Chapter 105: Of Course Players Will Pull Aggro! Is The Chen Family Head Cultivating?
Chen Han complained as he hurried out of the crucible room courtyard.
Guessing what was going on, he also took out his mobile phone to start recording, and once outside he indeed saw two disheveled men surrounded by the dogs.
Pointing the lens over, Chen Han said, “Today we received a message from righteous path fellow daoists that demonic cult rogues have set their sights on the family’s Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea, so we specially arranged for the family’s spirit beast spirit dog clan to set up an ambush. The demonic cult rogues have indeed walked right into the net.”
Chen Dagou was surprised. There really were thieves?
Xiao Han’s lines were abstract, but what he meant was that these two guys were the thieves.
But these two guys were really unlucky. Not only had Xiao Han found out in advance, they even delivered themselves to the door.
When the two thieves heard what Chen Han said, their faces not only turned ugly but awkward.
They had not even started acting yet. Today they were just scouting the place. Who knew that outside they would hear that the Chen Clan had already found out about what they wanted to steal and was making preparations to catch them.
Frightened, they wanted to leave. Who knew that in their panic they made a commotion and ended up directly surrounded by this pack of dogs.
Was there any thief in the world more unlucky than them?
The key thing was, before coming to the Chen Clan they had naturally done their investigation, watched the abstract video of this Chen Family Head, and now they themselves had become demonic cult rogues?
Their eyes darted wildly. One of them hurriedly said, “Chen Family Head, we are tourists. These dogs scared us.”
The other one also said, “Yes, we were just passing by, we meant no harm.”
Chen Han only sneered. “Whether you mean harm or not, you know that yourselves. Besides, our Chen Clan is not the police and does not need evidence…”
“Thump!”
Before Chen Han finished, the two of them dropped to their knees and began begging for mercy:
“Chen Family Head, spare us…”
“Let us go, we will not dare again!”
What a joke. This was the Chen Clan. These people could all use martial arts, especially that one beside the Chen Family Head. With one punch he had taken down a dog thief before. Their bodies could not withstand that.
Their sudden movement even made You Cai and the other dogs freeze for a moment, not understanding what they were doing, and they subconsciously pulled back a bit.
“Damn, you are this cowardly and still dare to be thieves?” Chen Dagou felt very regretful. After that exhilarating beating of the dog thieves last time, he really wanted another hearty battle, but these two thieves would not give him the chance.
The two thieves seemed to sense the unfriendly gaze from Chen Dagou and shivered in fear.
At this moment, Chen Han looked in surprise at the spot between the two thieves. When the two had knelt just now, they had somehow knocked out a ball of white light.
That was an item drop.
Moreover, what lay within that white light made his eyes brighten. It was actually a spirit stone.
In the Shu Shan Swordsman World, spirit stones were used for cultivation as well as currency, and in the Shu Shan Game World, it was not strange for monsters to drop currency. In fact, this currency had the highest drop rate.
In an instant, staring at these two demonic cult rogues, Chen Han’s eyes shone. He directly ordered You Cai, “Step aside, let them go!”
Woof woof!
Confusion filled You Cai’s dog eyes, but he still did as told and stepped aside.
The two thieves clearly did not expect such a surprise and did not hesitate, immediately bolting.
Chen Han did not hesitate either and shouted to You Cai, “Catch them.”
Woof woof!
A playful, even excited look appeared in the dog’s eyes. Leading his subordinates, he charged after the two thieves.
Surrounded by barking from all sides, the two thieves seemed to understand.
They were being toyed with.
They even saw a mocking look in the eyes of the lead dog.
That human-like expression, with its mouth pulled back to show crisscrossing sharp fangs that seemed to gleam coldly.
If that bit them!
Terrified, both of them again dropped to their knees in front of the approaching Chen Han, begging:
“Chen Family Head, stop playing with us…”
“Send us to the police station…”
Really, being surrounded by about forty dogs was too much pressure.
Chen Han had already picked up the dropped spirit stone and stored it in the warehouse, where he saw the remark information:
【Low-grade Spirit Stone: This is the most basic spirit stone, containing pure spiritual energy that can help cultivators cultivate. It can also be used to arrange formations and likewise can serve as currency for cultivators. However, the spiritual energy contained in a low-grade spirit stone is not much, so its value as currency is not high.】
It was still a low-grade spirit stone.
However, at least this let him know of a method to farm spirit stones.
But when he walked closer and saw the two thieves kneeling again, he could not help feeling a little disappointed, as no more spirit stones dropped.
So, the game system would not let him exploit this bug. Each monster could only be killed once. If it was going to drop, it would drop; if not, it would not.
Moments later, Chen Dagou called an old man over by telephone. The old man was holding a bundle of rope.
The old man was the family elder assigned by the family to guard the crucible room.
Now that Uncle Dagou had formed the Demon Subduing Hall, the guarding family elders also fell under the Demon Subduing Hall’s management.
These two demonic cult rogues were actually lucky. If they had run into this family elder and a fight broke out, if they did not cough up several hundred thousand… if they were not skinned, their tendons drawn, and squeezed for several hundred thousand spirit stones, they should not even think about reincarnating.
“Xiao Han, we have caught them. Should we call the police?” Chen Dagou asked immediately. In modern society, one still had to abide by the law. They had the right to catch thieves in their own home, but not to punish them.
“No rush… I will ask a few things first.” Chen Han looked at the two with a thoughtful expression. If the game system would not allow a bug, then he would think of another way.
Naturally, what came next could not be recorded.
A short while later, the two thieves were tied to a pillar. You Cai, leading his dogs, surrounded them, baring their teeth and barking nonstop.
The two thieves felt their legs go weak.
“Why did you come to steal tea?” Chen Han looked at the two of them, smiling as he asked.
They did not dare hesitate. One of them immediately said, “We saw the New City News report about the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea, and we knew that a rich man had bought some, bought two canisters at once, spending 480,”
“Yes, so we wanted to make a profit.” The other also did not dare hide anything.
Two canisters meant two jin. The 480,000 yuan price was set with a 20% markup according to industry practice by Reporter Wu.
Thinking about it now, he had wrongly blamed Chu Hao, that demonic cult rogue.
Chen Han suddenly smiled at the two thieves again. “Do you know any other thieves? The kind who have committed crimes. Contact them to come steal some Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea together.”
The two froze, then hurriedly shook their heads:
“Chen Family Head, we do not dare, really do not dare!”
“Let us go. We will call the police and turn ourselves in!”
They had figured it out. At most they were attempted thieves. They would not be inside for long. But now, tied up and surrounded by so many dogs, it was really too dangerous.
“No, you dare. And you also have to contact other thieves to pull off a big one.” Chen Han looked at them with a broad smile, and even squatted down to ask You Cai, “You Cai, do you know where you dogs have to bite to make sure they never have descendants?”
Woof woof!
You Cai barked once and directly placed his paw on one thief’s balls.
“Holy crap, you really know!” Chen Han was stunned.
He had only wanted to scare the two thieves. Who knew…
This scared the two thieves so much they almost peed. If that place really got bitten, they would truly be cut off from having children.
Now they also understood that this Chen Family Head wanted to fish for lawbreakers.
But he was not the police, so why was he doing this?
They really could not figure it out.
The thief whose balls were pinned by the dog hurriedly said, “Chen Family Head, I know a group. Their leader is a repeat offender who was wanted not long ago. He is planning to find another chance for a big job. I have a way to contact him.”
“Very good. Your balls are saved.” Chen Han smiled in satisfaction.
Since the game system would not allow bugged drops, then by luring more monsters to be killed, they would have to drop something, right?
As a player, how could he not know how to lure monsters?
As for why they had to have committed crimes, those who understand will understand. This group he mentioned was just right.
As he finished speaking, You Cai removed his paw from the thief’s balls.
At this point, Chen Dagou seemed to understand the goal of his family head and asked, “Xiao Han, you mean to deliberately lure a wave of people here to catch them and kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, so people will stop coming if they do not know what is good for them?”
Chen Han felt Uncle Dagou really could use his imagination. But this was also a reason, so he nodded and said, “Uncle Dagou, I will leave this matter to you. Remember to coordinate with Captain Li at the county.”
“Rest assured and leave it to me.” Chen Dagou promised at once, even a bit eager to try.
Almost at the same time, Chen Han received a game prompt:
【After capturing the two demonic cult rogues sent by Yang Chengzhi, you learned from them that Yang Chengzhi dispatched more than just these two. Therefore, you plan to use these two demonic cult rogues to lure the enemy in deeper, set an ambush, and completely wipe out these demonic cult rogues!】
With a game prompt, it showed that luring monsters to farm spirit stones was feasible.
However, luring monsters would take time, so he left it completely to Uncle Dagou and went back himself.
On the way, he could see clan members moving old things out of their courtyards and starting to renovate and redecorate.
The clan had sent out the message: clear out one room as a guest room. If they were lucky, they could earn 400 yuan a day. That would be 12,000 a month. Some even said if Chen Clan tourism developed well, the daily rate might go even higher.
So everyone was full of energy.
Who would have thought that by clearing out one room in their old houses they could make so much a month?
Of course, daily necessities and such would be at their own expense, and everyone was signing up enthusiastically. The newly returned Chen Xiaoyan would handle unified registration and purchasing.
These people also saw Chen Han passing by and greeted him one after another:
“Patriarch!”
“Patriarch!”
“…”
All of them were very respectful and sincere.
Everyone knew whose merit this prosperity of the Chen Clan was. Really, now if anyone dared not respect the patriarch or dared to sabotage Chen Clan tourism, they would be ready to fight that person to the death.
Chen Han could feel the change. Seeing this, he thought of his father and mother. If they had not encountered the debris flow, they would be very happy to see this scene.
If this were ancient times and he had this kind of prestige, with a single call he could have a group of clan members with clubs and weapons stand up. Whoever he wanted to fight, he would have force.
If the Chen Clan still had many family retainers and servants, countless fields, countless tenant farmers, then with one call he could gather thousands. If they had enough money, sufficient armor and sabers and swords, and a good commander, they could quickly train a thousand elite soldiers.
If the Chen Clan was also famous in the ten miles and eight villages around, and young and strong men were summoned, they could gather several thousand followers. In chaotic times like the Three Kingdoms, this would be the foundation for raising troops. Cao Cao started this way.
But now was the modern era. What he could do was contribute to socialist development and help turn his clan members into people who built a better country.
Earn over 5,000 and you had to pay taxes. Arrange jobs for clan members who would pay taxes. There was nothing wrong with that, right?
That night, after dinner, Chen Han returned to his own courtyard. Today the dogs were watching the two thieves and had not gone up the mountain, so naturally there was no Green Feather Pheasant Meat.
However, with another low-grade spirit stone dropped, after his bath he once more circulated the 《Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method》 for cultivation, absorbing and refining the spiritual energy in the spirit stone.
As he cultivated, his true qi increased bit by bit. At the same time, he kept trying to impact the first meridian.
The next day, when his alarm clock went off, a faint smile appeared on his face. After a night of cultivation, the meridian had been opened a little. This was a good sign.
With the Maoshi hour approaching, he washed up and went downstairs. Today he still did not see any Moon Gazing Sand. The Moon Gazing Rabbits were not delivering. Maybe they needed some pressure?
He had heard that red-steamed rabbit was very good. Should he try eating some in front of those Moon Gazing Rabbits?
Plenty of pressure would improve efficiency.
He sat cross-legged in the pavilion. You Fu and You Cai, this cow and dog, lay down behind him. When the spiritual energy rinse arrived, they squinted and enjoyed it.
Chen Han began cultivating with the 《Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method》, unaware of the passage of time.
After a while, a woman’s voice sounded. “The scenery of the Chen Clan under the morning sun is really nice, especially those ancient buildings. Under the golden rays, they look as if covered with a layer of gold.”
“Mm!” a man replied.
A man and a woman came jogging over. From their matching outfits it was clear they were a couple.
Coming sightseeing but still not skipping their morning run, they were obviously very self-disciplined. Otherwise, who goes running when traveling?
As soon as the couple reached the area around the Three Old Elm Trees, they felt that refreshing comfortable sensation and could not help but speak with emotion:
“It really is comfortable here, just like described online.”
“The flower plant wall is also very beautiful, and those bamboo slips and bamboo are great. Honey, take a video for me to check in.”
They ran up close. The woman went to the flower plant wall and struck a pose.
After recording a video, the two began to examine the flowers on the wall. They really were much prettier than outside.
Then they suddenly noticed an astonishing scene. Inside the flower plant wall, the Chen Family Head was sitting cross-legged, and that internet celebrity cow and internet celebrity dog were lying behind him.
The Chen Family Head sat there motionless as if cultivating, and he seemed almost merged into the surrounding environment.
It was truly miraculous.
“Could it be that this Chen Clan really has some cultivation method?” The woman watched for a while, growing more shocked. Ordinary people could not sit like this for long; their legs would go sore and numb.
“Quick, record it. He has been sitting cross-legged for so long.” The man spoke as he quickly took out his mobile phone and began filming Chen Han, whispering to the phone, “Everyone, do you see this? The Chen Family Head has been sitting cross-legged in that pavilion for a long time without moving. I suspect he is cultivating.”
After he finished filming and saw that the Chen Family Head still had not moved for a long time, he was genuinely impressed.
He could not help posting the video on Douyin with the title: 《So lucky, I caught the Chen Family Head cultivating early in the morning!》
But in no time at all, he discovered that his video had gone viral and even stirred up quite a storm on Douyin.
