Chapter 390: 389. Choose your trophy (Added update for Alliance Hierarch “Maple Wind Drift”)_1 Chapter 390: 389. Choose your trophy (Added update for Alliance Hierarch “Maple Wind Drift”)_1 In early September, the Venice Film Festival drew to a close, and Lu Ban’s “Peaceful Days in Spring” once again swept several major awards, accomplishing an unprecedented international film festival Grand Slam.

This was a true, complete Grand Slam.

Under normal rules, it would not be possible for the same film to sweep all three major film festivals in the same year; a regular Grand Slam usually refers to a director or an actor winning these three awards in different years with three different works.

But Lu Ban’s “Peaceful Days in Spring” cleaned up everything there was to win.

Such a plot, if you were to write it into an entertainment novel, it would be criticized by readers for being too exaggerated.

What’s even more outrageous is that “Peaceful Days in Spring” might not even be able to compete in the Oscars because it lacks minority or LGBT actors.

For a time, the Oscars were lambasted by film industry professionals, media, and audiences, labeling it a “wild chicken award.”

These issues had nothing to do with Lu Ban anymore.

In Lu Ban’s home, the files in his computer twisted, forming the system’s cold, detached text.

[Release a film universe work: 1/1]

[Settlement completed]

[Parting is not the end, but the beginning of the next encounter, go find new encounters, experience a more colorful world, as time goes by, you will know, everything has an answer]

[Please complete the task to receive your reward]

“Exceeding the target indeed leads to an indescribable level, but the increase in profit isn’t significant, is it because I have already achieved fame and success, so the weight of the movie aspect has decreased?”

Lu Ban began to contemplate.

Taking into account this round’s points, his accumulated Silence Points totaled 460,000. He was approximately one task away from the 500,000 required to settle the next stage of the store. This meant that after the next task, Lu Ban should be able to reach the new store, where he could purchase even more brand-new items, and perhaps he could sell some things as well.

As everyone knows, being able to only buy things makes one purely a consumer. The ability to sell indicates the possibility of becoming a harvestable crop.

Lu Ban didn’t mind being the crop; after all, he was prone to grow back even after being cut.

“The next task should be to choose the Abandoned Capital; if I encounter hostile Chosen by Gods again, my current combat power might not be sufficient.”

Lu Ban said earnestly.

Although he could use Speech Bullets to inject the murmurs of a great being into the minds of the Bandaged People when he encountered them, causing a series of destruction,

it was clear that once the Bandaged People went insane, they would turn into Tentacle Monsters and cause external pollution.

Moreover, these Bandaged People were also Chosen by Gods, carrying some inexplicable things on them.

If he encountered Bandaged People holding such decayed Coins in the Abandoned Capital next time, and if they summoned strange entities upon death, then Old Cui’s home might be gone.

After all, not every world has a system like the Chief Priestess from He Dao that eliminates pollution from a Foreign Domain.

The goods from the Silent Department Store are more or less contaminated, and according to Lu Ban’s observations, only the Inherent-grade items are safe to use without side effects, like the “All-In” and the “Testament”.

Although Cui Siter’s “Mimic Solar Flare” leaves one weak for a while after use, it’s a minor issue as opposed to contamination.

Therefore, Lu Ban conjectured that these items might have been contaminated initially, but after becoming Inherent, the contamination was perhaps removed by the Silent Lands in some manner, making them safe to use.

Upgrading Inherent items is a sure-fire way to profit.

“I wonder what Shia’s Inherent item is?”

Lu Ban had just realized that he had never asked Shia about her Inherent item, and it seemed she had never used it in front of them either. For a mage of the Night Country, spells were probably enough to handle most situations.

From this, it could be seen that the more severe the contamination, the stronger the means humans have to combat it.

In Lu Ban’s current world, the level of contamination is very low, and humans don’t really have methods to deal with it.

“I have to step up my game.”

Lu Ban glanced at the trophy cabinet displaying those golden bears, golden lions, and golden palm leaves, which suddenly twisted and distorted into the shapes of three different trophies.

The gray mist enveloping them, like a startled cat, immediately darted under Lu Ban’s bed, making the blue plush toys shiver.

Clearly, this was the choice for the next mission.

Lu Ban looked at the first trophy, which was covered in withered branches, wrapping around a weather-beaten stone, reminiscent of plants stubbornly growing in the Gobi. At the tips of those dried branches, there bloomed a small flower.

The layers of text on that stone formed the system description.

“Apocalyptic Wildflower”

“The sandstorms of the wasteland can bury everything, but also reveal everything.”

“The city-state’s grand election is over. The victor ascends the throne and the vanquished await settlement, while the waverers eager to demonstrate their loyalty.”

“A pair of sisters are pursued for their betrayal, fleeing the city-state, delving into the desert, with not only their hometown but also their pursuers rolling in behind them.”

“You encounter them by chance and join them on the road of escape. A rest station looms before your eyes. Do you seek aid or stay away for safety? The decision is but a thought away. Yet, in that room, some things are stirring.”

“‘The world is so vast, yet some are obsessed with being the king of a bullet’s territory, incomprehensible!'”

“The Wasteland, not interested.”

Lu Ban felt that his fate clashed with the wasteland, even if the other two missions seemed dangerous, he certainly wouldn’t choose one in the wasteland first.

Moreover, from what Lu Ban had seen so far, missions in the wasteland were not simple, either it’s getting involved in the power struggles of the Transcendents or investigating deserted rest stations that also appeared in different missions. There were major problems there.

Perhaps, the rest station’s owner was an insect, then the food offered would all be insects.

He looked toward the second trophy.

This trophy’s base was a twisted, strange creature with six legs, covered in spikes, two heads held high supporting a silver-gray crystal.

“Tonight, Atop the High Tower”

“The Mage’s Tower is the most common structure in the Night Country, usually standing alone amid wilderness, between forests, above the seas.”

“Those mages who indulge in experiments and research build their own towers, striving day in and day out for years to discover the path to truth.”

“But, some mages on their path touch upon the forbidden, drawing the gaze of great beings. When It sees you, hey, you’d better run, child.”

“You come to a Mage’s Tower that hasn’t been visited for thirty years. The villagers near the tower speak of strange occurrences, compelling you to visit the tower’s owner to inquire. Don’t worry, he’s just a mage engrossed in research, nothing more.”

“‘If it means touching truth, I’m willing to exchange my bones, my soul, everything for it. Come on!'”
