Chapter 4 Awakening: Meteor Hammer Martial Soul!
Lin Yi's eyes lit up.
In "Douluo Continent", Tang San harvested a large number of immortal herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Among them, the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum was given to Dai Mubai and had miraculous effects.
Although the system is only providing "petals in their initial blooming stage" now, and their medicinal properties are certainly not as good as those of a complete immortal herb, it is definitely a transformative improvement for ordinary animals.
200% accuracy.
He has 45 points left, which isn't enough.
We need to keep working on Kuaishou.
Lin Yi opened Kuaishou and began to study the videos that had truly gone viral.
As he scrolled through the pages, he noticed something.
Recently, there's been a trending topic on Kuaishou called "Martial Arts Fraud Exposing," where a group of self-proclaimed "Traditional Martial Arts Masters" and a group of self-proclaimed "Fraud Exposing Fighters" are challenging each other, generating an astonishing amount of traffic.
There's a guy called "Iron Fist Bro" who posts videos every day of him breaking bricks and kicking wooden stakes, clamoring to challenge all sorts of "fake masters".
There's also someone called "Master Ma of Hunyuan Taiji," who always acts like a master whenever he posts a video, talking about "receiving, neutralizing, and releasing" and "using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds," causing a huge uproar in the comments section.
These people each have hundreds of thousands or even millions of followers.
On what grounds?
Just because they can break bricks?
Looking at the storage bracelet on his wrist, and recalling the amazing effects of the renovated inn, Lin Yi suddenly had a bold idea.
Anyone can break bricks.
Although he has not yet truly awakened his martial soul, the basic soul power granted by the system already allows his physical attributes to far surpass those of ordinary people.
Add the storage bracelet as a "magic prop," and shooting a video that no one can guess is a piece of cake, right?
Lin Yi immediately went out and found a few red bricks left over from building chicken coops in the yard.
He placed the three bricks flat on the stone platform, then set up his phone and started recording.
"Practicing martial arts is for health and fitness, stop exposing fakes all day long," Lin Yi said to the camera, mimicking the tone of those internet celebrities. "If you're really capable, come find me in Qing Shi Village."
After saying that, he threw a punch.
The three flat red bricks shattered together, breaking into pieces as fine as tofu dregs.
Recording complete.
Upload.
Title: "First day of Martial Soul Awakening: Meteor Hammer Martial Soul. Seeking guidance from masters. #MartialArtsFakeRealists #MartialSoulAwakening #TraditionalMartialArts"
I spent 3000 yuan on promotion.
Wait.
That night, Lin Yi's Kuaishou backend message notifications rang all night long.
By noon the next day, the video had received over 18 likes, and the number was still skyrocketing.
The system's accuracy rating soared from 45 points to over 2100.
The comments section was even more lively:
"Holy crap? Three bricks laid flat, all shattered with a single punch? Is this even human?"
"Special effects, right? Can anyone who knows about this explain the science behind it?"
"I'm an engineer, and I can say this responsibly: it's impossible for a normal human being to smash three red bricks flat on a solid stone platform into a rubble with one punch."
"Another scammer, confirmed."
"What do you guys know? This is a martial soul awakening, a meteor hammer martial soul! Didn't you see the title? (doge)"
"Hilarious! Martial Soul Awakening is here? Have you been watching too much Douluo Continent?"
"Taking the trend-chasing to a whole new level, the first person to awaken a martial soul, followed."
There was a chorus of curses.
But the number of likes keeps increasing.
Lin Yi looked at the backend data and couldn't stop smiling.
What's there to be afraid of being scolded?
The more people criticize it, the higher the popularity becomes, and the faster the authenticity is established.
He doesn't care how noisy the comments section is; he only cares about the constantly fluctuating authenticity number.
With over 2100 points of realism, it's enough to materialize the petals of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum.
Just as Lin Yi was about to manifest, he suddenly heard Big Yellow Afu's barking from downstairs.
More guests have arrived.
He went downstairs to greet the guests and saw a BMW 7 Series drive into the parking lot.
The person who got off the bus was a middle-aged man with a small mustache and a small braid, who exuded the air of an artist.
It was none other than ceramic master Su Qing.
Su Qing had just parked her car when she looked up and saw the mountain retreat, and she was completely stunned.
He is a national-level master of arts and crafts, and his perception of "beauty" is much more acute than that of ordinary people.
The seemingly ordinary mountain village guesthouse in front of him presented a perfect picture in his eyes—the bluish-gray stone walls blended seamlessly with the surrounding green mountains and trees, the wooden window frames and porch exuded a warm feeling of time's passage, and the crooked jujube tree in the courtyard was in just the right place, as if someone had carefully composed the composition.
Everything was so natural, yet everything was so unusual.
"Who designed this inn...?" Su Qing murmured to herself.
Lin Yi went up to him and said, "Sir, welcome."
Su Qing snapped out of her daze and asked excitedly, "Boss, who designed this inn? The layout, the materials, the way it blends with nature—it's absolutely a masterpiece!"
Lin Yi smiled.
What master craftsman's work?
This was done by Uncle Ergen, a bricklayer in the village.
The current effect is entirely due to the transformation plan of Shenghun Village.
"Sir, please come in."
Su Qing followed Lin Yi into the inn and was once again amazed.
"This environment... I've stayed in so many places, and I've never seen a place that makes you feel so comfortable the moment you walk in. The decor is so simple, why does it give me this feeling?"
The more he looked, the more incredible it seemed.
When he ate the dinner prepared by Lin Jianguo, this well-traveled ceramic master completely broke down.
"This dish...this taste..." Su Qing picked up a piece of braised pork, her eyes wide with amazement. "State banquet level! This small mountain village actually hides a chef of state banquet caliber?"
Lin Yi listened from the side, silently making notes in his mind:
Another person has been conquered by "God of Cookery Inheritance +100".
After finishing her meal, Su Qing approached Lin Yi, her attitude ten times more polite than when she first arrived: "Boss Lin, I'd like to ask if you have any clay resources around here?"
"Clay?" Lin Yi was taken aback. "We do have a few red clay slopes on the back mountain, but I don't know if they're suitable for making pottery."
Su Qing's eyes lit up: "Could you take me to see it?"
The next morning, Lin Yi took Su Qing to the back mountain.
When Su Qing saw that red soil slope, she was so excited that her hands were shaking.
"This is top-quality kaolin! No, it's even finer than kaolin! This kind of clay will produce a very special glaze on porcelain... My God, I've been searching for this kind of clay for over ten years!"
He decided to keep the package on the spot.
Then, Lin Yi's phone received another text message confirming the arrival of funds.
Another 100.
Zhou Xiuying stared at the text messages on her phone, already somewhat numb.
Lin Jianguo, on the other hand, looked proud: "See? My son was right to go for the high-end market! You all used to say my cooking was just home-style, but now you know, right? That's because you didn't know how to appreciate it!"
Zhou Xiuying rolled her eyes at him: "What does your sudden improvement in cooking skills have to do with you? It must be because our family's feng shui has improved."
The couple were bickering, but Lin Yi had already returned to his room.
He wanted to materialize the petals of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum.
