Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 208 The Film Crew from Beihai

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 skills and experience to prepare for future combat skills. As for why Fatty was so obsessed with his work, I didn't quite know. Maybe he was just too bored.

noon.

The two checked their lunch break cards, went out to 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, and Xu Hao walked in, carrying a boxed lunch and a bag containing three fist-sized green tangerines.

"Ding Han, Wei Ge, 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.

"Snapped!"

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

"By the way, Ding Han."

Xu Hao said, "Has Sister-in-law 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, "Rat, how many times do I have to tell you? Lu Xiaobei and I are really not in a romantic relationship. This guy just likes to joke around."

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

"I'm too lazy to care about you."

I started peeling the green tangerines.

"Ding Han!"

Xu Hao sat at the table next to him, holding his lunchbox. He grinned as he ate and said, "How's it going with President Lin of Yuening? It seems like you two have a good relationship, but we outsiders can't see the details clearly. 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, President 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 President Lin is very rich, he wouldn't spend money like that. So what is your attitude towards President Lin?"

"I rely on..."

I lightly tapped the table and frowned, saying, "Rat, why are you so concerned about my affairs? Can't you mind your own business? Why are you such a gossip, a grown man? Are you some kind of sissy?"

"me……"

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...it can't be right?"

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, a WeChat notification 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 that 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 anything to do. My colleagues at the company will take care of those miscellaneous tasks. Besides, I need to prepare to create the next duo 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 could write it in no time, just like Jay Chou wrote a song for Angela Chang in just ten minutes."

"Damn it, stop bothering me..."

Milo sent a "fear" emoji, as if I was afraid that if I said anything more, I would expose his identity as "Charlotte".

"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 I came 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 the first choice."

"Ah."

Lu Xiaobei laughed and said, "Then Milo and I will go straight to East Lake and find a decent restaurant there. Is that on you?" "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 let this kid know how powerful the Twin Demons of the North Sea are!"

I rolled my eyes. Even the Twin Demons of Beihai have come out.

……

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 Japanese 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.

"That's not true."

He opened his eyes and smiled, "The mortal world is full of beauty... If one cannot experience those beauty things in this life, what is the point 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's Xiaobei?"

"I went to the restroom."

"Oh……"

I picked up the menu, frowned, and lowered my voice, saying, "Damn, I don't quite understand. This is the home planet of the Star Abyss Civilization, with the Crimson Dragon Kingdom 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 composed 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 Xingyuan is truly profound and extensive..."

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

At this moment, the door to the private room was opened, and Lu Xiaomei 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 toward 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 bunch of sashimi, barbecue, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and the like. Fortunately, Japanese restaurants aren't exactly luxury restaurants, so even if I ordered a lot, it wouldn't cost too much.

With over 90 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 very much!"

Milo, his face flushed, said, "Without the help of you two good brothers, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today. So I have to thank 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 "Gastrointestinal Enhancement-I" will digest them directly!
I even suspect that even if someone poisoned me, my enhanced digestive system 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.

"It's all arranged."

Milo said, "After eating, walk along this street and you can take pictures of the street scene and the lake view. Then go to a coffee shop. That coffee shop is quite artsy. Xiao Bei needs to shoot 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."

Milorad 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 have a team?" I exclaimed in surprise.

"of course."

Milo grinned: "I'm a big shot now, right?"

"Ding Han, come here!"

Outside, Lu Xiaobei called me.

So he walked over quickly.

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 and had a faint air of arrogance about me.

……

Streets and lakeside area.

The staff of Jiutian 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 taking pictures of me? You should take pictures of Milo, he's the real superstar!
