Chapter 17: A Strange Festival

Two months have passed in a flash, and in a blink of an eye, the annual Starlight Cosmic Day is approaching.

It was the middle of November, and the climate in the area of Muyang City was very similar to Shang Ni's hometown in the home planet, which was supposed to be the season of late autumn and early winter, when the grass and trees were bleak.

However, a developed city like Muyang City has its own climate mediation system, and the vast nature outside the city still operates according to its own laws, and in the city, every day of the year is a pleasant climate.

When Shanni first arrived, she was not used to such an artificially adjusted climate, but she still liked the days when the four seasons were distinct.

In Renjia Town, each season has a different scenery, people wear different clothes in the season, and each season has different expectations: looking forward to the spring moon and season blooming into a flower wall, looking forward to the summer fireflies flickering in the forest, looking forward to the autumn fruits full of branches, looking forward to the winter snow falling in front of the window.

The deaf and clear-sighted Shang Ni even knew that the girls on the farm looked forward to the coming of summer every winter and could wear beautiful dresses, but it was really hot and humid summer, and they were bored at home and did not want to go out, missing the warm and quiet time in front of the fireplace in winter. These clueless little troubles are the most real breath of life.

It's like Muyang City, where every day of the year is exactly the same, like a machine with a pre-programmed program, and there is no hope at all.

Many flowers that need to be vernalized at low temperatures to bloom are usually impossible to see in the urban green belt of Muyang City. In the interstellar age, all products that cannot be completely handed over to machines to produce and operate in factories are luxuries. Precious delicate flowers such as Yueji, which are difficult to serve, only occasionally appear in the deep house for the big people to enjoy and play.

Shang Ni and Shang Yao had never had a Star Festival before, and the Star Festival was not a big day in the home planet, and it was not as lively as the traditional national festivals in some regions.

Besides, without the unified organization of the country, the people on the home planet will be lazy even on the major traditional festivals in the region, not to mention this kind of new festival that has no historical accumulation at all, or the festival of those laypeople who don't know how to enjoy life on the planet.

But in Lixing, the anniversary of the founding of the Star Alliance is very important, because all the Lixing are living under the hands of the Star Alliance. In such a politically charged festival, no star owner will be able to lose the face of the Star Alliance.

Therefore, no matter how remote and barren the star is, the Star Festival is the most important festival, not to mention the developed star Yuyang, which can be ranked in the entire Star Alliance, and the festival is really very hard.

But in two lives, it was the first time Shang Ni had seen such a strange celebration with such a strange atmosphere.

I usually don't feel that I don't leave home to practice and study at school every day, but when I came home from school on the afternoon of the 17th, I found that the entire Muyang City had changed, and every street in the entire city was occupied by blooming flowers, and in some places, even the streets disappeared and were directly paved into a field of flowers. Anyway, everyone is used to using aircraft when they go out, and the role of the street has become more and more weak.

Even the flying aircraft signs that hovered in the air were decorated with flowers and neon.

These seasonal flowers from the home planet or major stars bloom at the same time in late autumn in Muyang, a constant temperature city that seems to be covered with a glass cover, which makes Shang Ni feel ......

Funds are burning......

In Lixing, these non-necessities are very expensive......

Originally, a city covered with flowers and lanterns should be a very grand festival dress, and Shang Ni has never seen such a trench in his two lives. In the past, in the mortal towns under the Lingxu Mountain, every time the New Year was approaching, a few red lanterns were just hung up, and the shops on the street bought some New Year's goods that suited the occasion, or engaged in some gimmicky reward activities, and even there were trenchy shops to make a free order or something, shouting at the bustling crowd, or the entrenched guests were happy, standing up in the restaurant and shouting: "Today I have a treat, everyone can eat as much as you want! It's really a festive atmosphere.

But there is no store in Yuyang Lixing......

Not only Yuyang Lixing, almost all Lixing does not have a store. In fact, even on the home planet, only a few century-old stores remain.

Stores have basically disappeared in this era, and all people's shopping needs have been solved on the online store. It is said that a hundred years ago, there were restaurants on the streets, and people would gather together to choose a good restaurant for a meal during the festival, and after eating, they would go to drink some wine and have some supper, but now why do they get together?

There are no shops, and the happy pedestrians on the street have nowhere to stop, and this joy cannot be kept like running water between their fingers.

Besides, there were not many people on the street, everyone was in the flying machine in mid-air, and the ghost knows what the expressions on the faces of the people sitting in the metal bumps were, and how happy they were.

I feel that the people of this planet are holding back their strength for fear that others will not know their joy for the Star Shining Sun and their gratitude for the new life that the Star Alliance has created for everyone, but they don't know how to express it appropriately.

It's as if festivity has become a political task here......

Shang Ni and Shang Yao shuttled through the flower fields, once again deeply feeling that they were out of place in this strange place.

Fortunately, the Shang family bought a school district house, not far from Yuyang No. 1 Middle School, and Shang Ni and the two walked for more than ten minutes.

Closing the door, Shang Ni and Shang Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

The two began to race against time to set up a small teleportation array at home as planned.

The time soon came to eight o'clock in the evening, and the video website on the super brain began to have literary celebrations, and there were no people on the street, and there were many small unmanned aerial vehicles active in mid-air to deliver couriers, which was in stark contrast to the extremely lively flower roads. Most of the people on the planet are sitting on their couches at this time, watching the programs of different video sites on their respective superbrains, or simply doing something else.

At twelve o'clock, the fireworks show arrives as scheduled, and a large number of dazzling fireworks burst into the sky above the city.

Such a spectacular fireworks show, Shang Ni had never seen it in the cultivation realm, and the two of them stopped their array workstations and went to the window.

Maybe birds are born with a love of colorful colors, and tonight's fireworks resemble the beautiful feathers of birds, so even Shang Yao is a little distracted.

"It's really a prosperous world, this fireworks are really dreamlike!" Shang Ni stood in front of the window, leaned against Shang Yao, and muttered in a low voice.

Shang Ni gently unfolded his divine sense, wanting to experience more beauty, but found that the entire city was quiet except for the sky. Under the fireworks, the splendid flower road illuminated by the lights looks particularly lonely.

......

In the early morning of the second day, Shang Ni pinched the wind, turned his body into a breeze, wrapped Shang Yao, and walked all the way out of the community to the south.
