Chapter 343: The Mecha Is Complete! The Puppet Is Finally About To Appear!
After the long sword floated in front of Chen Han for a moment, it began to fly around his body as he guided it with his joined fingers.
As his fingers pointed to one place, the sword instantly shot off in that direction.
When his fingers pointed to another place, the sword flew over there with great agility.
After opening his Eight Extraordinary Meridians and successfully entering the Opening Meridians stage, he was already able to control a real sword through the Basic Sword Control Technique.
Of course, because of the weight of a sword, its agility in control was still not as good as steel needles, and its speed was quite a bit inferior to steel.
It was like a 0T engine easily driving a small sedan, but when put into a large SUV, it was more or less lacking.
Especially since those steel needles all had +1 attributes.
Thinking of this, he looked at the Artifact Refining Furnace. The sword his junior sister had given him could also be put into the furnace for refinement, and would definitely gain new attributes.
The Artifact Refining Furnace in the Family Cave Mansion could even produce +2 attributes.
With that in mind, he exited the Family Cave Mansion and appeared in the room on the third floor of the Affairs Hall. He took out his mobile phone and searched for the store of a Longquan weapons blogger.
It was a shop specialized in selling all kinds of imitation ancient weapons. Most of what it sold were models. They were cheap and could be used as toys.
There was one type that was at the level of craftsmanship. Although they could not be sharpened when sold, buyers could sharpen them themselves.
The key was that these craftsmanship-level sabers and swords were forged with modern technology. In ancient times, they would have been at the level of divine weapons.
This really could not be denied. Ancient metal forging techniques could not compare with modern ones.
Chen Han directly chose a rather cool Longquan Sword, then immediately placed an order for 50 of them.
Anyway, he would buy more first, refine them in the Artifact Refining Furnace, see what attributes could be produced, and then see which ones gained +2 attributes.
That way he could pick out the best one.
As for whether 50 swords were too many?
The Sword Control Technique could control one sword, ten swords, or one hundred swords.
After placing the order, Chen Han returned to the Family Cave Mansion. Not long after, the Artifact Refining Furnace stopped refining, and another batch of mecha parts was completed.
Chen Han checked this batch of parts. There was another with +2, and he directly stored it in the Game Warehouse.
The others he casually set aside to decide later how to deal with them.
Next, Chen Han put the Patriarch’s Sword given by his junior sister into the Artifact Refining Furnace for refinement, then sat cross-legged beside it to cultivate.
This time, refining a sword was actually faster than refining those mecha parts.
After about an hour, he received a Game Prompt that the refinement was complete. He immediately opened the Artifact Refining Furnace, took out the long sword, and stored it in the Game Warehouse to check the Remark Information:
【Special long sword: This is a long sword refined by the Artifact Refining Furnace in the Family Cave Mansion. Its impurities have been quenched away, revealing its essence, and it has gained special effects: sturdiness +1, sharpness +1, lightness +1, control +】
Seeing that the sword gained four attributes after refinement, Chen Han’s face showed surprise.
Although no +2 attributes appeared, once the ordered Longquan Swords arrived, as long as he refined one with +2 attributes, the lightness and control alone would allow his sword control to be even smoother and more effortless.
There was also the sharpness attribute. If that reached +2, the power of the Sword Control Technique would be stronger as well.
With sharpness +2, combined with true qi driving the Sword Control Technique, even if it could not slice iron like mud, piercing steel should not be a problem, right?
Thinking this, Chen Han activated the Basic Sword Control Technique. In an instant, the sword in his hand shot out again. This time, he clearly felt stronger control and greater lightness and agility.
If he had to describe it, if he, holding this lightness +1 and control +1 sword, faced his past self holding the original sword, he would be far stronger.
He became even more eager for a +2 sword.
However, that would have to wait until those 50 swords arrived before he could continue refining.
So he also stored this sword in the Game Warehouse, then continued refining parts for the J-16 mecha model.
Once the Artifact Refining Furnace began refining again, Chen Han took out an Intermediate Spirit Stone and resumed cultivating, until continuous reputation prompts appeared in his mind.
【Through the image transmission of the Spirit Shadow Mirror, you have gained 1 Wish Power!】
…
【Through the image transmission of the Spirit Shadow Mirror, you have gained 1 Wish Power!】
In the game interface in his mind, there was always a prompt showing increases in reputation and Wish Power. It was just different from the prompts related to Game Tasks.
For example, right now, the increase in Wish Power was very fast because at the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation Daoist Temple in the Demon Realm, someone was worshiping the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation.
As for reputation, as long as there was popularity about him online, some people would follow him and become fans. So now he posted videos far less frequently than at the beginning, but his number of fans did not decrease in growth.
He already had more than 17 million fans.
But starting just now, his reputation was increasing even faster. And not just a little faster. There definitely had to be a reason.
Most likely he had made it onto the Trending Search, and it probably was not because of the Honor of Kings cosplay.
After all, that activity had started in the morning, and this situation had not appeared then.
So it was unrelated.
He was a bit curious about the reason, so he got up and exited the Family Cave Mansion.
Outside, it was already night.
He took out his mobile phone. Now that the signal had returned, there were indeed many Follow prompts in the Douyin Backend, as well as many mentions of him.
He tapped on one of the mentions, saw the opened video, and showed a look of surprise.
It was actually related to that incident.
Title: 《The Chen Family Head, because of a taxi ride, saved the taxi driver’s pregnant wife and a pair of twins with just a few words.》
“Everyone knows that today in Linhe County there was an Honor of Kings cosplay activity. This event was held jointly by the Chen Clan and Linhe County, and the Chen Family Head actually appeared at this activity.”
“Moreover, when the Chen Family Head took a taxi back to the Chen Clan, something incredible happened. According to what I heard from a taxi driver in Linhe County, when the Chen Family Head got out of the car, he calculated that the driver’s wife was about to give birth, and not only that, he also calculated that she was carrying boy-girl twins and that she would have massive bleeding, and told them to have the doctor prepare type A blood in advance.”
“The key thing is that everything the Chen Family Head said came true. The driver’s wife really gave birth to boy-girl twins, and she really did experience massive bleeding during childbirth. Fortunately, the driver had the doctor prepare blood bags in advance.”
The video’s popularity was very high. Clearly, it was trending, which explained the traffic.
The video comment section was lively:
“Holy crap, blogger, do you take me for a fool? How could the Chen Family Head possibly take a taxi?”
“Haha, I am dying of laughter. A driver tells the doctor to prepare blood bags and the doctor just does it?”
“Chasing popularity, and you cannot even make up a convincing story?”
“…”
Many comments questioned the blogger, thinking he was spouting nonsense.
Chen Han shook his head at this. Many people online had inexplicable confidence. They obviously did not understand much and did not know much, yet they could assertively judge something.
For example, him taking a taxi back. Was that not a very normal thing?
He could drive, but he had never bought a car. When he went out, he either hitched a ride with his junior sister or took a taxi.
These people online knew nothing, yet were absolutely certain that he would not take a taxi.
However, this video was not entirely filled with skeptical comments:
“Holy crap, if I had not seen the other videos first, I definitely would have thought the blogger made it up.”
“Seriously, it was arbitrary of me to say you were making things up earlier. I apologize!”
“I get it now. The Chen Family Head must have calculated that your wife was in danger and specifically took your car.”
“This is real. Many people have proven it, and the doctors in Linhe County have confirmed it.”
“…”
Chen Han immediately tapped into the trending topic linked to this video and entered the topic page. As expected, many videos had appeared there.
Most of these videos were shot by ordinary people, and some by nurses and doctors from the hospital, who, seeing the popularity, had specifically gone to film Liu Hao’s wife.
One was even an interview with a doctor, the one who had delivered Liu Hao’s wife’s baby. “Don’t ask me how I felt. My expression at the time was just like yours now that you know about this. I was just as shocked, okay?”
Among these videos, the one with the most likes was a dashcam recording.
The video began with the driver’s words: “Chen Family Head, I did not expect it to be you. It is truly my honor to have you as my passenger!”
The video had been edited, with the middle of the journey sped up or cut. In the end, Chen Han also heard his own voice:
“I did not expect you to also be someone with good fortune.”
“Ah…”
“Hurry to the hospital… and have the doctor prepare type A blood…”
It was exactly what he had said when he got out of the car, when the Evolution Bagua Plate Fragment suddenly activated. He had told that driver these words, and he had not expected the matter to end up on the Trending Search.
The dashcam recording was the most direct evidence of the event, which was why the data was so high.
“It really is the Chen Family Head’s voice. Holy crap, he really calculated it…”
“This driver must have done some great good in his past life to encounter such a blessing in this one.”
“Is the Chen Family Head really this incredible?”
“…”
After learning the reason, Chen Han put down his mobile phone.
It was already night. He found something to eat, then went back to his room to take a shower, and then re-entered the Family Cave Mansion to continue refining mecha components while cultivating.
…
Online, overnight, the news about the Chen Family Head saving the taxi driver’s wife and boy-girl twins had fully fermented, the popularity rising even higher and letting more and more people know.
The Daoist Priests of the Daoist Sect, after seeing it, immediately went to the Books collection to find several books on divination and began to study.
If the Chen Family Head could calculate this, did it mean that, after Feng Shui and Bagua Zhouyi, yet another miraculous aspect of metaphysics of the Daoist Sect had been proven?
In the capital city.
At the Special Intelligence Analysis Department, as soon as Minister Ma arrived at the office, someone brought him this news to see.
“We have not even fully figured out Feng Shui, Bagua Zhouyi, and illusion arrays yet.” Minister Ma watched the news video, his face full of emotion.
Like those Daoist Priests, he believed that the Chen Family Head had once again proven a facet of metaphysics of the Daoist Sect.
And this divination was the most mysterious of the mysterious, absolutely not comparable to Feng Shui, Bagua Zhouyi, or illusion arrays.
Had the Chen Family Head just deduced the future?
If the future could be calculated, how terrifying would that be?
Compared to these people, the ones who enjoyed discussing it the most were the tourists who had already arrived in Linhe County.
After seeing the news, the most direct way for these tourists to verify it was to ask the taxi drivers in Linhe County.
This was exactly what Cai Mengya did. She had come alone to visit the Chen Clan. Being single, with no boyfriend to accompany her and no like-minded best friend to travel with, she came by herself.
This time she had not managed to book a Chen Clan Feng Shui Room, nor any accommodation in Shangyuan Village, and not even a hotel room in the Ancient City Area.
For the past two days, because of the Honor of Kings cosplay competition hosted by the Chen Clan, hotels in the Ancient City Area had been fully booked. She had only managed to secure a room in a small bed and breakfast in Linhe County.
Landing that was already not bad. Some people online said they could not get rooms at all and had to stay in Qingmin City and take a high-speed train early in the morning to visit the Chen Clan.
That morning she had seen the news about the Chen Family Head calculating that a taxi driver’s wife was carrying boy-girl twins and would suffer massive bleeding.
She had been really shocked, especially after hearing the dialogue in the dashcam video.
So, once she got into a taxi, she immediately asked, “Master driver, is the stuff online about the Chen Family Head guiding that driver true?”
Upon hearing this, the driver excitedly began to describe it. “Girl, let me tell you, it is absolutely true. That driver is called Liu Hao, and we all know him.”
“After he dropped off the Chen Family Head, he posted about it in our driver group. Someone in the group reminded him that this was the Chen Family Head telling him his wife was in danger, so he rushed to the hospital.”
“Many drivers in the group, after hearing about it, went to the hospital out of curiosity. They are all witnesses to this. The doctor at the time was completely stunned…”
The more the driver talked, the more excited he became. This topic was something they simply had to talk about today.
Even if the passengers did not ask, they would bring it up themselves, since it was firsthand information for these drivers.
Hearing all this, Cai Mengya was extremely shocked. From the driver’s excited description, she could tell it was real.
The Chen Family Head was actually this miraculous.
When the car left Linhe County, she saw several vehicles ahead decorated with lights, and one pickup truck even carrying roast suckling pigs and other things.
Seeing this, the driver smiled and said, “Girl, see that? That is Liu Hao. He is going to the Chen Clan to fulfill a vow and thank the Chen Family Head. He even posted videos of preparing all this in our driver group.”
Sure enough, Cai Mengya saw a banner standing on one of the cars in the middle that read, “Thank you, Chen Family Head, for saving my wife and child.”
…
Chen Clan.
In his courtyard, Chen Han was also looking in surprise at the sect residence data:
Upgrade requirements: Money: （359 million/****）. Reputation: （3265 million/****）. Wish Power: （455255/****）. Feng Shui formation: （2/2）. Three Talents Plant forest: （completed）.
Wish Power had directly exceeded 450,
What had been difficult to collect before was now abundant with the Demon Realm side providing a way to grind it up.
What drew his attention most was his reputation, already over 32 million.
It had increased by more than one million overnight. The prompts for reputation were still coming quickly, which meant that many people were seeing the news online and then following him.
This counted as an unexpected surprise from helping others.
Just then, another prompt appeared in his mind that the Artifact Refining Furnace had completed refining.
His face brightened, and he quickly headed to the Affairs Hall, then entered the Family Cave Mansion.
This batch of refined parts was for the last section. As long as there was a +2 among them, this week’s J-16 mecha model refinement could be concluded.
Arriving before the Artifact Refining Furnace, Chen Han directly opened it and took out the components inside.
The last parts refined were the J-16’s weapons, a domineering long sword.
After taking out those weapons, he stored them one by one in the Game Warehouse and checked the Remark Information:
【Puppet accessory weapon: This is a weapon part of a puppet accessory. Because it has undergone special refinement, it has gained special attributes: lightness +1, hardness +1, toughness +1, sharpness +】
Compared to the other parts, the J-16 weapon accessory lacked one flexibility attribute but had an extra sharpness attribute.
However, the attributes were all +
He immediately checked the other parts, going through them one by one; they were all +
Finally, when he looked at the seventh sword, its attributes were different.
【Puppet accessory weapon: This is a weapon part of a puppet accessory. Because it has undergone special refinement, it has gained special attributes: lightness +2, hardness +2, toughness +2, sharpness +】
Seeing this, Chen Han smiled.
It was finally complete.
Without hesitation, he went to another area of the Family Cave Mansion, took out all the +2 mecha parts, and began assembling.
A large mecha model over two meters tall required a lot of effort to assemble. Fortunately, with his strength, it was nothing.
Before long, a complete J-16 mecha model was assembled.
Or rather, it was a complete, very responsive puppet. Now he only needed to use the Demonic Puppet Modification Stone to transform it.
The moment he took out the Demonic Puppet Modification Stone, he heard a Game Prompt:
【The Demonic Puppet Modification Stone has detected a puppet that can be modified. Do you wish to modify the current puppet?】
Chen Han did not hesitate and directly chose yes.
After all, he had spent a whole week refining with the Artifact Refining Furnace for this very moment.
With his decision, the Demonic Puppet Modification Stone instantly flew from his hand, emitting a strange, dark glow that enveloped the J-
In the next moment, that dark glow began to condense into mysterious runes that started to flow over the demonic puppet.
Almost at the same time, as if something had been drawn, there was movement nearby.
Chen Han subconsciously looked over and saw a very shocking scene.
What the hell was going on now?
