66 Everyone’s Idol, Celebrity’s Troubles

Chen Jinrong exposed Wang Xiao’s thoughts, but he did not continue to mock him. He stood up and tidied his clothes before saying, “Then rest well first. I’ll call the adjutant over tomorrow morning!”

With that said, Chen Jinrong hurriedly left. Wang Xiao suddenly felt a little touched.

Although a week had passed since the Crimson Star invasion, Chen Jinrong definitely still had many things to deal with.

However, he still squeezed out the time to come personally. It was enough to show how much he valued Wang Xiao.

As he was thinking, the door of the ward opened and Zhou Xiruo walked in sneakily.

“How’s it going?”

As soon as she entered, Zhou Xiruo asked in a low voice with a gossipy expression, “I heard from Teacher Chen from your class that that person just now was from the military. He must have given you a lot of good things, right?”

Seeing that Zhou Xiruo did not know that it was Chen Jinrong, Wang Xiao rolled his eyes and said with a bitter expression, “Don’t mention it! Not only are there no rewards, but he even took away the spoils of war!”

“What?!”

Zhou Xiruo exclaimed, “The spoils of war obtained through the battle belong to the lord. This is a common rule of all the lords of the Blue Planet. What right do they have to take away the spoils?”

“They’re not taking it away. They said that there’s something strange about the Crimson Star invasion this time, so they want to study it and analyze the motives of those Crimson Star people. They’ll still return it to me in the future.”

Wang Xiao explained briefly and did not mention the mechanical beast blueprint.

Firstly, Wang Xiao did not like to boast about his plans. Secondly, this was only a verbal agreement between him and Chen Jinrong. If the other party really went back on his word, it would seem like he was bragging.

Zhou Xiruo did not know what was going on. When she heard that the military had only borrowed it to study, the anger on her face dissipated. “If that’s the case, should we make a list of the materials we consumed?”

“That’s what I thought!”

Wang Xiao snapped his fingers, then lifted the blanket and jumped to the ground. “However, there’s something more important now. Go back and change. We’ll go out for a while!”

“Going out?”

Zhou Xiruo looked puzzled. “The doctor hasn’t approved our discharge. How are we going to go out?”

Wang Xiao chuckled. “Go back and change. I have my ways.”

…

Ten minutes later, a young man and woman swaggered out of the hospital. The girl held the boy’s arm and the two looked very close.

“Is this the solution you mentioned?”

Zhou Xiruo held Wang Xiao’s arm and asked softly with a red face, “Are you sure no one can recognize us?”

Wang Xiao puffed out his chest and raised his head with a calm expression. “Don’t worry. There are so many people coming and going in the hospital every day. No one will notice…”

Before he could finish speaking, a young man suddenly ran over. His eyes lit up as he shouted excitedly, “Wang Xiao! It’s really Wang Xiao! You’re such a famous person, yet you still personally came to be treated?”

“…”

Before Wang Xiao could react, a few more young people came over. Then, more and more people heard the commotion and almost instantly surrounded him and Zhou Xiruo!

“Wang Xiao! Can you give me an autograph? I really like you!”

“Isn’t this Beauty Queen Zhou? So you guys… Oh! No wonder Beauty Queen Zhou is willing to be your vassal lord!”

“Wang Xiao! You’re my idol!”

…

Being surrounded by dozens of people shouting, he was shocked. After all, when had Wang Xiao ever seen such a scene? If not for the fact that these people were all smiling, he would have thought that he had encountered a gang of robbers!

“You’ve got the wrong person! We’re Wang Xiao’s classmates! He’s still hospitalized!”

Zhou Xiruo seemed to be experienced. As she shouted, she pulled Wang Xiao out of the crowd. After leaving the hospital, she entered a remote alley and finally relaxed.

At this moment, Wang Xiao also came back to his senses. Recalling the scene just now, he could not help but ask in confusion, “What’s wrong with those people just now? Why do they seem to know me?”

“I forgot to tell you…”

Zhou Xiruo panted heavily and explained with a strange expression, “When the Crimson Star people invaded, in order to show off, they deliberately kept the live broadcast signal. Therefore, everyone saw your performance in the secret realm through the live broadcast.”

“I heard from the students who came to visit that you’re now a famous person in Kaiyang City. Out of ten people you meet on the streets, at least seven of them are your fans!”

“…There’s such a thing?”

The corners of Wang Xiao’s mouth twitched. He never dreamed that things would develop like this.

Moreover, he had sneaked out this time to go to the trading market. If there were so many fans on the streets, wouldn’t there be even more in the trading market?

Thinking of the scene of a sea of people pouncing on him, Wang Xiao could not help but shiver. Compared to appearing in front of others, he preferred to make a fortune in silence.

“No, I have to think of a way!”

Wang Xiao thought to himself. He accidentally saw a vendor selling toys on the street and immediately had an idea.

…

Kaiyang City Resource Trading Center.

The spacious square was filled with people. Although an invasion had just happened last week, the trading center had already returned to its former prosperity.

In the golden area near the teleportation gate, Ma Yunle stood on the box with a proud expression. “Don’t think that you’re suffering a loss. My commission is expensive, but there’s a reason why it’s expensive!”

“Do you know Wang Xiao? He’s the [Beast Tamer Lord] who resisted the invasion of the Crimson Star a few days ago. He’s my best friend!”

“I can get resources that others can’t. The resources that others can get are even better! Back then…”

Ma Yunle was talking excitedly when he was suddenly covered by a sack. Then, he was carried on someone’s shoulder while the person ran crazily all the way. It was so bumpy that he almost vomited his breakfast!

Fortunately, this state did not last long. Just as breakfast surged into his throat, Ma Yunle felt himself land.

After pulling off the sack on his head, Ma Yunle realized that he had been brought to a remote corner at the edge of the square. A man and a woman were standing in front of him. They were both wearing cheap comical masks. It was obvious that they did not have good intentions.

“Who are you?”

Ma Yunle widened his eyes and shouted righteously, “You dare to kidnap me? Do you know who I am?! Wang Xiao, the [Beast Tamer Lord] who resisted the invasion of the Crimson Star a few days ago, is my best friend!”

Hearing this, the girl nudged the boy with her arm. “Is that so? Why haven’t I heard you mention it before?”

The boy did not speak. Ma Yunle thought that the other party was afraid, and his attitude immediately became much more arrogant. “Now you know how to be afraid? It’s too late! Hand over all the resources on you, or else I’ll call my brother to rob you!”

Upon hearing this, the masked boy suddenly laughed strangely. “I’m afraid he doesn’t have the guts!”

“How arrogant! I…”

Ma Yunle sneered. Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. He stared at the comical mask and probed, “Wang Xiao? Is that you?”

Seeing that his identity had been exposed, Wang Xiao directly took off his mask and smiled at Ma Yunle. “Senior Ma, so I’m a bandit in your eyes?”
