I Materialized the Cultivation Game-Chapter 71 - 65: He’s Using Special Effects as a Cover for Magic!
As the female tourist murmured, the other three also completely reacted.
This is definitely not special effects.
But in Xiaoyuzha’s video, it seemed like Patriarch Chen personally revealed that Xiaoyuzha’s video was all special effects.
Have the special effects crossed over into reality?
Is this using the guise of special effects to openly perform magic?
Xiaoyu looked at the vast mist before him, his eyes widened slightly—his senior brother was holding out on him.
He kept the good stuff for himself.
Chen Han emerged from the mist and noticed four identical prompts in his mind:
[Congratulations, by showing your abilities in public, you’ve gained 1 point of reputation!]
[...]
He glanced at the four tourists not far away.
Then he took the phone from his junior sister’s hand to check the video she had taken.
"Senior brother, I did a good job filming, right? I even gave a close-up of your hand gesture for the spell," she said, clearly seeking praise once more—what a beautiful and cute little credit seeker.
"Yes, you filmed it very well." Chen Han naturally knew how to deal with such a request for praise, just compliment her.
When praised well, his junior sister would be in a good mood and eager to help him with tasks.
"Senior brother, I’ll edit the video for you and send it to you." Indeed, she gladly took on the job.
Chen Han smiled and said, "Remember to add a notice at the end saying ’Pay attention to distinguish special effects behavior,’ and enlarge the font a bit."
"Why?" she asked, completely puzzled, "I was already speechless when Tiao Yin gave a special effects warning. Why would you voluntarily add one, senior brother?"
"Whether we add it or not, Tiao Yin will anyway," Chen Han said, as he led his junior sister out of the martial arts arena.
The four tourists listened to their conversation, still exchanging amazed glances.
After Tiao Yin’s special effects warning...they probably won’t trust it completely in the future.
Then, the four tourists looked again at the mist covering the area, now starting to dissipate, becoming thinner, like morning fog in winter.
Only then did the four realize and walk over to examine it.
The mist was real, not some hologram or anything, and even holography couldn’t produce such effect in broad daylight. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Next, they all took out their phones to capture the quickly dissipating mist.
This was evidence that Patriarch Chen could truly perform magic.
...
Chen Han quickly returned to his courtyard with his junior sister.
While she went into the pavilion to help him edit the video, he walked over to the reservoir, scooped up a ladle of water, and stored it in the warehouse. He checked the information note:
[This is a ladle of Spirit Plant Dew Water whose effect is already starting to weaken. Please use it quickly!]
From this, it was clear that after the transformation, the Spirit Plant Dew Water could maintain its effect for a few days but not indefinitely.
After that, he took the spray and started watering the orchids in the yard.
These orchids were now fragrant and their colors, layers, and appearance were getting better. Comparing it to the video taken the first time, the difference was like night and day, as though an ordinary-looking girl had turned on Tiao Yin live stream.
In other words, within just a few days, the fragrance +2 and aesthetics +2 attributes of the Spirit Plant Dew Water could bring a qualitative change to plant species in terms of both fragrance and appearance.
So planning to supply flower cultivation could be considered, especially since an opportunity to earn wealth by colluding with the Demon Cult Demons had presented itself.
After finishing the watering with Spirit Plant Dew Water on the orchids in the yard, his junior sister came out smiling and said, "Senior brother, the video is edited. I’ve sent it to you."
"Thank you," Chen Han smiled and picked up his phone, indeed receiving the edited video from his junior sister. After watching it, he found the editing was excellent, especially the special effects notice added at the end.
His junior sister seemed to have added it in a kind of retributive manner, making the subtitle particularly eye-catching.
He laughed and chose to upload it on Tiao Yin.
Title: "This isn’t the Smoke Escape Technique, but the Cloud Barrier Technique, a secret Chen method!"
Click upload!
Chen Han’s previous video ’Amazingly, the Demon Cult Demons got humiliated...’ had surpassed 500,000 likes, and the video of Xiaoyu’s Smoke Escape Technique also had over 100,000 likes.
Due to the association, this video was quickly caught by viewers.
Viewers who watched his video, liked, commented on it, or had interacted with Xiaoyu’s Smoke Escape Technique video were prompted by Tiao Yin system to see his video first.
Wang Bing was one of those prompted by the system.
Mainly because he followed ’Xiaoyuzha’, and yesterday Chen Han even replied to his comment in the junior sister’s comment section.
So, today he was bored and pulled out his phone to scroll through videos, and stumbled upon Chen Han’s new video.
Wang Bing didn’t find it strange seeing this video from Patriarch Chen, after all, they had interacted in the comment section before.
The algorithm on Tiao Yin is quite powerful; if you linger on a certain type of video for a while, or search for a particular genre, it’ll immediately start suggesting similar content.
So, for those with girlfriends, after watching videos of beauties, be sure to mark them as not interested.
Now, a way for girls to verify if a guy is an LSP or a jerk is by checking his Tiao Yin account. If several videos of girls show up among the first ten, he’s labeled as an LSP or a jerk.
He once overheard two passersby talking about some soft style, something really nice, about a soft number six hand, and out of curiosity, he looked up ’soft style’ on a certain search engine. The result was that Tiao Yin suggested videos revealing tricks about soft style.
At that moment, he felt a chill down his spine, feeling like he was being watched.
When he stumbled upon it, he clicked on Patriarch Chen’s video.
Seeing the title "This Isn’t Smoke Escape, It’s Cloud Barrier Technique...", he was reminded of ’Xiaoyuzha’s’ smoke video.
Patriarch Chen had just revealed his junior sister’s video was special effects, and now he posted another one himself. It was quite amusing.
He glanced at the bottom left of the video, and sure enough, Tiao Yin’s system had flagged it as a special effects action, fearing he would believe Patriarch Chen’s Cloud Barrier Technique wasn’t a special effect.
The video started with a large martial arts arena, with Patriarch Chen standing seriously in front of the camera saying, "Today, I specially use the Spirit Shadow Treasure Mirror to record..."
Really, the moment he heard the words ’Spirit Shadow Treasure Mirror’, he instinctively looked at his phone, thinking this Patriarch Chen was something else.
With a ’pfft’ laugh from a girl in the video, he immediately knew it was ’Xiaoyuzha’.
That ’pfft’ from ’Xiaoyuzha’ resonated with him, and he immediately commented: "Patriarch Chen, even your junior sister couldn’t hold it in, how do you manage to say ’Spirit Shadow Treasure Mirror’ with such a straight face?"
He noticed that quite a few people were already joking about the ’Spirit Shadow Treasure Mirror’, with many even showcasing their own Spirit Shadow Treasure Mirrors of various brands and models.
Super abstract.
But, it seems Patriarch Chen succeeded, as everyone was amused.
Continuing to watch the video, Patriarch Chen was indeed about to perform ’Xiaoyuzha’s’ Smoke Escape Technique from yesterday, no, it was Cloud Barrier Technique.
The key was that Patriarch Chen was even better at it; Xiaoyuzha just finished a sword dance and added a special effect, while Patriarch Chen actually started forming a spell, and it looked pretty good.
In the video, as soon as the spell ended, a cloud of smoke covered Patriarch Chen, blocking the view.
Indeed, Patriarch Chen’s video was much better produced than ’Xiaoyuzha’s’, and more impactful, but the special effects still weren’t right. When that smoke effect emerged in the open space, the dispersal speed was noticeably off.
The video ended there, with the key point being Patriarch Chen’s video closed with a ’special effects action’ notice.
Despite being abstract, Patriarch Chen was sincere, unlike his junior sister ’Xiaoyuzha’. Everyone saw her video was special effects, Tiao Yin’s system even flagged it, yet she still tried to argue.
Thinking about it, he also left a comment for Patriarch Chen: "Hahaha, Patriarch Chen, your special effects have improved compared to your junior sister’s!"
He glanced at the comment section for Patriarch Chen, and it was bustling, with everyone entertained.
"Patriarch Chen’s special effects have improved compared to his junior sister’s!"
"He even labeled it as a special effects action himself, does he want to leave the Tiao Yin system with nothing to do?"
"I always thought adding some special effects to the Chen Family Manor videos would be better, and now he really started using them. Not bad, not bad."
"..."
Wang Bing couldn’t help but smile knowingly at the comments section, eventually deciding to follow Patriarch Chen. Regardless of how abstract the person was, it made him laugh.
At that moment, he noticed someone responded to his comment: "What if Patriarch Chen’s Cloud Barrier Technique isn’t a special effect, but real?"
The reply came from an account named Yuanyuan is not stupid, and the person not only commented on his post but also replied to all the ones claiming it was special effects.
Really a bit speechless!
This ’Yuanyuan is not stupid’ must be brainless, huh?
Tiao Yin’s system and Patriarch Chen himself had flagged it as special effects, yet someone stupidly behaved like this. And she had the nerve to use the name ’not stupid’?
He himself replied: "Patriarch Chen and Tiao Yin’s system both flagged it as special effects, are you going to say you were on site and Patriarch Chen purposely added a special effects reminder caption? Laughable!"
After commenting, he noticed he wasn’t the only one; many people were mocking this ’Yuanyuan is not stupid’. It’s hard to understand what’s going on in such a person’s mind.
In the Chen Family.
Zhao Yuanyuan saw those mocking comments and was really speechless. She and her boyfriend, along with two friends, truly witnessed Patriarch Chen casting a spell with their own eyes, and Patriarch Chen deliberately added the special effects notice.
He was openly using magic under the guise of special effects.
"Damn it, why don’t these people believe it’s real." Zhao Yuanyuan complained to her boyfriend as the teasing continued to grow.
Her boyfriend sighed: "Indeed, only a few can know the truth; the rest are just fools being played."
Her female companion suddenly suggested, "Didn’t we film that smoke video? Yuanyuan, post it on your account and see what they say."
"Good idea." Zhao Yuanyuan’s eyes lit up.
