I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

……

The light that never fades

【excellent】

A flashlight

Lightweight, practical, sturdy and durable

[It can provide enough light that even the darkness of the Night Kingdom cannot block it out.]

[Engraved with a line of small text: Can only be used during the day]

Price: 450 Quiet Points

……

A sigh

【ordinary】

A sigh can be heard anywhere.

Its reusability is a key feature.

[A sigh left behind by Hippocrates, the Sage of Medicine, before his sudden death]

Is this a lament for one's own life, or a resignation to the inevitable death of all mortals?

【"well--"】

Price: 100 Quiet Points

……

[Air Friend]

【ordinary】

[An air friend]

[Unseen, untouchable, unperceptible]

You may speak to him, but do not ask for a response.

["On He Island, everyone has their own air friend"]

Price: 70 Quiet Points

"...What the hell is all this stuff...?"

Lu Ban flipped through the catalog, but it seemed that because his level and permissions in this system were not high enough, he could only see products of excellent quality at most.

High-quality products are often related to something in reality, but their descriptions are strange and carry a sense of danger.

Ordinary quality goods come in all sorts of random items, and most of them feel like useless junk. They seem more like props from a comedy cartoon than proper items.

Lu Ban only has 100 Silent Points, so he can't buy most of the high-quality items.

Lu Ban felt that it wasn't worth spending points to buy ordinary quality goods at the moment.

Buying a "Sigh" to scare people might be okay, but buying an "Air Friend" just feels like being cheated.

He rummaged around and suddenly spotted a cheap, high-quality item in the corner.

[The Knowledge of a Madman]

【excellent】

The skull of someone who once possessed knowledge of the gods.

[Can be used to acquire knowledge from other realms]

[Knowledge of taboos can satisfy a strong sense of curiosity]

But it could also drive you crazy.

【"I see!"】

Price: 100 Silent Points (First discount of the day: 50 Silent Points)

Chapter 005 From this moment on, let the world feel terror.

"What the hell is this daily first-time discount? Is it even worth using for gacha pulls?"

In the quiet of the night, Lu Ban couldn't help but complain.

According to the description, he can spend 50 Silence Points to buy [The Madman's Knowledge] once a day, and the price will return to normal the second time.

This is exactly the same as the daily single draws in mobile games that encourage spending.

Moreover, it seems that "The Madman's Knowledge" contains all sorts of knowledge. As for whether this knowledge is a proof of Goldbach's Conjecture or how to pick your nose elegantly, nobody knows.

There is no guaranteed minimum, no published probability, and no drop list.

A gacha game with a dark twist!

Even for the cheapest, high-quality goods, Lu Ban would never resort to such gambling tactics to try his luck!

"There doesn't seem to be anything worth buying, so I might as well keep it."

Lu Ban thought about his career development and decided to finish reading first.

He turned back to the page where "La Marseillaise" was composed, and in the expanded personal panel, there was the dark green career section.

As my finger swept across the text, the words on the page shifted and condensed into a few strange lines.

[Career Development Tasks]

[Having been inspired, are you feeling a strong urge to create? Complete it and embrace the joy of new beginnings.]

[Task Requirements: Publish a video online and get enough views to complete the task.]

[Posting a video work: 0/1]

[Number of views: 0/5000000]

"From this moment on, let the world feel terror."

"?"

Lu Ban was stunned.

After all that weird stuff, are we back to the entertainment route now?

This task doesn't seem to require selection; it starts automatically after he completes the previous task.

In other words, Lu Ban needs to release a video and get five million views to complete this task.

Five million isn't a lot.

Lu Ban, one of the world's more famous video websites, and Daocaoren Video Network are all self-produced TV series, variety shows, animations and movies. Some of the popular works can get more than 100 million views a day.

Aishouyi Video Network and Daocaoren Video Network are direct competitors, similar in nature, and have little difference in data.

Tomorrow Online, which focuses on short videos, only has a mobile app and targets the lower-tier market. Popular videos easily garner tens of millions of views.

Another example is the old video website that focuses on animation, lifestyle, and young users. Its click figures are less inflated, and it has more core users.

Lu Ban prefers to publish his self-made videos on websites like Jiuri Video Network or Tomorrow Online, which is related to the style of these websites.

Both Scarecrow and Love Crafts are large websites, and users are overwhelmed by the content they offer. Without official promotion, videos uploaded by content creators themselves receive very few clicks.

The content on Old Days Video Network and Tomorrow Online is mostly user-uploaded UCG content, and their users tend to watch other people's videos.

As a young man aspiring to develop in the cultural and entertainment industry, Lu Ban naturally registered uploader accounts on these platforms.

He had previously filmed some clips imitating popular video ideas from the last century, but unfortunately they didn't become popular. Perhaps the reason those videos became so popular was not only due to his personal efforts, but also to the course of history.

"A video..."

Lu Ban muttered about the mission details. Undoubtedly, although this system was strange, it seemed to be his only support, and completing the system's mission should be the best choice.

Besides, he had even played that supernatural little game, so surely ghosts wouldn't come knocking on his door if he posted a video, right?

Oh right, the video!

Lu Ban opened his phone and looked at the file that had suddenly appeared, titled "A video that cannot be opened at night".

I don't know what's in there.

But since he had already decided not to open it tonight, Lu Ban kept his word.

Having just experienced that bizarre event, he didn't intend to continue sleeping. Instead, he sat up, turned on his computer, and watched videos.

While others were still sound asleep, he was already researching operational strategies after the video was released.

Lu Ban is just that amazing!

More than an hour later, Lu Ban looked at the several payment text messages on his phone indicating that he had activated his captain account, and his lips twitched.

"Why are these people streaming ASMR so late at night instead of sleeping?!"

He had just slept with two ASMR streamers, and after listening to a young female streamer's casual chatter in bed, he impulsively slept with her as well.

A captain earns two hundred yuan a month, and that's how one order went through.

Beware of the consumerism trap!

Lu Ban criticized himself.

He picked up his phone again and browsed the Tomorrow Online app.

"This time I'm sure I'll figure out some techniques to make videos go viral!"

An hour and a half later, Lu Ban closed the app.

He watched videos of other people fishing with great interest for an hour.

"It's okay, as long as we didn't spend any money, it's a victory!"

Lu Ban muttered to himself.

Then he remembered to check if there was any experience online, so he opened a blue knowledge-sharing website called "Did you understand?"

How can new content creators (UPs) quickly gain followers on established video platforms?
