I Forged the Myth of the Ancient Overlords
Chapter 450 - 450 449. Jiangcheng Dedication Pioneer_1

Chapter 450: 449. Jiangcheng Dedication Pioneer_1 Chapter 450: 449. Jiangcheng Dedication Pioneer_1 Lu Ban and his friends visited a hot pot restaurant on the back street of Jiangcheng University, and since it was just after New Year’s Day, the university hadn’t finished its final exams yet, naturally, there were still many students on campus.

The inexpensive and delicious hot pot restaurant attracted a lot of students.

These students were trendy and keen on keeping up with the latest fashions, naturally having seen the recently popular movies and following the hot topics.

Most of them had seen Lu Ban’s movies.

So someone recognized Shia.

“Miss Shia, uh, could you give me an autograph?”

Another girl took out her notebook, which she normally used to stick tape on, and handed a pen to Shia.

Shia didn’t understand why these people wanted her autograph; she thought for a moment, preparing to lift her hand.

“Stop!”

Lu Ban timely stopped Shia from using some kind of large-scale destructive explosion spell to wipe out the bustling hot pot restaurant, and he explained.

“An autograph is a sign of admiration and respect for you, you can just sign your name.”

“I see, I thought they wanted to use my name to curse me.”

Shia nodded and then used the signing pen to write down her name in the notebook.

It was in Night Country script, fancy and elaborate.

After all, nobody understood those artistic signatures; as long as every signature looked roughly the same, it was fine.

“So you really were about to use an offensive spell just now, right?”

Lu Ban couldn’t help but tease.

“As a mage, it is reasonable for me to use some means to incapacitate a large group of people with unknown identities surrounding me,” Shia defended as a matter of course.

Qin Tiantian watched, dumbfounded.

The nearby university students were also dumbfounded.

Were they discussing the plot?

Or were they actually acting it out on the spot?

Is Miss Shia’s character supposed to be a mage, thus always maintaining such behavior and speech?

Trust Director Lu Ban to be so professional.

Once Tiantian accepted this setting, she even began to see Shia as an extremely dedicated actor.

As a result, queuing up for autographs wasted over an hour more.

After getting home, Lu Ban casually checked Weibo and saw that the video had been uploaded online, sparking plenty of discussions. He didn’t have time to look at them because there were more pressing issues to address.

“Aren’t we going to complete that task tonight?” Shia asked as she sat on Lu Ban’s sofa, her arms crossed.

“Shouldn’t we investigate a bit first?”

Lu Ban glanced at Feng Yu.

“You give the rundown.”

With a milk tea in hand, Feng Yu took a sip.

Qin Tiantian had already been sent home; for her, it was now grown-up time, and good kids should stay home properly.

“First of all, it’s an amusement park located on the Lingjiang Riverside…”

Lu Ban recounted what he had seen and the things the employees had experienced.

Shia listened attentively.

After hearing what Lu Ban said, she was the first to raise her hand.

“Do you have a question?”

Lu Ban looked over.

“This is really tasty; can I have another one?”

The seven-parts sweet ice cream milk tea in Shia’s hand was already finished, and she was eyeing Feng Yu’s half-drunk milk tea with envy.

“I could order two cups of delivery… Are two cups enough?”

Lu Ban took out his phone.

“That’s enough, that’s enough. I’m not some unrestrained woman, hopelessly indulging in food to the point of decadence,” Shia replied.

Shia confidently said,

while reaching for a skewer from the rice box on the table, crunching and munching as she put it into her mouth.

“Let’s order three of these.”

After Lu Ban placed the order, Feng Yu put down her milk tea.

Nobody noticed that when she put down her milk tea, the liquid in the cup had suddenly decreased by a sip.

“This is indeed strange, and it must be a mature one, possessing its own rules,”

Feng Yu explained.

“The reason you couldn’t find anything in the old newspapers of Jiangcheng is that this strange occurrence has only recently appeared here. Before this, it could have been anywhere in the world.”

“Oh, so I should check for incidents related to amusement parks in other places.”

Lu Ban thought about it and found the reasoning sound.

“However, even if you investigate, the information you get will be limited. People who come out alive from anomalies of this level are few, and most eyewitness reports are superficial, only scratching the surface without getting to the core rules.”

Feng Yu picked up her milk tea, feeling as if the cup was lighter; she glanced at Shia who was happily eating her skewer, frowned slightly, and took another sip.

“You have to experience all the amusement rides, which is highly difficult. If it’s just an individual ride, you might complete it safely just by following certain rules. However, when it’s all the amusement rides combined, there are several rules involved, making it more dangerous. More importantly, what you see may not be all there is to the rides.”

Feng Yu clarified.

“Based on the amusement park you’ve seen, there’s a carousel, a Ferris wheel, and also a roller coaster. But in reality, there might be more than these within the park. Some attractions might not be visible under normal circumstances, and it’s up to us to trigger them.”

“This is true.”

Lu Ban nodded.

He noticed that the skewers on the table had been devoured by Shia in no time.

In the previous “Terror Cinema,” Lu Ban hadn’t managed to defeat it but merely escaped from it.

From this perspective, this world seemed much more dangerous.

Once a monster showed its health bar, it was a matter of damage quantity for the Chosen by Gods.

But the anomalies of this world never showed their health bars.

No matter how high the damage, there was nothing one could do against an indestructible backdrop.

Ding-dong, the doorbell rang amid the discussion.

Lu Ban opened the door, brought back the milk tea, fed Shia, and continued discussing with Feng Yu.

Late at night, close to eleven o’clock, Feng Yu stood up.

“There’s no time limit on your mission, so there’s no rush to strategize. It’s safer to gather enough information before making a move. It’s late today; I’ll be heading back now,” she said.

Feng Yu put on her coat, ready to leave; she glanced at Shia who had finished the milk tea and Lu Ban, then suddenly frowned.

“Where will she stay tonight?”

“I’ll just sleep here,”

Shia answered as if it were the most natural thing.

“?”

Feng Yu looked at Lu Ban as if to say, “You’ve got a nerve.”

“We’ve slept in the same room before; it’s not an issue,”

added Shia.

Feng Yu sat back down.

“It’s too late tonight; I might as well stay here too.”

Upon hearing Feng Yu’s words, Laika, the Corgi who had been dozing off in the living room, suddenly woke up with a start as if it had a nightmare and circled around Lu Ban restlessly.

The empty milk tea cup on the table fell to the ground, pushed by something unknown.

“That won’t be necessary, that won’t be necessary,”

Lu Ban, worried about frightening his housemate, suggested,

“She could sleep at Qin Tiantian’s place, it’s still my house after all.”

Let Shia’s snoring plague Qin Tiantian instead, Lu Ban thought.
