Lu Ban quickly realized that the figure was himself.

He was sitting in a movie theater, holding a large cup of Coke and popcorn, and sitting around some familiar people.

There seemed to be a movie playing on the big screen. Lu Ban couldn't understand it, but he could only feel that it was quite exciting.

However, when the movie reached the most exciting part, the people around Lu Ban stood up one by one and left their seats.

First came the familiar employees of Silent Media, then the people from the cinema, two policemen, and finally Qin Tiantian and Feng Yu.

These people left one after another, and in the end, only Lu Ban was left sitting in the movie, watching the movie that would never end.

The firelight dimmed, and some impulse pulled Lu Ban down, causing him to take out another match and light it.

The movie started again, and those who had left returned to Lu Ban. He felt relieved and watched the movie attentively.

At this time, Lu Ban suddenly felt something was wrong.

He felt the warmth from his hand, it was a match.

"here it is……"

Lu Ban suddenly woke up.

The match in his hand was almost burned out, and the bonfire had not yet been lit. He looked across and saw Amber also staring at the faint light of the match, her eyes revealing the longing and expectation, reluctance and sadness that were consistent with her age.

As the light of the match faded, Amber seemed to lose all her energy and her expression became dim.

Suddenly, Amber tensed up. She looked at the matches in Lu Ban's hand and stretched out her hand.

"Give it to me! Give it to me!! Give it to me!!!"

She screamed heart-wrenchingly and tried to snatch the matches. Her face became ferocious. She didn't know where the huge strength came from in her originally weak body. She grabbed Lu Ban's wrist tightly, leaving deep claw marks.

Fresh green grass overflowed from the wound. Lu Ban held Amber Fate's neck, pulled her up by the back of her collar.

"Wake up."

Lu Ban patted Amber's face.

Amber struggled for a while before finally relaxing and returning to her original weak state.

“I just…”

She looked at Lu Ban blankly.

Amber had seen a blossoming cherry tree from the flames before. She was under the tree, having a picnic with her parents whom she had never met. Some friends came to play with her, and they were running and playing on the lush grass. There was no filth, no shrines, and everything was so beautiful, as if it had never happened.

Coming back to her senses from the illusion, Amber suddenly realized that her collar was loosened due to the movement just now, and she immediately tightened her clothes.

"It might be some kind of illusion. Don't watch me light the fire."

Lu Ban asked Amber to turn around and continued to light the fire with matches.

Every time he lights a match, Lu Ban can see some pictures that make him relax and enjoy himself, and these pictures will disappear as the match burns out. At the same time, they will inspire people who see these pictures to continue lighting matches.

Eventually, these people may become immersed in the illusion created by the matches and unable to extricate themselves, and as a result, they may starve to death, die of thirst, or suffer accidents.

"Fortunately, I am content with what I have and don't have any strong desires."

Lu Ban feels that one needs to learn to be content while living in this world.

Some people are unsatisfied with their desires every day and will eventually fall into the vortex of desires.

But someone like Lu Ban, although he has billions of small money, he himself has low material desires and no lofty ambitions. He only wants to live a peaceful life. Only then can he break free from this illusion.

It took Lu Ban several matches to finally light the wood.

It is said that the wood used on the ship has been processed and is difficult to burn under normal circumstances. However, after experiencing the baptism of artillery fire, these scattered woods seem to have returned to their original intention and are burning fiercely under the cover of flames.

Lu Ban now needs to worry about not letting the planks under his feet catch fire.

The flames brought warmth and light. Lu Ban could see some fish swimming close to the water surface, as if they were following the light.

He whistled.

Laika jumped into the sea immediately and caught two fish after a while.

These fish are spindle-shaped and covered with dense scales. Through their tight muscles, you can feel the speed at which they swim in the sea.

Lu Ban decisively slaughtered the two fish and roasted them over the campfire.

Even for the sake of these fish, Lu Ban must cook them properly.

After roasting it for a while, until the surface became charred, Lu Ban picked it up.

The fish was very hot, but Lu Ban had thick skin and flesh, so he was not afraid at all. He picked up the fish with his ruthless iron hand and took a bite.

The meat is firm and has a slight taste of the sea. Since it is a sea fish, it is salty and does not require any seasoning, so it tastes quite good.

In no time, Lu Ban ate all the fish.

He glanced at Amber.

She looked at the fish in her hand, feeling a little conflicted.

"Fish should be served with white rice, pickled vegetables and soup... and no chopsticks..."

It seems that Amber has only received a formal education. She has to have complete set of tableware when eating. I have heard that this lady can pick out all the dense bones on a fish with chopsticks. It seems that she has no experience of eating fish with bare hands.

"Eat it, replenish water and energy."

Lu Ban advised.

Amber didn't hesitate for too long. She picked up the grilled fish and took a bite.

One bite, two bites, three bites. Amber's original small bites gradually became more intense. She gobbled the grilled fish like a child who had been hungry for several days.

"Is it tasty?"

Lu Ban saw the originally dignified miko eating in such an awkward manner and asked with a smile.

“…It tastes good.”

Amber wiped her mouth and turned away.

When Laika heard this, she jumped again, dived into the sea, and caught several fish.

"That's enough. It's almost full."

Looking at Leica who was trying to show her courtesy, Lu Ban stopped her.

This dog behaves like this in front of girls. It seems that the weakness of the hound race is women.

Thinking of the other hound that was eaten by Feng Yu, Lu Tan came to this conclusion.

The clothes had been dried, and Amber gradually became sleepy beside the warm campfire.

After a whole night of tension, she finally relaxed at this moment. Once she relaxed, fatigue surged into her heart.

Looking at the flame, Amber tried to imagine the beautiful scene she had seen in the match before, but soon she found that she couldn't even imagine such a scene.

Her eyelids felt heavy as the small piece of ship wreckage beneath her swayed. Soon, Amber fell asleep while looking at Lu Ban's back.

Lu Ban glanced at Amber who was in deep sleep, and Leica snuggled into her arms, using her as a pillow to keep warm.

Until dawn, when the first ray of morning light bloomed from the sea level and cast a golden glow, Lu Ban finally saw the shadow of land.
