Night slowly descended. The bustling gathering hall gradually quietened down as the sky gradually darkened. On the lively stages of the various worlds, other than a few programs that were arranged towards the end or the finale, most of them had already cleaned up in preparation for tomorrow's battle.
The first day of the Carnival had ended. It was a joyous and thrilling day. However, today's celebration had just begun.
If such a festival didn't have similarly lively night activities to decorate it, wouldn't it be unworthy of its name?
After the day's activities ended, there would be a few hours of rest. At night, the activities would shift to the City of Shadows. However, rather than calling it a celebration, it would be better to call it a trade fair. This was a suggestion that Icetis had made based on similar activities that she had organized in the past. During the day, there would be performances and celebrations, while at night, a large-scale night market would be held. This would allow the various worlds to exchange what they needed, thus achieving the highest efficiency in cultural exchange. At 9 pm, all the streets of the City of Shadows would be opened. The builders had already made preparations in advance. They had prepared sufficient stalls in the city and near the outskirts. Many of the revellers from various worlds had come for these business opportunities. To certain Transmigrators who liked to take risks and take risks, the attraction of cultural performances was obviously not as great as the opportunity to hunt for rare treasures.
In the other two worlds, the same activities were being carried out simultaneously. Places like the Martian Sanctuary were completely managed by the Builders of the Empire. It was said that the supermarkets in the World of Azeroth were all contracted by the Goblins. Let's just hope that those green dwarves would live up to their reputation of establishing a country and not mess things up.
After returning with my family for dinner, we waited for less than two hours. The usually energetic Shallow Shallow was the first to be unable to sit still. She dragged everyone back to the City of Shadows. She looked just like when I was young and she would drag me to the main street before midnight to wait for the firecrackers to explode on the streets. She exuded the loveliness and naivety of a little girl. Infected by Shallow Shallow's joyous mood, my mood was exceptionally high. Thus, even when I saw a few commanders of the Third Planet's landing assault team disguising themselves as Maoshan Daoist priests and peddling Jewel Seeds that had been blessed, I turned a blind eye to it.
Compared to the captains of the 3rd Legion who were peddling Soul Slashers to the Jedi Knights, you're already a man of integrity.
It was the first time that the City of Shadows was so lively under the night sky. Everywhere was a boiling cauldron of voices and tourists. The streets that were usually under blackout welcomed the first time for the night sky to shine brightly. Under the bright artificial light, one could see vendors selling all sorts of strange items, as well as Transmigrator guests who wandered around with a face full of astonishment. Even the vendors themselves would occasionally steal some rare items from the nearby stalls. This wasn't a strictly regulated trade market, but an exchange center built to allow people from different worlds to get to know each other. The roles of the customers and the vendors here were extremely blurry. As long as you had something that others were interested in, you could look for the patrolling Empire soldiers to register and sell it at any time. Correspondingly, even if you had already applied for a shop, if you found something you wanted to buy, you could skip work and purchase it at any time. No customers would complain about you because everyone was busy doing the same thing.
There were craftsmen from Iron Furnace Castle who sold Khorium glasses, alchemists from Vades who sold Arcane Iron amulets, mages from another world who sold all kinds of magic crystals, C.C. who sold Cherry Stones as jewelry from another world and was making a fortune, 88th generation disciples from Maoshan who sold all kinds of children's flying swords for five dollars each, Proteus merchants who sold large quantities of Psionic Crystals for interstellar transportation, ticket scalpers from the Empire who sold the first express train tickets to the Azeroth Assembly Hall the next day … The bustling merchants and tourists turned this capital of worlds into a glorious city that never sleeps.
The girls who came together with me had split up to shop. Shallow Shallow, Sandora, and Big Sister. Each of them had their own thing that they liked. Coupled with the craziness of girls when shopping, they basically disappeared the moment they arrived here. Even Pandora and Visca had followed Big Sister to who knows where.
Alright, I admit that I had thought of a way to sneak out after seeing the excited looks on the faces of the few beauties who were about to go on a shopping spree. Previously, I had nearly died of exhaustion from accompanying the five Protoss cops to shop in the old city. This time, I had to accompany them to the City of Shadows' marketplace? Let me off the hook.
But … as expected, there was still a little bug that I was unable to completely shake off.
I looked to my side helplessly. Little Bubble was tugging on my clothes tightly while greeting anything that passed by. This little lass had almost become my pet.
With her ability to appear and disappear unpredictably, there was no way I would be able to shake her off.
And on the other side, there was another fellow that I similarly couldn't shake off.
She looked exactly the same as Little Bubble on the outside, but she walked in an imposing manner, as if she was a young madam going out on a trip. She was my child's mother.
Since the matters at night were slightly simpler, after the day's work was over, the coordination of the night's work could be handed over to the other mass produced mainframes. Bubble, who had worked hard for the entire day, finally had time to rest. Thus, she appeared in front of my child's father who was dragging his daughter to stroll on the streets.
"Being busy with work and neglecting your partner is the biggest taboo that career-type women are most likely to commit!" This was what my child's mother said when she stood in front of me thirty minutes ago. "That's why no matter how tired you are after work, you must do your best to spend the night with your partner! Child's father, let us work hard to strengthen our relationship as husband and wife! "
Standing at the crossroads, in front of countless transmigrators from the boundless universe, the little loli made such a majestic declaration as she looked up at the man in front of her with a height of a meter and a height of forty-five degrees.
Bubble, you are forcing me onto the path of death!
Even though I used a hand chop to stop this tough otaku who had always prided herself as my child's mother from speaking any more immoral words, I had no choice but to accept the fact that this damn otaku had successfully stuck by my side. In order to stop her unthinking and terrible words, I had really racked my brain along the way. But now, it seemed that Bubble had finally succeeded in attracting her attention to the surrounding shops.
As a matter of fact, when we strolled to the vicinity of the Yggdrasill Shrine, Bubble once again found something she was interested in. She immediately tugged on my clothes and pointed to the front, shouting loudly, "Child's father, look! One hundred thousand, it's one hundred thousand! "
Following the direction of her finger, I instantly collapsed. On the empty space in front of the Yggdrasill, a large stall that occupied a large area swaggered to block the main entrance of the shrine. A certain Red and White Witch was currently hawking on the street.
"Talisman! Technique talisman! Divine talisman! Various kinds of books, artifacts, talismans, scrolls! The latest technology from the Boli Shrine! Eliminate disasters and avoid evil spirits, pray for blessings, seek good fortune and avoid calamity. It works every time! It's absolutely authentic. If it's fake, you'll be fined ten times! The strongest witch of the Boli Shrine personally used her spiritual power to enhance each talisman. Each talisman is handmade. On the back, there's the signature of the great monster of the Fantasy Village! Take a look, take a look, the most effective charm only costs 998! As long as you can bring good luck home, you won't have to be afraid of evil spirits anymore! "
Ling Meng! Are you really so poor that you can only sell talismans on the street to earn money? Or have you finally decided to abandon your last bit of moral integrity in order to redeem yourself and go home?
Bubble didn't care about the Red and White Witch's moral integrity. At this moment, her otaku soul was burning and she couldn't control herself. She pulled me and ran toward the stall. "It seems that business is good. Let's go and take a look!"
Although I was full of things to complain about, Ling Meng's stall seemed to have a good business. There was a circle of customers surrounding the stall.
Of course, I felt that more than half of these customers weren't attracted by her talismans. The most eye-catching thing about Ling Meng wasn't her talismans, but the fact that she dared to wear the armband of a city enforcement officer and openly set up a stall in the non-commercial zone …
Such a valiant hawker was enough to attract attention.
When Bubble, Little Bubble, and I squeezed into the stall, Ling Meng was busy arranging a stack of talismans and handing it to Shana — — Shana, do you really think that these things will work on the Red World people?
"Hey, Ling Meng."
The other party didn't notice us, so I had to take the initiative to greet her.
Instantly, the Red and White Witch stiffened.
At the same time, behind Ling Meng, what we thought was a pile of half-finished talismans suddenly moved. Accompanied by the sound of talismans sliding down, a blonde girl wearing a soft hat suddenly came out. She yawned and shouted, "Ah ah, Ling Meng, I really can't write anymore. I want to go back to sleep. The executive doesn't let me sleep during the day, and you don't let me at night either …"
She stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence. She was holding a stack of talismans and a brush in her hand. She was in the middle of "autographing a great monster full of spiritual power." She was stunned. She exchanged glances with her boss, and both of them were confused.
The corner of my mouth twitched. Looking at the duo from the Land of Fantasy selling talismans, veins popped up on my forehead. "First, Ling Meng, you should still be patrolling. Second, Purple, you still have half an hour before your shift changes. Third, I personally noticed that half of your talismans are just scribbles. Fourth, the market order management personnel are not allowed to participate in the trade activities between transmigrators. Fifth, Ling Meng, you are suspected of exaggerating. Sixth … "
Speaking until here, I looked at the pale golden fence not far behind the two girls in front of me. That was the outer barrier of the Basilica of the World Tree.
"Sixth, stalls are strictly prohibited within a hundred meters of Heaven …"
She was still holding a stack of talismans and temporary currency (the currency used between transmigrators during the carnival. After the festival ends, the registered personnel of the Space Administration can exchange it for the Empire's currency. As for the guests who are not registered with the Space Administration and are only invited as' family members', they need to spend all the currency before the festival ends). With an awkward expression on her face, the Red and White Witch's eyes quickly drifted. "Ah ha, ah ha ha. Is that so? Purple and I are only temporary workers. I didn't think we would have to …"
"Those are the rules for temporary workers." I glanced at the person who could sell her moral integrity at any time. I knew that she was going to fool us again. "Also, the sign 'No stalls are strictly prohibited within a hundred meters of Heaven' is less than five meters behind you! Eight Cloud Purple's parasol is still leaning on it! "
"I was wrong."
Ling Meng straightforwardly put down the talismans and lowered her head to admit her mistake. Then, she raised her head with tears in her eyes. "But can I not deduct the bonus …"
"Although I already said that this would cause problems," Eight Cloud Purple crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked helplessly at Ling Meng, who was giggling and scratching her face. Then, she looked at me quietly. "Are we going to be punished?"
"Forget it." I waved my hand at them under their surprised gazes. "Have fun, but don't set up a stall at the gate of Heaven. Also, Ling Meng, you have to work hard tomorrow! Based on my experience, Sicarro should have finished his goods by now. "
"Ha, thank you …" Ling Meng was immediately happy that her bonus was secured. "You are such a good person!"
I was speechless.
After bidding farewell to the two girls who had redeemed their freedom, I forcefully pulled Bubble, who had insisted on keeping Eight Cloud Purple and Soul Dream as part of my collection, out of this area. However, we hadn't gone far when we stopped in front of another stall.
It was a gorgeous shop front decorated with fresh flowers. The crystal cross symbol at the door indicated that this was a shop operated by the Imperial Army. On the shop door, there was a sign that said 'XX Flower Shop, Shadow City Branch'.
The two sisters, Asida and Asidora, were wearing shop assistant uniforms and handing out flyers at the door. At least, they looked like they were going to hand out flyers.
You two are holding a large stack of flyers, standing at the door and staring at each other silently. There won't be any customers for the whole night!
I silently ridiculed them in my heart and pulled Bubble away.
"But should we go take a look? It's the Asida sisters' shop, "the child's mother asked curiously.
"If we don't go, first, they might not be able to hear you. Second, even if they hear you, they will only say 'borrow money'," I replied resolutely. I replied without hesitation. That pair of idiotic sisters with limitless business ability actually knew to open a branch in the crowded Shadow City during the holidays to solve the rent and water problems outside. They were really not simple. However, as long as they didn't change their bad habit of falling into a world of two and turning a deaf ear to the outside world, the two of them wouldn't be able to live a happy life without subsistence allowances for a single day!
At that moment, Little Bubble, who had been obediently following beside us, suddenly noticed something. She tugged on my clothes and shouted, "Wah! Chirp! "
I looked up and saw a figure looking around as if she was looking for something.
"Jill! Over here! "
I called from afar. The blonde girl who was tens of meters away immediately turned around. When she saw us, her face was filled with undisguised joy and she quickly ran over.
"Ha, I finally found her. I felt Little Bubble's aura just now, but I couldn't find her."
After being in our circle for such a long time, Jill has really changed a lot.
Little Bubble affectionately hugged her mother's waist and giggled happily. At the same time, she rubbed her head against her mother's tummy. I knew that this little guy would only do this to the person closest to him or to his favorite toy. I only hoped that Little Bubble didn't think of Jill as the latter.
Jill felt extremely awkward from the rubbing. She couldn't maintain the cold and arrogant expression that she always had on her face. She could only show an angry expression at us and then bend down to explain to her 'owner' why she wasn't by her side for the entire day.
"Your Sixth Holy Grail War has ended?"
I looked at Golden Flash with a teasing expression. She immediately lifted her head and said proudly, "It was a complete success. The Holy Grail is already in this king's possession!"
You actually took it seriously!
"Tell me the truth, how did you compete?"
I asked with a smile. As I wanted to watch Pandora and her sister's sports competition, I missed the 'competition' of the Heroic Spirits, so I was a little curious.
"The first round was naturally a normal battle. This king easily got first place in the group." Jill started explaining to us while counting with her fingers, "Then there was Landlord, Dodgeball, Lianliankan, Handicraft, Sewing, Music, Super Mario and Checkers. Don't think that it was just a competition. There were many challenges!"
I blinked as I waited for Jill to finish. My face was covered in cold sweat, "You competed in this?"
If your 3D fans knew about this competition, they would cry themselves to death!
"What? You lowly commoner, are you looking down on this king's strength?" Jill saw the look of disbelief on my face and immediately misunderstood. She turned her face and made an arrogant expression, "Although it was a strange competition, this king usually trained well! Even though He had lost to Medusa's handheld controller in a few segments, This King was undeniably first in the overall score! Something like the Holy Grail naturally became this king's possession! "
I silently listened to Sister Jill's proud declaration. I couldn't help but sympathize with this fellow who didn't even realize that she had learned cruel playing techniques during her babysitting career. "Didn't you realize that half of the techniques you mentioned just now were developed when you were taking care of Little Bubble and playing with her?"
"Hmph, look at your silly appearance. You really spoil this king's mood." Gilmei yelled at Rhode bluntly. However, it was obvious from her words that she was saying, "How dare you not praise me?". Then, she picked up Little Bubble who was asking for candies from her and put on a solemn expression. "It's almost ten o 'clock now. Kids need to sleep! I'll be carrying the little princess away … "
Watching Jill gradually walk further away, I silently sighed after a long time, "As expected, she is a good nanny."
Bubble nodded her head in satisfaction, "Looks like it's very reassuring to hand my precious daughter over to this shiny guy."
"You seem to have a good impression of Gilgamesh?" I looked strangely at the little 'wife' next to me who rarely gave good reviews to others.
"Well, it's not bad. Anyway, I always felt that a guy who dared to name himself as a galactic game is really amazing."
