Chapter 57: 057. The cat is really cute_1

If “Testament” initially allowed Lu Ban to become a perfect repeating machine, then after the Essence Extraction, the second-level “Testament” acquired the ability to let others hear the repeated sounds.

Sounds, speech, characters, anything included in Lu Ban’s Speech Bullets could be fired at the target, pouring this information into their heads.

Lu Ban had just conducted a test using Qin Tiantian.

With just one Speech Bullet, he made “Good Fortune Comes” play on repeat next to Qin Tiantian’s ear.

If Lu Ban continued to fire Speech Bullets, around three shots later, Qin Tiantian would not just hear the background music. All sounds she heard, all characters she saw, and all information she received would become nothing but “Good Fortune Comes,” completely shaped by it.

Compared to the first level, where Lu Ban needed to use his own voice to produce sounds, the second-level “Testament” could be said to have expanded the usage range tremendously.

“Still, it’s just a repeating machine…”

After a rush meal with the startled Qin Tiantian, Lu Ban returned home, sat in front of his computer with its icons changed to system text, and was confirming the configuration of his Speech Bullets.

“Six Speech Bullets. The murmur of that great being is definitely needed, and it might become my biggest trump card for now. Through the effects of the second-level ‘Testament,’ I can directly inject it into the minds of other people or creatures, subduing my enemies without affecting myself.”

“Du Danping’s playing could actually be erased; I’ve mastered the melody of his superpower ability, and ordinary piano sounds can only serve as entertainment.”

“‘Good Fortune Comes’ is pretty good for warding off evil and can enhance the show’s effects. It’s a must-keep.”

“The sixth bullet should be saved for emergencies.”

“I need to refill three Speech Bullets…”

Lu Ban casually browsed the internet, watching some videos for inspiration.

“How about some taboo songs, fighting poison with poison?”

“Or perhaps a scripture, the light of the righteous path cast upon the earth?”

As he watched videos, the smart recommendations quickly diverted Lu Ban to the pet zone.

Twenty minutes later, Lu Ban had finished watching the sixth cat-stroking video.

“Cats are really cute.”

He saw a related recommendation below with videos of bats.

“Hmm? If ‘Testament’ can repeat sounds, can’t it also record sounds that humans can’t hear?”

The human hearing range is from 20hz to 20000hz, but there are many more sounds in nature beyond that.

Bats have ultrasonic location abilities, and dogs can hear some infrasound.

Lu Ban opened a bat video, materializing “Testament” in his hand and listened carefully.

Instantly, he heard a special, unheard kind of sound.

These sounds, like shrieks, echoed around the room.

Lu Ban closed his eyes, and these echoes reached his ears one after the other. The order of their arrival naturally formed a vague pattern in his mind.

Th𝓮 most uptodate nov𝑒ls are publish𝒆d on ƒreewebηoveℓ.com.

It was the layout of his room.

Lu Ban immediately rotated the cylinder of “Testament,” recording the bats’ ultrasonic waves.

“It turns out my hearing also improves while holding ‘Testament.’ That being the case, the murmur of that great being might also contain frequencies that human ears can’t capture.”

With that in mind, Lu Ban opened another video that was said to contain low-frequency infrasound.

Holding the revolver, Lu Ban listened but didn’t hear any unusual sounds.

“It looks like this video is fake…”

He looked at the screen full of comments like “uncomfortable,” “infrasound is so scary,” and “my heart is racing,” and came to this conclusion.

Infrasound can cause resonance with certain human organs due to its similar vibration frequency and can easily lead to internal damage. Thus, it’s strictly regulated internationally.

“Whales and elephants can emit infrasound, so should I go to the zoo to check it out?”

Lu Ban searched on Baidu.

“Should I find some sounds with less lethal effects?”

Infrasound and the murmurs of that great being were too deadly for humans. With such sounds, one can meet death or be severely injured. As a kind-hearted, gentle, and ordinary person—not some dark mastermind or great villain—how could Lu Ban constantly use such cruel methods to subdue enemies?

“Ideally, some sounds could induce sleep or temporarily disable one’s ability to act after listening.”

He opened the ASMR section; the young ladies here had beautiful voices and were skilled at lulling people to sleep. Lu Ban felt that he would definitely find something valuable.

Half an hour later, Lu Ban exited that part of the forum.

“Not only did I not feel the slightest bit sleepy, but I’ve become more and more alert. This is not good, not good.”

Brisk and energetic, he searched again for keywords like “aid with sleep” and “Peaceful sleep.”

“The sound of rain? The sound of a furnace? Although these sounds do seem nice, they don’t really do much in a sober state.”

Lu Ban then came across a video with tens of millions of views titled, “Hypnosis Divine Comedy! No one has ever managed to listen to the full eight minutes!”

Looking through the comments, it seemed extremely effective; as long as you played it within earshot, you’d inevitably fall asleep within eight minutes.

He clicked the play button, hands in front of him holding “Testament,” and listened carefully.

Eight minutes later, amid a swarm of “I’ve fallen asleep” comments on the screen, Lu Ban turned off the video.

“Useless,”

he assessed.

“It seems all this talk of hypnosis divine comedy is bogus. Rather than relying on these, I should just go directly for physical hypnotherapy.”

Lu Ban then found a stunning bullet video, capturing the shrill and piercing buzz into “Testament.”

He now had 4036 Silence Points left. Hoping for fine-quality items was out of the question, and moreover, Lu Ban saw that on “Testament,” which had already undergone Essence Extraction, something else had appeared.

“Testament”

[Inherent]

“First Level Essence”

[Refineable]

Good gracious.

Lu Ban exclaimed in amazement.

After one round of Essence Extraction, “Testament” was capable of a second extraction.

In an instant, Lu Ban felt this ability might be a bottomless pit.

As everyone knows, drawing a character and maxing that character out are completely different concepts.

The former can still be considered luck-dependent, but the latter relies entirely on one’s wallet.

And when Lu Ban put his finger on [Refineable] to see the conditions for Essence Extraction, he was completely dumbfounded.

“Essence Extraction”

“Sublimation Qualitative Change”

“Consume resources in exchange for miracles”

“Suggested Attempt”

“Silence Points needed: 50,000 points”

“Material required: The Merciful Statue of the Black Queen Mother”

“Material required: Remains of the Sage”

“Material required: Sigh of the Ever-Changing Fog”

Fifty thousand Silence Points were already a huge sum; according to the rate at which Lu Ban was progressing, it would take at least five or six missions to possibly reach that amount.

What in the world were those other three materials?

He placed his finger on “The Merciful Statue of the Black Queen Mother” and read the description.

“The Merciful Statue of the Black Queen Mother”

“Some regions of the Black Forest have a belief in the Black Queen Mother”

“They think that by worshipping this Divine Being, one can find salvation amidst darkness”

“Even if it requires the blood sacrifice of relatives, it is seen as a test from the Divine Being”
