I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 197 Have you read Under One Person? Another huge hit!
Seeing that nothing unusual happened after the stone tablet was erected, Chu Ping and Chen Kai stopped paying attention to it, said goodbye to the Chen family head, and returned to the county.

Their location means they have a lot going on every day.

After getting into the car, Chu Ping asked, "Director Chen, how's the traditional Chinese culture event we're organizing in our county going?"

Chen Kai immediately explained: "That area has already been planned, and the residents are very cooperative with the renovation. Everyone knows that the Chen family and Shangyuan Village are now benefiting, and they are even more proactive in the renovation than we are."

“None of them are fools.” Chu Ping nodded with a smile.

Now, many people in Linhe County know how much benefit the Chen family and Shangyuan Village have received after developing ancient architecture tourism.

In particular, some members of the Chen family have already posted their salary statistics on social media and online. The Chen family members rely on Chen Tourism for their livelihood. With salary, bonuses, and full attendance bonuses, a family of three can earn more than 23000 yuan.

This doesn't even include the extra housing costs each month; if two elderly people work together, it's even more.

Earning so much money from home without having to travel far is everyone's dream, right?

Just think about how much the average salary is in Linhe County now.

Last year, the average salary was 3800, and the per capita disposable income was 3100.

Therefore, it's clear how terrifying Chen's income is.

Who wouldn't yearn for that?

When these people heard that the county was going to renovate the old tourist town and cooperate with the Chen family, they became very excited. They didn't even encounter the holdouts or troublesome households they had imagined.

Not at all, I heard they were shut down.

This has nothing to do with their county.

In an old town, there are always shrewd people, especially those who run hotels, inns, or even KTVs, foot massage parlors, etc. Some of them are even shady.

Chen Kai continued, "In addition, there's the matter of the traditional Chinese culture event in our county. I've already sent someone to contact Guan Hai. This time, the traditional Chinese culture event organized by the Chen family was actually hosted by her, and she was in charge of it."

“She has experience in this area. Let’s see how things go first, and then we’ll invite the Chen family head and his sister to participate.”

Chu Ping nodded.

It's difficult for a small county like Linhe to find a direction for development, since many counties in Qingmin City have the same things, so there's no standout feature.

Now that we've seized the opportunity of tourism projects, we should make the most of it. As long as Linhe County gains exposure and becomes known to people, we can also promote other aspects through tourism.

For example, Linhe County has many bamboo forests. Due to the exposure of Chen's case, Linhe County has also received a lot of exposure recently. They took the opportunity to hold a bamboo products seminar and invited bamboo product companies to come to Linhe County for inspection.

Originally, such things might not have been successful, and even if they were, they might not have been useful, and could have become mere formalism. However, because Linhe County has recently gained exposure and fame, this bamboo products seminar has been quite successful and has yielded excellent results, with several companies invited to set up factories.

In fact, sometimes developing a county and developing a company are the same thing. In addition to having products and resources, you also need to have a reputation so that others know about you.

It's a pity that the stone tablet and dust-removing array, which we had been looking forward to for so long, had no effect this time.

No wonder the Chen family head repeatedly said he believed in science.

It turns out it really is scientific.

They even mistakenly believed that the Chen family head was covering up something.

...

After erecting the monument, Chen Han led his clansmen back to the Great Hall of the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Venerable.

My aunt said, "We've prepared a ceremonial meal for tonight. Everyone is welcome to come. If you don't have anything else to do, please go back to work."

The clansmen held this old man in high esteem, not only because he was an elder, but also because everyone believed that the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable had blessed the Chen family, and this old man had served the Heavenly Venerable's temple for over 40 years.

Chen Dagou and his group nodded respectfully and left, planning to return for the vegetarian meal at the ceremony hall later that evening.

This is a meal prepared after Taoist rituals, which is said to bring blessings and good fortune.

After returning to his courtyard, Chen Han changed out of his Taoist robe. Then, thinking about the dust-removing array stone tablet, he made a phone call to Chen Xiaoyan.

Chen Xiaoyan is inspecting several disposable items. She is currently handling personnel and logistics matters on a temporary basis.

Upon receiving the call from the head of the family, she answered immediately: "Master, what are your orders?"

"Buy me an air quality testing instrument," Chen Han instructed. The air quality testing instrument was naturally used to test the air quality.

Moreover, air quality is also graded. In a rural area like Chenshi, the AQI value is usually around 20-40.

This is also the average value for most rural areas with abundant forest land.

This air quality value is within the excellent range.

However, with over 1000 tourists visiting Chenshi Street daily, along with the influence of passing cars and active crowds, the AQI value has risen to over 30, making it difficult to drop below 20.

This is the impact of large-scale population movement.

The dust removal array stone tablets have now been set up. The +1 air freshness attribute requires a gradual improvement of the air quality in the sect's residence; it won't be noticeable in a short time.

Therefore, having an air quality monitoring device is very useful, as you can check the situation through the readings.

While this doesn't fully reflect the air freshness, it provides a comparison to observe any changes.

"Yes, Master." Chen Xiaoyan replied directly without asking any further questions. After hanging up the phone, she said to the girl next to her who was checking the forms, "Chen Wen, go to the county and buy one...two air quality monitoring devices."

The head of the household must have a purpose in buying this. She thought it would be good to have one in the office, just in case.

“Okay, Sister Xiaoyan!” Chen Wen replied immediately.

She had just graduated from a liberal arts college. Although it was a second-tier university, it's not easy to find a job with a second-tier degree in today's society. So, she was smart enough to go back to her family home to apply for a job right after graduation.

With a base salary of at least 5000 per month in the family, plus full attendance bonuses, one can earn 6500 per month.

This is already a common salary for office workers in first-tier cities.

In Chen's own home, there are no expenses such as rent, utilities, or social expenses.

Even a salary of 10,000 yuan in a first-tier city can't compare to this 6500.

At least she knew that her brother was in Hangzhou, earning 1.5 yuan a month, barely making ends meet, and having to ask his family for subsidies to maintain a respectable social life.

...

Chen Han hung up the phone after giving instructions to Chen Xiaoyan, when he heard barking. Youcai, the dog, ran in from outside, and as soon as it came in, you could see the white light floating on its back.

Today it's Thunder Bamboo Spirit Rat meat again. This piece of meat comes with several bones, enough to make another small jar of bone wine. There are already quite a few Thunder Bamboo Spirit Rat bone wines stored in his warehouse.

This substance, when taken long-term, has the attribute of strengthening leg muscles by +2, which is related to the plan to train the clan members to participate in sports.

Firstly, the Chen family is famous for its martial arts. They can send someone to fight in a boxing match. With strengthened leg muscles, the base of the body becomes more stable, which is an absolute advantage. Furthermore, with powerful leg strength, they might even be able to knock someone out with a single kick.

He subconsciously thought of Chen Dalong. This guy, like his father Uncle Big Dog, was a naturally large and robust type of fighter. In ancient times, as long as one was strong enough, he would have been a vanguard general.

Even when the Chen family gathered able-bodied men from the surrounding villages to resist bandits, they were still able to charge ahead and intimidate people. However, this Thunder Bamboo Spirit Rat Bone Wine takes at least a month to ferment, and it hasn't taken effect yet.

After squatting down to collect the monster meat from Youcai's back, Chen Han also helped Gouzi take off its armor and gave it a cold shower with a hose.

Just then, he received a message on his phone, which was from the person who honked the horn: "Bro, my cousin is coming to stay with me. I'll be filming a video with him later. Are you home right now?"

"Yes, I am," Chen Han replied.

He knew what this demonic cultivator was thinking. Just like Zhu Xueqin before, he brought her along to pay homage to the powerful. After all, the other party was trying to ride on the coattails of the Chen family, so this was a kind of courtesy.

Some people who try to ride the wave of popularity don't care about this or that. Even if you are the original owner, you can stay out of the way. So what if they try to ride your wave?

Moreover, the demonic sorcerer Mingdi did indeed bring a lot of attention to the Chen family, so it can be considered a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Most importantly, both the horn and the enchanting vixen he brought dropped items.

Now the other side has obviously brought another demonic cultivator. Does this mean they're going to drop something again?

Based on past experience, there has never been a time when it didn't explode.

Suddenly I'm starting to look forward to it.

So he replied to the horn message, asking the other party to bring people over.

After receiving a response to the horn, he took his cousin into the Chen family compound, reminding him, "Cousin, be respectful to the Chen family head when you meet him. His attitude already indicates that he has agreed to let you film a video with me."

"After all, whether it was filming videos or my investment in Shangyuan Village, I benefited from the other party's success. They are like our benefactor."

"Yes!" Xu Bin understood this principle.

He had seen his cousin livestreaming back in his hometown, especially when he was selling peaches. The commission he could earn in one night was probably equivalent to many people's monthly salary.

This rapid pace of wealth accumulation is largely thanks to those people, so it's only right to show them some respect.

Mingdi quickly led his cousin to the Chen family head's courtyard, where they met the person in question.

"Have a seat, I just brewed a pot of tea." Chen Han greeted the two men with a warm smile as they entered, because the game system had indeed given a notification when they appeared:

[A demonic sorcerer suddenly appeared, and it turned out to be someone from the Yinshan Sect again. Moreover, this time the opponent made no attempt to conceal his appearance. He was the same sorcerer who was defeated by the Xuanshuang Lion-Headed Goose that you controlled and who escaped using the Cloud Barrier Cauldron.]

This time, the other side even brought a branch leader of the Yinshan Sect to challenge the Chen family, seemingly trying to redeem the Yinshan Sect from the humiliation of being repeatedly defeated by the Chen family.

Defeat the Yinshan Sect branch leader who has come to provoke us!

Chen Han really wanted to call this whistle-blowing person a treasure trove of a demon. Look, all the missions involving demonic cultivators, whether from the Hehuan Sect or the Yinshan Sect, were betrayed by this person.

The key is that this person can keep bringing in new demonic cultivators for him to exploit.

This reminded him of a very famous figure, Shen Gongbao.

What he was more curious about was what abilities his cousin Mingdi possessed that allowed him to serve as the leader of a branch of the Yinshan Sect in the game's storyline.

In reality, he must be more capable than the average person, right?
Mingdi led his cousin to sit down and drank a cup of Leizhu Spirit Tea. The taste alone told him it was a premium Leizhu Spirit Tea.

After drinking a cup of tea, Xu Bin looked surprised. He had seen the controversy surrounding the premium Leizhu Ling Tea online.

This must be the premium Leizhu Ling Tea, right?

Mingdi put down his teacup and introduced, "Master Chen, this is my cousin Xu Bin, a retired soldier. He was a special forces soldier in the army. I made an investment in Shangyuan Village, and he came to join me. He also came with me to film a video."

"Yes, welcome!" Chen Han nodded with a smile and poured the two of them another cup of tea.

It's not surprising that a retired special forces soldier is stronger than an ordinary person, but isn't it a bit much for the game system to bring in a retired special forces soldier to be an elder of the Yinshan Sect?
However, that's not important. What's important is how to complete this task. Defeating the opponent is a very simple concept.

How can we defeat it?

It's impolite to attack directly.

His current reputation for using martial arts to make friends is somewhat inappropriate.

Sneak attack?

Although he had many methods, some of them seemed to be flawed.

Seriously, for a cultivator who has mastered the "Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method" and has already opened up four extraordinary meridians, it's a bit bullying for him to deal with a retired special forces soldier.

"Thank you," Xu Bin quickly replied.

Some things don't need to be said. Patriarch Chen clearly has no objection to his arrival, so a thank you is appropriate.

The horn didn't bother him too much; he knew this person must be very busy, so he informed him shortly afterward.

Xu Bin, however, was eager to try and finally couldn't help but say to Chen Han, "Patriarch Chen, I used to love fighting when I was in the army, and I still practice even after I retired. I wonder if I could learn some of the Chen family's kung fu from you?"

The horn sounded so loudly that its jaw dropped in astonishment.

No, cousin, where did you get the courage?

Did they eat the gall of a bear and the heart of a leopard before coming to Shangyuan Village?

Chen Han's eyes lit up upon hearing this. This person had come to him of their own accord, so he stood up with a smile and said, "Mr. Xu, please enlighten me!"

"???" Xu Bin had no idea what was going on. The next moment, he found that the Chen family head was already standing in front of him.

Before he could even react, he found himself struck by a terrifying force, and he was sent flying backward.

By the time he realized what was happening, he was already sitting on the ground outside the yard.

He was dumbfounded.

What just happened?
He listened and then asked for guidance, and then...

Mingdi was stunned. He couldn't react in time. His cousin was thrown out of the yard like a child. He knew that his cousin was a special forces soldier who had trained in combat.

Although I knew the Chen family head was definitely powerful, I didn't expect him to be this powerful.

Xu Bin was pulled up by his cousin in a daze. Thinking of what had just happened, he subconsciously swallowed and hurriedly bowed to the Chen family head inside, saying, "Thank you for your mercy, Chen family head."

He knew very well that if the Chen family head hadn't shown any mercy in that situation, he wouldn't have been able to stand up unharmed.

"It's alright, welcome Mr. Xu." Chen Han looked at Xu Bin with a big smile, in a great mood, because three white lights were floating in the location where Xu Bin was.

This is a huge hit.

As expected of a branch leader of the demonic sect, this is practically a mini-boss.

Mingdi also expressed his gratitude, then pulled his cousin away. After leaving the Chen family compound, he couldn't help but ask Xu Bin, "Cousin, have you ever watched Under One Person? You're really something!"

"???" Xu Bin was stunned.

What do you mean?
