Chapter 175: Because It’s Been Proven, The Chen Family Head Stops Acting?
Those who follow the Chen Clan still remember the Cloud Barrier Technique.
But in their memory, was that not just a special effect?
Some even wondered if they remembered wrong and hurried to check the comment section:
“Holy crap, the Cloud Barrier Technique is not a special effect?”
“The Chen Family Head is going to perform special effects? Can someone tell me how to perform it?”
“I don’t think I remembered wrong. The Cloud Barrier Technique is a special effect. I even thought it was fun at the time and shot one.”
“……”
They really did not remember wrong; it was a special effect.
Now the Chen Family Head is going to perform the Cloud Barrier Technique?
Could it be that the Chen Clan really has spells?
Because the matter of people suffering bad luck after doing bad things to the Chen Clan has already been solidly confirmed online, is he flipping the table now?
Is he done pretending?
Many people who followed the Chen Clan later, or only recently, do not have much impression of the Cloud Barrier Technique yet, so they immediately pick up their mobile phones to search what is going on.
Then quite a few people have their memories revived.
Back then, this little Cloud Barrier Technique special effect was popular for a while, and many people filmed special effects videos of this Cloud Barrier Technique.
There was even a girl who said this was a real spell and that she personally saw the Chen Family Head use this spell, and she even posted a video where the cloud mist had not completely dispersed. But Douyin released this Cloud Barrier Technique special effect, and then no one believed her anymore.
Now the Chen Family Head is actually going to perform this Cloud Barrier Technique!!!
Zhao Yuanyuan came across this video while resting at work. In that instant, she stood up directly, feeling as if her injustice had finally been redressed.
Back then she had posted a video saying the Chen Family Head was using a spell under the cover of special effects. She saw it with her own eyes. To let everyone know the truth, she even spent two thousand yuan to boost it with dou+.
In the end, no one believes it when you tell the truth…
Now that she sees this video, she does not hesitate at all. She immediately starts a mobile phone recording: “Back then I said it, I saw with my own eyes the Chen Family Head using the Cloud Barrier Technique, over at the Chen Clan martial arts field. Yet you still did not believe me. Now the Chen Family Head cannot keep up the act and is about to lay his cards on the table.”
She uploads it to her Douyin. Title: 《The Chen Family Head was using a spell under the cover of special effects!》
After thinking for a bit, she opens dou+ again and directly spends another two thousand yuan to push the stream.
She must win back this breath this time.
Because she invested DOU+, many people following this matter see her video, and quite a few people quickly comment in the comment section:
“Beauty, I think I cursed at you back then. Now my head is a bit dizzy.”
“Seeing that the Chen Family Head is going to perform the Cloud Barrier Technique, I am dizzy too!”
“The Cloud Barrier Technique really is not a special effect?”
“……”
This time, seeing these comments, Zhao Yuanyuan feels very pleased. These ignorant people once questioned her and said she was just seeking attention.
Inside a tea leaves shop in Linhe County.
Lin Nan （chapter 11） also notices Zhao Yuanyuan’s video. He counts as one of the earliest people to go play at the Chen Clan.
When he took his family to play there, the Chen Clan did not have many tourists yet. At that time, the Chen Family Head even performed an ancient technique and conjured an apple for his son.
Later, because of business matters, he had no time to visit the Chen Clan again, but he has always been following the Chen Clan.
He knows about the Chen Clan’s tourism development, that tourists are increasing, and that the Chen Family Head has become an internet celebrity with over two million fans.
To be honest, this speed of development is really surprising. Previously, not many people in Linhe County knew about the Chen Clan, and in a short time there are hardly any who do not know about it.
Just in his own Moments, every day he can see people posting videos and photos of trips to the Chen Clan.
For this Chen Clan National Style Event, he also bought tickets and plans to take his wife and child to visit again.
He has never really participated in this kind of national style event before and does not understand it. But now it is being held right at his doorstep and is so lively, so he naturally wants to go take a look.
So he has also followed the Chen Clan’s performance program schedule and naturally sees the Cloud Barrier Technique performance.
The Cloud Barrier Technique performance is on the third day of the Chen Clan National Style Event.
Previously, he had seen videos of the Cloud Barrier Technique special effect. His wife even filmed this special effect video with their child.
Now he is told this Cloud Barrier Technique is real, and the Chen Family Head is going to perform it?
But when he thinks of the Chen Family Head’s ancient technique, conjuring an apple in front of them without them seeing how it was done, it makes him feel that this Cloud Barrier Technique… maybe…。。
The more he thinks, the more astonished he becomes.
Online, after Xiao Mi posts this performance schedule, because of the Cloud Barrier Technique, for a time people booking tickets online for the Chen Clan National Style Event become even more enthusiastic.
After all, the news and videos about the Chen Clan that have broken out during this period seem to suggest the Chen Clan truly has mysterious power that looks like special effects.
Now the Chen Family Head is actually going to perform a Cloud Barrier Technique that has already been confirmed as a special effect. How can that not attract attention? How can it not astonish people?
Many people even rush to follow the Chen Family Head’s account.
At night, during dinner time.
Chen Han looks at the game prompts constantly appearing on the light screen in his mind:
【Congratulations, through Spirit Shadow Mirror transmission, you have obtained 1 reputation.】
…
【Congratulations, through Spirit Shadow Mirror transmission, you have obtained 1 reputation.】
A dense flood of prompts keeps appearing.
He then looks at the related data in his mind:
Upgrade requirements: Two hundred million in money （9132 million/200 million）. One million reputation （9556 million/1 million）. Ten thousand wish power (362/10000).
After that is the number of fans on the Chen Family Head’s account:
69 million fans.
In a short period, he has added quite a lot of fans. After this national style event ends, the number of fans should increase by another large chunk.
“Senior brother, let me tell you something.” Xiao Yu finishes dinner and suddenly speaks to him.
“What is it?” Chen Han asks in confusion.
Xiao Yu explains, “Previously for the national style event, over five thousand tickets were sold, right? Today, more than one hundred and thirty people refunded their tickets. Some who booked Feng Shui Rooms also canceled, and those canceling are all couples.”
As she says this, an obviously strange expression appears on Xiao Yu’s face.
Xiao Mi Jie is the same.
Chen Lin next to them is also drawn in by these words.
After all, that news about the man taking his girlfriend there, the girlfriend getting bad luck and being exposed for cheating, was very hot.
The key is they all know from Chen Han that the Chen Clan really does have this kind of special power.
Chen Lin cannot help but complain, “Young people these days are really a mess. It is still better to be single and free.”
When Chen Han hears this, he feels like this is a sin. He had been thinking about how to coax his uncle into finding a partner and having a child.
Now why does his uncle look like he has achieved enlightenment in matters of feelings?
However, with just over five thousand tickets and more than one hundred and thirty refunded, this proportion is rather big. It is not clear how many of those are couples.
If this goes on, will the Chen Clan’s proper Daoist sect place become a place for marriages and divorces?
Should the Chen Clan set up a statue of the Matchmaker God?
Thinking this, Chen Han also shakes his head.
At this time, Xiao Yu says again, “Under normal circumstances, these refunded tickets should be put back up for other tourists to grab. But Lobster and her support fans are coming, so Sister Xiao Mi and I plan to allocate the tickets to Lobster and her group.”
“Mm!” Chen Han nods. There is no need to consult him on this kind of thing. They can decide for themselves.
Besides, this kind of human relationship handling is normal.
After dinner, he goes back to his own courtyard and finally sees Doggy returning late. As soon as Doggy sees him, he trots over happily, wanting help taking off the armor he is wearing.
Chen Han, however, shows a look of surprise, because two clusters of White Light are floating above Doggy’s back today. So this is why he came back late?
He gathers up the two light clusters and checks the warehouse. They turn out to be one piece of Thunder Bamboo Spirit Mouse Meat and one piece of Green Feather Pheasant Meat.
This is another double drop.
The last time he had two items drop at once was a long time ago, during the great battle between the Mysterious Frost Lion Head Goose army and the Dog Demon Tribe.
It was just that last time, all the drops came from the Dog Demons.
This time, there are two kinds of demonic beasts.
What surprises him even more is the sudden game prompt:
【Today the Dog Demon King has respectively brought back Green Feather Pheasant Meat and Thunder Bamboo Spirit Mouse Meat for you. Judging from the meat quality of these two kinds of meat, there are traces of power attributes that do not belong to them.
From the trace of Thunder Attribute Power from the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Mouse remaining on the Green Feather Pheasant Meat, and the Wind Attribute Power of the Green Feather Pheasant remaining on the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Mouse Meat, it seems the two sides fought!
It seems something has happened on Green Luan Peak, and Green Luan Peak is too close to the family. Perhaps you should find time to investigate Green Luan Peak!】
This is clearly a new game plot, or rather the unfolding of a side plot. Normally, the battle between the Green Feather Pheasant and the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Mouse should have been caused by the Dog Demon King and his group.
Otherwise, the meat of these two demonic beasts would not have ended up with him.
While he is thinking this, the game system presents a task prompt:
【Special family task: The demonic beast meat offered by the Dog Demon King makes you suspect that something has happened on Green Luan Peak. Now that Green Luan Peak already belongs to the Chen Clan, please investigate all conditions on Green Luan Peak as soon as possible to feel at ease. Current investigation progress: 0%.】
Chen Han did not expect this could trigger a task, but having a task is a good thing. After all, upon completion he can obtain rewards.
And special family tasks always grant things that help develop the family, like the previous Body Tempering Pill.
Thinking this, he goes into the attic, takes a bath, and then comes out and takes out a Spirit Stone that is almost exhausted to cultivate.
Cultivation is still the most important thing.
……
The next day, as the alarm clock rings, Chen Han gets up as well, washes up, goes downstairs, does his usual check on the Moon Gazing Rabbit Hutch, and then heads to the Special Spiritual Aperture to cultivate.
In July, after the Maoshi Hour, the sun rises even earlier, and the morning glow is more blazing.
After finishing cultivation in the Special Spiritual Aperture, Chen Han, as usual, goes to Uncle’s Kitchen and starts handling the medicinal cuisine.
He is still processing Thunder Bamboo Spirit Mouse, and he will later use the processed Thunder Bamboo Spirit Mouse Bones to soak in wine.
Once the medicinal cuisine is set to stew, he takes the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Mouse Bones and soaks a jar of wine.
After that, he heads to the mountain behind the Chen Clan.
In the game plot, this mountain is Green Luan Peak.
In reality, this mountain has already been dedicated by Mr. Liu to the Chen Clan as a Merit Industry, but it has not yet been developed.
Mainly, they do not know how to develop it. In Linhe County there are too many mountains like this. Simply developing it as a sightseeing spot, opening a few paths and building a few pavilions on the mountain, does not seem necessary.
There are far too many such deceptive scenic spots outside. They cannot give people a refreshing feeling, so it is better to wait for some inspiration or for the game system to provide some rewards before developing this mountain.
Because people from the village have not gone up the mountain for activities for a long time, the small paths everywhere on the mountain are overgrown with weeds.
Fortunately, Chen Han does not plan to investigate the entire mountain in one go. That is unrealistic, since the mountain is quite large.
He mainly wants to see the investigation progress, so after walking for one hour, he goes down the mountain.
He looks at the investigation progress of the family task on the light screen in his mind: 5%.
It seems he really must investigate the entire mountain clearly. This will have to wait until after the national style event ends, when he can find time to conduct a focused investigation.
Back at the Chen Clan, he sees Captain Huang Xin, the tourism police officer, leading a patrol, with far more people than usual, or rather, many more.
This is to coordinate with the Chen Clan’s three-day national style event, with extra personnel sent from the county to maintain order.
Although the Chen Clan National Style Event has sold just over five thousand tickets, that does not mean only about five thousand people will come. For this kind of event, it is certain that very many local people from Linhe County will come to join the fun.
Even people from nearby Qingmin City will likely come to join the fun.
This is beyond doubt.
The county can basically confirm that barring accidents, this Chen Clan National Style Event will be a big hit. By then, Linhe County will become famous along with it and gain great benefits, gaining economic benefits in all aspects.
The county is even planning to find an opportunity afterward to hold its own national style event. Although most of the ancient buildings in this ancient county were demolished by the previous leaders in the push for modern economic development, quite a few remain and can be developed.
They cannot do the entire ancient county, but creating a small ancient city ruins site is still possible, and setting up a venue for a national style event there will be no problem.
The capacity of such a place would definitely surpass that of the Chen Clan.
Of course, to hold such an event also requires influence. Linhe County itself definitely cannot manage it alone.
Fortunately, there is the Chen Family Head and his junior sisters, and also Xiao Mi, and strictly speaking, also Ming Di. If the county appeals to the Chen Family Head and offers some policies, it should be possible.
Of course, the premise is that this Chen Clan National Style Event is a great success and has an excellent reputation.
So right now the county cares about the Chen Clan National Style Event even more than the Chen Clan itself. Tomorrow, traffic in all directions leading into the Chen Clan will have traffic police specifically assigned to maintain order.
“Chen Family Head.” Seeing him, Huang Xin also walks up with a smile to greet him.
“Captain Huang, thank you for your hard work.” Chen Han smiles in response. After all, they support each other.
After chatting for a while, Chen Han leaves and returns to Uncle’s Kitchen.
Just as the medicinal cuisine broth is starting to dry up, it is the perfect time to add boiling water. After that, he begins preparations for the performances of the next day.
The Chen Clan National Style Event lasts three days. He has four performance programs, which naturally cannot all be on the same day. On the first day he will perform the ancient technique. On the second day he will cooperate with Xiao Mi to play the Immortal Melody, and then perform an Outer Realm Demonic Melody alone, which will probably have thousands of people dancing on the spot.
The last day will naturally be the Cloud Barrier Technique performance.
Now the whole internet is already focused on the Cloud Barrier Technique. Its popularity is at its peak. This is definitely a good start for the Chen Clan National Style Event.
For the first day’s ancient technique performance, he will need to put a lot of things into the warehouse, so he can put on a show when the time comes.
First he has to prepare some apples. After all, he first became popular for conjuring apples. After that, he can prepare some flowers. He chooses lotus buds.
Lotus flowers in the Daoist sect also represent purity and transcendence. They are flowers with a very good meaning.
He directly orders a batch of lotus buds. Each one is only about five yuan. The price is not high, but sometimes receiving a bouquet of flowers, which represents a good meaning, can put people in a good mood.
By evening, this batch of lotus buds arrives. Their cut stems are protected with transparent tubes filled with water, allowing the lotus buds to stay fresh for more than three days.
Of course, if these buds are manually opened into full flowers, they can only last for about one day.
Once these lotus buds arrive and are carried into his courtyard, he directly stores them in the warehouse.
And the quantity he ordered is far more than needed for a single performance. He also plans to give some lucky tourists a surprise.
For this purpose, he calls over the Fu Lu Shou Three Bulls and instructs them, “If you find any tourists who have a good temper and seem pleasing to the eye, you can bring them to me. I will prepare a gift for these tourists. But do not bring them randomly. Each of you can bring fifty people.”
This counts as a specially arranged little surprise.
After all, everyone knows the three bulls can welcome guests. To be suddenly led to a mysterious place and receive an apple and a lotus flower will definitely be a novel experience and a pleasant surprise.
Because they have developed spiritual intelligence, and with the help of the game system’s special functions, the three bulls clearly understand his words and moo in response to him.
As the Chen Clan National Style Event approaches, the online popularity around the Chen Family Head’s Cloud Barrier Technique performance climbs higher and higher.
And many tourists who bought tickets for the national style event have already arrived during the night.
By the second day, the atmosphere at the Chen Clan and in Shangyuan Village is completely different.
Early in the morning, Village Chief Guo Zhen has the villagers go to the Cultivation Market to set up stalls and carefully checks the items on the villagers’ stalls.
He does not want any villager’s foolishness to ruin the reputation of Shangyuan Village.
Not only Shangyuan Village villagers; people from other villages near the Chen Clan also come early to set up stalls. When the Cultivation Market cannot fit them all, they can only set up inside Shangyuan Village.
There is no other choice. After all, if the village forbids stalls, these people will set up along the road, which would certainly affect traffic and be very bad for the event.
Today, after Chen Han gets up early, he unusually does not go to the Special Spiritual Aperture to cultivate, but directly goes to Uncle’s Kitchen to start processing demonic beast meat.
During the three days, there will be quite a few winners of the medicinal cuisine lottery. He needs to prepare the medicinal cuisine in advance and make plenty.
The Chen Clan National Style Event officially begins!
