I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

My air friend is so amazing, it can even cook?

Listening to the sounds of cooking coming from the kitchen, Lu Ban thought.

He stood up, walked out of the bedroom, and went to the kitchen.

Immediately, Lu Ban saw a familiar figure.

"Feng Yu?"

His class monitor, Feng Yu, was wearing an apron and busy at the stove.

"You're awake? Go wash up, dinner will be ready soon."

Feng Yu said naturally, just like Lu Ban's mother.

Lu Ban saw that there was already a plate of stir-fried garlic chives with cured pork, a plate of stir-fried loofah with eggs, a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs on the table, and crab soup was simmering in the wok. The aroma of rice was wafting from the rice cooker, making it feel just like being at home.

Lu Ban reached out to steal a piece of cured meat, but before he could even touch it, Feng Yu caught him red-handed.

"It's unhygienic to use chopsticks after washing your hands."

"Oh……"

Lu Ban went to the bathroom, closed the door, washed his hands, and looked carefully at himself in the mirror.

"What happened? How did she get in?"

Lu Ban looked completely innocent in the mirror, indicating that he was unaware of the situation.

"Lu Ban, dinner's ready."

Feng Yu's voice came from outside the restroom door.

Lu Ban, hiding in the toilet, responded with a sound.

After thinking about it, he felt that the problem shouldn't be too big.

Feng Yu himself had no ill intentions towards me, and the shock I felt when I saw the video footage this morning was probably due to Feng Yu's help.

She is a good person!

But thinking about it carefully, the fact that I fainted while watching the video and Feng Yu cleaned up the mess felt a bit like secretly watching a pornographic movie at home, accidentally falling asleep, and waking up to find myself sitting on the sofa with my relatives looking at me kindly.

It was quite awkward.

He walked out of the bathroom and into the living room.

The TV was on, still playing news from the Spring Festival period, and there was a steaming hot meal on the table.

Lu Ban watched as Feng Yu opened the rice cooker, scooped rice into a bowl with a spoon, pressed it down, and continued scooping until the bowl was full before handing it to him.

"I just made some simple dishes."

Feng Yu himself only scooped up a small spoonful and sat down opposite Lu Ban.

How did you get in?

Watching the reruns of the skits from previous years, Lu Ban finally asked the question.

Chapter 233 Refusing to Slack Off

Hearing Lu Ban's words, Feng Yu smiled and put a piece of cured meat into Lu Ban's bowl.

"That's how I walked in."

She didn't explain, but that was an explanation in itself.

At least Feng Yu didn't climb in through the window.

Lu Ban felt relieved.

"Let's not talk about that now. How is it? Is it delicious?"

Feng Yu looked at Lu Ban with some anticipation.

Lu Ban put the cured meat that Feng Yu had placed on his plate into his mouth. The smoked cured meat had a unique flavor, and it was indeed delicious when paired with green garlic.

The crab used was a mud crab, stir-fried and then paired with a kind of melon that I can't quite describe. The soup was also very fresh and sweet.

Stir-fried loofah with eggs is refreshing and helps cut through the greasiness, while sweet and sour pork ribs are sweet and sour – both are skills that could make money by opening a shop.

"good to eat."

Food can heal the soul, and the same applies to Lu Ban.

"That's good."

Feng Yu also started eating dinner.

"You need to take good care of yourself. Eat and sleep on time, and don't open or look at anything strange."

She then gave her instructions like a mother hen.

"Ah."

Lu Ban could only nod.

"In that video..."

"I've already deleted the corresponding stuff for you. It wasn't supposed to be there. Maybe something is watching you."

Feng Yu spoke again.

Lu Ban suddenly remembered the suffocating feeling he had when he returned from the ruined city, like the cold lake water, and those emerald-colored eyes without pupils.

Could it be that something came with Lu Ban's return from that time onwards?

Did it create that special video to kill Lu Ban?

He felt like he had survived a disaster.

"Don't worry, normally these things don't have that much of an impact on people. As long as you don't encounter them again in a short period of time, there won't be any problems. If all else fails, I'm here for you."

Feng Yu spoke as if to reassure Lu Ban.

"Eat your food quickly, it's getting cold."

She urged again.

After the two finished their meal and Lu Ban cleaned up, Feng Yu didn't seem inclined to stay. They chatted for a while before going home.

Lu Ban escorted Feng Yu out of the residential area and only returned home after seeing her get into a taxi. Sitting in front of his computer, he opened and glanced at the videos in the folder.

That video is indeed gone.

The remaining video footage is perfectly adequate as source material for an entire movie.

Lu Ban then turned his attention to the career development task.

The folders on the computer screen intertwined and rearranged, forming a series of cold, indifferent system text.

[Career Development Tasks]

Add bricks and tiles to your world, show them its unique charm, immerse them in it, and win applause and cheers.

[Task Requirements: Release works within the cinematic universe and generate over 100 million in revenue]

[Works that launched a cinematic universe: 01]

Earnings: 0100000000

"Translate for me what 'critically acclaimed and commercially successful' means?"

This task wasn't too difficult for Lu Ban.

Because "The Cry" had already grossed nearly 200,000 yuan, it became the box office champion and benchmark for domestic horror and thriller films.

Lu Ban will definitely receive 700 to 800 million yuan in box office revenue, but since he doesn't have any tax reduction measures, he will have to pay a considerable amount of tax, so he will receive less in return.

But in any case, it has exceeded 100 million.

From this perspective, Lu Ban transformed himself into a billionaire in less than a year, from a film and television worker who couldn't even afford rent, whose scripts were repeatedly rejected, and who could only do odd jobs.

But Lu Ban wasn't happy at all.

This is not the life he wants.

Focusing his attention on the task, Lu Ban only needs to produce a similar movie, and with his current fame, he can achieve the same box office results. Completing the task within six months is almost a certainty.

But Lu Ban considered things much more deeply.

If his film is shoddy, he won't be able to live with himself. He is a person who respects film very much and doesn't want to see his work presented so crudely.

Secondly, if this movie is poorly made and receives bad reviews, it will not only affect him personally, but also the entire Silence Project, and the reviews and box office performance of subsequent movies will be affected to some extent.

The reason Lu Ban is doing these things now is not to make money or gain prestige, but for the peace of the whole world.

Therefore, by enabling his film to spread more widely and reach more people, Lu Ban has made a small contribution to world peace.

However, this film may need a lot of groundwork to showcase its unique features.

From Lu Ban's perspective, because he knows a lot about the ruined capital, he can connect many things with the works of the ancient capital and understand the relationship between the stone and the ancient capital. However, for the audience who are going to the cinema for the first time, the stone is a completely new character, and the works of the ancient capital do not have a direct representation of it.

When some creators create sequels or new works related to previous works, they often encounter a problem: characters from the previous work suddenly appear in the sequel, leaving viewers who started reading the work from the sequel completely confused.

He felt that such elements, like Easter eggs, had to be kept within a certain limit; otherwise, the audience would just think the director was indulging in self-indulgence.

With this in mind, Lu Ban had an idea.

The Spring Festival passed quickly. Lu Ban's holiday was dull and normal. He spent his mornings studying, his afternoons working, and his evenings having fun. It was a very fulfilling time.

On the Lantern Festival, Lu Ban ate a bowl of sesame-filled glutinous rice balls by himself, just to celebrate the festival.

After the Lantern Festival, the holiday ends, and people's lives return to their busy work routines.

A week after the Lantern Festival, at the end of February, the air was still very cold. Sometimes you could see frost on the grass and trees when you woke up in the morning. There was no heating in Jiangcheng, and everyone relied on air conditioning for warmth. The room was very dry, so Lu Ban had to buy a humidifier to make the air a little more humid.

He worked steadily, as he had plenty of time to refine his work.

The phone rang, and Lu Ban glanced at the caller ID. It was Li Zijian, Song Yunyan's secretary.

"Brother Li, what's the matter?"

Lu Ban answered the phone.

"Didn't I introduce you to some of Mr. Song's friends last time? Do you remember?"
