324. Fool's Wisdom
"The focus now is on finding ways to combat pollution. The task of the Wa Island Grand Shrine is more appropriate. Moreover, I also want to find an opportunity to bury Momiji's ashes under the cherry blossom tree at the Wa Island Grand Shrine."
Lu Ban thought of his own Crimson Crystal.
Completing two tasks at once is definitely more cost-effective!
Thinking about this, Lu Ban felt even more strongly that he should go to the Harmony Island.
If we could grasp the secrets of the Head Miko, we might be able to apply them in reality and wipe out all those strange creatures.
While pondering, Lu Ban opened [Silence Department Store], intending to first purchase [Madman's Knowledge] to gather information.
According to the mission description, compared to the Corrupted Ones, the powerful families who want their trained priestesses to become Head Miko are probably the ones who will really hinder him on the way. Lu Ban is kind-hearted and can't stand seeing others suffer, so he needs to gather intelligence beforehand, identify his targets, and eliminate them directly to prevent them from failing the mission and being beaten, suffering both physically and mentally.
Just as Lu Ban was about to buy the "Madman's Knowledge" item at half price every day, he saw that a new item had been updated below it.
[The Madman's Knowledge (*10)]
[Gain the Madman's Knowledge at once, with at least one instance guaranteed to grant knowledge of a specific alien realm.]
Price: 1000 Silence Points
At the same time, a counter has been updated next to [The Madman's Knowledge].
[8/50]
Lu Ban placed his finger on it and saw more specific prompts.
Each time you use the Madman's Knowledge, you will accumulate Madman's Ramblings Points. When you have fifty Madman's Ramblings Points, you can exchange them for the Wisdom of the Fool of any mutated grade.
The Fool's Wisdom
[alienation]
The remains of someone who received the favor of an indescribable deity.
[Can be used to obtain the truth of a specific otherworldly realm]
[Knowledge containing potentially serious contamination has been thoroughly filtered and is safe to use.]
However, depending on the interpretation of the truth, unexpected events can sometimes occur.
["Wonderful Knowledge"]
[Price: 50 Madman's Ramblings Points]
"God, the Fool's Wisdom!"
Lu Ban wondered if the owner of this the Silent Land was playing a mobile game or was a mobile game developer himself, since he not only had a ten-pull but also a pity system.
However, upon closer reflection, it seems that mobile game designers and the gods of the Silent Land are not much different. They both use various methods to squeeze players and Chosen of the Gods dry, and make players and Chosen of the Gods work in the world they create.
According to the description, the Fool's Wisdom is obviously more advanced than the Madman's Knowledge. And just like the Madman's Knowledge through a ten-pull gacha, it allows you to specify the knowledge you want to obtain. Moreover, this knowledge is obviously more advanced and more corrupted.
In short, this "Fool's Wisdom" is probably from some unfortunate individuals who witnessed the Great Being beings. Their minds were filled with a lot of knowledge that they could never use and that would even kill them, ultimately leading to their sudden death. Some of the pollution from this knowledge remained in their bodies, while the pollution level of the remaining knowledge was reduced, making it safe for people to use.
It's also possible that some of the knowledge contained in "The Fool's Wisdom" is too explosive. Even if it has been filtered by several people, it will still make the person who gets it have a brain explosion. For example, if Lu Ban were to spend some points to exchange for one and want to see the true face of the Great Being sealed behind the door under the church in the Ruined City town of Ruin, his brain would probably boil over on the spot, no matter how many layers of nested dolls there are. It would be ready to be served with minced garlic, chili peppers, and chopped green onions.
Lu Ban trusted his luck, so instead of doing a ten-pull, he first did a single pull at the daily half-price rate.
The skull that appeared in his hand was almost humanoid, but a large piece was missing from the jaw area, which looked damaged. In addition to this, there were also signs of friction and damage on other parts of the skull, as if it had been gnawed by some wild beast.
He looked at the eerie green flames in the skull's eye sockets and immediately crushed the skull.
A bolt of Thunder swirled around Lu Ban, causing his hair to stand on end. Then, green electric light pierced his brain.
"This inheritance came from my uncle, who said he had studied under the Daoist He Ming and eventually acquired this house."
"The buildings in the villa have been in disrepair for many years and have become rotten due to the dampness from heavy rains. Sometimes you may hear strange noises coming from the ceiling or walls, but please don't worry about them."
"Some believe that Daoist He Ming's ascension was a hoax, and that he actually died long ago from a lightning strike. Others believe that Daoist He Ming performed some evil rituals here, summoning something malevolent."
"A rustling sound, a rustling sound, it sounds like something is scratching at the wall."
"I discovered a basement, right beneath the kitchen. There seems to be a large cavity there; perhaps something is hidden down there."
These ramblings and pieces of knowledge spread like lightning through the crevices of Lu Ban's cerebral cortex, giving him a tingling, trembling sensation. Black blood seeped from his nostrils, and Lu Ban felt dizzy.
But that's where it ends.
He rubbed his nose, where the grass growing inside was covered in blood. At the same time, his brain, which had been electrocuted, turned green, quickly smoothing out the necrotic cells.
This level of pollution doesn't seem to have a strong corrosive effect on Lu Ban anymore.
Unfortunately, this "Madman's Knowledge" comes from the ruins of the Ruined City, and it should be information from the "Mad Manor" mission.
In situations like this, Lu Ban would likely make the most of the resources and directly choose the mission in the Ruined City.
But Lu Ban felt something was off about this coincidence. When everything leads to one result, according to general theory, that result might not be what he wanted.
"There's no other way, it seems I'll have to spend more points."
Lu Ban was helpless. Although he could also get a half-price draw every day until he won, since there was a direct ten-draw option, he might as well try it.
Thinking of this, he immediately spent his Silence Points, specified the Harmony Island, and exchanged for the ten-pull of [Madman's Knowledge].
To Lu Ban's surprise, this ten-times event didn't mean he was given ten skulls strung together to become Lu Ban Wujing.
There is only one.
The skull resembled a human, but thick shadows lingered between the eye sockets, even obscuring the Pale flames within.
It seems to present the image of the "Madman's Knowledge" representing the Harmony Island.
Lu Ban immediately crushed the skull.
When the shadow, accompanied by a familiar yet unfamiliar flute melody, flowed into Lu Ban's eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, he suddenly remembered something.
"If you crush one, will ten times the amount of knowledge flow in?"
In the belated moment, Lu Ban's vision went black.
