Chapter 144 - 97: Abnormal Sword Control! It’s Really Not Special Effects! (3)
Ever since my daughter’s eye problem started, it has gotten worse, and now the light is unbearable for her, so this is the only way.
My husband came in and shook his head at me, meaning he took our daughter to another hospital today, but still couldn’t find the cause.
Chen Xiaoyan couldn’t help but sigh, really wanting to curse that doctor.
If it weren’t for the fact that the doctor couldn’t be found after being suspended, she’d really want to chop him up with a kitchen knife.
The phone rang, and seeing it was her father’s call, a hint of anticipation appeared on her face, because she heard from her father today that the Patriarch had a special medicine that might cure eye problems.
She had some impression of the current Patriarch of the Chen Family, Chen Han, who was a few years younger than her and was the legitimate son of the Main Family.
When she was young in the Chen Family, many elders reminded her that the younger ones should yield a bit to him because he was the future Patriarch.
But as she studied, even went to college, she scoffed at all this, a Patriarch, in this day and age?
Everyone gets one shot at life, why should she give in to him?
She even thought that the Chen Family, retaining such outdated traditions, is just remnants of the old society.
She never expected to have any interaction with him.
And to her surprise, he actually became an internet celebrity.
She heard her father mention it, so she specifically checked it out, and then saw the video news of the cow guiding tourists, the dog in armor patrolling the mountains, and the Patriarch climbing walls and rooftops.
This left her dumbfounded.
Why had she never seen such things growing up in the Chen Family?
Could it be that she grew up in a fake Chen Family?
"Dad!" Chen Xiaoyan answered the call immediately.
Chen Shuisheng directly said, "Xiaoyan, bring Xiaoni over tomorrow to let Xiaohan take a look."
"Okay, okay!" Chen Xiaoyan replied immediately. As long as there’s hope, they must try.
So, she also told her husband, "Take a day off tomorrow and come with me to the Chen Family. They have some medicine that Xiaoni can try."
Zheng Yu heard his wife’s words, his brows immediately furrowed: "Are you clutching at straws here, believing in the Chen Family with its feudal remnants? Why trust home remedies over proper hospitals?"
Chen Xiaoyan got angry at hearing this: "Wasn’t it the proper hospitals that left Xiaoni’s eyes like this? Haven’t several proper hospitals failed?"
"This..." Zheng Yu gave himself a slap upon hearing this.
Indeed, how could he be defending the hospitals?
He was truly at fault.
But he still hesitantly said, "But the Chen Family’s feudal state, still superstitious, what if the home remedies make Xiaoni worse?"
Chen Xiaoyan didn’t know how to respond to this, so she directly took out a video and handed it over: "This is the current Patriarch of the Chen Family."
Zheng Yu looked at the video out of curiosity and saw a person stepping on the wall to gain momentum, then getting onto a rooftop more than 5 meters high.
"Holy crap..."
...
On the other side, after hanging up the phone with his daughter, Chen Shuisheng also reported to Chen Han: "Xiaohan, I’m having Xiaoyan bring her daughter over tomorrow, I’ll be counting on you then."
"Mm!" Chen Han nodded, while thinking about how to make the little girl eat the Moon Gazing Sand.
The simplest way would naturally be to just give it straightforwardly, but that would lack style and be too easy.
They could first have her rest quietly for a couple of days, drink some cooling herbal teas like Grass Root Soup, arrange to make offerings to the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable, have aunts dance for blessings and perform some rituals, and then drink a cup of Talismanic Water along with a Moon Gazing Sand.
This could make everything seem mysterious, letting people know how precious the items are, and after experiencing it, discovering its effectiveness would make them awestruck.
Chen Han decided to implement it like this.
No matter how wealthy someone might be, even if they tried to bribe with money, these steps had to be followed, as the stuff is made by the Moon Gazing Rabbit, and it’s up to him to decide how people consume it.
To come up with these elaborate and awe-inspiring methods, he rather admired his own creativity.
After dinner, Xiaoyu said, "Senior brother, I need to go edit the video of you filing in the county today, Sister Xiaomi, let’s go!"
While speaking, she didn’t forget to link arms with Xiaomi, and they left together.
After finishing his meal, Chen Han also returned to his room, looked over some video data, and saw that the Dog Demon rescue video already had 2.78 million likes, definitely a viral hit, as his followers had surpassed 500,000.
However, after surpassing 2.5 million likes, the video’s growth rate started to slow down, and reaching 3 million likes seemed tough.
Therefore, he planned to shoot another video, and now had the perfect material, so he could show those online what Sword Control Technique means, which would surely attract a lot of traffic.
But by then, it would likely be viewed as special effects again, and Tiao Yin’s special effects notification was quite impressive.
Yet that’s exactly the effect he wanted, blurring reality and illusion!
He even set up his phone solemnly, as he began recording, earnestly saying to the camera: "As the Patriarch, I’ve studied family archives today and learned a Sword Control Technique, especially to show all fellow cultivators, and by the way, it’s not special effects, not special effects, really not special effects!"
