I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 347 The Birth of the War Machine!
The internet was indeed abuzz because of a video of Chen Han.

Everyone who saw the video of the Chen family head practicing martial arts with that dark mecha knew it was just an AI video.

Therefore, the fact that the Robot Mech League inexplicably invited the Chen family head to participate in the competition is seen by many as shameless opportunism and a way to ride the coattails of the league's popularity.

Things created by AI simply cannot be brought into reality.

Moreover, even if the Chen family really has such a mecha, is it the same type as your robot mecha league?
Trying to ride the wave of popularity is shameless, and many of Chen family leaders' fans even went to the official website of the Robot Mech League to leave abusive comments.

After that, as time went by, I stopped paying attention to it.

Arguing too much with shameless people only lowers your own standards.

But who would have thought that the head of the Chen family would release a video agreeing to participate in the robot mech league.

This is something no one expected.

Moreover, it can be seen in this video that it is no longer that dark mecha, but a normal mecha model.

It was purchased by the Chen family head before.

The Chen family head agreed to participate in the competition; could it be that he intends to use this as a competition entry?

Don't be so abstract. This is just a mecha model; it can't move on its own.

Many fans couldn't help but leave comments under this video:
“Patriarch Chen, I think you must be joking.”

"Patriarch Chen, is this another abstract video? I don't understand it?"

"Holy crap, are they saying they're going to use this model in the competition? Oh my god, this is a huge joke."

"..."

Not only were Chen Han's fans surprised, but Tong Fei, the person in charge of the Robot Mech League, was also surprised.

He didn't expect that just as the hype was starting to die down, the Chen family head suddenly dropped a bombshell on him.

He posted that video just to ride the wave of popularity; he never imagined that the Chen family head would actually have a robot participating in the competition.

Now that the Chen family head has suddenly agreed to attend, he is at a loss for how to react.

The mecha model in the other party's video is one of the models in the Nantianmen Project, which is the one that the other party bought before, right?
These things look nice, but if you use them to participate in their competitions, don't be fooled by their height of over 2 meters. Any robot in their league could easily knock them down.

If the head of the Chen family really uses this to participate in the competition, won't they make those contestants cooperate by acting, or deliberately lose to the head of the Chen family?

Unsure of the situation, Tong Fei even found a contact number and called the Chen family to verify the authenticity of the matter.

Once he received confirmation that the Chen family head would indeed participate, he didn't hesitate and seized the opportunity to immediately announce that the Chen family head would be participating in the robot league.

Once he confirmed it, the online buzz about the matter intensified.

Soon, the higher authorities also took notice.

Beijing.

Minister Ma had already led his men to a secluded valley in the mountains.

Such mountains and valleys are very rare in the location of the capital, and it is obvious that the terrain here is very special, seemingly situated in a certain type of terrain.

You can see that there are many people busy in the canyon.

Some people are carrying special stones and placing them in the appropriate positions.

Some are cutting down trees in some places, or planting trees in other places.

In the middle were several instruments, each with a special coin sword on it, and many people were observing them.

The secretary sighed, "Minister, this is the 10th time we've made this adjustment. If it still doesn't work, then we really need to ask that Chen family head for help."

"Yes!" Minister Ma nodded.

The sudden ringing of the phone made him answer immediately, and then he exclaimed in surprise, "What? The Chen family head is really going to participate in some robot mecha league? Are you kidding me...?"

After hanging up the phone, he immediately took out his phone to check the situation online.

When he saw the video posted by the Chen family head announcing his participation in the robot mech league, and even the league's official announcement, he suddenly found his heart racing.

After all, they had previously speculated that the video of the Chen family head might not be AI, and that the Chen family might actually have created that kind of mecha.

They just didn't have any evidence.

Now that the Chen family head is going to participate in this robot mech league, it seems like a chance to find out more.

Without hesitation, he instructed his secretary, "It seems I need to prepare a ticket for the event."

The Robot Mech League is being held in Beijing, so I'll definitely have to go check it out.

Moreover, since the Chen family head happened to be here, they could also invite him to visit the canyon and offer him some assistance.

...

Next two days.

The online discussion about the Chen family head participating in the robot mecha league is intensifying.

No one expected that the head of the Chen family would actually go to participate in the robot mech league.

This has led many people to buy tickets for the Robot Mech League, wanting to see it.

The main reason I wanted to see the mecha model that the Chen family head had brought to the competition was to see the mecha model.

Are the models bought from outside really reliable?

Even many tourists visiting Chen's area have started to pay attention to and inquire about this matter.

As a mere tourist, Zhang Yan didn't care about these matters.

He came to Chen's because a colleague recommended it, saying that Chen's was a very nice place, so he took advantage of his free time to bring his wife and daughter to visit.

Moreover, the environment and air quality in Chen's area are truly excellent, especially the climate, which is simply incredible.

Who would have thought that when you need to wear a coat outside, Chen could still wear a short-sleeved shirt here?

The wife asked with great curiosity, "Honey, do you think the mecha model that Master Chen bought can participate in that robot mecha league?"

Zhang Yan was embarrassed. He hadn't paid much attention to this matter and didn't know the specifics, so he couldn't give a proper answer.

But then, he suddenly saw his daughter pointing in a direction with surprise and excitement: "Daddy, Mommy, a robot, a robot is coming!"

Attracted, Zhang Yan looked curiously in the direction his daughter was pointing and saw a surprising scene.

There really was a mecha walking over from that direction, and it was incredibly agile, just like the fully-formed mechas in anime.

This scene was so captivating that it made it impossible not to look over.

"Ah...this mech is really moving by itself..." His wife was also attracted by what she saw, and even looked shocked.

She had read the news online and naturally knew that the Chen family was going to use this mecha to participate in the robot mecha league.

But this doesn't seem to be the mecha model sold by that company.

A model cannot walk on its own.

The surrounding tourists were also attracted.

No one could remain calm after witnessing this scene; in this day and age, we can only see mechs moving freely in movies.

Now they've seen it on the Chen family's side.

The Chen family's decision to use this mecha in the robot mecha league is clearly for real.

They could see that behind the walking mecha, the Chen family head was wearing AR glasses-like devices, clearly indicating that he was controlling the mecha.

The tourists all took out their phones to take pictures, watching the Chen family head control the mecha as it walked out of the Chen family compound.

"Senior brother, let me play with this for a bit." Xiaoyu stood next to Chen Han, her face full of anticipation. She couldn't control the black model, but she could control this one.

She also knew that this was no longer the original mecha model; it had been turned into a puppet by her senior brother.

Moreover, in her eyes, it was a very fun big toy.

Chen Han smiled and handed the CBI-type AR glasses to his junior sister.

In the past two days, he has inscribed the basic puppetry technique on the family's inheritance stone tablet, making it possible for anyone entering the family's cave to learn it.

My junior sister has already learned the basic puppetry technique above in the past two days, and even tried to make one herself, but naturally failed in the end. So, she has set her sights on the puppet he made.

Seeing him hand over the AR glasses, he excitedly took them and put them on, then activated his true energy to reactivate the runes and control the puppet.

Next to Xiaoyu was Xiaomi, who also looked expectant. However, she also knew from Xiaoyu that this was a secret technique of the Chen family, which was not to be passed on to outsiders.

The reason they were controlling the mechs to move outwards was naturally to go to the capital to participate in the robot mech competition.

The competition starts tomorrow. After today, I can get a good rest tonight and participate in the first preliminary round tomorrow.

A transport vehicle was already parked in Chen's parking lot. It was to transport the rudimentary puppet to Qingming City, and then by air to Beijing.

After loading the mecha onto the vehicle, Chen Han also went to Qingming City Airport, accompanied by his junior sister and Xiao Mi, both of whom were interested in the competition.

After all, these days it's all about generating buzz. Filming some videos at the competition venue also brings them a lot of attention.

When Chen's tourists left, they all uploaded the videos they had taken to the internet.

Some videos quickly caused a sensation, especially the scene where the mecha could walk on its own, with its agile and upright gait, which was something that could not be found in this era.

In an office of the Robotics and Mech League, Tong Fei was reviewing the competition materials, thinking about how to arrange the schedule for the Chen family and how to cooperate. Since the Chen family head was a popular figure, he planned to arrange for some very weak robots to participate, deliberately letting them lose to him, even if it meant short-circuiting and becoming unusable, allowing the Chen family head to win.

The competition in Beijing lasts for four days. If the head of the Chen family plays for one more day, that will generate more buzz.

Many of the weaker robots are actually just there for the small amount of funding they receive; if he does a little work, those teams will be willing to participate.

Just as he was finding a few robots to play this role, an employee rushed in and handed him a video: "President Tong, hurry up, this really is the mecha that the Chen family is bringing to participate in the competition."

Tong Fei took the video with a puzzled look and his face immediately showed disbelief.

This isn't the model that Chen bought from that model company?
How could it possibly walk so freely?
Not scientific.

Is it a model exterior with a person inside?

Tong Fei subconsciously shook his head. It was even more impossible. The texture and the sheer weight of that mecha were nothing like the kind of junk that could fit a person inside.

In Beijing, Minister Ma is currently most concerned about this matter, and naturally, he was among the first to see the video of the mecha moving freely.

He was also visibly surprised: "This...this is real?"

The secretary who reported nodded in confirmation: "It's true. This is a video taken by a tourist from the Chen family. Moreover, many tourists took the video. It's clear from the video that the Chen family head is in control."

"Are you kidding me?" Minister Ma was genuinely surprised and immediately took out his phone to dial the number of the person in charge of the model company.

Previously, the Chen family head had become a trending topic because of this model, as well as a video of him practicing martial arts with the model. They had already contacted the model company to inquire about the situation.

Therefore, he had the phone number of the person in charge of that company.

As soon as the call connected, the head of the model company said awkwardly, "Minister Ma, I don't know anything about that mecha. It has absolutely nothing to do with our company."

Seriously, when he saw that mecha model, his jaw dropped.

He knows best what his own mecha model looks like. Although the joints are flexible, they are definitely not as flexible as in the video.

More importantly, the mecha models they made simply couldn't walk automatically like in the video.

If they were truly capable of creating such a mecha, they wouldn't need to rely on the Chen family head's popularity so much.

But the mecha model was made by his own company, and he had no idea why it turned out like this.

So when he received calls from people asking if his company's mecha models were that awesome, he really wanted to say, "I wish my company's mechas were that awesome too!"

After receiving the reply, Minister Ma watched the video again and was deeply impressed by the freely moving mechs.

The Nantianmen Project is just a conceptual plan promoted by the higher authorities; there is no direction for its implementation yet. Does this mean that Patriarch Chen is the one to find the direction first?
It should be noted that the higher-ups actually had no clue about the South Heavenly Gate project.

The mecha controlled by the Chen family head is clearly no longer a model; it can move freely, adapt to certain environments, and even be aggressive. What does this mean?
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it 'epoch-making'.

As he thought about it, he became increasingly alarmed. Could the Chen family head really have come up with something so amazing?
...

Time passed, and Chen Han arrived in Beijing again. After landing at the airport, he was greeted by people from the Robot Mech League holding signs.

In this regard, the other party is clearly very proactive.

Moreover, with the other party's help, he quickly completed the relevant procedures. The rudimentary puppet had already been airlifted over. Once the procedures were completed, it was transported to its destination. The other party even provided a place to store the mecha, which was under full surveillance, so he could rest assured.

Actually, Chen Han was not at ease with surveillance. A skilled or powerful hacker could easily tamper with it.

He felt more at ease relying on the incantation.

Upon arrival at his accommodation, league officials came to fill out the necessary forms and procedures for the competition.

The night passed without any problems arising.

The next day, after having breakfast with his junior sister and Xiao Mi, Chen Han and the transport vehicle took the novice puppets to the competition venue in the suburbs.

A robot fighting arena has long been built here. There are five such arenas in the country, and each location will take turns hosting the league to determine the top few. Then, the top few from the five locations will hold a final.

Although the robotics competition is not widely promoted, its competition system is still very well-established.

There will be a preliminary round this morning and afternoon. He will be playing against two robots, and the morning round is scheduled as the first match.

He understood the league's objective: to get off to a winning start.

However, his rudimentary puppet might give the other party a big surprise.

When Chen Han arrived at the competition venue, he found a huge crowd of people checking tickets. The sheer popularity of the event seemed to contradict any indication of poor promotion or lukewarm reception.

However, when he appeared, the ticket inspectors all called out to him and greeted him, and even took pictures with their phones. He realized that they were there for him.

Once Chen Han entered the arena, league staff guided him to a dedicated rest and modification area, and others helped transport the novice puppets.

In the dedicated rest and modification area, participating teams can repair and adjust their robots.

These things were naturally of no use to Chen Han.

After some time, I noticed that the music was playing and the host's voice was ringing out, indicating that the competition was about to begin.

Minister Ma appeared in a VIP room of the league, accompanied by his secretary and guards. He obviously did not enter under his real name; someone had taken care of everything.

The secretary, holding the match list, said, "Minister, the people in this league are quite shrewd. They actually put the Chen family head in the first match, which will generate a lot of buzz. If the Chen family head wins, the buzz will be even greater."

"Let me fix the match and let the Chen family head win." Minister Ma smiled and said, "This is just free publicity."

There's just one thing: does Patriarch Chen really need to let go of this mecha?

This is also why he was curious and couldn't help but come here to see for himself.

While the two were chatting, the opening ceremony of the competition was basically over. The host announced the start of the competition and read out the names of the contestants for the first match.

The moment the words "Head of the Chen Family" were mentioned, cheers erupted from the crowd, as many people had bought their tickets specifically to see him.

Minister Ma and his secretary also subconsciously looked out through the VIP room window and saw the Chen family head walking out of a passage.

He was also wearing the AR glasses from the video, but what attracted the most attention was the J-16 mech following behind him.

The mech actually did walk out on its own, just like in the video.

The audience members who came specifically for this event were amazed to see the mecha walking on its own.

"It's actually true! How did Patriarch Chen manage to do that?"

"The mecha models sold by that company don't move at all; Patriarch Chen must have done something."

"It's so agile, unbelievable. Has this kind of self-propelled mecha appeared in the blink of an eye?"

"..."

Amidst the incredulous gasps of the audience, an even more unbelievable scene unfolded: the opponent's robot was flat and wheeled, making it impossible to enter the fighting cage, so staff had to carry it in.

But the Chen family head's mecha actually reached the entrance, bent down, and stepped inside himself, leaving all the staff dumbfounded.

The audience was stunned.

Minister Ma was equally dumbfounded. Being able to bend over like that and stretch out his leg to step in was completely different from walking freely; it was many times more difficult.

This shows that the mecha's joints are extremely flexible, or rather, its structure is extremely flexible, and perfectly so.

"Just how far has the Chen family head managed to get this thing?" Minister Ma muttered to himself, then stared wide-eyed as the mecha pulled out the long sword from the groove on its back.

This action completely shocked everyone.

This is definitely not a person inside a shell.

Suddenly, the gasps of surprise grew louder.

The opposing robot team consisted of graduate students from the Science and Technology Institute of *State University. They were young and popular, and seeing the other team's robots eliciting such a huge cheer made them feel rather bitter.

But... Master Chen's mecha is really cool.

They knew about the model company's model, and had even studied it; it was simply impossible for it to have such terrifying flexibility.

Thinking that they would be acting alongside the Chen family this time, they decided to control their robots to circle the mecha a few more times. Even if they were pretending to lose, they couldn't lose too quickly, or they would appear too weak and fake.

Of course, they also need to be careful not to knock down the Chen family head's mecha. Even if this kind of mecha is agile, it would be difficult to control if it fell down.
As the two robots entered the arena, the host announced in a loud voice: "The first match of the highly anticipated Robot Mech League is now beginning!"

Almost simultaneously, the team from the State Academy of Sciences began controlling their robots to rotate and circle around the Chen family patriarch's mecha.

Their robots are incredibly agile; their speed is such that other robots can't keep up, let alone a powerful mech like the Chen family head's.

But the next moment, they witnessed a shocking scene: the mech suddenly bent its legs and leaped high into the air.

The audience was just as stunned!

"Damn it..."

"Holy shit..."

"Damn it..."

"... "

"What?" Minister Ma stuck his whole head out of the window.

That mech can walk and bend over to enter the fighting cage, which is bad enough, but now it can even jump?
And why did he jump so high?
Before Minister Ma could react, he suddenly saw the sword in the mecha's hand point downwards and fall heavily to the ground.

Bang!
clang! ~
A terrifying metallic clang rang out instantly, accompanied by a burst of sparks. A horrifying scene unfolded, even causing the audience to freeze and fall silent.

At that moment, Minister Ma was trembling all over.

He seemed to see the birth of a war machine.
