I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 128 Is this what you mean by believing in science?
Chen Han took the video and saw that it was posted by a PhD in floristry with many followers, and it was related to his Chen family's flower sea:
"I just finished studying the data on the new rose variety today, and I saw many fans tagging me, asking me to talk about the Chen Family Flower Sea blooming overnight."

"I watched the video, and there was a comparison of the flower fields from the two days before and after. It was very clear, very distinct, and very magical. As for whether it was because of the blessing from the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable, that's probably impossible."

"After all, in a modern scientific society, we must believe in science, and I think it's not impossible to understand things using scientific methods."

"First of all, there are many ways to make flowers bloom overnight, especially for peonies, roses, lilies, peonies, and so on that already have buds."

"The first choice is to regulate the temperature, and then there is physical stimulation, etc. More direct stimulation is to use hormones, such as GA3, ethylene oxide, and DJHF hormones, etc. After these hormones are used, the flowers and plants will wither soon."

"Of course, it could also be some kind of secret method passed down from ancient times. After all, this kind of thing is not an isolated case. There are many records of it throughout history. For example, when Wu Zetian ascended the throne, she issued an edict that all the flowers and plants in the city must bloom. Then the officials below dared not disobey and used a special method to make all the flowers and plants in the city bloom overnight."

"There are other records of this kind, such as those of Emperor Hui of Han. But no matter what it is, if you want that sea of ​​flowers to bloom overnight, you must have a very good and precise grasp of the timing. Moreover, it requires a lot of effort and manpower. It is not something that can be done easily."

"Although the blessing from the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable is nonsense, one has to admire the Chen family in this respect. At least their move added a magical touch to the overnight blooming of the flower sea."

"As for the flowers in the video being so vibrant, it's probably because of filters or different varieties. As for the fragrance, there are all sorts of perfumes available now. Just like that Chen family head often says, we should believe in science. Why don't you believe it?"

This video by the florist has gained a lot of approval. After all, compared to the story of the Demon-Subduing Celestial Lord bestowing blessings and making flowers bloom overnight, this video is more logical, well-founded, and supported by historical evidence.

After the video finished playing, Chen Kai said, "This guy is talking nonsense. He's never even been here before, what does he know?"

Chen Han smiled and said, "Director Chen, isn't what the doctor said quite right?"

As he spoke, he even gave the other person a thumbs up.

"What's wrong with that?" Chen Kai said subconsciously, "He added filters without even looking at them. And how could he add filters to our eyes?"

March chimed in, "Yes, can't we tell if the fragrance is artificial? Besides, we all personally experienced the heavenly rain yesterday."

Chen Han shook his head and said, "Section Chief Ma, I've already said that it was just an uncooperative rain from the heavens. Section Chief Ma, even someone like me from a Taoist family knows to believe in science, shouldn't you, with your status, believe in science even more?"

“…March.”

"..." Chen Kai.

They looked at the head of the Chen family in front of them, wanting to say something but unable to, feeling very frustrated.

Their identity, status, and stance must be based on a firm belief in scientism. Therefore, their rebuttal of the Chen family head's words would be tantamount to a lack of firm stance, and they simply cannot speak out.

They finally learned what it meant to be speechless.

Having witnessed the scene firsthand, they knew perfectly well that Patriarch Chen was talking nonsense, yet they had no way to refute him.

"Director Chen, let's go take a look at the central area!" Chen Han invited with a smile, and had already started walking forward.

Chen Kai could only sigh and then follow.

The entire sea of ​​flowers is arranged in a Bagua pattern, with the central part being the most densely planted area. Around the pavilion and shrine of the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable, the dense offerings form two intersecting Yin-Yang fish.

And this is also the most beautiful part of the flower sea.

When Chen Han arrived with his men, he saw his junior sister and Xiao Mi filming a video. The two were about to take off with a drone, presumably to use it for aerial photography.

"Senior brother." Xiaoyu greeted him immediately when she saw him arrive, "Xiao Mi and I are filming a promotional video for the flower sea."

Chen Han nodded and said with a smile, "I brought Director Chen and the others over to take a look. They also plan to shoot a video to help us promote the flower sea."

"Director Chen, thank you for your help." Xiaoyu naturally saw the group and didn't forget to introduce them to Xiaomi: "Sister Xiaomi, Director Chen is the leader of the county's culture and tourism department. He has given our Chen's Tourism a lot of help."

"Director Chen, hello." Xiao Mi greeted him politely.

Chen Kai was equally polite to this internet celebrity with over 300 million followers: "Ms. Guanhai, our Linhe County welcomes internet celebrities like you to visit. We also appreciate your contributions. As for the expenses of the traditional Chinese culture activities you led, you can submit a cooperation application, and our county is willing to share part of the cost."

Because of the success of the Chen family's consecration ceremony, he is now very much looking forward to the cooperation with Chen family's traditional Chinese style and intends to give it greater support.

Upon hearing this, Chen Han looked at the two girls and asked, "How much does the traditional Chinese culture event cost? Why didn't you mention it?"

He had never organized or participated in such an event before, and he had overlooked it. The most important part of a traditional Chinese style event is the participation of well-known traditional Chinese style internet celebrities. Even if it's at a friendly price, they will definitely have to pay some money.

There are also props and other things to set up, which will definitely cost a lot of money.

Xiaoyu quickly explained, "Senior brother, Chen's was in dire need of rebuilding before, and there wasn't much money in the account, so we didn't tell you. Sister Xiaomi covered most of it first, and I covered some. Anyway, there will be special tickets and revenue from the traditional Chinese culture event, so we can pay Sister Xiaomi back later."

Chen Han frowned and looked at Xiao Mi: "Aren't you afraid of losing money?"

Xiao Mi said, "If we lose money, there's nothing we can do about it."

Seeing that her senior brother was a little angry, Xiaoyu quickly added, "Senior brother, the main thing is that Xiaomi and I also want to organize a traditional Chinese style event, which would be very rewarding for us traditional Chinese style internet celebrities."

A sense of accomplishment my ass!
Chen Han was speechless. Xiao Mi could only fool his junior sister, who was heartless, big-breasted... not very big, and brainless.

Xiao Mi knew about his cancer, and that was definitely why she spent money to help him fulfill his wish to develop the Chen family business.

He was very confident about this because he had a deep understanding of Xiao Mi.

She is a good girl.

So, he also told Xiao Mi, "We'll finalize the contract later. This time, you're the organizer of the traditional Chinese culture event; the Chen family is just renting the venue to you."

In other words, Xiao Mi rented the venue from the Chen family to hold the traditional Chinese style event, and after deducting costs, all the profits went to Xiao Mi.

Naturally, if the event is successful and generates a lot of buzz, it will greatly benefit Xiao Mi's reputation and the status of traditional Chinese culture.

"Mm." Xiao Mi understood Chen Han's good intentions and did not refuse. Besides, this was good, as she could help him better in the future.

He wouldn't have to suffer from illness while struggling so hard to keep going.

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but sigh, remembering his illness.

Chen Han saw her expression and knew why she was like that. He felt he should find an opportunity to tell her that she was already well.

At least tell her there is hope and that things are getting better.

After thinking about it, he realized that this blessing from the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable was a very good excuse.

Chen Han accompanied Chen Kai and the others to shoot some footage of the flower fields. In the end, the county's cultural and tourism officials realized that their footage didn't seem as good as the two girls'. They decided to just enjoy the results of others' work and asked Xiao Yu to release a promotional video later, with the county helping to promote it.

Xiaoyu readily agreed, saying it was a small matter.

Afterwards, Chen Han accompanied the cultural and tourism group out of Haihua and took another stroll around Chen's. However, something happened when Director Chen was about to leave and Chen Han saw him off at Chen's.

There was trouble at the Immortal Cultivation Market, and a lot of people had gathered around.

There were also sounds of arguing.

Chen Dagou and his men from the Demon Exorcism Hall were already maintaining order.

"Patriarch Chen, shall we go take a look?" Chen Kai said, frowning.

"Hmm!" Chen Han led Director Chen towards the Immortal Cultivation Market.

Chen Dagou greeted him, "Xiao Han."

"Uncle Big Dog, what's going on?" Chen Han asked immediately.

Chen Dagou immediately explained, "Yesterday, many tourists came to our Chen family's consecration ceremony. This morning, people from other villages came to sell things and got into an argument with the village chief and the others."

Upon hearing this, Chen Kai instinctively asked, "Is it the people of Shangyuan Village who are preventing other people from selling here?"

If that's the case, then Shangyuan Village's vision is a bit limited, and they should put away their plans to observe and provide further support.

Chen Dagou immediately explained, "No, it's not that. It's that people from the neighboring village don't follow the rules. They don't sell inside the market, but instead intercept customers at the gate. Because they sell the same things as several people in the village, they deliberately sell them at a lower price to compete maliciously."

“Several uncles in the village were very unhappy and wanted to fight, but the village chief stopped them. When the village chief went to persuade the other party, they were still very arrogant. Even when Uncle Dapao and the others went to persuade them, it was no use.”

These words made Chen Han frown. When a place becomes famous, all sorts of problems inevitably follow. Encountering this kind of situation is truly troublesome.

Chen Kai frowned. This kind of thing was just making Linhe County a laughing stock for tourists. Fortunately, he had applied to his superiors for tourist police. He should urge them to send someone over as soon as possible.

Moreover, once the Chen family prospers and people from other villages come over, we will need to take precautions against such incidents.

Sometimes, one bad apple can spoil the whole bunch.

"Why can't I sell? I can sell as much of my own stuff as I want."

"Dear tourists, look at this. The Chen family wants to make money through dishonest means. I don't want to make money through dishonest means, and I can't even sell at low prices."

The troublemaker suddenly started shouting at the people around him.

[Because of the blessing from the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable, the Chen family's reputation has spread far and wide, attracting more and more rogue cultivators who want to seek refuge with them. However, suddenly, demonic rogue cultivators have appeared, targeting the Chen family and posing as righteous people to smear them everywhere. This has made you feel very bad!]

"..." Chen Han frowned, his mood had indeed become very bad, and his right hand had already touched the demonic ring on his left hand.

But then, a horn suddenly sounded: "Selling things is your freedom, but if the quality of the things you sell is poor and you disrupt market prices, that's your problem."

"Everyone, take a look. We're both selling fruit, but isn't his fruit much worse than what's sold in the market? These peaches, for example, look a bit wilted."

As he spoke, some villagers carried out some peaches behind him to compare with the man.

Just as he said, compared to the peaches, this person's looked somewhat wilted, clearly not freshly picked.

Mingdi continued, "Everyone has bought fruit before, so they should know the price of fruit in fruit shops now. The price of fruit sold in the market is much lower, so we shouldn't be fooled by someone selling defective products."

Tourists aren't fools, and many of those who can afford to come have the financial means to do so. They don't care about the price of fruit; they care more about quality and freshness.

The way he honked his horn during the live stream captivated viewers and encouraged them to tip him; he was adept at understanding people's emotions. The tourists who heard him nodded in agreement.

"The fruit in the market is indeed fresh."

"Yes, they even guaranteed I could pick them myself when I bought them!"

"The quality of what this guy is selling is obviously problematic!"

"..."

The man had intended to incite the tourists to help him, but he didn't expect to be criticized by them in the blink of an eye.

This made him want to leave immediately, but Mingdi stopped him with a smile and said, "You can't leave. When you were arguing with our village chief just now, you pushed two elderly people in the village, and you also pushed three old men from the Chen family who came to mediate. You need to give an explanation for this!"

"What shoving?" the man snapped angrily. "I know, you're trying to stage an accident? With so many tourists watching, aren't you afraid I'll call the police?"

Mingdi smiled and said, "We wouldn't dare to do something illegal like staged accidents. It's just that the old man is getting on in years and needs to go to the hospital for a check-up after being pushed. Don't worry, I've already called the police. We won't try to extort you in front of the police. It's just a check-up. If everything is fine, you can just pay for the check-up."

"By the way, I have many witnesses here, and I believe many tourists can also testify that you did push someone."

As a former market supervisor, Chen Dapao knew a thing or two about things and understood what the horn meant. He said, "Oh dear, I just got a nudge to the chest. I need to check it out before I feel at ease."

The other two old men understood and nodded in agreement.

Two elderly villagers came out after the horn blared; they had been the ones who had tried to talk him down and had made physical contact with him earlier, and they clearly wanted to teach the guy a lesson.

The man was stunned by what he saw. Even a simple check-up at the hospital would cost over a thousand yuan for an elderly person, right?
How much money would these elderly people cost if they were all accounted for?

He had no idea whether the police would agree with the incident, but in the other village, where the other person was so old, no one dared to gamble on whether a shove would cause any harm.

And finally…

He immediately regretted it. Why did he have to resort to such a petty trick? Without hesitation, he turned around and tried to run away. He didn't even want the fruit anymore, since how much could that fruit possibly sell for?
Chen Dagou had been watching him closely, so he wasn't going to give him a chance. He stopped the man, grabbed his shoulder, and said, "The police are coming soon, why are you running?"

thump!
The man immediately knelt down, his face contorted with grief: "I was wrong, I shouldn't have been so blinded by greed, please forgive me!"

With a loud slap, he slapped himself, genuinely terrified and crying.

Seeing this, Chen Han had to admit that a demonic person is indeed a demonic person; their methods are truly despicable.

Would you call this using evil to subdue evil?

The sudden appearance of the infiltrated demonic cultivator surprised you, and what's more, this demonic cultivator attacked the rogue demonic cultivator without hesitation and eliminated him.

The scene of demons killing each other also puzzled you, but seeing the recognition of this demonic person by the rogue cultivators who were attached to the Chen family, you seemed to understand the other party's purpose.

This was a ruse, sacrificing the rogue cultivators of the demonic path to enhance his own reputation among them. Even the elders of the Chen family who guarded the cultivation market trusted him.

This demonic cultivator was clearly very cunning, but he was unaware that he had already been exposed.

After receiving this hint and looking at the scene of Chen Dapao and the village chief standing behind the demonic cultivator, Chen Han had a more intuitive understanding of the demonic cultivator's purpose.

"This Mr. Lin is quite witty," Chen Kai couldn't help but say admiringly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Han felt even more certain that the game's plot hints were accurate.

It seems this is the purpose of the demonic cultivators sacrificing their comrades.

Chen Dapao saw him arrive at this moment and stepped forward to ask, "Patriarch, what do you think of this?"

"The police are here. Hand the person over to the police, and let the rest go." Chen Han looked at the guy who slapped him. The other guy obviously didn't have much money either. With so many tourists, if the video is posted online, some saintly people might come out and criticize them for not knowing how to be forgiving.

After all, these saints always find a tricky way to show their saintly heart.

Some self-righteous people are even more indifferent to others' suffering; they only care about being a saint and don't even understand the principle that one should not advise others to be good without having experienced their suffering.

If it's not necessary, Chen won't get involved in these things. Anyway, he has the Demonic Ring, so the punishment will be more direct.

A moment later, sirens blared, and two officers got out of their car. Seeing the crowd gathered, they rushed forward to ask, "Who called the police? What happened?"

Just as the horn was about to sound, the troublemaker immediately shouted, "Police! I confess! I confess! I stole fruit from an old man in the village to sell. I'm a thief! Take me away!"

This scene even made the horn pause for a moment.

Upon hearing this, the two police officers did not hesitate and quickly presented the silver bracelet.

Seeing this, Chen Han activated the Hemorrhoid Generation skill of the Demonic Energy Ring. A barely perceptible wisp of demonic energy quickly flew out and entered the person's body.

As the police officer led him away, he suddenly exclaimed, "Ouch, my butt!"

He instantly squeezed his legs together; the sharp pain from that moment felt like a needle piercing his tender flesh, bringing tears to his eyes.

Everyone stopped.

"What are you doing? Hurry up and go." An uncle frowned and urged.

The man dared not refuse and immediately took a step forward. Then he gasped and cried out, "It hurts! I can't walk anymore! Call an ambulance for me!"

This scene stunned everyone; the setting seemed somewhat familiar.

"That guy from yesterday, doesn't he look a lot like him?"

"Yes, that man was rude, and now this guy is causing trouble, and then..."

"Damn it... I didn't mean it, please don't blame me..."

"..."

For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat quiet, and many people looked towards the Chen family's house.

Chen Kai and Ma Qi both subconsciously looked at Chen Han, their eyes filled with questioning: Patriarch Chen, is this what you mean by believing in science?
