister-in-law..."

I said speechlessly, "Haozi, how many times do I have to tell you? Lu Xiaobei and I are really not in a relationship. This guy just likes to joke around."

"But I can tell she likes you a lot."

I can't be bothered with you.

I started peeling the green tangerines.

"Ding Han!"

Xu Hao sat down at the table with his lunchbox, grinning as he ate, "So, how's things going with Manager Lin from Yuening? It seems like you two have a pretty good relationship, but we outsiders can't see the real story. Tell me about it?"

"What's there to say?"

"Of course there's something to say."

Xu Hao said, "I heard from Fatty that on your birthday, Manager Lin not only attended the birthday banquet, but also gave you an expensive watch and paid the bill. Do you think this is something a normal friend would do? Even if Manager Lin is very rich, he wouldn't spend money like that, right? So what's your attitude towards Manager Lin?"

"Holy crap..."

I lightly tapped the table, frowning, and said, "Haozi, why are you so concerned about my affairs? Can't you mind your own business? What's with this gossip for a grown man? Are you some kind of sissy?"

"I... I..."

Xu Hao blushed as I spoke, "Just say it, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Am I getting anxious?"

I pointed to myself.

"Hmm, a little!"

Xu Hao and the fat man nodded together.

"Oh..."

I sat back down in my chair, composed myself, and said, "I might have been a little too hasty, but that's normal. After all, I'm still young, and youthful exuberance is what it's called, right?"

The fat man gave him a disdainful look.

"Ding Han."

After a few seconds, the fat man smiled meaningfully and said, "Is it possible that you can't accept Lu Xiaobei because of Lin Qingying? The reason you can't accept Lu Xiaobei is because you've always reserved space in your heart for another woman?"

"No... no way?"

For a moment, my mind went blank; I had never thought of this before.

"Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly."

The fat man sat lazily in his chair with his arms crossed, saying, "Who you like isn't something you can decide for yourself, right?"

"You're so experienced..."

I made a comment and decided to end the discussion on this topic.

"Drop!"

Just then, WeChat rang. It was because Milo had added me to a small group chat, and there was another person in the group, Lu Xiaobei.

"This is?"

"Party discussion group!"

Milo smiled and said, "Ding Han, Xiao Bei and I arrive in Huaining City by plane tomorrow morning. Let's have lunch together when we have some free time, and then you can free up your afternoon to show us around Huaining City. I've heard Huaining is a tourist city, and I haven't really explored it much yet."

"Didn't you just release an album recently? Aren't you busy?"

"I'm not busy. After the album is released, I won't have much to do. My colleagues at the company will take care of those miscellaneous tasks. Besides, I need to prepare for the creation of the next duet single, and the company won't assign me any more tasks."

"You're so talented, why would you need to write? A mere duet single, with your talent, Milo, you could write it in a minute, just like Jay Chou wrote a song for Angela Chang in just ten minutes."

"Damn it, stop bothering me..."

Milo sent a "fearful" emoji, as if I were afraid that if I said anything more, I would expose his identity as "Xialuo".

"Ding Han."

Lu Xiaobei finally spoke, "Where do you think the scenery in Huaining City is the best?"

"Maybe, probably..."

I hesitated for a moment. "How would I know? I'm not a street hustler like you. Since coming to Huaining City, I've either been at work or on my way to work. I don't have time to wander around."

She quickly dropped a bomb that made the entire screen buzz and shake.

"It might be East Lake..."

I frowned. "I just passed by East Lake a few days ago. The scenery there is quite nice, and the surrounding facilities are also quite good. If you want to take any outdoor photos, that should be your first choice."

"Um."

Lu Xiaobei laughed and said, "Then Milo and I will go straight to East Lake and find a decent restaurant there. Is it your treat?"

"No problem!"

I sent a laughing emoji, "Order whatever you want, as long as you can eat it all, I can afford it!"

"Wow, you've got money now, even your tone of voice is different!"

Milo said, "Xiao Bei, we have to give it a good beating tomorrow and show this kid how powerful the North Sea Twin Devils are!"

I rolled my eyes. Even the North Sea Twin Devils have shown up.

Time flies, and it was noon the next day in the blink of an eye.

In the group chat, Lu Xiaobei posted the address of a Japanese restaurant in Donghu District, so I took a taxi there directly. It wasn't far, and I arrived in twenty minutes. After entering the restaurant, I was led into a small private room by a waiter.

As a result, only Milo sat there cross-legged, like an old monk about to enter meditation.

"What, are you trying to sever your ties with the mortal world?" I asked.

No, not at all.

He opened his eyes and smiled, "The mortal world is full of beauty... If one cannot experience those beautyes in this lifetime, what is the meaning of attaining enlightenment?"

"Awesome..."

I gave him a thumbs up. "If the setting were different, you might be a heretic tied to the stake."

"Haha~~~" Milo grinned.

Where is Xiao Bei?

"I went to the restroom."

"Oh..."

I picked up the menu, frowned, and lowered my voice, saying, "Damn, I don't understand. This is the home planet of the Star Abyss Civilization, with the Crimson Dragon Country and the Star Maple Federation, so how come there's Japanese food? Japanese food, Japanese food, we've already lost our basic livelihood, what's the point of having Japanese food..."

"Shh!"

Milo lowered his voice and said, "I have researched this. The Star Maple Federation is made up of dozens of states. One of the small states was living a small life before it was destroyed, so even though it was annexed by the Star Maple Federation, the Japanese cuisine culture was still preserved."

"I see..."

I nodded. "The parallel world culture of Star Abyss is truly profound and extensive..."

"That's... that's..."

At that moment, the door to the private room was opened, Lu Xiaobei stood beautifully in the doorway.

Milo and I sat up straight.

Lu Xiaobei now has two choices: whether to sit next to Milo or next to me. That's up to her to decide.

"Xiao Bei, hurry up and order, don't try to save Ding Han money!" Milo pushed the menu towards her.

"Okay!"

Lu Xiaobei picked up the menu and then naturally sat down next to me. Milo sighed and muttered to himself, "What a mess."

After that, Lu Xiaobei started ordering food.

As expected, it didn't save me any money. I ordered a whole bunch of sashimi, barbecue, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and the like. Luckily, Japanese restaurants aren't exactly luxury restaurants, so even if I ordered a lot, it wouldn't cost too much.

With over 900,000 Star Coins in my possession, I felt absolutely secure!

Lu Xiaobei ordered a pot of low-alcohol sake and poured a cup for everyone.

"First toast to Milo's new album, a huge success that has made him famous throughout the country!" I raised my glass and laughed.

"Uh-huh!"

Lu Xiaobei also raised his glass.

Thank you so much!

Milo, his face flushed, said, "Without the help of you two good brothers, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today. So Xie Xie you! This drink, bottoms up!"

He tilted his head back and downed a glass of low-alcohol liquor in one gulp, quite boldly.

After that, dishes were served continuously, and we began to eat.

My stomach is exceptionally strong; I can eat almost anything except alcohol, and sashimi is no problem at all. Even if there are parasites, as long as they dare to enter my stomach, my terrifying "Intestinal Fortification -I" will digest them directly!

I even suspect that even if someone poisoned me, my Intestinal Fortification would still be able to turn the poison into protein and digest it powerfully!

Soon after, they had eaten and drunk their fill.

"What will you say later?" I asked.

Everything is arranged.

Milo said, "After eating, walk along this street. You can take pictures of the street scene and the lake view. Then go to a coffee shop. It's quite artsy. Xiao Bei needs to film a video there."

"Can."

I nodded, got up to pay the bill, and when I saw it, wow, it was over 5600! I felt a little pain in my throat!

"Handsome guys and beautiful girls, let's go."

Milo opened the door to one of the private rooms, and inside were two men and two women, with cameras, lighting equipment, and other equipment beside them. Each of them was wearing a name tag, and the name tag clearly read "Nine Heavens Music Network".

"Wow, you even brought a team?" I exclaimed in surprise.

"Certainly."

Milo grinned. "I'm a big shot now, aren't I?"

"Ding Han, come here!"

Outside, Lu Xiaobei called me.

So he quickly walked over.

As soon as we got outside, she immediately pulled me over, used the Japanese restaurant behind us as a backdrop, and took a picture of us together. In the picture, she was still stunningly beautiful, while I looked a little mischievous, with a faint hint of slovenliness about me.

Streets, lakeside area.

The staff of Nine Heavens Music Network were busy setting up the lighting and filming, but the main character was not Milo, but Lu Xiaobei. There was not a single shot of Milo in several street scenes and lake scenes. What's even more outrageous is that when I was watching the fun from the side, I was also "recruited" by Lu Xiaobei. I stood by the lake and on the street corner, and the staff took several sets of side profile and back view photos of me.

For a moment, I was confused. I'm not a big star, why are you filming me? You should film Milo, he's the real superstar!
