Chapter 8: Is The Spirit Shadow Mirror Something Everyone Can Have
Chen Han cooperated with his junior sister to finish filming the video, then went back to the lying chair to rest.
Xiao Yu took her mobile phone, came over and sat on the lying chair too, even using her perky hips to squeeze him. “Senior brother, move over a bit for me!”
Though she said “move over,” in action she had already squeezed herself in, half her body pressed against him, not caring whether this small lying chair could handle it.
“Junior sister, have you ever heard the old saying that men and women should keep a proper distance?” Chen Han could not help reminding her. With such an intimate posture, did she not know how good her figure was, or how alluring her drifting fragrance was?
“Senior brother, haven’t we always been like this? I used to be afraid of the dark and you even slept with me to keep me company.” Xiao Yu said this, then suddenly looked at him with a resentful, pitiful gaze. “Is senior brother disliking me now?”
“…” Chen Han was speechless. Back then they had only been a few years old. Still, he really could not stand this expression of his junior sister’s. It made it look like he had bullied her.
He simply stopped talking and let her do as she pleased.
“Hee hee!” Xiao Yu’s lips curled up.
She felt a little pleased with herself.
It was not hard at all to handle her senior brother.
She immediately picked up her mobile phone to edit, splicing the part where her senior brother turned the apple into the segment they had filmed yesterday.
She watched again how her senior brother made the apple disappear, but still could not see any flaws.
“Senior brother, that trick of yours is really amazing.” Xiao Yu could not help praising him again.
When she finished editing and uploaded the video, she did not forget to remind him: “Senior brother, I’ve uploaded the video and @-mentioned your account. If the video data is good, some people should go follow you.”
Chen Han nodded and also took out his mobile phone to open Douyin.
He had already created a Douyin account before, called Chen Family Head.
After all, from the start he had planned to promote the Chen Clan Ancient Architectural Complex on Douyin, and when pursuing his girlfriend he had intended to leverage her influence.
She was a national style internet celebrity with over 3 million fans. Having her help promote the Chen Clan Ancient Architectural Complex would definitely attract a lot of tourists.
Maybe the Chen Clan Ancient Architectural Complex could be turned into an internet-famous attraction.
But after being diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer, he no longer had the energy for any of that and only wanted to lie down and quietly say farewell to this world.
Now, because of this game system, he had no choice but to pay attention, since it concerned his life. Relying only on the spiritual energy rinse from the special spiritual aperture that added half a day of lifespan each day, with his current remaining time, he would at most live 24 more days.
When the time came he would still have to say goodbye to this world.
So he had to upgrade the sect residence to obtain new rewards.
And upgrading required money and reputation, both of which needed tourists, so he had to attract more tourists.
Chen Han searched for his junior sister’s account.
Her “Xiao Yu Za” account already had 600,000 fans, and as long as the videos showed her beautiful sword dance or valiant boxing, each one would get tens of thousands of likes.
When she filmed promotional videos for the Chen Clan Ancient Architectural Complex, those videos only got two or three thousand likes.
They were all lustful viewers drawn by his junior sister’s beauty.
He saw the video his junior sister had uploaded and, perhaps thanks to the sect residence’s attributes of simple and unadorned +2 and ornamental value +2, once the video entered the traffic pool for PK, its data seemed good, quickly getting more than 40 likes.
The traffic pool PK was something he had learned about from his girlfriend. Every video uploaded to Douyin would receive about 500 plays worth of initial traffic.
Within those 500 plays, the PK would begin. If the video was attractive, it would get likes, comments, shares, follows, and collections.
If the data performed poorly, the video might be cut off mid-way with no new traffic. If the data was good, it would enter the next round of traffic PK and get new push streams.
So people with many fans had a greater advantage in this traffic PK, and the data created by old fans would also count toward the PK numbers.
Xiao Yu said in surprise, “Senior brother, this time the promotional video turned out really well. At this rate, this promotional video could exceed ten thousand likes.”
No wonder she was happy. Previously, promotional videos for the Chen Clan Ancient Architectural Complex mostly had two or three thousand likes. People still preferred watching her sword dance and boxing.
Moreover, as some new comments appeared, the smile on her pretty face grew brighter:
“Where is this? It is really rare to see such simple and unadorned pure ancient architecture. I kind of want to visit.”
“It not only has antique charm, but can also maintain such simple and unadorned ornamental value. It is really refreshing. Blogger, can you give the location?”
“…”
Seeing people so interested in the Chen Clan Ancient Architectural Complex, Xiao Yu enthusiastically replied in the comment section, “This is the Chen Clan Ancient Architectural Complex in Shangyuan Village, Linhe County. There is a ticket booking link on my homepage.”
Her dedication was rewarded. She suddenly looked over joyfully to claim credit. “Senior brother, someone used this video to book four tickets for the day after tomorrow.”
“Mm, thank you for your hard work.” Chen Han smiled and patted his junior sister’s head.
His affectionate gesture made Xiao Yu even happier.
As long as her senior brother understood her efforts, then it was not hard work.
She continued to watch the video data and suddenly said, “Senior brother, someone says your ancient technique is special effects.”
Chen Han smiled.
He also saw the new comment: “The scenery of the ancient architectural complex is nice, but is the performance at the end of the video for real? Are you sure those ten apples had nowhere to be hidden? Must be special effects, right?”
There was no need to explain this kind of thing.
Online, sometimes no matter how much you explain, even if it is the truth, people who do not believe will still not believe. The more you explain, the more they might call you a fool.
If you let a fool drag you down to the same level and argue with them, does that not make you a fool too?
At that moment, a game system prompt suddenly appeared, making Chen Han pause.
【Congratulations, through the recorded image transmitted by the Spirit Shadow Mirror, you have gained one supporter and obtained 1 point of reputation!】
“???” Chen Han subconsciously looked at the mobile phone in his hand.
Spirit Shadow Mirror?
Recorded image = video?
Good heavens, the game system was at it again.
The key was that although the data packet it loaded was strange, some things corresponded so well that it felt oddly reasonable.
Who could understand this feeling?
With a vague sense of realization, he opened the Douyin backend and indeed saw that someone had followed him.
It should be someone coming from his junior sister’s video.
In the cultivation world, if you wanted supporters, you needed reputation. Why did the Emei Sect have so many supporters? Because its reputation was high.
Now, gaining fans through filming videos also counted as gaining supporters and could increase reputation.
No, not filming videos. This was clearly gaining supporters through the recorded images transmitted by the Spirit Shadow Mirror.
A treasure like the Spirit Shadow Mirror, from the name alone, was clearly a supreme artifact that not everyone in the cultivation world could possess. It transmitted recorded images and increased supporters. Was that strange?
Was that not perfectly reasonable?
After a while, Chen Han received another game system prompt:
【Congratulations, through the recorded image transmitted by the Spirit Shadow Mirror, you have gained one supporter and obtained 1 point of reputation!】
Chen Han looked thoughtfully at the Spirit Shadow Mirror in his hand. Before this, he had not been enthusiastic about transmitting recorded images, but now that he discovered he could use it to increase reputation, this supreme treasure had to be put to good use.
This time his junior sister’s video had performed much better. By noon, it already had more than 1,000 likes, and through this video 21 tickets had been purchased, which was very good news.
However, when converted to Chen Han’s side, it only helped him gain 7 fans and 7 points of reputation.
In the afternoon, Uncle Dagou and Uncle Shuisheng had already carried back dozens of bamboo stalks.
When he arrived at the pavilion, Uncle was already working with the two uncles and elders to build the fence wall.
Uncle Dagou had a sturdy build and great strength. With a single crack of the cleaver, he split a bamboo stalk open.
Seeing him come, Chen Lin asked, “Xiao Han, I just saw Xiao Yu and she said there will be 30 tourists coming in the next two days. Dagou and the others said they want to try weaving some bamboo handicrafts to see if anyone will buy them. What do you think?”
When he heard this, Chen Dagou looked eager. “Yes, as for bamboo craftsmanship, Shuisheng and I are pretty good and can weave many things.”
For Chen Clan Ancient Architecture Tourism to sell things, what to sell and at what price all had to be decided by Chen Han, the family head.
As family head, Chen Han had the responsibility to help the clan members become more prosperous. Back then, when his father wanted to develop tourism around the Chen Clan Ancient Architectural Complex, he had also had this intention, but it had not achieved much success.
So, seeing that his uncle and the others were bringing it up, and that Uncle Dagou and Uncle Shuisheng clearly wanted to give it a try, he said, “Uncle Dagou, Uncle Shuisheng, you two can first make some bamboo fans, bamboo swords, and similar items as a test. I will study the pricing.”
“Alright.” After getting his answer, Chen Dagou’s face lit up.
While they were talking, a few barks came from outside.
Woof woof woof!~
Chen Han saw that little earth dog striding along the road outside. The key was that there was a group of dogs with it, and together they really did look imposing. If there were some Young and Dangerous style background music playing behind them…
Following behind this pack of dogs was a little white dog with a lame leg, barking the fiercest of them all.
【Crisis warning: demonic energy is spreading in the vicinity of the sect residence. The expelled dog demon has gathered more and more fellow dogs. Please quickly investigate the reason for the dog demons gathering to determine whether it will threaten the sect residence!】
Seeing this prompt, Chen Han stepped out of the area of the Three Old Elm Trees. Since he needed to investigate the dog demons’ purpose, he had to follow and see what was going on.
He saw the little earth dog’s pack of dog demons heading toward the village entrance.
As he followed, he suddenly looked at the mobile phone in his hand.
Thinking of how gaining fans on Douyin brought reputation, he immediately activated the Spirit Shadow Mirror to record. “Hello everyone, I am the Chen Family Head. Recently I discovered dog demons gathering outside the family, demonic energy surging everywhere. Today I am risking myself to track this group of dog demons to find out the truth.”
A task this dangerous definitely had to be recorded through the Spirit Shadow Mirror, and then he had to use the mirror’s function of transmitting recorded images so everyone would know. He wanted to see whether such a dangerous task could gain him supporters and reputation.
