Chapter 1167: Chapter 1167: Old Acquaintance

Xu Huo smiled, "Didn’t you want to invite me to join? It’s not too much to understand your background, is it? Besides, I just asked a friend in the Special Defense Department to confirm your identity, how is that betraying you? Unless your identity is fake?"

"Of course not!" Song Xiaohua quickly denied it, then added, "The Special Defense Department’s setup was terrifying; I thought they were going to use me as a scapegoat, so I hurried out."

"Don’t worry." Xu Huo said, "As long as there’s no problem with your identity, you can run away, the Special Defense Department doesn’t have the energy to catch you."

Seeing him tapping on his phone, Song Xiaohua added, "Are you interested in working with me since you have someone investigating my identity?"

"Not at all." Xu Huo added all the selected items to the shopping cart, "Even though Zone 014 hasn’t been gamified for long, the business for the items needed by players to enter instances has already taken shape. Do you want to buy some?"

Song Xiaohua didn’t understand what he meant and looked at him suspiciously.

"Do you know about that disappearing island?" Xu Huo suddenly asked.

"Of course, I do." Song Xiaohua paused, looking at him in surprise, "You’re not planning to go, are you? That place is entirely surrounded by the Special Defense Department. They wouldn’t let outsiders get a share!"

"They don’t get to decide that." Xu Huo said with a mischievous tone, "Even if we can’t get any benefits, we can’t let the Special Defense Department have it easy."

Song Xiaohua was puzzled, "Aren’t you on good terms with the Special Defense Department? They even helped you with checking people."

"That doesn’t interfere." Xu Huo said, "Friendship is personal, making trouble for the Special Defense Department is another thing."

"Are you going or not?"

Song Xiaohua was taken aback by his question, "No, I meant to invite you to join the entertainment company, I never thought of opposing the Special Defense Department. You’re a big shot, you’re not afraid, but I’m afraid of getting into trouble!"

"Then you can leave." Xu Huo waved his hand to dismiss him.

After hesitating for a moment, Song Xiaohua didn’t leave, "If I team up with you, will you consider joining my company?"

"I can consider it." Xu Huo looked up again, "I didn’t expect you to have some professional ethics."

Song Xiaohua forced a smile, "Everyone has some pursuit in their hearts. Before I became a player, I aimed to create global superstars, and now it doesn’t conflict."

After saying that, he thought for a moment, suddenly slapped his thigh, "Isn’t this perfect? We’ll shoot a video journal at that time, the ratings will explode, naturally paving the way for our debut. Current audiences love to watch this! Even if we can’t be players, we can experience the life of real players and get a thrill!"

Xu Huo didn’t object, nor did he agree, he simply said, "Then prepare; we’ll set off tonight."

"Alright, I need to bring more food and water, and buy a few tickets, just in case we need to escape!" Song Xiaohua muttered as he walked away.

After confirming his departure, Xu Huo opened the message from Nie Xuan, "Song Xiaohua died ten days ago."

He was not surprised, having anticipated this, and deleted the message before taking a nap while waiting for the delivery. By evening, Song Xiaohua arrived, excitedly saying, "I’m well-prepared today!"

It was evident; he even got a slight perm.

"There’s one thing you wouldn’t expect," he said proudly, "I contacted through connections to arrange for a private plane, someone agreed to give us a lift along the way, saving us from finding a plane ourselves!"

Adjusting his pink suit, he pointed downstairs, "Let’s go, the car is ready."

The two of them took a car to the airport.

"Let me tell you, this airport is private," Song Xiaohua chatted non-stop on the way, "Our country didn’t allow private airports before, but now it’s different. Those rich people can hire players with money, naturally forming a power structure, with more players, the Special Defense Department has to compromise too."

"But there are still few who can build private airports. You have no idea how many connections I used to get on this plane, sitting on the same plane with top domestic tycoons could pave the way for a bright future!"

"Here we are, look at this airport, low-key yet luxurious, you can see the designer is tasteful!"

"Really?" Xu Huo was not that impressed, "I think every airport looks about the same."

"You don’t get it," Song Xiaohua explained, "The designer of this airport is now a player, that Ban Tao ranked seventh on the most popular player list. It’s said he designed this airport after learning from other game zones, so it looks different from Zone 014’s airports."

"And the Wang family is wealthy; they bought some advanced equipment and modified our plane to make it faster and safer."

The two entered the runway, the plane was already running, with more than a dozen security guards standing outside the plane. Only after they checked Song Xiaohua’s identity were they allowed to board.

Others were also on the plane, including Ban Tao whom Song Xiaohua mentioned earlier, along with Sun Minqi, Wei Yan, and Wang Dafa, who were also on the most popular player list. At the front of the cabin sat a woman in a wheelchair, smiling with a champagne glass, nodding slightly as she listened to Ban Tao and the others — she was clearly the host here.

Wang Xiaohui.

The disabled woman Xu Huo met on the initial review train, who had become acquainted with him by accepting an invitation to the second-class cabin. Before the Black Rain incident, she and Wei Mang visited him hoping to obtain the King Fungus to set up a laboratory, but he refused.

The man standing behind her was Wei Mang, who had survived the Alien attack on the third-class seats but was poisoned. Though he could live normally, his skin was covered with greenish-purple vein patterns, looking bizarre and dangerous.

Xu Huo exchanged a look with Wei Mang, "The situation seems good."

Wei Mang didn’t speak, nor did he blink, but Wang Xiaohui in front of him set down her wine glass, wheeled herself forward, and initiated a handshake with him, "Mr. Xu, long time no see."

"Thanks to the Antidote Fungus you gave to the Special Defense Department, although it can’t fully cure Wei Mang’s poison, it has greatly alleviated his pain."

"You’re welcome; the Antitoxin researched by the Special Defense Department made it possible," Xu Huo said, "I didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence that Song Xiaohua knows you."

"It’s fate then." Wang Xiaohui, no longer the pale and thin figure she once was, smiled warmly and infectiously, "Mr. Xu, please have a seat."

She invited Xu Huo and Song Xiaohua to sit in the front.

"So you all are friends." Song Xiaohua, naturally friendly, introduced himself to Wang Xiaohui, "I’m Mr. Xu’s future agent. My name is Song Xiaohua. Since you’re a friend of Mr. Xu, we’re friends too, aren’t we?"

Wang Xiaohui looked at Xu Huo with a hint of surprise, "Does Mr. Xu want to become famous?"

As players compete based on player rankings after debut, upon hearing this, Ban Tao and others present all turned their attention to Xu Huo.
