I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 200: There's Always a Scapegoat! A Sudden Message!
A tender green flower fell into Chen Han's palm. He recognized it at a glance as an elm flower, which would later turn into elm seeds.

Elm trees typically bloom in spring, and their flowering season has long passed.

Therefore, this must be the effect of the Hundred Flowers Sweet Rain Talisman.

I hadn't thought about these three old elm trees before, but then I realized that elm flowers are flowers too.

Looking up, you can see elm flowers growing through the gaps in the dense elm tree branches and leaves. There are quite a few of them, and they are all very fresh and tender.

Elm seeds actually have many uses.

During famine years, it could even be a lifesaver.

This is because it is rich in protein, vitamins, and other nutrients.

Moreover, elm seeds also have medicinal value. They can not only strengthen the spleen and stomach, but also clear heat and promote diuresis, and even have the effects of calming the nerves and aiding sleep.

In the eyes of the older generation, the older the elm tree, the better the elm seeds.

The three old elm trees belonging to the Chen family are ancient trees, and the clan members all believe that they have a very good effect.

This spring, many members of the clan who stayed behind picked a lot of elm seeds from these three elm trees, dried them, or soaked them in alcohol.

When these symptoms occur, people will boil dried elm seeds in water to drink, or drink some elm seed wine.

Now, Chen Han was thinking about these three old elm trees. They were not only ancient trees, but they also benefited from the special spiritual energy they received every day.

Elm seeds grown under such conditions must be far more effective than those grown normally, right?

Thinking it over, he also added the elm flower to his game inventory and checked its status.

[Ancient Elm Tree Flower: These are flowers that grow from an ancient elm tree. Because the ancient elm tree absorbed spiritual energy, it underwent some special changes. When these elm flowers grow into elm seeds, they might have special uses!]

This note also confirmed to Chen Han that his guess was correct.

The spiritual energy from the special spiritual cave can greatly benefit even a fence, so how could these three old elm trees, located around the spiritual cave, remain unaffected by the surging spiritual energy?

It is said that ancient trees have spirits. According to this saying, these three old elm trees, which are constantly bathed in spiritual energy, must receive more benefits than the fence and wild vines.

However, it will take some time for elm flowers to fully develop into elm seeds, and there is currently no way to verify this.

We can only wait!

Thinking about it, he picked up the little white rabbit, sat down, and left.

...

Linhe County.

When Chu Ping arrived at his office early in the morning, his secretary came in and handed him several documents: "County Chief Chu, these are the approval documents for the follow-up support of those bamboo product companies."

He immediately picked up the document and started reading. He hoped that the bamboo product factories that had been brought in through investment promotion could make full use of the bamboo resources in Linhe County.

If it develops well, it will definitely increase tax revenue and create more jobs.

The tourism projects for the old town area have now been finalized, and the renovation is being accelerated. At that time, we can also produce some traditional bamboo products to promote tourism in the old town area.

For a small, impoverished county like Linhe, no opportunity for development can be missed, because development is extremely difficult.

It's all the fault of the mess left by the previous people. They owed so many billions, and the worst part is that they demolished the old buildings to develop modern buildings, destroying the best resources of Linhe County as one of the ancient cities.

They can't even reap the benefits of tourism projects as freely as those ancient cities.

It was only with the help of the Chen family that we were able to decide to develop a small old town area.

Just then, Chen Kai rushed in, still out of breath: "Chu County, something big has happened! Something big has happened again with the Chen family..."

"What's wrong?" Chu Ping stood up instinctively.

If anything happens to the Chen family, it will directly affect the future tourism development of their Linhe County.

"Look at these videos," Chen Kai said, immediately handing over his phone, which contained news about the Chen family that he had saved earlier that morning.

Chu Ping took it and looked at it.

The first video is about the rain in Chen's house last night.

The second video is also about rain in Chen's area.

The difference is that the first video was filmed in Chenshi Village, while the second video was filmed in Shangyuan Village. It rained in Chenshi Village last night, but there wasn't a drop of water in Shangyuan Village.

Chu Ping was puzzled by this: "It's just raining, it's nothing special. It's not uncommon for rain to fall across the street."

Chen Kai immediately said, "Chu County, please continue watching the following video."

Chu Ping clicked on the next video with a puzzled look, and immediately froze for a moment.

The video shows a courtyard wall covered with climbing plants, forming a very beautiful flower wall.

I don't know where this arrangement came from, but I would recommend that the Chen family do the same.

The walls of the Chen family's courtyards look similar to those in the video.

The voice coming from the video stunned him: "It's unbelievable! After staying at the Chen family's place for just one night, all the flowers in the yard are in full bloom..."

Is this the Chen family?
No wonder this courtyard looked so familiar.

He immediately watched the video below and became more and more surprised.

These videos were all filmed from different locations, showing the flower walls in the Chen family's courtyard.

Moreover, all of Chen's courtyards were covered with flower walls, and most importantly, they were all in full bloom. The courtyards were also filled with flowers and plants.

The scene was absolutely stunning.

The key point is that the video claims that all of Chen's flower walls bloomed overnight, and even asserts that these flower walls were planted just yesterday.

This is yet another night of flowers blooming in the Chen family, yet another instance of something mysterious and wondrous.

Chu Ping thought back carefully and realized that when he visited the Chen family before, he didn't seem to have seen these flower walls.

When he went to the Chen family yesterday to test the waters with the head of the Chen family, he did see that some courtyards were planted with flower walls.

Therefore, what is said in these videos is true.

Suddenly, the next video made his eyes widen in disbelief.

The video shows the viburnum grove belonging to the Chen family, where all the viburnum trees are in bloom.

Even the stone tablet of the dust-removing array was photographed.

Yesterday he was thinking that the viburnum grove in the Chen family's area would be very beautiful when it blooms next year, and whether he could make up a story that the blooming of these viburnum trees was related to this stone tablet.

As he was thinking, he suddenly paused.

Could it be related to this stone tablet?
Otherwise, what's the story behind the flower walls of the Chen family, and how do you explain the blooming of the magnolia grove?

The dust-removing array stone tablet was erected yesterday, and today the Chen family's flowers bloomed overnight. How could it be that nothing happened?

After realizing what had happened, he subconsciously asked Chen Kai, "Have we been fooled again by Patriarch Chen's belief in science?"

Chen Kai nodded subconsciously.

Previously, they had been asking the Chen family head if the stone tablet had any special effects, but the Chen family head kept saying that he believed in science.

After seeing that the stone tablets had been erected and no special effects had occurred, they came to believe that this time they truly believed in science.

It's a case of their expectations being dashed.

Only one night has passed, and the Chen family has already pulled this stunt, leaving them terrified. They don't believe the Chen family head wouldn't know this.

Even if the other party knows, they will only tell them, "Trust science!"

They believe in science, but...

Hey!
Chu Ping sighed in the end. Even though he knew it in his heart, he still had to know his place.

He immediately instructed Chen Kai: "You need to closely monitor the tourist situation at Chen's place. It seems that Chen's place is about to experience another peak."

Chen Kai immediately replied, "That's true. I had someone monitor it this morning, and the ticket sales speed at Chen's is faster than usual. I've already had someone contact Chen's and suggest they increase the number of tickets sold each day."

"With that extra grove of magnolia trees and sea of ​​flowers, we can easily sell 300 more tickets a day, or even 500 if we push it to the limit."

Chu Ping sighed again upon hearing this.

It's not that Chen's can't attract more tourists now, it's just that there are too few projects on Chen's side, and the capacity to accommodate them is limited.

Once the old town area in the county is completed and opened to the public, it would be possible to offer a combined ticket with the Chen family's residence. This would allow tourists to visit the old town area first and then go to the Chen family's residence, or vice versa.

This could attract another 1000 tourists to the Chen family, making extreme precautions not impossible.

Naturally, initially, the Old Town area didn't consider making money from the combined tickets; instead, they wanted to give them away for free, leveraging the traffic attracted by the Chen family to gain recognition for the Old Town area.

If the old town area can't retain tourists and gets criticized and receives bad reviews, then their county is just too incompetent; they might as well find a block of tofu and kill themselves.

Therefore, in order to prevent this situation from happening, the county has also set up a special supervision team, led by the culture and tourism department.

We must do a good job of developing this small ancient town.

"Let's go check out the Chen family's business." Chu Ping decided to visit the Chen family's business in person to see the actual situation.

I'll also test the Chen family head a bit more, even if I know he'll only get the answer 'believe in science'.

"Okay." Chen Kai nodded. After the two left the office, they had a car prepared and headed to Chen's Corporation.

When they arrived at the Chen family's residence, they could see the magnolia trees and the snow-covered landscape of magnolia blossoms from afar as they got out of the car in the parking lot.

There were already many tourists there filming videos, clearly attracted by the blooming viburnum trees.

Chu Ping and Chen Kai walked over there, and when they got closer, they felt the enthusiasm of the tourists. Everyone was taking pictures of the viburnum forest with their mobile phones.

But looking at the Qionghai forest full of flowers, it's understandable; it's so beautiful that it immediately catches the eye.

It is obvious that these magnolia blossoms are more beautiful than normal ones.

After witnessing the beautiful sight of the magnolia tree, the two subconsciously glanced at the stone tablet. Then, Chu Ping couldn't wait to make a phone call to the head of the Chen family.

After Chen Han finished adding water to the medicinal food, he was soaking the bones of the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Beast in the yard to make bone wine when he received a phone call. Seeing that it was from this leader, he told the other party his location.

Chu Ping and Chen Kai naturally knew where Chen Han's courtyard was. After hanging up the phone, they went directly to the Chen family compound and met the Chen family head, who was fiddling with a few bones.

"Patriarch Chen, are you making medicinal wine?" Chu Ping asked curiously, "I wonder what ailments this medicinal wine can treat?"

Chen Han stood up and invited the two to sit down: "Lord Chu is joking. Our Chen family doesn't know any medicine, so how would we know how to make medicinal wine to treat illnesses? This is just simple bone wine, something we made for fun."

Chu Ping and Chen Kai looked at each other.

Just playing around?
They didn't believe a single word of it.

It's not like we don't know how good the Chen family's medicine is. That old Mr. Wang donated money to help the Chen family build roads after his eyes were cured. That Chairman Liu donated a mountain to the Chen family as a meritorious asset after his rheumatism and paralysis were cured. Now he's even investing in helping the Chen family develop the rapeseed flower industry.

However, they also understood that Chen did not have a medical license and was easily criticized, so Chen simply did not admit that he could cure diseases.

Thinking about it, Chu Ping suddenly remembered the 10,000 mu of rapeseed fields.

Those 10,000 mu of land were contracted out long ago.

That Chairman Liu is willing to spend money; many of those plots have already been developed and are just waiting for the rapeseed seeds to be planted.

Previously, the Chen family head had asked to plant 10,000 mu of rapeseed flowers because a demon-quelling deity appeared to him in a dream. They all thought that the rapeseed planting season had already passed and that planting now would be a thankless task.

Now, seeing the flowers that bloomed overnight at the Chen family's place, they are no longer sure.

Chu Ping didn't forget the main matter and took the opportunity to probe again: "Patriarch Chen, did the flowers in the Chen family bloom overnight because of that stone tablet? Did you overlook it before?"

The question came out of nowhere, but Chen Han was prepared. He smiled and handed over a video: "Chu County, that's just an ordinary stone tablet. You have to believe in science. Didn't those professors of horticulture explain it before (Chapter 126)?"

Even though Chu Ping had guessed that the Chen family head would still say he believed in science, his cheeks still twitched slightly when he saw the video the Chen family head handed him.

Why is it still this 'Professor Liu, the research expert'?
Previously, when the Chen family's offering of flowers bloomed overnight, this guy came out to explain the science behind it. Now he's back again, and the key point is that the explanations he gives in this video are exactly the same as before, just with a different name.

"...I said before that was the reason. The fact that the Chen family's flowers bloomed again overnight shows that the Chen family has mastered this technology. In fact, I have also cracked this technology, but it is just that it costs money and cannot be promoted on a large scale for the time being. I guess the Chen family must have received investment from a big shot to be able to make such a big fuss."

"..." Chu Ping was speechless.

What does this professor know? He just spouts nonsense, but the key is that he does it with such conviction, and many people agree with him.

"It seems that the Chen family does indeed have a big shot, that Chairman Liu, many people have seen him."

"I heard that the road to the Chen family's house was also built with donations from a big shot."

"..."

What Chu Ping found most disheartening was seeing Chen Jiazhu's comment in the video again: "Professor Liu is right, everyone should believe in science!"

Hey!
This guy keeps talking about believing in science, and the thing is, he always leaves them speechless.

If it weren't for their identities, they would really like to have a serious talk with the other party!

At this point, his words were cut off, and he could no longer continue the conversation. However, he was now almost certain that all of this was definitely related to the stone tablet.

The head of the Chen family was fully aware of the situation, but he refused to admit it.

After chatting for a while, Chu Ping took his leave and led Chen Kai towards the Chen family's residence.

"I think the Chen family head is hiding something." After speaking with the Chen family, Chen Kaichu said, "What Professor Liu said is too far-fetched. The Chen family head is deliberately getting involved like this, clearly trying to cover it up. It's just that most netizens lack the ability to discern and have been misled."

Chu Ping smiled and said, "Do you think Professor Liu is the only one? What about Professor Wu and Professor Zuo? Who knows what other professors might come along?"

Chen Kai nodded, and as he got into the car, he suddenly asked in confusion, "Chu County, do you feel that the air in Chen County seems particularly fresh today?"

“It’s very refreshing!” Chu Ping nodded and said, “Perhaps it’s because it rained last night.”

“It shouldn’t be like this, even though it rained last night.” Chen Kai said with some doubt, “It rained before when I came to Chen’s, and it didn’t rain like this.”

After hearing this, Chu Ping also felt that the air quality in Chenshi was excellent today, so he instructed, "When we get back, we can have someone come and test the air quality in Chenshi. The air quality is superb, which is also an advantage for tourism."

"Okay!" Chen Kai nodded in agreement.

In the Chen family courtyard, after the two left, Chen Han continued to shake the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Rat Bone Wine. After sealing the wine and storing it in the game warehouse, he went up to the room and checked the air quality monitoring device.

The AQI value has now become 21.

Thanks to the dust removal system, the air quality in Chen's area has improved again, and it's almost at the level of a natural oxygen bar.

It remains to be seen to what extent this dust removal array will ultimately improve the air quality at the Chen family's residence.

As he was thinking, he suddenly looked at the message on his phone in surprise. His account had suddenly received 1 million yuan, and there was a note that it was a donation from a company called 'Weikai Group'.

He picked up his phone in surprise and checked. This 'Weikai Group' was one of the top 100 companies in China. He could roughly guess what the money was all about.

Sure enough, a game system notification appeared a moment later.
