I Materialized the Cultivation Game

"This is the Chen Family intimidating those petty thieves, basically telling them not to act rashly in front of the Chen Family, otherwise they will make them pay the price."

"But what intrigues Echo the most is how the old Daoist of the Chen Family knew about the existence of those two gangs; it’s evident that those uncles had no idea and were just following him to pick up the scraps."

"Could it be that the Chen Family can predict the future?"

After recording the video, Echo uploaded it immediately, and with the current buzz, his video quickly became a trending topic.

Moreover, he was the first to string together these events of the Chen Family into a coherent storyline.

So, is the old Daoist of the Chen Family truly vanquishing demons, killing one to warn a hundred?

Especially Echo’s last two questions, how did the old Daoist know about those two gangs?

Could he really divine the unknown?

This not only surprised netizens but also astonished Linhe County and Chu Ping when they received the report.

He learned from Li Rui that the county had no information about these two gangs.

Most importantly, that old Daoist saved the granddaughter of a county leader, which was the most fortunate news.

"How is the interrogation going now?" While surprised, Chu Ping didn’t forget to inquire from Li Rui and his team.

Li Rui quickly reported, "Preliminary interrogation has yielded some results; it’s all connected to operations across the border in Myanmar, involving significant matters. The second wave of people, in particular, their weapon sources might be the same as those kidnappers, so that old Daoist wasn’t just randomly demon-vanquishing!"

This further surprised Chu Ping; that old Daoist of the Chen Family is indeed enigmatic.

Li Rui then added, "The leaders have instructed us to omit mentions of that old Daoist from the Chen Family in our reports, and one weapon is missing, presumably taken by the old Daoist. The leaders told us to act as if we don’t know."

"Hmm!" Chu Ping nodded.

This was the best course of action.

To be honest, he had seen the wounds on those people, and their power was not weaker than those weapons. Moreover, Li Rui’s report suggested that they might have been caused by a toothpick; the other party truly had no need to use such weapons.

Li Rui asked again, "In Chu County, the buzz around this old Daoist of the Chen Family is getting louder online; how should we respond?"

Chu Ping decisively said, "The online buzz isn’t our concern. Here, we stick to Huang Xin’s explanation: they were our undercover operatives in disguise, and the online videos are doctored. We must believe in science."

"Understood!" Li Rui nodded and went back to report to the leaders.

Not long after, Linhe County released a related announcement, stating that the two gangs had been under surveillance for a long time and were captured in one swoop today, urging people not to believe or spread rumors and to trust in science.

This left many people bewildered. Believe in science, they said.

Do you think people will believe you?

While the online chatter was deafening, Chen Han had already returned to the Chen Family, shedding the disguise of the Thousand Illusion Mask, and once again became the young and handsome Patriarch of the Chen Family.

Seeing that it was not yet completely dark, he went directly to the back mountain to experiment with the Spirit Jade Ball.

Having obtained this Defensive Magical Treasure, he needed to know how strong its defensive power was, so he could be assured if he ever needed to use it.

To test the defense against bullets without alarming tourists was crucial; if they heard, it might cause trouble.

Fortunately, he had previously scouted the back mountain and knew where to conduct the experiment.

When he reached a secluded rock cliff in the back mountain, he took out the Spirit Jade Ball.

It was a sphere made entirely of jade, etched with profound runes.

As he activated it, the runes on the Spirit Jade Ball instantly lit up, forming a blue light shield that enveloped him.

The shield flowed like a fluid and was exceptionally miraculous!

He tried extending his hand, penetrating through the shield effortlessly.

This made him frown.

As he gestured with his hand, the Spirit Jade Ball was reactivated, floating out to a two-meter range, forming another protective shield.

He reached out again, this time being stopped by the shield.

Hence, the defense was oriented externally; he could attack outwards from within, but outside attacks were blocked.

If this protective shield wasn’t breached, while inside with just boxes of toothpicks, anything would be imaginable.

However, when he took out a gun from the game warehouse and fired at the Spirit Jade Ball shield, the shield shattered instantly, and the bullet struck the rock behind, sparking a flurry of fire.

This defense was too weak!
