I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

Looking at the caller ID, it was Sergeant Feng Yu.

Wow, you're in a magazine! It's Movie Report! You're the second person in our class to be featured in this magazine!

Feng Yu sounded very happy and excited.

"The second one? Who was the first one?"

Lu Ban was somewhat surprised.

It's not that he thinks he's amazing, being able to appear in a state-run magazine interview at such a young age; it's just pure curiosity.

"Huh? You didn't know? Zhou Ying, she was sexually harassed by a famous director, which brought up a lot of his dirty laundry. She was on two shows!"

Feng Yu is, after all, a girl, and she takes these kinds of gossip quite seriously.

"How awful!"

Lu Ban complained that many people nowadays take advantage of their power and influence to bully others, and this should really be dealt with properly!

"Let's not talk about that. By the way, I saw you said you were going to participate in the Yannan University Student Film Festival?"

"Correct."

"What a coincidence! My film crew will also be doing promotional work soon, so we can meet up in Yannan!"

Feng Yu's voice sounded light and cheerful, like that of a primary school student about to go on a spring outing.

"What a coincidence?"

Lu Ban flipped through the calendar.

"Yeah, yeah, let's find some time to eat together sometime. I've heard there are quite a few good restaurants in Yannan."

"no problem."

He chatted with Feng Yu for a few more minutes before hanging up the phone.

So, which production team did Feng Yu join?

Lu Ban was somewhat confused, but he suppressed the urge to search for Feng Yu's name online. This kind of stalking behavior didn't fit Lu Ban's positive image.

He continued working until all the stories needed for the archives had been processed.

Lu Ban adopts a storyline based on reality. The story begins with problems arising from the demolition of a hospital. The protagonist then goes to investigate, obtains several tapes, listens to the tapes while investigating, and finally enters the hospital to solve the problem.

This structure, which uses several supernatural short stories as a prelude to eventually come together, is often seen in suspense and thriller films. Lu Ban remembers being particularly impressed by "The Great Hypnotist," which uses several hypnosis scenarios to create a coherent narrative, and it's quite good.

In the evening of mid-October, Lu Ban stretched and saw a message pop up on WeChat.

[Wangchuan]: How are your house's drainpipes?

[Still motionless]: ?

[Wangchuan]: The sewer in our building burst, and it's uninhabitable right now. Can you let me stay at your place for two nights?

[Completely motionless]: ? ?

[Wangchuan]: Why are you using a question mark? I'm not going to eat you!

[Completely motionless]: ? ? ?

Chapter 156 Shark Loungewear

Lu Ban didn't quite understand why Qin Tiantian's first thought was to come to his house to stay.

Do you think you're easy to bully?

After thinking about it, he realized that, based on how this woman usually slacked off during her live streams, it was more likely that she was just too lazy to go too far.

The problem is not big.

Lu Ban's home is now in a beautiful environment with stunning scenery, and there are many people around, making it lively and bustling. Qin Tiantian is not an exception.

In the afternoon, Lu Ban heard the doorbell ring and went to the door.

He glanced through the cat's eyes and confirmed it was indeed Qin Tiantian.

The weather had turned cold in late October, and even the male hairy crabs were ready to be eaten. Qin Tiantian didn't continue her usual style of flip-flops and short t-shirts, but instead wore a set of...pajamas?

"You came in your pajamas?"

Lu Ban looked Qin Tiantian up and down.

She was wearing a shark-themed two-piece pajama set with a hood, which made her look like a shark when she wore it. Coupled with the shark-shaped pillow she was holding, it was hard not to think that she had some special interest in sharks.

"What pajamas? These are loungewear! I'm wearing something underneath!"

Qin Tiantian pulled down her collar, revealing a t-shirt underneath and an empty flight deck.

"Oh."

Wow, you've renovated your house! The style is completely different now!

Qin Tiantian walked into the room, looked around, and quickly focused her gaze on the mirror.

"This mirror isn't good enough. I should have a tall, narrow mirror, so I can look thinner."

She made a comment.

"If you lose any more weight, you'll turn into a steel plate!"

Lu Ban scoffed.

"Get out!"

Qin Tiantian placed the cushion on the sofa and sat down next to it, sinking into it like an old man sprawling on the sofa.

"This feels so good! If I ever have a house, I want to get a sofa this soft!"

"Wow, you even have a new game console! These are super expensive now, they're all scalpers!"

"This TV is 77 inches? No way, I want to see how it looks."

She was like a primary school student entering a science museum, full of curiosity.

Looking at Qin Tiantian, who is now like a primary school student both physically and mentally, Lu Ban only gave one reminder.

"My friend really likes your shark pillow."

"?"

Qin Tiantian was taken aback and looked at the shark-shaped pillow next to her.

It seems the position has changed slightly compared to before?

"Your family's...friends, are they still alive?"

Qin Tiantian recalled her previous experience at Lu Ban's house.

Although it looks scary, it actually is quite scary.

However, as long as Lu Ban is there, there is no danger.

"Yes, just remember not to look in the mirror for too long. Hmm, they've gotten used to you by now, except for two new ones. But they're shy, so you probably won't see them."

Lu Ban spoke the truth.

"..."

Qin Tiantian began to seriously consider whether she should go back to the rented room where the sewer had exploded and she couldn't shower or use the toilet.

But we've already come all this way, it would be a huge loss to go back now.

"You can play games in the living room. I bought several of the new ones that were recently released, but I haven't had time to play them yet. You can stream if you want. I'm going to work now, and I'll call you for dinner."

Lu Ban gave a few instructions and then went back to his room to continue working.

The sound of a game soon filled the living room. Qin Tiantian seemed to be live-streaming on her phone, and you could occasionally hear notifications like "Alipay received xx yuan." By the end of the afternoon, including the tips Qin Tiantian gave thanks for, Captain, it seemed to have reached a little over a thousand yuan.

Based on this calculation, the monthly income is tens of thousands.

Those viewers who gave tips had never even seen Qin Tiantian's face.

Virtual live streamers are making a fortune!

Lu Ban couldn't help but sigh.

He was still working when he suddenly felt a gaze upon him.

Turning around, I saw Qin Tiantian, dressed in a shark-themed loungewear, hiding by the door, peering inside like a cat secretly observing someone preparing to do something naughty.

"If you're sleepy, you can sleep on the sofa."

Lu Ban said something, thinking that Qin Tiantian wanted to sleep.

What are you doing?

Seeing this, Qin Tiantian leaned closer and saw Lu Ban's work page.

"Work."

Lu Ban said.

He now has two main computers. One is a dedicated machine for various professional software and editing, and the monitor is also the one with the best parameters such as minimal color difference and resolution.

The other one is for casually watching videos and playing games.

Is it a new movie?

Qin Tiantian was very surprised.

"Yes, it's scheduled to be screened at the Yannan University Student Film Festival next month."

Lu Ban stopped what he was doing and looked at Qin Tiantian.

"Next month??? Is that enough time???"

Qin Tiantian was taken aback, then took a half step back.

It seems she really hasn't been paying much attention to movie news.

After all, she's the kind of woman who can play Apex Legends all night long, so movies and such things might be a bit too much for Qin Tiantian to be into.

"Pretty much, just right."

Lu Ban glanced at Qin Tiantian again.
