Chapter 200 The People Who Opened the Curtain (Part II)
The winter exhibition is centered on ice sculptures.
However, in such exhibitions, different enterprises, merchants, and artists also participated, and various large and small activities were held.
Due to the increasing number of tourists and spectators, many investors began to sponsor the event, which increased the scale of the joint event and turned it into a popular winter event in the city.
This is like some comic exhibitions, with the entry of capital, the scale is getting bigger and bigger year by year, and the economic effect created will naturally rise with the tide.
In response to this, some critics will definitely call it 'losing the core, deteriorating activities, and becoming a place for capital to pursue profits', but such changes cannot be stopped, after all, 'generating electricity with love' is just talk.
If someone really does 'generate electricity with love', then there must be a premise of 'sufficient funds', otherwise everything is a beautiful fantasy.
All in all, with some investment, the winter ice sculpture exhibition in the city of Winterls is starting to tend to be diversified and entertaining.
It is true that it has increased a lot of commercial flavor compared to before, but in exchange for high popularity and high income, more people believe in supporting such development, rather than choosing to resist.
Of course, the news of the unrest in the north also reached Winters, but at the moment the city was still safe and did not cause panic, so everyone only used it as an after-dinner conversation and did not pay much attention to it.
What happened last night caused a commotion, and Mayor Sword was very clever in controlling it.
The people who attended the party were collaborators with competing interests, and even if they were competitors, they would not be stupid enough to defy the mayor and cause panic in the city.
Mayor Sword's intelligence control was so successful that last night's attack was not allowed to be amplified, and the news went unreported.
Gu Wu thought it was a very smart move, and there was no need to make this information public now.
At the end of the day, any world, any plane, is the same.
The information that people can see is often 'visible information', and the content that is really hidden is something that ordinary people cannot access in a lifetime.
This is similar to the dark web.
It's just that the dark web is not as mysterious as some articles say, only 10% of the surface network, and the remaining 90% are hidden in the dark web, which is obviously just a manuscript to attract traffic and reading, and deliberately exaggerates what ordinary people don't know.
In fact, in the era when traffic is king, exaggeration has become a norm.
The same goes for the information people receive.
Gu Wu stopped, and Louise, who was walking in front, was queuing up at the No. 1 ticket window, and the staff responsible for maintaining order walked in front of him from the door after seeing Gu Wu.
"Hello, Mr. Gu Wu, if you want to visit the ice sculptures, you can enter from the passage here."
"Did the mayor arrange it?"
"No...... It was the gentleman's arrangement. ”
The guard turned his head, and the brim of his hat pointed at a man at the entrance and exit of the ice sculpture exhibit.
The man was wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase in his right hand, and the other party nodded after noticing Gu Wu's gaze.
"That gentleman is the main sponsor of this exhibition, that is, the person who pays us."
The guard was not very restrained, as if he was joking, he was going to lead the way for Gu Wu and the others.
It's not bad to enjoy the privileges once in a while......
"Is this the world of the rich?"
"Senior Kasumigaoka, shouldn't we stay away from Mr. Gu Wu? He seems to be getting taller. ”
Both Kasumigaoka and Eiri have expressed their opinions on the current situation.
They may think it's incredible, after all, no matter where Gu Wu goes, as long as he is in this world, he will be treated preferentially.
Having said that, Gu Wu would also suffer some threats, but he didn't emphasize it in front of the two girls, and there was no need for that.
"Forget it, it's still not necessary, and we've already bought tickets to the ice sculpture exhibition, so it's not a hassle."
In the end, Gu Wu refused the guard's invitation, bowed slightly to the man in the suit who nodded just now, and Gu Wu walked forward with Xia Zhiqiu and Yingli Pear beside him.
Louise purchased four tickets at this time, three of which were adult tickets and one child ticket for convenience.
If Kasumigaoka and Eiri can provide student IDs, the price will definitely be cheaper, but it is a waste of time to do so at the moment.
"Master! I've bought them all! ”
"Amazing, amazing."
"That's what I'm capable of!"
Louise, who was praised by Gu Wukua, was in high spirits.
Kasumigaoka on the side thanked him and took out candy from his pocket and handed it to Luise.
"It's so sweet! Yes...... It's our turn! Let's go! ”
Louise, who tossed the candy into her mouth, saw the team advancing and urged the group to follow in the footsteps of the spectators in front of her.
When I arrived at the ticket gate, in addition to the staff in charge of ticket checking, there were also beautiful women who handed out down jackets.
Most of the visitors wear thick jackets, but occasionally some people who are not dressed well come to the exhibition site and receive a down jacket for free until the end of the tour.
Gu Wu and the others were all 'fully armed', so after checking the tickets, they directly entered the ice sculpture exhibition area.
There is a wide variety of works in the exhibition area.
Ice sculptures, animals, landscapes, and some world-famous movie scenes have also been created, and with the author's own secondary processing, it can be seen that the imagination is very rich.
In this cold space, Gu Wu saw the ice sculptures of the old man and the shark fighting, most of which were borrowed from a famous book.
"Look here, there's a statue of a warrior! It's very handsome! ”
Louise stood in front of an ice sculpture and shouted so loudly that the people passing by around her regarded her as an excited child, and no one reprimanded her.
Hearing the voice, Gu Wu moved and walked over.
"Vikings, ......"
"Pirates? What is that? Isn't it amazing? ”
"A man who makes a living by robbing on the sea, having said that...... They also love to be on land. ”
After all, the sea is very risky, and even the brave and warlike Vikings are not keen on the wandering life.
"This ice sculpture exhibit really has everything."
Follow Gu Wu to the Kasumi Hill to observe the ice sculptures of the Vikings.
"It's all about it."
The last Ying Lili pear had a glass snowflake about the size of a palm in her hand.
Seeing this, the curious Louise hurriedly asked
"Sister Yingli Li, how did you get that?"
"Someone over there is giving this gift, it seems to be decided based on the number of tickets, and I happen to be 3,000."
"I'll take a look!"
The curious Luise immediately ran over, and the uneasy Ying Lili followed and disappeared behind the ice sculpture of the Big Buddha.
Gu Wu and Xia Zhiqiu, who were left behind, glanced at each other.
"Let's go over there."
"Yes."
Kasumigaoka grabbed Gu Wu's right arm and walked forward with light steps.
Gu Wu, who had no reason to refuse, also started the next visit.
As mentioned above, there are many ice sculpture exhibits, so there are also some works that are covered by small tents, and I believe that only adults can see them......
Although some carvings and oil paintings will be regarded as artistic elements, in this era, it is still necessary to pay attention to it.
Xia Zhiqiu was quite interested, and Gu Wu went over and took the girl's hand.
"There's something more exciting, let's look at the others......"
"Oh, Mr. Gu Wu, is there anything better than those 'adult ice sculptures'?"
"Your statement has been strange."
Gu Wu grabbed the girl and dragged her to her side while looking at an exit.
"Wait, you can visit the next exhibition area."
At this moment, Eriri accompanied Louise back.
The two of them were holding a glass snowflake ball in their hands, and it was the same one that Ying Lili had gotten before.
"Because it's one for every 100 people, little Luise's ticket won't get a prize."
Ying Li Li explained that it was probably for this reason that she gave it to Louise.
"Thank you, Sister Yinglili."
"It's okay for me."
Ying Lili, who responded, walked to Gu Wu's side.
"How about Mr. Gu Wu give me a gift instead?"
As Louise's master, the apprentice should indeed return the favor when he is taken care of.
Gu Wu, who said that it was okay, called Luise and entered the next area.
……
Unlike the ice sculpture exhibition area, the next area is a display area for various company products.
Since direct sales pitch is too boring and easy to attract disgust, each company is trying to attract customers on the spot with different programs and performances.
Among them, the stalls selling grills are the most crowded.
However, because of the smell, the effect was not directly displayed, but the products baked in the background were served directly to the customer.
"This grill also has a variety of user-friendly customization functions! Don't worry about being grilled! It also comes with an oil- and dust-proof display screen with lots of baking recipes! ”
Luise, who was attracted by the food, tasted the skewers, and thought it tasted good, so she joined the camp of the clerks and sold them to Gu Wu, Yingli Li, and Kasumigaoka.
Gu Wu, who said that he would buy it later, took Luise and left, and walked to the next store.
"This is the latest and most accurate tarot card! You can also offer free divination for customers! ”
"Mr. Gu Wu wants to try it?"
Kasumigaoka proposes at this moment.
"I also found it very interesting."
Ying Li Li has the same opinion.
Do girls like divination?
Gu Wu personally didn't have much interest in divination, after all, he wasn't interested in the future.
Now is the most important thing.
Anyway, since it was their request, Gu Wu also entered the store according to the wishes of the girls.
Unlike the clerk who solicits customers outside, the inside is the place where another person is in charge of divination.
Just like the usual divination room, this space is not very large.
There is a one-meter-wide and two-meter-long table in the deepest part, and there are already people sitting there waiting on the chairs inside.
The soothsayer wears a headscarf and a dancing girl-style costume with a shawl, and his hands are decorated with crystal bracelets and gold jewelry.
The candles in the room were half-lit, and the orange light swayed in the space, causing the shadows of everyone to shake with it.
Seeing the guests appear, the soothsayer immediately greeted him
"Welcome, I didn't expect so many guests this time...... But you can only be one person at a time. ”
After all, there is only one stool for guests.
"But the other guests will be able to wait together."
"Then I'll come first."
"Oh, welcome to this young lady."
Kasumigaoka, who was sitting up, stared at the soothsayer
"Miss Fortune Teller seems to be very young."
"I've been learning from my mother for a long time, and I've finally been able to come in handy lately, so rest assured, I won't let my guests down."
It seems that this is the first official job of a trainee soothsayer.
For this reason, the soothsayer took out the tarot cards and began to perform divination.
At last...... Kasumigaoka made a choice.
The soothsayer who opened it saw the contents, and the rest of the crowd also saw the pattern of the tarot card.
"It is the 'power' of the positive position, and the corresponding astrological sign is Leo."
Gu Wu looked at the card, and the goddess of victory inside was stroking a fierce lion.
The soothsayer gives an explanation for this
"It shows that you are a person who will act boldly, and have the courage to make decisions, believing that you will face a big turn in the future; Even if you encounter difficulties, you will be able to overcome them with willpower and fight for what you want. ”
"That's right, I understand, I'll work hard."
"No, please keep up that boldness."
Kasumigaoka was satisfied with the results of the divination, and the next thing was that Ying Li Li sat in the position.
Repeat the process, then pick.
On the tarot card that has been turned over, there is a scene of a cold, impartial goddess of justice sitting on a stone chair.
"The righteous 'justice' in the right position, so it is...... This guest is neutral and honest, so don't worry too much about your career in the future, as long as you follow the previous plan carefully, then you will definitely get a satisfactory result. ”
"It would be great if that were the case!"
Next it was Luise's turn.
Her card is the Emperor of the Reverse Throne, which is a bit nonsense, but it can be easily corrected.
Finally, there is Gu Wu.
Although he was not interested, he still sat on the bench of the guest.
"It's a demon."
The 'devil' of the reversal.
Career problems are indicated.
In response to this, the soothsayer suddenly stood up slightly, he leaned in front of Gu Wu, deliberately lowered his voice and added a line.
"Emotionally, we will start to communicate, and this kind of communication will deepen the relationship."
Communication?
That's right......
When Gu Wu heard the explanation, the girl beside him echoed
"Communication is important!"
Probably they'll be pestering me for the rest of the day......
Gu Wu didn't mind this.
It's better to say that way, it's boring to be alone.
Gu Wu's purpose was to enjoy, not to fight in this world.
"I'll talk to you often, Miss Fortune Teller."
Gu Wu, who said this, stood up.
"In the future, spend as much time as possible in communication."
As long as you're together, it's fine!!!
