Chapter 12: A Stable Source Of Dog Demon Meat
Even adults like Lin Nan were surprised, let alone the children. The other two kids immediately gathered around, staring in amazement at the apple.
“It really is an apple he made appear!”
“Is he a magician?”
Chen Han looked at the other two children and, smiling, held out his palms to them. “You two, watch your big brother’s palms. I’ll make an apple appear for you too.”
The two children were immediately drawn to his hands.
Even the three couples, including Lin Nan, turned to watch.
At this moment, the Chen Family Head’s palms were completely empty, nothing at all. They even swept their gaze over his body and saw no place where he could hide an apple.
The three women quickly pointed their mobile phones at Chen Han’s palms to record, hoping to find a flaw through the video.
Feeling it was about time, Chen Han flipped and turned both his hands quickly, and apples appeared out of thin air on each palm. He then handed them to the two children. “Here, apples for you.”
The two children were instantly excited.
“It really is an apple he made appear.”
“Amazing, I have a conjured apple too.”
For children, these apples that appeared from nowhere would be etched in their memories for a long time, and they would be reluctant to eat them.
The adults like Lin Nan were completely stunned now.
This time too, they had not seen where he took the apples from.
【Congratulations, through manifestation before people, you have gained 1 point of reputation!】
……
【Congratulations, through manifestation before people, you have gained 1 point of reputation!】
…
In Chen Han’s mind, the game system displayed 6 consecutive prompts for gained reputation, bringing his reputation to 91 points.
With his goal achieved, Chen Han said with a smiling face, “Mr. Lin, I hope our Chen Clan Ancient Architectural Complex will give you all a pleasant visit.”
Xiao Yu was still astonished to see her senior brother make apples appear.
She still could not see through his technique.
However, she did not forget the serious matter. She quickly said to Lin Nan’s group, “Mr. Lin, I will first take you to complete the procedures, then arrange your accommodations.”
Lin Nan and the others could only follow Xiao Yu inside. Along the way, besides the children happily hugging their apples, the three women were watching the video they had just recorded together with their husbands on their phones, growing more and more baffled.
They slowed the video down. Even though they had filmed straight at the Chen Family Head’s hands, they still could not find a flaw.
The apples really seemed to appear in his hands out of thin air.
But that was clearly impossible. This was modern society; there was always a scientific explanation.
They could only feel amazed at how incredible his ancient technique was.
Just from that one trick, they understood why Uncle Zhao said the Chen Clan was not simple.
“I’ll post this on Douyin.”
Lin Nan’s wife liked posting on Douyin. Even though she had hardly any fans, in her view this move from the Chen Family Head was worth posting.
Title: 《Can you tell how this Chen Family Head made the apple appear?》
As soon as the video was uploaded, it started getting views, which meant the most basic stream push had begun and people were watching it.
Sure enough, in no time the video got its first comment:
“Isn’t this just magic? His hands are just fast. Most magicians can do this.”
Lin Nan and his wife felt disdainful toward this comment.
It was not as if they had never seen magic before. What magician would dare use such short sleeves and shorts, without any props, to make such a big apple appear? And still let phones film him up close, slow down the playback, and show no flaw?
Soon, Xiao Yu completed the check-in procedures for Lin Nan and the others, and Chen Han received a payment of 1,950 yuan.
The room was 200 per night, tickets were 100 per adult, three children were under the height limit so got in free, and meals were 100 per adult, half price for children.
After checking the payment information, Chen Han started thinking about the task of inciting dog demon infighting.
The sides were now clear: inside the village, there was the Dog Demon Tribe led by the little earth dog. This dog demon was very arrogant, having barged into the Chen Clan and, when faced with the broom of the family head, still dared to show contempt.
The other faction was the dog demons outside the village. Although this wave of stray dogs outside the village was a bit strange, that was not important.
What mattered was how to provoke the two sides into fighting.
Since the investigation information said stray dogs fought for two reasons: territory and food, he knew what to do.
With this in mind, he went into the Chen Clan to get a big piece of meat, then cut it into slices and headed toward the outside of the village.
When the two groups of stray dogs had fought before, the outsiders had fled in the same direction, so he figured they were over there.
At the same time, he once again took out his Spirit Shadow Mirror and turned on the recorded image function. Having gotten a taste of its benefits yesterday, he felt he should make more use of the Spirit Shadow Mirror.
All for reputation.
Recording as he walked, he said, “As the family head, I deeply feel the threat dog demons pose to the family. Today, I have thought of a method to deal with the dog demons, and that is to incite dog demon infighting!”
He talked as he walked. Before long, under a small patch of peach forest by the village, he saw those stray dogs.
Although the peaches were not fully ripe yet, some had fallen and could serve as one of the food sources for the strays.
These stray dogs were quite clever.
Woof woof!
Two stray dogs noticed this human, Chen Han, and barked at him.
He did nothing but directly threw out a piece of meat. Their barking stopped instantly, and with a tacit understanding they charged straight toward the piece of meat, biting and looting it.
In an instant, the other dogs also noticed the commotion and rushed over.
It was just like in those TV series where beggars see someone give alms to one beggar and they all swarm over.
Chen Han had already started walking back toward the village. As he walked forward, he threw out a slice of meat every so often along the road.
As for whether the stray dogs would follow, he did not doubt their keen sense of smell at all.
Sure enough, before long he heard barking behind him.
The plan was half successful.
Soon, he reached the village entrance and saw a white stray dog wandering there.
Chen Han recognized this dog.
Yesterday when the two dog demon sides fought, it had limped over. He suspected this dog had been beaten and had gone into the village to call the local dogs, triggering the dog demon battle.
But from the looks of it now, its leg seemed much better.
So he decisively threw a slice of meat in front of it, then tossed a few more pieces to the side, and walked away as if nothing had happened.
The white doggy was wandering about when it suddenly felt something was off. Its nose twitched twice, and it lunged for the piece of meat that had fallen from the sky, chewing and swallowing in contentment.
After finishing one piece of meat, it was delicious.
Its keen nose told it there was more nearby. Sure enough, after running forward a few steps, it found several pieces and hurried over to eat them.
But after swallowing two slices of meat, it felt something was wrong. It looked up to see a dense pack of dogs surrounding it.
Woof woof!~
It immediately bristled.
From the side, Chen Han quickly witnessed a brutal scene. Several dogs pounced on the White Dog, violently mauling it. After a few miserable howls, it lifted one leg and limped away toward the village in a sorry state, barking as it ran.
Almost immediately, a chorus of barking rose from inside the village.
The little earth dog and a pack of village strays charged out.
The first time yesterday, the two sides had just barked trash talk at each other, woofing back and forth. The second time they had gone straight into fighting. Now once again dust flew everywhere in a fierce battle.
What really amazed Chen Han was the ferocity of the little earth dog. Small as it was, it went straight for the biggest dog, and that biggest dog was actually intimidated by its aura and kept retreating.
Really a disgrace to dogkind.
In Chen Han’s mind, a game prompt appeared again:
【Your strategy has succeeded. The dog demons’ battle has erupted. The situation is intense, and the surroundings have already been covered by the demonic energy they unleashed. Please hide your position!】
He relaxed at this and focused on watching the show, not forgetting to speak to the recording Spirit Shadow Mirror: “My strategy has clearly succeeded. The dog demons’ battle has erupted. The situation is intense, and the surroundings are already covered by their demonic energy. I must hide my position.”
The game system was not going to charge him narration royalties, was it?
In just a short while, the outcome between the two dog demon sides was decided. The dog demons outside the village lost again and fled in disgrace.
Chen Han saw the little earth dog strutting proudly as it led the dogs back into the village, with the White Dog limping behind on one raised leg.
At the same time, he was drawn to the spot where the dog pack battle had taken place. There, a White Light was still suspended. He hurried over and saw a large, bloody piece of dog demon meat.
Without hesitation, he sent it straight into the Warehouse.
At the same time, a game prompt sounded again:
【You check the battlefield of the dog demons’ intense battle. The dog demons have taken away their companions’ corpses. You only found one bloody piece of dog demon meat, but this internal conflict has not caused any substantial strength loss to either side of the dog demons. You must continue to provoke them!】
Seeing the words “still need to continue to provoke,” Chen Han’s eyes lit up completely.
As long as these two groups of dogs remained, and he kept provoking them to fight every day, would this not be a stable source of dog demon meat?
Then he spoke one last time to the Spirit Shadow Mirror: “Although the dog demons’ battle was intense, their strength seems hardly reduced. It looks like I still need to keep provoking them.”
The new book has already been added and is being promoted. It needs read-through data!
