Feel the cultural influence
Half a year after the passage between Earth and Parnaki was opened, the two worlds finally merged completely.
From then on, Parnaki and the Earth were no longer two countries suspended in the sky, but the two worlds were closely connected into a whole through the East China Sea, sharing what they had.
Half a year was enough time for the two worlds to go from being strangers to being familiar with each other. In order to eliminate all barriers when the two worlds officially came into contact, the students of Class Nine tried every possible means.
The first step was to spread power grids and signal towers throughout Panaki to provide initial power and access.
Now that Parnaqui has signals and power grids, televisions, computers and other electronic products must be promoted in Parnaqui. The two worlds have some cultural similarities. As long as the problems are solved and the relatively complex value system is bypassed, even ordinary people in Parnaqui will be able to understand the film and television works on Earth very well.
——Using these works to shape the Parnaqui people’s understanding of the earth is the first step.
The second step is to introduce grains and food cultivated on Earth to solve the famine problem that has plagued Parnaji for many years, and once again increase Parnaji's favorability towards the Earth. At the same time, relying on the absolute control of the media, once again publicize the benefits of the Earth and promote the idea that "snatching resources is only effective temporarily, and only when the two worlds join forces can we achieve stable and long-term development."
Those invaders who were clamoring the most have already been dealt with by Class 9. Now, even if the remaining ones want to occupy the earth, their will is not strong enough, so there is a lot of room for maneuver.
Directly get a ton of gold, or only get one hundred kilograms of gold every month, but can continue to get it for decades or even hundreds of years... For such a choice, as long as you recognize the current situation and the interests, only a fool will choose the former.
At the same time, Class 9 screened films about scientific research, farming, and history in Parnaqui, telling the Parnaqui people from various angles: Even if you own the land of the Earth, without scientific knowledge and long-term research, you cannot obtain a rich harvest. The food that the people of Earth have today did not fall from the sky, they also went through long-term research. And, all countries that attempt to invade others will eventually be annihilated in the long river of history.
The third step is to put the new city at the center of public opinion, build it into an Internet-famous city, and make the construction of the new city and the changes of its people public on social platforms, so that the world can see how rich and convenient cities built using earth science can become, and how much people’s lives can change.
The fourth step is to promote many projects in cooperation with the Earth, so that the Parnagi people, who have a preliminary understanding of the Earth through TV and movies, can try to contact the Earthlings. Infrastructure, exchange students, many brands from the Earth, and the invisible but highly permeable short video culture...
In winter, the people of Parnaki wear down jackets made on Earth, use air conditioning, drink raw coconut latte in the RuiX Cafe, watch short videos, and chase after stars from Earth...
Unconsciously, Parnaqui gradually let go of his hostility towards the Earth.
As for Earth, Team Nine doesn't need to worry about it. In this regard, the officials of various countries on Earth are much more reliable than the small countries of Parnaki. Most of the people on Earth, who live in a relatively peaceful environment, are not stingy in showing their purest friendliness to the other world.
At this point, we are only one step away from completely opening up the two worlds.
With a common interest, people will naturally classify each other as their own people and develop a natural interest. Now, in addition to the three unchanging concerns of food, technology and magic, the biggest thing that can attract the attention of both worlds is the many stars from Earth.
In non-war times, celebrities have great attention and social influence. Parnaji was influenced by the film and television works promoted by Class 9 and became very interested and curious about the artists on Earth.
Therefore, Lin Lang made a prompt decision to contact Lin Shen's studio and use their connections to bring together the two worlds' top artists to shoot a movie based on the theme of "the fusion of two worlds."
The movie will be shot across two worlds, and will include some secrets related to the "Twenty-Four Gods" that only Team 9 knows. However, it will not involve the secret that the twenty-five people in Team 9 are the "Creator God" and the "Twenty-Four Gods".
Although they joked that they would overthrow the statues and replace them with their own, both Rui Hang and the students had a clear understanding - as the reincarnations of the gods' souls, with their own 500 years of experience, they were no longer the same people as the gods.
The true "Twenty-Four Gods" have long since dissipated their spirits, and entered eternal sleep along with their beloved Father God. Perhaps one day, the twenty-five members of Class Nine will take over their burdens and names, becoming the new "Creator Gods" and "Twenty-Four Gods", but they are just different gods with the same name.
The students of Class 9 themselves are unwilling to confine themselves to the identity of gods and attribute all their achievements to the "reincarnation of gods."
They cannot deny the talent brought by the soul of the gods, but the suffering and sacrifice they have experienced, the efforts they have made for this...these have never been related to talent. Even if they do not have a powerful identity or noble birth, they will never give up their efforts in the other world.
——Just like those "time travelers", even if they are weak, they are still struggling to survive, pursuing their dreams, and practicing their beliefs in another world.
These experiences are proof of their survival; their brilliance never relies solely on the power of the soul.
Putting aside the content of the movie, once the news that the top artists from two worlds were going to shoot a movie together was released, it immediately attracted great attention in both worlds.
With the movie as an introduction, Earth and Parnaqui officially opened the "wall" that separated the two world networks for the first time, allowing people from the two worlds to communicate face to face.
...
"Hello everyone, I'm Siji Shipian...Why am I not on air for a while?" Siji Shipian held a selfie stick and smiled at the camera: "Because I have a surprise for you——"
He pointed the camera behind him, and saw majestic mountains surrounding him, which looked like the place where Rui Hang beat up the students from Class 9 that day.
But now, the interior of the forest is no longer the flat land it originally was, nor is it full of potholes after the shocking battle that day. It looks like the tragic scene of dozens of nuclear bombs dropped from the air.
The original pits have been filled, and high-rise buildings full of earth style have sprung up from the ground, turning the original vacant land into a modern city.
"Why does this place look so familiar?"
"Is Shishi in Parnaki?"
"It looks like S City. Is there a place like this in Parnaki?"
"I am from Parnaqui, and I can tell you from my own experience that this is definitely not any city-state of Parnaqui!"
——In order to facilitate communication between the two worlds, the official has specially launched the function of automatic language translation. Relying on a program that incorporates magic and a unique calculation method, any characters input by both sides will be automatically converted into the language of their choice in the eyes of people in the other world.
Although sometimes the words don’t make the meaning clear, most of the time this feature allows people from both worlds to communicate perfectly. The differences in understanding caused by cultural differences soon became a hot topic on the Internet, sweeping both worlds.
"So where is this place? Since you brought us here, Shishi, you will surely explain it to us!"
"Hurry up and tell me! Don't be a riddle teller!"
Si Jishi smiled and said, "Don't be impatient, just follow me first."
As he spoke, he walked around the city and introduced the city's culture and stories, just like he did in his past live broadcasts of "WONDERLAND" or Parnaki.
Only this time, the people introduced changed from Earthlings to Parnaki people.
"This is S City, the economic center of China and one of the most prosperous cities on the planet." Si Jishi pointed to the distinctive buildings around and gave a detailed introduction to each one, about their birth, builders, and the history they had experienced, either glorious or painful.
For Chinese people, this city has long been a commonplace, and it is one of the undisputed top 5 tourist hotspots in China. However, no one feels bored when listening to Si Jishi's introduction. They actively send comments, cooperate with Si Jishi's narration, and constantly introduce their country and hometown to the audience from Parnaky, trying their best to show their enthusiasm to them.
"The xiaolongbao and shengjianbao in S City are the best in the world! Friends from Parnaki, if you come here to travel in the future, don't forget to try them!"
"The night view along the Huangpu River at night was truly stunning. It was the first time I had the feeling that I was living in the future."
"Friends from Parnaki, you can come and have fun, but please don't stare at the big skewers of meat in the commercial street and eat them non-stop like foreign friends - I saw someone eating stir-fried rice cakes when I was watching videos last time. I mean, there's really no need for that!"
"I recommend friends in Parnagi to go to XX Road. It is located in a residential area and there are not many commercial streets around it. If you want to experience the daily life of earthlings, this kind of place is more suitable and it is easier to find delicious food!"
"But aren't the prices in S City too high? To be honest, I strongly recommend friends in Parnaki to go to the small market in Ushi - everyone who goes there will know!"
"Then I will recommend our friends in Palnaqui to our city of C. The hotpot is the best in the world, and you can also see cute pandas~"
"You must come to Lao Guang to eat delicious food, morning tea, soup and sweet soup...I guarantee you won't want to leave once you come! "
"Our great mountain city is not in vain. Let me show you what a cyber city is!"
"I am Australian, welcome to our country to box with kangaroos XD"
"Then we Russians will have to ask our bear to come out!"
...
Countless comments flashed across the screen and finally merged into one sentence.
"Dear friends, welcome to our hometown."
When the atmosphere of the barrage was harmonious, the live broadcast screen suddenly shook violently, and pedestrians on the roadside screamed in fear.
"Is there an earthquake?"
"Is there a monster attack?"
"It can't be a mutant, right?"
"Ahhh Shibao, run!"
"Is Shi-chan okay?"
"Someone call the police!"
"Are you stupid? What's the point of you reporting the Parnaqui earthquake on Earth?"
Just as everyone was in a panic due to the sudden earthquake, the originally shaky filming suddenly became stable. Si Jishi was seen floating in the air without knowing when, and getting higher and higher.
He pointed the camera at the ground below - the city that was once full of modernity was reduced to ruins in the violent shaking.
Sadness emerged in the hearts of everyone watching the live broadcast, but before they could feel sad, a huge silver-black dragon descended from the sky and flew over the ruined city. The moment their eyes met the camera, the originally lively live broadcast room fell into a brief blank.
"...Oh my god! A dragon! It's a dragon!"
"That look just now scared me to death!"
"Who can understand, my family, my little Warcraft cub was watching the live broadcast with me at home, and the moment the dragon appeared, it fainted from fright! "
"This dragon looks so beautiful, it's quite different from the dragons I saw in Parnaqui."
"...I also think this dragon looks familiar."
"Haha, this dragon looks like my Dragon King."
"There are dragons watching the live broadcast here?!"
"Take a photo with the barrage above!"
"Aoaoao, Sister Long/Brother, I love you so much!"
"Wait, this isn't the point right now, is it? What about the city underground? Hurry up and rescue them!"
"Didn't you guys notice? There was Lin Shen on the dragon that just flew over!"
"...Isn't that what I thought?"
"So, this is a filming location?"
Until then, Si Jishi, who was watching the comments, finally said, "Congratulations, you got it right - this is the set of the movie "Doomsday 2024" jointly shot by two worlds!"
"What about those people who were hit just now?"
"Don't worry, these are all illusions created by magic. We guarantee that no one and no dragon will be injured during the filming... Dragon? Of course the dragon is not an illusion, it is real!"
Just as Si Jishi was answering the questions in the barrage, the ruins beneath him suddenly stood up again from their collapsed state and restored themselves to the appearance of a city at a speed visible to the naked eye.
...
"Magic is so convenient!"
The director sat behind the monitor and exclaimed in admiration as he watched S City being rebuilt in less than five minutes.
Zhang Jiajia, who completed the two magics of destruction and reconstruction within ten minutes, smiled slightly, not showing any sign of fatigue: "Just tell me if you need anything."
"Of course!" The director couldn't be more satisfied.
After so many years of filming, this was the first time he had such a great time shooting a movie - magic battles did not require special effects, the actors could do it themselves. He could destroy an entire city without restraint and shoot all the big scenes he wanted without worrying about wasting money. Even if he was not satisfied with the shot, he could quickly do it again.
The extras who appeared as guests could also be completely replaced by magic in dangerous scenes, which allowed him to shoot the thrilling scenes he wanted without worrying about hurting anyone.
and--
A roar was heard in the sky, and a giant silver-black dragon descended from the sky and landed in the rest area arranged for him by the director team.
Song Mingzhe shook his wings, but did not turn back into human form. Lin Shen, who had been sitting majestically on his back before, quickly jumped off, without any of the heroic spirit he had shown when he rode a dragon to rescue someone.
Zhang Jiajia, the culprit who brought Song Mingzhe to the crew, and Lin Lang looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
The reason why Song Mingzhe appears here is actually very simple.
——The doomsday predicted before involving Lin Shen has not yet come true.
——Didn’t the Chinese authorities let him ride the black dragon for a ride?
——Lin Yuan said that the dragon he heard was you. You see, you just need to make a cameo appearance now, and we won’t reveal our true identity, and the doomsday prophecy will naturally fit in!
So, despite Song Mingzhe's objections, Class 9 forced him into the crew - as a "pet".
As a pet, the owner must be present.
Chi Miaomiao, who had been watching the scene until now, tried hard to hold back her laughter and walked forward under the guidance of the staff to "comfort" her pet.
She patted the huge dragon head of the Hades Dragon King and couldn't help laughing: "Sorry, my dragon is a little noisy, but it is still very obedient - Xiao Hei, right?"
Song Mingzhe: “…”
A dragon's breath spurted out of his huge nostril, and he turned his head to the side angrily, no longer looking at Chi Miaomiao.
The sudden burst of flames startled the director who was curiously looking at Song Mingzhe. Before he could worry about whether the dragon in front of him would go berserk, Chi Miaomiao raised her hand and rubbed the dragon's head vigorously: "Look, isn't it cute?"
Song Mingzhe: “…”
He spread his wings, silently proving to the director that he was majestic and handsome, not cute.
It’s unfair, but the dignity of a dragon cannot be lost.
