Chapter 135 - 94: Rounding Up to Magic! Whatever Happened to Trusting Science?
Instinctively, he collected all the plucked feathers into the warehouse and then saw the note information:
[Ordinary Cyan-Feathered Pheasant Feather: It’s really just an ordinary feather of the Cyan-Feathered Pheasant, nothing special about it!]
[Cyan-Feathered Pheasant Tail Feather: This is a tail feather of the Cyan-Feathered Pheasant, retaining traces of wind attribute power. You can activate the power on it by using true qi, and if you have enough, try refining some equipment; there might be unexpected gains.]
Chen Han looked at the note information in surprise, continued to process the feathers of the Cyan-Feathered Pheasant meat, and collected all the feathers into the warehouse. In the end, he got three of these special tail feathers.
He immediately took out a tail feather and tried operating the "Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method." Sure enough, he sensed a trace of power remaining on the feather and tried channeling a bit of true qi into it, just as the note said, activating the trace of wind attribute power on it.
An astonishing thing happened: he could clearly feel a ball of wind condensing on the tail feather, although not strong, there was indeed a ball of wind.
This works?
He waved the tail feather, and the ball of wind blew towards a potted flower plant, instantly causing its branches and leaves to sway, but that’s all it did, with no significant power.
Honestly, if a girl in a short skirt got blown by this wind, it couldn’t even lift her skirt hem.
A chicken rib, really a chicken rib.
But rounding off, this could probably count as magic, right?
Moreover, according to the note information, this Cyan-Feathered Pheasant tail feather should be artifact refining material, right?
After all, the note explicitly describes: If there are enough, try refining some equipment; there might be unexpected gains.
Just, it depends on whether Youcai the dog can pull it off, bringing his underlings to hunt Cyan-Feathered Pheasants on Cyan Simurgh Peak every day.
Looking again at the Cyan-Feathered Pheasant tail feather in his hand, after exhibiting that ball of wind earlier, its color had lightened, and the special pattern on it vanished.
Afterward, Chen Han also sliced up the processed Cyan-Feathered Pheasant meat, put it into another stew pot, added herbs and water, and started simmering it.
Upon settling down, not long after, he discovered the reputation increase prompt in his mind began accelerating.
He roughly guessed the reason, checked Tiao Yin’s hot trends list and indeed found a Provincial New City News video titled "Believe in Science and Wall-Climbing and Roof-Soaring" entered the top 20.
It was exactly yesterday’s interview video by Reporter Wu with the Chen Family.
Looking at the video release time, it was published last night.
Tiao Yin updates the hot trends list every two hours, and now the video started to ferment rapidly, climbing the ranks quickly, bringing along increased attention and many people coming to follow him.
He also took a look at his own video data:
The "Dog Demon Seeking Help" video exploded earlier, now reaching 2.53 million likes. Although the data growth rate isn’t as fast as initially, reaching 3 million likes should be achievable.
Under this level of heat, even the "Mountain-Shaking Spiritual Ox Acting as Guiding Spiritual Ox" video, shot for Youfu last night, garnered 180,000 likes overnight.
Indeed, once the heat picks up, the data growth is still swift.
Looking further at the followers, it already reached 480,000.
An increase of over 165,000 fans at once.
Naturally, this also elevated his reputation to: 50,000 reputation (461,735/50,000).
Almost ten times the upgrade requirement.
So, when Chu Hao arrives, plus Reporter Wu might act as an agent for Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea, he could discuss with them both about paying in full first.
In that case, with the accumulated Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea over these days, plus Chu Hao to pay the previous 1.75 million balance, it should roughly meet the upgrade requirements.
And if the sect’s base upgrade doesn’t present other conditions, the next level shouldn’t need to worry about reputation, just earn enough wealth for the upgrade.
He hopes the system acts like a human and doesn’t come up with new tricks to bother people.
Online, as the New City News interview got more and more popular, more people saw this news, especially those following Patriarch Chen’s account.
Professor Wu was just like that.
Due to the previous Lion-Headed Goose incident, he paid close attention to Patriarch Chen, even watching the Guiding Spiritual Ox video posted by the other yesterday.
Last night, he thought Patriarch Chen was being abstract again, even if the Beast Taming Technique was impressive enough to ride a cow around, riding a cow and controlling it to walk versus letting the cow autonomously welcome tourists were totally different.
A cow couldn’t possibly accomplish such a complex and flexibly demanding task; the intelligence limit was there.
But who knew early this morning, he would see Patriarch Chen’s cow really welcoming guests in a news video, furthermore, such provincial renowned news media reported it.
Importantly, this cow not only welcomed guests but even actually led the tourists to the service center, and during the process, it would even glance back to see if the reporter group was following.
Professor Wu suddenly realized something astonishing; Patriarch Chen’s abstract video seemed to start being a bit less abstract.
The man in the white vest was actually a real expert.
The cow indeed could welcome guests!
In the video, Patriarch Chen’s voice rang out again: "For these things, everyone should still see them rationally, just like that Professor Wu from Huazhong Agricultural University said, they all have scientific basis, everyone should believe in science..."
"???" Professor Wu hearing these sudden words, was completely stunned.
Not related to him, is it?
Previously, he just commented on that first Lion-Headed Goose Guardian video, straightly said such a situation could be trained out by scientific means.
After the second array formation video was posted by the other, he felt something a bit unscientific, hence chose to remain silent, submerged, even deleting that comment...
Now what’s this nonsense?
Could Patriarch Chen further link this to him?
Suddenly felt as if a pot came onto his back inexplicably.
Never commenting randomly online again.
Professor Wu was dumbfounded as the video continued, after watching the gardens full of beautiful orchids. The video moved to the dog’s section.
Watching those armored dogs charging forward, he felt a sense of shock.
Especially witnessing the scene of that little mutt proudly shaking hands with the female reporter.
Patriarch Chen’s Beast Taming Technique is truly incredible, training dogs to this state in one day and night.
Of course, what attracted him most was the interview with those three masters of the Chen Family, because he usually practiced Tai Chi for health and fitness, bearing somewhat of a chivalrous sentiment towards traditional martial arts.
And these three masters of the Chen Family had genuine martial arts prowess; he’d seen the video where the dog thief was beaten to the point of bruises.
After knowing the name "Taiyin Long Fist," he even paused the video to search it, finding out this fist technique was indeed long passed down within the Taoist sect, practiced in most places with Taoist legacy.
Seems like the Taoist sect indeed has real martial arts!
Continuing the video, Professor Wu soon was amused by the scene of the three Chen masters practicing fist.
They actually had no uniformity at all.
Many promoting martial arts online, with multiple people practicing together on video, were all done uniformly, weren’t they?
Yet after the female reporter revealed the reason, he suddenly stopped laughing.
Because what the female reporter said was quite reasonable.
With differing individual strength, how could the speed of punching techniques be the same?
Worth pondering a bit.
But he absolutely wouldn’t have thought that it actually was just a mistake and awkward demonstration by the three of the Chen Family.
Professor Wu continued watching the video,
"Patriarch Chen, nowadays is there any kind of martial arts like those in novels?"
"... Believe in science..."
"Xiaoyu, you..."
"... Yes, Senior Brother can wall-climb and roof-soar."
"???" Professor Wu hearing the four words "wall-climbing and roof-soaring" was evidently startled.
Isn’t Patriarch Chen’s junior sister quite abstract too?
Patriarch Chen just said to believe in science, yet she’s popping up something very unscientific like wall-climbing and roof-soaring?
But the subsequent footage truly shocked him, with eyes wide open, watching the video, Patriarch Chen dashed to the wall beneath, then leapt up, subsequently stepping on the wall and leveraging along, surprisingly climbing over a 5-meter roof.
No, Patriarch Chen you really can?
Not just Professor Wu, those online following this news video were flabbergasted at this scene.
What happened to believing in science???
