Second-Phase Task Begins

When Lu Ban left Feng Yu's body, he felt a sense of loss.

He guessed that perhaps babies feel something similar when they are born from their mothers' wombs.

Lu Ban couldn't remember, but he felt he might have.

This is a feeling of insecurity, a sense of loneliness and isolation that comes with having to face the world alone from then on.

Before Lu Ban could have much time to reflect, he heard Feng Yu speak.

"You should get up."

"Oh."

Lu Ban lifted his head from Feng Yu's knees, feeling his sense of security diminish again.

The water glass on the table was pushed by something and moved towards the edge of the table.

Lu Ban naturally placed it back in the center of the table, and at the same time took out the [Weird Amusement Park] to examine it.

The Amusement Park seems to have shrunk a bit.

To be precise, it's not that the range has become smaller, but rather that the size has shrunk slightly.

This is because the Amusement Park now includes something similar to a water park.

The water park features a rafting course and a water Roller Coaster, offering thrilling and exciting experiences.

Lu Ban looked closely and saw that there were some Little Fishmen in the water playing the role of fierce fish-men, which was very lifelike.

The current "Weird Amusement Park" has undoubtedly evolved.

"Is this what an [Ascension] level item is?"

Lu Ban found it unbelievable.

He originally thought that grades like [Pollution], [Erosion], and [Alienation] simply corresponded to the level of pollution contained in the item.

But now it seems that this is not just a rating, but also a description.

[Pollution] Poor-quality products can cause pollution.

[Erosion] Products of poor quality will gradually erode the rationality of living beings.

[Alienation] Quality will lead to the continuous alienation of users.

The word "sublimation" seems to imply the ability to continuously improve and grow.

This is also reflected in the fact that when Lu Ban placed the [Weird Amusement Park] on the [Silence Department Store], he found that the price had changed.

The original price of the "Weird Amusement Park" was over five million, but the suggested retail price has now increased to over eight million.

You can take home 8888888 Silence Points. You won't lose out or be cheated.

The current "Weird Amusement Park" can not only disguise itself and use Cognitive Interference to attract others to enter, but also has a variety of amusement facilities and Time Worm that can steal visitors' time, allowing visitors to enjoy the fun in the Amusement Park forever. It is simply a boon to the entertainment industry.

Lu Ban sometimes only has one thing to worry about.

Although classic films do not fade with time, and many films become more enjoyable with repeated viewings and analysis.

But for most movies, the best part is the first encounter, full of unknowns and anticipation. Watching those characters dance gracefully on the stage of fate that no one can predict is the joy of exploration.

Therefore, Lu Ban always felt that if he could somehow make himself feel like he had never seen these classic works before, and then bring back the memories after watching them, the happiness of the first time and the happiness of repeatedly savoring them would overlap, and these two kinds of happiness would definitely bring more happiness.

Unfortunately, it's impossible.

But the Time Worm might be able to do that.

Each time the audience finishes watching a movie, that portion of time is stolen to allow them to re-enter the theater.

In this way, those touching, sentimental, and shocking moments can be experienced repeatedly.

It's absolutely perfect.

Lu Ban simply doesn't know how to make the Time Worm spew out all this time, so at most, the audience can only sit in the movie theater and watch it repeatedly, never reaching the true ending of the movie.

Placed in the Silent Land, the [Weird Amusement Park] can also serve as a self-defense tool for Lu Ban. If he encounters a powerful figure, he can release the Amusement Park and invite them to come in and have some fun, which can also be considered as luring them into a trap.

Lu Ban then wondered if he could create similar mutated items by collecting the strange objects of this world and combining them with items from other realms.

He decided to give it a try if given the chance.

After putting away the [Weird Amusement Park], Lu Ban glanced at his Career Development Task again.

[Collect Fear and Screams: 10000/10000]

Congratulations on completing your Career Development Task!

Settlement will now commence.

[Mission Exploration Progress: 150%]

[Task Completion Status: Unspeakable]

You have created a new legend in a foreign land, your name echoes in their dreams, but it is not enough. The road ahead is endless. Continue your efforts, let your story become part of the history of this foreign land, and let it be etched into eternity at the dawn of day.

[Gained Silence Points: 50,000]

Settlement complete

Please complete the task to receive the reward.

"Fifty thousand points, not bad."

Some might ask, Lu Ban is someone who can easily sell hundreds of thousands of items and owns goods worth millions, so why would he care about an income of 50,000 points?

Of course I think that's respectable.

Just like a top student who can get full marks on every exam, would they still take the quizzes before each class seriously?

The truth is, if you look down on these small tests, then a top student wouldn't be called a top student. It's precisely because they take every test seriously that they make progress.

The same applies to Lu Ban. If he ignores the rewards of these tasks and deals with them perfunctorily just because he has a lot of Silence Points, then Lu Ban will eventually capsize in a ditch.

Those hostile Chosen of the Gods he encountered in the alien realms were at least close to the second stage, having gone through many missions in the alien realms to reach this point. Lu Ban deeply understood the effort they had put in.

Therefore, he killed these Chosen of the Gods with respect, hoping their souls would find peace.

For example, Lu Ban thought that if he could take the Little Fishmen's remains to the Silence Department Store for evaluation and sale, then eventually his remains would find value somewhere in another realm. Compared to being eaten by Feng Yu, that would at least be a little happier.

"Dinner's ready."

Feng Yu called out and brought out several quick and easy dishes, each of which could be prepared in just a few minutes.

Lu Ban hadn't eaten properly for several days. The Deep Sea fish didn't taste good, so he didn't eat much.

While eating, Lu Ban continued to think about how to promote the fishman's products to various places in the alien world.

As soon as he finished eating and put down his bowl, Lu Ban saw that the three leftover dishes in front of him had become distorted. On each dish, cold and indifferent words from the Silent Land appeared, forming the system's explanation.

[Phase Two Mission Begins]

After the line of text faded away, Lu Ban first looked at the first dish, where the words "Stir-fried Pork with Green Peppers" appeared.

[Soul Calling]

In some places, Soul Calling doesn't represent the supernatural, but rather a form of care and affection.

[Legend has it that when a child is frightened, elders will perform Soul Calling ritual to bring back their scattered soul.]

Because the ritual is eerie and unsettling, most people have a terrifying impression of Soul Calling.

But were those souls that were once called back truly their own?

"After that, he was like a different person, not like a child anymore, more like an old man?"
