I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 295 Summoning Banner: Let's play together in the dream world! Another Hundred Flowers Palace quest!
When Chen Han saw that the Soul-Summoning Banner was actually a computer in the cave on that island, he felt that the game system was too abstract.

Who knew that the Soul-Summoning Banner given as a reward for completing this quest instance would also be from this computer?

He suspected that the game system might be missing game data and had simply requisitioned materials from wherever it was available.

This possibility is extremely high.

This isn't the first time the game system has done something like this; they even plagiarized the scripts for his videos before.

However, when he looked at the game inventory, he was surprised to see the notes on the Soul-Summoning Banner.

【Special Soul-Summoning Banner (Upgradeable): This is a special magic weapon that was crafted over a hundred years by extraterrestrial demonic forces. It was originally intended to control the powerful figures in the Central Plains, but the Shu Mountain Immortal Alliance led a force to break into the place where it was crafted, and the Soul-Summoning Banner was destroyed.

Later, it was re-refined by a master from Mount Shu, but it lost its original ability to summon souls and became of little use. It was then given as a reward to the Chen family, who had made a great contribution.

However, when this soul-summoning banner was delivered to the Chen family, it seemed to attract the attention of the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable, who bestowed upon it a divine light, making the soul-summoning banner special once again.

Special Rule Attribute: Dream Realm (When devout believers rest at the Chen family's residence and a dream occurs, the dream will be summoned by a special soul-summoning banner, entering the 'Dream Realm'.)
Upgrade requirements: 1. Void Stone. 2. 10 Wishes.

Usage requirements: Activate the Soul-Summoning Banner and connect it to a sufficient energy source to operate it!

Chen Han carefully studied the notes.

This means that after he completed his mission, the Shushan Immortal Alliance casually bestowed this Soul-Summoning Banner upon him, but the key point is that this thing is useless.

Isn't this a bit of a perfunctory approach?
Fortunately, the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable was interested in this thing and bestowed upon it a divine light, giving it special attributes.

Putting everything else aside, even in the game's storyline, he would never follow the people behind the Shushan Immortal Alliance, but would firmly follow the Demon-Slaying Celestial Venerable.

The Shushan Immortal Alliance was formed after the Long-Browed Ancestor ascended to heaven, gaining a powerful backer in the heavens. The Demon-Slaying Celestial Venerable is no weaker than their backer, and the other party may not even be as powerful as the Demon-Slaying Celestial Venerable.

Why go far away when you can't find something near?

From now on, the Chen family will be loyal followers of the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Venerable.

However, the fact that this special attribute belongs to the 'Dream Realm' made him think about it carefully.

Does this mean that any devout believer who can offer their vows at the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable Hall can be summoned by this Soul-Summoning Banner and enter the 'Dream Realm' while Chen is sleeping and dreaming?
It's just that without experiencing it firsthand, it's a bit hard to understand what it means.

We'll have to study this later.

However, this special soul-summoning banner is an upgradeable magic item, but the upgrade requirements left him a bit confused.

He had no idea what the Void Stone was, and had never seen one drop so far.

And then there's this 10 vows.

Over this period of time, the number of tourists visiting the rapeseed flower fields has increased significantly, and a new square has been opened near the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Venerable Temple so that all tourists can offer incense.

But so far, his vow power is only a little over 3.

The 10 units of willpower required for the upgrade have not yet been met, and we still need to find ways to increase the amount of willpower available for further upgrades.

Therefore, upgrading this special soul-summoning banner is not necessary for the time being.

But the conditions for using it, activating the special soul-summoning banner, should be turning on the computer, right?
The source of power that can enable the soul-summoning banner to function should be the plug, right?

With that in mind, Chen Han simply placed the special soul-summoning banner in the room where the dungeon teleportation array was located.

Anyway, no one uses this room.

As soon as Chen Han had a thought, the special soul-summoning banner shaped like a computer appeared in the room.

He simply moved the item to the plug and then plugged it in.

The computer is already assembled; there's no need for him to assemble it himself. He can just start it up.

However, the startup process of this computer is completely different from that of a regular computer.

When a normal computer starts up, code flashes on the screen. But when this computer starts up, the screen flashes with dense, intricate patterns.

After that, instead of a window like "win 13", a picture of the deity of the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable appeared, exactly the same as the deity in the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable's main hall.

This……

Finally, the computer... the special soul-summoning banner has been activated.

However, the screen of this special soul-summoning banner was completely black, with only flowing runes, giving it a very mysterious feel.

But then a game hint popped into my head again:
[Congratulations on successfully activating the special Soul-Summoning Banner! You can view information about the banner through the game panel on your mind's visual screen!]

Chen Han looked at the light screen in his mind and, sure enough, information about the special soul-summoning banner appeared.

There is also a special attribute rule above: 'Entering the Dream Realm'.

As he focused his attention on this dreamlike realm, a game prompt appeared:

[When you are asleep or in a meditative state, you can enter the 'dream realm'!]

Does this mean that while others can only be passively summoned by the special soul-summoning banner when they are dreaming, he, as the owner of this magical artifact, can enter this 'dream realm' on his own?
This made him eager to try it out.

I checked the dungeon teleportation array and saw that the Extraterrestrial Demon Island dungeon was also refreshing.

This puzzled him, as the island would likely be discovered by the domestic authorities soon, and the extraterrestrial demonic forces would probably be unable to cause trouble there anymore.

How do you refresh the dungeon in that case?

After leaving the room, I locked the door immediately.

This room holds many secrets, from dungeon portals to special summoning banners.

Although others can't use this thing and won't react to it, it's better to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Back in his room, he sat cross-legged and began circulating the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method," quickly entering a meditative state.

The game notification just had to appear at this exact moment:
[Do you wish to enter the 'Dream Realm'?]

It seems like they are in two different states, and their cultivation is not affected.

He chose to enter directly.

The next moment, he felt his thoughts and thinking being pulled and drawn in a special way, and then he found himself in a strange scene.

The air was filled with a misty, dreamlike atmosphere, yet there was nothing around, as if it were a desolate and empty space, making it impossible to gaze at it for long.

Yet he could control his movements; even though there was nothing beneath his feet, he seemed to be able to walk on it.

This feeling is very strange.

He roughly understood that the original attribute of this soul-summoning banner was to summon a person's soul into an illusion. Now, this special soul-summoning banner had mutated, and this dream realm should also be a type of illusion.

It's because of the game system's attribute rules that this illusion is too real, rather than the simple illusion that occurs after eating fungi.

Just as Chen Han was feeling sentimental, he suddenly saw a scene appear in front of him.

As they walked forward, the surroundings changed, revealing themselves to be the Chen family's territory.

Moreover, right in front of us is my junior sister's pavilion.

After that, he felt he saw an extremely shocking scene: he saw himself in his junior sister's courtyard.

He and his junior sister were holding hands and practicing swordsmanship together.

It was a very slow, gentle, and tender sword technique.

Like the kind in the movies.

The key point is that when he and his junior sister were practicing swordsmanship, countless rose petals fell from the sky, creating what seemed like a very romantic scene.

Chen Han opened his mouth, seemingly understanding; this was his junior sister's dream.

This is the dream...

It seemed that his arrival had disturbed his junior sister's dream, and she was clearly stunned.

Then she saw the old Taoist priest standing outside.

Which ancestor was this?

She hurriedly bowed, completely bewildered by what had happened.

She remembered lying down to sleep in her room, and that she seemed to have dreamed about her senior brother. Looking at her senior brother beside her, she was stunned. Was this a dream?
She wanted to go forward and ask what was going on, but when she gently lifted her foot, she found that her body was very light and she floated up, as if experiencing a special feeling of weightlessness.

Moreover, she discovered that a tourist was flying across the street from the courtyard, his back to the ground and his limbs up, as if something was chasing him. It was a demonic figure carrying an axe.

Chen Han saw it too.

Is this a tourist's dream, being chased by the demonic shadow of the Chen family?

The key point is that the way the other person flew was very similar to how he dreamed of flying with light-body skills before he started training. It was a bit bizarre and a bit funny.

Do you all dream of flying like this?
The tourists seemed to have spotted him and shouted, "Taoist priest, save me!"

Then, the other party flew past him, and the demonic shadow chased after it.

That wasn't all. Suddenly, at the end of the street, a figure in a Taoist robe appeared, riding on a bull. It was a lucky omen. Tourists were filming videos on both sides.

"This is the head of the Li family, he's so handsome."

"Patriarch Li, I love you!"

"..."

This left Chen Han and Xiao Yu looking at each other in bewilderment.

"What is he doing?" Xiaoyu asked in confusion.

Chen Han was embarrassed.

This is because a devout believer admired him and dreamed that he was him.

The key point is, this tourist is really lucky. Seriously, what do you mean lucky? It has thick, long, flowery lips, just like a donkey's.

But when the tourist saw that he had dismounted from the ox, he immediately knelt down before him and cried out, "Ancestor!"

"..." Chen Han was speechless.

At this moment, he also understood that entering the dream realm was about bringing the dreams of these devout believers to one place and then connecting the dreams online. He also observed carefully and found that apart from his junior sister and the tourists who were dreaming and very lively, the other characters appearing in the dreams, including his junior sister's dream version of him and the tourists, were all somewhat numb, like NPCs in some games.

"Master, save me!" The tourist, who was still floating in the dream world using his light-footed skills, floated over again, and the demonic figure continued to chase and slash at him.

Seeing this scene, Chen Han thought of something: what if a devout tourist was having a nightmare, the kind of nightmare where someone attacks indiscriminately?
As Chen Han was thinking, he suddenly noticed that black mist was swirling around him, and thick fog appeared. Then he saw something jumping around in the fog.

"???" Chen Han was speechless. In a place where the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable was worshipped, a devout believer dreamed of zombies attacking the city.
What's the logic behind this?
"Holy shit, a zombie..." A familiar voice rang out behind Chen Han.

He turned his head and saw Uncle Big Dog dressed as a giant, with Big Dragon shirtless next to him, wearing a world champion gold belt around his waist.

Clearly, Uncle Big Dog was also dreaming, dreaming that Da Long won the world championship belt.

This giant dragon was naturally a dream NPC that appeared in Uncle Big Dog's dream, lacking any spirituality.

"Hey, ancestor, I've finally met you!" Chen Dagou seemed to have discovered a new continent, looking at him with surprise and joy, almost kneeling down in excitement.

At this moment, the zombies also revealed themselves, with blue faces and fangs, dressed in Qing Dynasty official robes, just like the ones in Uncle Nine's movies.

A middle-aged tourist was running ahead, shouting frantically. He was speechless. He just liked old movies and had watched Uncle Nine's movie before going to bed. Who knew he would dream about something like this?

He ran for ages without seeing a single person, but a horde of zombies was chasing him. Suddenly, he saw so many kind people ahead of him and shouted a warning: "Zombies!"

Then, complete chaos ensued.

For example, the dream NPCs that appear in each dream, such as the group of tourists in the Li family head's dream, suddenly scattered and fled.

Many were captured by zombies in the blink of an eye.

Before long, a zombie approached Chen Han and the others. Chen Dagou rushed out and punched the zombie. Unexpectedly, his punch sent the zombie flying into the air.

This made him shout excitedly.

Seeing this, Xiaoyu tried to imitate her and went up to attack, but her body floated up lightly. She chased after a zombie, but her body felt weightless and she couldn't touch it.

This……

The most interesting one was the one being chased by the shadowy figure. At that moment, the shadowy figure actually started helping him cut down zombies.

It's completely illogical.

But in dreams, many things are illogical.

Chen Han saw a zombie rushing towards him, so he waved his hand and slapped the zombie away.

...

The next day, the alarm clock rang, and Chen Han woke up from his cultivation with a strange expression on his face.

What a strange experience! I spent the whole night fighting zombies.

'Entering the Dream Realm' is quite interesting.

Connecting dreamers' dreams online is much more fun than dreaming alone.

He did think that this special soul-summoning banner could be upgraded, but he didn't know what would happen to the dream-based online experience after the upgrade.
Chen Han thought for a moment, then got up and looked at the insect puppet in the bottle. After the runes were completely integrated into the skin, it looked even more textured.

Now we just have to see when it spins its silk, becomes a pupa, and then transforms into a butterfly.

Go downstairs, collect the Moon Gazing Sand first, then take the little white rabbit out and ride the auspicious horse to the special spiritual cave.

As soon as he arrived, he heard his junior sister and Uncle Big Dog having a lively discussion.

"Little Mi, let me tell you, in my dream, I chased zombies for ages but couldn't catch them, and then I just drifted away..." Xiao Yu described vividly, gesturing with her hands.

Chen Dagou was also full of excitement: "I sent a zombie flying with one punch."

These words left Chen Lin, Chen Shuisheng, and Xiao Mi all looking incredulous.

Chen Lin asked in surprise, "Xiaoyu, Dagou, you mean you had the same dream, were besieged by zombies, and fought zombies all night?"

“Yeah,” Chen Dagou nodded and said, “It was impossible to finish the fight. I was so exhausted. Luckily, it was just a dream. Xiaoyu was also in my dream.”

Xiaoyu nodded in agreement: "That's right, Uncle Big Dog was there too. We even had the same dream, fighting zombies together. It's amazing..."

Upon seeing Chen Han arrive, Chen Dagou suddenly said to him, "Xiao Han, you were also by Xiao Yu's side in my dream last night, and you were fighting zombies too. We had the same dream."

Chen Han was stunned. Last night he was in the form of an old Taoist priest. He realized that he was the same person he had been practicing the Tender Love Sword with his junior sister in her dream.

He asked, his face full of confusion, "What dream? What about fighting zombies?"

Xiaoyu's face clearly showed embarrassment upon hearing this. It seemed that the senior brother was someone she had dreamed about, or perhaps he was also in her dream.

But she couldn't say that.

Xiao Mi noticed her unusual expression and seemed to understand: "Oh, Xiao Yu, you were just teasing us with Uncle Big Dog. Your expression gave it away."

"Tch." Chen Lin shook his head directly: "Big dog, this isn't fun at all."

"???" Chen Dagou was stunned.

What the hell?

He's telling the truth.

The time for the overflow of energy was probably approaching, but he had no time to worry about it. He immediately sat down cross-legged, as cultivation was the most important thing.

Chen Han began to refine and absorb the spiritual energy that had entered his body. His junior sister and uncle had already left. Only then did the group successfully guide their true energy into their dantian. The amount of spiritual energy absorbed each time was limited, so the refining and absorption were also faster.

However, a string of elm seeds on the ground caught his attention. He picked them up and added them to his game inventory.

This is not the season when elm seeds grow.

However, after the effects of the (Hundred Flowers Sweet Rain Talisman) last time, these three old elm trees bloomed out of season and produced elm seeds.

The three old elm trees are huge, and many people don't know much about elm seeds, so even though many tourists come to see these three old elm trees, they don't pay much attention to them.

[Special Elm Seeds (Unripe): This is a cluster of unripe elm seeds that was blown down by the wind.]

Seeing this, Chen Han rode Youfu back to the yard first, released the little white rabbit, and then went to his uncle's kitchen to prepare medicinal food.

After preparing the medicinal meal, he also took out his phone to check the trending news in Douyin today. The most talked-about topic today was still about 50.

The "Hacker God" strikes for the third time, arresting a bunch of Western-worshipping lackeys!

Chen Han felt that the term "foreign-worshipping dog" was quite apt. The list on the internet had not been suppressed, and reports from various places were still about the arrest of 50 people.

The news was very exciting, especially when several university professors were arrested and students threw eggs at them; the scene was quite tragic.

Clearly, this news has no impact on the officials; on the contrary, it can thoroughly purge these Western-worshipping lackeys, which is something they are happy to see happen.

Most importantly, who dares to touch this?
If even one person dares to speak up and say they want to suppress it, then it might involve a matter of 50.

...

Another piece of news is about Chen's rapeseed flowers. COFCO Oils & Fats issued an announcement that it will jointly launch this promotion project with Linhe County and Liu Dafuhao, and there will be policy support.

This has brought Chen's rapeseed flowers back into the spotlight. After all, most people are indignant because they know that China relies on imports for most of its rapeseed and has been tricked as a result. Now that they know Chen's rapeseed flowers can change the situation, their "spiritual shareholders" are even more excited.

However, Chu Ping and Zheng Ruixin were not able to remain calm, because they knew that the Chen family had seized several 50 yuan and handed them over to Linhe County, and then in the blink of an eye, all the information about those 50 yuan was spread online.

Does this look familiar?

The same thing happened the previous two times. Someone provoked the Chen family, and then the old Taoist priest of the Chen family protected his own, resulting in bloodshed that was unknown to outsiders.

They could almost all guess that the old Taoist priest had revealed the 50 yuan, and with this information, the bloodshed was bound to be significant.

After all, it's easy to understand what kind of forces possess this kind of information.

This only further demonstrates that the old Taoist priest of the Chen family was truly vengeful and dared to take action against any force.

We can't afford to offend them...

We absolutely cannot afford to offend them...

Besides these two news items, Chen Han was also surprised to see a news item about the Chen family.

You would never guess, but I and several other tourists had the same dream at Chen's place; our dreams seemed to have merged.

"At first, I was the only one in the dream, being chased by the demonic shadows of the Chen family. Later, the old Taoist priest from the Chen family appeared in the dream for no apparent reason. Then, other tourists appeared in my dream, but I didn't know any of them at all."

"The key thing is that I recognized them the next day, and they recognized me too, and then I realized that I had the same dream as them."

"Can you believe it? You usually don't remember the specifics of a dream when you wake up, but we can actually remember being chased by zombies together. Isn't that amazing?"

Chen Han hadn't expected these tourists to verify it in this way.

But nobody believes such a miraculous thing; just look at the comments section.

"Here we go again. Who believes that anymore!"

"That's right, everyone knows that Liu Dafuhao was behind all of this."

"Stop posting these kinds of videos to ride the wave of trending topics. Not only will no one believe them, but they're also utterly nonsensical!"

"..."

Chen Han smiled and put down his phone. Because of this special soul-summoning banner, the Chen family now had another legend that only those who personally visited the Chen family and experienced it could believe.

Just as he was thinking, a game notification suddenly appeared that startled him:

The fairy of the Hundred Flowers Palace seems to have something on her mind. She has a wish she wants you to help her fulfill!

Please help the Fairy of the Hundred Flowers Palace fulfill her wish, and you will receive a special Hundred Flowers Palace gift pack.

Chen Han was taken aback.

Currently, within the Chen family, there is only one fairy from the Hundred Flowers Palace, and that is Xiao Mi.

Why did Xiao Mi suddenly have a wish?

Is it...
