A small radio appeared in Lu Ban's hands.

The radio was about the size of a palm, with only a simple knob and no other switches.

The moment he got his hands on the radio, all the knowledge about it clung to Lu Ban's brain like a spider web, becoming information that Lu Ban could never forget.

He understood how to use the Minor Disaster Generator.

First, the radio's knobs have different scales, including natural disasters such as thunderstorms, blizzards, earthquakes, tsunamis, and typhoons.

In addition to these scales, there is also the option of sunny days.

In addition, the text for two scales was worn away, and it is unknown what they were.

When in use, simply rotate the scale from its original position to the corresponding position to create natural disasters within a radius of several kilometers centered on the radio.

Some students might ask, why can such an amazing product be bought for only 80,000?

Lu Ban took a moment to assess the situation and discovered its two biggest flaws.

First, and most importantly, the natural disasters that were triggered were centered around the radio. In other words, in any case, if you wanted to use the radio, you had to be in the center of those violent natural disasters and face the danger head-on.

Secondly, the radio itself needs to be charged, and the Pathway to be charged is by enduring the baptism of natural disasters. In other words, if the setting is adjusted to one of the natural disasters, the radio can even continue to operate indefinitely, constantly creating extremely bad weather in a certain area.

Currently, barring natural disasters, this radio can be used twice without recharging.

"At least ensure that we have a fighting chance when facing a large number of monsters."

He himself is not in much trouble. Storms can replenish water for plants, and lightning can also allow nitrogen from the air to flow into the soil, increasing nutrients for the soil. From this point of view, the grass inside Lu Ban's body may prefer thunderstorms.

Lu Ban put the radio away.

"There will definitely be a shortage of food on the front lines in the Black Forest, so we need to bring plenty of food."

He urgently purchased a batch of canned goods that tasted good and put them in his backpack.

I bought another set of thick clothes suitable for marching in the wild and put them on.

After sending a message to Feng Yu and the others, Lu Ban picked up the crowbar and opened the system interface.

After experiencing the bountiful rewards of the [Alienation] difficulty level, Lu Ban felt that he could no longer accept the small water pipe of the [Erosion] difficulty level. His whole being had turned into the shape of the [Alienation] difficulty level, and he was unable to extricate himself.

Therefore, he decisively chose the [Alienation] difficulty level.

"Speaking of which, how will these differences in difficulty be reflected in the alien realm?"

Lu Ban suddenly became curious.

For example, in games, difficulty mostly affects the monster's health and damage, and sometimes there are differences in ability and type, but the quests in the Silent Land can't possibly change the creature patterns of the Otherworld, right?

Could it be due to the different birth points?

Like this mission, it seems that the Black Tower's deployment in the Black Forest is divided into front and rear lines. Perhaps the [Alienation] difficulty level is on the front line, while the [Mortal] difficulty level is guarding the warehouse in the rear.

Oh, there's no [Mortal] difficulty level. That's fine then.

Lu Ban saw that the lowest level of this task was [Contamination], which meant that as long as one entered the alien realm where the task was located, there was a possibility of being contaminated by something indescribable, making it a rather difficult task.

To be honest, even on Earth, facing a pack of wolves or a herd of wild animals, even a group of well-trained soldiers might not be able to escape unscathed, let alone in a foreign land.

This level of difficulty is reasonable.

The images on the computer suddenly zoomed in, and a chilling wind blew from the depths of the forest, causing Lu Ban to shiver involuntarily.

The howl of some kind of monster rang in my ears, and characters made of ice and snow appeared.

[Enter the Silent Land?]

[whether]

Lu Ban reached out and touched the [Yes].

In an instant, the wind and snow intensified, making it impossible to open one's eyes. Lu Ban felt his hands and feet were frozen stiff, and even his breath turned into frost.

Lu Ban felt his blood rapidly cooling down, and everything around him was covered by wind and snow.

The flow of time in the Silent Land is different from that in the outside world.

The time ratio for this trip is 1.5:1.

[Onward to the Night Country]

The icy feeling dissipated for a moment, Lu Ban heard the monster's howl lingering in his ears, unable to disappear for a long time. Around him, pure white and pitch black light intertwined, mixed with dark red glow.

Lu Ban felt dizzy. No matter how many times he had traveled to other worlds, he could not get rid of this dizziness. It was not just weightlessness, but the feeling of rejection brought about by being detached from one world and entering another.

When Lu Ban came to her senses, she felt a chill on her cheek.

He found himself lying prone in the snow, the warmth of his cheeks melting some of the ice and snow, forming a moist trickle.

Lu Ban did not make any rash moves. He stood up abruptly and glanced at his side.

The person wearing a gray-white cloak was not far from him, also lying prostrate on the snow. They were like statues, hidden in the white snow.

This is a forest, where the towering trees are more robust than any old tree Lu Ban has ever seen. Each tree trunk is over three meters tall, and they are more like towering stone pillars than trees.

Among these massive trees, there were also some smaller trees, which were larger than most of the trees Lu Ban had ever seen. The vibrant life of this forest had not diminished because of the snow cover, but in this silence, something more dangerous seemed to be brewing.

Lu Ban saw that the person next to him was holding a crossbow and aiming it forward. He glanced at himself and saw that he also had a crossbow next to him.

Without much effort, Lu Ban quickly mastered how to use the crossbow.

Some say that the use of crossbows marked the decline of the knightly era, as a crossbowman who had only been trained for a few days could easily kill a well-equipped knight. In retrospect, there is indeed some truth to that.

A flash of inspiration struck him. He stared ahead, and in the dark depths, something seemed to be approaching, carrying a dangerous aura, like a lurking predator.

Lu Ban could feel the earth trembling; something that did not belong to humankind was approaching.

The next moment, Lu Ban heard a low growl.

Surprisingly, the sound came from directly in front of Lu Ban, less than five meters away.

Prior to this, Lu Ban had no idea that there were monsters there.

He saw that it was a creature similar to a wolfhound, but with six legs, like a large worm. Its gray fur was stained with dirt, and its four pupils were blood red. It bared its sharp teeth and pounced on Lu Ban.

At the same time, Lu Ban saw that the swirling snowflakes formed the system's cold and indifferent text.

[Night Country]

[In the year of prosperity and frosty leaves, the Blood Moon is approaching.]

The prophecy of the Observation Hub has come true; the Demon Tide is imminent. The outposts of the Black Tower are ablaze with signal fires, and the candlelight representing civilization flickers precariously in the dark forest.

[In the fortress deep within the decaying forest, an unusual anomaly has occurred. Perhaps more terrifying than the swarming monsters of the Demon Tide is the human heart.]

Pick up your weapon; in the ice and snow, only the warmth of metal brings peace of mind.

[Mission Requirement: Survive until the Demon Tide ends]

[Difficulty: Alienation]
