I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 57 Red Plum, Persimmon, Bamboo! Has the video gone viral?
Chen Han had no idea about the nine plants behind the door; he could only wait until he returned to check the Chen family's collection of books.

Then, he also looked at the sect's location information in his mind:
Level: Level 3 Sect Territory

Effects: Antique +2, Aesthetics +2, Durability +2.

Special Taoist Residence Effect: As long as the residence belongs to the Chen family Taoist sect and plants representing the three directions of Li, Kun, and Zhong are placed in the corresponding positions in the room, the attribute effect can be activated!
升级要求：1、1000万钱财（47.63万/1000万）。2、声望50000（7005/50000）。

Looking at the sect's location information, the upgrade requirements have also been updated with the completion of the renovation.

The reputation requirement has been raised to 5, which is not a bad requirement, considering that the video shooting effect has improved now. When Xiaoyu and Xiaomi hold the traditional Chinese style event, they can reap a lot of reputation just by showing off their divine power in front of others.

The upgrade requirement of 1000 million yuan is quite different from the savings of 47.63 yuan.

It should have only required 1 coins and 10 reputation points at the beginning.

He suspected that the game system followed the same pattern as those pay-to-win games, giving players an easy reward first, and then starting to exploit them aggressively.

Moreover, the upgrade requires 1000 million in funds, which is not something you can just spend once you reach 1000 million; you'll have to pay a lot of taxes.

Even though the Chen family applied for a special Taoist scenic area designation that would exempt them from most taxes, they would still have to pay 25% of the tax for non-cultural business operations.

By the way, all the transfers from the system are charitable donations, so a portion can be exempted. Even so, you still need to reserve a lot of tax, otherwise it will all be wiped out and the relevant departments will come knocking on your door.

Therefore, one must also have the skills to make money in order to cultivate immortality.

He's considering whether to raise the prices of his medicinal cuisine and Leizhu Lingcha tea.

Besides, those were trial operation prices, so it's normal for prices to increase when the store officially opens, right?
But that raises a problem: customer base!

The medicinal cuisine costs 2 yuan, and the premium Leizhu Ling Tea costs 5 yuan, but no ordinary tourists make any purchases.

If you make promotional videos, people need to believe them.

We need to build a reputation first.

Otherwise, excluding a few curious individuals who are not short of money, no one would really pay attention.

The value of wealth, law, companionship, and location is still increasing.

Not long after, the bullet train arrived at Linhe County Station.

Xiaoyu had been waiting for a long time.

Chen Han met up with his junior sister and heard her complain: "Senior brother, I used the Cloud Barrier Pill you gave me to film a video, and Douyin actually gave me a prompt for special effects behavior, making it seem like I was using special effects to fool the fans. Look at these fan comments."

Chen Han glanced at it and smiled.

"Xiaoyu, the special effects are too stiff and need improvement!"

"Haha, Xiaoyu, are you starting to learn special effects editing? The effects are a bit cheap."

"666, is Douyin giving me a heads-up to avoid being scammed because she's afraid I'll actually believe Xiaoyu knows the Smoke Escape Technique?"

"..."

Sometimes, these anti-fraud and anti-violation warnings from Douyin are really ridiculous. Besides this, there are also warnings about suspected AI, dangerous behavior, and AI-generated content. It seems that some internet celebrities have been identified as AI-generated because they are too beautiful (or have had plastic surgery).

Of course, it's also possible that the beauty filters and effects were applied too much and the image was identified as AI-generated.

Seeing his junior sister's dejected look, Chen Han laughed and said, "Isn't that even better? Now that you're recognized as an AI, you can perform live at traditional Chinese culture events. Wouldn't that be a huge stunt for everyone?"

These words made both girls' eyes light up at the same time, and they were both eager to try it out.

"Senior brother, but I've used up my Cloud Barrier Pill." Xiaoyu immediately stared at him with her big, watery eyes, her meaning quite clear.

"Don't look at me like that, I'll make you another Cloud Barrier Pill," Chen Han said, shaking his head.

"Senior brother, you're so kind! Let's go back." Having achieved her goal, Xiaoyu happily got into the driver's seat.

...

When Chen Han returned to the Chen family, the sun had already completely set.

Upon entering my own courtyard, the fragrance of orchids filled the air even more wonderfully.

Thinking that the sect's base upgrade would grant Chen a +2 sturdiness attribute, he took out a dagger and casually tested it on the attic wall. Sure enough, its sturdiness was astonishing, making it difficult to leave any marks.

He then tried it with a hammer, and the result made him realize that if the Chen family had lived during wartime, it could have been used as a bunker. After that, Chen Han began to search for the Chen family's ancient books on Taoist plants.

For the attribute of "Warm in Winter and Cool in Summer +2" to take effect, you first need to know what the Nine Directions Plants are.

He found a book that specifically recorded descriptions of Taoist plants, and then went to the courtyard to read it on a reclining chair.

Reading amidst the delicate and enchanting fragrance of orchids is quite pleasant.

This collection of books contains a lot of information about Taoist flowers, grasses, and trees.

Taoists offer five kinds of offerings, and among the flowers, there are five kinds of flowers for offering.

In addition, there are the Seven Sages Plants, as well as the 7 Wood for warding off evil spirits and the 13 Auspicious Plants.

The Nine Directions Plants of Taoism refer to nine kinds of plants with great spiritual power. They have appeared in many Taoist legends and stories. These nine plants are often associated with the 108 Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, and other mystical concepts.

These nine plants are: pine, boxwood, osmanthus, podocarpus, persimmon, magnolia, red plum, bamboo, and maple!
Of course, in modern times, these nine plants have become associated with feng shui, and because they are believed to be imbued with spiritual energy, they are said to have a very good effect on the arrangement of feng shui formations.

The attributes "Warm in Winter and Cool in Summer +2" describe Li, Kun, and Zhong, which should refer to the Li Palace, Kun Palace, and Zhong Palace in the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams.

Therefore, as long as you find the nine plants representing the three palaces and place them in the corresponding positions of the house, you can activate the attribute of being warm in winter and cool in summer by +2.

He immediately looked at the descriptions of the nine plants in the ancient book and compared them with the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams.

The Li Palace represents fire and light in the Nine Palaces, and the corresponding plant for the nine directions is the red plum. Red plums are mostly bright red, and red belongs to fire in the Five Elements. Blooming in the cold sun represents passion and hope, echoing the light of the Li Palace.

The Kun Palace represents the earth and symbolizes bearing and supporting. Persimmons have the connotations of roundness, fullness, and good fortune. The symbolic meanings are the same. Most importantly, the persimmon tree is the tree that bestows titles upon the ruler of the earth. Emperors of many dynasties conferred titles such as Marquis and Ten Thousand Years upon the persimmon tree.

The central palace governs the center and coordinates the eight directions, symbolizing balance and stability. Bamboo, with its uprightness, integrity, and humility, echoes this. Moreover, the two black stars, Ju Men, will fly to the central palace, transforming the illness talisman and expelling earth evil. Bamboo has the ability to dissipate earth evil.

Simply put, the plants represented by Li, Kun, and Zhong are red plum, persimmon tree, and bamboo, which are among the nine plants of the Nine Directions.

Simply place these three plants in the south, southwest, and center of the room, which represent the four cardinal directions (Li, Kun, and Zhong), to trigger the attribute of "warm in winter and cool in summer" +2.

Chen Han suddenly felt that he had broadened his horizons and realized that what he and his father had learned before seemed to be just the tip of the iceberg of Taoism.

These plants and the Nine Palaces can have so many twists and turns, and they correspond and echo each other, representing the Five Elements and having correct directions.

Unfortunately, these are just theories in books; in reality, no one can actually use these nine plants in combination with the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams to create any kind of feng shui formation.

However, he is different. With the system's blessing of the Chen family attributes, the attributes can take effect once the plants, the nine palaces, and the directions are matched.

Looks like we'll have to talk about the family's underground formation again.

These are all thanks to the elders of the Chen family, who have left a valuable legacy for future generations.

Knowing the three plants, he immediately called his uncle and instructed him, "Uncle, could you buy me three kinds of green plants tomorrow: red plum, bamboo, and persimmon tree? They should be the kind that can be placed in the room."

These plants now have corresponding greenery cultivation methods, so there's no need to worry about not having enough space in the room.

Chen Lin now rarely asks questions about the things his nephew asks him to do, and he immediately agrees.

Chen Han hung up the phone and is now just waiting for his uncle to buy the three plants for the experiment. So, he plans to study the Taoist scriptures again and activate the +2 calming attribute as soon as possible.

But just as he was about to put down his phone, he was surprised to see a barrage of notifications appearing in Douyin's backend.

He opened it, saw the data prompt, and was clearly taken aback.

The data is increasing way too fast!
After watching the video "Shocking! The Demonic Cult's Demonic Members Were Stripped Naked by the Frost Lion-Headed Goose..." for a while, I found that the number of likes was increasing much faster than on the way back.

Not only are likes appearing, but notifications for increased game reputation are also appearing much faster.

He realized something.

Has the video gone viral?

He was naturally unaware that a certain Douyin editor was amused by the Lion Head Goose fans and rewarded them with an S-level resource for a live stream, and more and more people online saw the video of the Lion Head Goose stripping the demonic cult members naked.

I don't know how many people were stunned, and then they clicked into the Chen family head's homepage, watched his other videos, and then one by one they went from being full of laughter to being completely dumbfounded with question marks on their faces!
　The third round of competition has begun; we need to analyze the data!
　　Please make sure to turn to the last page, thank you!

　　Please don't raise it, please don't raise it, please don't raise it!
　　thank you all!

　　I'd also like to ask for two more votes. Thank you again!
　　Please don't raise them! Please don't raise them!
