Chapter 229 People From Other Worlds on Earth

It took a long time to send those two boxes of bottles and cans. First of all, it was a headache because many of the orders were for cross-border business. Secondly, it was also troublesome to pack those glass bottles. You don’t have to stuff them half way when packing. I don't feel at ease even if I put a pound of foam into it. After all, this thing is fragile. The girl who filled out the express delivery form was shocked when she saw such a large group of people running over to send international express parcels across the Eurasian continent. If she had been more ideologically aware, she might have called the anti-terrorism department. Fortunately, Hao Hao Ren was clever and explained promptly, saying that his group was an art studio specializing in making handicrafts. These were handicrafts for takeout, so the talent at the express company finally didn't ask any more questions. The labels on a few of the bottles have not yet been torn off, and the words "yellow peach/strawberry/yam/Wang Zhihe" are confusing...

Fortunately, I finally managed to get over it. These days, as long as you say it's for art, you can basically hold on to 99% of the scenes.

Then a group of people rushed by car to the downtown business district.

Betsy had never been quiet since she got on the bus. The moment the bus started, Hao Ren noticed that the girl almost made a move to draw her sword - it seemed that her sword was sealed immediately. Keeping it at home is a smart move. Hao Ren asked curiously and found out that Betsy sensed "a violent and uncontrollable force rising under her feet" the moment the car started. She thought the car was going to explode, so she prepared to break the window and get out...

You can see the cultural differences between the two worlds in this matter. Although the alchemy technology of the Dream Plane is somewhat similar to Earth's technology, their use of energy is more direct and tough. They are accustomed to using the power of magic. Complete control of energy, although this results in most of their alchemical equipment being low powered, yet highly controllable. The earth is a world of explosives. Human beings are good at mixing various dangerous high-energy gadgets and blowing them up, and then using various indirect devices to control them: in a delicate balance that can barely be called safe. Click to control them. So Betsy, who came from the Dream Plane, was terrified of the technological products on Earth. As a magic swordsman who has been dealing with traps and ruins all year round and is sensitive to energy, she immediately discovered that the cylinders of things like "cars" were plain to say. It's just a controllable bomb... Its cylinder always cycles between "detonated" and "not exploded".

Hao Ren couldn't explain what the Earth Engineer's safety indicators and cylinder safety components were. He could only emphasize to Betsy that the car was safe, stable, and would not explode easily, despite the smell of its cylinder. It does feel like a tandem bomb to Betsy...

Betsy finally calmed down after the initial shock. She was amazed by the inventions and creations of the people on earth (especially the adventurous parts of these creations). In her opinion, a car that was propelled by constant explosions "Alchemy vehicles" are simply unbelievable. In the Dream Plane, only those desperate alchemy lunatics would research this, but on Earth it has developed to such a common and safe level. She lay by the car window and stared curiously, studying every landscape passing by outside. Like a hundred thousand human figures, there was a question every half minute, such as why the ropes used by people on earth to dry clothes are so long. Hanging so high (actually wires), why do the trees on the roadside not look healthy enough, why do people on earth build roads so wide, and why do they have to travel so far when going out to buy things: her thoughts on the population of the earth Density and city size are clearly not well understood.

Finally, Betsy pointed to the highway billboard passing by the car window and expressed her opinion: "The security here is not very good?"

Lily was surprised: "Why do you say that?"

"There are wanted posters everywhere, and they are so big," Betsy said seriously, "I saw that two-thirds of the signs have the same person on them. How serious a crime has he committed that he needs to be printed three meters tall by you?" Wide banners hang on the roadside..."

As soon as everyone was stunned, Betsy followed her mercenary thoughts: "So if I kill him, will I get a lot of reward? Do you have any mercenaries here?"

Hao Ren quickly extinguished Betsy's thoughts: "Don't! Those things are advertisements with movie stars on them - if you stab them, you will be sentenced to at least twenty years."

Betsy was surprised: "Isn't that series of strange symbols below a bounty?"

“…That’s the ordering phone number.”

Betsy immediately sat back in disappointment: "It's so difficult for mercenaries to get around here, they 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 eldest brother who was driving heard the lively conversation between Hao Ren and asked curiously: "Is this girl a foreigner? It's her first time in China? See? She was very excited, and I gave her a good introduction to what we have here. I heard that many foreigners have little information these days, and some Americans think that we grow braids...it’s all because of the half-baked directors in Hollywood.”

Hao Ren smiled dryly and said perfunctorily: "Um, international students from Gambodulazzaville in Europe..."

"What are you talking about? Is it related to me?" Betsy looked at Hao Ren and the driver talking curiously, "I can't even understand the Earth dialect, but you guys know all the languages. I'm so envious - can I let you do the same? What kind of goddess would you say would give you a blessing?"

Hao Ren wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Don't add to the excitement. Fortunately, you don't know Chinese!"

Betsy had been talking to people in the language of the Dream Plane along the way, so Hao Ren could safely and boldly let her "give a hundred thousand whys" in public. What if this girl really learned the Earth dialect? As for her wild questions, if the enthusiastic people heard them, she would either be sent to a mental hospital on the spot, or Hao Ren and the others would be sent to the police station on suspicion of trafficking in foreign women, and Betsy would have to be sent to a mental hospital...

Everyone finally got off the car at the largest shopping mall in the city. This was also the place where Hilda had been shopping yesterday. Hao Ren was surprised to find that the animation exhibition here had not dispersed yet. It seemed that it was a large-scale formal exhibition. , the group of young people walking like a hundred ghosts at night still occupied two-thirds of the exhibition area marked by yellow separation strips in the square. Hao Ren stretched his neck and looked across the square, confirming that the exhibition base should be the gymnasium opposite - It's a pity that he doesn't even have a ticket, so he has no chance to lead the group of abnormal creatures behind him to join in the fun.

Betsy looked at the scene in the square in surprise. Those young people in strange clothes did not match the scenery of the earth she saw along the way, but some of them made her feel inexplicably similar to her hometown. She stretched her neck and looked around, and suddenly raised her hand to create a small fireball with great interest: "Here's the gold coin! That female knight is worth fighting. I want to compete with her..."

Hao Ren was horrified when he saw this scene. He patted Betsy's fireball and head with a conditioned reflex speed: "What a fool! Her armor is made of plastic! Just light it on fire!"

"What on earth is this for?" Betsy looked around blankly. Fortunately, Hao Ren reacted quickly just now, and no one noticed the small fireballs she made. "Some of them look like combat professionals. "

"This is play. Do you understand the purpose of play?" Hao Ren said. He noticed that Lily's eyes also started to glow, and it seemed that there was an invisible tail swinging behind her body like a propeller. " Let’s wait until we get back. Can we go do some business now? Otherwise, with Lily’s character, she won’t come back until the sun goes down after she sneaks into the place!”

Hao Ren finally dragged Betsy and Lily, who were looking eager to try, into the nearby shopping mall. As soon as they entered the door, they finally didn't have to worry about the mercenary girl rushing in and unleashing a sword storm among the "warriors worth fighting" outside, because Obviously things like shopping malls have a greater impact on Betsy.

"This place..." Betsy looked blankly at the giant commercial building in front of her (this was only a small part of what she could see), "Is it just used to sell things?"

"It's pretty big, right?" Hao Ren felt that only at this time could he feel the pride of being an Earthling: Compared with the supermen of the Dream Plane, humans are physically weak, have poor resistance, have short lifespans, and don't know magic, but there is only one thing that looks similar. What’s particularly amazing is that social development is almost out of control...

As a result, Betsy curled her lips and said, "I don't think it's big, it's just that there are so many people. I've never seen so many people."

Hao Ren: "..."

He found that he had made a mistake, thinking that only people on earth could build those huge wonders and buildings, but he forgot that the level of civilization in the Dream Plane was actually not too low, and it was actually easier to live in a world with centralized feudal power and strong theocracy. With the emergence of large-scale construction that wastes people and money, coupled with their small population, various giant buildings are more likely to look shocking-the Great Wall during the Golden Week and the ordinary Great Wall look absolutely two different concepts. So Betsy was not amazed by how grand this place was. What she was amazed about from the time she left home was how strange things were on earth.

Hao Ren understood another piece of advice in the work manual: Don't think that people from other worlds are rubes - when they see things on your home planet, their exclamation is not out of awe, most of the time they just think the locals are interesting. .

This sentence was used to dispel part of the prosecutor's sense of superiority, and Hao Ren now began to realize its true meaning.
