I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 225 We still need the God of Love to rectify these unhealthy practices!
【Special Marriage Stone: This is a special stone refined by the Moon God. It is made of incredibly sturdy Gengjin meteorite and symbolizes a beautiful marriage.

After devoutly worshipping the Moon God, holding hands and touching the Marriage Stone will trigger the Red Thread, granting a +2 attribute to unwavering love, and a harmonious and beautiful relationship. At that moment, you can even see the scene of growing old together in your mind!

Restrictions: 1. Must be wearing red. 2. Must be a truly loving couple. 3. Neither partner is currently at fault.
Note: The Moon God hadn't anticipated that mortal relationships had become corrupted, and that even special marriage stones could be affected by this evil influence. The runes representing pure love that the Moon God had crafted on them had been concealed by this evil influence and would require three days of continuous refining to dispel the evil influence and allow the runes to reappear.

Chen Han hadn't expected that after complaining about how distorted modern relationships and marriages had become, and that the God of Love might need to save them, the God of Love would reward him with something that could trigger the "Unbreakable Bond" attribute by +2.

In other words, once this special marriage stone is placed, couples can trigger the red thread by holding hands and touching it. This red thread is different from the previous blessing because it has the attribute of "love stronger than gold" +2.

Well, many couples start out very much in love, but due to the stresses of modern society and various other reasons, they often break up.

This doesn't mean they've stopped loving each other; it's just that societal restlessness and pressure have led to a buildup of pent-up emotions that have finally erupted. Many people regret their breakups and arguments afterward.

But more often than not, after acting impulsively, stubbornness sets in, or various work-related reasons leave them with no time, energy, or ability to salvage the relationship.

If this state lasts for a week, one will become numb again, and eventually, one will be too exhausted to continue and the matter will simply be dropped.

This is a terrible situation.

The high rates of remaining single, low marriage, and high divorce rates are also due to the increasing pressure and restlessness in society. In order to survive, most people do not have the extra energy to maintain their relationships.

Of course, the current trend of prioritizing money in relationships is also a reason.

Things are different now. As long as couples are truly in love from the beginning, they can come to the Chen family's place, hold hands, and touch the marriage stone to trigger the red thread, gaining the attribute of "love stronger than gold" +2.

According to the effects of the game system attributes, once the "Unbreakable Bond +2" attribute is triggered, the couple will definitely live happily ever after, never separate, be loyal to each other, and understand one another.

Because love leads to mutual understanding.

The inability to understand each other means a lack of love.

Of course, there are conditions for triggering this effect: the couple must be truly in love. This is easy to understand; "truly in love" and "in love" are two separate things.

If someone only gets together if they receive 10,000 yuan a month, and won't be together if they don't receive that amount, then even if they are a real couple, they are not truly in love.

If the couple is not at fault, then the meaning is quite clear.

Furthermore, it's definitely not acceptable for someone to have a boyfriend who flirts with others while also having male or female best friends, going out drinking until late at night.

Couples who can meet these two conditions, allowing their love to be stronger than gold and to live a harmonious and happy life together, can be considered to have done a good deed.

At least the man will always treat the woman well, and the woman won't break up with him angrily or act aggressively because of the bride price issue. She will at least fight back against her family. The man won't feel like he's losing out by giving a bride price; he will try his best to make things thoughtful because he loves the woman.

It's worth saving one couple at a time.

Perhaps if there are enough of them, they can truly reverse the current distorted views on relationships and marriage.

Of course, some people might say that love is stronger than gold, but what if you meet a woman or a man who is a gambler and they gamble away all their family's wealth, and you still can't separate because of your personalities? Isn't that a trap?

That just means their relationship is definitely not unbreakable, and they can't possibly live happily ever after.

When a woman or a man truly loves his partner, he is willing to make changes for her, just like a man is willing to quit smoking for a woman.

I understand the condition that you need to wear red to trigger the Marriage Stone.

This is a tradition in our country, or in the divine role of the Matchmaker God.

Think about it, in the past, people in our country would wear red for their weddings. Who would dare to wear even a little white? Wearing white was like cursing someone, hoping that their happy occasion would turn into a divorce.

If marriage is indeed a matter of metaphysics, then perhaps the rising divorce rate is partly due to this. These days, weddings are all about white wedding dresses, white suits, and white candles…

Thinking of this, Chen Han chuckled to himself. Sometimes people still admire foreign things; the words "fashion" and "trend" can easily fool everyone.

This may be the reason for the high divorce rate.

After all, it's a joyous occasion, and you're all dressed in white, surrounded by white. How can things possibly go well if you haven't received any blessings from the start?
To put it another way, using the Yin-Yang and Five Elements theory, we have metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. For the living, we use wood and fire, while for the dead, we use metal and water. Wood and fire represent life and growth, representing vitality, while metal and water represent death and lifelessness. Who would use metal and water for someone's joyous occasion?

If you change the Five Elements Feng Shui arrangement again, you're essentially setting up a lifeless Feng Shui formation for someone, making their life miserable.

Therefore, it's not surprising that there's a requirement to wear red, as it represents auspicious meaning.

However, Yue's husband did not expect that the evil influences of mortal relationships and marriages could affect the special marriage stone he was refining. He would have to refine it for three consecutive days to eliminate these evil influences.

Fortunately, there was still the weapon-refining furnace.

Moreover, without the special runes, this marriage stone is now just like an ordinary stone, only a bit smoother, and wouldn't seem special if dropped on a mountain.

Then, he saw the second reward given by his Moon Husband. Compared to the special marriage stone, this thing seemed like a gift and didn't seem to be of much use.

A special red string: This is something that the Moon God gave away casually. It doesn't have any great function, but it can be used once to find out if the target has a predestined relationship, and if the predestined relationship is close, it can also guide the other party.

Restriction: Can only be used on single targets! Only the caster and the target can see the red line.

Chen Han shook his head. He really didn't need this thing, nor could he use it, since it was meant for single people.

The key point is that this thing can only tell you whether a person is destined for marriage; it can't help a single person find a partner. You still have to pursue the person you're looking for. It just means the success rate is high, and it's easy to find someone you click with.

But that's not what he's interested in right now. What he wants to know is why there are suddenly so many flawless couples. Could it be that they're just lucky?
When he hurried to the Marriage Hall, he saw a tour group of tourists coming out, and he understood.

It was a group of elderly people with gray hair, the men and women holding hands.

These are elderly couples who have reached the age of growing old together. Perhaps in that era, there was more pure love and less concern for personal gain.

It's not that this era is inferior to the previous one, but rather that with progress, many things have changed, including people's thinking and ways of looking at things. It's just that people today may not adapt to these changes as easily. Upon entering the main hall, there were still quite a few elderly couples from the same tour group worshipping the Moon Goddess statue. However, since the conditions for a "flawless couple" had already been met, no further prompts appeared.

However, as a couple kowtowed in prayer, he also received a notification from the game system:

Congratulations! Your wish power has increased by 1 point!

Clearly, after the establishment of the Marriage Hall, the devout worship of tourists has indeed increased their prayer power, just like worshipping at the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable Hall.

He watched for a while, and then several elderly couples came forward to kowtow, two of whom offered their prayers.

In this way, the collection of vows can be faster. As long as couples come, they may not necessarily be devout to the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable, but they should be devout to the Moon God.

After figuring things out, Chen Han left the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Venerable Hall and turned his attention back to the special marriage stones in the game's inventory.

This thing will definitely become a super feature of the Marriage Temple in the future, and it may soon replace the Matchmaker Temple in Hangzhou.

In that case, the power of wishes that Yuegong could collect would definitely be higher than that of the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable.

However, this thing still needs to be refined in the furnace for 3 days to remove the pollutants and evil influences from it.

But before that, I need to shoot a video and upload it to my account. The Chen family head account also needs videos to maintain its popularity.

After heading to the weapon-refining furnace, he took the special marriage stone out of the game's inventory, which was about a meter tall.

Because the runes on it are hidden, it now looks just like an ordinary stone, and you can't tell anything special about it.

Afterwards, he also called his uncle, explaining that the refining furnace needed to continuously refine this special marriage stone for three days, and someone needed to watch over it.

It would be most appropriate to have my uncle arrange for someone from the workshop to watch over this place.

Chen Lin arrived quickly and asked, "Xiao Han, what are you going to refine this time?"

He had witnessed the wonders of this refining furnace firsthand; his nephew had used it to refine a fan before, and not a single feather on the fan had been singed.

At the time, he thought his nephew had done something wrong, so he touched it with his hand and almost got burned.

The key was that fan. After his nephew finished crafting it, he casually waved it, and a whirlwind appeared, blowing up all the dust and leaves on the ground.

“This!” Chen Han looked at the marriage stone.

Chen Lin hadn't really paid attention to this stone before, and felt that it wasn't anything special. But now that he saw his nephew was going to refine it, he realized that it was definitely not simple.

Chen Han had already picked up his phone and started recording. He first filmed the seemingly ordinary stone: "Because the Moon God taught me the method of refining the Marriage Stone, I went to Qingluan Peak to search for many days and finally obtained a Gengjin meteorite that can be used to refine the Marriage Stone."

"Elder Chen of the Chen Clan's Crafts Hall has now arrived at the furnace to ignite the Samadhi True Fire and refine this Gengjin meteorite for three days."

Chen Lin already knew his nephew's tricks, so he didn't hesitate and immediately picked up some wood to light the stove, while also smiling appropriately at the camera.

He's quite familiar with this business now, having been running a Douyin account for a while and boasting 63 followers thanks to his status as a Chen-style master.

Chen Han then stopped recording and watched the video, which showed a stove made of ordinary stones and bricks.

But no one knew that these were actually Gengjin meteorites and a weapon-refining furnace.

Then, he placed the marriage stone into the furnace and resealed it.

Looking at his uncle, he suddenly thought of that useless red thread. Wasn't his uncle single?

At first, he thought he was terminally ill and about to die, so he just wanted his uncle to get married and have a child so that their lineage wouldn't end.

Now we should give it a try for my uncle; maybe he can find a good match.

Thinking about it, Chen Han took out the red thread from the game inventory and used it on his uncle.

The next moment, a red thread wrapped around the uncle's wrist.

Chen Lin noticed something was wrong and asked in astonishment, "Xiao Han, what is this?"

"Uncle, your red thread might just help you find your other half," Chen Han said with a smile.

Just as he finished speaking, the red thread in his uncle's hand suddenly grew longer and shot outwards.

This left Chen Lin speechless with astonishment.

Chen Han was surprised. Was this his uncle's possible marriage with someone from the Chen family?
This makes my uncle work harder, because he might have another elder in his family soon.

He immediately followed the red line out, and Chen Lin followed with a completely bewildered expression, clearly not having reacted yet.

Once outside, Chen Han could see the extended red line leading outwards, but the surrounding tourists couldn't see it at all. Some tourists even crossed the red line without any hindrance.

Chen Han followed the red line forward, wanting to see who this woman, who was destined to be with his uncle, was.

Soon, Chen Han saw the target being held by the red thread on the other side, but the other party couldn't see the extra red thread on their wrist at all. This red thread could only be seen by the user and the user.

That means only he and his uncle could see it.

But when he looked at the woman who was reprimanding a man, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Is it her?
