Chapter 58: The Way To Make Money: Collusion Between Righteous And Demonic!
The next day!
Chen Han woke up to the alarm clock. Picking up his mobile phone, he saw the Douyin backend constantly flashing prompts, and he immediately tapped on the 《Shocking, the demonic cult rogue was actually stripped naked by the Mysterious Frost Lion Head Goose…》 video.
The data really exploded. After just one night, it had directly reached 135,000 likes.
The Chen Family Head account’s fans had also reached more than 15,
Checking the reputation, it had also increased by more than 4,000, bringing the total reputation to 11,
This was already one-fifth of the requirement for leveling up.
And judging from the growth trend of this video’s data, it would probably break through the 500,000-like threshold, and then would bring quite a lot more reputation.
In a very good mood, Chen Han washed up, then headed to the Special Spiritual Aperture. As he sat cross-legged, he also took out the Cloud Barrier Cauldron and set it to the side.
Then, he circulated the 《Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method》, guiding spiritual energy into his body for cultivation as the spiritual energy rinse passed through.
After this cultivation session ended, his lifespan increased again, reaching half a year.
Picking up the Cloud Barrier Cauldron to check, he found that during the spiritual energy rinse it had absorbed enough spiritual energy and recovered its refinement uses.
Fortunately there was the Special Spiritual Aperture, otherwise once the Hundred Flowers Palace Spirit Jade and this Cloud Barrier Cauldron were used up with no spiritual energy replenishment, they would be no different from scrap.
However, this Special Spiritual Aperture could only perform a spiritual energy rinse once at the Maoshi hour each day, which really placed a great limit on cultivation. Because of the consumption from lung cancer, even now he had not managed the most basic step of guiding refined true qi into the dantian to construct an internal circulation.
He did not know whether this Special Spiritual Aperture would upgrade later. Otherwise, when would he ever achieve success in cultivation?
Chen Han put away the Cloud Barrier Cauldron, went to Uncle’s Kitchen and started preparing medicinal cuisine. He had just finished processing the Dog Demon Meat and placed it into three stew pots when his junior sister ran in angrily.
“What is it now?” Chen Han asked in puzzlement.
Xiao Yu said in frustration, “Senior brother, didn’t your video blow up this morning? That Ming Di is riding your popularity again, completely shameless.”
“How is he riding it this time?” Chen Han was surprised. That guy had just been stripped naked, his balls nearly ruined, and he still did not learn his lesson?
“See for yourself, his skin is so thick!” Xiao Yu said, extremely speechless.
Chen Han took out his mobile phone, checked that Ming Di’s Douyin account, and was dumbfounded.
The other party had actually changed his name to: Ming Di （Demonic Cult Rogue）
He had added the suffix of demonic cult rogue at the end.
The key point was that early this morning he had also posted a new video, with the title: 《As a member of the demonic cult, I swear to fight the Chen Clan to the death!》
Clicking into the video, he saw Ming Di with his entire body wrapped in bandages, looking badly injured, and with a fierce expression he spoke toward the lens: “As an elite of the demonic cult, I was ordered this time to infiltrate the Chen Clan to investigate the Chen Clan’s Beast Taming Technique, intending to seize their spirit beast, the Mysterious Frost Lion Head Goose. Who knew I miscalculated and was grievously injured by their Mysterious Frost Lion Head Goose? I will definitely repay this hatred.”
“????” Chen Han was truly a bit dumbfounded.
The game system had assigned this guy the identity of a demonic cult rogue, and he had actually thrown himself into the role?
He finally understood why they said you had to have a thick skin to play on the internet.
This guy was eating black traffic.
Just looking at his comments, it was clear this wave of black traffic was being devoured very successfully:
“Holy crap, it’s the real balls rogue!”
“Demon, the way you ran off clutching your balls made me spit out a mouthful of Spirit Spring.”
“Haha, I’m willing to name you the unluckiest demonic cult rogue.”
“……”
“Senior brother, this guy is too shameless.” Xiao Yu was very displeased.
Chen Han smiled. The other party’s shamelessness was his own; there was really no need to get angry over such a thing. It was better to go process Dog Demon Meat.
Also, with the other party making such a fuss, he was no longer the only abstract one.
After lighting the fire to stew the medicinal cuisine, he left the kitchen, went to the Spirit Beast Hall, and led the Mysterious Frost Lion Head Geese out of the Chen Clan.
From afar he saw members of the Chen Clan feeding leftovers to the Little Earth Dogs and the others.
It was the same process again. When the Dog Demon Tribe happily finished eating those waste spirit dregs and leftover spirit broth that the Chen Clan had deliberately placed out, the Mysterious Frost Lion Head Geese all swooped forward in unison.
Once more, it was a battle of flying sand and rolling stones, an incomparably fierce battle between demon dogs and spirit beasts.
This scene was captured by several tourists who had come yesterday.
It seemed that this Chen Family Head brought the lion head geese over every day to fight these dogs. It had become like a daily set piece.
No one knew that, after the battle ended, Chen Han quietly stepped forward and stored a piece of dropped Dog Demon Meat into the warehouse.
However, when he was about to take the lion head geese back to the Spirit Beast Hall, he unexpectedly saw that Ming Di.
Bandages were still wrapped around the other man’s head and hands, making him look seriously injured.
When Chen Han looked at him, the other man suddenly shouted, “Chen Family Head, this time you were lucky. As a demonic cult elite, I will be back.”
After shouting, he glanced fearfully at the lion head geese, then immediately turned and ran off like a streak of smoke.
Seriously, his balls still hurt a bit. He did not know which bastard goose it was that had bitten and twisted, really almost…
The assistant who was holding a mobile phone and filming hurriedly followed.
“……” Chen Han could not help being stunned. Why did he feel that the other party was more immersed in the role than he was?
He was truly able to bend and stretch.
Shaking his head, he sent the Mysterious Frost Lion Head Geese back to the Spirit Beast Hall, then returned to Uncle’s Kitchen to tend to the medicinal cuisine, and saw his uncle again practicing boxing with Uncle Dagou and Uncle Shuisheng.
Uncle Dagou’s figure was already robust and rugged, and his punches really had a bit of a fierce, gusty feeling.
Chen Lin saw him come in and reported with a smile, “Xiao Han, I’ve already helped you arrange for red plum blossom, persimmon, and bamboo bonsai. They can be delivered this evening.”
Chen Han nodded, went into the kitchen to check the medicinal cuisine, then continued to take out the Daoist Scripture Notation and study it. He was down to the final part now, and then he could practice the 《Ancient Quiet Heart Art》 notation.
Suddenly, a game prompt surprised him:
【A demonic cult rogue who had been lurking in the family’s territory was pressured by the aura of the Work Hall elder and two family experts, revealing a trace of demonic cult aura. The other party seems to be coming for you!】
“???” Chen Han was truly surprised. It was really sudden.
One demonic cult rogue had just left, and now another?
Thinking of how Ming Di, that demonic cult rogue, dropped a damaged Cloud Barrier Cauldron, he was a bit eager to continue eliminating demons and defending the righteous path.
But when he saw the young brother and sister brought in by his junior sister, he opened his mouth without speaking.
“Senior brother, this Mr. Chu says he wants to see you and talk about business with you,” Xiao Yu said as she brought the siblings in.
As soon as he entered, Chu Hao was drawn to the three stew pots. The medicinal fragrance of the Chen Clan’s medicinal cuisine was truly intoxicating.
Then he greeted Chen Han with a face full of smiles. “Chen Family Head, hello, my name is Chu Hao. I have a business I’d like to discuss with you.”
“May I ask what kind of business Mr. Chu wants to discuss?” Chen Han asked, with a trace of surprise on his face.
Previously, he had taken the other party for a demonic cult rogue plotting to seize the Mysterious Frost Lion Head Geese, and had even let the geese charge him, but the system had not responded, and the demonic cult rogue had turned out to be someone else.
So, he had dropped his suspicion.
Now the game suddenly told him that this person was also a demonic cult rogue?
That was quite abrupt.
Completely unexpected.
And this demonic cult rogue was clearly not the same type as someone like Ming Di.
He wondered if knocking this one down now would cause an item drop?
After waiting so long, Chu Hao had finally come forward today. He went straight to the point. “Chen Family Head, I previously ordered a portion of Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea on Douyin. I know this tea is very miraculous, and I have sales channels for such high-end tea leaves. So I wanted to ask whether I could act as the agency for the Chen Clan’s Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea.”
As he spoke, he was somewhat expectant.
Some high-end tea brands had very limited yield and were difficult to purchase, so such things could even be used for the exchange of favors and the management of connections.
He felt that this Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea was definitely stronger than those teas. If he could successfully become the agent, it would be a great benefit to him.
Hearing this, Xiao Yu looked at Chu Hao in surprise.
She had put the Premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea in the shop window for so long, and even specially recorded a Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea introduction video, but had sold only a single order. Clearly, her fans and video viewers did not have that kind of potential purchasing power.
She had not expected that single order to have been placed by this Mr. Chu.
Chen Han was currently also troubled about the money needed for the next level up and was planning ways to make money. He had not expected someone to deliver an opportunity to his door.
What surprised him even more was another game prompt:
【The Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea developed by the family’s Work Hall elder is not only rich in spiritual energy and helpful for cultivation, but also seems very effective in suppressing the growth of inner demons. A demonic cult rogue who hides his identity as a traveling merchant of the trade alliance has discovered this benefit and wants to obtain Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea to sell to demonic cult members in exchange for benefits. Because he does not want to expose himself, he has chosen to trade with you under the cover of his traveling merchant identity, and has prepared a gift box as a bribe to show his sincerity!】
“????” Chen Han looked at Mr. Chu with a newfound curiosity.
Demonic cult rogues played at bribery too?
Chu Hao felt that the gaze of this Chen Family Head was a bit off, a bit strange, but he still spoke sincerely. “Chen Family Head, I am very sincere. I hope you can give me a chance.”
“We can give it a try,” Chen Han said. He had already been thinking about making money, and now that there was a channel, he really could give it a try.
At the same time, a task prompt appeared in the game:
【Because purchasing spirit stones and Mysterious Frost Lion Head Geese has heavily consumed the family’s resources, you did not rush to expose the demonic cult rogue’s identity. Perhaps you can use him to earn a sizable amount of resources for the family, but you must be careful when dealing with demonic cult rogues.】
【Righteous-demonic collusion: please complete a Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea transaction with the disguised demonic cult rogue as soon as possible, and obtain the gift box he is using as a bribe!】
“???” Chen Han.
Wait, should the one bribing him not give him the bribe first?
What was the game system doing?
