I Materialized the Cultivation Game

”Wow, does the Chen Family have this function?”

”If doing something wrong indeed brings bad luck to the Chen Family, then isn’t cheating considered doing something wrong?”

”Then this place is even more authoritative than the Civil Affairs Bureau?”

”...”

Chen Han didn’t find these words surprising. Previously, many couples were scared off and canceled their bookings, and now with this minor punishment, major warning attribute, it indeed serves as a way to verify the other half.

Once this unique feature spreads, people might soon use it to test their boyfriends or girlfriends.

At that moment, the man suddenly got angry: ”I did cheat, damn it, but I give you ten thousand as spending money every month, provide you a car, meet a few times a month, and you have no sense of these?”

The girl was stunned upon hearing this.

The surrounding tourists erupted in chatter.

This was too explosive.

Even Chen Han was wide-eyed. Could this really happen?

Outside the Chen Family, Little Uncle was already leading the Workshop Hall members in planting the Jade Flower Trees with full force.

In the clan members’ yards, others could be seen transporting potted plants and climbing floral varieties.

The Chen Family had ordered from the Linhe County Flower Cultivation Base more than once, so this time the delivery speed was extremely fast.

At this speed, everything should be finished by the day after tomorrow.

Time passed.

Another night went by.

When Chen Han opened his eyes the next day, the Basic Spirit Stone in his hand had used up all its Spiritual Qi and turned into an ordinary jade stone, without a hint of Spiritual Qi.

Now his warehouse only had one Basic Spirit Stone left. Once it is used up, he would have to rely on the Special Spiritual Acupoints.

The key was that even this spirit stone wasn’t enough to help him unlock another of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

He felt that the game system should be sensible enough to reward him with more spirit stones.

Getting up to wash up, Chen Han went to the yard and saw the floating starlight in the Moon Gazing Rabbit cage—there was Moon Gazing Sand again.

He simply collected the Moon Gazing Sand and then headed to the Special Spiritual Acupoint.

Now, the outer floral wall’s second layer around the pavilion had mostly grown in, blocking the inside from view; from the outside, the pavilion was barely discernible.

Inside, his junior sister and Little Uncle had already arrived. After greeting them, he sat cross-legged, waiting for the Spiritual Energy Flush.

Finishing his cultivation, he was once again the only one left in the pavilion, with a series of Wish Power increase notifications in his mind.

It meant people within the clan had finished their morning exercises.

He returned to Little Uncle’s kitchen to prepare medicinal meals and also texted his junior sister, asking her to bring some aloe and olive oil later.

Yesterday, he promised the Lobster girls some Scar Remover Cream, so he needed to make the item.

On the way to Little Uncle’s kitchen, he noticed the excitement among the clan members he passed by.

”Have you seen the salary table posted in the family group? What’s your salary?”

”I’m responsible for picking bamboo leaves, 7,500 basic salary + 500 full attendance + 1,500 bonus, totaling 9,500!”

”You have more than me; we in the Workshop Hall only have a 6,000 basic salary + 500 full attendance and a 1,500 bonus, totaling 8,000.”

”It’s not bad, though. Your Workshop Hall was busy last month too, but still lighter work than ours.”

”...”

The salaries for June were already calculated. Last month, most clan members worked a full month, so when you add full attendance and bonuses, it amounted to quite a bit.

Naturally, not every department’s bonuses were as substantial, depending on the circumstances, calculated and compiled by Xiaoyan’s side.

Now, Xiaoyan had posted the salary details in the family group.

This was typical, as many companies have different payroll schedules, but generally, salary reports were visible at the beginning of the month, waiting for paycheck day.

That’s why today every Chen Family member wore smiles, not anticipating so much from full attendance and bonuses.

Compared to previous jobs outside, such a good thing was unheard of.

They were increasingly thankful they returned, feeling ever more grateful to the Patriarch.

Some excited clan members stopped to greet Chen Han respectfully as he passed by.

Chen Han nodded in response. Upon reaching Little Uncle’s kitchen and finishing the medicinal meals, Xiaoyu came over with the aloe and olive oil, and he immediately used the prepared Spirit Flower Powder to make the Scar Remover Cream.

...

In the county.

As work began, Chu Ping and Chen Kai gathered together.

”Director Chen, how’s the research on the materials going?” Chu Ping inquired as they met.

This matter was currently his top concern.

Chen Kai shook his head and said, ”I haven’t found any relevant materials. Checked county records from way back, and there’s no mention of the Hundred Flowers Palace. However, I did find some resources, not sure if they’re related to the Hundred Flowers Palace.”

As he spoke, he handed over a stack of documents.

”Let’s head to the Chen Family and see how the Patriarch is progressing,” Chu Ping said, taking the documents and planning to review them on the way to the Chen Family.

He was most curious about the Stone Stele, with a gut feeling it wasn’t ordinary.

As the car set off toward the Chen Family, Chen Kai saw his boss poring over the materials. He took out his phone, muted it, and started scrolling through Tiao Yin videos to check if there were any Chen Family news updates today.

Currently, online tourism interest related to Linhe County centered around the Chen Family.

Today, one video surprised him: ”Take your boyfriend or girlfriend to the Chen Family, and you’ll know if he/she is marriage material.”

This was unexpected—wasn’t the Chen Family devoted to the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable, not the Matchmaker God?

But after watching the video, he was truly stunned—so it could work this way?

A girl saw her boyfriend trip three times consecutively at the Chen Family and concluded it was because he cheated, prompting the idea he was jinxed here due to infidelity.

The clincher was he did cheat, and the girl was the third party.

Chen Kai was astounded—people could really play around like this nowadays?

Seeing the comments section on the video left him even more speechless:

”The Chen Family tourism couple group is now recruiting, with 20% off when you join Qingfeng Tourism!”

”Shenzhou Tourism’s Chen Family tour couple group is welcoming sign-ups...”

”...”

He felt that soon, the Chen Family would witness another surge in tourists.

While others tirelessly promoted tourism, it was unexpected how the Chen Family could attract attention and visitors via such an unusual method.

Before long, they arrived at the Chen Family and met Chen Han again.

”Welcome, leaders,” Chen Han greeted them with a wide smile.

After sitting down, Chu Ping couldn’t help but ask, ”Patriarch Chen, after one night, have you figured out the status of the Stone Stele and the Dust-removal Array? Is it truly possible they have special mystical abilities, like in movies?”

With a smile, Chen Han replied as usual, ”County Chu, those are all baseless talks. One must always believe in science. However, I’ve already pinpointed the position for the stele and chosen the day to erect it—tomorrow afternoon.”

Hearing the mention of believing in science made Chu Ping sigh helplessly, but the news that the Patriarch had found the stele’s position and chosen the erection day made him smile.

He couldn’t really trust that the Patriarch genuinely believed in science as he claimed.

Even so, since the Patriarch emphasized science, he didn’t press further on the topic but instead asked, ”Patriarch Chen, was the Hundred Flowers Palace you mentioned in the video truly something you fabricated?”

”It was,” Chen Han replied with a laugh.

He couldn’t exactly say the game system invented it, and he merely copied it.

Chu Ping then mentioned, ”Chen Kai did some research into the historical county records. During the Qing Dynasty, the White Flower Sect visited Linhe County and even came to the Chen Family. Could this be the Hundred Flowers Palace? Given the variations in dialects, pronunciations, and texts at the time, could the Hundred Flowers Palace have been incorrectly recorded as the White Flower Sect?”

”Uh! I don’t think so?” Chen Han hadn’t expected these leaders to be so invested in the Stone Stele that they sought historical traces of the Hundred Flowers Palace in Linhe County’s history.

Moreover, he was certain the White Flower Sect wasn’t the Hundred Flowers Palace; it was probably a cult, possibly a branch like the White Lotus Sect.

Without gaining definite information from Chen Han, Chu Ping and Chen Kai continued to learn about the stele’s status, with Chen Han taking them out of the Chen Family to the stele’s location.

Upon arrival, Chu Ping and Chen Kai were amazed at the sight of the Jade Flower Trees, which had formed something of a forest.

”Are these Jade Flower Trees sponsored by the tourists? There are so many,” Chu Ping said with surprise, observing more Chen Family members planting additional Jade Flower Trees and other kinds of flower plants around the Jade Flower Forest.

This interwoven scene, once the flowers bloom, will certainly be attractive, especially with the highly aesthetic flowers of the Jade Flower Tree.

With these flowers as embellishing interweaves, it would only add beauty, becoming a definite draw.

Unfortunately, the Jade Flower Trees had already passed their blooming period, and it wouldn’t be until next year that they would flower again.
