Jiangcheng's Dedicated Pioneer

The hot pot restaurant where Lu Ban and his friends ate was on the back street of Jiangcheng University. It was only just after New Year's Day, and the university hadn't finished its final exams yet, so there were still many university students on campus.

A cheap and delicious hot pot restaurant attracts many college students.

These college students pursue fashion and keep up with trends, so naturally they've seen the latest popular movies and follow hot topics.

They had seen most of Lu Ban's movies.

Then someone recognized Xiya.

"Miss Xiya, uh, could you sign this for me?"

Another girl took out her notebook, which she usually used for applying tape, and handed the pen to Xiya.

Xiya didn't understand why these people wanted her autograph. She thought for a moment and prepared to raise her hand.

"Stop!"

Lu Ban stopped Xiya from using some kind of large-scale explosive magic to wipe out the popular hot pot restaurant, and he offered an explanation.

"A signature is an expression of admiration and respect for you; you can simply sign your name."

"I see. I thought they were going to use my name to curse me."

Xiya nodded, then wrote her name in the notebook with a pen.

They used the language of the Night Country, which was very ornate and flashy.

Anyway, nobody can understand those artistic signatures, as long as the name looks similar every time it's signed.

"So you were planning to use an offensive spell just now, weren't you?"

Lu Ban couldn't help but complain.

"As a mage, it is reasonable for me to use some means to incapacitate a large group of unknown people when I am surrounded."

Xiya took it for granted.

Qin Tiantian stared in disbelief.

Even the college students next to them were stunned.

Is this a discussion about the plot?

Or did they start acting it out on the spot?

Miss Xiya's character is a mage, so she has to maintain this kind of behavior at all times.

As expected of director Lu Ban, this is incredibly professional!

Once Qin Tiantian accepted this premise, she felt that Xiya was an extremely dedicated actress.

As a result, queuing for signatures wasted more than an hour.

After returning home, Lu Ban casually glanced at Weibo and saw that someone had already uploaded the video online, sparking a lot of discussion. He didn't have time to watch it because there were more pressing issues to address.

"Aren't we going to do that mission tonight?"

Xiya sat on Lu Ban's sofa, crossed her arms, and asked.

"Shouldn't we investigate this first?"

Lu Ban glanced at Feng Yu.

"Tell me about the situation."

Feng Yu held the milk tea in her hand and took a sip.

Qin Tiantian has been sent home. For her, it's time for adults now; the good baby should stay home.

"First of all, it was an Amusement Park located on the banks of the Ling River."

Lu Ban recounted everything he had seen and what his employees had encountered.

Xiya listened very attentively.

After hearing what Lu Ban said, she was the first to raise her hand.

Is there a problem?

Lu Ban looked over.

"This is so delicious, can I have another one?"

Xiya had finished her 70% sweetened ice cream milk tea and looked at Feng Yu's half-finished milk tea with envy.

"Can I order two drinks for delivery? Is two drinks enough?"

Lu Ban took out his phone.

"Enough, enough. I'm not some unrestrained, decadent woman who can't extricate herself from her love of food."

Xiya said confidently.

At the same time, he reached out and grabbed a skewer of fried food from a lunchbox on the table, then popped it into his mouth with a crunching sound.

"Let's order three drinks."

After Lu Ban placed the order, Feng Yu put down the milk tea.

No one noticed that when she put down her milk tea, the liquid in the cup suddenly decreased by a sip.

"This is indeed bizarre, and it must be a mature bizarre phenomenon with its own rules."

Feng Yu explained.

"The reason you can't find it in Jiangcheng's old newspapers is because this strange phenomenon only recently appeared in Jiangcheng. Before that, it could have been anywhere in the world."

"Oh, so I need to check for incidents related to Amusement Park in other places."

Lu Ban thought about it and realized that made sense.

"However, even if you investigate, the information you gather will be limited. Few people can survive an anomaly of this level. Most of the eyewitness reports you leave behind are superficial and lack insight into the core rules."

Feng Yu picked up the milk tea, feeling that there seemed to be a little less in the cup. She glanced at Xiya, who was happily eating fried skewers, frowned slightly, and took another sip.

"You will experience all the rides, which is very difficult. If it were just a single ride, you could probably complete it safely as long as you follow certain rules. But all the rides involve several rules and are more dangerous. More importantly, what you see is not necessarily all of the rides."

Feng Yu explained.

"From what you see in the Amusement Park, there are Merry-go-round, Ferris wheels, and Roller Coaster, but in reality, there may be more than just these in Amusement Park. Some attractions are not normally visible and we need to trigger them."

That's true.

Lu Ban nodded.

He saw that the fried skewers on the table had been completely devoured by Xiya in an instant.

In the previous [Horror Cinema], Lu Ban was unable to eliminate it; he merely escaped.

From this perspective, the world is much more dangerous.

Once the anomaly's health bar is lit up, it becomes a matter of balance for the Chosen of the Gods.

The strange thing about this world is that it never displays a health bar.

No matter how high the damage is, there's nothing you can do against an indestructible background.

In the midst of the discussion, the doorbell rang.

Lu Ban Door Opening, brought back milk tea, and fed it to Xiya while continuing his discussion with Feng Yu.

Late at night, close to eleven o'clock, Feng Yu stood up.

"Your mission has no time limit, so you don't need to rush to complete it. It will be safer to go after you have gathered enough information. It's getting late, so I'll head back now."

Feng Yu put on her coat and prepared to leave. She glanced at Xiya and Lu Ban, who had finished their milk tea, and suddenly frowned.

Where is she staying tonight?

"I'll sleep here."

Xiya answered matter-of-factly.

"?"

Feng Yu glanced at Lu Ban, as if to say, "You've made something of yourself."

"We've always slept in the same room before, and there haven't been any problems."

Xiya added another sentence.

Feng Yu sat down.

"It's too late today, I'll stay here tonight."

Upon hearing Feng Yu's words, Laika, the Corgi who had been dozing in the living room, suddenly woke up and circled around Lu Ban as if she had a nightmare.

The empty milk tea cup on the table was pushed to the ground by something.

"No, no, it's not that bad."

Lu Ban was afraid that she would scare her roommate, so she made the suggestion.

"Let her sleep at Qin Tiantian's house, it's all my house anyway."

"Let Xiya's snoring wreak havoc on Qin Tiantian, "Lu Ban thought.
