I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

Qin Tiantian picked up the pen on the table and glanced at the question.

I wrote the character "解" (jie).

After a while, a colon was added to the word.

Then, even after the words "genius" disappeared, Qin Tiantian still couldn't solve that problem.

"...No, why are you asking me to do this problem?"

Qin Tiantian suddenly realized something at the last moment before the text disappeared and asked Lu Ban.

"It's alright. It seems that there are things that people can do and things they can't do."

Even with extraordinary abilities, it's impossible to turn Qin Tiantian into a genius; at most, she can only be raised to the point where she can ask Lu Ban why he set the questions.

"Human beings do indeed have their limits."

Lu Ban sighed.

"really."

Qin Tiantian nodded.

What are you doing here all of a sudden?

She asked again.

There was almost no one in the company. After the movie was released, Lu Ban gave everyone another month off.

The people at Silent Media are constantly switching between working themselves to the bone and taking extended vacations, which takes away from their bonuses and salaries for dozens of months. It's incredibly tough.

Qin Tiantian, as the receptionist and mascot, naturally took on the job of security guard. Sometimes she would come here during the day to sit for a while. Watching the door was secondary; her main job was to use the high-configuration computers here.

"Let me keep an eye on your work."

Lu Ban answered without hesitation.

"I, I'm just doing my job properly, don't talk nonsense."

Qin Tiantian hurriedly brought up the desktop.

"Any recent news from China?"

Lu Ban asked casually.

"It's nothing... I think a group of patients were discharged from a mental hospital, and then a new batch went in. It's kind of funny."

Qin Tiantian took out her phone and casually scrolled through it.

"Some people also said they saw a teddy bear walking on the street, and when doctors examined him, they found he had a mental illness."

"A mental patient escaped from the hospital and then ran into the street, forcing people to cross the road. It's terrifying!"

"There was also an arts group that went to perform at a mental hospital. When they left, they found that there were three extra people in the group, but they didn't know who they were."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ban interrupted her.

"Why are all the news stories related to mental illness? Are there no news stories about normal people in this world?"

"Big data, you know, as long as you search for mental illness, it will keep pushing news about mental illness to you."

Qin Tiantian remarked that Lu Ban was truly ignorant.

"That's true."

Lu Ban also agreed.

Information theft is rampant these days. Just saying a few words can lead to being bombarded with related information, leaving no room for personal privacy.

Then this information is sold to websites, and some live streamers are hired to promote the products, making ordinary people think, "Wow, these people actually understand my ideas!" So they go on a buying spree.

"Let's have something good to eat tonight. I'll ask Feng Yu."

Lu Ban didn't know where Feng Yu was, or even if she was in this world. Anyway, he sent a text message.

"Wow, I want to eat barbecue!"

Qin Tiantian's eyes lit up immediately when she heard there was something delicious to eat.

"Forget about barbecue, let's have hot pot instead."

Lu Ban imagined what a barbecue would look like and decided to choose a different food.

"That's fine too, I'm not picky."

Qin Tiantian was already very clear about her position; when the boss treated her to a meal, she had no choice.

Feng Yu did not reply for the time being. Lu Ban watched videos in his seat for a while and came across a shopping video. However, the host was not selling products, but rather selling products in reverse.

Simply put, he buys items online that people often see that seem interesting but are actually useless, and then uses them to create review videos to discourage viewers from buying them.

Lu Ban looked at them for a while and found that these things were indeed useful when they seemed useful, but in reality, they were also truly useless when they were not.

After watching the video, he had absolutely no desire to buy anything from it.

He felt that these videos were quite useful. If any strange events occurred in the future, Lu Ban could use them to make videos and take everyone into the eerie world. In that case, the audience would definitely stay away from similar events.

When it was almost time, Lu Ban took Qin Tiantian to eat hot pot nearby.

The hot pot restaurants in the city center are naturally much more expensive than those on the back street of Jiangcheng University. Lu Ban looked at the chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns rolling in the red soup. The spicy seasonings twisted and turned, forming the cold and indifferent words of the system.

"Even if I jumped off this cliff today... it would be so delicious!"

Chapter 423 A Unique Form

"A unique form?"

Lu Ban was somewhat confused when he saw the mission requirements.

Does this mean we can't use the usual film format?

He hadn't checked the materials on his computer yet and was at a loss for what to do.

"If regular movies don't work, how about 4D movies?"

Thinking of movies where the seats sway and spray water and air, Lu Ban felt that this might not be what the Quiet Place needed.

This project should be more immersive and allow people to be more engaged in it.

"This meat tastes so-so, not as good as the hot pot restaurant on the back street."

Qin Tiantian picked up a piece of marinated spicy beef that was bubbling in the pot and said as she ate.

Lu Ban thought for a moment, then wrote the word "delicious" on one of the slices of beef he had picked up, and put it into Qin Tiantian's bowl while it was still hot.

"Why don't you try again?"

"?"

Qin Tiantian naturally couldn't see the pen in Lu Ban's hand. She just felt that Lu Ban was acting a bit strangely, perhaps his symptoms had worsened again.

She ate a piece of beef with some skepticism, then her eyes suddenly widened.

"Wow, this is delicious! How can it be so delicious!"

She gulped down the beef, her face filled with disbelief.

Lu Ban suddenly felt that he had mastered the secret to cooking.

He then asked the helpful waiter to bring him a piece of paper, and casually drew an abstract figure on it with an ordinary pen.

"What kind of rubbish did you draw?"

Qin Tiantian leaned over and took a look at Lu Ban's painting; it was practically a grotesque talisman for exorcising evil spirits.

"A drawing of you."

Lu Ban replied.

"Do you believe I'll shove your head into this pot?"

Qin Tiantian shouted angrily, but her words lacked any persuasiveness.

"Don't rush, it's not finished yet."
