Under Liu Rulan's guidance, Xiao He became very busy and fulfilled.
On the island, Lin Yu'an began to do business openly: everyone could exchange five gold bars for a rabbit token from him.
—This is the exchange mechanism that Lin Yu'an figured out on the island.
In the very center of the island, there is a shop run by the organizers where you can redeem many things with points, including some cold weapons and more expensive items, such as gold bars.
Some players gritted their teeth and used one point to exchange for a weapon in order to protect themselves, but they had no intention of exchanging for anything else in the store.
After all, what they look forward to more than the things on the island is the money they can exchange when they leave! Exchanging things in the shops on the island at this time is undoubtedly showing off your wealth, which will only invite others to plunder you, and you will end up losing both your money and your life.
But this mechanism is absolutely fantastic for Lin Yu'an!
Points on the island cannot be traded directly. Even if points could be exchanged based on wins and losses in battles, the trust between players is almost zero, making this method clearly unreliable.
At this time, the shops opened by the organizers played an important role as intermediaries!
They can exchange points for real goods. They can trade safely without going through the game challenges. It's a ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) cash-on-delivery transaction, honest and trustworthy, absolutely safe!
Lin Yu'an even openly and legitimately did business in front of the island's shops, making it easier for other players to find him and quickly convert their points.
As for how to get his belongings off the island and how to ensure that no one else would have any ulterior motives—that was not a problem for Lin Yu'an to consider.
Sure enough, one player's eyes darted around, and then he suddenly shouted, "There are only two of them, do you think we can't beat them?"
He then drew the knife he had exchanged and charged at the two men.
Following this player's words, the others also became restless. Soon after, several more people took out the weapons they had exchanged and charged towards Lin Yu'an.
Lin Yu'an quickly took a few steps back, revealing Xu Ning behind him: "Xu Ning!"
This time, Xu Ning finally didn't stand idly by and drew his Tang sword.
This Tang sword was a weapon that Xu Ning redeemed for himself after finding a shop. Lin Yu'an had only seen him wiping the blade before, but had not yet seen him use this sword to kill anyone.
The young man moved with lightning speed. As the blade severed the first person's throat, he immediately executed a clean and swift spinning motion, slashing the face of the person next to him.
In an instant, one person clutched his throat and knelt on the ground, while the other was left with only half a face and half a head.
Blood spurted out, and everyone was deeply shocked by his move.
Compared to the death threats brought by the organizers, Xu Ning brought naked bloodshed and violence.
Seeing the crowd retreat a few steps, Xu Ning twirled the hilt of his sword, flicking the blood off the Tang sword onto the ground, restoring the blade to its original luster.
"Don't be afraid of him, he won't last much longer!"
Some were stunned by his actions, but others soon relentlessly charged toward Xu Ning.
Of course, there were also some clever ones who, seeing that Xu Ning and Lin Yu'an were in cahoots, immediately turned their attention to Lin Yu'an.
However, Lin Yu'an wasn't stupid. Seeing that someone was trying to take advantage of the gap to grab him, he immediately grabbed the backpack he had exchanged and started circling around Xu Ning.
Xu Ning showed no mercy, cutting down anyone who came at him, and even those who came in pairs. Some people had exchanged for weapons like longswords, but they were no match for Xu Ning's powerful weapon and were simply cut in half.
Wherever Xu Ning slashed, Lin Yu'an followed, insisting on hiding behind Xu Ning and never showing his face.
Only after all the players who had rushed up to cause trouble had fallen did Xu Ning shake the knife in his hand, still wanting to keep the blade shiny and clean, and then look at everyone expectantly: "Anyone else want to try?"
The remaining players silently took a big step back.
I dare not try, I dare not try, for if I try, I will die.
At this moment, Lin Yu'an swaggered out from behind Xu Ning, feigning regret, and said, "Oh dear, what a pity to have killed so many people! They were all points!"
If you're going to die, you have to be squeezed dry first!
Xu Ning glanced at him sideways and calmly put away the Tang sword in her hand.
The others stared at Lin Yu'an with horror: This guy, please don't become a capitalist, he's too heartless!
"Alright everyone, make way! Those who want to buy cards, hurry up! Cards are limited, first come, first served!"
Seeing the bloodstains on the ground and the young man carrying a knife, everyone swallowed hard, and the previously noisy crowd instantly became orderly.
Thus, the law of the jungle on the island was rewritten by Lin Yu-an!
...
Because Xiao He completed the fight scene very smoothly, they arrived at Wang Xingyuan's film crew half a day early.
The filming of "Sea Fog Tracking" took place in a village next to the sea city. It used to be a fishing village, but with economic development, it gradually evolved into a tourist resort. The villagers gave up their fishing life and opened homestays and provided boats for tourists from the surrounding area to go out to sea.
When Xiao He arrived, he saw Xiao Song from afar.
Xiao Song was the casting director for "The Burning Heart" at the time. He was the one who grabbed Xiao He from the crowd, which led to Xiao He successfully playing the role of Mu Ze. He was also the assistant director of the crew, having worked with Director Wang for many years.
Upon seeing a familiar face, Xiao He greeted him, "Brother Song, long time no see!"
Xiao Song was also very happy to see Xiao He, and quickly ran over: "It really has been a long time. I am really grateful to Brother Xiao for coming to the rescue this time!"
Xiao He waved his hand: "Well, it's not really a rescue. I really like this script, and it's an honor for me to be invited by Director Wang this time."
After a while, Director Wang also came over to greet them personally.
When Xiao He saw Director Wang again this time, he could clearly feel that he had lost a lot of weight.
The last time I saw him, he was a plump and easy-going director, but now his cheeks are sunken, and it's clear that he's been very tired lately.
Nevertheless, Wang Xingyuan was still in high spirits, and his eyes were shining as he looked at Xiao He.
"It's so good that you could come, thank you so much!" Wang Xingyuan's voice was choked with emotion. "I'm so happy to see you here."
He then grabbed Xiao He's hand and started swinging it back and forth like a giant swing. Xiao He almost dislocated his shoulder from his enthusiasm. He quickly gave Sister Liu a wink while subtly pulling his hand away and walking to the other side of Director Wang: "Director Wang, don't get too excited. Let's change our clothes first! We can talk about it as we walk."
Before coming, Xiao He had Liu Rulan do some extra research and learned that Wang Xingyuan had assembled this production team under tremendous external pressure, and even invested the money he had earned from making mass-produced idol dramas in the past, determined to create a hit drama with both critical acclaim and high viewership.
However, reality is harsh.
When Wang Xingyuan switched to making suspense dramas, the investors who were willing to invest in him withdrew their funds and ran away, not daring to invest in Wang Xingyuan's bad films. Actors and stars who had worked with him before also avoided him, unwilling to be cannon fodder in Wang Xingyuan's dramas.
Finally, after much searching and pleading, Wang Xingyuan managed to gather the main character and several other important roles.
The role of Xiao He was originally intended to be played by another actor, but history always repeats itself. Just like when Xiao He went to "The Burning Heart", this actor encountered a better opportunity during filming, so he decisively abandoned the crew and went elsewhere.
Just like last time, it was Xiao He who came to the rescue.
Well... I feel like he and Director Wang are quite destined for each other.
