Walk around the United States with the earth in your arms

In the game list, the first place is undoubtedly "Spit Bubbles". .

The name sounds silly and boring.

However, it is the most popular game. Countless tourists are crazy about this game and queue up in circles every day.

On the first day of the carnival, only twenty tourists tried this game. They charged one dollar for each game. The Magic Company earned a total of twenty dollars, which was not enough to sell lunch boxes to the employees watching the show.

On the fifth day, that number climbed to five hundred dollars.

During the last three days of the Magic Carnival trip to New York, this game alone could earn Magic Company fifty thousand US dollars in one day!

It's also very simple to play. The game booth provides a plum-flavored soda. After drinking a small cup, you can spit out sound waves similar to dolphin sonar, but much more powerful than sonar sound waves. The duration is between ten and twenty seconds. The specific time depends on the time. It’s related to people’s constitution.

After drinking the drink, the player must stand outside the red line and use the sound waves to hit the balloons on the opposite wall. The more hits, the higher the score and the better prizes they can get.

To put it bluntly, it is a transformation of a gun hitting a balloon. There is nothing to say about the gameplay.

The main thing that attracts tourists is the magical drink, which is sour and sweet. Well, that's not the point. The point is, why can you create sound waves after drinking it?

People are puzzled by this.

The media reported this and attracted public discussion. Some public and private institutions also analyzed the samples, but found nothing of value. Some people thought that Charles Xavier, the owner of Magic Transformation Company, invested in a certain laboratory to make a fuss and accuse Magic Transformation Company of conducting human experiments. As a result, this voice disappeared inexplicably not long after.

There is no evidence that this drink is harmful to humans. Sound waves can only be emitted within a short period of ten seconds after drinking the drink. After that, no matter how hard the visitor tries, it is impossible to spit out another sound wave.

After all this fuss, there was only one result, and that was that the game of popping bubbles became even more popular.

The tourists queued up in circles, drinking one cup after another. In the end, the main point of the competition was to see who could hold on the longest, spit out the loudest sound waves, and who could spit out flowers.

"Haha, this is simply a super power!"

"I felt like I turned into a dolphin."

This is what the tourists said when interviewed by reporters.

All kinds of news were conveyed through various channels, making friends in Massachusetts anxious and looking forward to the arrival of the carnival, especially wanting to experience various activities including this game.

Especially young people, they especially want to know, are these games really as magical as the rumors say?

Peter Brown, an ordinary construction engineer, is forty-three years old and has three children.

Through personal efforts, his strength has been recognized by his boss, and he is highly relied on by his boss, and he can get a generous salary every month. But the price is that the work is very busy and there is no personal time. His wife is unemployed and takes care of three children at home, so the burden of the whole family's life falls on his shoulders alone, but he cannot relax.

Peter was proud of himself. In his mind, he provided for his family and fulfilled his responsibilities as a man. His wife would do the rest.

But he didn't know when he started to feel more and more distant from his family.

Especially the eldest daughter Jenny, who is sixteen years old, locks herself in her room every day and doesn't know what she is doing. Whenever her mother calls her down for dinner, she will complain a lot, which makes the house a mess.

Jenny was even more indifferent to Peter. Excluding the time when they eat at the same dining table, the total time the father and daughter spend face-to-face every day is less than five minutes. Four of these minutes are spent by the daughter looking coldly at her father, and the remaining minute is when Peter asks her what's wrong. My daughter replied, "I want you to take care of it."

Peter was confused, so he asked his wife, only to receive a look from her that was as important as his daughter's. It turns out that on the one hand, the wife complained that her daughter had become inconsiderate, and on the other hand, she complained that he only cared about work and ignored the family. Peter, who looked confused, wanted to ask more questions, but his wife had already left and went to wash clothes, cook and tutor the other two younger children.

All this made Peter feel confused and aggrieved: This family is supported by me, why do I seem to be a transparent person in this family?

Could it be that in their eyes, I am just a cash machine with no affection?

That night, Peter rarely got off work early and sat down exhaustedly on the sofa in the living room at home, smoking. His wife came over and severely criticized him for smoking at home, which would affect the health of his children. The falling ash would burn the carpet or sofa, and she didn't care how tired he was.

Peter was very angry. The two quarreled and then broke up. Peter stormed out of the house and relaxed in the backyard.

As the anger gradually dissipated, Peter felt like he heard a low sob.

Following the sound, Peter suddenly discovered that it was his eight-year-old second son Sam who was hiding in the garage and crying secretly.

Peter walked over and asked what happened.

Sam's face turned red when he was caught crying secretly, and he couldn't even say it was nothing.

In the past, Peter would have not had the patience to continue asking. He is very busy and has no time to waste time on such trivial matters. Just leave the child to your wife, wait until he is done with his work, and then find out what happened from his wife.

But just now, his wife yelled at him, "These three children are just like me." This made him very unfair.

So he sat down and asked Sam patiently. The little boy struggled for a while, and finally hesitantly told the reason: It turned out that tomorrow was the weekend, and he wanted to go to the Magic Carnival, but he was too young, and the carnival stipulated that he must be accompanied by his parents.

"Mom said she was very busy and didn't have time, so she asked Jenny to accompany me. But Jenny was unwilling and said I was in the way."

The little boy said he was very depressed.

Then, quietly, he looked at his father with hopeful eyes.

"What carnival?" Peter said without thinking, "If you don't want to go, don't go. What's the big deal."

"But……"

"But what?" Peter asked, but he didn't actually care about the answer, because he didn't leave any time for Sam, so he smiled to himself, "We are men, we can't shed tears over such a trivial matter. If you really want to go, wait Dad will take you there when you have time."

"..."

Little Sam was silent.

He wanted to tell his father that the Magic Carnival would only stay in the same city for half a month. The carnival will be gone by next weekend.
