Chapter 188: The Beta Post
"Why did you give me this?" Zheng Qing curiously took the thick pile of newspapers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Before he could open it, the rich aroma of ink hit his face, making him frown.
In Zheng Qing's view, the world of wizards is a world full of contradictions and paradoxes, of course, all of this stems from the unscientific nature of magic.
In the world of ordinary people, all kinds of electrified equipment have been widely used in life. Television, computers, mobile phones, people have a lot of means to collect information in different dimensions.
But in the wizarding world, wizards still stubbornly use ancient magical techniques to achieve the same effect.
For example, paper cranes that convey information, roll-up banners with 'animation' effects, or newspapers and magazines with 'small videos' inserted.
A hundred years ago, these near-miraculous magical techniques would have amazed and adored ordinary people with no talent.
And now, if these magical artifacts were to be left in the world of Baiding, they might explore this unknown civilization with great curiosity and enthusiasm - no fear, no worship, only a curiosity about the unknown.
Flipping through the newspaper, in the huge photo on the front page, a black wizard is standing behind the podium waving his arms vigorously, his expression is a little excited, next to the microphone of his lectern table, there is a suspicious skull - because the newspaper has been mosaic, so Zheng Qing is not very sure about this.
The headline had a striking black headline: 'Pan American Wizarding Election Heated in Washington, D.C., Barack and Willard Debate Demon Bill'.
"I've always wondered why the photos in the newspaper can't speak, and it's not as good as my TV at home. Zheng Qing flicked the black wizard's arm to the side with his fingertips, revealing a beautiful long-haired witch behind him: "Moreover, wasn't it just now discussing the matter of the student council exam...... Why are you giving me this newspaper? There's an exam question on it?"
"I remember we discussed this on the plane. Xiao Xiao first answered Zheng Qing's first question: "At any time, in human society, the power of tradition is very powerful...... With the same convenience, you can't expect wizards who are used to spellbooks and spells to switch to unfamiliar electronics. ”
"Even if the magic is more complex and backward, you don't expect anything from them to change. Dylan suddenly poked his head out from behind the curtain and complained, "You haven't lived in the Blood Castle, it's a living museum of history." You can see old vampires from the time of King Arthur wearing shabby linen clothes and black teeth, you can see Elizabethan noblewomen using whalebone skirts to strangle their waists into a gourd, and you can see hippies in the seventies, with their faces full of iron rings and copper nails, walking as if they had been hit by a 'kick charm'. ”
"Like Assistant Teacher Hilda?" Zheng Qing squinted at Mr. Vampire's head hanging on the edge of the coffin.
"More twisted than he is. Dylan shuddered and shook his head.
"As for the photos in the newspaper that can't speak," Xiao Xiao raised her voice slightly, pulling the conversation back to Zheng Qing's question, "Personally, I think it's because superimposing too much magic on such a simple piece of paper will lead to the 'spell cavitation phenomenon'...... This is a state of instability of the magic pattern. ”
Zheng Qing shrugged.
He didn't understand it much, but he probably understood that stacking spells too much would cause magic to be unstable. Maybe the newspaper will deflagrate at high temperatures, the picture will freeze at low temperatures, and the sound and picture will jam at room temperature.
None of this is hard to understand.
"You haven't explained why you ......" Zheng Qing raised the newspaper in his hand, and lifted a strong smell of ink.
The elves fluttered their wings and turned away from their masters in disgust.
Tuan Tuan moved his claws outward, blocking them in front of its pink nostrils.
"Why did you give you the newspaper?...... This is because the student council's recruitment exams pay a lot of attention to things like current affairs and debates. Xiao Xiao patiently explained: "According to the explanation of the student union, what they need is young blood who can keep pace with the times...... is not a poor old master and a ghoul. ”
This interpretation is slightly stylized, but flawless.
"Actually, I think they're just lazy to come up with new papers. Xin Fatzi sneered on the side: "It's like the last essay question, the question stem is slightly changed, so that you can analyze and analyze, it doesn't take a minute to come up with the question, but you have to take half an hour to solve it...... A set of models can manage the topic of ten years. ”
The argument is very compelling.
Zheng Qing did not continue to discuss the issue of the student union exam with the two, he quickly flipped through the newspaper in his hand and saw many interesting news topics.
In addition to the debate on the demon-related bill in the 'Important News Headlines', there are reports on 'The Blood Clan's Parliament Makes a Statement to Protest against Werewolves' Atrocities in Romania!' in the 'News Background' section, news about 'Donghua Heavy Equipment Settled in South America' in the 'Economy Section', gimmicks about 'Ghost Concert Bishan Premiere or Soul Show' in the 'Entertainment Section', and a curiosity about 'The Shadow of the Dark Wizards on the Gold Coast, Mysterious Curses Spread in Dozens of Villages' in the 'Exotic Customs' column, and even 'In-Depth Column' The series of "The First School Opportunity Strikes, Banshee Nikita's Past and Present Life".
If he hadn't opened this newspaper, Zheng Qing would never have known that the world of wizards was so exciting.
As if in an instant, his vision passed through the cramped First University, leaving the closed island of Phuket and entering a new, strange world.
It's like how he felt when he first walked into the pallidrome set.
Joy, shock, confusion, and vague confusion.
"What kind of newspaper is this?" Zheng Qing reopened the front page of the newspaper, and his eyes fell on the title at the top of the front page.
Betatown Post.
"This is a more serious newspaper that represents the mainstream view of the wizarding world and has a readership covering the entire wizarding world. Of course, some of its views have also been consistently criticized...... For example, this newspaper has an inherent bias against Nine Colleges and Universities. ”
Xiao Xiao held his glasses and changed his words: "You belong to a wizard who lacks common sense, which is not good for your future development." So it doesn't hurt to take this opportunity to read more current affairs reports now. ”
Zheng Qing nodded again and again.
"Did you think of anything...... Negligence?" Fat Xin suddenly spoke on the side, interrupting Zheng Qing's idea of continuing to read the newspaper.
"Negligence?" Zheng Qing frowned, his face displeased: "About the student union exam?"
He pulled out the somewhat crumpled piece of letter and read it again.
"Not yet. He replied confidently, "If you're referring to the 'Pavilion Eleven' question, I think I'm capable of finding this place." ”
Zheng Qing emphasized the meaning of 'he has the ability'.
"Is there really not?" Fat Xin's face seemed to be wrinkled into a chrysanthemum.
It's a smile of confidence.
It could be seen that he really noticed something wrong with Zheng Qing.
Xiao Xiao also raised his head and looked at the fat man curiously.
"You have neglected the most important point," Fat Xin rubbed his chin, looked at the confused Zheng Qing, and smiled maliciously: "Weekend afternoon...... Your time is already booked...... If you don't mind, I can help Elena with her homework. ”
"Oh, no!" Zheng Qing groaned, pasting the newspaper on his face and falling headlong on his six-poster bed.
The elves, who had been resting on the cat's back, thought that their master had an accident, screamed and threw themselves into the tent with their wings.
