I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 298 A Horrific Tragedy! The Chen Clan's Prodigy Sets Off for Battle!
The woman who emerged from the end of the alley was quite old, looking to be in her forties or fifties. She was dressed in a plain Taoist robe, but her hair was completely white.

Huang Xin never expected that the woman he was dreaming about would be like this.

Moreover, the other person's attire suggests they are not a Taoist, but rather a lay Buddhist practicing Taoism.

"Greetings, Patriarch Chen." This female lay Buddhist ignored Huang Xin and gave Chen Han a standard Taoist salute, clearly indicating that she had been practicing Taoism for a long time.

Chen Han recognized her; she was the wife from his dream of the farmhouse he first met, only now she was very old.

So he asked the other person, "Are these your husband and daughter?"

"Master Chen has discerning eyes," the female lay Buddhist said with a slight sigh.

Huang Xin was dumbfounded.

He understood that the scene was that the husband had killed their daughter, and then she was keeping watch outside the alley while her husband disposed of their daughter's body.

The tourists who followed were also stunned, never expecting that they would encounter such an incomprehensible thing in their dream.

"Judging from the situation, you seem to be plagued by this nightmare?" Chen Han didn't rush to ask why, because he knew that he couldn't rush things in this situation.

The female lay Buddhist nodded and took the initiative to speak: "Master Chen, would you mind hearing a story?"

"Please speak, layman." Chen Han gestured for him to speak.

The female lay Buddhist seemed lost in memories, sighed and said, "Life was so good back then. In the countryside, we had a small courtyard. Although we weren't rich, my husband and I were hardworking and down-to-earth, and our daughter was well-behaved and sensible."

"She loves sitting on my lap and watching the stars together, and she also loves waiting for her dad to come home and bring her fruit every day."

"But people have desires. Seeing other villagers going to the city to make money, they want to follow suit and work hard in the city, starting by working for others and eventually saving money to start their own small businesses."

"We've made money, but we seem to have neglected our daughter's education. We've forgotten that she likes to sit on her mother's lap and look at the stars, and that she likes to wait for her father to come home. We've spent less and less time with her."

"Until one day, we discovered that our 16-year-old daughter had completely changed, to the point that we didn't recognize her anymore. She was hanging out with hooligans with shady hair and had even become friends with them."

"When the father caught her in a hotel room with the other man, he was furious and gave his daughter a severe dressing-down, but he didn't expect to be beaten up by his daughter's so-called boyfriend."

"Even the daughter didn't stop it. The father was beaten and hospitalized, breaking his ribs and lying in bed for a month, and the daughter didn't come to see him even once."

“From that time on, my father severed ties with his daughter. Even though she secretly stole the household registration book and married him without telling the family, my father didn’t care. He even took the initiative to remove his daughter’s name from the household registration book.”

“My father has actually seen through it all and realized that his life is pretty good. He doesn’t have to worry about his daughter, he can travel all over the country with his wife, and he can buy the car he likes.”

“But sometimes parents and children are a curse. The daughter and the man she married did not have good education, could not find a job, and the family was poor. Life quickly became unsustainable.”

"At her husband's urging, she started targeting her biological parents, pretending to be repentant and wanting to reconcile. She asked relatives and villagers to speak on her behalf, but her father saw through her. He knew that she only wanted his house, car, and more than 200 million yuan in savings."

"So, the father sold the house and the car, and donated more than 200 million yuan. He directly told his daughter and son-in-law that he did not want this daughter anymore and would rather donate the money than give it to them."

"But who would have thought that what he had painstakingly wanted would slip away, and his son-in-law would become enraged and attack again. This time, his father was also driven to desperation and killed his son-in-law and daughter with a fruit knife."

At this point, the female lay Buddhist began to sob silently, her face displaying an indescribable emotion that conveyed her helplessness, confusion, and despair.

Huang Xin had probably sorted things out by then.

It's basically about a family tragedy caused by parents neglecting their daughter in their pursuit of money, their obedient daughter being seduced by a young man with blond hair and becoming rebellious.

This is actually a very deep and common situation in today's society.

The blond hair has even become a deeply ingrained meme.

When people post pictures of their cute and beautiful daughters online, comments like "I wonder which blond guy will get lucky" or "This blond guy's next target" are bound to appear.

The so-called "yellow hair" refers to boys with low education levels who seem to be very successful and adept at navigating social situations.

The young girl was too young to understand things clearly. She didn't know that these people were nothing special, but she was easily fascinated by their江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) spirit and was even willing to wander the world with them.

This is an ignorant and ridiculous worldview, but it reflects the reality for many young girls.

Commonly known as: stupid.

These girls, selected by the "yellow-haired man," either end up being used for free and then taken advantage of by honest men, or they are tricked into going home and getting married by him, not only being given away for free but also falling out with their parents and ultimately suffering all the hardships of life.

The situation in this female lay Buddhist's home is truly an extreme case.

Out of a sense of duty, Huang Xin asked again, "Madam, what happened to your husband in the end?"

He sympathized with the other party in this case, but after all, it involved two lives. Regardless of right or wrong, in China, anything involving lives is a big deal.

The female lay Buddhist said with a sense of relief, "He stayed inside for more than ten years and passed away there recently."

“No wonder…” Huang Xin finally understood why the alley and buildings did not conform to modern conditions; it turned out to be something from more than ten years ago.

Then it'll be fine.

Tonight, I'll just come in to experience the amazing thing about the Chen family—being able to dream together—and listen to a heart-wrenching story.

This family was broken apart purely because of a blond guy.

"Layman, go to the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable Hall tomorrow and ask the Hall Master for a Tranquilizing Talisman. It will be of some help to you." Chen Han understood the situation and said this to the lady before exiting the 'Dream Realm'.

The other woman must have also received news of her husband's death inside, which triggered this horrific memory and ultimately led to her being plagued by nightmares.

Perhaps those who came to the Chen family heard of the Chen family's miraculous abilities and sought the method of liberation.

However, this method of offering incense or seeking guidance from Taoist practitioners is completely ineffective. On the contrary, a calming talisman can help her fall asleep peacefully and no longer be troubled by the nightmare.

Human memory has a limited lifespan. With the calming talisman for a year, her nerves will relax. As long as she isn't reminded of those things, she'll eventually let go of things that happened more than a decade ago.

Chen Han's sudden disappearance attracted the attention of Huang Xin and the surrounding tourists.

They had no idea how they did it.

At least they tried, and they didn't have that ability. They should have to wait until they woke up from their sleep to do it. As for how to wake up, they can study that later.

Just then, a beautiful figure rushed over; it was Chu Ruxue.

She kept saying that perseverance pays off, and she finally got in.

My best friend, however, is nowhere to be found.

But when she got closer and saw the familiar alley and the sobbing woman, she realized that she seemed to have missed something.

Fortunately, I had already met Officer Huang, so I hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Officer Huang, what happened? Can you tell me?"

...

Chen Han returned to the attic, took out his phone and sent a message to his aunt, telling her to give the female lay Buddhist a calming talisman when she came over tomorrow.

Afterwards, he also took out a primary spirit stone and began to cultivate using the "Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method".

The next day, the Chen family group chat became lively as the specialty products department began recruiting staff to produce new premium spirit tea.

The specialty products department has the highest salary among family positions, so naturally many family members compete for it and want to transfer from their current positions.

The family has been quite busy with job applications and interviews these past two days.

Similarly, the next day, sales links for Jingyi Lingcha were also posted on the Douyin Chen Family Tourism promotion account.

Including Leizhu Lingcha, only this account posts online shopping links and declares that other related online links are fake.

Naturally, while the game notes describe this Jingyi Lingcha as a medicinal tea, the word "medicine" cannot be used here; it can only be referred to as a specialty health tea.

in the country, the word "medicine" is a taboo word, and it has long been restricted from being used.

Someone online said that the only store that won't go out of business right now is a pharmacy.

A line from a recent movie, spoken by a drug dealer, is quite apt: 'Do you know how much these drugs cost to make? Eighty cents a pill, thirty pills a bottle, selling for at least 50 yuan a bottle—over 100% profit, and most importantly, it's legal.'

Therefore, no matter how effective Chen's spiritual tea is, they don't mention the word "medicine" to avoid attracting a foul odor.

Chen Han, on the other hand, had been cultivating.

However, when I took out my phone to check the data of my Douyin videos at night, I found that many people had tagged me in the Douyin backend.

"Patriarch Chen, is this true?"

"Patriarch Chen, as long as you say it's true, I will believe you."

"..."

Chen Han was puzzled. He clicked on it and found that a blogger named 'Ru Xue Ru Huan' had posted a video.

It seems to be the girl who called the police yesterday.

The other party is an employee of a design company. In addition to showcasing his design videos, he also likes to add an interesting story to the videos.

The reason everyone tagged him was because she posted a story about the Chen family today.

"Hello everyone, I am Ruxue. This is my second time visiting Chen's. I had already experienced the wonders of Chen's before, and this time I have personally witnessed them."

"This is a story with a touch of the supernatural. When I first arrived at the Chen family, I saw a video about how members of the Chen family could dream together."

"Many people online have probably seen this, but no one believes it. I can tell you here that it's true, and I can even tell you how it felt, like entering a virtual game."

"On my first night at the Chen family, my best friend and I had a dream together. We beat up a scumbag together, and then we accidentally stumbled upon a murder scene where someone was being murdered and dismembered. Of course, that was also a dream."

"The next day, I felt something was wrong. I confirmed with other tourists who had seen me in the dream that we had all had the same dream. Just to be on the safe side, we went to the police station together."

"After that, the head of the Chen family arrived. I guessed that he was there to deal with this matter, and that was indeed the case. That very night, the head of the Chen family had a dream."

"He's investigating what happened in that murder and dismemberment case. It turns out it was a case that happened more than ten years ago, and it all started with a rebellious girl and a blond guy..."

Later, the video recounted the story told by the female lay Buddhist in detail, including the outcome that the father killed his daughter and son-in-law and died in prison.

This video has been viewed by many people, and the data is already very high.

The main reason is that the story is really captivating, and the issue of blond hair is something that many parents are concerned about now.

Especially parents with daughters.

Chen Han frowned slightly. In fact, the more popular the video became, the more uncomfortable it would cause the female lay Buddhist.

But in the internet age, with the rise of self-media, there's nothing we can do about it.

However, that female lay Buddhist probably doesn't play Douyin (a type of Japanese vocal music), and even if she did, the chances of her coming across this video are probably slim.

The story in this video is well told and has even resonated with many people.

Nobody believed that they were dreaming together.

The video even gained popularity and attracted a video condemning the "snow-like and dreamlike" image.

The video was actually posted by a tourist from the Chen family, a video blogger named 'Hugs Are Big,' who specializes in making cosplay videos.

Now that she sees this 'snow-like and dreamlike' video gaining popularity, she obviously doesn't care anymore whether it's cosplay or not.

"Everyone has seen the story about the Chen family having dreams together. I happen to live in the Chen family's house as well, and I've been having quite a few dreams these past few days because of my mental state. I can tell you all here that the rumors about having dreams together are nonsense and have never happened."

"Therefore, I hope some bloggers will stop hyping this up, especially one blogger who actually used a real-life case for hype. This is extremely unethical and morally questionable." "Didn't she consider that so much time has passed since the case, and the family had already moved on? Bringing it up now is like rubbing salt into the wound. Even if it's for traffic, you can't resort to any means. I've already reported her."

Chen Han had to admit that this "hugs don't make you thin" thing was pretty impressive.

They directly stood on the moral high ground and then launched a critique of our values.

In this video, many people support him, and many of them are tourists who stayed at Chen's in the past two days. They said that dreaming together is not a thing, because they also dreamed and even posted photos of themselves at Chen's.

It can be described as one-sided.

This is the internet.

Sometimes, whether things online are true or false is not important; what matters is what most people choose to believe.

Compared to the fantastical story of 'like snow, like a dream,' no one would believe it.

The video posted by 'Hugs Don't Make You Slim' has a reason to go; it's morally high, and with so many tourists supporting it, people naturally choose to believe it.

It is not important that the fact is that only a few believers who can provide the power of their will can enter the 'dream state'.

This kind of thing happened repeatedly to the Chen family.

Even if most tourists come to Chenshi, they may not necessarily witness its wonders. For them, it's just a trip to a place with nice ancient architecture, fresh air, and a pleasant climate.

After returning home, most tourists will probably tell others, "Chen's environment is indeed nice, but as for those mysterious claims, they're all fake. Would I lie to you after going there?"

Chu Ruxue naturally saw the video as well, since many people were tagging her and criticizing her for being immoral and having warped values.

This made her so angry that she almost broke her nose, which she had paid for.

She's stating the facts, so why is she being labeled as having warped values, or being morally blackmailed?

The key issue is the current trend in popularity; her chances of winning are slim. Most importantly, Douyin's backend suddenly gave her a notification about censoring videos, and then her video disappeared.

This left her completely powerless.

The internet is truly rife with falsehoods; nobody believes the truth anymore.

...

The rapeseed flower field at Chen's farm was completely closed at that time.

All the rapeseed flowers turned into rapeseed.

Except for a small number of rapeseed seeds that were harvested, most of them were kept as seeds.

The Chen family and Liu Ye's rapeseed flower charity business has signed a cooperation agreement with Linhe County, and Linhe County will fully plant rapeseed flowers next season.

In Linhe County, all towns and villages with designated land are now diligently tilling the land and making preliminary preparations.

If it were any other agricultural project, no matter how much the county promoted it, the people of Linhe County wouldn't be so enthusiastic. But it's different with Chen's rapeseed flowers.

The allure of Chen's rapeseed flower sea is already evident. With so many people in the village planting together, they can promote it next year, and perhaps tourists will come to their village to see the flower sea.

In addition, the whole internet knows that the rapeseed flower field in the Chen family was created by that rich man Liu. Is it possible not to make money by working with him?
Especially considering the situation of rapeseed in China, there is no worry about sales. Rapeseed grows quickly, has a high yield, and a high oil content. It would be foolish not to plant it.

Everyone knows what the domestic economy is like now. There's a saying: yoga pants used to always go to the Yangtze River Delta region, but now they're always going abroad.

This kind of guaranteed-profit farming is extremely rare.

However, the Chen family members were all attracted by something else: Chen Dao and Chen Linlin were about to participate in the National Games.

This was a lively event for the Chen family.

The Chen family even prepared an outdoor screen to broadcast footage of Chen Dao and Chen Linlin's match, clearly wanting tourists to witness the prowess of their prodigy.

Chen Han was also going to watch the game.

Also accompanying them were Chen Dao and Chen Linlin's family members, and Director Zheng from the Sports Bureau provided them with plenty of tickets to watch the game.

Both Xiaoyu and Chen Xiaoyan were originally suitable to be team leaders, but Xiaoyu was busy with the large-scale rapeseed planting, and so was Chen Xiaoyan.

Therefore, Xiaoyu ultimately decided to let Xiaomi, who also wanted to watch the National Games, take over as the team leader for the Chen family.

Before the group set off, Xiaoyu reminded her, "Sister Xiaomi, please keep an eye on my senior brother. You know he's quite handsome, and he's almost 1000 million followers now. He also knows real kung fu. He'll definitely have a lot of girls eyeing him when he goes on a long trip."

"I know that many female internet celebrities will be showing off their tickets to watch the games at the National Games. If you run into them, don't let them add my contact information, lest they try to ride on my popularity."

"What if they want to join?" Xiao Mi could only ask this question. To be honest, if it really happened, she would see whether Chen Han would join or not.

When faced with this question, Xiaoyu said directly, "Then you should act as a shield for your senior brother, take his hand, and make them back down."

"I'll listen to you." Xiao Mi nodded seriously, thinking it was a great idea.

The group quickly boarded the car and headed to Qingmin City.

This National Games was being held in Hong Kong, so the Chen family and their entourage arrived in Qingmin City, where Director Zheng made arrangements.

Those selected from the city will also go there to meet up with the people from the provincial stadium.

Zheng Fei (Chapter 285) naturally did his best in arranging the Chen family's trip, and it could even be said that he was trying to please them.

After all, not only did her father entrust her with this task, but her grandfather and uncles also stayed at the Chen family's residence. Chen Dalong, Chen Dao, and Chen Linlin were truly treasures.

Perhaps the Chen family will have more talents like this in the future, which will be his future achievements. As long as Chen Dao and Chen Linlin achieve results, he can go to the provincial level next year.

It's a pity that Chen Dalong can't participate this time.

After all, if a bus crashes, you have to replace the athlete. If you do this to just one event like the 100-meter dash, everyone will turn a blind eye. You can't make every event this high.

However, the two prodigies from the Chen family were enough to shock the 100-meter track this time.

Chen Dao and Chen Linlin have already gone to the provincial capital. They have been undergoing special training and have been regarded by the province as the 100-meter ace, or two "big Ivans" in 100-meter track and field.

When the Chen family arrived in Hong Kong, the two of them were greeted by people from the Provincial Sports Bureau.

The two were very polite, first greeting Chen Han, the head of the family, respectfully before going to their parents' place to meet.

The schedule for this National Games is quite good.

In the 100-meter race, the men's race is divided into preliminary rounds, semi-finals, and finals, while the women's race is divided into preliminary rounds and finals.

The competition is usually held over two days. For men, the first day is the preliminary round and the second day is the final. For women, the first day is the preliminary round and the second day is the final.

The night passed, and the next morning were the men's and women's 100-meter preliminary rounds.

As the team leader of the Chen family, Xiao Mi naturally contacted the Sports Bureau early in the morning and went to the competition venue together.

Because the seats are located inside the sports bureau.

The provincial track and field team attaches great importance to Chen Dao and Chen Linlin. Before the start, not only does a special team help them relax their muscles, but professional coaches also give them instructions.

There were two leaders cheering him on, so even Zheng Fei, who wanted to go forward to offer encouragement, could only stand aside.

After all, this is a 100-meter track, unlike any other sport.

When Chen Dao and Chen Linlin saw the patriarch come down, they hurriedly got up and respectfully greeted Chen Han: "Patriarch."

"Compete well today, don't let the Chen family's reputation be diminished." Chen Han instructed the two men, who nodded vigorously.

Zheng Fei then brought over the two provincial sports leaders to greet Chen Han, and both leaders were very polite.

Because they had also done their research and knew that the Chen family was quite powerful, able to produce three outstanding talents in one go. Could they produce three more?
Chen Han exchanged pleasantries with the two men, and then followed the provincial sports officials to the competition venue.

Upon arrival, Chen Dao and Chen Linlin each joined a team and headed to different tracks.

Chen Dao naturally went to the men's 100-meter track for the test.

In the National Games 100-meter dash, each province has 3 participants, and he is joined by 2 other participants, who were originally substitutes.

Because the bus crashed and some participants were injured, replacements were made to take their place. However, because Chen Dao was to fill in, another replacement was also injured.

In the end, Chen Dao and two weaklings were chosen to take their place in the competition.

Chen Dao was quickly taken to the testing area. After his blood was drawn, he saw a group of participants from other provinces gathered together.

They're all in the same system, so they obviously know each other.

Chen Dao and the two substitutes were participating for the first time, which attracted the attention of others and sparked discussion.

"Have you heard? A bus crashed in Fujian province, and all the participants were injured."

"This has been widely known for a while, so we can only choose two substitutes and one to make up the numbers."

"I didn't expect someone just there to make up the numbers to be so young, a high school student, right?"

"..."

Chen Dao's age clearly attracted everyone's attention, and he was naturally considered a filler.

Just then, a handsome man walked out, and everyone looked at him with respect.

Chen Dao could tell that the respect these contestants had for this man was very sincere; the man was none other than Su Shen, who had set a record of 9.83 seconds in China.

This was also the opponent's last official match; after that, he would truly retire completely.

Ironically, the god is already in his twilight and has fallen into desolation, and there is not a single person to take over his throne.

But Chen Dao understood at this moment that in this arena, strength is everything. As long as he can break the opponent's record, everyone will respect him in the same way.

Su Shen also saw Chen Dao; there was nothing he could do, a high school student was too young.

He had naturally heard about the provincial team bus crash, and in the end, he just randomly found someone to fill in, but he didn't expect it to be a young man.

Su Shen looked at Chen Dao and comforted him, "Being able to stand on this track is enough to prove your excellence. Don't care what others say. Whether you're just there to make up the numbers or not, you'll only know after you've run it. Youth is your asset."

Speaking of his youth, he also felt a little melancholy. His era had ended, but after a lifetime of striving in this arena, he had never seen anyone surpass him, which was his biggest regret.

He really wants domestic athletes to have a place on the 100-meter track.

Chen Dao was taken aback by Su Shen's comfort. He could clearly feel the other party's sincerity, and even a sense of melancholy.

He was naturally clever and seemed to have guessed what the other person was thinking. He shouted directly at the other person, "Su Shen, this is your last match. I will defeat you and let you retire without regrets."

"Huh??" Su Shen was clearly stunned, looking at the young figure in front of him in surprise.

A burst of laughter erupted from all around, and each contestant looked at Chen Dao with a mocking expression.

That's Su Shen, even if he's about to retire, not just anyone can surpass him. This time, his opponent will definitely get a medal too.

A young man brought in just to make up the numbers is overestimating himself.

Su Shen glanced at those people, and after they wisely shut up, he smiled and said to Chen Dao, "Good luck!"
