I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 328 This math is really amazing! Fierce and evil!
As the Taoist priests went to the Chen family, many tourists took pictures of them.

This also increased the news coverage of the Chen family's main deployment.

Even the number of tourists visiting the Chen family has surged, with many specifically taking photos of the Taoist priests who come to the Chen family.

Along with these Taoist priests came batches of feng shui stones, which were all piled up at the foot of the mountain to the north.

Similarly, Chen's Craft Hall has also found a construction team and started construction.

This has attracted the attention of many tourists, and many people are taking pictures here.

Inside the room, Chen Han sat in front of a laptop and opened a 3D drawing software.

He was drawing a diagram, naturally a three-dimensional representation of the maze.

Fortunately, he had learned this skill before.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to draw out the complete Bagua distribution, let alone mark the path of each point, as well as the positions of the flowers, plants, and piles of rocks that need to be matched with the variables.

Moreover, and very importantly, there are sensor devices that help tourists.

These devices are quite expensive, and they need to be installed at specific points determined by the numbers derived from the Eight Trigrams and the Book of Changes.

It took a lot of time to draw this diagram.

After finally finishing the drawing, he went to Chen Xiaoyan and printed out more than a dozen copies.

He handed several copies to Chen Xiaoyan: "Sister Xiaoyan, these are the blueprints for the maze project. You can keep one copy for your records, and give the rest to the workshop. I'll send you the original data later. If you need more, you can print it yourself."

“Okay,” Chen Xiaoyan replied immediately.

Afterwards, Chen Han took the printed blueprints to a side hall of the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Venerable's main hall.

This is the place where we had our feng shui exchange last time; the feng shui arrangements from that exchange haven't been removed yet.

When he entered, the room was extremely lively, with Taoist priests holding books or using their phones to look at things and discussing them.

“The evolution of the I Ching can indeed be represented mathematically,” Master Qingwei said with certainty.

“That’s true, but we’re not very familiar with mathematics and we can’t express it accurately,” another Taoist priest agreed.

When a Taoist priest saw Chen Han enter, he immediately greeted him, "Patriarch Chen has arrived. We can ask him some questions."

Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to Chen Han.

Master Xuan pulled Chen Han over directly: "Patriarch Chen, why don't you come and talk to us about the relationship between the numbers derived from the Eight Trigrams and the Book of Changes and mathematics? We really don't understand this aspect."

“Yes, I’m starting to learn math now, but I can’t understand it right away,” a Taoist priest immediately chimed in.

Chen Han did not refuse the Taoist priests' requests. He walked to the table in the middle and picked up a piece of white paper and a pen.

Then he started writing on it.

The first is the relationship between the octal mathematical system and the eight trigrams and the I Ching.

The pairing of those progressive numbers with the numbers derived from the Eight Trigrams and the Book of Changes made these Taoist priests feel as if they had opened up a new world.

But they still couldn't understand it.

Actually, these octal numbers are not difficult to understand. Anyone who has studied high school math and paid attention in class can usually find the pattern. Then, with some knowledge of the I Ching and the Eight Trigrams, they can perform number pairing.

It's a pity that these Taoist priests didn't have much knowledge of mathematics.

Some of them even attended Taoist academies and learned a little bit of mathematics, but that was only basic, and they've completely forgotten it by now.

Some Taoist priests have never studied mathematics in a specialized way, and their mathematical knowledge is only enough for daily life.

Therefore, this octal math problem is like a foreign language to them.

When Chen Han wrote down the binomial theorem, they were completely dumbfounded.

What is (a+b)^n?

What does it mean that when n=0, (a+b)^0 = 1, which corresponds to Tai Chi? What is all this nonsense?
Also, when n=1, (a+b)^1 = a + b, how does that correspond to the two polarities?

This……

Master Qingwei and his fellow practitioners suddenly felt that they had fallen behind.

Indeed, this is even more difficult than studying ancient Taoist scriptures.

Anyway, when Chen Han wrote out the binomial theorem and the octal group numbers of the Eight Trigrams and the Book of Changes, their brains completely shut down.

What the hell is this?
Everyone says that the Xuanmen sect is good at drawing strange symbols. Look at these, who draws the strangest symbols?

Even when these Taoist priests were dizzy, they didn't forget to take out their phones and film these moments.

This is not only for memorizing these things, but also for making a video.

Although their accounts are not allowed to post content related to religious propaganda, this should be fine.

This is mathematics!
"Take a look at this maze design, everyone. You should be interested." Chen Han then took out a printed copy of the maze design and placed it on the table.

The Taoist priests were naturally interested in the maze design and immediately gathered around.

There were many design drawings, and several people were in small groups, examining each one. Many of the Taoist priests were also taking pictures with their phones.

Moreover, this time the three-dimensional maze made it more intuitive for them, but they still couldn't apply the mathematical octal system and binomial formula, which shows they still don't understand mathematics.

However, when these Taoist priests released Chen Han's maze design diagram, as well as the mathematical octal group number and binomial formula, the internet was once again abuzz with interest.

Although the previous video of the Chen family head said that he was going to set up an array, and even the whistle horn revealed that the Chen family head was going to use mathematics to demonstrate the Bagua and Zhouyi, and then use it to set up the array.

However, it's really hard for people to associate mathematics with setting up a maze.

Now, seeing the 3D maze designed by the Chen family head, along with the octal mathematical formula and the binomial formula, everyone felt their heads buzzing.

Feng shui is at least related to geography.

Everyone can understand that.

Who knew that the Chen family head would actually connect mathematics with the I Ching and even come up with a formula.

But the key thing is that after reading them all, I felt like my head was about to cramp.

They understand octal arrays and even grasp the patterns, but when it comes to the evolution of the I Ching and the Eight Trigrams, they are completely baffled.

And then there's the binomial theorem. They understand a and b individually, but when they're connected to concepts like Yin and Yang or the Four Symbols, they don't understand it at all.

Well, I can understand octal numbers now, but I know nothing about the I Ching or the Eight Trigrams.

Those who have some understanding of the Eight Trigrams and the Book of Changes have no understanding of mathematics at all.

Huang Tao and several of his colleagues are like that.

Because he received Chen's gratitude and got tea worth hundreds of thousands of yuan for free, he became even more eager to follow Chen's gossip, and would check out any new videos about Chen as soon as they came out.

Upon seeing the mathematical formulas and 8D design drawings, he considered taking a closer look. As a computer science student, he was very familiar with octal.

Seeing those permutations and combinations, he thought it would be simple, but after applying the principles of the I Ching and the Eight Trigrams, he had only one thought: 'What is this thing?'

I don't understand it, I really don't understand it.

However, there was one person who was different, namely Mingdi, because he had been studying Taoist classics and had also read some of the I Ching and the Eight Trigrams.

Most importantly, he was also a top student, and his academic performance was quite good in the past.

Therefore, he understands a little about the I Ching and mathematics, so he can understand the octal hexagram annihilation and the identification of directions to some extent.

But that's not important.

The important thing is that seeing this topic gaining popularity again, the first-grade math textbook he had just prepared has come in handy.

He originally wanted to ride the wave of popularity again.

In fact, he said in a previous video that he wanted to relearn math.

If you take out an elementary school math textbook and start learning it again, wouldn't that be very abstract and attract attention?
Thinking about it, he turned on video recording.

First, he recorded himself saying, "Patriarch Chen has indeed developed a formation that is detrimental to our Holy Sect. Since his formation method is related to mathematics, we must use mathematics to break his formation. Believe me, when Patriarch Chen successfully sets up his formation, that will be the time for me to break it with mathematics."

As he spoke, he turned the video recorded on his phone toward the first-grade math textbook in front of him.

He then added, "Alright, now I'm going to work hard to break the Chen family head's formation. A little math won't stump me."

The horn ended with a close-up shot of the words "first grade textbook".

He was sure this would make anyone who saw it burst out laughing.

Just as Mingdi had predicted, after his video was uploaded, many people saw it, and when they saw the first-grade textbook at the end, they were amused by its unconventional and abstract style.

Seriously, you honked your horn so solemnly, wanting to rely on math to break through the difficulties and start learning math all over again, but it turns out you're learning first grade math?
The key point is that these abstract videos quickly became trending topics, giving the horn a lot of attention and prompting many people to follow suit and make their own.

They all imitated honking their horns and took photos while holding first-grade math textbooks.

The titles are all things like: "To learn mathematics in order to conquer the Chen family's formations!" and "To reconquer mathematics in order to conquer the Chen family's formations."

This is considered good; some people even brought out kindergarten math primers.

The internet quickly became a playground for these kinds of people who enjoy themselves.

Beijing.

In a metal research laboratory, Minister Ma listened attentively to the research director's project report.

After confirming the extraordinary nature of the two metals sent by the Chen family head, the laboratory immediately established a special team to analyze their components and attempt to replicate them. At this point, it was no longer Minister Ma's responsibility; however, since the items had passed through his hands, it was still worth paying attention to.

After all, we've already made contact with that Chen family head, and we need to have a comprehensive understanding of this information; it will definitely be beneficial later.

After learning the detailed plan, Minister Ma left the laboratory and returned to his office.

No sooner had he sat down than someone rushed over to report: "Minister Ma, the Chen family head has made some new moves. He said he wants to set up a maze, and he's even using mathematical evolution of the Eight Trigrams and the Book of Changes. The Taoist priests have already gone to the Chen family and have also sent out an octal mathematical set and a binomial theorem formula."

"What?" Minister Ma was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously took out his phone to check.

When they saw the videos of those Taoist priests, they were all dumbfounded.

Can this kind of math really work?

The key issue is that the feng shui science developed by the Chen family head has not yet been mastered, and now he has come up with a mathematical and Bagua-Zhouyi evolution, which he is using to set up a maze.

Is it a bit too fast?

"Assemble the feng shui problem-solving team, and also invite two mathematics experts," Minister Ma immediately instructed.

Now that we know about this, we can't just ignore it; we have to verify it.

Moreover, battle formations are commonly seen in movies and TV shows, especially maze formations. For example, in the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang used a rock formation called the Eight Trigrams Formation to block Lu Xun's army.

If the illusion array that Patriarch Chen mentioned is real and has such an effect, then it could be used in many ways.

For example, in some border areas.

But that kind of effect is probably unlikely, right?
It's probably just something he's thinking.

Once the higher-ups pay special attention to something, their ability to act is very strong. Before long, the people from the Feng Shui Science Department, along with two mathematics experts, were gathered in a conference room.

Minister Ma entered the room and, seeing that everyone was present, went straight to the point: "The purpose of inviting everyone here today is simply to have you analyze the content of this video."

The video was released by those Taoist priests; it contained 8D design diagrams of the maze, as well as content related to octal group numbers and binomial formulas.

Several members of the Feng Shui science research team looked enlightened when they saw the video; it was indeed about this matter.

After witnessing how quickly the Chen family head restored the feng shui of Sima Chengzhen's residence, they developed a great respect for him and began to follow his news.

They naturally paid attention to the matter of setting up the maze.

Following Minister Ma's words, these people and the two mathematics experts also began to watch the video, copying down the relevant octal group numbers and binomial theorem formulas.

People in the Feng Shui science department are also checking out information related to the Bagua and Zhouyi on their phones.

They are all Taoist enthusiasts and have done some research, so they have some experience in this area.

Needless to say, these mathematical sets and formulas were not too difficult for the two math experts.

Therefore, after the two sides discussed and explored the matter together, everyone's faces showed shock.

“It really works perfectly,” a math expert exclaimed in surprise.

Even someone from the Feng Shui department exclaimed in amazement: "I really didn't expect that the Chen family head could actually use mathematics to derive and express the Bagua and Zhouyi. So, the Bagua and Zhouyi are also science?"

Another person was even more shocked: "If that's the case, does it mean that Patriarch Chen's claim of setting up a maze is true? The key question is, what method will he use to set up this formation?"

The conclusion was drawn so easily; if those people online, or even the Taoist priests, knew this, they would surely be very surprised.

This is the power of principles.

Once a principle is set in motion to do something, the resources and power it mobilizes are absolutely terrifying.

It can be said that no one on this land can compare.

Minister Ma, seeing the shock of these people, confirmed the matter and, without hesitation, ordered: "Keep a close eye on matters related to the Chen family's maze formation during this period, and also send two people on business trips to ensure that they are aware of the Chen family's formation deployment in real time."

...

Time flies, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past week, a large area of ​​the Chen's Maze has been explored.

Those Taoist priests spent almost every day at the construction site, using the 3D design drawings created by Chen Han to help determine the location of the pile of rubble, and even the placement of the feng shui stones.

This undoubtedly saved Chen's workshop a lot of trouble.

Chen Lin even felt that this way the project could be completed earlier than the planned two weeks.

Naturally, besides these Taoist priests, many of Chen's tourists are also attracted here. Even though they can't enter the construction site, it doesn't stop them from filming videos.

Every day, numerous videos of the Chen family's maze-like formations are uploaded online.

However, Chen's formation not only recruited a large number of workers, but also used various modern tools such as bulldozers and chainsaws, which seemed to be completely different from the formation method that everyone thought of.

This appears to be a completely modern construction site development.

Can this really create a maze?
Even though more and more people have this speculation, the popularity of the Chen family's maze remains high.

Similarly, over the past few days, more tourists have been attracted, and the amount of wish power collected each day has increased significantly.

On the highway leading to the Chen family.

Chen Kai also led a group to the Chen family.

With such a large commotion as setting up the maze, the number of tourists flocking in has increased, so naturally he has to pay attention.

He came over on the very first day that the Chen family started setting up their formation.

I've been busy with things in the old town area and following up on the rapeseed planting area these past few days, and it was only a week later that I came to check on it again.

According to online videos, the area where the Chen family set up their formation was already mostly completed, and he wanted to go and see the details today.

We should learn more about it so that we can better deal with it when the Chen family finishes setting up their formation.

Just as we were getting close to Chen's place, we saw that all the vehicles in front of us had stopped, and some people even stopped to take pictures of a certain spot with their phones.

This puzzled him, and when he drove forward and saw the situation there, he was clearly taken aback.

Because there was someone there bowing in the direction of the Chen family.

Moreover, they would kowtow once, then stand up, walk a few steps, and then kowtow again, with a reporter-like person filming them.

Chen Kai was puzzled and didn't understand what was going on.

Such behavior is somewhat similar to that of people who are making devout pilgrimages in certain places.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a situation at the Chen family's place. To be honest, in modern society, everyone lives a very comfortable life. Even if one is devout to the Chen family's Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable, very few people could endure this kind of hardship.

Upon closer inspection, his brow furrowed slightly, for the person bowing was not a Chinese citizen, but a foreigner.

The other person had dark skin, but wasn't Black; the skin tone was likely tanned, like a white person with that tan.

In those foreign countries, it's rare to find white people with such a tan, and judging from their clothing, they are clearly very poor.

I just don't know what their purpose is in doing this.

...

Chen family.

Chen Han cultivated for a while, then got up, lay down on a recliner in the courtyard, and checked the sect's headquarters upgrade information in his mind:

Level: 6 Sect Residence

...

升级要求：1、钱财：（53493.42万/2亿）。2、声望：（7526542/100万）。3、愿力：（74255/10万）。4、风水阵势（2/2）。5、三才植物成林（未完成）。

Over the course of this week, his fan base has grown significantly, surpassing 1500 million, thanks to news about setting up a maze and using mathematics to represent the evolution of the I Ching and the Eight Trigrams.

My reputation is now over 750 million. As long as I don't upgrade the Spirit Jade Ball or repair the Cloud Barrier Cauldron, I'll definitely be rich.

As for the money, it's already over 5.3 million. Liu Ye has already arranged all 5.5 million in anonymous bank cards for him, of which 1 million was transferred to the Maze Project fund.

They are now financially well-off.

The only things that need upgrading now are the requirements for Willpower and the Three Talents Plants.

However, reaching 10 willpower is not far off, and the area planted with the Three Talents Plants is also growing larger and larger. It seems that the sect's headquarters should be able to be upgraded soon as well.

I wonder what kind of upgrade rewards the game system will give us then.

Furthermore, the purple robe and decree placed in the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable's main hall have not yet been activated.

Given that so much time has passed, the attributes of the decree that have been activated cannot be too simple, right?

If it takes this long to activate and all you get in the end is a simple attribute, that would be a bit too much.

As Chen Han was pondering this, a game notification suddenly appeared in his mind, startling him:
A violent and evil demonic aura was approaching the Chen family, but it seemed that there was no malice in this demonic aura, which was very strange.

Please investigate this matter as soon as possible!

"???" This was the first time Chen Han had ever seen a description of "violent and evil demonic energy".

According to this explanation, a demonic entity should have arrived.

But in the blink of an eye, the demonic energy showed no malice whatsoever. This reversal was quite abrupt, leaving him somewhat confused.
