Chapter 148 - 99: So Fast There’s an Effect? Are You a Shill?
In the kitchen, Chen Han added boiled water to the medicinal dish and heard the commotion outside.
Chen Shuisheng arrived outside the courtyard and put down his granddaughter from his shoulders.
Zheng Yu and Chen Xiaoyan smelled the rich aroma wafting out, their taste buds tingling, and swallowed instinctively.
"Dad, what’s so fragrant?" Chen Xiaoyan asked instinctively.
"Don’t ask what you shouldn’t know, just wait outside." Chen Shuisheng said directly, heading toward the courtyard.
Chen Xiaoyan felt a bit resentful. She was born into the Chen Family, so why couldn’t she know anything now?
Chen Han also saw Chen Shuisheng coming in and put the lid on the stew pot: "Uncle Shuisheng, has everyone arrived?"
Chen Shuisheng promptly said, "Xiaohan, sorry to trouble you for this."
Chen Han nodded, left the kitchen, and went outside to meet Uncle Shuisheng’s daughter’s family.
To be honest, he didn’t have a deep impression of Uncle Shuisheng’s daughter, mainly due to the age difference. He was in elementary school, while she seemed to be in middle school living on campus.
Chen Xiaoyan hadn’t forgotten her father’s instructions, greeting quickly when she saw him: "Greetings, Patriarch!"
Zheng Yu also showed a hint of reverence: "Greetings, Patriarch Chen!"
Chen Shuisheng pulled over the little girl: "Xiaoni, call Uncle, let him take a look at your eyes!"
"Uncle..." The little girl seemed a bit confused but still obediently called out.
Chen Han wasn’t sure what to look for with her eyes, but they were all like this, so he pretended to check, removing the shield over her eye. The little girl’s eye was slightly red and swollen, lacking any vitality, clearly indicating significant trouble.
"Uncle, my eye hurts!" The little girl immediately felt uncomfortable.
Chen Xiaoyan quickly said, "Xiaoni’s eyes are sensitive to light now!"
"Alright, got it." Chen Han nodded, then instructed Chen Shuisheng: "Uncle Shuisheng, have your folks rest at home first. I’ll stew some herbs here, and later you should prepare with Auntie for Xiaoni’s blessing ceremony, to expel the evil spirit with the herbs. Her eyes should be fine then."
"Sure!" Chen Shuisheng agreed, unconditionally trusting Chen Han’s arrangements.
Chen Xiaoyan and Zheng Army exchanged glances, opening their mouths as if to say something, but couldn’t speak.
You know, they’ve taken their daughter to so many proper hospitals without any solution, and now what did this patriarch say?
Stew some herbs and have a blessing to dispel evil, and she’ll be cured?
Before, they would have thought it was an outdated remnant, absolutely unbelievable.
But now, they dare not refute, as they are truly helpless with their daughter’s situation.
Moreover, if their daughter’s ailment can truly be cured like this, then it’s terrifying. What kind of family is the Chen Family?
After Uncle Shuisheng led the people away, Chen Han suddenly looked baffled at the game prompt that appeared suddenly:
[System detected new data packet fragment, significant increase in data packet (2) data fragment collection...]
[Within the clan, a master sought help, bringing the injured-eyed granddaughter for your preliminary examination, discovering that the little girl’s eye was invaded by medicinal liquid contaminated with demonic qi, the kind seemingly produced only by the dedicated Pill Sect for alchemy. Now the Pill Sect’s medicinal liquid actually contaminates demonic qi, indicating the Demon Dao’s forces have possibly infiltrated the Pill Sect, making you feel again the colossal threat of the Demon Dao, knowing that the Pill Sect supplies numerous loose cultivators with elixirs... Currently, your power is incapable, only able to observe secretly, while planning treatment for the little girl, intending to purify the demonic qi in her eyes through blessing by the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable, and combine it with medicinal treatment, while strengthening defenses against the Demon Dao forces!]
Chen Han was amazed, this data packet (2) still being collected?
Previously, data packet (1) was collected in no time and successfully loaded, but now (2) is taking so long.
Or was it that (1) had a bug and was urgently processed to cope with him, the player?
He then looked at the second game prompt.
No surprise with the strange descriptions of Demon Dao, Pill Sect, and such, given the system’s bugs, the story background is always concocted weirdly, like when concocting Xiaomi’s Magical Artifact to deal with him, with that ’scum-man die, die, die, die’ description, truly powerless to sneer.
But isn’t this last segment identical to what he just arranged for Uncle Shuisheng’s granddaughter?
So the game system collected data packet fragments from him, right?
The critical thing is, they are freeloading, directly using the text.
At least pay the copyright fee, then he wouldn’t mind.
...
Chen Xiaoyan, Zheng Yu, and their daughter followed Chen Shuisheng to their own courtyard. As they entered the door, Chen Xiaoyan couldn’t help asking, "Dad, will the treatment the Patriarch mentioned really work?"
"Since you’re doubting, why did you come here? You’re here now, just follow the arrangement." Chen Shuisheng, now completely trusting Xiaohan, the patriarch, scolded his daughter without hesitation.
"Oh!" Chen Xiaoyan nodded, entering the house, she followed her father to their own room, definitely unable to return today.
Upon entering the room, she was surprised: "So cool, Dad, did you turn on the air conditioner for me beforehand?"
"Can’t you check if it’s on yourself?" Chen Shuisheng said smugly, as Xiaohan previously ordered those potted plants, ordering extra. He and Chen Dagou both got two sets.
The Feng Shui layout of this room was his personal study, measuring positions and arranging it out.
In the Chen Family, this counts as knowing Feng Shui, so he wanted to show off in front of his daughter and son-in-law.
Chen Xiaoyan looked at the room air conditioner, which was indeed off...
