Chapter 68: Chapter 68 Battle Breakthrough Book Friends Group
Time to beg for recommendation tickets, guys from Hao Meng! Show some strength, aaaaaah!
“Heh heh, if Brother Hao has spoken, then of course there’s no issue,” Ren Xing laughed heartily, just when the crew had taken a break for lunch. Ren Xing gestured to the lead actress, “Over here, over here!”
The lead actress, seeing Ren Xing beckoning, smiled and walked over. “Brother Ren, did you call me?” she asked.
“Yeah, my buddy’s treating us to lunch, so let’s go grab a bite,” Ren Xing said, standing up and going over to the lead actress before introducing her to Wang Hao, “Brother Hao, let me introduce her properly, Zhang Muqing, the woman of my dreams.”
“Nice to meet you, nice to meet you,” Wang Hao quickly reached out his hand, “Wang Hao. I was a bit shy earlier since I’m new and didn’t want to interrupt.”
“Hehe, Brother Hao is a legend,” Zhang Muqing covered her mouth and chuckled, “Director Gao said he’ll treat you as our crew’s mascot in the future, hehe.”
Speaking of which, Ren Xing’s taste really wasn’t bad. The girl revealed two tiny dimples when she smiled, subtly beautiful, although she couldn’t compare to the superstar Ice Princess Bai Yaning’s breathtaking beauty, she still deserved a solid 95 points without question.
“Aiya, you’re making me a bit embarrassed,” Wang Hao said with a jovial smile, walking outside, “Let’s go have something to eat first. This floor is full of restaurants, we can pick any. What would you like to eat?”
“I’m easy,” Zhang Muqing smiled again, then looked at Ren Xing, “Brother Ren, what are you planning to eat?”
“Rice, I guess,” Ren Xing thought for a moment and said, “Been busy all morning, need something substantial to fill the stomach!”
“Alright then, let’s go,” Wang Hao nodded in agreement immediately.
The three of them went in search of a restaurant and found one quickly. They took their seats, ordered a few dishes casually, and after the waiter brought over the drinks, Ren Xing asked, “Brother Hao, speaking of which, what exactly happened during your university days? You disappeared completely, and I vaguely heard you went through some tough times?”
Hearing Ren Xing bring this up, Wang Hao let out a soft sigh, took a sip of his drink, and said, “Well, that’s a long story…”
“At that time, I had just started university, you know, playing games with roommates and stuff, it was all pretty good,” Wang Hao took another sip, his voice low, “Then I met my ex-girlfriend.”
“Right, you’ve told me about her,” Ren Xing said, “And then?”
“Then it was just like that, my ex-girlfriend kept wanting me to play games with them,” Wang Hao chuckled, “and it cut into the time I spent with my roommates, I had to revolve around her. Later, she complained I was too poor to offer what she wanted, and we broke up, just like that.”
Wang Hao put it simply, but as an old friend of over a decade, Ren Xing could still detect the faint trace of loss in his tone.
“Damn it, don’t be upset, Brother Hao. There’s plenty of fish in the sea, bro, I’m with you!” Ren Xing raised his glass, “You and I together are awesome. The past is the past, the future is still long, cheers!”
True to childhood friendship, Wang Hao picked up the glass and drank it down, “Cheers!”
The two clinked glasses and drank. At that moment, Zhang Muqing curiously interjected, “Brother Ren, so you’ve known Brother Hao since you were kids? Can you tell me some of your stories? You have no idea, Brother Hao is really popular in our crew right now, even the director pampers him!”
“Ha ha, there’s plenty to tell about that,” Ren Xing laughed heartily, “Back in the day, Hao and I were a duo. Our school even gave us a name, called…”
He got this far, and Wang Hao quickly shouted, “Stop, let’s not bring up that embarrassing name!”
“What’s so embarrassing about it?” Ren Xing guffawed, “Our duo’s name was I Ren Xing, I Wang Ritian! How’s that, cool name, right?”
Wang Hao buried his face in his hand—Damn it, this is my dark history! And he actually blurted it out! Damn!
“Ha ha, ha ha,” Wang Hao laughed, all sorts of frustrated, “C’mon, let’s drink…”
Meanwhile, in the book review section of Break the Heavens.
Invincible Caesar posted a thread: “Newbie reporting in. Does the author have a fan group?”
His post was promptly seen by Long Yi-Mo Wu and swiftly replied to, “Not for the time being, dear. The author’s not here right now; I’ll get him to create one when he’s back.”
After leaving that reply, Long Yi-Mo Wu hurriedly sent a message to Wang Hao—
Long Yi-Mo Wu: “Brother Ritian, what are you up to? Are you there? Reply ASAP if you see this!”
About five minutes later—
Wang Ritian: “I’m eating, what’s up?”
Long Yi-Mo Wu: “The guy who rewarded Alliance Hierarch this morning is asking about the fan group in the book review section. Do you have one? If not, you better create it quick; we’ve got a tycoon here!”
Wang Ritian: “Oh right, totally slipped my mind. Don’t worry, I’ll get to it right away.”
Two minutes later, Wang Hao had made a group and then gave the number to Long Yi-Mo Wu.
Soon after getting verified by Long Yi-Mo Wu, she said, “Brother Ritian, give me admin rights. I’ll help you manage the group when I have free time.”
Wang Ritian: “Okay, thanks a lot.”
After Wang Hao’s fan group was established, Long Yi-Mo Wu posted the group number in the book review section of Break the Heavens, and shortly people began to join.
Initially, only three or four people entered, but then book fans kept sending requests to join non-stop.
Invincible Caesar joined soon after, greeting once he entered the group—
Invincible Caesar: “Hello, everyone. The newbie is reporting in!”
Long Yi-Mo Wu: “Welcome, tycoon, to join our group! Ha ha, you made my day!”
Invincible Caesar: “Don’t remind me, damn Xiao Cangtian, that idiot kicked me out of his group, shit, who cares about who gets my money!”
Long Yi-Mo Wu: “True, the guy’s got issues. I used to read his books too, not anymore.”
Invincible Caesar: “Exactly. Speaking of which, DouDou writes some pretty good stuff, super exhilarating! Initially, I thought I wasted my money, but now it seems like it was well spent, ha ha!”
Long Yi-Mo Wu: “Stick around the group, it’s good to chat when you’re free.”
Invincible Caesar: “No problem. Oh, this book’s great. I’m gonna pull some contacts into the group, make sure to verify them.”
Long Yi-Mo Wu: “Sure thing! Bring them on.”
It didn’t take long for the notifications of new group members to come in—
Long Yi joined the Break the Heavens book fan group.
Jiu Miao joined the Break the Heavens book fan group.
Qiangwei joined the Break the Heavens book fan group.
Luo Mu joined the Break the Heavens book fan group…
