After cleaning the hair in the sewer, Lu Ban threw it all into the trash can. He then closed the lid of the shampoo and hid it behind the shower gel.
When he came to the computer and turned it on, he saw a folder on the desktop named "One Night Party".
“The rewards for the mediocre level seem barely adequate.”
On the computer screen, the regular icons change to become the system style.
Lu Ban had 4036 Silence Points before, and with the 4800 points that had already been settled, he only had 8836 Silence Points, which was still a little bit short of the essence requirement of [Last Words].
It's not a big problem.
After completing the career development tasks and editing and publishing these video materials, you should be able to earn some points, and the essence is a foregone conclusion.
Lu Ban first checked the video materials.
The material obtained from the mediocre evaluation is indeed of lower image quality, and many perspectives, such as Lu Ban’s first-person perspective, are not many. Most of them are taken from the third-person fixed perspective of the bus’s surveillance camera, interspersed with some close-ups and long shots inside the car.
In general, there are not many tricks to play.
Lu Ban did not see any unexpected scenes like the Lanlanlu doll on his shoulder in the first video.
“It’s not suitable for making a realistic video. After all, the monster has already appeared, and forcing it to be realistic might ruin the atmosphere. But if it’s made into a short movie, the plot seems a bit incoherent.”
Lu Ban thought about it and decided to look for inspiration on video websites.
He now has over 100,000 fans online, making him a small internet celebrity. However, Lu Ban is not proud of this, but humbly learns from others.
He saw several videos of anchors exploring abandoned places, searched for short videos about the supernatural, and even watched some horror escape room explorations and script-killing reviews.
"It might be a good idea to present it in a pseudo-documentary way, reducing the shots of ratmen and fish as much as possible, making them mysterious and unknown, which can better mobilize the audience's imagination and let them fill in the gaps."
"As for the grass and plants, you can use a fixed shot that is more like a movie. These images can make people feel physically disgusted and are direct stimulation."
"The last part about the rat man can be cut out, leaving only the creepy smile of the stone, and ending abruptly."
Lu Ban drew a rough storyboard on paper and soon came up with an idea.
"I should buy a digital tablet."
He stretched and looked at the time. It was half past eleven.
"Let's go downstairs for a midnight snack."
Although only a few hours had passed in real life, Lu Ban had been on the road to the abandoned city for almost nine hours. The rat meat he had eaten seemed to have been completely digested, and he was a little hungry.
Grabbing his keys and cell phone, Lu Ban prepared to take the opportunity to throw the garbage containing wet hair into the garbage pile of the night snack stall to avoid it staying overnight.
But when he came to the trash can in the living room, he found that the clumps of hair in the trash bag were gone.
“…”
Lu Ban turned around and went to the bathroom, and saw that the sewer entrance was empty, with nothing in it.
After checking, he walked out of the house in his slippers.
The moment the door was closed, Lu Ban seemed to hear the sound of water splashing.
He opened the door with his key and walked quickly to the bathroom.
There was no one in the bathroom.
However, the shampoo hidden behind the shower gel was taken out at some point, and the cap of the bottle was even opened.
Lu Ban silently covered it, squatted down, and took a look at the entrance to the sewer.
A bunch of hair was tangled in the floor drain.
Lu Ban reached out and picked up the handful of hair.
Just as he withdrew his hand, Lu Ban saw an eye looking at him from under the sewer drain.
Lu Ban blinked, and the sewer drain was empty again, and even the hair in Lu Ban's hand disappeared.
Tick-tock——
Hearing the sound of water, Lu Ban stood up and turned on the faucet.
After thinking about it, Lu Ban picked up the shampoo, walked out of the house, and put it in the water meter room in the corridor, which is usually where couriers put their packages.
After confirming it, Lu Ban closed the door of the water meter room.
Going downstairs, Lu Ban ordered two skewers of grilled gluten, half a dozen lamb skewers, grilled chicken wings, grilled mushrooms, grilled broccoli, grilled green peppers, grilled pork chop, grilled stinky tofu, grilled eggplant, a serving of egg fried rice and a bottle of iced cola, and had a pleasant midnight snack while scrolling through his phone.
The nights in Jiangcheng are always lively. People eating and drinking in the community have not yet dispersed. At the next table, several men and women dressed as college students are drinking from bottles while eating barbecue skewers, squandering their youth. The TV in the barbecue stall is broadcasting a football match. Several middle-aged men with almost no hair are staring at the screen and even forgetting to eat the skewers in their hands.
Lu Ban enjoyed the delicious food alone. The cool night breeze made him feel particularly comfortable.
Compared with the night in the abandoned city, Lu Ban felt that this world was so beautiful and he couldn't help but feel full of hope for the future.
He saw the advertising slogans on the Coke bottles twisted to form the cold words of the system.
【Career Development Tasks】
[Try a variety of creative methods and test your creative theories. The door to a new world is opening to you! ]
[Task requirements: Post in different sections and get 500,000 likes and 100,000 coins, or other items of equal value]
【Likes received: 0/500000】
[Obtain coins: 0/100000]
[“Next time, for sure!”]
“Five hundred thousand likes and one hundred thousand coins… that’s a bit difficult.”
Lu Ban quickly opened his mobile phone and looked at the likes and coins on his previous videos.
There are two videos with 5 million views, the first one has only about 300,000 likes, and the second one is higher, almost 400,000. The small goal of 500,000 can be achieved with hard work.
As for coins, there is a huge difference, the first video has only over 20,000 coins, while the second video has more, less than 40,000 coins.
This data is very typical and conforms to the growth pattern of videos that suddenly become popular when they are in the spotlight.
Every user can click the "like" button, and can click it countless times every day, so if you click "like" randomly, the data will be higher.
But ordinary users can only get one coin a day, and they can also exchange it for widgets of some websites, name change cards and the like on the Old Video Network, so the number of coins will be relatively small.
When a viewer likes, adds coins, and collects your video, which is commonly known as the triple like, it means that the viewer truly recognizes the video.
On a short video platform like Tomorrow Online, 500,000 likes is also a very good number. There is probably only one video with 500,000 likes in 10,000 short videos. Lu Ban took a look and found that the system's evaluation dimensions for Tomorrow Online are 500,000 likes and 300,000 fans. He currently has just over 10,000 fans on this platform, so it is extremely difficult to reach 500,000 fans.
This time, there is no Song Yunyan to help me, so I have to rely on my hard power.
“…Hey, wait a minute.”
Lu Ban was suddenly inspired.
"I can ask her for help this time!"
