The difficulty of [Alienation] is still not lit up, and it is still more than ten thousand away from being unlocked. Theoretically, if this mission is successful, combined with the career development mission that comes back, Lu Ban should be able to unlock the new level of [Silent Department Store] and the new difficulty.

He looked at the remaining three difficulties.

"Hmm? The difficulty of [Erosion] is still tripled, and the base points are 3,000 points, which has not increased. In this case, 3,000 points should be the benchmark reward for regular tasks in the future?"

Originally, the rewards for each of the previous missions were higher than the previous ones. Lu Ban thought that it could snowball and continue to grow in waves. If even the [Mortal] difficulty had rewards of tens of thousands in the future, Lu Ban would just blow it up.

Now it seems that 3,000 points of difficulty for [Erosion] is the peak. It was only from the last mission that he truly entered the daily life of [Land of Silence].

Next, if you want to get higher rewards in the mission, you can only increase the degree of exploration or choose a higher difficulty!

"【Erosion】is three times, then 【Alienation】could be four times?"

Taking into account the increase in basic rewards, a single [Alienation] mission might earn you more than 20,000 Silence Points, which is a great tool for earning points.

Lu Ban couldn't help but look forward to it.

Of course, the most important thing is right now.

"Looking for a missing artist really seems like a brain job, huh? Wait, it seems like the mission doesn't require the artist to be alive?"

Lu Ban suddenly had an inspiration.

"Last time, Drizzt simply found a way to shoot the bride and groom and they completed the task of surviving until the end of the wedding. So this time, if I can directly blow up the entire Song Island, wouldn't it mean that I can 'find' the missing artist and survive until the 'end' of the poetry festival?"

He felt that his idea made sense.

However, Lu Ban is, after all, a gentle, kind, law-abiding citizen and would never do such a cruel thing as genocide.

He has always adhered to the principle of positive energy. After all, according to the experiences of Trist and Du Danping, if they let things run wild in this [Silent Land], they might encounter even more terrible things.

When he thought of this, Lu Ban couldn't help but want to go downstairs to help the old lady cross the street and vent the positive energy in his body.

He stood up and cleaned the room until the toilet water was drinkable, then Lu Ban sat back down.

"Utajima, the organizer of the Poetry Festival, is so irresponsible. As a law-abiding citizen, I must correct their mistake!"

He said angrily, and suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, air friends are also a specialty of the island. If you go there with me this time, you might be able to see your companions."

Lu Ban said to the air friend beside him.

"I hope you won't be kidnapped by other female friends by then."

After packing up his things, Lu Ban opened the task panel and selected the [Erosion] difficulty.

[Do you want to enter the quiet place?]

【whether】

He confirmed decisively.

A mist spread out from the computer screen, and Lu Ban smelled the salty smell of sea water, as well as some pungent, throat-itching irritating smells.

clatter--

Da Da——

Da da da——

A certain crisp sound rang in his ears, the frequency increasing, making him feel irritated.

The thick fog completely covered Lu Ban's body. Surprisingly, the room did not become cooler, but became even hotter.

When the chirping of the last few cicadas outside the window reached its loudest, Lu Ban and Mi Wu disappeared from the house.

[The speed of time in the Quiet Place is inconsistent with the outside world]

[The time ratio of this journey is 2:1]

【Number of companions: 0】

[Heading to Kazushima]

Shaking, sinking, and blurred.

Lu Ban, who had not yet recovered from the dizziness, opened his eyes and saw a thin mist spreading over the dark green sea. The swaying boat was isolated and helpless on the waves. Behind him, the huge three-masted sailing ship was like a giant beast, spying on all living things in the mist.

“It’s almost there.”

The boatman who was rowing the boat said something that made Lu Ban completely conscious.

"Uta Island is covered in fog all year round, it's no big deal."

The old boatman took a deep breath of the air mixed with humid sea mist, and his hands rowing the boat seemed to become stronger.

Lu Ban looked around.

He was the only one on the small boat, which seemed to have been lowered from the huge three-masted sailing ship behind him.

"Is there no deep-water dock on Uta Island?"

He asked subconsciously.

"Yes, of course. The pier of Uta Island is the most prosperous pier on the island. It's just that it's not a good season now, so no one wants to come."

Lu Ban felt uncomfortable watching the boatman rowing hard. He wanted to help, but he had no idea how to row, so helping might end up making things worse.

So, Lu Ban could only blow twice behind him to help the boat speed up.

"Why don't you want to come? Isn't this the poetry festival?"

Lu Ban used the rhetoric he learned from Drizzt. According to Drizzt, if you want to communicate with a stranger, you must first follow what the other person says, secondly, show an attitude of listening carefully to what the other person says, and finally, have a meaningful response.

"Oh, the Poetry Festival, indeed, the Poetry Festival is a big event. All the poets and painters from the entire Hedao Island will come here, but it's not the right time. Now is not the right time..."

The boatman sighed a little, but the waves suddenly surged up, causing the boat to shake.

"Be careful, it could be a big fish."

When Lu Ban heard this, he looked into the water.

The dark green sea water rolled over, but it did not appear turbid, but became clearer instead.

So much so that Lu Ban could see things swimming in the water.

"A fish that emits fluorescent light? No, this is..."

He saw a small group of tall and slender fish emitting a faint green light swimming in the water. He also saw jellyfish of changing colors floating in the deeper water. Continuing to look downward, Lu Ban saw darkness.

No, it was not the dimness caused by the refraction of the sea water. In fact, even in the fog, the sunlight could still penetrate the water surface and illuminate an area of ​​the sea.

What Lu Ban saw was the body of some giant creature.

He looked forward and backward, but could not see the entirety of the huge creature.

This small boat was paddling above the huge creature that was as big as a hill.

Eyes, Lu Ban quickly saw its eyes.

This creature looked like a whale, at least the upper half of its body was like a whale. On the top of the whale's head, hundreds of eyes were open in the cracks of the skin. Those eyes looked around, but soon, as one of them caught the boat, all eyes turned to Lu Ban in an instant.

In this brief eternity, Lu Ban and the monster looked at each other.

He didn't know which eye to look at, so he just looked at the center.

"What's this?"

Lu Ban pointed at the monster. Since the boatman didn't have any abnormal reaction, it must be a very docile creature.

However, when he turned around and looked at the boatman, the elderly man had already jumped into the sea with a look of horror on his face.

The next moment, Lu Ban felt that he was being lifted up.

The entire ship was lifted up, and the huge whale monster jumped out of the sea, making a heart-pounding low roar, then turned sideways and fell heavily into the sea.

Lu Ban fell into the sea with a splash, and only a few bubbles came out.
