Chapter 694: 693.Shearing Wool_1 Chapter 694: 693.Shearing Wool_1 Several days ago.

After Lu Ban had sent off the package, he pondered that it might take some time for the people at the institute to make a breakthrough, so he didn’t hold out much hope.

The physical annihilation of the Demonic Tide meant that Lu Ban needed a continuous output.

The original Demonic Tide lasted for seven days, but who knows how many days the ancient Demonic Tide would last, and according to Shia, in the ancient Night Country, humans had a much larger range of activity. Defending against Demonic Beasts along such a long defensive line, relying solely on explosions might not guarantee success.

Therefore, items like the “Small-Scale Catastrophe Generator” or an enhanced, amplified plus version, capable of creating a sun, would be far better.

He first went to the Silent Department Store to search, hoping someone had picked up that radio in the Wasteland and listed it in the store.

Unfortunately, Lu Ban did not find the familiar figure.

However, he did discover a few items that could possibly be useful.

Automated Slaughter Tactical Squad

[Metamorphosis]

“A super thrilling gaming console that allows for online play, fully unleashing your violent desires.”

“For some, slaughter is a game; for others, their game is slaughter.”

“Once activated, a highly skilled special forces squad capable of resurrecting after death, possessing endless combat will, will appear.”

“It is said that several shackled souls are imprisoned within, trapped in an eternal game that will never end, but who knows?”

“It’s so much fun, so cool, this game is so exciting!”

Price: 1,245,000 Silence Points

This was an old gaming console, probably a model from the 1990s. The console was connected to four controllers and, one could imagine, supporting four players at once must have been quite advanced for its capabilities back then.

According to the instructions, this device could release a highly powerful special forces squad. The beasts of the Demonic Tide might be monsters, but they can be injured by swords, maimed by arrows, and they can die if killed. If that’s the case, perhaps it could suppress the demons within a certain range.

But the downside was also obvious—it could only deal with the demons in one area and could not become an army.

Lu Ban set it aside and looked at the second item.

Doomsday Gate

[Metamorphosis]

“At first glance, this is just an ordinary door.”

“Depending on the time, location, person, and weather conditions when opened, different things will appear on the other side of the door.”

“In most cases, the person opening the door will destroy at least one world.”

“But there are exceptions, and everyone believes they are the lucky one.”

“The good news is, we successfully found out what happens when you give a normal person a button that can destroy the world; the bad news is…”

Price: 2,700,000 Silence Points

A product costing over two million Silence Points, Lu Ban could barely scrape together the sum by liquidating all his assets.

From its description, it seemed to be a door tainted with Pollution, and perhaps it was originally the remains of a powerful Chosen by Gods.

The other side of the door might connect to those already destroyed Foreign Domains. Just by opening it, the monsters on the other side or the Pollution could spread over, causing the destruction of this world.

It sounded utterly crazy, but in a dire situation, fighting poison with poison could be useful. If the source of the Demonic Tide could be found, such as dropping the door on the Blood Moon and opening it to let the Demonic Beasts cultivate there, that could indeed be pleasing.

The only issue was dealing with the aftermath once the cultivation was over.

Lu Ban decided to put it aside and turned his gaze to the third item.

A verdant swamp

[Metaphormosis]

[A swamp, beautiful scenery, and a pleasant climate]

[Travelers often venture into this swamp, and by the time they leave, they find an extra self has appeared.]

[The swamp’s duplicate has the same appearance, memories, and personality as the original—it’s impossible to tell who is real, or perhaps they are all real.]

[But what does that matter, everyone needs a duplicate, don’t they?]

[“While touring the swamp, watch out for lightning!”]

[Price: 1,010,101 Silence Points]

Quite cheap, just needing a million Silence Points.

As for its purpose, it can clone humans.

Lu Ban pondered, the underlying mechanism for its operation might involve people entering the swamp and being cloned through some means, creating a confusing mix of real and fake that cannot be distinguished.

If Lu Ban could clone a dozen or so copies of himself, he believed dispersing them around the world to fend off the Demonic Tide would probably suffice.

As for the issues of self-awareness, Lu Ban felt it didn’t matter at all; having two or several hundred selves made no difference, and maybe they could all get together to play mahjong.

After reviewing these three items, Lu Ban suddenly felt inspired.

He didn’t actually need to spend points to buy these expensive items.

He could simply build them himself.

He browsed the shop only to seek inspiration, planning to later clone some of the useful items he found, and even if their effects were not as powerful, the cost-free advantage and his ability to endlessly replicate them meant he would be shearing the wool of the Silent Lands, wouldn’t he?

Even more, Lu Ban could, to a certain extent, replicate things he once owned.

Were those items not lost, just existing in a different way by his side?

With that thought, he immediately went downstairs to the supermarket and bought an old-fashioned radio.

He couldn’t remember the exact model of his previous radio, but he bought a familiar brand, hoping it would last longer.

Upon obtaining the radio, Lu Ban saw countless words unfold before him like pages from a book.

[A sturdy and durable radio, capable of receiving most frequency bands, reliable]

[Excellent sound quality, able to play back the original voices of classic singers]

[Equipped with recording and cassette playing functions, a great aid for learning English]

Lu Ban skimmed through the words and then, after a thought, began writing with a silver steel pen between the lines on the radio.

[Playing audio on certain specific frequencies can cause natural disasters]

[Capable of recording various natural disasters, simple and easy to use]

[The more disasters it withstands, the more charged its battery becomes, a perfect companion for all-nighters]

[Includes basic natural disasters like floods, storms, scorching heat… Fair to both young and old]

Lu Ban, drawing from memory, transferred all the features of the “Small-Scale Catastrophe Generator” to this ordinary-looking radio.

Once the words were imprinted, Lu Ban noticed some changes to the radio.

Its frequency labels had been replaced by the disasters he had just written about, giving it an extraordinary aura.

Lu Ban decided to give it a try.

He looked outside at the gloomy and cold night sky, where light snow was fluttering down, and decided to bring some warmth to this winter.

Lu Ban turned the dial to the [Scorching Heat] setting.

In an instant, it grew light.
