I Materialized the Cultivation Game

Chapter 384: Chapter 185: The Chen Family’s Deception! This Is Getting Complicated!

Lu Xue was genuinely confused after watching the first video.

After watching the second video and the third one, she was completely unsettled.

These were all videos shot by tourists at the Chen Family’s National Style Event, and they were definitely not special effects.

But something felt off. Who had initially declared that the Cloud Barrier Technique was a special effect and had the tech department replicate it as an effect, causing so many people to come to Tiao Yin for an explanation now?

When she thought about it, it seemed to be herself.

This...

Lu Xue’s mind struggled to process it.

But her initial analysis wasn’t wrong, and the tech department had agreed. After all, the smoke’s spread and dispersal rates were unusual, not matching the typical patterns of smoke or dry ice fog.

That’s why the tech department could easily create the Cloud Barrier Technique effect.

If they were to imitate the diffusion patterns of smoke or dry ice fog more closely, it would actually be more complicated.

In other words, the Cloud Barrier Technique seemed obviously fake.

And now you’re telling her the Cloud Barrier Technique is real?

Patriarch Chen casually flings his hand, and smoke erupts and spreads?

Has the world become this magical now?

Lu Xue thought about it and immediately started reviewing these videos. As long as they didn’t violate any rules, she approved them all, even promoted some.

Does Tiao Yin need to explain to these people?

There’s no need to explain anything to them.

She only needs the attention; the higher the public interest, the better for her—at least she’ll earn a bonus.

After all, she was the one who discovered Patriarch Chen’s account, and she’s certain that with this level of attention, Patriarch Chen’s account could probably surpass 5 million followers.

...

As the Chen Family’s National Style Event performance concluded, many tourists chose to leave, calling for a taxi at the parking lot. Quite a few gazed regretfully at the advertisement board for redeeming prizes.

Some tourists, after visiting the Chen Family, not only enjoyed brilliant performances but also won prizes, selling them here at a high price—something to envy.

While many expressed admiration, someone was suddenly seen carrying a bamboo tube toward the advertisement board.

This drew a lot of attention.

The bamboo tube seemed to be the packaging for Premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea.

Could it be that this person won an entire tube of Premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea?

It’s known that Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea sells for 300,000 per pound outside, if one can buy it at all.

If someone has won such a prize, they truly have incredible luck.

"I want to sell Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea," the person said as they reached the billboard, saying to the person stationed there.

Tourists couldn’t help but crowd around to watch.

Liu Ye’s bodyguard was equally surprised; over the past three days, many have sold Premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea, but no one has sold an entire tube at once.

This full pound version, he had only seen in possession of his boss.

So he immediately said, "Let’s inspect the goods first."

The individual promptly handed over the Premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea.

After the bodyguard took it, he sniffed the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea, his brows furrowing as he handed the bamboo tube back: "Sir, my boss won’t accept this tea."

The person’s face changed dramatically, hurriedly asking, "Why not accept it? Doesn’t it say here that Premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea is being bought?"

The bodyguard coldly replied, "Sir, don’t you know? What you have is fake Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea, or do you think I’m a fool?"

Upon smelling the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea, he immediately knew it was fake, lacking the rich aroma of his boss’s tea.

The person, hearing this, looked even more distressed: "How could it be fake? This is Premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea from the Chen Family, bought right from the hands of Chen Family members, as the bamboo tube packaging shows."

Saying this, he furiously began recording on his phone, shouting to the surrounding tourists: "Everyone, have a look. This Premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea from the Chen Family is a scam. The Premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea in my hand was bought from the Chen Family, and now they’re advertising to purchase Premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea but claim that what I have is fake. Isn’t this laughable?"

His words stirred the surrounding tourists into a commotion.

Over three days, many winners have sold their items here. Now, out of the blue, someone’s accusing the Chen Family of fraud—how could that not catch people’s attention?

Importantly, they had watched the Chen Family’s performance, and knew the family had a lot of things, so fraud seemed unnecessary.

After all, the Chen Family openly included Premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea among the prizes, and those winning couldn’t all be arranged by the Chen Family.

Unless it’s because those prizes were only in small amounts, but this person has a full bamboo tube, which is one pound, implicating a significant price.

There’s also a possibility that selling these high-end items among the wealthy is just a stunt by the Chen Family, meant to harvest big wigs rather than affect ordinary people.

Maybe this person accidentally entered this circle of ’harvest’ and found out they’d been fooled, coming specifically to try and sell this Premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea back?

Yet, such stunt items are too easily exposed; it seems unnecessary, especially since regular Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea truly works, and everyone could enjoy it for free over three days.

The Premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea shouldn’t be fake; the Chen Family wouldn’t be that foolish.

Similarly, if the Chen Family didn’t engage in fraud with the Premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea, then this person is defaming the Chen Family, and anyone can see it—a person would have to be really foolish to do that.

But crucially, despite this person’s commotion, the rumored misfortune that should have befallen them hasn’t appeared. If the unfortunate rumors are true, then this person is definitely slandering the Chen Family and should face punishment.
