I Materialized the Cultivation Game

Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Is the Spirit Shadow Treasure Mirror Something Everyone Can Own?

After filming the video with his junior sister, Chen Han returned to the deck chair to rest.

Xiaoyu, holding her phone, also came over and sat on the deck chair, using her shapely hips to nudge him: ”Senior brother, make some room for me!”

Although she said ”make room,” she had already squeezed her butt in, half of her body leaning against him, not caring whether the small deck chair could bear the weight.

”Junior sister, have you ever heard of the old saying ’men and women should maintain a proper distance’?” Chen Hanzhen couldn’t help but remind his junior sister. With such an intimate posture, does she not know she has a good figure or that her lingering fragrance is very enchanting?

”Senior brother, weren’t we always like this before? I used to be afraid of the dark, and you would sleep with me.” Xiaoyu said, suddenly looking at him with a pitiful and resentful expression: ”Senior brother, are you disgusted with me now?”

”...” Chen Han was speechless. They were only a few years old at that time, but he really couldn’t handle his junior sister’s expression, as if he was bullying her.

He simply stopped speaking and let her be.

”Hee hee!” Xiaoyu’s mouth curled up.

A little pleased.

Handling senior brother isn’t difficult at all.

She also quickly picked up her phone to edit, splicing the segment where her senior brother made the apple disappear into the video shot yesterday.

Watching the way her senior brother made the apple disappear again, she still couldn’t see the trick behind it.

”Senior brother, your skill is really amazing.” Xiaoyu couldn’t help but praise him again.

When she was done editing and uploading the video, she reminded him: ”Senior brother, I uploaded the video and tagged your account. If the video data is good, some people might follow you.”

Chen Han nodded and also took out his phone to open Tiao Yin.

He had previously created a Tiao Yin account called Patriarch Chen.

After all, he initially planned to promote the Chen Clan Ancient Building Complex on Tiao Yin, hoping to leverage his girlfriend’s influence in pursuing her.

She was a national style influencer with over 3 million followers, and having her help promote the Chen Clan Ancient Building Complex could definitely attract many tourists.

Maybe they could even turn the Chen Clan Ancient Building Complex into an online sensation.

However, after being diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer, he no longer had the energy for such things and just wanted to quietly say goodbye to this world.

But now, because of this game system, he had to pay attention. After all, his life was on the line. Just relying on the Spiritual Energy Flush at the Special Spiritual Acupoints to increase half a day’s life each day would, at most, allow him to live 24 more days.

By then, he would still have to say goodbye to this world.

So, he had to upgrade the Sect’s Base to get new rewards.

And upgrading required wealth and reputation, which all needed to be provided by tourists, so they needed to attract more tourists.

Chen Han searched for his junior sister’s account.

Her account ’Xiaoyuzha’ already had 600,000 followers, and any video of her looking beautiful while sword dancing or impressively practicing martial arts would get tens of thousands of likes.

When she filmed promotional videos for the Chen Clan Ancient Building Complex, they only got 2,000 to 3,000 likes.

All those LSPs were drawn by the junior sister’s beauty.

He saw the video his junior sister uploaded, perhaps due to the attributes of Ancient +2 and Aesthetics +2 from the Sect’s Base, the video’s data seemed good once it entered the traffic pool PK, quickly gaining over 40 likes.

He learned about traffic pool PK from his girlfriend; every video uploaded on Tiao Yin would initially receive about 500 views.

Within those 500 views, the PK starts. If the video is attractive, it gains likes, comments, shares, follows, and saves.

If the data is poor, the flow stops midway with no new traffic. If the data is good, it enters the next round of traffic PK and gets new views.

So, people with many followers have an advantage in this traffic PK, as the data created by old followers is also calculated in the PK figures.

Xiaoyu was thrilled: ”Senior brother, the promotional video we shot this time is performing really well—at this rate, it might surpass 10,000 likes.”

No wonder she was happy. Previously, promotional videos for the Chen Clan Ancient Building Complex mostly got 2,000 to 3,000 likes; people preferred watching her sword dancing and martial arts.

Furthermore, with some appearing comments, her pretty face brimmed with more smiles:

”Where is this place? It’s hard to find such purely ancient architecture these days; I feel a bit tempted to visit.”

”Not only is it quaint and traditional, but maintaining such ancient aesthetics is really eye-catching. Blogger, could you provide the location?”

”...”

Seeing people interested in the Chen Clan Ancient Building Complex made Xiaoyu eagerly reply in the comment section: ”This is the Chen Clan Ancient Building Complex in Shangyuan Village, Linhe County. You can find the ticket link on my homepage.”

Her dedication paid off, and she suddenly beamed with pride: ”Senior brother, someone’s booked four tickets for the day after tomorrow through the video.”

”Hmm, thank you for your hard work.” Chen Han smiled and patted his junior sister on the head.

His affectionate gesture made Xiaoyu even happier.

As long as her senior brother understood how hard she was working, it didn’t feel like hard work at all.

She continued to check the video data and suddenly said: ”Senior brother, someone says your Ancient Techniques are just special effects.”

Chen Han chuckled.

He also saw the new comment: ”The scenery of the ancient building complex is nice, but are you serious about the performance at the end of the video? Are you sure those 10 apples have a place to hide, is it special effects?”

No need to explain this kind of thing.

Online, sometimes, no matter how much you explain, even if it’s true, those who don’t believe will still not believe; the more you explain, the more they’ll insult you as an idiot.

Being dragged to the same level by an idiot and explaining to them—isn’t that being an idiot?

Just then, a sudden game system prompt appeared, leaving Chen Han momentarily stunned.

[Congratulations, through the Spirit Shadow Treasure Mirror’s transmission, you’ve gained a follower and earned 1 reputation point!]

”???” Chen Han instinctively looked at the phone in his hand.

Spirit Shadow Treasure Mirror?

Transmission = video?

Oh my, the game system is here again.

The key is that although the data package it loads is bizarre, some things correspond inexplicably well.

Who can understand this feeling?

He seemed to realize something, opened the back-end of Tiao Yin, and sure enough, found someone followed him.

It’s probably from the junior sister’s video.

In the Cultivation Realm, to have followers, one must have reputation; why so many people follow the Emei Sect is because of its high reputation.

Now, gaining fans through video is also considered followers, which can increase reputation.

No, what video recording, this is clearly through the Spirit Shadow Treasure Mirror’s transmission increasing followers.

A thing like the Spirit Shadow Treasure Mirror sounds like a treasure, not everyone in the Cultivation Realm can have it. Is it strange to transmit and increase followers?

Isn’t this reasonable?

After a long time, Chen Han received another game system notification:

[Congratulations, through the Spirit Shadow Treasure Mirror’s transmission, you’ve added a follower and gained 1 reputation point!]

Chen Han now stared at the Spirit Shadow Treasure Mirror in his hand thoughtfully. Previously, he wasn’t keen on transmitting, but now seeing that it can increase reputation, such a treasure should be well utilized.

The junior sister’s video effect has improved significantly this time, having over 1,000 likes by noon, and surprisingly, 21 tickets were ordered through this video, which is good news.

However, transformed to Chen Han’s side, it only helped him gain 7 fans and 7 reputation points.

In the afternoon, Uncle Dagou and Uncle Shuisheng had already carried back dozens of bamboos.

When he arrived at the pavilion, the little uncle was already with two uncles building a fence wall.

Uncle Dagou was robust and strong, with a slash of the machete, he effortlessly split a bamboo.

Seeing him arrive, Chen Lin asked, ”Xiaohan, just saw Xiaoyu, she said 30 tourists will be coming these days. Dagou and the others want to try crafting some bamboo crafts to see if anyone will buy them, what do you think?”

Hearing this, Uncle Dagou seemed eager: ”Yes, when it comes to bamboo crafting, our skills are pretty good, we can make many things.”

In the Chen Clan Ancient Building tourism, what to sell, what price, these need to be decided by Chen Han as the Patriarch.

As the Patriarch, Chen Han actually has the responsibility to help the clan prosper. When his father wanted to develop Chen Clan Ancient Building tourism, he had this intention, but it didn’t achieve much.

Therefore, seeing the little uncle and others suggesting, Uncle Dagou and Uncle Shuisheng seem to want to try, so he said, ”Uncle Dagou, Uncle Shuisheng, you guys make some bamboo fans, bamboo swords first, I will study the pricing.”

”Alright.” Uncle Dagou was all smiles upon getting the response.

During the conversation, several barks came from outside.

Woof Woof Woof!~

Chen Han saw that little mutt stride along the road outside, and a group of dogs followed by its side, naturally walking with an imposing presence, and if there’s a bit of Triad music...

Behind this pack of dogs was a little white dog with a limp, barking the fiercest.

[Crisis Warning: The vicinity of the Sect’s Base is permeated with demon Qi, a growing number of same species Dog Demon gathering. Investigate quickly to determine if their gathering poses any threat to the Sect’s Base!]

Seeing this prompt, Chen Han also stepped beyond the range of the old elm trees. Since he needed to investigate the Dog Demons’ purpose, he had to follow to see what was going on.

Anyway, he just saw the pack of Dog Demons heading towards the entrance of the village.

As he followed, he suddenly looked at the phone in his hand.

Thinking about the matter of gaining followers and reputation through Tiao Yin, he immediately activated the Spirit Shadow Treasure Mirror to record: ”Hello everyone, I am the Patriarch of the Chen Family, recently discovering Dog Demons gathering outside the clan, demon Qi rampant. Today, I am undertaking a dangerous mission to track the Dog Demons and uncover their purpose.”

Such a dangerous task definitely requires being documented by the Spirit Shadow Treasure Mirror, and using the mirror’s transmission feature to let everyone know, to see if such a risky task can increase followers and reputation.
