I Materialized the Cultivation Game

Chapter 160 - 103: Of Course Players Will Pull Aggro! Is Patriarch Chen Cultivating? (2)

After a moment, the two thieves were already tied to a post, with Youcai and his subordinates surrounding them, baring their teeth and barking continuously.

The two thieves felt their legs go weak.

"Why did you come to steal the tea?" Chen Han looked at them and asked with a smile.

Neither dared to hesitate, and one of them quickly responded, "We saw the New City News report on the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea and knew that a wealthy person bought it. They bought two barrels all at once, spending a total of 480,000 yuan."

"Yeah, that’s why we thought we could make a quick buck," the other one didn’t dare to hide either.

Two barrels mean two pounds, and 480,000 yuan was with a 20% markup as reported by Reporter Wu.

Thinking about it this way, they had wrongly blamed Chu Hao, the Demon Cult Demon.

Chen Han suddenly smiled again as he looked at the two thieves, "Do you know any other thieves? The kind who have committed crimes, contact them to come over and steal some Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea with you!"

The two were stunned and quickly shook their heads:

"Patriarch Chen, we dare not, we absolutely dare not!"

"Please forgive us, we will report ourselves to the police!"

The two had figured it out, at most they attempted theft. It wouldn’t be long before they were out, but being tied up with so many dogs around was truly dangerous.

"No, you dare, you even have to contact other thieves to pull off a big job," Chen Han said with a big smile, looking at them while crouching down to ask Youcai, "Youcai, do you know where you dogs should bite to make them barren?"

Woof, woof!

Youcai barked and then directly placed its paw on one thief’s egg.

"Whoa, you really know!" Chen Han was stunned.

He only intended to scare the two thieves, but who knew...

This scared the two thieves so much they almost wet themselves. If that spot really got bitten, it would truly make them barren.

Now they understood, this Patriarch Chen was trying to fish for law enforcement.

But he’s not a policeman, why would he do this?

They couldn’t understand at all.

The thief whom the dog had caught on the egg, hurriedly said, "Patriarch Chen, I know a group. Their leader is a habitual offender who was on the wanted list a while ago and was planning to pull another job. I can contact them."

"Great, you saved your egg," Chen Han said with a satisfied smile.

Since the game system doesn’t let the bug drop items, then keep attracting mobs to kill for drops, right? Doesn’t every player know how to lure mobs?

As for why it has to be someone who has committed a crime, those who understand, understand. This group the thief spoke of was just right.

As he finished speaking, Youcai’s paw lifted from the thief’s egg.

At this moment, Uncle Dagou seemed to understand his patriarch’s purpose, asking, "Xiaohan, you’re deliberately trying to lure a group of people to catch them, make an example out of them, right? So that those who don’t know better won’t keep coming."

Chen Han thought Uncle Dagou was good at making conjectures, but this was also a reason. So he nodded and said, "Uncle Dagou, I’ll leave this matter to you. Remember to communicate with Captain Li from the county."

"Leave it to me," Uncle Dagou promised at once, appearing eager to try.

Almost simultaneously, Chen Han received a game notification:

"After capturing the two Demon Path Demons sent by Yang Chengzhi, you learned from them that Yang Chengzhi had sent more than just the two. So, you plan to use them to lure the enemy deep, setting an ambush to clean up all these Demon Path Demons!"

With a game notification, it indicated that attracting mobs to explode spirit stones was feasible.

However, attracting mobs also needed time, so he entrusted it entirely to Uncle Dagou and returned home.

On the way, he saw people from the family moving old items out from their courtyards and starting to renovate and decorate.

The family had sent out a message to free up a room as a guest room, offering the chance to earn 400 yuan a day, 12,000 a month, and some even said that if the Chen Family tourism went well, the daily rate could be even higher.

So, everyone was full of enthusiasm.

Who would have thought that by freeing up a room in their own dilapidated house, they could still earn so much a month?

Naturally, they would have to cover their own living expenses, so everyone actively signed up, with Chen Xiaoyan, who had just returned, handling the registration and procurement.

These people saw Chen Han approaching and all greeted him:

"Patriarch!"

"Patriarch!"

"..."

Each one was very respectful and sincere in their attitude.

Everyone knew who to thank for the current situation of the Chen Family. Truly, now no one dared to disrespect the patriarch or sabotage Chen Family tourism; they were willing to fight to the death with anyone who tried.

Chen Han could sense the change. Seeing this scene, he thought of his dad and mom, and if they hadn’t been caught in a mudslide, they would probably be very happy to see this now.

If this were ancient times, with this kind of reputation, at the mere raising of his arm, a group of clansmen armed with sticks and weapons would gather, and they would be a formidable force ready for battle.

If the Chen Family had servants, numerous fields, and tenants, at the raising of his arm, he could gather a thousand people; if there were enough wealth, with sufficient armor and weapons and a capable commander, a thousand elite soldiers could be trained quickly.

If the Chen Family was famous within ten miles and summoned the young and robust, at least several thousand could gather and follow. If this were during the chaotic times of the Three Kingdoms, it would be the foundation to raise an army, much like how Cao Cao started.

However, in modern times, the best he could do was contribute to socialist construction and get the clansmen involved in building a better country.

Over 5,000 need to report taxes; arranging work for clansmen and paying taxes, there’s nothing wrong with that, right?

At night, after dinner, Chen Han returned to his courtyard. Today, the dogs watched the two thieves and didn’t go to the mountain, leaving no Cyan-Feathered Pheasant meat.

However, another low-grade spirit stone dropped, and after his bath, he once again operated the "Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method" to cultivate, absorbing the spiritual energy and refining it.

The True Qi increased bit by bit as he cultivated, and simultaneously, he continued to attempt to impact the first Chong Meridian.

The next day, when the alarm he set went off, a smile appeared on his face. A night of cultivation had allowed him to advance slightly in opening the Chong Meridian, which was a good sign.

As the hour approached 5:00 AM, he washed and went downstairs. Today, he still hadn’t seen Moon Gazing Sand; the Moon Gazing Rabbit wasn’t performing, should he give it some pressure?

He’d heard that a dish of red steamed rabbit was quite good, should he taste it in front of these Moon Gazing Rabbits?

With sufficient pressure, efficiency increases.

He sat cross-legged in the pavilion, with Youfu and Youcai, the ox and dog, lying behind him. As the spiritual energy flush arrived, they squintingly enjoyed it.

Chen Han operated the "Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method" to cultivate, unaware of the passage of time.

After a while, a female voice sounded, "The view of the Chen Family in the early morning sunlight is truly beautiful, especially the ancient buildings, which seem to be gilded in gold in the morning light."

"Hmm!" A male voice responded.

A man and a woman jogged over, and their matching outfits indicated they were a couple.

Coming to a tourism spot yet not forgetting to go for a morning run clearly showed they were very disciplined people; otherwise, who thinks about running while on vacation...

When the couple reached the surroundings of the three old elm trees, they felt a refreshing comfort and couldn’t help but express admiration:

"It really is comfortable here, just like described online."

"This flower wall is also beautiful, and those bamboo strips, husband, take a video for me."

The couple ran over, and the woman posed next to the flower wall.

After shooting a video, they began to inspect the flowers of the flower wall, finding them much more beautiful than what they had seen elsewhere.

Soon, they discovered an astonishing sight. Behind the flower wall sat the Chen Patriarch, cross-legged, with the internet-famous ox and dog lying behind him.

Patriarch Chen sat there without moving, appearing as if in cultivation, and seemed to blend into his surroundings.

It was truly magical.

"Could it be that the Chen Family really has some kind of cultivation method?" the woman speculated with increasing shock, since ordinary people can’t hold that posture for long without their legs going numb.

"Quick, record this, he’s been sitting there cross-legged for a long time," the man said as he took out his phone, recording Chen Han while whispering into it, "Everyone, do you see this? Patriarch Chen has been sitting cross-legged in that pavilion for a long time, not moving at all. I suspect he’s cultivating."

After the recording, seeing that Patriarch Chen still hadn’t moved, he found it incredible.

He couldn’t help but upload the video to Tiao Yin, with the title: "Lucky morning, caught Patriarch Chen in cultivation!"

But soon, he discovered that his video had gone viral, causing quite a stir on Tiao Yin.
