Even in a strange world, full of dangers, they are in urgent need of awakening the things in their primitive blood.
Noel's parade plan was really designed to adapt to local customs.
Since there were three people in the team who were from Dragon Country, he brought them directly to this place full of Dragon Country flavor.
"Let's go, there's better stuff ahead." Noel said with a smile.
He led the way in front, like a gentle breeze, quietly and slowly pushing aside the crowded crowd, clearing the way for Su Mingan and others behind.
He moved skillfully through the interconnected alleys, walking lightly in front of everyone. He did not seem to be in a crowded crowd, but rather like he was walking on the most ordinary street.
The scented breeze blew his golden hair, and the red string of the mask tied behind his head swayed slightly. It seemed that a faint smell of sweet food emanated from his body.
Su Mingan was a little dazed.
He recalled the spring outing during his sophomore year in high school.
At that time, he was also walking among his classmates, with the laughter of the crowd in his ears and holding in his hand a candied haws given to him by his desk mate. The sweet taste stayed with him for a long time and he still remembers it vividly until now.
Past memories kept fading in his mind, like old photos that were gradually turning yellow. What replaced them were various skill application techniques, information on plot lines, and the lingering and accumulated pain of death.
His memories before the start of the World Game had naturally begun to blur.
Squeezing through the crowd, he walked up the moss-covered stone steps.
There are pavilions and antique wooden buildings. Wild grass grows wildly on the edge of the mountain, and green stone statues stand beside the slowly flowing stream. Several old houses sit quietly in front.
Lanterns are hung on the four corners of the ancient building, and pools and incense burners are placed around it. The furnishings are full of Zen, and there is a fresh scent of pine needles and bamboo forests in the air.
Several people went to draw lots.
Noel is the last one, while Lu Shu and Lin Yin are the young ones.
"Try it?" Lin Yin motioned Su Mingan to draw quickly.
"I'd better not smoke it. What if I get a bad one? The atmosphere will be ruined." Su Mingan said, "Besides, I don't believe in this."
"Hey, it's okay, we won't laugh at you even if you draw 'bad'!"
Lin Yin immediately grabbed his arm and pulled him onto the stall.
After taking a look at the cheerful fortune teller, Su Ming'an sighed, pressed down the mask on his face, and turned over the wooden sign in his hand.
…
【Good luck】
…
The black words on the wooden sign seemed to foreshadow a bright future.
"You're so lucky to have drawn this," said Noel.
The first player draws "Da Ji", which is of great value.
...Because in a sense, his good luck also represents the good luck of many people.
"Maybe." Su Ming'an touched the word "Da Ji" on the wooden sign and put it in his pocket.
"Let's go, next stop!" Lin Yin waved her hand.
Later, they went to many different places.
They went to get the amulet, walked through the mirror maze, played a game of drifting where the use of abilities was prohibited, watched an electronic music festival, and also watched an "e-sports competition in the regional server" organized by the players.
They tasted various snacks along the way, watched a shadow play, and bought some serious gossip books about the top players. Noel said that he would use this to mock others in the Eighth World.
They walked across the internet-famous bridge, listened to a heated discussion about the No. 1 player in a teahouse, learned about the new chess and cards developed during the World Game, and played a few games against each other.
Finally, they arrived at the highlight of the day - the "Annual Exhibition of World Game Culture".
Unlike the traditional "comic exhibition", this is more like an exhibition for people of all ages, with fan fiction, stage plays, cosplayer groups, joint dance troupes, and all kinds of novels, comics, popular science books, peripherals and other cultural products derived from world games for sale. Its main focus is not "two-dimensional" and animation, but all the derivative culture of "world games".
When entering the door, Noel took out four sets of tickets that he had prepared long ago.
"It just so happened that when I tried to buy the tickets, they were almost sold out. Although this kind of exhibition is basically open to adventure players for free, I didn't want to leak the information." Noel said, "As a result, a player named 'Xiaoxiao' took the initiative to come to the New World Guild and ran into me. He said he was responsible for selling second-hand tickets, so he got them for me."
...What a familiar name.
Su Mingan heard this very prominent name, but he didn't think about it too much.
As soon as the few people entered, they heard a loud shout that was very noticeable.
"——The first player! It's you!"
The shout was like thunder, and it was particularly loud in the noisy conference hall, rumbling through the rolling crowd.
“——!”
Su Mingan had just stepped forward with his left foot, but he immediately retracted it. He pressed his hand on the mask on his face and began to prepare for spatial displacement.
——This is such a bad start!
He was caught just after entering the venue... Although he has almost relaxed enough now, there is no need to get involved in this crowded place.
But, now I'm here.
I've come here, but I've been discovered as soon as I saw you...
By the way, his face was not revealed, how did they find out...
"Don't be nervous." Noel stopped him with a smile, his tone still calm: "Look carefully."
Su Mingan raised his head.
"——Fearless guys, I am shocked by your courage." A loud response once again resounded throughout the venue.
