I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 358 The horn sounded dumbfounded! A dreamlike battle royale game!

Chen Han glanced at Shangyuan Village after seeing the demonic quest.

The horn was blaring in the village, so the person couldn't run away. He went back to Chen's house first.

He went straight to the third floor of the General Affairs Hall and entered the family's cave dwelling with a single thought.

There was no one inside the cave at this time.

He looked at the magical puppet, controlled it to the pile of i-r41 metal, and chose to upgrade it again.

This time, the game system notification was different:

[Congratulations! You have met the requirements for upgrading your level 1 Magic Puppet. Would you like to upgrade it?]

Chen Han directly chose yes.

The whole trip to the United States was just to upgrade it.

The next moment, a blood-red bead condensed, and the puppet heart in the demonic puppet seemed to be drawn out of the demonic puppet's chest.

At this moment, the metal chest of the demonic puppet was like ripples on water, offering no obstruction to the puppet's heart.

The next moment, the Blood Spirit Orb collided with the Puppet Heart and began to fuse in a very surprising way.

At the same time, streaks of blood-red runes condensed on the puppet's heart, rapidly spreading across the puppet's entire body, eventually covering the i-r41 metal at the puppet's feet.

The metal was also drawn by the runes, then quickly softened and melted into a liquid, swimming upwards along the feet of the demonic puppet.

This wasn't the first time such a scene had been witnessed. During the last modification of the demonic puppet, many mecha model parts also flew over and merged into the demonic puppet.

[The demonic puppet is being upgraded...]

Looking at the demonic puppet that was instantly covered in blood-red runes, Chen Han knew that this upgrade would take a considerable amount of time.

After observing for a while, he left the family's cave dwelling, returned to his own residence, took a bath, and then changed into a clean Taoist robe.

He sat down in the courtyard, looked at the message in his mind: "Inform Mingdi that you are also a demon, and subdue Mingdi." Then he took out his phone and dialed Mingdi's number.

If this were a game storyline, and the attempt to capture the enemy failed, shouldn't the enemy have been eliminated?
Shangyuan Village was very lively today because Mingdi, along with his cousin Xu Bin and Zhu Xueqin, did a live broadcast to sell products.

Title: Helping farmers in Linhe County sell their mountain products.

He mainly wanted to build his reputation and test the waters with this live stream; he didn't intend to make much money, as long as he didn't lose money.

Moreover, after the news spread in the past two days, villagers from Shangyuan Village and nearby villages have brought a lot of mountain products, such as winter bamboo shoots, winter pickled vegetables, five-finger peach root, various fungi, duck foot wood honey, and so on.

Upon receiving the news, the county leaders also organized a large number of people to collect the mountain products.

This is a great thing.

They also support the live broadcast of the horn sounding.

Seeing this, Mingdi also planned that if the sales results were good this time, he would also lead the villagers of Shangyuan Village to open a mountain products factory to specialize in purchasing, producing, packaging and selling mountain products.

The number of viewers for Mingdi's live stream has now exceeded 2, so the sales effect is quite good. Although it can't compare with those super sales influencers, the fan support makes the effect very good.

Many of these winter bamboo shoots were freshly dug, which was obvious at a glance, and they were snapped up in no time.

Therefore, he felt that there was still potential in the mountain produce factory.

My phone vibrated; a call was coming in.

He definitely wouldn't answer if it were someone else calling.

However, upon seeing that it was the number of the Chen family head, he immediately answered: "Hello, Chen family head, what are your orders?"

He deliberately shouted the words "Master Chen" very loudly.

If someone calls and he answers, it will negatively impact his live stream, causing him to lose viewership and potentially receive warnings from Douyin.

But the Chen family head is different. The other party is also an internet celebrity, but Douyin won't warn him. More importantly, it will increase the online popularity of the live stream.

Sure enough, upon hearing the name "Head of the Chen Family," the live chat became much more lively, with everyone posting content related to him.

Chen Han's voice came from the phone: "Mingdi, you've been here at Chen's for quite a while now. Come and make me a cup of tea. I have something to tell you."

“Okay, bro.” Mingdi refused without hesitation, hung up the phone, and immediately picked up his live streaming phone to head to the Chen family's office.

As he walked, he continued to introduce the products: "You can check out the link to the mountain products on the yellow bike. They are all pure mountain products sent by farmers from Linhe County. If you like them, you can place an order. I need to go see Master Chen now."

Just as he expected, with the mention of the Chen family head, people knew he was going to find the Chen family head, and the number of viewers in the live stream increased, as did the number of online viewers.

Many people stayed because they saw his live stream and were drawn in by the Chen family head; otherwise, many would have chosen to leave immediately.

Mingdi was overjoyed to see the increase in online viewers, but he had no idea what awaited him.

He was very familiar with the residence of the Chen family head.

After entering the Chen family compound, we went straight there.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I could smell the aroma of premium Leizhu Ling Tea.

The head of the Chen family was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, brewing tea.

He quickly turned the live stream towards the head of the Chen family, and the audience's enthusiasm soared upon seeing the main figure.

"You're here, have a seat!" Chen Han invited Mingdi to sit down. He noticed that the other person was live streaming, but he didn't mind. He even poured Mingdi a cup of tea: "Try this freshly brewed premium Leizhu Spirit Tea."

Mingdi picked up his teacup, took a sip, and first said politely, "Patriarch Chen, your Chen family's premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea is always unforgettable."

Then he put down his teacup and asked, "Master Chen, what brings you here?"

Chen Han poured himself a glass of wine and said jokingly, "Mingdi, as a master of the demonic path, it's not easy to infiltrate our Chen clan's territory and even gain status and reputation among those rogue immortals, is it? I bet you never thought that you had actually been exposed long ago, did you?"

“???” Mingdi was stunned by the sudden words.

what's going on?
Did it suddenly switch to the video's storyline?
However, having played Douyin for so long, he could roughly guess the purpose of the Chen family head: the story videos were a bit old-fashioned, and the Chen family head wanted to add some new elements.

Or perhaps the Chen family head knew he was promoting agricultural products today and wanted to help him gain popularity and build his reputation.

After all, the head of the Chen family has always treated the villagers well, and as the Chen family developed, he never forgot to help everyone get rich.

After the Chen family head appeared, his number of online users nearly doubled in a short period of time.

So, he quickly adapted to the situation and picked up where Chen Patriarch left off, feigning panic: "Patriarch Chen, I don't understand what you're saying!"

Seeing this, Chen Han smiled and continued the dialogue: "Whistle, we're all smart people. Haven't you ever thought about why I knew you were a member of the demonic path, but didn't kill you and let you continue like this?"

"Patriarch Chen, what exactly is your purpose?" Mingdi asked in disbelief, following the plot of his discovery.

It wasn't that he liked to act; it was because after the Chen family head spoke, his live stream became even more lively. Not only did the number of online viewers increase, but the barrage of comments instantly became dense.

"Haha, has live-streaming e-commerce suddenly turned into a sitcom?"

"Is this an extra perk for live-streaming sales? Bonus Chapter: Honking the horn, you've given yourself away?"

"We used to watch videos about the feud between the Chen family head and Mingdi, but is this being broadcast live today?"

"..."

The audience is so interested, so tell me if we're going to cooperate with the storyline of the Chen family head and continue?
Chen Han still smiled and said, "Mingdi, I know you are a talent of the demonic path, so I want to subdue you, because I am also a person of the demonic path."

"Huh???" Mingdi was taken aback by these words.

Even if the video's plot is meant to be abstract, this is way too abstract!

Patriarch Chen, aren't you a righteous master? We're not enemies, so how come you've suddenly turned to the demonic path?
Do you want to be the most deeply hidden villain in the video's storyline?

Not only did the horn fail to register the alarm, but his viewers in the live stream were also stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.

"Haha, I burst out laughing when I saw the bewildered look on the horn."

"The Chen family head is starting to reveal his true identity; is he the real demonic one?"

"This plot seems to make sense; the righteous patriarch is often the deepest villain."

"Perhaps the head of the Chen family suddenly wanted to infiltrate the demonic path, which makes sense, as there are many storylines where the main characters deliberately become demonic."

"Won't it turn out that Mingdi was actually a double agent, and that he's actually a righteous person?"

"..."

Watching the lively atmosphere in the live stream, Mingdi couldn't help but admire the viewers' wildly imaginative yet perfectly reasonable ideas. Crucially, with Chen's appearance and antics, his live stream viewership surpassed 5.

This is clearly a measurement given by the 鈄音.

Without hesitation, he called out to the viewers in the live stream: "Dear viewers, let me first say that this is a live stream to help farmers sell their products. Chen Jiazhu and I are helping farmers in Linhe County sell their mountain products. If you need any mountain products, you can place an order."

After the introduction, he instantly changed his expression, looking at the Chen family head with a look of horror: "Clan head Chen, I did not expect you to be so well hidden. The dignified leader of the righteous path is actually a member of our Holy Sect. I am no match for you. I am willing to submit to you."

The smooth transition of the horn sounding was truly impressive to the viewers in the live stream, with many commenting "666" (a Chinese internet slang for "awesome").

Of course, after being amused, many viewers were very accommodating and placed orders for some local products.

After all, this is something that anyone can use in their home.

Moreover, this can be considered a show of support, after all, the Chen family head and Mingdi put on such a good show for everyone for this live-streaming sales event.

"Truly submit?" Chen Han asked again.

"Patriarch Chen, I truly submit sincerely," Mingdi reassured him.

Just as he finished speaking, a game notification sounded:
[Congratulations! You have successfully recruited the demonic master Mingdi, gaining your first demonic subordinate. You have also received a special reward: Nightmare, one of the Five Demonic Arts!]

Chen Han had to admit that this demonic quest was really easy to complete. Compared to previous quests, the rewards were so easy to obtain, it was like picking them up for free.

Chen Han knew that Mingdi was live-streaming, so he didn't bother him after completing the task. He said, "Mingdi, since that's the case, do your own thing and keep lying low. You'll be useful sometime."

"Master Chen, then I won't bother you any longer." Mingdi replied and took his leave. In a short time, the number of viewers in the live stream increased by more than 2. It was time to go back and do some live streaming sales.

Villagers from various villages brought a lot of mountain products.

He is now increasingly certain that the Chen family head orchestrated this whole thing to help him generate buzz and promote his products.

This also shows that his group of villagers from Linhe County were right to handle the mountain products, and that the Chen family head supported them.

However, for the sake of the live broadcast, after leaving the Chen family head's courtyard, he changed his tune and said to the viewers in the live broadcast room: "Fellow practitioners, I have witnessed that although I have submitted to the Chen family head, it is only a temporary compromise. A dignified righteous family head is actually a demonic person. The Dog Demon King brothers are under his control and are in great danger. I must find a way to rescue the Dog Demon King brothers."

If any viewers in the live stream know the demonic cultivator Mingdi, they won't be surprised that he keeps mentioning the Dog Demon King brother; isn't that how he always does it in his previous videos?

Taking advantage of the high level of popularity, Mingdi quickly returned to the place where he had previously stored his live-streaming sales data, as this was the best time to sell products.

Moreover, given the popularity, he quickly sold all those mountain products.

At the end of the live stream, he solemnly said, "Today's live stream has come to a successful conclusion. All of the farmers' mountain products have been sold. Here, I would like to thank the viewers who made purchases, and also thank Mr. Chen for making a special appearance for this event to help farmers sell their products."

Hearing this, the viewers in the live stream weren't surprised at all; they knew that the Chen family head was appearing on camera to generate buzz for the live stream.

Furthermore, what kind of demonic path exists in reality?

How could the head of the Chen family be a demon?
But what no one knew was that Chen Han was already debating whether or not to find someone to test his newly acquired magical skill.

The game inventory now contains jade slips for this skill.

【Nightmare of the Five Magical Arts: This is a special magical spell. After use, it can plunge a person into a nightmare. It can trigger the nightmare that the victim fears most, or it can create a nightmare specifically for the victim, making them terrified in the nightmare created by the caster.

Special: With the right special magical artifact, this Nightmare Spell can also become a large-scale, area-of-effect spell.

Upon seeing the notes on the jade slip, Chen Han immediately thought of the dream realm of the Soul-Summoning Banner.

Does this mean we can cooperate with each other?
Chen Han thought about it and eagerly used the Nightmare technique of the Five Demonic Arts. In an instant, a stream of information flooded into his mind.

Once he fully accepted the Nightmare Technique and understood how to create nightmares and how to combine them with magical artifacts, a thought popped into his mind: Dream Battle Royale.

The quest to subdue the horn actually gave him a pretty good skill.

It's been so long since Dreamland opened, isn't it time to give those tourists who love Dreamland a little thrill?

For example, the settings of movies like "The Hunger Games," "Saw," and "The Labyrinth" could be used as a starting point.

Thinking it over, he immediately took out his computer and searched for these movies, finally deciding to use the gameplay from the movie "The Squid Game" to give the tourists a huge surprise.

Chen Han spent the entire afternoon weaving a nightmare dream—a grand and thrilling one.

I didn't stop until evening. After eating something and resting in the yard, I took out my phone and watched some videos.

He trended on social media again that night, this time related to his live-streaming e-commerce featuring horn honking.

"A righteous clan leader and a demonic cultivator teamed up to promote agricultural products—it's incredibly touching!"

"As everyone knows, the Chen family head is the head of the Chen clan, and Mingdi is a demonic sorcerer. In order to help farmers sell their products, the two of them specially joined forces to put on a grand show of righteous and demonic spies!"

"Horn... I too am a follower of the demonic path..."

"...Patriarch Chen, you've been hiding your true intentions far too well..."

"As everyone has seen the video, the script for the two of them has clearly taken a new turn..."

"However, this time when Mingdi was live-streaming sales, he didn't take much of the profits. Most of the profits went to the farmers, which was a true way to help farmers."

"This also shows the noble character of Patriarch Chen and Mingdi, which is definitely something we should learn from."

The video ends with footage of the migrant workers thanking the horn. To be honest, seeing the farmers expressing their gratitude so profusely, and one even recounting the hardships of his wife being bedridden, was quite touching.

Chen Han felt a little embarrassed, after all, he had only asked Ming to go over and complete a task, which was already a noble act.

The problem is that even though he said he was a member of the demonic path in front of so many people, no one believed him.

Sigh, to have fallen into such a demonic state as him, one can only say his character is remarkably steadfast.

However, one news item on the trending topics list caught his attention.

A peculiar infectious disease has emerged in the United States, specifically in the predominantly Black neighborhood of the city center. The area has been locked down, and affected Black residents have been quarantined. A $1 million project has been approved for infectious disease treatment…

The news report included two images: a locked-down Black neighborhood and a video of Black people covering their faces and wailing.

Chen Han was stunned.

infectious disease?
Isn't this exactly what he used for his Tooth Gnashing and Hemorrhoid Growth techniques?
However, upon seeing the $1 million special fund, he realized he wasn't stupid and understood what was going on.

It's really dark.

No wonder demonic masters and demons like to flee here. Is there anything more demonic than this place?
Most of that hundred million US dollars will probably end up in the pockets of some unorthodox individuals.

However, Chen Han didn't care about any of that. It would be best if all the black slaves died. After that, he put away his phone and went into the room where the summoning banner was placed.

Upon reaching the computer-shaped banner used for summoning souls, he placed his palm on the screen to exorcise demons. At this moment, he had activated the Demonic Heart, and all the true energy within his body had transformed into demonic energy.

Streams of demonic energy surged from his hands, condensing into runes that drilled into the computer screen.

Thinking about how he had copied the battle royale gameplay from "The Squid Game," he was actually looking forward to seeing the expressions on the tourists' faces.

...

As night fell, Wu Yan (Chapter 201) was already busy.

After Chen's Dream Tourism business was launched, his homestay business also doubled in size, and he made a lot of money.

Although other tour guides in Linhe County have also started this project and are studying how to lead people into Chen's dream world, their professional skills are far inferior to his.

Only that internet celebrity honking in Shangyuan Village has the same ability as him.

However, this kind of money can never be fully earned. After all, there are so many tourists from Chen's area, and it would be best if we could work together to make the pie bigger.

Wu Yan glanced at today's tourist list; quite a few people had signed up. He needed to prepare more medicine to help them enter a dream state.

However, giving medicine to tourists is against regulations, so he used the name "Dream Building Pill" to refer to it as a health product.

After preparing his things, he checked the time and asked the driver to bring over the special bus. Then, holding up the tour guide flag, he led the tourists to the Chen family's residence.

Along the way, he acted as a qualified tour guide, explaining the precautions to everyone. When they arrived at Chen's parking lot, he began distributing Dream-Building Pills to the tourists.

After the tourists swallowed the Dream-Building Pill, he also swallowed it, which was part of his daily work.

You could say this is something they're very familiar with.

Today, however, he had no idea what awaited him and the tourists on the bus.

Wu Yan woke up groggily, a headache hitting him, which made him realize something was wrong; he hadn't experienced this when he entered Chen's dream before.

Moreover, he heard the tourists murmuring right next to his ear, which was also incorrect. Normally, when people enter Chen's dream world, they are now awake from their own dream.
