I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 259 The Expectations of the Young Chen! The Battle of Qingluo Valley!
Chen Xing didn't have much education; he used to work in factories, and he met his wife there before they got married.

After he and his wife had their son, he continued to work in the factory until his parents passed away and his son entered high school.

Even though he had been working for many years, his boss never gave him a raise. Instead, he complained that he was too old and didn't do as much work as the younger employees.

Because his son was in high school, he was disliked by his boss and even had to do more work. He didn't dare to complain and could only silently endure it, otherwise, losing his job would be unbearable for his family.

This applies to all working-class people at the bottom of society.

His only wish at the time was for his son to get into a good university and have a bright future.

Moreover, after my son entered high school, we discovered that he was good at sports and could get into a better university through the path of becoming a sports student.

However, the cost of getting into university through physical education exams is also much higher.

Is there any way to solve this?
He and his wife could only grit their teeth and bear the higher costs, so he would take on a part-time job delivering food after get off work.

They always managed to support their son.

He thought his life would continue like this until he suddenly saw a job posting in the family group this year, and everything changed.

He also knew that his family had invested all their resources in ancient architecture tourism, but there hadn't been many tourists, and the people in the clan didn't have much hope.

Who knew that this tourism project would be started by the new head of the household?

At first, many people didn't believe it when they were recruiting, and they were skeptical, fearing that the company might suddenly go bankrupt and they would lose their jobs outside while working in the clan.

A family like his simply cannot withstand such a thing; even a month without a salary would make it impossible for them to survive.

Therefore, even when he has a cold or headache, he doesn't dare to go to the hospital.

But everyone has seen how the family developed since then, and news videos about the family's development can even be found online.

He and his wife returned to their clan with a gamble in mind, and only after returning did he realize that his clan was far better than the unscrupulous bosses outside.

He now works in the specialty products department picking bamboo leaves, earning 7500 yuan a month, which is 2000 yuan more than he would have earned working elsewhere. In addition, with bonuses and full attendance bonuses, he earns more than twice as much as he would have earned working elsewhere.

Moreover, because his family was indeed struggling financially, his wife was also assigned to work in the specialty products department, processing tea leaves. Together, their combined salary was just over 2 yuan, which was more than double what they would have earned working outside.

Life at home improved immediately.

When he received his first paycheck, he and his wife both cried, and they truly felt how fortunate they were to have a family to rely on.

Thinking back on their twenty-odd years of working, it was truly heartbreaking, which filled them with gratitude towards the young head of the household whom they didn't know very well.

Later, another room with good feng shui was added to the family's accommodation, and now they can earn more than 400 yuan a day, and after paying taxes, they earn more than 10,000 yuan a month.

Only those who have endured hardship know how good the Chen family is now, and how fortunate it is to be a member of the family.

Therefore, he actively participates in family matters or family gatherings without hesitation.

Similarly, after he returned, he witnessed many mysterious events in the family and gradually learned that the family had a deep heritage.

However, there was a family rule that these things could only be known by the head of the family and not by ordinary family members. Therefore, people like him who had lived in the Chen family all their lives did not know these things.

When he first found out, he was quite shocked.

Later, we learned that the head of the family had broken many old rules to promote the development of the Chen family and help everyone get rich, which is why everyone knew about these things.

This includes kung fu.

He had no idea that Chen Lin and Chen Dagou, who he used to play in the mud and steal bird eggs with when he was a child, knew kung fu and were even experts.
He remembered seeing Chen Lin with a saw and woodworking tools repairing things when he came back last year; he looked every bit the carpenter.

Suddenly seeing a video of someone taking down a thief with their bare hands, slapping one of them to the ground, was quite shocking and astonishing.

This was hidden too well.

Now everyone outside knows that the Chen family has real kung fu skills, and they are all curious about Chen family kung fu.

In fact, the clansmen were also very curious. Chen Dagou from the Demon Extermination Hall taught some of the Chen family's fist and leg techniques, which the clansmen could also practice.

Even Xiaoyu's side would give some body-strengthening pills to outstanding employees.

His wife had been awarded the title of outstanding employee and received some body-strengthening pills, which she gave all to her son. Anyway, her son said they were very effective.

My son already had good grades among the senior sports students at his school, and now after taking those body-strengthening pills, he says he'll definitely get first place in the next test.

In other words, this Body Tempering Pill is useful.

Other clansmen who received the Body Tempering Pill as a reward gave similar feedback.

So now all the clansmen know, and everyone is trying their best to get the Body Tempering Pill as a reward.

Of course, many clansmen had also practiced the Taoist palm and leg techniques taught by Chen Dagou, and they knew that those were not the true skills of the Chen family.

Now that Xiaoyu has publicly posted this announcement in the group, because of the need for martial arts training, the person she is looking for must be someone who can teach the real Chen-style kung fu, right?
Ideally, the child should be 16-18 years old and preferably involved in sports; his son perfectly fits the bill.

Without hesitation, he dialed his son's number immediately upon seeing the message, determined to get his son back within the next couple of days, no matter what.

Linhe County No. 5 Middle School ranks only third among high schools in Linhe County.

However, they rank first in the sports program, and No. 5 Middle School is always number one in the annual college sports league.

It even produced an Olympic gold medalist.

Therefore, many students who want to pursue a career in sports choose No. 5 Middle School, where many senior high school sports students receive training from physical education teachers on the playground every day.

Of course, some of them are genuinely talented and train hard, while others are just going through the motions. This latter group is quite common in every school and is generally disliked.

How should this group be evaluated?
It has a very bad reputation and tarnishes the reputation of sports students.

They're basically those middle and high school students who don't want to study properly, skip classes, and get into fights. They lie to their parents, saying they want to pursue sports, but actually they just want to avoid classes and homework.

As a result, he signed up for sports but didn't train properly every day. He still only knew how to sleep in class, smoke, drink, fight, hang out in the underworld, and find Xiao Mei.

The key is that people often cut in line at the cafeteria.

These people also think that ordinary students who study hard every day are idiots; they just don't know where their sense of superiority comes from.

In fact, these people have no idea that their so-called sense of superiority can only last for the last year of school. After high school, if they don't get a high score on the college entrance exam or fail the physical education test, they can only enter society and become trash.

Even if they barely pass the physical education exam, their habits will still negatively impact the image of physical education students when they enter university.

Chen Dao's grades weren't bad, just average. He discovered he had athletic talent and wanted to get into a better school through sports.

Therefore, I really dislike these people, especially a few who don't train properly and instead gather together to smoke, acting all high and mighty and bullying ordinary students.

He really doesn't care about these people. Many classmates know that he is from the Chen family, and these people are very timid in front of him.

"Chen Dao, come over here for the 100-meter test!" a physical education teacher called out from the other side.

Chen Dao responded and quickly ran over to greet the physical education teacher: "Teacher Wu."

When Teacher Wu saw him coming over, she reminded him, "Chen Dao, both of them broke 12.55 seconds today, you should keep it up too."

You can tell he's in a good mood. He broke 12 seconds, which is a Level 55 standard, showing he has talent.

School has just started, and once he completes his training until next year's physical education exam, it shouldn't be difficult for him to reach the Level 2 standard.

If Chen Dao can also achieve that, and if one of the three talented students can be trained to reach the highest level, it would also benefit him.

With a few connections, I might be able to get a job at the city sports center, which would be much better than being a PE teacher here.

"Okay, Teacher Wu." Chen Dao was still somewhat expectant.

After taking the body-strengthening pills my parents gave me last time, I clearly felt that my physical condition had improved during this period, especially after exercising these past two days, I feel much better.

His previous test result was around 12.55 seconds, and now he feels he can get it.

After getting ready, he dashed out at the sound of the teacher's gunshot and sprinted across 100 meters with all his might.

Teacher Wu checked the statistics immediately and then his face lit up with surprise: "Chen Dao, not bad, 12.22 seconds, better than both of them."

His eyes lit up. Chen Dao had made tremendous progress. With this kind of improvement, after the remaining training in his senior year, reaching the level two standard would definitely be no problem.

Chen Dao was also pleasantly surprised by the results, knowing that it was all thanks to the Body Tempering Pills his parents had given him.

This elixir from our family is truly a treasure.

It's a pity that this item is very precious within the family, and not everyone can get it every month.

Just then, his phone rang. Seeing it was his father, he immediately answered, "Dad!"

As soon as Chen Xing answered the phone, he said, "Son, check the family group chat and ask for leave to go back to the family for two days. Maybe you'll have a chance to learn the family's martial arts."

Chen Dao was taken aback when he heard this. He naturally knew that his family had real skills. The family's Uncle Big Dog and Uncle Shuisheng were very skilled and were regarded as masters by people online.

As someone his age, he greatly admired these kinds of kung fu, and he even learned some of the palm techniques taught by Uncle Big Dog.

However, these are just like the dance techniques described online; they are not the family's actual martial arts skills at all.

But everyone in the family knows that those who are not from the main family or the main lineage are not qualified to learn the family's true skills.

Does Dad mean that other members of the family will also have the opportunity to learn real kung fu?
He immediately checked the family group chat and saw the announcement posted by Sister Xiaoyu. He then trembled with anticipation and hurriedly returned to the classroom to get paper and pen to write a leave request.

...

Time flies, and a day passes quickly.

The next day, after Chen Han finished cultivating in the special spiritual cave, he went to his uncle's kitchen to prepare medicinal food when his junior sister came to visit him.

However, she seemed a little uneasy today.

This behavior means either he's done something wrong, or he needs something from him.

"What's wrong? Just say it." Chen Han knew his junior sister well, so he asked first to avoid her beating around the bush.

"Senior brother, didn't you tell me to find someone between 16 and 18 years old, preferably someone who has trained in sports?" Xiaoyu said, taking out two files from behind her back. "Well... I just selected one more... Many people from the family reported that they were suitable. I looked at them and found that these two are suitable. I rejected the others for now and told them to wait for a later opportunity."

Chen Han took the two documents and began to read them.

The two people my junior sister chose were named Chen Dao, who was still studying at Linhe County No. 5 Middle School. He had athletic talent and happened to be training in track and field, which perfectly met his requirements.

In key high schools, if a student trains in sports, especially in the 100-meter sprint, and meets the first-tier standard, the school will recommend them to the city level. If they break a city record, they'll be recommended directly to the province level... It's a continuous upward push, and these are all achievements in sports for each region. If they can win medals in international competitions or even the Olympics, it will benefit all the regions that make the recommendations.

Of course, this only applies to track and field, especially the 100-meter dash.

I won't go into the other projects; those who know, know.

At Chen Dao's current age, top universities would extend offers to him directly.

Anyway, you can choose any university. If you win a medal, the university you chose will rehire you as a teacher. Of course, with the Chen family, there's no need for these universities to rehire you.

Chen Han looked at another document and realized why his junior sister was so flustered when she came in—it was a girl's name.

Her name is Chen Linlin.

She was also a senior high school girl with mediocre grades. Her information stated that the main reason for her poor grades was due to family circumstances and the limited teaching resources in the town's schools, resulting in a weak foundation in her studies.

Originally, her family only planned to let her finish high school and then go out to work, because her family was indeed poor and her partner had a younger brother who was still in school.

My family is poor, and my parents rely entirely on their jobs to support me. They can't afford to send me to school.

Things are different now. My parents have returned to their hometown to work, and my grandparents also have jobs. In addition, we provide a feng shui-themed room for tourists every day, so our family is now wealthy and has money.

Therefore, the parents' mindset has changed. Even if her grades are bad, they can repeat a year. The key is that this child has worked since she was a child and has a good physique. Sports is also a way out.

Anyway, it's no longer possible to work outside of high school.

Clearly, parents' attitudes toward their children often change depending on the family situation and the extent to which the parents can support them.

Take schooling for example. In the past, there was really no other way. Parents were all working and could only support one child to go to university. They definitely favored boys over girls. In addition, the girl's grades were not good, so they thought that she could just finish high school.

Now that people have money, they have more to think about. They feel that it's definitely not good for girls to just finish high school and enter the workforce. If they have the means, they want their children to get a university degree.

Having a diploma is important, not necessarily for making a lot of money, but at least it gives you more options.

Chen Han was pleased with this, as he had at least improved his family's situation in this respect, which gave him some sense of accomplishment.

Xiaoyu was afraid that her senior brother would disagree, so she didn't forget to play the victim for the girl: "Chen Linlin is also very hardworking. She had a hard time before. When she was studying, she had to help take care of her younger brother and do chores. Her grades fell behind a lot. Now her family is willing to let her study. Practicing sports is also a way out. Practicing martial arts will definitely be tough."

Chen Han smiled. His junior sister clearly had ulterior motives. Either she had some interaction with Chen Linlin before, or she wanted to choose a girl to mentor herself.

Of course, there are other possibilities as well.

But has this junior sister forgotten that the "Tai Xu Chasing Wind Leg" was originally meant to be taught to other clansmen? Anyone can learn it in the future, but to achieve results, one needs to rely on Body Tempering Pills.

You'll have to make contributions to your family to get the Body Tempering Pill.

As for what constitutes a contribution, a charter can be drafted later, stipulating that even if a child of the same age gets first place in the final exam, they can be rewarded with a Body Tempering Pill.

Alternatively, you can receive Body Tempering Pills if you offer suggestions for the family's development and they are adopted.

Therefore, it's not a big deal that my junior sister is willing to choose another girl from the clan.

After all, the 100-meter race includes both men and women.

However, he naturally said this to his junior sister: "Junior sister, originally I only wanted to find a boy to teach the 'Tai Xu Chasing Wind Leg' with Da Long for an experiment, but since you have chosen someone, your senior brother will definitely give you face and ask for a month's leave for the two children first."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu's face lit up with a smile: "Thank you, Senior Brother. You're the best!"

The feeling of satisfaction was truly wonderful, and my pretty face was full of smiles.

Of course, after settling things with her senior brother, she didn't forget her main business. She immediately left her uncle's kitchen to find the parents of Chen Dao and Chen Linlin's child and tell them the news.

Furthermore, as my senior brother suggested, I need to ask for a month's leave for the two children to specifically study the "Tai Xu Chasing Wind Leg".

Upon receiving the news, Chen Xing excitedly said, "Xiaoyu, thank you so much, Master of the Family."

Xiaoyu quickly said, "Uncle Chen Xing, we're all family, no need to thank me. You should go to the school first to get Chen Dao the leave of absence. Just say you're going back to Chen's for training. If the school doesn't agree, let me know, and I'll contact the county."

This is really not a difficult matter for the Chen family, and the key is that the school will not make things difficult for them.

Now, who in Linhe County with even a little status doesn't know that the Chen family has a close relationship with the county, and people from Chu County often visit the Chen family?

If you need the county to call you just to ask for leave, then you have no sense of propriety.

"Yes, yes, I'll call the kid right away and then go to the county." Chen Xing said immediately. After Xiao Yu left, he also hurriedly called his son.

Linhe County No. 5 Middle School.

After taking leave yesterday, Chen Dao packed his things last night, preparing to return to the Chen family business today. Unexpectedly, he received a call from his father. Upon answering, he exclaimed excitedly, "You've been chosen? That's wonderful! We'll wait for you to come and complete the leave application process. Okay...okay..."

After hanging up the phone, he was so excited that he couldn't help but shout it out, attracting the attention of many students.

He soon met his father, and together they went to complete the leave application procedures. Since it was for sports, the first step was to get the physical education teacher's signature.

Teacher Wu was speechless: "Chen Dao, you have the best talent in this year's class. You will have no problem reaching the second level standard. You suddenly asked for a month's leave and said you wanted to go back to practice martial arts. Isn't this a waste of your talent?"

Chen Xing immediately explained, "Teacher Wu, we are from the Chen family, and our family teaches kung fu. The child must go back."

"The Chen family?" Teacher Wu was suddenly taken aback, then looked at Chen Dao in surprise: "The Chen family from Shangyuan Village?...Holy crap...Chen Dao, you're from that Chen family?"

He naturally knew about the Chen family of Shangyuan Village; he had seen their videos countless times and knew how skilled they were in martial arts.

He hadn't quite grasped what was going on when he mentioned martial arts, but now that he did, he was stunned and looked at Chen Dao with envy.

As Chinese people, who doesn't have a fascination with martial arts?
Then, he suddenly realized something: the Chen family had real martial arts skills, and it was rumored that the Chen family also needed to use medicinal diets to enhance their physique when practicing martial arts.

If his physical condition improves, then Chen Dao can run another 100 meters.

For a moment, his gaze toward Chen Dao was intense.

It can't be as he thinks, can it?
...

Chen family.

Since his junior sister had already found the right people, and the two children would be taught together with Chen Dalong when they returned, Chen Han went back to the courtyard after lunch and took out several jars of Thunder Bamboo Spirit Rat Bone Wine.

These wines have all fermented and already have a +2 attribute to leg muscle strengthening. They are intended for Chen Dalong and the other two to use in conjunction with their training of the "Tai Xu Chasing Wind Leg" technique.

The medicinal diet will not be provided for the time being.

However, higher-grade body-tempering pills still need to be refined, so he went to the spirit field to collect the medicinal herbs that had been repeatedly watered with spirit plant dew.

These medicinal herbs are now much more potent than those bought from pharmacies.

After gathering enough medicinal herbs, he took them back to his uncle's kitchen and used the liquefied gas stove and pressure cooker... no, it was the spiritual fire and spiritual pressure cauldron that refined a batch of body-tempering pills.

The Body Tempering Pills made from common medicinal herbs were of ordinary quality and had limited effects.

The quality of the Body Tempering Pills refined this time was significantly better.

[Body Tempering Pill (Good Quality): This is a good quality Body Tempering Pill. It has a special effect when used in conjunction with martial arts training: Increases physical fitness by +1!]

This time, the Body Tempering Pill has an attribute: +1 to physical fitness.

This also shows that the older these medicinal materials are, the better their effect in alchemy.

Therefore, by repeatedly watering those medicinal herbs with spiritual plant dew, they can be used to refine even better body-tempering pills in the future. At that time, the body-tempering pills will have several levels, making them easier to use as rewards.

After Chen Han refined all the collected medicinal herbs into Body Tempering Pills, he also put these things in his hall in advance so that he could take them out for Chen Dalong and the others to use later.

Suddenly, his cell phone rang. The number belonged to Li Rui, the captain of the criminal investigation team.

This made his eyes light up; those people must have been investigated and dealt with, so his task should be completed.

The call connected, and sure enough, Li Rui reported: "Patriarch Chen, the identities of those people have been confirmed, and the investigation has officially begun. I'm just letting you know."

This is a matter of politeness and social etiquette; otherwise, there would be no need to use the word "report".

However, Li Rui was well aware that there were far too many instances of this polite and socially adept behavior being genuinely observed.

"Thank you for informing me, Captain Li," Chen Han replied politely, without saying anything more. Both parties understood each other perfectly, and then they hung up the phone.

A moment later, a game notification appeared in Chen Han's mind:
[You have completed the task of exposing the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect and sweeping away the members of the Hehuan Sect and the Wutai Sect. The Shushan Immortal Sect is very satisfied with this. They also found the location of the Wutai Sect's headquarters by following the secret surveillance personnel of the Wutai Sect and discovered that a large number of demonic people have gathered there.]

The experts of the Immortal Alliance felt it was time to launch a demon-slaying operation.

Congratulations on obtaining the Shushan Immortal Sect's record: Qingluo Valley Demon Extermination Dungeon Map X1.

Upon seeing the mission reward, Chen Han immediately looked at his game inventory.

He remembered that completing this task would trigger the Demon Extermination quest, and the Green Snail Valley Demon Extermination dungeon map should be the key.

Moreover, this was the first time he had seen the word "dungeon" appear in the rewards.

Many games have dungeons, and it seems that the Shushan Swordsman game is no exception.

A dungeon is a special map where players can earn generous rewards by defeating bosses or completing specific tasks.

The key is Qingluo Valley.

This place is very famous in the novel "Shushan Swordsman" because chapters 74-94 of "Shushan Swordsman" are specifically about the battle between good and evil in Qingluo Valley.

Moreover, the battles here are different from the previous ones; they represent a major upgrade, moving from the swordsman stage to the sword immortal stage.

The battle was a very large-scale event.

Chen Han was curious. There was no Green Snail Valley in reality. Given the nature of the game system, it would definitely just randomly choose a place as Green Snail Valley.

So where will the game system place Green Snail Valley?
Could this be the place where those organizations are located?
That would be interesting.

You know, his current methods would definitely make him cannon fodder in the world of Shushan Swordsmen, but in reality, he believes he has the qualifications to be an ancestor.

But this qualification isn't something you can just decide to have; you have to demonstrate your abilities.

However, he doesn't seem to have the opportunity to fully showcase his talents in the country.

If things go as he thinks, then this Qingluo Valley demon-slaying instance might allow him to unleash his full potential and see what level of power he can achieve, Ancestor.

(End of this chapter)
