305. The Grass-Growing Period

The storm has subsided.

This massive typhoon, stretching across the Western Pacific, arrived silently and then vanished quickly. In the morning, it was a scene of utter devastation, but by evening, the wind and waves had calmed, and the sun was setting, leaving the water sparkling.

Lu Ban floated on the sea, enjoying the sunshine.

It wasn't that he had any special fetishes, but rather that the temple was located quite far from Pohnpei Island, and Lu Ban didn't know the direction. The previous typhoon had forced Lu Ban to hide underwater, shivering with the fish, so he simply lay there like a corpse.

Anyway, I can Underwater Breathing, so I won't drown under normal circumstances. I can also photosynthesize underwater. After the typhoon passes, I can stay at sea for two or three months without any problem.

As for Feng Yu, she didn't get her clothes wet; instead, she transformed into silver smoke and entered Lu Ban's body.

"The typhoon has just ended, no boats will dare to go out to sea. Are you sure you don't want to swim back?"

Feng Yu's voice rang in Lu Ban's ears.

"Take a break, take a break."

Lu Ban floated on the sea, feeling as if grass was growing all over his body.

It is said that the vast majority of the Earth's oxygen comes not from the tropical rainforests that are cut down by humans every day, which are the size of several large cities, but from the algae floating in the ocean. If that's the case, Lu Ban is now in the most suitable place for photosynthesis.

"And look, the scenery here is so beautiful."

Lu Ban pointed to the setting sun in the distance.

The orange sunset, refracted by the air, lost its daytime glare and became gentler. It gradually sank into the sea, turning the clouds golden, and the swaying waves of the sea were also tinged with orange.

On the other side, on the boundless sea, as the sun sets, the dark starry sky gradually emerges, with the unpolluted Milky Way stretching across the heavens, the stars shining brightly, tranquil and peaceful.

After the typhoon passed, marine life became more active. Lu Ban could see jellyfish swimming and schools of fish moving around. Not far away, a large fish was swimming towards them.

"Uh, is that a shark?"

Lu Ban saw the fish fins bobbing up and down in the sea, getting faster and faster.

"It looks like it, a great white shark?"

Feng Yu remained indifferent, ignoring the fact that it didn't concern him.

In the blink of an eye, the shark had arrived beside Lu Ban.

Its mouth opened, emitting a foul odor, and some leftover food was still stuck to its fine teeth.

Just as Lu Ban was about to be swallowed whole by the great white shark.

A tentacle extends from the sea.

The tentacles bound the great white shark, preventing it from moving any further.

Then, more tentacles entangled the great white shark, dragging it into the water.

Moments later, the sea turned blood red.

thump--

The Hound Laika emerged from the water and handed Lu Ban a bloody fish fin.

"This is shark fin?"

Lu Ban held the fish fin in his hand, looking at the cartilage on it, and a little bit of appetite arose.

After all, I hadn't eaten all day.

Just as Lu Ban was seriously considering whether or not to eat shark fin sashimi, a car horn sounded.

Lu Ban saw a small fishing boat approaching from a distance, its searchlight sweeping across the sea and illuminating Lu Ban's location.

He immediately hid the shark fin behind his back.

"No living thing was harmed during this process."

This is how Lu Ban explained it when he was rescued and put on the boat.

After the storm subsided, flights finally returned to normal, and Lu Ban and Feng Yu arrived back in China in the afternoon.

Feng Yu left first, while Lu Ban decided to go back to the company first.

The Hound Laika transformed into a corgi, wobbling and hopping behind Lu Ban as they returned to the office of Silent Media.

As soon as Lu Ban arrived at the front desk, he heard Qin Tiantian's voice.

"Help me, help me, help me!"

It looks like she gave it away again.

However, Lu Ban looked around the office and saw that many people seemed to be playing games.

While Qin Tiantian wasn't paying attention, he glanced at her screen.

Good grief, they're still forming a team.

"Cough cough."

Lu Ban cleared his throat, finally drawing Qin Tiantian's attention away from the screen.

"Waaah!"

Qin Tiantian exclaimed in surprise, while also feeling somewhat relieved that she wasn't live-streaming.

If a male voice were to suddenly come through the live stream of a beautiful virtual idol, many viewers would probably be completely taken aback.

Of course, some viewers might suddenly get excited, but that would be too strange to discuss for now.

When did you get here?

Qin Tiantian's screen went black; he had been gloriously defeated.

"Let's start from when you scream for help."

Lu Ban replied.

While Qin Tiantian and Lu Ban were Kung Fu, the other employees all committed suicide and quit the game.

"Don't be nervous, just do your job. A balance between work and rest helps improve efficiency."

Lu Ban told everyone not to get too excited.

"Woof!"

Suddenly, Laika wiggled her fat bottom and scurried into the office.

"Wow, what's this? A new employee?"

Upon seeing the dog, Qin Tiantian immediately dropped her mouse and squatted down to play with it.

When Laika saw Qin Tiantian, she jumped around excitedly, circling around her.

"What an adorable dog!"

Qin Tiantian patted Laika's head; it was fluffy and round. Laika then lay down on the ground, turning its belly up.

She's very good at being affectionate.

It quickly attracted the interest of the female employees in the company, and a group of people surrounded the dog, wishing they could pick it up and steal it home.

"Its name is Laika."

Lu Ban said casually.

I wonder what kind of expressions these girls will have after they find out what Laika's true form looks like.

That evening, Lu Ban returned home and looked at the news about the typhoon.

This typhoon came quickly and disappeared just as fast, leaving meteorologists worried. It's already rare for such a strong typhoon to appear near the equator, and this dramatic change in weather is unprecedented. Scholars from different schools of thought are holding differing opinions and arguing endlessly.

Seeing this situation, Lu Ban carefully wrote a letter about Pohnpei Island, the temple, and the Starship and sent it to the Weather Bureau, hoping to help them solve this mystery.

Unfortunately, the weather bureau was probably too busy dealing with the recent drastic weather changes to respond to Lu Ban's letter.

Fortunately, perhaps because the typhoon in the Pacific was too strong, the typhoons that usually visit Jiangcheng in previous years have all disappeared, and the weather is fine. There are no work stoppages or school closures, it's just a bit hot.

At the end of July, Lu Ban's film production was finally completed. He named it "Demon Tide" and prepared to submit it for review.

After the review was completed and the Dragon Seal was obtained, Lu Ban began to contact Thomas Lee, the person in charge of AMC in China.

After sending the sample video over, Lu Ban didn't sit idle. Instead, he worked with the company's employees to produce several trailers. In early August, Lu Ban uploaded the trailers to the Silence Project account.
