I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 58 Making Money Through Deception: The Collusion Between Good and Evil!

the next day!
Chen Han woke up to his alarm. He picked up his phone and saw a constant stream of notifications from Douyin, prompting him to immediately click on the video titled "Shocking! The Demonic Cult's Demonic Members Were Stripped Naked by the Xuan Shuang Lion Head Goose..."

The data did indeed explode; in just one night, it garnered 13.5 likes.

The account "Chen Jiazhu" has over 1.5 followers.

I checked my reputation, and it increased by more than 4000, bringing my total reputation to 11105.

This is already one-fifth of the upgrade requirements have been met.

Based on the video's data growth trend, it's likely to break the 50 likes mark, and its reputation will increase significantly afterward.

Chen Han washed up in a good mood, then went to the special spiritual cave. As he sat down cross-legged, he also took out the Cloud Barrier Cauldron and put it aside.

Afterwards, one should practice the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method" to guide spiritual energy into the body for cultivation while it is being washed away.

After this cultivation session ended, his lifespan increased again, reaching six months.

Picking up the Cloud Barrier Cauldron to check, I saw that it had absorbed enough spiritual energy during the time it was being cleansed by spiritual energy, thus restoring the number of times it could be refined.

Fortunately, there are special spiritual caves; otherwise, the Hundred Flowers Palace Spirit Jade and the Cloud Barrier Cauldron would be useless after one use without replenishing their spiritual energy.

However, this special spiritual acupoint can only be cleansed by spiritual energy once a day at the hour of Mao (5-7 AM), which greatly limits cultivation. Due to the depletion caused by lung cancer, he has not yet been able to take the most basic step of introducing the refined true energy into his dantian to establish internal circulation.

I wonder if this special spiritual cave will be upgraded later, otherwise when will I be able to achieve success in cultivation?
Chen Han put away the Cloud Barrier Cauldron and went to his uncle's kitchen to start making medicinal cuisine. He had just finished processing the dog demon meat and put it into three stew pots when his junior sister stormed in angrily.

"What's wrong now?" Chen Han asked, puzzled.

Xiaoyu said in annoyance, "Senior brother, didn't your video data explode this morning? That horn is trying to ride your coattails again, it's shameless."

"How did he rub against me again?" Chen Han asked in surprise. This guy had just been stripped naked and almost lost his testicles. Didn't he learn his lesson?
"You'll see for yourself, you're so shameless!" Xiaoyu said, speechless.

Chen Han took out his phone, checked the account that had honked the horn, and was dumbfounded.

The other party has actually changed their name: Mingdi (Demon Cult Demon).

It was followed by the suffix "demonic cultist".

The crucial point is that the other party released a new video early this morning, with the title: "As a member of the Demonic Sect, I swear to fight the Chen family to the death!"

Upon opening the video, he saw the man, Mingdi, covered in bandages and severely injured, looking menacing as he spoke to the camera: "As an elite member of the Demonic Sect, I was ordered to infiltrate the Chen family to investigate their beast-taming techniques, attempting to seize their spirit beast, the Frost Lion-Headed Goose. However, I was outmaneuvered and severely injured by their Frost Lion-Headed Goose. I will definitely avenge this."

"???" Chen Hanzhen was dumbfounded.

The game system assigned this guy the identity of a demonic cultist, and he actually got into character?
He now finally understands why people say you have to be thick-skinned to succeed online.

This guy is consuming illegal traffic.

Just look at the other party's comments to see how successfully this wave of negative traffic was generated:

"Holy crap, I've met the real Egg Demon!"

"You fiend, the way you left with your eggs covered made me spit out a mouthful of spiritual spring water."

"Haha, I would rate you as the most pathetic demon of the cult."

"..."

"Senior brother, this guy is shameless!" Xiaoyu said, very dissatisfied.

Chen Han smiled. The other party was shameless, but there was no need to get angry about it. He might as well go and hunt dog demon meat.

Moreover, with the other party making such a fuss, he's not the only one affected.

He started a fire to simmer the medicinal food, then left the kitchen and went to the Spirit Beast Hall to take the Xuan Shuang Lion Head Goose out of the Chen family.

From afar, one could see the Chen family feeding leftover food to the little mongrel dogs.

As the same process unfolded, the dog demons happily finished eating the discarded spirit scraps and leftover spirit soup that the Chen family had deliberately placed there, when the Xuan Shuang Lion-Headed Geese pounced on them in unison.

It was another fierce battle between demonic dogs and spirit beasts, with flying sand and stones.

This scene was captured on camera by several tourists who visited yesterday.

It seems that this Chen family head brings his lion-headed goose to fight with the dogs every day, as if it has become a daily routine.

Unbeknownst to anyone, after the battle, Chen Han quietly went forward and put the piece of dog demon meat that had been looted into his warehouse.

However, when he was about to take the lion-headed goose back to the Spirit Beast Hall, he unexpectedly saw the whistle.

The other person had bandages wrapped around their head and hands, looking like they were seriously injured.

As he looked at the other person, the other person actually shouted, "Patriarch Chen, you're lucky this time. As an elite member of the Demonic Sect, I will return."

After shouting, he glanced at the lion-headed geese with lingering fear, then quickly turned and ran. Seriously, his testicles still hurt a bit; he didn't know which damn goose had bitten him and twisted around—it was such a close call…

The assistant, who was taking pictures with his phone, quickly followed.

"..." Chen Han was taken aback. Why did he have a feeling that the other person was more immersed in the role than he was?

Really flexible and flexible.

He shook his head and sent the Xuan Shuang Lion Head Goose back to the Spirit Beast Hall. Then he went back to his uncle's kitchen to prepare the medicinal meal, where he saw his uncle practicing boxing with Uncle Big Dog and Uncle Shui Sheng.

Uncle Big Dog was already burly and rugged, and his punches really did have a powerful and forceful feel to them.

When Chen Lin saw him come in, he smiled and reported, "Xiao Han, I've already contacted the red plum, persimmon, and bamboo bonsai for you. They'll be delivered tonight."

Chen Han nodded, went into the kitchen to check the medicinal cuisine, and then took out the Taoist scriptures to continue studying. Now only the last part was left, and then he could practice the "Ancient Tranquility Formula" scripture.

Suddenly, a game notification surprised him:
[Suddenly, a demonic cultist lurking in the family territory revealed a trace of his cult aura under the imposing presence of the elder of the workshop and two family experts. It seems he's coming for you!]

"???" Chen Hanzhen was surprised; it was quite sudden.

One heretic from the demonic sect has just left, and another one is coming?
The thought that the demonic cultist Mingdi had dropped a damaged Cloud Barrier Cauldron filled him with a sense of anticipation for continuing to exorcise demons and uphold justice.

He opened his mouth but saw the young brother and sister his junior sister had brought in.

"Senior brother, this Mr. Chu says he wants to see you and discuss some business," Xiaoyu said as she led her brother and sister in.

As soon as Chu Hao entered, he was drawn to the three stewing pots; the aroma of Chen's medicinal cuisine was truly intoxicating.

Then, he greeted Chen Han with a big smile: "Patriarch Chen, hello, my name is Chu Hao, I have a business to discuss with you."

"I wonder what kind of business Mr. Chu wants to discuss?" Chen Han asked, a hint of surprise on his face.

Previously, they mistook the other party for a demonic cultist plotting against the Frost Lionhead Goose and even had the Frost Lionhead Goose launch an attack on the other party. However, the system did not react, and the demonic cultist turned out to be someone else entirely.

Therefore, he dismissed all his doubts.

The game suddenly tells him that the other party is also a member of the demonic sect?

This was quite sudden.

Can't think of it at all.

Moreover, this demonic cult member is clearly different from the demonic cult member Mingdi.

I wonder if rushing into the other side now will result in them dropping something?
Chu Hao had waited so long before finally coming to his door today, and he went straight to the point: "Patriarch Chen, I previously ordered a batch of Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea from Douyin. I know that this tea is very magical, and since I have a sales channel for such high-end tea, I would like to inquire whether I can become an agent for the Chen family's Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea."

As he spoke, he seemed somewhat expectant.

Some high-end tea brands have very limited production and are difficult to purchase, so these items can even be used as gifts and for building relationships.

He felt that this Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea was definitely stronger than other teas, and if he could successfully become its agent, it would be of great benefit to him.

Xiaoyu looked at Chu Hao in surprise upon hearing this.

She's had the premium Leizhu Ling Tea displayed in her shop window for so long, and even made a video to introduce it, but she's only sold one order. Clearly, her fans and those who saw the video don't have the potential to buy it.

I never expected that the order was placed by Mr. Chu.

Chen Han was also worried about the money needed for the next level upgrade and was planning ways to make money when someone unexpectedly delivered it to his door.

What surprised him even more was the reappearance of the game prompt:

The Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea, developed by the elders of the family's workshop, is not only rich in spiritual energy and beneficial for cultivation, but it also seems to greatly help suppress the growth of inner demons. A member of the demonic sect, disguised as a merchant, discovered this benefit and wanted to obtain the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea to sell to members of the demonic sect in exchange for favors. Because they didn't want to be exposed, the other party chose to trade with you under the guise of a merchant and prepared a gift box as a bribe to show their sincerity!

"???" Chen Han looked at Mr. Chu with a curious expression.

Even demonic cultists resort to bribery?
Chu Hao sensed something was off about the way the Chen family head was looking at him, but he still said sincerely, "Family head Chen, I am very sincere and hope you will give me a chance."

"We can give it a try." Chen Han had been thinking about making money anyway, and now that he had this channel, he really could give it a shot.

At the same time, a mission prompt appeared in the game:
[Because the purchase of spirit stones and Xuan Frost Lion-Headed Geese has severely depleted the family's resources, you haven't rushed to expose the other party's identity as a demonic cult member. Perhaps you can use them to earn a substantial amount of resources for the family, but you must be careful when dealing with demonic cult members.]

[Good and evil collusion: Please complete a transaction for Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea with the disguised demonic cult member as soon as possible, and obtain the gift box as a bribe!]

"???" Chen Han.

No, shouldn't the bribe be given to him first?
What's wrong with the game system?
