446. Time Waits for No One
Lu Ban ultimately failed to contact the military.
After all, people involved in these situations always face various risks.
Who knows, one day I might be censored by the Silent Land because of this.
He thought about it and realized that artillery relies on the power of gunpowder, and so does blasting. Since artillery can plow the land, blasting operations should be able to do the same.
As a compromise, he decided to hire a demolition team to solve this problem.
At the same time, Lu Ban's Career Development Task were also successfully completed.
Ten million positive reviews are neither a lot nor a lot for him.
With ten million positive reviews, it means that at least ten million viewers watched his live stream, and Lu Ban's fame has become a household name.
But with only over ten million positive reviews, it means that probably less than one percent of the world's population watched his live stream, and not enough people have been affected.
Time waits for no one.
Lu Ban had to race against time.

Settlement complete
Seeing this, Lu Ban felt something was wrong.
There are two main points.
Firstly, although the mission exploration level reached an indescribable 120%, it only gave 30,000 Silence Points, while Lu Ban's previous Career Development Task with the same exploration level clearly gave him 50,000 points.
Did the system steal my points?
Lu Ban felt that he had already worked so hard, yet the system was still making a profit in the middle, which was really outrageous!
However, he then thought that perhaps it was because he had already achieved great success that such a level of accomplishment was no longer significant.
It's impressive for a new director to make a movie that grosses 500 million, but if an internationally renowned director makes a movie that grosses 500 million, then it's a flop.
However, Lu Ban felt that he had already almost reached the top of the world's entertainment and film industry. If he switched to urban entertainment novels, as long as he wasn't poisoned to death by his own family's wine, it wouldn't be considered a bad ending. It would be difficult to break through to the next level.
The rewards from future career development tasks may decrease, becoming mere "mosquito bites".
After all, compared to the [Twisted Mask of Madness] which costs 1.7 million Silence Points, even 50,000 Silence Points are just a drop in the ocean.
In that case, how can Lu Ban gain more satisfaction from making movies?
He set aside this question for the time being, because there was another matter that needed his attention.
Under normal circumstances, after completing the Career Development Task, the Silent Land will offer several mission options to start a new round of exploration.
But now, Lu Ban didn't see anything like that.
The quest chain seems to have broken.
"Is it because I haven't completed any side quests that I'm stuck in the main storyline?"
Lu Ban looked down and saw the system's cold and indifferent text appear in his field of vision again.
Please unlock the next stage of the mission.
[Unlock condition: Participate in other Chosen of the Gods ' missions and complete the mission objectives]
[Unlock condition: Leave your own mark in any foreign land]
[Unlock Reward: The next stage of the Inherent Skill Essence is now available]
[Unlock Rewards: Next Stage of Missions Available]
"The next phase of the mission?"
Lu Ban found it strange because he wasn't sure which aspect of "next stage" was being referred to.
Is the mission more difficult, or is it closer to the core of each alien realm?
"Participating in missions for other Chosen of the Gods should be like when I invited Old Cui and the others—we should wait for them to send mission invitations, right? In that case, they should have completed this step a long time ago. Are they progressing faster than me?"
Lu Ban pondered for a while and realized that this didn't make sense.
This unlock condition might be like achievements in many games; whether you do it or not, it's there, but once you complete it, an achievement will pop up, regardless of the order in which you do it.
The reason he hadn't received it before might be because Old Cui and Xiya were too slow and hadn't received the task of inviting other Chosen of the Gods.
As for leaving one's mark in any foreign land, Lu Ban didn't quite understand what this operation meant. He could only think of it as being remembered by history and becoming a pivotal figure in this foreign land. Since he had already completed this task, he guessed that it would at least be to the extent of being recorded in history.
In addition, the next phase of the premium release is also very important.
Lu Ban's current [Last Words] are the result of three refinements, which already grants him extraordinary power. After the third refinement, the refinement list turns gray. Lu Ban originally thought he couldn't go any further, but now it seems he will have to reach the next stage to unlock it.
Lu Ban and the cat both wanted to know what the effects of the refined [Last Words] would be.
"So, I just need to wait for them to give me the task?"
Lu Ban felt that waiting idly wasn't a good idea, so he decided to find a way to blow up the Amusement Park first.
He contacted the engineering team that had previously demolished the Nanhua Private Renji Hospital, and after running around everywhere, he finally obtained the qualifications to develop the area where the Amusement Park was located. Taking advantage of the clear weather before the Lunar New Year, he carried out the demolition of that area.
The demolition team leader didn't understand why Lu Ban wanted to bomb the ground flat, but he did his job as long as he got paid.
A series of loud explosions were followed by a thunderclap on the flat ground along the Ling River.
When the smoke cleared, everything seemed to return to normal.
However, a day later, at night, Lu Ban saw the Amusement Park again.
This time it was even more dilapidated and eerie, and the songs playing were increasingly bizarre and out of tune.
"We need to go and take a look."
Lu Ban went to the Library to investigate the events and legends related to the Amusement Park, but he couldn't find any corresponding information.
I did find a few reports related to Jiangcheng Mountain.
The gist is that there were many disputes among the villagers of Jiangcheng Mountain back then, and there was even a collective fight that resulted in some injuries and deaths. Later, everyone moved away from the mountain, and there was no further news.
The report did not mention any children being involved in the incident.
"So, where is that child from?"
Lu Ban initially thought the two children were some kind of strange entity associated with the Amusement Park, but now it seems there might be another story behind them.
In addition, there may still be some things left in the original villages and towns of the Ruined Capital Town.
This area is truly a place of great feng shui.
Thinking of this, the fonts on the newspaper documents from more than a decade ago suddenly distorted before Lu Ban's eyes.
You have received a mission invitation from the Chosen of the Gods.
