Under Liu Rulan’s adjustments, Xiao He was extremely busy and yet very fulfilled in the days that followed.
On the island, Lin Yu'an openly started doing business: anyone could trade five gold bars to him for a Rabbit card.
—This was the exchange mechanism Lin Yu'an had figured out on the island.
At the very center of the island was a shop run by the organizers, where points could be exchanged for many items, including some cold weapons and other relatively valuable goods, such as gold bars.
Some players, to protect themselves, gritted their teeth and used one point to exchange for a weapon, but they had no intention of redeeming the other items in the shop.
After all, compared to island goods, what they were really looking forward to was the money they could exchange when leaving the island! Redeeming things in the island shop at this time was undoubtedly a display of wealth, and it invited others to plunder you, ending in losing both people and possessions.

But this mechanism was absolutely perfect for Lin Yu'an!
Points on the island could not be traded directly. Even if one could swap points through match wins and losses, trust among people was basically zero, so that method was obviously unreliable.

At a time like this, the organizer-run shop served as an important intermediary!
They could convert points into physical goods, bypassing game challenges, enabling safe trades: payment in one hand, goods in the other, honest and secure.
Lin Yu'an even brazenly set up business right at the shop’s entrance on the island so other players could find him easily and quickly complete point conversions.
How to take the items off the island and how to ensure others wouldn’t get greedy and steal them — those were not Lin Yu'an’s concerns.

Sure enough, one player’s eyes darted, and he suddenly shouted, “There are only two of them, can’t we beat them?”
Then he was the first to draw the dagger he had redeemed and charge at the two.
Following that player’s move, others also began to stir. Soon several people took out their exchanged weapons and rushed toward Lin Yu'an.
Lin Yu'an hurriedly stepped back a few paces, revealing Xu Ning behind him. “Xu Ning!”

This time Xu Ning finally did not stand idly by; he drew the Tang sword in his hand.
This Tang sword was the weapon Xu Ning had redeemed for himself after finding the shop. Lin Yu'an had only seen him wiping the blade before, and had not seen him use it to kill —

The young man moved like lightning. When the blade cut the first man’s throat, he immediately performed a clean, sweeping turn and sliced a face on the next one.
In an instant, one man clutched his throat and collapsed to his knees, another was left with only half a face and half a skull.
Blood sprayed out, and everyone was deeply shocked by his move.
Compared to the organizers’ implied threat of death, Xu Ning delivered raw bloodshed and violence.
Seeing the crowd retreat several steps, Xu Ning flicked the sword’s hilt, and the blood from the Tang sword flung to the ground, the blade regaining its shine as if new.
“Don’t be afraid of him, he won’t last long!”

Some were stunned by his action, but very soon others doggedly charged at Xu Ning.
Of course, a few clever ones, seeing Xu Ning and Lin Yu'an were on the same side, immediately turned their attention to Lin Yu'an.
But Lin Yu'an was no fool. Seeing people trying to seize the opening to grab him, he immediately picked up the backpack he had exchanged and circled around Xu Ning.
Xu Ning showed no mercy. He cut down one who came at him, struck down a pair who attacked together. Even those who had exchanged long knives were no match for Xu Ning’s fearsome weapon; they were treated like scraps and split apart.
Wherever Xu Ning cut, Lin Yu'an followed, insisting on hiding behind Xu Ning and never exposing himself.
Only after all the players who had rushed up to cause trouble were all down did Xu Ning, still wanting more, casually shake the sword and continue polishing the blade’s sheen. Then he looked at everyone expectantly: “Anyone else want to try?”

The remaining players silently took a big step back.
No one dared try, no one dared try — try and you die.

Only then did Lin Yu'an swagger out from behind Xu Ning, putting on an exaggerated show of regret: “Ah, killing so many people, what a pity! All those points wasted!”
If you’re going to die, you might as well squeeze out some profit first!
Xu Ning glanced at him sideways, unhurriedly sheathing the Tang sword.
Everyone else stared at Lin Yu'an in horror: that guy, please don’t become a capitalist, he’s so miserly!

“All right, everyone, make way. If you want to buy cards, hurry up! Cards are limited, first come first served!”
Seeing the blood on the ground and the young man holding the sword, everyone swallowed involuntarily, and the previously noisy crowd instantly became orderly.
Thus, the island’s Law of the Jungle was rewritten by Lin Yu'an!

Because Xiao He finished that fight scene segment very smoothly, they arrived at Wang Xingyuan’s crew half a day earlier than scheduled.
The filming for Sea Fog Pursuit was in a village beside Haishi. It had once been a fishing village, but as the economy developed it slowly became a tourist resort. The original villagers had given up fishing and started running homestays and boat tours for nearby visitors.

When Xiao He arrived, he saw Xiao Song from afar.
Xiao Song was the casting director for Heart of Embers. He had been the one to grab Xiao He out of the crowd back then, which allowed Xiao He to successfully play Mu Ze. He also served as an assistant director in the crew, having worked with Director Wang for years.
Seeing a familiar face, Xiao He greeted proactively: “Song-ge, long time no see!”
Xiao Song was very happy to see Xiao He and jogged over: “It really has been a long time. Thank you so much, Xiao-ge, for coming to save the day this time!”
Xiao He waved his hand: “Hey, it’s not really saving the day. I like the script a lot, and being invited by Director Wang is my honor.”
After a while, Director Wang personally came over to welcome him.

Meeting Director Wang again, Xiao He could clearly see that he was much thinner than before.
The last time he had seen him, Wang Xingyuan had been a well-fed, prosperous-looking director; now the sides of his cheeks had noticeably sunken, showing how exhausted he had been lately.
Nevertheless, Wang Xingyuan still looked full of spirit, and his eyes shone as he looked at Xiao He.
“You coming is wonderful, truly, thank you!” His voice was a little choked, “Seeing you here makes me so happy.”
He clasped Xiao He’s hand and shook it back and forth like a pendulum, almost wrenching Xiao He’s arm. Xiao He quickly signaled Sister Liu with his eyes, discreetly pulled his hand free, and moved to the other side of Director Wang: “Director Wang, don’t get too excited. Let’s change clothes first. We can talk while walking.”
Before coming, Xiao He had asked Liu Rulan to investigate further, and learned that Wang Xingyuan had formed this crew under enormous external pressure, even investing the money he had earned from earlier formulaic idol dramas into this production, determined to create a hit that would succeed both in reputation and traffic.

However, reality was harsh.
When Wang switched to making a suspense drama, the investors who once backed him pulled out, unwilling to put money into Wang Xingyuan’s risky project. Actors who had collaborated with him before also avoided it, refusing to be cannon fodder for this show.

In the end Wang searched and begged for a long time before assembling the lead and a few other important roles.
Originally Xiao He’s role had been assigned to another actor, but history repeated itself strangely: just like when Xiao He went to Heart of Embers, that actor left mid-shoot for a better opportunity and abandoned the crew.
And, as before, Xiao He came to save the day.
How to say it… it felt like he and Director Wang were somehow fated.
