Chapter 668: Night Market
Night slowly fell, and the assembly hall that had been noisy all day slowly quieted down as the sky gradually darkened, and most of the active stages of the various worlds had been cleaned up and prepared for tomorrow's battle, except for some programs that were scheduled to be late or finale.
The first day of the carnival has ended, and it is a joyous and thrilling day, but today's celebration has only just begun.
Wouldn't such a festival be too deservedly named if it weren't adorned with the same lively nighttime activities?
There are a few hours of rest after the day's events, and in the evening, the activities move to the Shadow City, but the evening event is more of a trade conference than a celebration, which is a suggestion from Bingdis based on similar events she has held, with performances and celebrations during the day, and a large-scale night market in the evening, so that the various worlds can communicate with each other, so as to achieve the most efficient cultural exchange possible, and when it is nine o'clock in the evening, all the streets of the Shadow City will be open. The builders had prepared in advance, and there were absolutely plenty of places in the city and in the suburbs, and many revelers from all walks of life came for these business opportunities: for some speculative and adventurous travelers, the attraction of theatrical performances was obviously not as great as the opportunity to hunt for rare treasures.
In the other two worlds, the same activities are also being carried out at the same time, not to mention places like the Martian Vault, which are completely under the responsibility of the empire builders, and it is said that the level market of the Azeroth world is contracted by the goblins, and I hope those green dwarfs can be worthy of their reputation as a commercial state, and don't mess things up. After going back to dinner with my family, I waited for less than two hours, and the shallow shallow who had always been overactive couldn't sit still, and dragged everyone back to Shadow City, which looked like the New Year when I was a child, and before 12 o'clock in the evening of the 30th, she pulled me to the entrance of the street and waited for the firecrackers on the road to sound like a little girl's cuteness, and was infected by shallow joy, and my mood was also extraordinarily high. Therefore, even on the streets of the night market, I saw several commanders of the Third Planet Deng 6 commando team disguising themselves as Maoshan Taoist priests on the streets, peddling the seeds of the holy stones that had been opened, and I turned a blind eye.
Compared to the captains of the Third Legion who were peddling swords to the Jedi, this was pretty disciplined.
For the first time in the night the Shadow City was so lively, it was full of people and tourists, and the streets, which had always been the same as the lights control, were now in full splendor throughout the night, and under the bright artificial light, you could see everywhere the vendors selling strange things, and the travelers who were wandering through it with a look of surprise, and even the vendors themselves, occasionally stealing time to collect something from the neighboring stalls: this was not a strictly regulated trade market, It is an exchange place established to let people from all walks of life get to know each other, and the roles of guests and merchants can be very vague here, as long as you have something that is rare for others, you can always find the patrolling Imperial soldiers to register and sell it, and correspondingly, even if you have applied for a store, if you have something you want to buy, you can skip the shift to buy at any time, and there will be no customers complaining about you because everyone is busy doing the same thing.
The craftsman of Ironforge Castle who sells kryptonite glasses, the Vidis alchemist who sells the Amulet of Aotie, the mage of the other world who deals in all kinds of magic crystals, the CC who sells cherry stones as otherworldly jewels and is making a big windfall, the eighty-eighth generation of lay disciples of Maoshan who are five yuan and three flying swords for all kinds of toy children, and the Protos merchant who specializes in approving the large amount of psionic crystals transported from the Interstellar Package of Youbao resells the express tickets for the first flight to the Azeroth assembly venue tomorrow...... Bustling with merchants and tourists has transformed this capital of the worlds into a glorious city that never sleeps.
The girls who came together went to hang out separately, shallow, Sandora, and my sister, each of them had their own favorite gadgets, plus the crazy energy of the girls when they went shopping, basically they all ran away as soon as they came here, and even Pandora and Viska followed their sister to the middle of nowhere.
Well, I'll admit that I managed to sneak out after seeing a few beautiful women with a look of excitement about to go crazy. Last time, I accompanied the Protoss Tiaozi Five-person group to visit the old city, and I was almost exhausted, this time I accompanied them to visit the Shadow City Market? Let's spare us.
But...... Sure enough, there's still a thing, and the little heel can't be completely shaken off.
I looked helplessly at the side of me, where the little bubble was clutching at the hem of my clothes and cooing whatever object staggered past to greet the little girl, almost becoming her own follower pet.
With her elusive abilities, I definitely can't get rid of this little guy.
And on the other side, there is a guy who can't get rid of it either.
The appearance looks exactly the same as the little bubble, but when she walks majesticly, she is like a young grandmother traveling.
Since things are a little simpler at night, after the day's work is over, the coordination at night can be taken over by other mass production hosts, and the bubble after a hard day finally ushered in the time to rest, so she appeared in front of her father, a child who was wandering around the street with her little daughter.
"Being busy with work and neglecting your partner is the most common taboo for career-oriented women!" Thirty minutes ago, when the child's mother stood in front of me, she said, "So even if you are tired after work, you must spend as much time as possible with your partner to have a wonderful nightlife!" The child's father, let us work hard to consolidate the relationship between husband and wife! β
Standing at the crossroads, in front of the countless traversers of the Great Thousand Ages, looking up at the man in front of him at a height of more than one meter and at an angle of forty-five degrees, Xiao Luo 1Γ¬ made such a declaration of swallowing mountains and rivers.
Bubbles, you're forcing me to die!
Although I used a big hand knife to stop this sturdy housegirl who has always prided herself on being a child's mother, I still had to accept the fact that the success of this dead house depended on me, and I was really heartbroken along the way in order to interrupt her unthinking bad words and even Gongkou words at any time, but now it seems that Bubbles has finally succeeded in attracting attention from the surrounding shops.
No, when we came to the vicinity of the Temple of the Tree of the World, Bubbles appeared again with something she was interested in, and immediately grabbed my clothes and pointed ahead, shouting: "Look, look at the child, Dad!" 100,000 yuan, it's 100,000 yuan" Looking in the direction of her finger, I immediately collapsed: In the open space in front of the Tree of the World Realm, a stall covering a wide area swaggered to block the main entrance of the temple, and a certain red and white witch was selling on the street: "Spirit runes!" Talismans! Shinto charms! All kinds of calligraphy and jade charm scrolls! The latest technique from Hakurei Shrine is the crystallization of the art! Eliminate disasters and avoid evil, pray for blessings and wishes, seek good fortune and avoid evil, and try all kinds of spirits! Absolutely genuine, fake one penalty of ten, insiders will know the Tao at a glance! The strongest shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine is blessed with spiritual power, each of which is handmade, and there is an autograph of the Gensokyo monster on the back to strengthen the power! Take a look, the most effective spell is only 998! As long as 998, bring good luck home, and the evil spirits are not afraid! β
Reimu! Are you really so poor that you can only sell spirit talismans on the street to make money? Or did you finally decide to abandon your last bit of discipline in order to redeem yourself and go home?
Bubbles didn't care about a certain red and white festival, she was now burning and couldn't help herself, so she pulled me all the way and ran over: "It seems that business is good, let's go over and have a look!" β
Although I looked full of complaints, business at Reimu's stall seemed to be really good: there was a circle of customers around.
Of course, I don't think more than half of these customers were attracted by her ghost talismans, and the most striking thing about Reimu here was not her talisman, but that she dared to wear the armband of the chengguan and openly set up a stall in the non-trade zone......."
Such a sturdy hawker is enough to attract attention.
When Bubble Bubbles and I squeezed in, Reimu was busy sorting out a pile of rune paper and handing it to Shana, saying that Shana, do you really think this thing will work for the guys in the Red World?
"Yo, Reimu."
The other party didn't notice us, so I had to take the initiative to say hello.
In an instant, a certain red and white body stiffened for a moment.
At the same time, behind Reimu, the inside of the hill that we thought was a large pile of half-finished rune paper suddenly arched, and with the sound of the rune paper slipping, the golden girl wearing a soft hat suddenly came out of it and yawned and shouted: "Ah, Reimu, I can't write anymore, I want to go back to sleep, the executive won't let me sleep during the day, and you won't let me ...... at night."
Halfway through the words, he stopped abruptly, holding a handful of rune paper and a brush in his hand, Yakumo Zi, who was "autographing the big monster full of spiritual power", was dumbfounded, and his current boss looked at each other, and both sides were very messy.
The corners of my mouth twitched slightly, and I looked at the Gensokyo duo who were reselling rune paper, and there was a bruise on their heads: "First, Reimu, you should still be on patrol now." Second, Purple, you're half an hour away from the shift change. Thirdly, half of these talismans of my personal spirit dream are scribbled. Fourth, market order managers are not allowed to participate in trade activities between traversers.
Fifth, Reimu you are suspected of exaggerating propaganda, the first to ......,......
Speaking of which, I looked at the pale golden fence not far behind the two girls in front of me, which was the outer barrier of the Tree of the World Realm Temple.
"Sixth, it is strictly forbidden to set up stalls for a hundred meters around heaven.........
He also held a handful of rune paper and temporary coins (the currency that is temporarily used among the travelers during the carnival, when the festival is over, the registered personnel of the Time and Space Administration can exchange it for the imperial currency, and there is no record with the Time and Space Administration, and visitors who are only invited as "family members" need to spend these currencies before the end of the festival), with an embarrassed expression on his face, a certain red and white eyes quickly fluttered: "Aha, aha, is that so, Zi and I are just temporary workers, I didn't expect to ...... too" ,","The above is the employee code for temporary workers", I glanced at this guy who can sell festival exercises at any time, and knew that she was going to gag again, "And the sign of a hundred meters from heaven that prohibits stalls is less than five meters behind you!" Yakumo's parasol is still leaning on it! β
"I was wrong."
Linglou simply put down the rune paper, bowed his head and admitted his mistake, then raised his head, tears in his eyes: "But can I not deduct the bonus......", "Although I have long said that this will be a problem", Yakumo Zi clasped his hands to his chest, looked at Lingmeng who was smirking and scratching his face with helpless eyes, and then looked at this side quietly, "Are we going to be punished?" β
"Forget it," I waved at the surprised gaze of the two of them, "Have fun, but don't set up a stall at the gate of heaven." Also, Reimu you have to work hard tomorrow! In my experience, the Sicaro guy was out of stock by this time. β
"Ha Xie Lu Xie~! ~οΌ The prize money was guaranteed, and Reimu was immediately happy, "You're such a good person!" β
Me: "......"
Saying goodbye to the two redeemed girls who were happy, I forcibly pulled the bubbles that insisted on letting Yakumo Purple and Reimu be my own collection, and I just walked not far" Another business stall made a few of us stop.
A gorgeous faΓ§ade decorated with fresh hua, the crystal cross mark at the door of the store indicates that this is a store run by the emperor's ** people, and on the sign at the door of the store, the words "Shadow City Branch of Xianhua Store" are written.
The two sisters, Asida and Acidora, were wearing the uniforms of shop assistants, handing out leaflets at the door, or at least looking like they were ready to distribute leaflets.
You two stand at the door with a big stack of lists, and you look at each other silently, and there will be no guests all night!
I complained silently in my heart, and I pulled the bubble and left.
"Why don't you go and have a look? It is the shop of the Asida sisters. The child's mother asked curiously.
"No, first, they may not be able to hear your scream, and second, even if they do," the sisters must have only borrowed money. I replied categorically, that stupid sister Hua with unlimited business ability even knew that it was not easy to open a branch in the densely populated Shadow City during the festival to solve the rent, water and electricity problems outside, but as long as the problem of falling into the world of the two people and turning a deaf ear to the outside world anytime and anywhere is not corrected, the two of them will not want to live a happy life without relying on subsistence allowance for a day!
At this moment, the little bubble that had been obediently following us suddenly appeared and "pulled my clothes and shouted: "Wow! Woooooooo When I looked up, a figure who was looking around as if looking for something came into view.
"Jill! This way! β
I greeted from afar, and the golden girl dozens of meters away immediately turned around when she heard the sound, and after seeing a few people here, the other party ran over quickly with unpretentious surprise on her face.
"Ha, I finally found it, I felt the breath of a small bubble just now, but I couldn't find it."
After being in our circle for so long, Jill, you've really changed a lot.
Little Bubbles hugged her mother's shining waist affectionately, and happily laughed and laughed up, "While rubbing her head each other's stomachs, I know that this is a move that the little guy will do to his closest person, or his favorite toy~ I hope that Gil Sister is not the latter in Little Bubbles' mind.
Jill was extremely embarrassed to be rubbed, "the arrogant and cold expression that always hung on his face was unsustainable, and he could only show an indignant expression at us", and then bent down and whispered to his "holder" to explain the reason why he was not by the other party's side all day.
"Your Sixth Holy Grail War is over?" I looked at Jin Shanshan with a playful expression, and the latter immediately raised his head with a proud face: "It's a complete success, that Holy Grail has become the king's bag!" You're quite serious!
"Honestly, how do you compare?"
I asked with a smile, I was a little curious now that I missed the "competition" of the Heroic Spirits because I was going to see the Pandora sisters' "Movement".
"The first battle is naturally an ordinary battle, and this king easily ranks first in the group", Jill Mei crossed her fingers and told us, "and then there are fighting landlords, dodgeball, lianliankan, handicrafts, sewing, music, level Mary and checkers, don't look at that kind of competition, there are not many difficulties that need to be challenged!" I blinked my eyes and waited for Sister Gil to finish speaking, with a cold sweat on my face: "You guys are better than this?" ", try this kind of project, you fans in the third dimension will cry to death if you know it!
"Why, you pariahs are underestimating the strength of this king?" When Sister Gil saw the unbelievable expression on my face, she immediately misunderstood, and twisted her face to make an arrogant expression, "Although it is a very strange project, this king usually has good training!" Even if he lost to Medusa in a few events, he deserved to be the first in terms of total scores! The Holy Grail is a natural thing to be in the king's pocket! I silently listened to Sister Jil's proud declaration, and expressed all kinds of deep sympathy for this guy who learned murderous play skills in his nanny career but didn't know it, didn't you realize that half of the projects you just mentioned were exercised when you usually took care of Little Bubbles and played with that girl?
"Hmph, looking at your stupid appearance, it really disappoints this king." Sister Gil yelled at this side honestly and unceremoniously, but the words were obviously "You guy doesn't even praise me", and then she picked up the little bubble who was asking for candy with her, with a serious face, "It's almost ten o'clock now, and the child must sleep!" Little princess, I took M away", watching Sister Jill drift away, I sighed silently for a long time: "Sure enough, it's a good nanny." β
Next to Bubbles, she nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that it is very reassuring to hand over my precious daughter to this golden guy." "You seem to have a good impression of Gilgamesh? I looked at the little "wife" next to me, who rarely gave praise to others, in amazement. "Well, it's okay, anyway, I've always thought that a guy who dares to name himself gaegameo is too powerful."
