It took a long time to send out the two boxes of bottles and cans. First of all, many of the orders were international business, which was quite a headache. Secondly, the packaging of the glass bottles was also a hassle. You would not feel at ease if you did not stuff half a pound of foam into the box. After all, these things were fragile. The girl who was filling in the form was shocked when she saw such a large group of people running over to send international express mail to the entire Eurasian continent. If she was more aware, she might have called the relevant anti-terrorism department. Fortunately, Hao Ren was quick-witted and explained in time that they were an art studio specializing in handicrafts. These were handicrafts for sale, so the courier company did not ask any more questions. There were a few bottles whose labels had not been torn off. The words "Yellow Peach, Strawberry, Sweet Potato, Wang Zhihe" were more puzzling.
Fortunately, they managed to fool them in the end. In this day and age, as long as you said it was for art, you could basically handle 99% of the situation.
Then, the group of people rushed to the downtown business district by car.
Becky had not been quiet since she got on the bus. The moment the bus started, Hao Ren noticed that the girl almost pulled out her sword. It seemed that it was a wise move to seal her sword at home. Hao Ren asked curiously and found out that the moment the bus started, Becky felt "a violent and uncontrollable force rising under her feet". She thought the bus was going to explode, so she was ready to break the window and escape...
From this incident, you could see the cultural difference between the two worlds. Although the alchemy technology in The Plane of Dreams was somewhat similar to that on Earth, the use of energy was more direct and forceful. They were used to using the power of magic to completely control energy. Although this led to the low power of most of their alchemy equipment, it was very controllable. On the other hand, Earth was a world of bombs. Humans were good at mixing all kinds of dangerous high-energy things together and blowing them up, and then using various indirect devices to control them: to control them at a delicate, barely safe point of balance. Therefore, Becky, who came from The Plane of Dreams, was terrified of the technological products on Earth. As a magic swordsman who dealt with traps and ruins all year round and was sensitive to energy, she immediately found that the cylinder of the "car" was, to put it bluntly, a controllable bomb... Its cylinder was always in the state of "detonation" and "not exploding".
Hao Ren could not explain what the safety indicators and cylinder safety components were. He could only repeatedly emphasize to Becky that the car was safe, stable, and would not easily explode, even though the smell of its cylinder did make Becky feel like a row of bombs...
After the initial shock, Becky finally calmed down. She was amazed by the inventions of the earthlings (especially the risky parts of these inventions). In her opinion, an "alchemy vehicle" propelled by continuous explosions was incredible. Probably only those crazy alchemists in The Plane of Dreams would study it, but on Earth, it had developed to such a common and safe degree. She leaned against the window and stared curiously at every landscape that passed by outside. Like a human with 100,000 whys, there was a question every half a minute, such as why the earthlings hung their clothes so high (it was actually a wire), why the trees on the roadside looked unhealthy, why the earthlings built the road so wide, and why they had to go so far to buy things. She obviously did not have enough understanding of the population density and the size of the cities on Earth.
Finally, Becky pointed to the highway billboard outside the window and expressed her opinion. "Is the security here not very good?"
Lily was very surprised. "Why do you say that?"
"There are wanted posters everywhere, and they're so big," Becky said with a serious face, "I saw that two-thirds of the posters have the same person on them. How big of a crime did he commit for you to print it into a three-meter-wide banner and hang it on the roadside …"
As soon as everyone was stunned, Becky followed her mercenary train of thought. "So if I cut him down, will I get a lot of money? Do you have mercenaries here? "
Hao Ren quickly extinguished Becky's idea. "Don't! Those things are advertisements, and there are movie stars on them. If you cut him down, you will be sentenced to at least 20 years in prison. "
Becky was surprised. "That string of strange symbols below is not a bounty?"
"... That's a call to order."
Becky suddenly sat back down in disappointment. "It's too hard to be a mercenary in this place. I can't even find a job."
There were not many people in the car. Except for the driver, there were only two or three passengers. At this time, the driver heard Hao Ren talking and asked curiously, "Is this girl a foreigner? First time in China? She looks very excited. Introduce her to the things we have here. I heard that many foreigners are not informed. Some Americans even think that we keep our hair in braids … It's all because of those half-baked Hollywood directors. "
Hao Ren smiled perfunctorily. "Err, I'm a student from Europe, Gundotra Chaville..."
"What are you talking about? Something to do with me? " Becky looked curiously at the conversation between Hao Ren and the driver. "I don't understand Earth's language, but you guys know all the languages. I'm so jealous. Can I also get a blessing from the goddess you mentioned?"
Hao Ren wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. "Don't add to the fun. Fortunately, you can't speak Chinese!"
Becky had been talking to people in the language of The Plane of Dreams along the way. That was why Hao Ren could rest assured and let her ask "100,000 whys" in public. If the girl really learned the language of Earth, it would be disastrous. If her unconstrained questions were heard by the enthusiastic people, she would either be seized and sent to the mental hospital on the spot, or Hao Ren and the others would be seized and sent to the police station for suspected trafficking of foreign women. Only Becky would be seized and sent to the mental hospital...
They finally got off the car at the largest shopping mall in the city. This was also the place where they had visited with Hilda yesterday. Hao Ren was surprised to find that the Comic Con here had not yet dispersed. It seemed that it was a grand and formal exhibition. The group of ghost-like young people still occupied two-thirds of the exhibition area, which was divided by yellow tape. Hao Ren stretched his neck and looked across the square. He was sure that the base of the exhibition should be the stadium on the opposite side. Unfortunately, he did not even have a ticket, so there was no chance for him to bring the group of unusual creatures behind him to join in the fun.
Becky looked at the scene in the square in amazement. The strangely dressed young people did not match the scenery on Earth that she had seen along the way. However, some of them inexplicably reminded her of her hometown. She stretched her neck and looked around. Suddenly, she raised her hand excitedly and made a small fireball. "Gold Coin above! That female knight is worth a fight. I want to fight with her... "
Hao Ren was frightened when he saw this. He reflexively slapped the fireball and Becky's head. "Fight my ass! Her armor was made of plastic! Just light it up! "
"What the hell are they doing?" Becky looked around blankly. Fortunately, Hao Ren's reaction was quick, and no one noticed her small fireball. "Some of them look like combat professionals," she said.
"This is fun. Do you understand the context of fun?" Hao Ren was confused because he found that Lily's eyes were also beginning to glow. It seemed that there was an invisible tail behind her body like a propeller. "Let's talk about it when we come back. Now, let's get down to business first. Otherwise, with Lily's character, she won't come back until the sun goes down! "
Hao Ren tried his best to persuade Becky and Lily, who were eager to have a go, into the shopping mall next to them. As soon as they entered the door, they did not have to worry about the mercenary girl rushing into the middle of the "fighters worth a fight" and unleashing a Bladestorm. Obviously, the shopping mall had a greater impact on Becky.
"This place..." Becky stared at the giant commercial building in front of her (this was only a small part of it). "Is it used to sell things?"
"It's pretty big, isn't it?" Hao Ren felt that he could feel the pride of being an earthling: compared to the superhumans in The Plane of Dreams, humans were physically weak, had poor resistance, had a short lifespan and did not know magic. But the only thing that seemed to be particularly powerful was that the development of society was almost out of control...
However, Becky pouted and said, "It's not that big, it's just that there are a lot of people. I've never seen so many people."
Hao Ren was speechless.
He found that he had made a mistake. He thought that only earthlings could build those huge wonders, but he forgot that the level of civilization in The Plane of Dreams was actually not too low. Moreover, a feudal world with a strong theocracy was more likely to have large-scale and costly buildings. Coupled with their small population, all kinds of huge buildings were more likely to look shocking. The Great Wall during the Golden Week looked absolutely different from the usual Great Wall. Therefore, Becky was not amazed by how magnificent the place was. She was amazed by the strange things on Earth from the moment she went out.
Hao Ren also understood a piece of advice in the work manual: Don't think that the people of the Otherworld are all bumpkins. When they see things on your home planet, they are not amazed out of awe. Most of the time, they just find the locals interesting.
This sentence was used to erase some of the inspectors' sense of superiority. Hao Ren now began to understand its true meaning.
