I Materialized the Cultivation Game-Chapter 47 - 41: Demon Cult Demons??? Trust in Science!
Xiaomi felt the magical effects after eating the medicinal meal.
She instinctively looked at Chen Han.
He researched the medicinal meal to save himself, and actually came up with something incredible!
If this medicinal meal could be effective against his cancer, that would be great.
After finishing the meal, everyone had a bit of porridge, followed by some leisure time after dinner.
Xiaoyu took out her phone to browse videos, hoping to find materials for shooting a video today. To her surprise, she stumbled upon her senior brother’s new video after just a couple of videos.
Seeing the video data, she said in shock, "Senior brother, your new video today has already broken 2,000 likes in such a short time. This video is going viral."
This also piqued Chen Lin’s curiosity to search for his nephew’s newly released video.
At first, there was nothing special; it was akin to the funny videos his nephew used to make, where even Sixth Uncle became a Spirit Beast Elder.
But when he saw his nephew playing the flute, and all those Lion-headed Geese were staring at him in unison, it felt strangely familiar.
Weren’t those Lion-headed Geese doing the same thing today?
At this moment, Xiaoyu also witnessed the Lion-headed Geese spreading their wings and stretching their necks around her senior brother.
She was completely stunned: "Senior brother, how did you do it?"
Chen Han spoke the truth: "I’ve been practicing the Beast Taming Technique. Your senior brother is cultivating now."
"Senior brother, if you don’t want to say, just don’t. Why mislead people, huh!" Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at him and huffed.
But honestly, she had no idea when her senior brother learned this trick.
She really wanted to know, but since he wouldn’t say, she had to act as if she wasn’t interested, right?
Oh dear, senior brother is so annoying.
Can’t he see that she’s curious?
Such a blockhead.
Clueless about romance.
Chen Han chuckled.
He naturally noticed his junior sister’s sorrowful expression, but since he had told the truth and she still didn’t believe him, what could he do?
Meanwhile, he saw a prompt in his mind about an increase in reputation.
The new video data was really good, attracting a lot of attention.
After finishing the meal, Chen Han returned to his courtyard, fetched a scoop of water by the reservoir, and checked the notes information in the storage.
It was still Spirit Plant Dew Water. It seemed that after Baihua Palace Spiritual Jade cast magic to transform the water, it wouldn’t revert back to normal water as time passed.
At least, not within a day.
He could continue observing this later on.
Afterward, he took out a sprayer to water the orchids. He already understood that the Spirit Plant Dew Water had a growth speed of +2, but he still needed to verify and compare the aesthetic +2, charming fragrance +2, and vitality +2 attributes.
Once he was done, he entered the attic.
After taking a shower, he took out the Beast Taming Flute and began practicing the other three musical notes. The growth in data for the recently posted video was encouraging, so he wanted to continue capitalizing on the momentum by mastering the other three notes.
The flute with just one Guardian Melody was already so impressive; who knows what the other three would be like.
Since he had the experience of practicing the first melody, learning the latter three was much faster.
Throughout the night, before exhaustion could set in, he had already mastered the other three notes and could play them with ease.
When he set aside the flute, a new task prompt appeared in the game interface in his mind:
[Congratulations on thoroughly mastering the mysteries of the Beast Taming Flute, enabling you to effortlessly control the family’s Spirit Beast, the Profound Frost Lion-headed Goose. According to the family members’ external inquiries, the Demon Sect has become more active recently, with the Blood Demon seemingly making new moves.
There have even been reports in nearby towns of Demon Cult Demons acting. If they have designs on the family, it could pose an even greater threat. Please control the Profound Frost Lion-headed Goose to strike and quickly eliminate the threat of the Dog Demon!]
This sudden task left Chen Han both surprised and delighted.
He was pleased because completing it would definitely yield rewards, whether it was the Baihua Palace Fairy task or the Spirit Beast Profound Frost Lion-headed Goose task, he had received rewards for both.
Both the Baihua Palace Spiritual Jade and Beast Taming Flute turned out to be incredibly useful.
Thus, he was quite eager to complete this task.
He just didn’t know what these Demon Cult Demons were or what form they would take.
Nonetheless, solving the Dog Demon threat posed a dilemma.
How was he supposed to resolve it?
Report to the authorities about a stray dog biting people and let the dog-catching team handle it?
That should be fairly easy.
But then, there was a question of whether the game system would recognize it, given that the task explicitly stated to control the Profound Frost Lion-headed Goose to take action, such an out-of-game approach might lead to task failure.
Furthermore, if the Dog Demon crisis was resolved and they couldn’t harvest Dog Demon Meat anymore, that would be even more vexing.
However, one thing was certain: having mastered the Beast Taming Flute, he definitely needed to lead 100 Spirit Beast Profound Frost Lion-headed Geese on a strike first.
The Spirit Stone shouldn’t be wasted!
As he pondered, the game prompt appeared once again:
[Congratulations on gaining a follower through an image transmitted via the Spirit Shadow Treasure Mirror, earning 1 reputation point!]
He glanced at the Sect’s Base information in his mind and noted that while he was practicing the Beast Taming Flute notes, the sound was consistently increasing.
Upgrade requirements: 1, 400,000 wealth (54,200/400,000). 2, 2000 reputation (563/2000).
Over the course of one night, his total reputation had increased by over 450, meaning the new video brought in more than 450 followers.
He also checked his Chen Patriarch account on his phone, noting that his followers had surpassed 1,000.
The new video featuring the Profound Frost Lion-headed Goose had received 15,000 likes, closely approaching the previous high of 18,000.
With this trend, this single video might meet the reputation requirement for the current level of the Sect’s Base.
He opened the video and browsed the comment section, but seeing a highly liked and pinned comment, he chuckled.
"Actually, everyone shouldn’t think this video is so magical or be misled by the mysterious way the blogger talks. In modern society, science is emphasized, and the behavior of these Lion-headed Geese has traces and scientific basis."
"Lion-headed Geese are highly social animals with strong learning and imitation abilities. As long as one is trained well, introducing two more and having the trained one demonstrate will get the others to follow quickly, just like the new ones introduced in the video."
"Therefore, achieving such a scene with the geese in the video isn’t difficult; it’s just that the process is very tedious and time-consuming. Just look at Nantong International Circus; they have performances with 15 geese. If they spend the time using scientific methods to train them, handling over 100 geese is no issue, so there’s no need for everyone to be so amazed."
This seemed like scientific popularization, but Chen Han didn’t expect anyone to come to his humorous fantasy cultivation video and provide a scientific explanation.
What’s more, when he clicked on the commenter, it turned out to be a verified professor specializing in avian species named Professor Wu.
Chen Han wanted to facepalm. Professor, we aren’t running the same race here.
In response, he could only reply with: "Professor is right, everyone should believe in science!"
Yet internally, he mused about how he would upload his skills with the other three notes of the Beast Taming Flute, wondering how the commentator would scientifically explain those. Perhaps it would leave him a bit dumbfounded?
He found himself a bit eager to see that!
Meanwhile, on the other side, Professor Wu felt a bit awkward. After all, he was a serious avian expert professor, teaching college and graduate students, yet he was providing a scientific explanation in the comment section of an unconventional fantasy cultivation blogger video.
Even he felt a bit embarrassed.
But, he was with his young daughter when she stumbled across this video from the blogger and was completely amazed by the Beast Taming Technique showcased, asking him how it was done.
To assert his authority as an avian professor, he had to explain the scientific principles of the phenomena to his daughter.
However, her skeptical and unbelieving gaze was too much for him. "Your father is a professional professor!" Thus, he proceeded to give a scientific explanation in the blogger’s comment section, which fortunately was well-received and liked by many.
Upon seeing the Chen Patriarch’s reply, ’Professor is right, everyone should believe in science,’ he laughed too.
Even though the blogger played with abstract concepts, he grasped the big truths and didn’t get evasive or insist on being oppositional, so he also showed this reply to his daughter: "See, Chen Patriarch himself said to believe in science."
This finally convinced his daughter, who said admiringly, "Dad, in Chen Patriarch’s video, it says that the Spirit Beast Elder taught him four moves of the Beast Taming Technique. This is just the first one. What do you think the other three might be?"
"How would I know without seeing them? We have to wait and see to give an explanation. Trust your dad—I am the most proficient professor in this field." Professor Wu smiled at his daughter, not paying much attention to what the other three moves of the Beast Taming Technique from Chen Patriarch might be.
Probably, it would be similar to the methods used in Nantong Circus, relying on the Lion-headed Goose’s habits and conducting some training; it could always be explained scientifically.
Honestly speaking, for Chen Patriarch to control 100 Lion-headed Geese in such a manner would undoubtedly require extensive time and effort, possibly even years, which was admirable.
