Chapter 378: Games (1/2)
”Wow, this is really beautiful,” Emily said as she entered the festival area. ”Look at all of those lights. It kind of reminds me of my first sect before I died.”
”Doesn't it? When I first entered my sect and it lit up just like this, I was reminded of the festival we had near our village too,” Alex said.
”Oh, so you are used to going to festivals like this?” Emily asked.
”Oh yes. They take place once every 3 months or so during the change of every season,” Alex said. ”My father sets up a stall every time to sell some of the homegrown products or find potential customers for a business deal.”
”I see. Then you must be quite used to these festivals. What should we do first?” she asked.
”Umm… let's just walk around and see what the stalls have,” Alex said and looked through the stalls from the start.
The stalls sold various different things from food to clothes to toys to anything. They came across a stall selling cotton candy.
”Do you want some?” he asked.
”Sure,” Emily said. Who didn't like cotton candy?
Alex paid for two large cotton candies and handed one to Emily. She took the blue one and left Alex with the pink one. They walked along with more stalls and tried different foods.
There was candy apple, some dumplings, sweets, fried noodles and many more.
”At this rate, I won't even need to eat anything later tonight,” Emily said.
”Me too,” Alex said and continued touring.
In another stall, Emily saw a bunch of different types of masks and wanted one. Alex got her a simple mask with a bunny face and ears. For himself, he got a mask that was fully white on the outside with no other design, but he could take it off and wear it inside out.
Once inside out, it would become a fully black mask. Essentially, he was wearing two masks at once. Thankfully, neither his nor Emily's mask obstructed any vision. He looked ahead and saw something that caught his eyes.
”Oh, those are up next,” he said.
”Hmm… what are those? People seem to be playing there. Are those games?” Emily asked.
”Yes,” Alex confirmed it.
”Oh wow, they have games too? Can we go play there?” Emily asked.
”Let's go somewhere first,” he grabbed Emily's hand and pulled her through the crowd. Alex had to search for it for a few moments before he found it. He came up to a machine that had a line of people standing in front of it.
Alex got on the line along with Emily.
When it was finally their turn, Alex said, ”Put your ticket in there.”
”Hmm… oh, ok,” she said and put in the ticket she got from winning bingo. Suddenly, the machine started spitting out small, connected papers, one after another.
”Wait, why are there so many?” she got a little overwhelmed.
”Didn't you get a 1000 points ticket? It will now shoot out 1000 points now,” Alex said. He helped her in gathering all those that had dropped on the ground.
