I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 1 Loading the game world...

On a June afternoon, the wind swept in, carrying the scent of midsummer, and the air was filled with the increasingly intense heat.

Outside a cluster of ancient buildings, a pavilion bearing a Taoist Bagua (Eight Trigrams) symbol stands beneath three tall old elm trees.

Chen Han, dressed in a simple T-shirt and jeans, leaned wearily against the gazebo.

His feelings were complicated.

A month ago, he felt that God was still kind to him. Although his parents had passed away long ago, they gave him handsome looks and a girlfriend who was a goddess of traditional Chinese style with more than 300 million fans. Everyone envied him.

However, a month ago, he was diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer after vomiting blood.

He didn't know how he, at the young age of 24, could be dying so soon, especially since there had been no warning beforehand.

Chen Han looked helplessly at the Chen family's ancient architectural complex, a Taoist lineage, stretching before him.

The Chen family is one of the few Taoist families in modern times that still maintains its clan tradition.

As the only son of the Chen family, he naturally became the head of the family and the largest owner of this ancient building complex after his parents passed away.

If this were a big city, a 24-year-old could own the entire complex of ancient buildings and simply sit back and count his money. But the Chen family lives in a village in a small county like Linhe, which is quite awkward.

Even though they applied for funding from the county to develop tourism, the number of tourists attracted was limited. As a result, the family members did not benefit from the tourism development and all left their hometown to work elsewhere.

Actually, his initial approach to the "national style goddess" girlfriend was not for pure purposes. He wanted to use her influence of over 300 million followers on Douyin to promote the Chen family's ancient architectural complex, since this is the most mainstream way to promote scenic spots in Douyin.

A goddess of traditional Chinese style combined with ancient architecture—isn't that the perfect match?
Unfortunately, bad news suddenly struck.

In his remaining days, he could only flee back here in a sorry state.

There are really quite a few regrets.

After all, he had just gotten to first base with such a beautiful girlfriend, and they hadn't even had a chance to fully explore their potential. He wondered how she was doing now.

He has not yet fulfilled his parents' last wish to promote the Chen family's ancient architectural complex.

My parents died in a mudslide while they were on their way to apply for investment in the development of the Chen family's ancient architectural complex tourism project in the county.

I really feel bad for my parents now that things have turned out this way.

After sighing, he could only look to a scene in his mind as his last hope:
[The game world of "Shushan Swordsmen" is 99% loading...]

He didn't understand why, just watching a game ad and getting an electric shock, a warm current flowed into his body and this loading screen appeared in his mind.

After multiple verifications, he confirmed that this was not a hallucination.

It must be what people online often call a "golden finger" (or "cheat code").

Therefore, faced with an incurable disease that modern medicine could not cure, he placed his hopes on this miraculous and incredible thing.

Finally, a voice from the void echoed in his mind:

[The game world of "Shushan Swordsmen" has successfully loaded! Congratulations on successfully entering the game world of "Shushan Swordsmen" and officially beginning your fantasy journey!]

"???" Chen Han looked around the pavilion in a daze.

Where did he successfully travel through time?
Before me are the familiar Chen family ancient building complex, and in the distance are the familiar villages and country roads.

At that moment, Kongming's voice appeared in his mind again:
[Urgent report from the Shu Immortal Alliance: The Blood Demon has broken through the seal of the divine artifact! All the major sects have joined forces to go to the Extreme Demon Realm to annihilate the Blood Demon. Although they failed to reseal it, they severely injured it, allowing it to escape. It has been temporarily quiet!]

To prevent the Blood Demon from recovering and returning, and to protect various regions from the demons under its command, the Shu Mountain Alliance, led by the Emei Sect, will dispatch its disciples to establish affiliated sects in different areas! Therefore, you have chosen to return to the family that raised you!

With this ethereal voice, Chen Han found a very simple game interface appearing in his mind.

The top only shows: Character Panel, Quest Center, and Warehouse.

That's all. There's not even a basic game screen.

This is even more wrong.

After studying it for a while, he discovered that with a thought, the character panel interface would open.

Name: Chen Han

Age: 24
Lifespan: 29 days, 8 hours, 50 minutes, and 23 seconds.

Physical condition: None
Realm: None
Passive skills: none

Active skills: none

It's a very simple description; besides having a lifespan of less than a month, it has nothing else.

That's his message.

Director Liu of the Municipal Affiliated Hospital is truly capable. Just as he said, "If you only have one month to live, try not to leave any regrets about what you want to do."

The interface was surprising. Chen Han immediately opened the task center, where a beginner task was displayed:
You have returned to your clan and discovered that it is being threatened by a dog demon. Please expel the dog demon that has invaded your clan as soon as possible and you will receive a reward: a clan settlement construction token.

Mission objective: Drive the dog demon out of the clan's territory!

"???" Chen Han stared blankly at the task.

Dog demon?

Confused, puzzled, what is this?
In modern civilized society, where would such a thing come from?
No, the game system previously notified him that he had successfully crossed over into the game world of "Shushan Swordsmen".

Damn it, he failed to time travel. "Senior brother, what are you doing here?" A clear and pleasant voice rang out.

He saw a beautiful young woman with a good figure and delicate features, dressed in Hanfu, glaring at him angrily: "Can you put some effort into promoting the Chen Family Ancient Architectural Complex? That was the last wish of Master and Mistress. Look at what you've done in the past month since you came back! Yesterday, my promotion in Douyin attracted another group of tourists from the county. They'll be here soon. You should treat them better."

Chen Han smiled at his junior sister's angry expression. The promotion of the Chen family's ancient building complex really owes a lot to his junior sister. If it weren't for her hard work in filming videos of her sword dancing and Tai Chi in Douyin, which attracted some tourists, it would have been difficult to maintain the business.

"Xiaoyu, you've worked hard." Chen Han couldn't help but sincerely thank her, and looking at her Hanfu, he praised her, "You look very beautiful in your Hanfu today."

Upon hearing the praise, Xiaoyu's angry expression vanished instantly, replaced by a radiant smile. "Senior brother, do you also think it's beautiful? The account 'Xiaoyuza' already has 60 followers. I promised my fans I'd wear this Hanfu for sword dancing."

“Xiaoyu is a big internet celebrity now.” Chen Han smiled and patted her head. He thought of his girlfriend, a goddess of traditional Chinese style with more than 300 million followers. If it weren’t for his late-stage lung cancer, he might have already found an opportunity to bring her to the Chen family.

She and Xiaoyu should get along well.

"Senior brother, please don't make fun of me." Xiaoyu spoke with some embarrassment, but a hint of pride could also be seen on her pretty face.

I'm happy as long as my senior brother praises me.

Seeing that he had successfully gotten his junior sister under control, Chen Han tried asking, "Xiaoyu, I'm playing a game. The beginner quest is to drive away the dog demon that has broken into the family, but I have no idea where the dog demon is. Maybe the dog demon doesn't even exist yet. What do you suggest?"

Xiaoyu touched his forehead: "Senior brother, are you stupid? Ask the nearby NPCs. Aren't there any NPCs in the game?"

Chen Han glanced at his beautiful junior sister with a complicated expression.

I asked, but it wasn't helpful.

Just then, Game Kongming's voice suddenly rang out again:

[An unknown error has occurred in the game, resulting in data loss... The system has detected a large number of data packet fragments and is currently collecting and updating the game...]

【New data package (1) has been successfully loaded. The dog demon has appeared in the Chen family's ancient building complex. Please exorcise it as soon as possible!】

The dog demon's characteristics are: entirely yellow fur, and it lost part of its tail in a battle with other demons.

The next moment, something astonishing happened: a blue halo appeared instantly, enclosing the area of ​​the Chen family's ancient architectural complex.

Judging from her unchanging expression, she clearly couldn't see the blue halo.

Moreover, a game map guide even appeared in his mind.

Isn't that map of the Chen family's ancient architectural complex?

Now there are two more dots above, one white and one red.

The white dot clearly indicates that it's him.

The one with the red dot should be the dog demon.

"Holy crap!" Chen Han suddenly sensed something was wrong. Could it be that he failed to transmigrate successfully, and the game system directly sent a dog demon into reality?
That's really bad.

His ailing body is driving away the hairy dog ​​demon, and even the Chen family will suffer.

Without hesitation, I hurried toward the location of the red dot.

That was the outer courtyard of the Chen family's main hall. As a family that inherited the Taoist tradition, the main hall also enshrined the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable, also known as the True Martial Emperor.

Taoist families typically choose a main deity to worship and follow the scriptures, moral cultivation, and code of conduct preached by the main deity.

In addition to vanquishing demons and monsters, the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable is also a true god who protects the country and blesses all living beings. In the past, the Chen family also followed this principle and protected the surrounding villages.

At that time, the Chen family also possessed a family-inherited Taoist martial arts, and in ancient times they organized young men from the surrounding villages to fight bandits and drive away rebel soldiers.

The Chen family's ancient building complex was also built with donations from people from the surrounding villages at that time.

However, times have changed, and now the younger generation in the surrounding villages and towns are unaware of the Chen family's ancient architectural complex here.

As for the family's martial arts, even he, the head of the family, only learned the fancy moves. He performed them at the school's evening party and was ridiculed for his "dance skills" and questioned, "What if the opponent doesn't cooperate with you to counter your moves?"

Chen Han arrived at the outer courtyard of the Chen family's main hall, panting heavily. Even a short distance was a huge drain on him at this point.

Seeing the entire outer courtyard as quiet as ever, he was once again dumbfounded.

Where is the dog demon?
It can be seen that the red dot almost overlaps with the white dot, and the dog demon is here.

"Wang Wang!"

A barking dog caught his attention, and he saw a small mongrel dog raising one leg to urinate in front of the corner of the wall.

Isn't that just a stray dog ​​from the village that often wanders around here?

The dog demon has arrived, unleashing a powerful demonic aura. Please drive it away immediately!

"???" Chen Han looked at the little stray dog ​​peeing and was completely dumbfounded again.

Is this a dog demon?

Does urinating equal releasing intense demonic energy?

He took a closer look at the little mongrel's tail, and sure enough, a small piece was broken off.

This……
