Chapter 403 Lightning Protection Facilities Arrive! Fans Collectively Target Patriarch Chen!
The Seraph's expression was grave; the situation he knew so far was far from optimistic.

There seems to be a mysterious force reviving at Tokyo University, something that most modern technologies are unable to counter.

The transport vehicle heading towards the Chen family's location had signs indicating that it was equipped with lightning protection facilities.

Seeing this, he knew what was going on.

Is this something that helped the old Taoist priest Chen overcome his tribulation?
If such a thing were true, it would mean that the Chen family possesses a legendary, god-like figure from their region.

The legend at Dongda University is that one transcends tribulations to become an immortal.

Immortal = their god.

The tourists who saw the transport vehicle understood.

With these lightning protection facilities delivered, it seems that Master Chen is about to undergo another tribulation.

The sudden gathering of dark clouds, accompanied by flashes of lightning, and their subsequent abrupt disappearance only confirmed everyone's suspicions.

Those who know their stuff have already recognized these transport vehicles as belonging to *Guangfang Lightning Protection Technology Company.

This company has achieved great success in the field of lightning protection, holding numerous patents and providing lightning protection products. It has a remarkable track record in both attracting and protecting against lightning strikes.

Now that they are transporting lightning protection equipment to the Chen family, their purpose is practically made public.

Even if the Chen family head denies it, it won't work.

Unless the dark clouds and lightning don't reappear, or even if no lightning strikes, then people will reluctantly believe it.

If lightning strikes, Patriarch Chen, you won't need to waste any more words saying just one thing: "I believe in science."

Soon, the transport vehicle drove into the Chen family's residence.

...

In the yard.

Chen Han was looking at the data in his mind:
1、钱财：0.39亿。2、声望：1773.35万。3、愿力：19.35万。4、阴德福报：4459。

Wealth and good deeds are truly rare.

However, after one night, the amount of good karma and blessings accumulated was considerable, but it's unknown how much of an effect the demon-sealing video contributed.

After all, he doesn't yet know how to compare this merit and blessing to something like reputation or the power of vows.

My wish power has steadily increased by more than 10. As long as there are no problems in the Demon Realm, I will receive daily rewards.

His reputation increased by more than 230 million, which means that more than 230 million people are now following him.

The main issue is with Douyin; she already has over 2280 million fans, but the growth rate is slowing down.

The main issue is the mechanism of the diacritic sound.

These leading companies will maintain a balance and won't allow any account to gain too many followers. No matter how popular you are, there will always be a large number of people who don't know you.

Even if you're a big influencer with 5000 million or 6000 million followers, it won't matter.

Moreover, after the reforms two years ago, it has become very difficult for internet celebrities with tens of millions of followers to emerge. Even the dragon that has been very popular recently can only stay at more than 10 million followers.

Even for most so-called popular internet celebrities, 100 million, 300 million, or 500 million followers are a threshold.

Unless you talk to someone in Douyin about it, your reputation will increase slowly now.

There's no need to bother Chairman Ma with such a trivial matter.

Perhaps Mr. Liu could see if he could arrange to invite the owner of Douyin.

There's no need to discuss this topic. As long as the other party comes once, you can impress them without doing anything else, so there's no need to say anything else.

To be honest, in this respect, the Emei Sect in the Shu Mountain world should be very envious of him.

After all, this way of promoting one's reputation and increasing prestige and merit is something the Emei Sect would envy and be jealous of. If they could achieve such fame within the Emei Sect, they would secretly rejoice.

It already has over 50 followers on Kuaishou.

Even the most down-to-earth people will like and follow videos with such a strong impact.

This is already a great start.

Like before on Douyin, in the beginning, a single video only gained a few followers.

However, upon opening the backend of Kuaishou and checking the comments, it becomes clear that due to cultural, regional, and user differences, many Kuaishou users simply treat the video as special effects, unlike Douyin users who all believe it to be real and even try to find evidence to prevent him from refuting it.

Even though many people initially commented that the Chen family was not simple, their comments were mostly ignored.

This kind of differentiation is like being offline.

Chen Han opened Douyin's video, which had already received over 500 million likes. The comments were full of people teasing him for using special effects as an excuse again.

Some people even went so far as to scrutinize his purple robe and the decree on his body, explaining the details of the decree and even claiming that it was the decree authorizing him to command troops, specifically the heavenly soldiers under the command of the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Venerable.

Chen Han had to admire these people; he admired their carefree nature.

These people all hope that the demon-sealing army is real, but they never think about how dangerous the world would become if it were real.
If the Chen family fails to defend themselves, the emergence of those demonic armies will be a global catastrophe.

These people seemed to be acting on impulse, wanting to prove that it was true and to prove the greatness of the Chen family.

Fortunately, the army of demonic figures was all fake.

As Chen Han was complaining, Mr. Liu called: "Master Chen, where are you? The lightning protection equipment has been transported over, where should we put it now?"

"They're here?" Chen Han's face lit up with joy, and he immediately ordered, "Have someone move the things directly to the open space behind my yard."

"Yes, Patriarch Chen." Liu Ye immediately replied, hung up the phone, and hurried to the entrance of the Chen family compound.

The lightning protection company's transport vehicle had stopped, and the transport personnel were unloading the goods.

Many tourists were already drawn to the area, taking pictures of the dismantled lightning protection components. They clearly knew that these were items meant to help the old Taoist priest Chen overcome his tribulation.

Liu Ye stepped forward and handed over the responsibility to the person in charge of transportation, instructing them to bring people to move the lightning protection facilities to the location he specified.

As a result, many tourists also visited the Chen family's residence.

When they arrived at Chen Han's courtyard, especially the open space behind it, tourists were not allowed to approach at all. Members of the Chen family's Demon Control Hall were even called in to guard it.

The fact that tourists couldn't get in wasn't a problem. They had taken so many photos and uploaded them to Douyin (TikTok), which would attract enough attention and prove that the Chen family was helping their ancestor overcome his tribulation.

There are quite a few components for this lightning protection equipment. The transportation company didn't send many people, so they had to go back and move them many times. Chen Han simply asked his uncle to arrange for the workshop staff to help.

In the courtyard.

Chen Han brewed a pot of premium Leizhu Ling tea to entertain Liu Ye: "Mr. Liu, thank you for your help again this time. This is a small token of our Chen family's appreciation."

As he spoke, he gently shook his hand, and a small bottle of Body Tempering Pills appeared in front of Liu Ye.

"Patriarch Chen, this is not just a small token of our appreciation, but something we could only dream of." Liu Ye's face was beaming with joy; he would never have wanted too many Body Tempering Pills.

After taking it continuously, all his gray hair will be gone.

Every time he talks business or attends a commercial meeting, he feels a sense of superiority when he sees the gray hair and weathered appearance of his peers who are also wealthy.

When asked by these people, he simply replied, "I was fortunate enough to meet the head of the Chen family."

Immediately, many people wanted to ask for the Chen family head's contact information, but he directly changed the subject, saying, "Are you kidding me? You think you can just take the Chen family head's contact information whenever you want?"

Who are they, and who are you? You're just a few stinking coins. The Chen family has powerful figures in their family.

Without that connection, he wouldn't dare give out the Chen family head's contact information.

These people wouldn't even go to the Chen family's place; they were clearly destined to be out of luck.

Chen Han then asked Liu Ye, "Mr. Liu, do you know the owner of Douyin? If there's an opportunity, you could invite him to visit Chen's."

He simply said that, and that was all.

Because it's unnecessary for this Mr. Liu.

Liu Ye was only puzzled for a second when he heard this, but immediately agreed without asking any further questions.

He felt it was probably related to the video filmed by the Chen family head.

He didn't understand why the Chen family head liked to shoot those abstract videos before, and at first he simply thought it was to promote the scenic area.

But now, with the emergence of stories like accumulating good deeds and blessings, and the old Taoist priest Chen undergoing tribulation, he felt that the video filmed by the Chen family head must have a deeper meaning.

Perhaps it is one link in the chain.

He only guessed a little, but didn't say it aloud.

Knowing something but not asking, knowing something but not investigating it—these are the key points he summarized from his interactions with the Chen family.

So, after leaving the Chen family head's place, he took out his phone and started making calls.

First, take care of the matters that Patriarch Chen has entrusted to us.

After Liu Ye left, Chen Han also went to check on the lightning protection facilities in the open space behind.

The members of the Demon Exorcism Hall who were guarding the entrance greeted him respectfully upon his arrival, and resumed their duties after he entered the open space.

This open space is actually drafty, and many tourists can see it from several other directions, so getting in is not a problem.

However, with the Demon Exorcism Hall guarding the area, and the Chen family's tourists generally behaving very well, no one actually did such a thing; they just watched from a distance and filmed videos.

In this situation, there was nothing Chen Han could do.

Besides, the transportation company's people are still installing it.

Lightning protection facilities can be quite large; once installed, they might resemble a small house, allowing people to stay inside and avoid lightning strikes.

When lightning strikes a facility, it is guided and dispersed by the facility's special metal to reduce its power, and then guided into the ground by lightning rods driven into the ground.

That's roughly the principle.

We definitely can't do that in the Chen family then.

That would cause great damage to the Chen family.

You need to put this item into your game inventory and take it to a secluded place in the mountains and forests to avoid damaging it.

However, this will have to wait until the lightning protection facilities are installed, and then we can do it secretly at night when there aren't so many tourists.

So he returned to his own courtyard.

Unexpectedly, at night, many people on Douyin (TikTok) started tagging him like crazy.

This is a topic of discussion that those tourists have started.

They uploaded videos of the lightning protection facilities to Douyin (TikTok), and many of Chen's fans flocked to discuss these videos, generating a lot of buzz.

Not only did it become a trending topic, but it also made it onto the hot topic list.

The topic title is: "Patriarch Chen, say nothing now, we're all waiting for the tribulation lightning to appear!"

"Haha, Patriarch Chen, before you talk about believing in science, let's pray that lightning doesn't strike!"

"The lightning protection equipment has arrived. We hope that Patriarch Chen can persuade the old Taoist priest to cooperate with you and avoid undergoing the tribulation. We will trust you!"

"If Thunder appears again, Patriarch Chen, if you still say 'believe in science,' you'll be testing our intelligence!"

"..." Clearly, this was a checkmate by his fans, intended to leave him speechless.

Chen Han smiled.

These fans are really racking their brains, but unfortunately, he's adamant about his stance.

He chuckled and commented on one of the most popular videos on the topic: "Just a little science: Dark clouds are mainly formed by a large amount of water vapor cooling and condensing into tiny water droplets or ice crystals at high altitudes. Water vapor evaporates from the ground and rises, where it cools and gathers at high altitudes..."

"Lightning originates from the strong separation of charges within or between a cloud and the ground. The process involves three steps: 1. ... 2. ... 3. ... Therefore, everyone should believe in science."

This hot topic was being hotly debated, so Chen Han's sudden comment naturally attracted attention immediately.

The fans had no idea that all their efforts to outwit the head of the Chen family were aimed at preventing him from saying the words "believe in science".

Who knew that the head of the Chen family would openly attack them?
Should we use science to explain this lightning tribulation to them?
Who doesn't understand these scientific facts?
But is your tribulation, Master Chen, really like that?
Hu Qing, as the author of this video, didn't want the Chen family head to insult their intelligence by claiming to believe in science. Who knew that the Chen family head would actually rub their intelligence into the ground.

He couldn't help but reply, "Patriarch Chen, when you say 'believe in science,' can you explain the thunder and fire connecting the Golden Summit of Wudang, the starlight spectacle of the Hengshan formation, and the moonlight and sun spectacle of the Chen family?"

Seriously, he couldn't help but publicly humiliate the Chen family head. If he didn't expose him thoroughly, he would feel like his intelligence was being insulted.

To everyone's surprise, the head of the Chen family actually replied to him: "Feng shui is just a science of geography. You have to believe in science."

"..." Hu Qing instantly felt as if he had been hit hard, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

But what the Chen family head said was impossible to refute.

The online buzz naturally attracted a lot of attention, such as Ma Gongtai, who was waiting at the airport in Beijing, not for his flight.

Instead, they are waiting for someone.

So, while waiting, he saw the situation online and saw the head of the Chen family say, "Feng shui is the science of geography, we should believe in science," and he became thoughtful.

Once something comes out and is proven to be feasible and replicable, isn't that science?

Since it is science, it needs to be popularized so that more people can access it, learn from it, select talent, and develop and grow.

But how to go from zero to something, or even surpass it, is a question.

Just like the mushroom cloud back then, it was about going from nothing to something, and then surpassing it.

However, the situation is different here. It's not a problem of zero problems, but rather that it's difficult to find even people or experts who are proficient in this field.

When Mushroom Cloud was built from scratch, there were at least many talented people and experts in this field; their abilities and knowledge were there.

In this matter, the only person who can be called an expert is the head of the Chen family.

Therefore, the other party is also the only person in this regard to be granted the title of 'Grand Scholar'.

But the Chen family head couldn't keep doing this for them forever.

They don't have that much influence.

At that moment, a Taoist priest dressed in a Taoist robe was welcomed here.

It was Chairman Li from the Taoist Association.

Upon seeing the other party, Ma Gongtai greeted him with a smile: "President Li, we meet again. This time, let's invite the Taoist priest to the Chen family together."

"Thanks to Chairman Ma's invitation, I would also like to attend the ceremony at the Chen family's residence," Master Li replied with a smile.

The fact that the old Taoist priest Chen was about to undergo his tribulation naturally caught the attention of the Taoist community, and they were also deeply affected by it.

While these people were still working hard to restore the formations of their own temples, someone from the Chen family was already on the verge of becoming an immortal.

This was a huge shock, and it made them realize the vast gap between themselves and the Chen family.

Like his case, he has actually found a feng shui formation diagram, and with the help of Future Company, he is gradually recovering.

Actually, finding the Chen family head would be the fastest way, but he obviously didn't want to rely too much on the Chen family head and lose himself.

The greatest gain and the only way to improve one's abilities is through diligent research and success.

Many Taoist priests in temples and monasteries are like this.

The only uncertainty now is whether their temple's formations generate energy and then are used for cultivation, similar to the Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak of Wudang.

Naturally, he knew that his invitation was not simply to go to the Chen family together; there must be other purposes involved.

He knew that this future company carried an imperial aura, and that it was at a very high level.

Sure enough, after boarding a private jet, Mr. Ma said, "Master Li, I mainly want to discuss something with you. Now that some things have been verified, they should definitely be promoted."

"After all, we have a vast territory and abundant resources, and we need to make the most of everything. Therefore, our company wants to cooperate with the association, with our company investing in and collaborating with the Taoist Academy and several other higher education institutions to build a Taoist branch of a higher education institution. This would also promote Taoism."

Master Li understood what the other person meant when he heard this.

This means the higher-ups need to search for relevant talent. After all, with so many different geographical locations, only with a large pool of talent can they independently arrange the formations.

Regardless of whether it can generate energy for martial arts training, even if it only produces a miracle or has the effect of prolonging life, it is still a huge profit.

What method can be faster than the school system in cultivating talent?

“Chairman Ma, the association certainly has no objection to this matter, and it will also benefit the Taoist Academy.” Master Li did not refuse the offer.

Or he knows he has no right to refuse.

In addition, it does have its advantages.

After all, their college is not accredited and graduates do not receive degree certificates. Once this cooperation is established, their college will be able to obtain degree certificates from higher education institutions.

This represents an elevation in status in a certain sense.

If the other side knew, those bald people would probably be insanely jealous, and might even shamelessly demand the same treatment.

It's a pity that this kind of treatment isn't something you can just get if you want it.

After that, the gap and status naturally widened rapidly.

Previously, they were the two most powerful, evenly matched.

In the future, it may become the sole ruler.

The other party can only sit at the same table with those foreign Christians and such.

As the conversation continued, the plane rose above the clouds and flew towards Qingming City.

The online buzz continues unabated.

Discussions about the old Taoist priest Chen's tribulation were even more heated, to the point that Douyin was somewhat worried.

This is because it falls into the category of crossing the line in terms of popularity.

Normally, such bizarre videos would already have their traffic restricted to suppress their popularity, or other events would receive more traffic to overshadow them.

However, due to a phone call from the big boss, the plan was not implemented, and the news continued to gain popularity.

Douyin is worried about a sudden rectification notice.

Meanwhile, Mr. Zhang, the owner behind Douyin, was also watching videos related to the Chen family.

Previously, as the big boss behind Douyin, he didn't pay much attention to the videos on Douyin; that wasn't something he should be concerned about.

He only focuses on issues such as daily active users, company valuation, revenue expenditure, etc.

However, it was only after Liu Ye invited him to visit the Chen family that he began to pay attention to this Chen family.

He had followed some news about the Chen family before, but these were all related to Taoism and Feng Shui, and he didn't have much time to pay attention to the specifics.

After all, he's been so busy preparing for the IPO that he barely has time to rest each day.

But the more he paid attention to the Chen family, the more surprised he became.

He had met Liu Ye at a business conference and knew what illness Liu Ye had, which Chen had actually cured.

Moreover, the more he saw, the more he realized that this Chen family member was no ordinary person.

The fact that the Blood Demon Bone Grass was donated and immediately promoted is something that not everyone can do. Everyone can see the value of this thing. If you were to get it privately, you could make a lot of money.

And so Chen gave it away.

This shows that Chen has admirable qualities.

Afterwards, seeing more and more of the Chen family's astonishment, and even the latest news about the Chen family sealing the demon and the old Taoist priest of the Chen family undergoing tribulation, he was completely shocked.

He hadn't been paying attention to online news for a long time, so why did the world suddenly seem so different?

After all, even a wealthy man like him would find it difficult to remain calm when facing a tribulation.

Even though the head of the Chen family had denied the matter in the comments and even provided scientific information about clouds and lightning.

Therefore, he is now considering whether or not to accept Liu Ye's invitation to visit the Chen family.

However, there's no rush to make a decision yet.

However, he felt it was necessary for him to pay attention to this matter of undergoing tribulation.

This is also why the news about Master Chen's tribulation was not suppressed.

Because the big boss of Douyin is paying attention to this matter.

As a result, as night fell, more and more netizens began to pay attention to this matter.

Chen Han naturally felt it; his reputation increased by more than 100 million, and his fans surpassed 2400 million.

Reputation: 1898.35.

However, there was one thing that troubled Chen Han.

That night, he discovered that in the open space where the lightning protection facilities were located, many tourists were live-streaming the facilities with their mobile phones.

Even the horn-honking guy joined in the fun.

Chen Han opened the live broadcast room with the horn in the courtyard and heard the horn sound: "Fellow Daoists, I will monitor the Chen family's lightning tribulation protection treasure for you at all times, help you determine the tribulation status of the old Taoist priest of the Chen family, and let you kill him with one blow."

"..." Chen Han was speechless.

Because this really caused him trouble and problems.

But with these live streams, netizens online were having a good time; that's exactly what they wanted.

In that case, if the old Taoist priest of the Chen family wants to use this lightning protection device to undergo tribulation, they can see it and keep a 24-hour live stream watching. As long as the other party uses this thing, they can see how the other party denies it.

Therefore, this is absolutely a major victory in refuting the Chen family head's statement of "believing in science".

In a short period of time, the number of viewers in Mingdi's live stream exceeded 5, and it was still increasing rapidly, soon surpassing 10.

This is also the first time he has broken the 10+ mark, reaching such top-tier popularity.

His live stream chat was even more lively.

"Haha, you guys are still awesome. Patriarch Chen must be having a tough time right now."

"Old Taoist priest, why don't we perform the ritual in front of everyone? Haha!"

"Hold on, the host. I don't believe that Master Chen won't overcome his tribulation."
