"???"
When Lu Ban saw the status of his mission, he was at a loss for words for a moment.
It turns out that there are other evaluations above "perfect".
[Unspeakable] What is going on?
However, the rewards are indeed quite generous.
Previously, Lu Ban had a 100% completion rate [Perfect] evaluation, but only received 10,000 Silence Points. This time, he exceeded the target by 20% and directly received 50,000 Silence Points.
Although the rewards for the basic tasks may be different, the improvement is still exaggerated.
Some people may find it strange that would Lu Ban, a chosen one who earns hundreds of thousands of silence points on a mission to an exotic land, care about a mere 50,000 silence points?
This means you don't understand Lu Ban.
He is a man who has billions of dollars in assets but still chooses to ride a bicycle. Hardship and simplicity are engraved in his DNA. With 50,000 silence points, he can buy a lot of things!
"But is there a better evaluation than [Indescribable]?"
If I could achieve the highest box office in film history, would that allow me to achieve a higher level of accomplishment?
Lu Ban was a little curious.
After receiving the reward, he was one step closer to unlocking the next stage of the store. He estimated that one or two more difficult tasks would be enough to open a new stage of the store. He wondered what he would be able to buy.
He decided to take a look at the next branch of the task first.
After learning part of the truth about the Land of Silence, Lu Ban became more and more curious about the stories behind these exotic lands. So far, he has not really touched upon the ways in which these worlds resist pollution.
He felt that this was extremely critical and had great reference value.
In front of Lu Ban, cold and indifferent system text outlined three windows on the wall.
Lu Ban looked towards the first window and saw a sky full of yellow sand. The hot and dry air caused the moisture on the surface of his skin to evaporate suddenly. He was irritated by the hot wind and tears came out of his eyes.
In the window, the sand was covered with winding and rugged words as if a worm was crawling across it.
【Welcome to the sky above the station】
[There are also warm beds and hot wine between the yellow sand and the Gobi Desert]
[There are many small human settlements in the wasteland. These places usually have only one or two buildings and a population of less than ten people. They survive by hunting insects and using water sources hidden underground.]
[Compared to the safe city-states, these settlements called post stations are obviously not happy travel destinations]
[You come to an inn in the wilderness. A tragedy happened here decades ago. No one lives here now. But you meet a strange and uninvited guest here. The long night is coming. Can the truth usher in the dawn?]
[“I seemed to see something in the crack of the wall. It was, it was… an eye!!!”]
"The wasteland is not good."
Lu Ban looked at it and shook his head.
Not to mention whether the queen insect in the desert who wanted to give birth to a nest of insects with him would immediately run over and eat him up after smelling Lu Ban's scent, a building in the desert like this, with both a tragedy and uninvited guests, is simply the best location for a homicide.
Oh, the murder case is child's play. If there are actually monsters, bugs, or even unspeakable evil gods living in the post station, then it would be a disaster.
What's more, Lu Ban has no demand for materials in the wasteland now, he just used to earn points.
Since the purpose is to gain points, why not gain materials as well?
He is a very pragmatic person.
After closing this window, Lu Ban looked at the second window.
The window was swaying in the wind and rain, reflecting the appearance of a manor located on a cliff.
There were lightning and thunder, and candlelight flickered in the gloomy manor. It seemed that some strange creatures lived in it.
Outside the manor is a withered forest, and in the distance, large ruins look like tombstones, stacked one on top of the other.
The silent lightning outlined the system's cold and indifferent instructions.
【Crazy Villa】
[There are always storms surrounding this place. This is a curse, but also a blessing]
[In the abandoned city, there are some places that are different from others, such as this Stormy Mountain Villa. Legend has it that it was built under the supervision of Taoist Heming. In the few years before this immortal ascended to heaven, he lived in seclusion here and devoted himself to practicing Taoism.]
[Until Taoist Heming used heavenly thunder to transcend the tribulation and ascend to heaven, the villa was damaged by a thunderstorm. Since then, heavy rain has always accompanied the villa, forever]
[Your friend received an invitation letter from the owner of the villa. As an escort, you went here with him. As for the purpose of the party, no one knows.]
[“Some people say that this room hides the secret of Heming Taoist’s ascension, but let me tell you, hey, this is a monster!”]
"Heming Taoist, the Wasted City!"
Lu Ban's eyes lit up.
The essence material needed for his [Last Words] includes [Legend of Heming's Ascension] from the Ruined City, and this Stormy Villa is the place where Taoist Heming ascended to heaven. It is very likely that it has a collection of corresponding books. Maybe the owner of the villa is Taoist Heming's disciple or something.
Moreover, there was another friend on the way to the abandoned city. Lu Ban thought that maybe he could find Trist to go with him. Relying on his [Simulated Sunfire], when in doubt, he could just destroy the entire villa after getting [The Legend of Crane Ming's Ascension].
The more he thought about it, the better Lu Ban felt this mission was.
As for what the owner of the villa wants to do, who cares!
However, thinking that it would be a waste if he didn't look, Lu Ban shifted his gaze to the third window.
He heard the birds singing.
Lu Ban looked out of the window and felt the spring in the air. He also saw falling petals. It seemed to be a street with houses scattered around. On the ground paved with blue bricks and stones, the fallen flowers formed a carpet.
[No War in Spring]
[The shrine maiden of the Wajima Taisha Shrine is about to step down, and a new shrine maiden will inherit her mantle and bathe in the pure fire]
[However, not every shrine maiden can enter the shrine and visit the gods, and competition is everywhere]
[A shrine maiden known as a genius is preparing to travel across the ocean to Hedao Island. She seems to exist just to become the chief shrine maiden, the shrine maiden among shrine maidens. However, the chief shrine maiden means power. Family and political disputes can sometimes influence the judgment of the gods. And geniuses should not appear sometimes.]
[You have accepted the mission of protecting the miko to the island of He. Along the way, the human heart is more dangerous than the filth. On this long journey, only the falling cherry blossoms and the clear sea water will not betray you.]
[“I have forgotten my original thoughts, and I am left with nothing but my body. Could it be that I am your legacy?”]
“It’s a bit confusing.”
After reading this mission, Lu Ban, who had already made up his mind to go to the abandoned city, began to waver again.
The island also has the materials for Lu Ban's [Last Words] essence, and this mission will be related to the shrine maiden at first glance, so Lu Ban's chance of getting the [Lucky Amulet] will be very high.
Moreover, this mission is directly related to the Hedao Taisha Shrine. The shrine maiden he is escorting seems to have a good chance of becoming the chief shrine maiden. Then, Lu Ban should be able to get a glimpse of how Hedao resists foreign pollution.
After struggling for a long time, Lu Ban finally made a decision.
