I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

Chapter 051 Friends' Dinner

Lu Ban said goodbye to the two police officers and returned to the house.

He was supposed to have breakfast, but after thinking about it, he realized he wasn't hungry, so he simply started working instead.

The sunlight shone on him, warm and comforting, as if he possessed boundless strength.

"The screen is a bit reflective..."

Lu Ban drew the curtains halfway and focused on editing the video.

Lost in his work, Lu Ban didn't come to his senses until evening.

"I haven't eaten anything all day and I don't feel hungry?"

Lu Ban found it unbelievable.

"No, this won't do! How am I supposed to enjoy delicious food after this?!"

He decided to order some takeout and indulge in some revenge spending.

After ordering skewers for delivery, Lu Ban decided to take a shower.

Walking into the bathroom, Lu Ban took off his clothes, wet his hair with water, applied shampoo, rubbed it in, and then rinsed it clean.

Just as Lu Ban was about to use the shower gel, he suddenly remembered something.

Last night, when he went out, he put the shampoo in the water meter room outside the door to prevent it from being stolen. Later, since he didn't need it, he didn't take it back.

So, the shampoo he used just now...

Lu Ban looked at his Pantene.

He picked it up, smelled it, and found nothing different.

As Lu Ban put down the shampoo and turned around, he saw something flash by in the mirror.

After turning off the water heater, Lu Ban dried himself with a towel, changed his clothes, and walked out of the bathroom.

He opened the door in his slippers and glanced at the water meter room.

It was completely empty inside.

"You can't drink Pantene."

As Lu Ban closed the door, he spoke as if to himself.

Ding-dong-

The doorbell rang suddenly, and Lu Ban opened the door again.

He's a food delivery guy.

"Thank you."

Lu Ban took the skewers and placed them on the table in the living room.

He set out three sets of chopsticks, and then picked up a fourth pair for himself.

"This is skewers, I don't know if you've ever tried them."

Lu Ban spoke to the empty chair opposite him.

Although he couldn't see or touch it, Lu Ban still remembered that he had an air friend.

It's polite to ask the other person's question when you're eating.

Seeing that the other party did not respond, Lu Ban put the duck intestines he had picked up into his mouth.

The spicy and stimulating taste that Lu Ban hadn't had in a long time made him feel like he had returned to the human world.

"Sure enough, photosynthesis has its limitations. Without sunlight, photosynthesis cannot take place, and energy cannot be obtained. People still need to eat."

"Great, it seems I can still enjoy good food."

Lu Ban felt relieved after stirring the pork kidneys, which were coated in chili oil, in a dipping sauce of minced garlic and sesame oil.

"And thinking about it this way, before I ate food to survive, so I had to eat some things that didn't taste very good. Now I eat mostly to satisfy my appetite, so I can focus on eating only delicious things?"

He suddenly realized that photosynthesis wasn't so bad after all.

"By the way, did you see how my shampoo got back?"

Lu Ban asked another question about his "air friend".

"Oh, I see. You didn't see it either."

He nodded to himself, picked up a piece of pig brain, and slurped it into his mouth.

Lu Ban's phone vibrated. He saw that it was a text message from Qin Tiantian.

Lu Ban had told her before that he was going out to gather information, and Qin Tiantian probably only saw it now, hence the few question marks she sent.

[Still motionless]: It's alright, I've finished gathering materials and am having dinner at home.

He took a picture of himself eating and sent it to Qin Tiantian.

[Wangchuan]: ...

[Wangchuan]: Wait a minute, you're eating alone, why do you need four sets of bowls and chopsticks?

[Motionless]: He was sitting across from his friend.

Lu Ban took another picture of the chair opposite him.

[Wangchuan]: ...Don't make fun of me.

[Stand still]: Good.

Lu Ban put down his phone and focused on eating the skewers. Perhaps the illusory hunger from not eating all day had overwhelmed him, as Lu Ban ate very quickly, even wanting to finish the soup.

Back at work, Lu Ban spent the next week photosynthesizing during the day and indulging in feasting at night.

In early August, Lu Ban, who had just finished producing the video, encountered two things.

First, the earnings from his previous videos have been received. The combined earnings from the two videos, less than two thousand yuan, are enough to completely dispel some people's idea of ​​becoming a full-time video creator.

The second thing was that after paying the water, electricity, and gas bills, Lu Ban found that he had very little money left in his pocket.

"I still have to pay rent next time, it's going to be tough."

Lu Ban never imagined that he, a content creator with 100,000 followers and millions of video views, would be so poor.

His previous income came from daily wages earned doing odd jobs on film sets. Since acquiring the system, Lu Ban hasn't taken on any part-time work. Now, after calculating all the money, he suddenly felt a pang of regret.

His income this month, apart from the payments from the videos, is probably just the money he earned from playing the suona last time.

To this end, Lu Ban even went through the [Silent Department Store] and tried to find the option to exchange cash, but unfortunately, even a system with extraordinary power could not replicate a hundred-yuan bill.

"Should we go play the suona again?"

Lu Ban was overcome with malice, but his principles immediately stopped him.

"No, no, this can't be done. I'm a content creator with 100,000 followers. If I were filmed playing the suona on the street, wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?"

Working a job was out of the question, so Lu Ban thought about ways to make money.

An hour later, Lu Ban dialed Song Yunyan's cell phone with tears in his eyes.

At this moment, Song Yunyan is working in her office.

She usually doesn't give her phone number directly to others; only family members and a few close friends can contact her through it.

Upon hearing her phone ring, Song Yunyan glanced at the caller ID.

"Lu Ban...?"

This was the first time Lu Ban had called her in the past two weeks.

Could it be that another clue related to Du Danping has been discovered?

Or did he find something else about that world?

Filled with anticipation, Song Yunyan answered the phone.

"Hello Ms. Song, this is Lu Ban. Do you have some time now?"

Lu Ban's slightly magnetic voice came through the phone. Song Yunyan put down her pen and listened attentively.

"You said I'm fine right now."

"That's good. So, Ms. Song, do you have any interest in investing in me?"

"?"

Song Yunyan was taken aback.

What does Lu Ban mean by this?

He found a clue about Du Danping and wanted to exchange it for money.

Or did he establish some mysterious organization that needed financial support?

"what do you mean……"

She wasn't quite sure what Lu Ban was thinking.

"Ms. Song, has your company ever considered entering the video film and entertainment industry? I think I'm sure I can make excellent and commercially successful movies in the future. How about we start a business now and get some investment from you?"

"??"

Song Yunyan was completely baffled by Lu Ban's line of thinking.

In her view, Lu Ban should be a mysterious and elusive being.

Why is he acting like an entrepreneur seeking investment, coming to me asking for money?

"By the way, Ms. Song, I recently filmed another video that I think you might be interested in. Would you like to watch it before deciding on an investment?"

Upon hearing Lu Ban's words, Song Yunyan immediately became interested.

Chapter 052 I didn't threaten you, did I?

The Jiangcheng Industrial headquarters was sparsely lit.
