Chapter 264 Trading [Part 1]
"In addition to those powerful families, ordinary people celebrate the New Year, they all sit together to have a meal. Then the elders will give their younger generations some New Year's money, and then, families who can afford fireworks will set off some fireworks and firecrackers. At the same time, the city's government will also specially clean up a venue and set off some fireworks and firecrackers for people in the city to watch..."
Su Ming simply introduced the process of celebrating the New Year for ordinary people in the cultivation world to several people. After all, although she didn't have the leisure to celebrate the New Year, she still saw the process of celebrating the New Year.
"Fireworks? Are there fireworks and firecrackers in the cultivation world?"
Qin Xu and others were very surprised. They thought that there should be no such thing as fireworks in the cultivation world. After all, the main material for making fireworks is gunpowder, and gunpowder...
If one is not done well, the cultivation world may have an industrial revolution!
"Is there anything to surprise this?"
Looking at the surprised look on the faces of the few people, Su Ming naturally guessed what they thought. He chuckled and said, "I know what you want to say. Cultivation and gunpowder sound a little out of place at first glance. After all, one side belongs to what you call metaphysics, while the other side belongs to the science in your mouth, which seems to be opposite. However, you forgot a little bit, and the same path is the same. Whether it is science or metaphysics, its essence is the same, that is, to make the people who use it stronger, but the focus of the world is different..."
"It's like your world is mainly science, but it has unscientific things like internal energy. Isn't it normal for the cultivation world to exist as a product of gunpowder?"
“…”
It sounds like there is some reason?!
Qin Xu and the other two looked at each other. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with saying this. Their world is mainly science, but they still have things like martial arts that are not very scientific. Therefore, it is normal to have gunpowder in the cultivation world, which focuses on practicing and becoming an immortal... It's a ghost!
Science and martial arts, cultivation of immortals and gunpowder, aren’t they of the same level of existence at all?
We didn’t have too much time to worry about this issue. After all, today’s main event is to celebrate the New Year, not to mention that they are not professional research researchers. No matter how much they are confused, it is impossible to understand the specific principles, right?!
After passing this incomprehensible topic, the few people devoted themselves to preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner for the evening.
Nowadays, the conditions are limited, so it is impossible to make a table of dishes like before. However, under the current conditions, it is still completely fine to try to cook the New Year’s Eve dinner as much as possible.
However, the preparation of the New Year's Eve dinner for several people had just begun. Before they could formally take action, Qin Zhongguo sent someone to call them over.
"I was thinking that this is the New Year, so there are more people to make it lively, so I just gathered everyone together and everyone came to celebrate the New Year..."
Qin Zhongguo smiled and said to Su Ming and others that in the open-air ground, the management of the entire City of Hope had basically arrived, some with their family members, and some were the only ones who were alone.
A large number of people gathered together. Although the weather was still very cold, everyone's faces were full of smiles, and it was obvious that they were in a good mood.
"It's really lively if there are too many people!"
Su Ming smiled, then looked at the simple yard that temporarily allowed the earth-type superpowers to form a wall in the open space, and after thinking about it, he raised his hand and quickly outlined it in the void.
"The weather is so cold, so let's set up a small barrier to change the temperature. Since it is just a barrier constructed by the void talisman, its duration is limited and can only last for a few hours. However, it should be enough for everyone to have a New Year's Eve dinner..."
As Su Ming finished speaking, the talismans generated in the void were also submerged into the land. An invisible barrier enveloped the entire courtyard, including a small piece of land outside the courtyard, and the originally cold air began to change rapidly.
The barrier generated by the Void Talisman is mainly maintained by Su Ming's own spiritual power, so it is naturally impossible to persist for two or three years at a time like the formation in the planting area. However, it is just for everyone to have a New Year's Eve dinner together, and it should be completely enough to last for only a few hours!
In the simple open-air yard, a group of people sat around several bonfires in groups, eating the New Year's Eve dinner that was so simple that it could not be simple, while talking about topics they were interested in.
"Sure enough, the New Year without fireworks and firecrackers is incomplete!"
While eating, Lei Zi sighed with regret. Although he was having a happy New Year, he always felt that there was still a little less smell without fireworks and firecrackers.
As he was talking, a sudden flash of inspiration in Lei Zi's heart.
"You said, if the soldiers were asked to fire guns at the sky and then let the fire-type psychics throw fireballs into the sky, can they replace fireworks and firecrackers?!"
The sound of gunfire is replaced by firecrackers, and the flames are replaced by fireworks, which is simply perfect!
"I think it would be more fun to find a tank, stuff you into the barrel, and then fire it into the sky..."
Lin Yuliang couldn't help rolling his eyes and replied to Lei Zi in anger, "It would be fine to ask the fire-type psychics to throw fireballs instead of fireworks, but what the hell is it to ask the soldiers to shoot instead of firecrackers?"
Let’s not talk about the issue of wasting bullets. Just the sound, when the gunshot sounds, who is still in the mood to celebrate the New Year? At that time, everyone in the city should be frightened and suspected that there were zombies attacking me, right?!
"You really want to see fireworks, do you?"
Su Ming touched her chin and asked thoughtfully, "She was in a good mood today, so let's satisfy the wishes of these people."
"Yes, during the Chinese New Year, there must be fireworks to make the atmosphere more interesting!"
Lei Zi replied subconsciously. Before he could figure out the reason for Su Ming's question, he saw a ball of flame suddenly rise from Su Ming's hand, and then flew towards the sky at a high speed.
The others in the yard also noticed Su Ming's actions, and immediately turned around and looked over, preparing to see what Su Ming was going to do, and then...
"Damn..."
