A spectacular promotional feature about my hometown’s culture and tourism is here!!!
Every scenic spot, historical site, local specialty, intangible cultural heritage item, and legend mentioned in this story is real.
Shenqiu, a small city in eastern Henan where Yu the Great sealed ten thousand demons.
Lin Yan, a socially anxious little blogger, only meant to shoot a short video for some quick cash. Instead, a thousand-year-old locust tree demon scams him, forcibly binding him to the “Tomato Check-In System”:
[Mission]: Gather all ten fragments of the “Ten Thousand Demons Picture,” or the demons of Shenqiu will emerge and humanity will be doomed.
[Rules]: At every scenic spot, gain more than 1,000 livestream followers within 24 hours, or be electrocuted to death!
[Rewards]: Spiritual energy points can be exchanged for intangible cultural heritage skills, including Liangyi Fist, Shahe Big Drum, and the Gu family’s steamed-bun sculpting technique…
From then on, he sets off on an absurd journey of “livestreaming, selling local products, and saving the world all at once”:
At the Chinese Locust Garden, glowing locust leaves become a livestream comment screen;
At the ruins of Ruxiang Terrace, a butterfly dance summons the spirit of a bronze cauldron;
On a night cruise along the Shaying River, a water demon DJ sells five tons of fermented fish;
At the Qinggudui Han tomb, General Cat ships nine lives to your door, postage paid;
At Hua Tuo’s Herb Garden, a demon doctor livestreams surgery with zero bloodshed;
In the ancient city of the Shenzi Kingdom, the Demon Emperor wants to trade GDP for an ID card…
Ten volumes complete, all ten scenic spots checked in, all ten picture fragments gathered
The ten thousand demons emerge, and culture and tourism attain godhood!
Open this book and enjoy the thrills while you shop:
Gu family steamed buns, Zhaofeng liquor, Butterfly Fairy sachets, and cat-figure blind boxes. The shopping cart links are in the chapter comments!
