I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 331 The Chen Family Maze is Open! Visitor: Easy, I've memorized the path!
The weather has turned cold. Even in the south, many people are wearing long sleeves, and some are even wearing light jackets.

As the weather gets colder, many tourist attractions, except for certain specific areas, begin to enter the off-season.

Many people haven't been able to travel even once a year due to work, life, and other reasons, and they want to take advantage of the last days of the year to have a proper trip.

Liu Yifei was like that; he had seen many videos about the Chen family and was attracted to them many times, but due to life reasons, even though he lived in Qingming City, he never had the time to come.

I had a holiday this time, and since the Chen family was bustling with activity and the maze project was open today, I brought my girlfriend from Qingming City early this morning.

In the taxi, my girlfriend looked out the window and said, "We finally got to go out to Chenshi after the New Year. Otherwise, if it gets any colder, I wouldn't even bother to go out."

"It's not too cold yet," Liu Yifei said with a smile.

Adults are sometimes not in control of their own lives; their first priority is simply to make a living, so going to work often comes first.

The driver smiled and said to the two tourists, "You two can actually come to Chen's even in winter. The weather outside doesn't affect Chen's. You must have seen the news about the Chen family head arranging the feng shui to change the climate of Chen's, right?"

"Is this true?" Liu Yifei asked instinctively.

He and his girlfriend had both seen that video. At first, some people said that the idea that the Chen family buried feng shui stones and set up feng shui formations was nonsense.

Feng shui is something that has never been proven.

But with the restoration of the Wudang Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak Feng Shui formation, with the publication of Feng Shui and Geography science by the Chen family head, and with the Chen family head being awarded the title of 'Taoist Grand Scholar', everything changed.

You should know that this Grand Scholar is just as deserving of the title as those Grand Scholars in the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Moreover, those books on feng shui and geography have been confirmed by countless experts.

Therefore, the idea that the Chen family buries feng shui stones and sets up feng shui formations to change the climate is being recognized by more and more people. In fact, many people have posted online about how the climate in the Chen family has always been very comfortable and has not changed much.

More and more people began to believe that the feng shui arrangement by the Chen family head had changed the climate on the Chen side.

The driver laughed and said, "It's not just true, you'd better bring a short-sleeved shirt, otherwise even a long-sleeved shirt might be too hot to play around in Chen's. When you go up the back mountain to drink the spiritual spring water, you'll probably break out in a sweat."

Liu Yifei and his girlfriend exchanged a glance.

They all had to wear a light jacket when they came over from their side, but who would have thought that Chen would still be wearing short sleeves?
The driver suddenly pulled out a printed map and handed it to Liu Yifei: "The Chen's Maze project is open today. There will be a reward for successfully getting out of the maze. This is the path map of the Chen's Maze. Keep it safe, it might be helpful."

Liu Yifei took the route map and said with a smile, "Master, is this the route map posted by that blogger Weihang online?"

The driver nodded and said, "Yes, this is it. You tourists can also see this route map on your mobile phones, but the mobile phone map is too small. If you zoom in, you can't see the whole map and it's easy to get confused. This printed map is clearer. We drivers will give one to every tourist who takes a taxi today."

"Thank you, Master." Liu Yifei had already managed to snag a trial voucher for the Chen Family Maze, and this would come in handy.

The car quickly arrived at Shangyuan Village and drove into the village.

Because Liu Yifei failed to secure the feng shui house belonging to the Chen family, he only managed to secure a room in the village's accommodation.

After getting off the bus, he and his girlfriend really felt the difference in air and temperature.

The air here is great, and the temperature is very comfortable; wearing a jacket actually feels a bit hot.

This is completely different from the outside world. Even after he got off the bullet train, he still knew what the temperature was like in Linhe County.

It's definitely not as warm as here.

This also proves that it is true that the Chen family head arranged a feng shui formation to change the climate.

Otherwise, how can we explain why the temperature in this place is so comfortable and so different, even though it's within the same county?

This kind of thing would never happen anywhere else.

That's just a bit awkward.

They really didn't bring short sleeves.

The key question is, with so many tourists coming here, how come they didn't notice the problem and didn't post any related videos online?

These people are so tight-lipped.

Thinking about it, he decided to post a video to remind other tourists that when they come to Chen's area for tourism, they must bring a set of short-sleeved shirts.

He gave up the idea after just a moment's thought; he couldn't face this awkward situation alone.

We all walked here together only to realize we needed to wear short sleeves; it's fair that we all share this awkwardness.

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, he paused for a moment.

I wonder if other tourists think the same way?

Actually, he didn't know that there was another reason.

The weather has just started to cool down, so this issue isn't receiving much attention yet. Even if some tourists post videos, not many people will follow ordinary accounts.

Liu Yifei took his girlfriend to check in, but as soon as they entered the check-in area, they saw a clothing supermarket next door.

To his surprise, the clothing supermarket was selling short-sleeved shirts, and many tourists were coming and going, keeping the sales staff extremely busy.

This made his eyes light up, and he immediately took his girlfriend toward the supermarket.

What a pleasant surprise!

Not far away, Mingdi and Guozhen, the village chief, watched the booming business of the clothing supermarket.

Guo Zhen was increasingly impressed by the horn-whistle. Really, who would have thought of opening a clothing store in the village?
Even when the question was raised, some villagers thought it was a pipe dream.

After all, if the location is wrong, wouldn't opening a clothing store be a guaranteed loss?
However, after discussing with the Chen family, the clothing supermarket was still opened.

After all, the village depends on the Chen family for its livelihood, and most importantly, the Chen family also owns 30% of the village's assets.

In this case, the combined shareholding of Mingdi exceeds the combined share of everyone else in the village.

No one expected the clothing store to become so popular after it opened.

At this point, many people realized that when tourists came to Chenshi, they would mostly wear long sleeves and jackets because of the temperature.

This trend will become more pronounced as the weather gets colder. Who would have thought that the climate here in Chen's area would require wearing short sleeves?
Therefore, most people who come to visit the Chen family now have to buy a set of short-sleeved shirts at this supermarket, otherwise going up the back mountain of the Chen family would be a real ordeal.

As for the later period, when the news of Chen's special climate became known, many tourists probably wouldn't bring short sleeves in winter and would still come to this supermarket to buy them.

Therefore, this clothing supermarket is guaranteed to make a profit.

After thinking it through, everyone had to admit that the horn-sounding approach was insightful.

After buying a set of short-sleeved shirts, Liu Yifei checked in with his girlfriend and changed into the shirts.

After checking the time, he hurriedly headed to the location of the Chen family's maze.

Having already snagged the tickets, I naturally want to experience it as soon as possible.

Huang Tao did the same, because the Chen's Maze would open this morning, and he arrived at the project site early in the morning.

He had received word that the Chen Family Maze was open today with special events.

The first 10 tourists to successfully complete the challenge will not only receive a reward of 5 yuan, but also a special commemorative plaque inscribed with the words "Solo Conquering of the Chen Family Maze".

It will also include the order in which the person broke through the formation.

Only the top 10 have this honor, so many of Chen's loyal fans want to compete for it.

Those who were among the first to grab experience tickets have the best competitive advantage and will definitely try to get them.

He plans to aim for a top-three finish and secure a top-one position. He plans to post a video on WeChat Moments or Douyin (TikTok) to attract attention.

The key is that you can show it off to your colleagues.

……

Chen Han arrived at the Chen Clan's Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable Hall after preparing a medicinal meal in his uncle's kitchen. He watched as Ma Haidra devoutly offered incense.

As the other person offered incense, he also received a notification that his vow power had increased.

In the past few days, Mahidela has come to offer incense almost every day.

Moreover, since Chen's dream that night, the other party has been able to provide 4 points of wish power.

This indicates that the other party's piety has increased.

Master Li will be coming tomorrow, and then Ma Haidra will become a foreign member of the Taoist sect.

When the other party returns to the Demon Realm, the Taoist sect will send some people to go back with them and help them build a Taoist temple for cultivation.

Whether those people were registered members of the Taoist sect was not his concern.

He simply treats this as an act of cultural inheritance, dissemination, and development; everything else is irrelevant to him.

He only hoped that the Taoist temple built in the Demon Realm would be dedicated to the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable.

The key is that he gave the other party a scroll of divine manifestation, and the other party certainly wouldn't refuse this request, since Mahedra had been offering incense to the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable all this time.

The other party is now a loyal follower of the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable.

At that time, it would be considered as helping the Demon-Slaying Celestial Venerable expand his territory and spread his glory beyond the realm. Shouldn't he be rewarded? After Ma Haidra finished offering incense, Chen Han also left the Demon-Slaying Celestial Venerable's main hall and headed to the location of the maze.

When he arrived, the place was already packed with people, a huge crowd had gathered.

Some of them are tourists from the Chen family today.

Some people only managed to snag tickets for the maze experience, like those from Linhe County.

Many of them have visited Chen's several times, and they only come back when Chen's is developing new projects or when they are meeting up with girls.

Otherwise, I wouldn't come here so often. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, you'll get tired of seeing it several times in a short period of time.

After all, he's not like that jerk who was exposed a while ago, who went on blind dates with 15 girls in 15 days and took them to Chen's place for 15 consecutive days, making himself a tour guide for Chen's place, and the video even went viral on Douyin.

When Chen Han arrived, many members of the Chen family had already arrived as well.

For example, Chen Lin, as an elder of the workshop, naturally had to be present to see if there were any parts of the maze that needed to be rebuilt.

And Chen Xiaoyan, she was in charge of distributing the awards and commemorative plaques today.

Chen Qing was also there, and he and his team members had to go inside the maze.

Although there are special devices that can scan QR codes to find the way down, if someone is not quick-witted enough to scan the QR code and gets trapped inside, they will need to press the distress button on the special device.

At that time, they will pinpoint the location and send someone to request assistance.

The key point is that the maze has a special magnetic field energy that completely blocks outside signals.

Even though those special devices were placed very close together, the distance for transmitting distress signals was also very short, requiring their team to patrol the maze.

The Chen family has taken care of everything in this regard.

A small platform has been set up at the entrance to the Chen's Maze for the opening ceremony of the project.

Xiaoyu and Xiaomi naturally served as the hosts.

When Chen Han arrived, the two had already created a lively atmosphere.

When it was almost time, Xiaoyu took the microphone and announced the start of the event: "Next, the Chen's Maze will be officially open. Visitors who managed to buy tickets will be given a special device bracelet."

"This special device has a unique function: it can scan the parts of the maze that are equipped with QR codes. When you are trapped in the maze, you can scan the code to find out the next path."

"Of course, if any unexpected situation occurs, you can press the distress button on the special device, and our Chen family will come to your rescue as quickly as possible."

"With this special device, as long as everyone scans the code, it will accumulate one scan for help information. As long as everyone breaks out of the formation without scanning the code for help even once, they will receive our commemorative plaque for 'Solo Breaking of the Chen Family Maze'."

"Of course, you shouldn't think about forming a team and having one person scan the QR code to get the correct path and then sneak out. If you do that, the people next to you will also be counted as having scanned the code to ask for help."

"Therefore, tourists who want to get the solo breakthrough commemorative plaque should be careful that people nearby may try to use this method to trap them. If possible, try to go alone for the sake of the commemorative plaque."

"Of course, if everyone is trapped in one place, and someone can't resist scanning the code, the others should retreat to a safe area to avoid being affected. As for how much area will not be affected, the special device will provide a prompt, and everyone can check it themselves at that time."

"Today is the first day of the Chen Family Maze, and the Chen Family also has a special reward event. The first 10 tourists to break through the maze will receive a special ranking commemorative plaque and a prize of 5 yuan."

As soon as these words were spoken, the tourists around who had managed to snag tickets for the first day of the experience immediately erupted in a noisy commotion.

They immediately checked the route map in their hands, their faces showing eagerness and determination.

As for those who didn't manage to snag a ticket and were just there for the fun of it, they were extremely disappointed.

After all, failing to secure a ticket meant missing out on this event entirely.

Chen Han saw the expressions on the tourists' faces and knew what they were thinking. Only by entering the maze would they realize that the path map in their hands was just a piece of waste paper.

At this moment, Xiaoyu spoke up again: "Also, did everyone see the screen over there? The names of the top 10 and the time spent will be displayed there in a continuous list."

"The rankings will only be updated once someone surpasses the top 10. Of course, you can also check your own ranking and other people's rankings by entering your name on the control panel over there."

These words caused an even greater sensation among all the tourists.

In other words, as long as the Chen family doesn't fall, if they get a ranking, their name can stay online and be talked about forever.
Such an honor makes them even more eager to compete for it.

Wei Hang, in particular, gained a following for creating the Chen's Maze Path Map, and also experienced the benefits of riding on Chen's popularity.
With this ranking system in place, if someone can get first place, along with the path map they drew, they can not only gain fame but also receive greater benefits and attract more attention.

He deserves the first place.

After Xiaoyu finished explaining the situation, she smiled and asked, "Next, the Chen Family Maze will officially open. Due to the special nature of the maze, after the first person enters, it will take a while before the second person can enter. So, who wants to be the first to enter the maze and experience it?"

Immediately, many people around raised their hands.

Liu Yifei and Huang Tao both wanted to go in first.

Wei Hang was the first to step forward and called out to everyone, "Everyone, let me introduce myself. My name is Wei Hang, a professional maze player. Many of you probably know me and have seen my videos, so I hope you can make way for me. Thank you all."

This self-introduction immediately caused a stir among the surrounding tourists.

"It was him, the one who posted the Chen family's maze path map."

"That's right, it's him. I clicked on his profile when I was watching the video."

"He actually came too. But then again, he already made up the path map, how could he not go in and clear it himself?"

"..."

Xiaoyu also looked at Weihang, naturally recognizing the Chen's Path Map video online.

The other party gained a lot of attention by riding on the wave of popularity.

At the same time, she also felt some sympathy for the other person, seeing that all the tourists were carrying the route maps that this person had made.

What will happen when these tourists discover that the Chen's Maze is different from the map they are holding?
She went in herself; without that special device, she wouldn't have been able to get out. The other party's route map was completely useless.

This Wei Hang will soon become a clown.

Tourists who realize they've been scammed, along with netizens, will confront the scammer's account, accusing them of being attention-seeking.

The thought of that scene is rather pitiful.

Wei Hang had no idea that he had already taken the opportunity to go on stage. A staff member from the Chen family had already given him a special device bracelet: "Sir, please cooperate with us to enter your identity information. Be sure to keep the device safe when you enter the maze. This will allow you to call for help if you get trapped."

Wei Hang scoffed at those words. He had memorized the path of that lousy maze, so he didn't need to carry a map like those tourists.

You really underestimated him, this expert maze player.

So, after receiving the special device bracelet, he went to his assistant and recorded a video: "Haha, I've received the Chen's Maze Special Device Bracelet. This thing is for asking for help; you can use it when you're trapped."

"But for me, this kind of simple maze path doesn't require such a thing. Everyone knows my strength, I'm definitely number one, and I'll get out as quickly as possible."

"Of course, this special bracelet will definitely be helpful to other tourists, and it is also a very thoughtful design by the Chen family."

Many people, including Liu Yifei and Huang Tao, were indignant after seeing Wei Hang's video.

They had memorized the path map, but this maze-like layout seemed to be beyond their understanding.

However, this path map was posted by the other party, and they were the first to access it, so there's nothing we can do about it.

Fortunately, in Chen's event, the first person to clear the level doesn't automatically become the winner; in the end, it all comes down to the time taken.

Once inside, they can only try to clear the level as quickly as possible. As long as they are faster than their opponents, they can claim to have defeated the professional maze player, Weihang.

To put it another way, even professional maze players are no better than this.

Not only them, but other tourists also had this mentality to some extent.

With the route map in hand, and some even having memorized it perfectly, each of them felt they would be the king of the day.

"Everyone, wait for my performance!" Wei Hang said, taking the recording phone from his assistant, and then entered the maze under the guidance of the Chen clan members.

At the same time, he continued, "As you can see, I have entered Chen's Maze. Everyone remembers the path map I posted. After going a short distance, there will be two forks in the road."

As Weihang moved forward, two forks in the road soon appeared in the recorded video.

"The first fork in the road is the left one." Wei Hang smiled broadly and confidently walked to the left, adding, "Go straight for about 30 meters, then there will be four forks in the road... Wait... what's going on..."

Wei Hang was speaking confidently when he suddenly stared at the phone recording. The entire phone seemed to be affected by some magnetic field, and the recorded footage turned into static.

What kind of electronic jamming devices did the Chen family use to prevent others from filming the interior?
Is it necessary?

Such a simple maze doesn't even need to be filmed; you can figure out the path by walking through it a few times, let alone the fact that he has already figured out the path.

You can then mention this in the video to attract attention.

Thinking it over, Weihang continued walking inside, but when he turned the corner and saw the scene before him, he had a look of utter disbelief.

"how is this possible?"

……

(Tickets, tickets, tickets!)
