I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 343 The Mech is Complete! The Puppet is Finally About to Be Born!

After the longsword floated in front of Chen Han for a moment, it began to dance around him as he moved his fingers together.

As he pointed his finger in a certain direction, the sword instantly flew out in that direction.

The finger pointed to another spot, and the sword flew there with remarkable agility.

With the opening of the eight extraordinary meridians and the successful entry into the meridian opening stage, he can now control a real sword using basic sword control techniques.

Of course, the weight of a sword makes it less agile than a steel needle, and its speed is also much slower than that of steel.

This is similar to how a 2.0T engine is more than enough for a small sedan, but it falls short when placed in a large SUV.

In particular, those steel needles all have a +1 attribute.

Thinking of this, he looked at the weapon-refining furnace. The sword his junior sister had given him could also be refined in the furnace, and it would surely develop new attributes.

The weapon-refining furnace inside the family's cave can produce +2 attributes.

With that thought in mind, he left the family cave and appeared in a room on the third floor of the General Affairs Hall. He took out his phone and searched for a shop owned by a Longquan weapon blogger.

The other party is a shop that specializes in selling all kinds of antique-style weapons. They usually sell models, which are cheap and can be used as toys.

There is another type that is of the art-craft grade. Although it cannot be sharpened when it is sold, the buyer can sharpen it themselves after purchasing it.

The key point is that these craft-level swords are forged using modern technology, which would have made them truly divine weapons in ancient times.

This is undeniable; ancient metal forging techniques are incomparable to modern ones.

Chen Han directly chose a rather cool Longquan sword and placed an order for 50 of them.

Anyway, buy more and refine them in the forge first to see what attributes you can get, and then see which attributes can be upgraded to +2.

This way you can choose the best one.

As for whether 50 swords are too many?

The Sword Control Technique allows one to control one sword, ten swords, or one hundred swords.

After placing the order, Chen Han returned to his family's cave. Not long after, the refining furnace stopped refining, and another batch of mecha parts was completed.

Chen Han inspected the batch of parts and found another one with a +2 rating, which he also added directly to his game inventory.

The others were simply set aside, to be dealt with later.

Next, Chen Han put the family head sword given to him by his junior sister into the weapon-refining furnace to refine it, and then sat down cross-legged to cultivate.

This time, forging the sword took even longer than forging the mecha parts.

In just about an hour, he received a game notification that the crafting was complete. He immediately opened the forging furnace, took out the longsword, and added it to his game inventory to check the notes:

[Special Longsword: This is a longsword forged in the family's cave furnace. Impurities have been removed, revealing its essence, and it possesses special effects: Durability +1, Sharpness +1, Lightness +1, Control +1]

When Chen Han saw that the sword had developed four attributes after being refined, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Although the +2 attribute didn't appear yet, once the ordered Longquan swords arrive and are forged with the +2 attribute, the lightness and control alone will make sword riding smoother and more effortless.

It also has the Sharpness attribute. If this item is upgraded by 2, the power of the Sword Control Technique will be even stronger.

With +2 Sharpness and the power of the Sword Control Technique, it should be able to cut through steel, if not cut through it like mud.

As Chen Han thought this, he used the basic sword control technique. In an instant, the sword in his hand flew out again. This time, he clearly felt that the control was stronger and that it was lighter and more agile.

If I had to describe it, it would be that he, wielding this sword with +1 lightness and +1 control, would be far stronger than his original self wielding the same sword.

He had higher expectations for the +2 sword.

However, the forging can only continue after the 50 swords arrive.

So he also put the sword into his game inventory and continued to craft parts for the J-16 mech model.

After the refining furnace restarted, Chen Han took out intermediate-grade spirit stones and continued cultivating until a continuous stream of reputation notifications appeared in his mind.

[You have gained 1 wish power through the image transmission of the Spirit Mirror!]

...

[You have gained 1 wish power through the image transmission of the Spirit Mirror!]

The game screen in his mind actually kept showing prompts about increasing reputation and willpower, but they were different from the prompts related to game quests.

For example, right now, the speed at which the power of vows increases is very fast, because there are people at the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Venerable Taoist Temple in the Demon Realm worshipping the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Venerable.

His reputation has also increased. As long as there is any buzz about him online, people will pay attention to him and become fans. Therefore, he now posts videos much less frequently than before, but his number of fans has still increased.

It now has over 1700 million followers.

But starting just now, his reputation has been increasing at a much faster rate, and by a significant margin. There must be a reason for this.

It's highly likely that he trended on social media, and it probably wasn't a cosplay of the game "Honor of Kings".

After all, the event started in the morning and this situation did not occur.

Therefore, it has nothing to do with this.

He was somewhat curious about the reason, so he got up and left the family's cave.

It was already night outside.

He took out his phone, and as the signal was restored, there were indeed many follower notifications and @mentions in Douyin's backend.

He clicked on one of the @ tags and saw the video that opened, and he looked surprised.

It turns out it's related to this matter.

Title: "Master Chen saved the driver's pregnant wife and twins with a single word because of taking a taxi."

"As everyone knows, there was a King of Glory cosplay event in Linhe County today. This event was jointly organized by the Chen family and Linhe County. The head of the Chen family actually appeared at this event."

"Moreover, when the head of the Chen family took a taxi back to the Chen family, something incredible happened. According to a taxi driver from Linhe County, when the head of the Chen family got out of the car, he calculated that the driver's wife was about to give birth. Moreover, he not only calculated that it would be twins, but also that the driver's wife would have a major hemorrhage, and told the doctor to prepare type A blood in advance."

"The key thing is that everything that the Chen family head said came true. The driver's wife really did give birth to twins, and she did indeed have a lot of bleeding during childbirth. Fortunately, the driver had the doctor prepare blood bags in advance."

This video is very popular, obviously because it trended on social media.

The video's comment section is quite lively:

"Holy crap, blogger, do you think I'm stupid? How could the Chen family head possibly take a taxi?"

"Haha, that's hilarious! A driver asks a doctor to prepare blood bags, and the doctor actually prepares them?"

"You want to get attention, but you can't even make up a story?"

"..."

Many comments questioned the blogger, believing he was talking nonsense.

Chen Han shook his head at this. Many people on the internet are inexplicably confident. They clearly don't understand or know much, yet they can make judgments about things with great self-assurance.

For example, he would take a taxi back, isn't that a normal thing?

He can drive, but he has never owned a car. When he goes out, he either hitches a ride with his junior or takes a taxi.

These people online know nothing, yet they're absolutely certain he won't take a taxi.

However, this video isn't entirely based on these disbelief comments:
"Holy crap, if I hadn't watched the other videos first, I would have definitely thought the blogger made it up."

"Really, I apologize for saying before that your statement was arbitrary!"

"I understand now. Patriarch Chen foresaw that your wife would be in trouble, so he deliberately rode in your car."

"This is true. Many people have testified to it, including doctors in Linhe County."

"..."

Chen Han immediately clicked on the trending topic that appeared when the video appeared, and sure enough, many videos appeared in the topic.

Most of these videos were filmed by ordinary people, and some were filmed by hospital nurses and doctors. They probably saw that the videos were trending and specifically went to film Liu Hao's wife.

One of the interviews was with a doctor who delivered Liu Hai's wife's baby: "Don't ask me how I felt. My expression at the time was the same as yours when you know about this. I was incredulous too, okay?"

Among these videos, the one that received the most likes was a dashcam video. The video begins with the driver saying, "Master Chen, I didn't expect it to be you. It's truly an honor to give you a ride!"

The video was edited; parts of the journey were sped up or omitted, and Chen Han heard his own voice at the end.

"I never expected you to be such a blessed person."

"what…"

"Go to the hospital right away... and have the doctor prepare type A blood..."

It was when he got out of the car that the fragments of the Bagua compass suddenly evolved, and what he told the driver, that unexpectedly became a trending topic.

The audio recorded by the dashcam is the most direct evidence of the incident, which is why the data is so high.

"It really is Patriarch Chen's voice, holy crap, he really did calculate it..."

"This driver must have done something really good in his past life to have encountered such good fortune in this one."

"Is Patriarch Chen really that powerful?"

"..."

After learning the reason, Chen Han also put down his phone.

Night had fallen. He found something to eat, went back to his room to take a shower, and then continued to enter the family cave to refine the demonic essence of the mecha while cultivating.

...

Online, the news of Chen's family head rescuing his driver's wife and twins spread like wildfire overnight, gaining even more attention and becoming known to more and more people.

Upon seeing this, the Taoist priests immediately went to the library and retrieved several books on divination, then began to study them.

The fact that Patriarch Chen could calculate this proves the wonder of another Taoist esoteric art, following Feng Shui, Bagua, and the Book of Changes.

Beijing.

As soon as Minister Ma arrived at his office, someone showed him the news from the special intelligence analysis department.

"We haven't fully figured out the mysteries of feng shui, the Bagua, and the I Ching yet," Minister Ma said with a sigh after watching the news video.

Like the Taoist priests, he believed that the head of the Chen family had once again proven a Taoist metaphysics.

But divination is the most mysterious and profound thing, absolutely incomparable to feng shui, the Bagua, and the Zhouyi.

Is this what the Chen family head is doing—predicting the future?

How terrifying would it be if the future could be predicted?
Compared to these people, the tourists who had already arrived in Linhe County were the ones who were most enthusiastic about talking about it.

After seeing this news, the most direct way for these tourists to find out was to ask the taxi drivers in Linhe County.

Cai Mengya is a case in point. She came to Chen's alone for her trip because she was single, had no boyfriend to accompany her, and no close female friends who were on the same wavelength to travel with.

This time, she not only failed to secure a room in the Chen family's feng shui house, but also failed to secure accommodation in Shangyuan Village, and even failed to secure a hotel in the old town area.

These past two days, due to the King of Glory cosplay competition hosted by the Chen family, hotels in the ancient city area have been fully booked, and she could only manage to snag a room in a small guesthouse in Linhe County.

It's pretty good that we managed to snag this room. Some people online say it's impossible to get a room at all, so they have to stay in Qingmin City first and then take the high-speed train to Chenshi early in the morning to visit.

This morning she saw the news that the head of the Chen family had predicted that the taxi driver's wife would have twins and suffer a major hemorrhage.

She was genuinely surprised, especially when she heard the conversation from the dashcam video.

So, after hailing a taxi, she immediately asked as soon as she got in, "Driver, is it true that the story online about the Chen family head instructing that driver?"

Upon hearing this, the driver excitedly began to describe it: "Girl, let me tell you, this is absolutely true. The driver's name is Liu Hao, and we all know him."

"After dropping off the Chen family head, he posted this message in our drivers' group. Someone in the group reminded him that the Chen family head had told him that his wife was in danger, which is why he rushed to the hospital."

"Many drivers in the group went to the hospital to visit him out of curiosity after hearing about this. They were all witnesses to the incident, and the doctor was completely dumbfounded at the time..."

The driver became more and more excited as he talked; this was a topic they all had to discuss today.

Even if passengers don't ask, they will tell them on their own initiative, since this is firsthand information for them as drivers.

Cai Mengya was also very surprised to hear these words. From the driver's excited description, she could tell that it was true.

That Chen family head is really that amazing.

As the car left Linhe County, we saw several brightly decorated vehicles ahead, including a pickup truck carrying roasted suckling pig and other such items.

Upon seeing this, the driver laughed and said, "Girl, did you see that? This is Liu Hao's doing. He's going to the Chen family to fulfill a vow and thank the Chen family head. He even sent a video of the preparations to the drivers' group beforehand."

Cai Mengya indeed saw a banner on one of the cars in the middle, which read: "Thank you, Patriarch Chen, for saving my wife and children."

...

Chen family.

Chen Han, in his own courtyard, was also surprised to see the data on the sect's headquarters:
升级要求：1、钱财：（3.59亿/****）。2、声望：（832.65万/****）。3、愿力：（455255/****）。4、风水阵势（2/2）。5、三才植物成林（完成）。

The number of wishes has exceeded 45.

Originally, collecting these items was difficult, but now that there's a place called "Demon Realm" where you can farm this data, you'll suddenly have plenty.

What he cares about most is his reputation, which has already exceeded 832 million.

He gained over a million reputation points in almost one night. The key is that the reputation points notification was quite fast, which means that many people are still paying attention to the news online and then following him.

This was an unexpected surprise after helping others.

At that moment, a notification appeared in his mind that the refining furnace was complete.

This made him overjoyed, and he hurriedly went to the General Affairs Hall, then entered the family's cave dwelling.

This batch of parts is the last one to be crafted. Once a +2 part is obtained, the crafting of the J-16 mech model can be completed this week.

Upon arriving at the refining furnace, Chen Han opened it and took out the components inside.

The final product crafted was a weapon for the J-16, a powerful longsword.

After taking out the weapons, he added them one by one to his game inventory and checked their notes:
[Puppet Accessory Weapon: This is a weapon slot from a puppet accessory. Due to special crafting, it possesses unique attributes: Lightness +1, Hardness +1, Resilience +1, Sharpness +1.]

Compared to other parts, the J-16's weapon attachments lack one attribute: flexibility, but gain one attribute: sharpness.

However, all attributes are +1.

He immediately checked the other parts, one by one, and they were all +1.

Finally, when I saw the seventh sword, its attributes were different.

[Puppet Accessory Weapon: This is a weapon slot from a puppet accessory. Due to special crafting, it possesses unique attributes: Lightness +2, Hardness +2, Resilience +2, Sharpness +2.]

Seeing this, Chen Han also smiled.

It's finally all together.

Without hesitation, he went directly to another part of the family's cave dwelling, took out all the +2 mecha parts, and began to assemble them.

Assembling such a large mecha model, which is over 2 meters tall, requires a lot of effort, but fortunately, his strength makes it a piece of cake.

In no time, he had assembled a complete J-16 mech model.

Or rather, this is a complete and highly sensitive puppet, which can now be modified using the Magic Puppet Modification Stone.

The moment he took out the Demon Puppet Modification Stone, he also heard a game notification:
[The Demonic Puppet Modification Stone has discovered a modifiable puppet. Modify the current puppet?]

Without hesitation, Chen Han chose "yes".

After all, wasn't the purpose of refining in the furnace for a week straight for this moment?

As he made his decision, the Demon Puppet Modification Stone flew out of his hand and then enveloped the J-16 with a very peculiar dark light.

The next moment, the dark light began to condense into mysterious runes, which started to move around the demonic puppet.

Almost simultaneously, as if something was being drawn, a commotion arose nearby.

Chen Han subconsciously looked over there and then saw a very surprising scene.

What the hell is going on here?
