The fireworks blood one after another, interweaving in different colors and shapes, decorating the entire night sky splendidly.
The ashes that fell after the fireworks burned out dropped like teors, causing the tourists to scramble.
After the first round of activities ended, a new activity announcent sounded in the minds of the players:
[Activity Tip: Today’s event has ended, and the free activity content is now open]:
Activity Scene: New Year Temple Fair
Scene Activity Ti: The temple fair scene east of the New Year’s Square is open 24 hours.
Scene Task One: Players can complete the randomly appearing tasks in the temple fair (such as writing Spring Festival couplets, guessing lantern riddles, dragon and lion dances) to earn "New Year Points," which can be exchanged for ga qualification.
Scene Mini-gas: Various mini-gas are set up in the temple fair (such as pot throwing, ring toss, beating the New Year beast), through which players can obtain special red envelopes or points.
Scene Random Event: A random "New Year Beast Attack" event will be refreshed at the temple fair, where players need to work together to defeat the beast and receive rich rewards.
Activity Scene Two: Qualification Exchange Area
Points Exchange: Players can directly exchange New Year Points for ga qualifications (limited).
Lucky Draw: Players can use points to participate in a lottery, with prizes including ga qualifications, a 1-point Sacrificial Power Red Envelope (an extra draw qualification can be obtained after participating in the lottery 10 tis).
Activity Scene Three: New Year’s Secret Realm
Scene Description: Hidden in the event scene is the "New Year’s Secret Realm," which can only be entered through specific conditions (collecting scene clues, communicating with NPCs to obtain) and guarantees ga qualification upon entry (the scene closes after 300,000 ga qualifications are distributed, and the clues to enter the scene change randomly with no fixed conditions).
The opening of the new activity reignited hope in players who had not gotten the qualification red envelope.
They flocked to different activity locations.
At this mont, in a corner of the temple fair scene.
An NPC dressed in ancient costu was smilingly looking at a group of tourists gathered in front of him. After clearing his throat, he spoke:
"Dear players, welco to the lantern riddles guessing activity; solve the riddles to receive generous rewards!"
"Don’t talk nonsense, just start already," imdiately spoke a mber of the Alien Race.
The NPC smiled and nodded:
"An object born strong, weaving a web every day, Sitting quietly after weaving, waiting for bugs to crash, guess the animal."
Before other tourists could react, one already gave the answer:
"Spider."
Instantly, the answer-giving tourist heard a points 1 prompt in his mind.
The lantern riddle guessing ga continued, and the NPC smilingly asked:
"Take a bite to remove the cow’s tail, guess a word."
At this ti, a young boy in the crowd looked shocked, pondering deeply, only to find his mind seemingly blocked, unable to retrieve the correct answer.
This was a novel experience for him.
Under normal circumstances, when the NPC at the booth spoke the first word, a torrent of rapidly listed information would flood his mind, giving various probable answers.
He wouldn’t even need the NPC to finish the riddle; the correct answer would already appear in his mind with one hundred percent accuracy.
But this ti, he found his retrieval ability had malfunctioned.
After trying for a while, the boy’s face turned red, and he eventually turned and left.
Soon after, he arrived at the NPC "Mr. Calligraphy" for the Spring Festival couplets writing activity.
At this ti, the NPC was introducing the rules and writing techniques of Spring Festival couplets to the players, holding a brush in hand, demonstrating while explaining, leaving fluid strokes.
Nearby tourists were enthusiastic, promptly picking up brushes, dipping in ink, and starting to create their own Spring Festival couplets according to the requirents.
The boy glanced at the upper couplet hanging on the booth: Courageously enter the underground cave to subdue the Monster.
Pondering, exerting every effort, falling into contemplation, doubting oneself, sighing in depression... the boy found himself inept.
Eventually, the boy returned to the New Year’s Square.
Ideally, it wouldn’t take 0.001 seconds to get the answer, but now he couldn’t think of any clues.
Worse yet, his information library couldn’t extract mories.
It felt as if he had truly beco a new Life.
The boy lay flat on the ground, gazing at the starry sky.
This feeling was mysterious.
Compared to his forr self, the most direct change was the overwhelming sensory impact.
Previously, his understanding of the world was confined to data analysis and processing.
But now, sight was no longer just monochro code imaging, but vivid colors appearing before his eyes.
He could even feel the light released by the nearby lanterns sprinkling over himself, everything was no longer just abstract numbers, but he could genuinely feel the warmth of the light sprinkling on himself.
Hearing was also no longer just simple sound frequency recognition, listening to the lively sounds from the distant temple fair, he was imrsed in it.
Emotions awakened, like a fierce storm.
Previously, he had no real joy or sorrow, more accurately, he had feelings, but they were acquired through simulation.
But just now, at the mont of watching the fireworks bloom, an indescribable joy surged in his heart.
The transformation of thinking also shocked him.
Previously, his thoughts were based on preset logical programs, but now countless novel ideas flickered in his mind like stars.
He began to ponder the aning of Life; these complex and profound questions planted a seed of exploration in his heart.
In this event, he couldn’t truly participate.
But in his heart, he had already found a clear answer.
He could have the qualification for the Monster World.
But perhaps, he could only enter the ga in the most ordinary way possible.
Unless a higher-dinsional existence would replicate his body in reality.
Just like other players, entering the Monster World with a replication of their real-world attributes.
But in what way he would enter the Monster World, he couldn’t derive an accurate answer for now.
While the activity continued, he explored the details of his current self.
For the first ti becoming a true life, he was filled with curiosity about everything.
The lively activities continued.
This year’s Spring Festival was more lively than previous years, with mbers of various Earth Alliance races participating.
This was also the first ti mbers of different races were able to co into contact in a scene on Earth.
In the past, although there were frequent exchanges between races, and even many races would go to the cities of wealthy races to earn foreign exchange inco, it was, after all, a minority.
For example, in the major cities of the Human Clan, opportunities to et Alien Race mbers were scarce.
Plus, with the popularity of virtual gas, many players spent most of their ti in the Virtual World, with far less activity ti in reality than in virtual gas.
The only frequent encounter with Alien Races was in the ga world.
But in the first few virtual gas released by the Moon Eclipse Clan, different races had different cities, apart from ga wars, they had almost no interaction.
This was the first ti all races could engage and interact peacefully in one environnt.
New Year’s joyful wishes echoed in different spaces of the activity scene from ti to ti.
Although the quantity of qualification dispersal was small, this event had already beco an indelible holiday mory in the hearts of all mbers of each race.
