It was said to be a blind date, but in the end Lu Xi turned the "Snowless Festival" into a sports competition.
There is no other way. Young men and women in other worlds are really very different from those on Earth. On Earth, a blind date involves viewing a house, a car, a deposit, checking height, weight and appearance, going on dates, eating, and watching movies on a loop. After a few months, you finally say "no". .
Dating between men and women in different worlds is extremely simple. At first glance, they are physically strong, and at second glance, they look decent. After looking at each other for a while, they feel that the other person cannot find any physical faults, and they become a couple.
It's not that he doesn't pay attention to property, but when he survives outside dangerous human towns and faces possible threats from monsters at any time, he cannot take away things like his house. Only a strong body is his eternal wealth.
A strong body means that you will not get sick easily, it means you can plant more and harvest more food, it means you can hunt more ordinary monsters...
So basically at a glance, this group of single men and women on a blind date will know what their goal is, and it only takes an hour or two to achieve it.
Lu Xi was not going to hold a large-scale "Snowless Festival" with hundreds of people, but it ended in half a day.
She plans to hold a grand celebration for everyone that will last for at least half a month based on the characteristic that the longer the "Snowless Festival" is held, the better its meaning.
It just so happens that when men and women in different worlds date each other, they care about their physical health. So what else can show physical strength better than sports competition? !
After hearing Miss Lucy's arrangement, Bertem, who was working as a conscientious deputy city lord in Crook Town, insisted on joining in.
Oh, he wasn't here for a blind date, it's just that Miss Lucy put so much effort into organizing such a large-scale event, it wouldn't be a pity if he missed it.
What are the city master's chores, and what is more important, helping Miss Lucy organize the "Snowless Festival". A few months have passed, and the town of Crook has returned to normal. There are only some less important things that require Bethem to make the decision. It’s not a hassle to take half a month to come.
The most you can do is send a few more teams and work diligently to get to and from Crook Town and Lingnan Farm. If it's really urgent, you can also use the elemental magic circle or elemental magic weapon for communication. Anyway, there is no shortage of either.
It happened that there were hundreds of kilometers of ice surrounding Lingnan Farm, which would not melt in a short period of time, and was solid and stable, so Lu Xi started a lot of ice sports.
Like ice skating racing, the audience is not very large, and no one understands that there is anything worthwhile about competing against someone running faster on the ice, so after collecting some opinions, Lu Xi changed it to an ice obstacle race.
In addition to the various obstacles provided by the venue, the contestants are also supported to mess with each other and attack their opponents, which makes the viewing experience immediately increase.
Everyone was surprised, but Lu Xi felt that the normal result was that an unassuming half-year-old boy won the championship.
When everyone was holding each other back, this young man secretly hid it from everyone and reached the finish line first.
Lu Xi shook his head and sighed, people from other worlds are still too simple.
The most lively sport in the audience, that is, the most popular sport, is ice hockey. This is a sport that can be reasonably fought on the playing field! ! !
Lu Xi didn't know much about the rules of ice hockey, but he had heard some things. For example, players could fight on the field...
Well, Lu Xi actually just went to listen to the fight. He only vaguely remembered that the ice hockey game had two goals that were similar to football. Each player had a golf club and an ice hockey puck. The main purpose was to hit the ball into the goal.
As for the other rules, Lu Xi doesn’t understand them anyway, and neither do the people from the other world. Everyone can just come as they please. No one can understand them if they talk too much.
Therefore, the rules set by Lu Xi are very simple. First, the puck cannot leave the ice and cannot hit the ball. You must know that people in other worlds are much stronger than people on earth. If the puck really flies and hits someone accidentally, something will definitely happen. Yes, and there are many people watching, so people have to restrain their strength.
Second... well, there is no second. Anyway, they are just clashing with each other. You can use various methods to hit your opponent. If you feel that the opponent is too much, you can also apply for a 1v1 battle. This is the original rule of ice hockey.
All in all, the hockey game was a huge hit.
Men's team, women's team, and mixed team, the divided ice hockey rink is almost never empty. Even the children's team has formed several teams to compete back and forth.
While Lu Xi was eye-opening, he had to add multiple ice hockey arenas so that everyone could have a venue to participate in the competition.
What's even more lively is the low-level elemental warrior group. Originally, there were forty elemental warrior guards in Lingbo Farm. Lu Xi previously allocated half of them to escort the goods. Later, Betem stabilized Crook Town and the manpower was reduced from Crook Town is out.
When Bertem returned to Lingyan Farm, he also brought a team of dozens of elemental warriors, totaling more than a hundred people. Watching the ice hockey game, many people were interested.
So the ice hockey games between low-level elemental warriors started again.
The viewing angle is much better than that of ordinary people, especially in competitions that allow the use of elemental power - elemental warriors with the fire element attribute are excluded.
There was nothing they could do. As soon as the fire-attributed elemental warriors exerted their strength, the playing field immediately began to melt... They could only feel aggrieved, and the most they could do was participate in a competition where the use of elemental power was not allowed.
In addition to this, there is curling waiting for Lu Xi to remember, but he can only remember half of the magic modified competitions.
For the sake of beauty, Lu Xi also selected dozens of strong men and women to rehearse an ice dance - the kind of dance that has a very heroic temperament with wide open and close movements.
Similar to Mongolian dance, Lu Xi didn't have the talent to dance, nor could she rehearse songs and dances, but she had someone under her and asked for it, and Bethem immediately found a candidate.
I don’t know where Bethem found the talent. Even if it was a request like Lu Xi’s that was completely contrary to the mainstream, he could successfully complete it without saying a word.
Later, Lu Xi realized that the preferences and requirements of most nobles were actually contrary to the mainstream, so "maverick" became another label for nobles.
Lu Xi thought she had gone too far, but she didn't know that in the eyes of some nobles, what she did was worse than playing house.
As for music, Lu Xi went to ask the residents of Lingxuan Farm...classmate Peter who had been helping Lu Xi with his tasks conscientiously.
Ignoring classmate Peter's gaze on someone who wanted to "shark" someone, Lu Xi got good news. Her side mission was finally completed.
So Lu Xi gave the task to classmate Peter to compose a piece of music to match the dance, and the result was quite amazing.
Even Lu Xi, who had been baptized by all kinds of music on the earth, felt amazed for a moment. The passionate music can stir up the blood in people's hearts from the bottom of their hearts.
Coupled with the dancing, Lu Xi even felt like he could lead his "army" to fight at any time.
Bertem even applied directly to Miss Lucy for the "copyright" of the song and dance, and decided to use it for the "Ice Festival" in Crook Town a few months later.
By the way, Lu Xi also gave Bertem the piece of music required by the mission that Peter had finished at the same time. This piece of music required by the game system sounded a bit like soothing music, which sounded very comfortable.
Lu Xi has been listening to the sleep music for a week, and she falls asleep every time she listens to it halfway through. The effect is full... Until now, she has not heard what the second half of the song is.
In addition to the ice competition, Lu Xi also did some interesting and interactive activities. After all, the theme this time was "blind date."
It's like a "borrowing thing race", in which you add a few conditions of "people of the opposite sex you think are strong", "people you think are beautiful", "people you are very interested in"... It can also test everyone's abilities. Literacy progress.
A children's version of the "treasure hunt game" is opened at the same time. Put various notes with gifts and prizes into guarded boxes, or simply hide them in various corners for others to find.
After you find it, answer the questions. If you answer correctly, you can use what is written on the note to receive the reward.
Lu Xi specially asked Bertem to bring a lot of paper and pens as prizes for the children. The prizes were quite popular.
The last few days of the Snowless Festival were even more lively. After a few days of not knowing what to do in the early days, in the last few days, basically everyone would choose the projects they could participate in and participate in the event.
Lu Xi was in a place far away from the competition venue, but could still see the high platform there, admiring the lively scene alone.
Xiao Yuan likes humans the most. This kind of competition where everyone is happy and lively is simply heaven to it. Everyone knows that Xiao Yuan is Miss Lucy's magic pet, and they are more willing to give Xiao Yuan a smile.
"Miss Lucy, are you still thinking about the New Year?" Xiuge approached from behind Lu Xi. Compared with others, Xiuge remembered what he said to Miss Lucy more clearly.
Others only thought that Miss Lucy might have said something wrong, but Shuge could understand that it was something that others did not understand.
It is a "treasure" that only Miss Lucy knows about.
"Yes." Lu Xi admitted generously. The more she looked at the joy in front of her, the more she missed her past.
Relatives and friends.
"What is year? Miss Lucy, can you tell me?" Shuge showed pure curiosity, not to comfort Miss Lucy, but to have some curiosity about what Miss Lucy knew.
It was as if he had noticed that Miss Lucy was not just Miss Lucy.
"Nian... Nian is just a saying. It is said that it was because Nian was a monster in the beginning." Lu Xi thought for a while and told the story of Nian in words that Xiuge could understand.
"... Nian is afraid of the color red and loud noises, so every time Nian comes out, every household will put up red paper with writing on it and set off firecrackers and fireworks."
"Chinese New Year means that the old year has passed and the New Year has arrived, which means that everything has a new beginning."
Lu Xi's voice became softer and softer, becoming more and more wafting in the wind.
"...it also represents the return home of a wanderer who has traveled far away."
What she misses is not the Chinese New Year, but the only time she has a reason to get away from the heavy work and return home to reunite with her relatives.
Shuge could see the longing for "home", and he had no way to comfort her, so he just stood behind Miss Lucy and accompanied her silently.
The "Snowless Festival" lasted for twenty-one days before it came to an end with great fanfare.
There were a total of sixty-three couples, which was already a large proportion.
And having so many families brings a new benefit - everyone is more motivated to build a house and obtain their own independent residence.
At present, there are more than 700 villagers in Xinwa Village living in Datongpu, a large kang with wooden boards in the middle, where dozens of people can sleep.
Not to mention young couples living together, even children of different genders can only be placed separately in the children's room, under the supervision of a strong old man who is older but more capable of doing things.
For example, for couples who have been married for many years, it is okay to sleep separately, but it is the time when newly married couples are curious about each other, and it is too inconvenient not to live together.
So Lu Xi discovered that there had suddenly been a sudden increase in applications for building separate houses - the buildings in Xinwa Village were all planned uniformly, and you could not build houses without permission.
So Lu Xi thought about it and decided to open up private house building permissions to them. It happened that they couldn't farm this year, so he found something to do for them.
Not only couples, but everyone who has the ability can apply to build an independent house.
The requirement is that you must pass the "literacy class" exam!
Originally, Lu Xi wanted to get some loan houses or something, but later she found out that the entire Xinwa Village belonged to her, and the villagers in Xinwa Village also belonged to her, so there was no need to do anything extra.
It would be better to take a few tests to help everyone increase their motivation for literacy.
At the same time, Lu Xi has opened a "Contribution Award", and villagers in Xinwa Village with outstanding performance can also be qualified to build houses.
If you are already qualified, you can change it to other rewards, such as food, clothing or money. Anyway, they are all useful things.
Although paper honors and verbal honors are good, the benefits obtained are more important.
When the villagers in Xinwa Village began to build their own small houses, Lu Xi also led his small team to start researching allicin.
And after the basic test - it comes from some people who play too much ice hockey and inevitably catch a cold.
I tested the effect of allicin and found that it is definitely not as effective as holy water and not as effective as cold medicine, but it is still effective and can indeed help people recover faster.
At the same time, Lu Xi also found the seeds of "ginger" during this period. Ginger is as good as garlic. Taking a bite when it is cold can warm the body and prevent colds.
At the same time, it also has many curative effects, and it is a type of traditional Chinese medicine. It does not matter if there are no traditional Chinese medicines in other worlds, as long as Lu Xi gradually popularizes them.
Moreover, ginger is also delicious when used for cooking. It is very effective in removing fishy smell from meat. It can also be made into ginger candies and other things for children to eat to enhance their immunity.
By the time Lu Xi received Cross' report that more than a dozen female villagers were pregnant, another half a year had passed.
It is indeed too difficult to double open.
Yesterday I worked on another book setting all afternoon, so I didn’t have time to update this one tonight.
I don’t have any royalties for this book anymore, so persisting in finishing it is my final goal.
