The menu items like Mapo Tofu, Sichuan Pepper Chicken, Double Pepper Fish Head, Spicy Pork Intestines were twisted into indifferent and cold words in the system.
"Mapo tofu, spicy and numbing, thank you."
Lu Ban handed the menu to the waiter waiting on the side and behaved normally.
"Let me tell you, the boiled pork slices in this store taste very authentic. Last time I..."
Qin Tiantian was chattering on the side. Lu Ban listened attentively while paying attention to the system text formed by the interwoven patterns on the tablecloth.
5200 Silence Points, breaking the upper limit of the points Lu Ban had ever obtained.
However, after careful consideration, Lu Ban still came to many conclusions.
A mission with [Erosion] difficulty, even if completed mediocrely, would earn you more than 4,500 Silence Points.
The completion rate of career development tasks has reached an amazing level, and the benefits are only a few hundred higher than the difficulty of [Erosion].
Therefore, Lu Ban can think that the benefits of career development tasks are close to between the difficulty of [Pollution] and [Erosion], and if it is for a casual God Chosen, career development tasks can be regarded as extremely cost-effective.
After all, Lu Ban is not a madman. It is impossible for him to choose the highest difficulty every time. Therefore, the average income of career development tasks must be higher than that of completing tasks.
Therefore, Lu Ban felt that his future development focus would definitely be career development tasks.
After all, he loves movies so much.
While waiting for the food to be served, Lu Ban casually flipped through his phone and clicked on his [Last Words]
【Last words】
【inherent】
[Extractable]
He set his sights on the words "can be refined".
The fingers pressed.
【Essence】
【Sublimation and qualitative change】
[Spend resources in exchange for miracles]
【Recommendations】
[Required Silence Points: 10,000 points]
Sublimation and qualitative change are obviously upgrades.
You can't just spend 10,000 silence points and change your skin.
Lu Ban chose the essence.
In an instant, the illusory revolver appeared in Lu Ban's hand.
He saw that on the barrel of the pistol, some words that he could not understand appeared and were engraved. The whole pistol became heavy and real. Then, some qualitative change beyond human comprehension burst out from Lu Ban's cerebral cortex.
As if he was born like this, something in Lu Ban's brain structure changed, and "knowledge" was infused into it and solidified into cognition.
Lu Ban looked at the [Last Words] in his hand and clearly understood its changes.
He looked at the six-round magazine and then looked at Qin Tiantian beside him.
Lu Ban selected one of them and recorded the song "Good Luck Comes".
Taking advantage of the moment when Qin Tiantian was not paying attention, Lu Ban raised the gun and decisively pulled the trigger.
Bang--
An unheard gunshot rang out from Lu Ban's hand, and the silver bullet passed through the cup and directly hit Qin Tiantian's chest, which was strong enough to withstand 30mm armor-piercing bullets.
The bullet penetrated his body, but Qin Tiantian, who had not yet noticed, continued to talk.
"I used to go to college there, and I ate pig intestines rice noodles, hot and sour pork offal rice noodles, and roasted brains every day. There are only a few authentic ones in Jiangcheng... Hey, why is the taste of this restaurant so bad that they even play "Good Luck Comes"?"
The short-haired girl said this and glanced in the direction of the cashier counter.
"'Good Luck Comes'? What 'Good Luck Comes'?"
Lu Ban seemed confused.
"Ah? Isn't it just the song that's playing? It's so tacky."
Qin Tiantian frowned slightly.
She could indeed hear the song of "Good Luck Comes" in her ears. The song repeated continuously, as if it had always existed in the air, unchanging. After hearing Lu Ban's words, she tried to find the source of the song, but found that it did not come from the cash register.
After listening carefully, Qin Tiantian discovered that the sound came from all things.
Whether it was the loud conversation of college students at the next table, or the drinking and chatting of middle-aged people in the distance, the busy waiters, the grumpy chefs, or the TV reporters speaking the local dialect, all the sounds reached her ears and turned into the melody of "Good Luck Comes".
"What’s wrong with you?"
Lu Ban asked, and even this greeting turned into a song that was originally joyful but now sounded even more creepy.
Just as seeing the same word too many times will lead to the collapse of the gestalt of not recognizing the word, hearing the same melody superimposed too many times in a short period of time will make the melody seem weird and unusual.
Now, the melody of "Good Luck Comes" echoes in Qin Tiantian's ears.
"Good luck...come to you...good luck comes to you, good...luck brings...joy and...love...good luck...come to us...good...luck comes..."
It was like a radio without battery, playing distorted melodies.
“What the hell…”
Qin Tiantian felt a little scared. If those horror videos could still deceive her into believing they were special effects, and if Lu Ban was next to her when she met something that wanted to strangle her, then what she encountered now, in the bustling restaurant, under the lights of people coming and going, completely overturned her cognition.
It was as if all safe places no longer existed, and reality and daily cognition were completely torn apart.
“Don’t come over here…”
Qin Tiantian covered his ears, trying to escape from the song "Good Luck Comes".
But even if I covered it, the sound still didn't stop.
Qin Tiantian even felt that the words on the menu he saw had turned into the lyrics of "Good Luck Comes".
Mapo…good luck to you…tofu…good luck…double pepper…good luck…fish head…brings…boiled…joy and love…
It was not until this time that Qin Tiantian reacted.
This song comes from my own head.
“Don’t…don’t…”
She tried to curl up, attracting the attention of the people at the next table.
Lu Ban patted Qin Tiantian's shoulder gently.
"Are you okay?"
Strangely enough, when Qin Tiantian was touched by Lu Ban's hand, the song that had been echoing in his mind suddenly disappeared, as if all the previous sounds were just his own delusions.
She listened carefully, but could no longer hear the high-pitched female singer's voice.
Qin Tiantian looked at Lu Ban with some fear.
"I just heard some singing..."
As soon as she finished speaking, the middle-aged man at the next table's cell phone rang.
"Good luck to you, I wish you good luck, good luck brings joy and love..."
Qin Tiantian suddenly felt a chill rising from her spine, and her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably. It was not until the middle-aged man picked up the phone and answered in a drunken voice that she felt relieved.
After seeing this scene, Lu Ban has fully understood the capabilities of [Last Words] after being refined.
