I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 218 Sounding the horn to admit defeat is too hasty! Patriarch Chen's response is far too perfunctory!
As Chen Han looked at the game screen, images from movies and TV shows began to flash through his mind.

When the God of Love (Yue Lao) connects lovers, a red thread will appear on their wrists, signifying that they are a couple.

The game now suggests that if a couple in love sincerely worships the Moon Goddess statue together during the consecration ceremony, a red thread will appear connecting their wrists.

He had previously thought that the blessing from his Moon God would be similar to the blessing from the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable, which would bring forth sweet rain from the heavens. He never expected it to be such a miraculous situation.

Although not as spectacular as the Heavenly Dew of the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable, it was still incredibly awe-inspiring for both parties who could activate the red thread.

Chen Han never expected that trying out the Moon Husband Cane and the Red Thread Ball would yield such an unexpected result. Since the Moon Husband was very satisfied with both the cane and the red thread ball, there was no need to make any more.

He left the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Venerable's main hall and went back to his uncle's kitchen, where he found his junior sister working at the spirit fire stove and spirit pressure cauldron, refining body-tempering pills.

After controlling the flame of the liquefied gas stove, she asked her senior brother, "Senior brother, have you seen Sister Xiaomi? I can't get through to her on the phone."

Chen Han naturally knew that Xiao Mi was in his room, probably still recovering her strength. After all, she had to be tormented and memorize the martial arts techniques. Fortunately, she was a top student with an excellent memory.

But since his junior sister asked him that, he could only tell the truth: "Her phone must have run out of battery. She's a perfectly healthy person, so there's nothing to worry about."

"Yes!" Xiaoyu nodded, not doubting her senior brother's words. Instead, she said, "Senior brother, I've recently refined a lot of Body Tempering Pills for the people in the Demon Control Hall to take and train with Uncle Big Dog. The results are excellent."

"The people in the Demon Extermination Hall are definitely stronger than ordinary people now, especially Da Long, who inherited Uncle Da Gou's physical abilities. No one in the Demon Extermination Hall can beat him now."

"Well done!" Chen Han praised, making his junior sister's lips curl into a smile again.

He wasn't surprised by what his junior sister said. Although ordinary body-strengthening pills had limited effects, they were definitely not comparable to the medicinal herbs used to aid in training.

With long-term use and combined with martial arts training, it will definitely have a strong effect.

As for Chen Dalong's physical abilities, this prodigy of the family, he never doubted them, which is why he planned to train him to participate in martial arts competitions later.

At noon, Chen Han served the medicinal meal, and Xiao Mi arrived late, her steps still a little unsteady.

Upon seeing this, Xiaoyu quickly asked, "Xiaomi, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Hmm, I feel a little dizzy, I guess I caught a cold." Xiao Mi made up an excuse on the spot, and gave Chen Han a resentful look as she sat down.

It really took a lot of effort; her legs are still weak.

After eating the medicinal food, everyone at the table took out their phones and started watching videos on Douyin (TikTok).

Everyone's playing Douyin now, and they often shoot videos and upload them to their Douyin accounts.

Even the three Chen family masters, Chen Lin, Chen Dagou, and Chen Shuisheng, have hundreds of thousands of fans.

Chen Lin said with envy, "That guy Mingdi has also surpassed 500 million followers. He's really lucky. People online are saying he wiped out a demonic sect."

Chen Dagou said, "This person is lucky, so this wave of fans seems to have fallen from the sky."

Chen Han also saw the video of the horn being sounded. The hype surrounding it would likely last for another day, and once the Liangmei Group case was decided, it would generate even more buzz for the horn.

Moreover, this time, the persona of honking the horn has been successfully established.

A demonic cultivator, in order to save his brothers, the Dog Demon King, has disregarded his own demonic identity. As long as it can save his brothers, he will not hesitate to betray even his fellow demons.

No one could stop him from saving the dog demon king brothers.

Although this character design is from an abstract video, it's useful as long as it works.

If a fantasy drama were to be made, a supporting character like Mingdi would be very eye-catching.

Xiaoyu then complained, "Senior brother, the hype surrounding the horn is too high. My promotional video for the matchmaking ceremony has been suppressed and isn't getting much attention. The promotional effect is not good."

"Just have Mingdi film a promotional video for us." Chen Han smiled, took out his phone, and sent a message to Mingdi, explaining the matter.

The horn is currently trending, so if he releases a related video, it can quickly translate into attention for the consecration ceremony of the Moon Goddess statue.

"Okay, bro!" Mingdi replied immediately, answering the question directly and decisively.

Chen Han read Mingdi's reply and was about to put down his phone when Douyin suddenly received a bewildering system message.

This is actually information about short dramas. It means that Douyin is going to start making short dramas and wants to leverage its influencer resources to invite some distinctive influencers to perform.

Interested influencers can click the link to apply to join the program if they see this system information.

Chen Han was speechless. He had heard that Dou Yin had failed miserably in the short drama, as if her luck had run out and her development had reached its limit, and she was naturally suppressed by the Heavenly Dao.

Just like when Tencent wanted to enter the short video platform, it targeted Douyin in various ways, even fought two major battles, but still couldn't do anything about it, and Douyin's video was a complete mess.

Douyin is now facing the same situation as Tencent was facing in short videos.

Is Douyin making another blunder?

Although short dramas don't have very strict requirements for actors, don't they know what kind of people and what kind of acting skills these internet celebrities have?

Many short dramas are already bad enough; let's stop making things worse.

Moreover, what kind of filming would he be allowed to do?
A domineering CEO falls in love with a woman who is menopausal, and a super-rich man falls in love with a woman suffering from gynecological diseases.

The short dramas these days are like farts—long, smelly, and illogical. They're about people who travel back in time to become emperors and pull out high-tech gadgets, or they're about to engage in business negotiations like child's play, talking about billions of dollars at the drop of a hat, or war gods who love to play mysterious roles and suddenly reveal their identities and everyone kneels down…

It's disgusting to even think about.

Ignoring the message from the system, I firmly put my phone down.

On the other side, Mingdi was having dinner with his cousin Xu Bin and the enchanting enchantress Zhu Xueqin when he received the message.

Xu Bin was very happy looking at the data on his phone.

The video of him honking his horn went viral, and the other party even edited a video specifically for him, showing him dealing with the two men.

His Douyin account is naturally: Whistling Guardian (Xu).

The video, which attracted viewers with its horn-driven promotion, garnered a lot of data, including many likes and comments praising his abilities.

"Protector Xu is awesome. The demonic path has finally produced a master."

"Protector Xu, Mingdi is trash. Get rid of him and take his place!"

"Protector Xu's every move is amazing!"

"..."

Xu Bin almost got lost in the chorus of praise until he saw a comment that instantly brought him to his senses.

"Protector Xu, I think you have the ability to challenge Patriarch Chen!" He was so frightened that he hurriedly replied to the comment: "No, no, no, I didn't!"

The terrifying scene of being thrown out of the courtyard by the Chen family head before I could even react was still vivid in my mind!
Mingdi had no idea that her cousin had almost scared the crap out of him. After replying to the Chen family head, she hurriedly pulled her cousin Xu Bin and Zhu Xueqin to get their makeup done.

It's rare for the Chen family head to give him a task, so he definitely has to do it perfectly.

"Cousin, what's the matter that's so urgent?" Xu Bin asked instinctively.

Zhu Xueqin also looked puzzled: "Although I don't eat much, at least let me eat something decent, right?"

Mingdi explained, "The Chen family head asked us to help film a promotional video."

Now, Xu Bin and Zhu Xueqin had no objections.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Xu Bin.

“That’s right.” Zhu Xueqin.

Both of them knew that Mingdi's popularity was due to the Chen family head. Although Mingdi's popularity was very high this time, and he even surpassed 500 million fans.

If the head of the Chen family were to truly disappear, these fans would probably stop paying attention to him.

The two knew they would have to rely on honking their horns, and they needed to clearly distinguish between the two kings. The head of the Chen family had almost never given any instructions before, but this time he had, and they were determined to do it perfectly.

Upon arriving at the dedicated dressing room, Mingdi instructed one of the makeup artists he had hired: "Give us all smoky eye makeup. You can add some artistic touches, make us look a bit like demonic sorcerers."

"Boss, don't worry, leave it to me." The makeup artist gave an OK sign and then began to do the makeup on the three of them.

Before long, the smoky eye makeup of the three whistles was finished, and it was quite distinctive.

After finishing their makeup, the three of them went back to change their clothes.

Mingdi specially bought a set of Hanfu (traditional Han clothing) that matched the style of the Demon Path for himself and the other two. After the three of them changed into the Hanfu, they went straight to the back mountain.

At the same time, Mingdi also told the two of them some impromptu lines.

Before sounding the horn, we found a small hill on the back mountain that formed a platform-like place, overlooking Shangyuan Village. It was also a good spot for photographing the Chen family.

Upon arriving, Mingdi set up his camera phone, had his assistant act as the photographer, and then the three of them walked to the most conspicuous spot on the earthen slope, with the Chen family's house naturally in the background.

With the whistle blowing in the middle, and Zhu Xueqin and Xu Bin standing on either side, looking at Chen Shi, they really did resemble three demonic cultivators secretly spying on Chen Shi.

He turned around, honked the horn, and said to the camera, "After betraying so many of my comrades several times in a row, Patriarch Chen should trust me completely now. Perhaps it's time to find a time to take action and rescue the Dog Demon King brothers."

Zhu Xueqin immediately reported: "Lord Mingdi, we have received news that the Chen family seems to be planning another consecration ceremony for the statue of the Moon God. It seems that the Moon God will descend to bestow blessings, after all, he is a celestial being."

"Do you still remember the might of the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable? You were so scared by just one aura from him that you ran away three thousand miles with your pants down."

Mingdi, somewhat embarrassed by this, said, "That's called a tactical retreat."

At this moment, Xu Bin suddenly asked, "Last time the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable descended, and this time the Moon Goddess has also descended. Should we continue the rescue plan?"

Mingdi immediately declared righteously, "Nothing can stop my determination to save the Dog Demon King. It's just that their Moon God's consecration ceremony is definitely heavily guarded, so it's not a good time to make a move. We should find another time. I solemnly declare that I'm not worried that the Moon God will descend!"

After filming, Mingdi watched the video and thought the effect was very good. He went back, edited it, uploaded it directly, and tagged Chen Jiazhu.

Because of the Liangmei Group incident, the online buzz surrounding the horn incident is indeed very high, so as soon as his video was released, it immediately attracted a lot of attention.

It's obvious to anyone with eyes that this video is a promotional video for the Chen family's matchmaking ceremony.

However, this video also has many highlights.

Firstly, many people noticed that the demonic power on Mingdi's side had become stronger, especially the newly crowned Protector Xu, who was truly a master.

Secondly, the determination shown by the horn in the video to rescue the dog demon king brothers, and their righteous and resolute admission of weakness in fear of the Moon God's arrival, are truly astonishing.

Is it feasible to flee three thousand miles in fear?
Is a tactical retreat feasible?

Is it not a good time to take action?

However, it must be admitted that such publicity was very effective. Suddenly, a lot of attention was drawn to the Chen family's matchmaking ceremony.

When Chen was promoting the company before, quite a few people had already paid attention to it, and now these people are paying attention to it again.

Moreover, this time, with the popularity of Liangmei Group, the horn-honking publicity also diverted a lot of attention away from the group.

In particular, there is a group of people who are very concerned about this matter: those who participated in the previous consecration ceremony of the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable.

They clearly experienced the Heavenly Dew that descended from the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable, and felt the wonder of the Heavenly Dew.

Therefore, seeing that the Chen family is holding a ceremony to consecrate the marriage with the God of Love, they will naturally take it very seriously.

Therefore, given this level of interest, the Chen family's matchmaking ceremony quickly became a hot topic.

Chen Han naturally saw it too; people kept tagging him in the comments section.

After watching the video taken by Mingdi, he had to admit that Mingdi, this sorcerer, really did have some talent.

After watching the video, Chen Han also turned on his phone to record, planning to shoot an abstract video of his own and upload it to generate some buzz.

He said directly to the camera, "The main reason I am meeting with you all through the Spirit Mirror this time is to tell you some good news. Tonight, I received a message from the Moon God in my dream."

"The Moon God told me that he will descend on the day of the consecration ceremony, and that as long as lovers sincerely worship the Moon God statue, they will receive his blessing and see the red thread connecting them!"

This video isn't really that abstract; it's rather conventional, or even feels a bit perfunctory.

However, given the current level of popularity, his video quickly gained a lot of attention after being uploaded.

Moreover, those who watched the video could tell that the Chen family head's video did seem somewhat perfunctory, and many people complained about it.
"Thank you, Patriarch Chen, for taking the time to deal with us. We already know about this from the video of the horn blaring."

"The head of the Chen family has learned how to deal with fans; my husband has been appearing in my dreams for a whole month now."

"Hahaha, Patriarch Chen, is your perfunctory publicity abstract or not?"

"..."

Chen Han naturally saw these complaints, but he did it on purpose.

Now everyone thinks he's just going through the motions with this video, but when the matchmaking ceremony arrives, those couples who come to Chen's and receive the blessing will definitely be amazed when they see the red thread of fate appear, and then they'll remember this video.

At that time, the thought that must have crossed everyone's mind was: Did the Chen family head really receive a dream from the God of Love?
