I Materialized the Cultivation Game

”This has amazed countless people, but thinking about it now, in Shangyuan Village outside the Chen Family, no one is unlucky, yet people keep getting caught there.”

”First was the human trafficking operation last time, taken down completely, thanks to a clue provided by Ming Di.”

”Then there’s the recently apprehended illegitimate child; I heard billions were recovered. This illegitimate child was also exposed by Ming Di, and fans jokingly say he specializes in delivering criminals with silver bracelets.”

”This time, the one selling fake Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea was also first discovered by Ming Di. With such achievements, isn’t it scary how good Ming Di actually is?”

Chu Hao was stunned watching the video. It seems, indeed, Ming Di is quite something.

Not just him, people online were also surprised.

Before, the abstract videos didn’t seem like much, but now that it’s explained in detail, who could do such things?

A normal person couldn’t take down a trafficking ring, couldn’t deliver fugitives to police who couldn’t even catch them through warrants, and definitely couldn’t spot a fraudster immediately when they get close and then deliver them.

The key is, every time Ming Di delivers someone it’s just to make a video.

Turns out these criminals are just his video material.

Extraordinary!

This kind of amazing person must be followed.

You never know which unlucky fellow might get sent away next.

In Shangyuan Village, Ming Di was almost overwhelmed with joy from the endless notifications in the admin panel.

It’s all attention.

Fans are skyrocketing.

Taking the blame for Patriarch Chen, didn’t the benefits just come rolling in?

The key is the praise from those people online, really makes him feel like floating.

Turns out he’s this awesome.

If it weren’t for the people online, he wouldn’t even know.

But look, connecting those three cases, in outsiders’ eyes, doesn’t he seem very impressive?

But these people have no idea, he’s really just taking the fall.

Still confused, Patriarch Chen has already pinned it on him.

Captain Huang’s banner hasn’t even been received, and Captain Li also said he wants to give him a banner.

Honestly, he’s not a fan of this kind of empty fame; at most, he’ll hang the banner on the wall behind his streaming spot for the audience to admire.

A knock on the door sounded.

Opening the door.

Zhu Xueqin walked in, full of surprise: ”Lin Ming, is that really you they’re talking about online? Are you really that amazing?”

Ming Di looked at her incredulous, slightly admiring gaze, his face full of a smile: ”What else? You have no idea how amazing I am.”

As the online buzz got higher and higher, the negative reviews of the Chen Family vanished, and the situation completely reversed.

While Ming Di, this Demon Path Demon, skyrocketed to fame, the Chen Family didn’t forget to promote the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea, allowing it to become more well-known.

Moreover, Xiaoyu specifically announced that besides purchasing Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea from their two Chen Family authorized dealers, the only way to buy it is offline at the Chen Family. There are no other online methods, not even sold during their livestreaming.

Why not sell it? Just kidding, Tiao Yin’s commission is too steep.

This buzz lasted until the next day, hitting the trending list first thing in the morning, with a very high ranking.

Speaking of the next day, Li Rui, the captain, came knocking again, mainly to inform about the case progress.

Regardless of politeness, or because the Chen Family was part of the incident.

”Captain Li, is there progress in the case?” Chen Han asked upon meeting.

”That accomplice of Guo Yang’s didn’t have time to escape and was caught; they confessed everything.” Li Rui said, then sighed: ”Even though Guo Yang confessed, and revealed related bank accounts and documents, the money is gone, all overseas. To this extent... sigh...”

Li Rui didn’t continue, but just sighed.

Chen Han understood what it meant, probably can’t be traced further.

This kind of case having a 3% clearance rate, as Huang Xin mentioned yesterday, is mainly due to this.

Even in today’s rapidly advancing technological society, with more and more methods, the clearance rate is slightly up, but last year, this kind of case had just over an 8% clearance rate.

This year it seems even lower because criminals are also updating their tactics.

For instance, every time an uncle promotes anti-fraud through videos, criminals immediately use AI to impersonate and scam, truly hard to guard against.

Aside from these, once the money is overseas, everyone knows.

A mere million.

Perhaps the word ’mere’ might offend many, but compared to major cases, it’s really just two simple words.

After all, international operations require very complex processes, high risks in the enforcement environment, possible retaliations, and support may not be available.

It also involves jurisdictional disputes and related issues.

Alright, those things are theoretical, realistically speaking, how many people need to go, for how long, how much money to spend, and who bears the responsibility.

See who at the local, city, or provincial level is willing to sign off on this.

One outing is a huge expense, and if the person cannot be located, the funds are wasted, and if any problems arise, there’s significant responsibility to bear.

However, none of this concerns the Chen Family now that they are cleared.

”Regarding Guo Yang’s case, we’ll hand it over to another department to keep watch; if any day his accomplices return and are discovered, perhaps they can be caught again.” Li Rui said, then took out a notice letter and handed it to Chen Han: ”Patriarch Chen, this is the handling notice for Mi Shou, please sign for a receipt.”

Normally, this kind of thing doesn’t require his handling, but different methods for different people, right? Flexible application.

”Hmm!” Chen Han nodded.

This marked the close of the incident, and henceforth has nothing to do with the Chen family.

Li Rui chatted for a bit more before leaving the Chen family, but Chen Han hadn’t received any notification of task completion in the game.

In theory, it should be complete now; unless they have to wait for Guo Yang’s accomplices to be caught?

That would be forever!

It shouldn’t take that long; after all, the game system only mentioned infiltrators from the Yin Mountain Sect within the Chen Family, and those aren’t infiltrators.

Fortunately, by the afternoon, Chen Han received the game notification of task completion:

[Congratulations on eliminating the Yin Mountain Sect Demon Path Demon lurking within the Chen Family, thwarting their plot, removing negative impacts on the family, and elevating the family’s reputation.]

[Moreover, when the family members handled this Demon Path Demon’s body, a special magical artifact was found, the Illusion Mask (Damaged)!]

[Congratulations, you have obtained the magical artifact Illusion Mask (Damaged)!]

Chen Han was astounded.

This Yin Mountain Sect Demon Path Demon caused significant negative impact on the Chen Family, yet who would’ve thought they also delivered a damaged magical artifact.

He promptly looked toward the game warehouse and saw the notes on the Illusion Mask:

[Illusion Mask (Damaged): This is a magical artifact originating from the Yin Mountain Sect. Though it lacks any offensive methods, it is a treasure used for stealth and disguise. Activating the artifact triggers the illusion effect, however, during the battle with the Yin Mountain Sect expert, the illusion was damaged, leading to it being incomplete. Now it only retains the illusion effect and cannot simulate aura, energy, and multiple other functionalities.]

Chen Han understood. In the game plot, the Yin Mountain Sect expert used this artifact to impersonate Chen Clan Members, causing a negative impact on the Chen Family.

However, seeing the note’s effects also sparked his curiosity about the Illusion Mask.

With a thought, the Illusion Mask appeared in his hand, entirely black, with some special runes on it.

He immediately infused True Qi into the Illusion Mask, and instantly, the runes on the mask glowed with black streaming light.

The black light flowed along his arm, covering it, quickly covering his entire body, and what happened next left him dumbfounded.

This magical artifact is quite impressive!
