Azir's face was solemn as he turned to Ye Ling. "Miss Ye Ling, there's one more thing... We would like you to introduce Earth's...art to our people."
"Art?" Ye Ling raised her eyebrows. This was indeed a difficult question.
She has dismantled mechas and repaired engines, but asking her to talk about art is harder than asking her to dismantle a Gundam with her bare hands!
The thing is, the alien civilization held a grand cultural exhibition to celebrate the cooperation.
Ye Ling was dazzled by the various bizarre exhibits, like the molting skin of some giant insect, liquid emitting faint fluorescent light, and metal sculptures that kept changing shape...
How should I describe this artistic taste? It’s very abstract!
Now, it's Earth's turn to showcase culture.
Ambassador Zhang wiped his sweat and frantically hinted to Ye Ling: Show us our cultural treasures!
Ye Ling was under tremendous pressure. Looking at the huge crowd of aliens in the audience, she felt even more nervous than the college entrance examination.
These aliens' understanding of art is probably a world away from that of humans on Earth.
How would she introduce herself?
Is he performing a stone-breaking performance?
As time passed, the atmosphere on the scene gradually became tense.
The alien scholars whispered to each other, seemingly questioning the cultural heritage of the Earth.
Ye Ling thought quickly and connected to the core of the ancient mecha.
The core quickly analyzed the cultural data of the alien civilization and found a breakthrough: color!
These aliens are extremely sensitive to colors, and their artworks are mostly based on bright colors.
Ye Ling curled the corners of her mouth, got it!
She took a deep breath and began her performance: "Art is the expression of human emotion and the crystallization of civilization..." As she explained, she used the mecha core to project various art forms on Earth: the freehand brushwork of ink painting, the richness of oil painting, the three-dimensionality of sculpture...
At the same time, she skillfully combines these art forms with the colors favored by alien civilizations to create a brand new visual experience.
The atmosphere on the scene instantly became boiling!
The alien people were fascinated by the scene and expressed their amazement.
Azir stood up excitedly and led the applause: "Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Miss Ye Ling, your creativity is truly breathtaking!"
Ye Ling smiled slightly and was about to say something modest when suddenly, Azir leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Ms. Ye Ling, regarding what you just mentioned... 'Second Dimension'..."
Ye Ling's "art bomb" completely ignited the enthusiasm of the aliens.
The blank space in ink painting collides with the fluorescent pigments unique to aliens, creating a dreamy visual effect; the rich colors of oil painting are combined with metal sculptures, as if giving the sculptures life; even emoticons, a "cultural heritage" of the Earth era, are cleverly integrated into alien text by Ye Ling, causing the audience to burst into laughter.
For a time, Earth culture became the hottest "Internet celebrity", and alien artists expressed their desire to form a group to go to Earth to "learn from it", and some even wanted to worship Ye Ling as their master on the spot.
Ambassador Zhang was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, as if he saw a bright future for the Earth's cultural exports to reach the pinnacle of the universe.
"Ding——" Ye Ling's communicator vibrated. It was a bouquet of virtual roses sent by Duan Yu with the text: "Good performance, this is your reward." Ye Ling raised the corners of her mouth and responded with a wink.
Although this guy was still as frugal with words as ever, she could truly feel the concern hidden beneath the iceberg.
After the cultural exchange activity, Azir took Ye Ling's hand and talked endlessly about the charm of the two-dimensional world.
What about "wife", "true love", "氪金", and so on, he knows more than Ye Ling, an old 2D player.
Ye Ling couldn't help but sigh that the power of cultural output is really strong!
Just as Ye Ling was immersed in the joy of success, she keenly caught a few strange glances.
These people hid at the edge of the crowd, observing furtively. Although their clothes were similar to those of other aliens, Ye Ling always felt that something was wrong.
She quietly started the mecha core scan, and the result made her heart tighten: these people all had some special energy fluctuations, which were extremely similar to the energy fluctuations of the spy Carl who was captured before!
"Mr. Azir," Ye Ling approached him calmly, "Do you feel that the atmosphere here today is... a little too heated?" Before Azir could respond, Ye Ling suddenly reached out and pointed at a suspicious figure in the crowd: "Look at that person, doesn't he look familiar?"
The figure seemed to notice Ye Ling's gaze, turned around abruptly and disappeared into the crowd.
Ye Ling was about to chase after him, but was stopped by Azir: "Ms. Ye Ling, please be patient, maybe it's just your illusion..."
Ye Ling looked straight into Azir's eyes with a cold expression: "Illusion? I hope so."
