Isn't it beautiful to live stream Honmaru's retirement life after retirement?

Walking in the forest on the periphery of Wanwu Commercial Street, Xiaohua just looked over from a distance, and found that today's Wanwu Commercial Street is more lively than usual. The somewhat desolate outer areas were full of people coming and going, and everyone came out to gather and press the road like visiting a temple fair during the Chinese New Year.

After careful observation, it turns out that the merchants took advantage of this time and the government held the [God Judge Gardening Exchange Meeting] competition to carry out a big event. The new flagship of the beverage store launched a series of flower juice drinks, buy one get one free, and there was a long queue at the door The snack bar filled the window with small potted cakes shaped like succulent plants, allowing passers-by to see the small garden at a glance; The squeezed female Goddesses were full of bags; at the door of the small jewelry store, there were boxes of hair accessories made of fresh flowers...

Even the female god judges in groups of three or four on the street mostly wear flower patterns. ——Anyway, it’s all about gardening.

The so-called day when everyone agrees to hold activities is a festival.

This [Gardening Exchange Meeting for God-inspectors] was supposed to be a top-down gimmick by the time government to add daily fun to the god-inspectors. At first, like other small activities, there were not many participants, but after a few years, it was well received It got bigger and bigger, and the public spontaneously held a horticultural-themed shopping festival from bottom to top in the public place of Wanwu Commercial Street, which can be called a carnival for the whole people.

That's right, on weekdays, most of the god-inspectors come from a family behind closed doors, and lack of communication with the outside world, so such a large-scale competition led by the government has naturally become a veritable "exchange meeting".

"Look at this, this gothic vampire garden is so beautiful, I voted for this work early in the morning, how about you? Do you have any good works?" A young woman in furisode kimono with pansy pattern The judge, stretched out his mobile phone in front of his boyfriend and acted like a baby,

"Ah, I really want to build a small garden."

"You have so little spiritual power, you can grow enough food at ordinary times, and you want to grow flowers." The young man with a hakama pattern patted his girlfriend's head lightly with a folding fan.

"Let you not exercise your spiritual power well, do you regret it now?"

"Help me grow flowers! Give them to me when you grow them." The girl acted like a baby while tugging at her boyfriend's cuffs.

"Then what good am I?" The boy pretended not to be moved.

"Ah~ You don't even want to send me flowers? Hmph, I'll ignore you..." The girl ran away,

"Hey, be careful not to go so fast, I didn't say I didn't want to..." The boy caught up.

Xiaohua waited expressionlessly for the pair of close friends who were blocking her in front of her to throw dog food away from their fight, and continued walking, but she was attracted by the voice of another girl nearby after not taking two steps.

"Huh?! Sakura-chan, you are actually going to sign up for the competition!" The girl in the uniform of the Chinese student yelled in surprise, which attracted many people's attention, and immediately blushed and lowered her voice,

"It's good to keep the right to vote. After a few days, the upper circle will gradually become clear. Those in the upper circle will even give small gifts to solicit votes. You don't know. It is said that the third place last year was..."

"Don't talk about it, Yuejiang, I have already signed up, and the work has been submitted, so I don't have the right to vote." The girl with long flaxen braids and a European-style pastoral floral dress lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Although I also know that my award is just a dream... But I still want to participate, even if there are 100 people, no, if 50 people can see my work, I am already very satisfied..."

"Really, what's the number of your work? I'll vote for you." The girl in uniform took out her phone with a helpless expression,

"The price of advertising leaflets must have increased now, and you don't need to burn that money, but we can go to the forum to solicit votes, or make some leaflets to distribute here. It happens that there is a lot of traffic these days..."

"Yue-chan, you still have a way, thank you!"

"You're welcome, you have to think of ways to promote your own work..."

Xiaohua inadvertently listened to passers-by about this [Spirit Judgment Gardening Exchange Conference]. The man in the young couple complained about his girlfriend, "It's enough to grow food and I want to grow flowers" and said to the girl in student uniform just now. Those "high-ranking circle canvassing" and "burning money to advertise" made Xiaohua sigh again. Sure enough, as she guessed before, this competition wanted to gain both fame and fortune, and the cost was too great for ordinary public judges. Except for works The quality itself must be excellent, and you must try your best to advertise and solicit votes.

It is no longer a game for ordinary people, but a "confrontation" between predators.

In fact, Xiaohua had already guessed that there might be richer and richer contestants who would solicit votes by "gifting gifts" when she saw the advertisements that she received so many that her position would explode.

After all, it is an old-fashioned event that has been held for 23 sessions, and the rules have not been changed at all. For those who want to take shortcuts to win, there are naturally policies and countermeasures. A set of anonymous votes for anonymous entries has been developed long ago. The "reasonable cheating" method.

Although she has no shortage of small judges to advertise now, and even has a lot of financial and material resources to send small gifts to "bribe" canvassing, but what's the point of such a competition?Isn't bribery a self-denial of one's own work?

Xiaohua still feels that this kind of competition atmosphere is really too much.

The reason for signing up is the same as that of the passer-by girl just now. This competition still focuses on participation. It is already very interesting for someone to appreciate the small pavilion of Huaguofeng that I personally built. Of course, getting a ranking is a must. Let it go.

Arriving at the place agreed with Takeri, Takeri just arrived from the other side, still wearing the miko uniform that is convenient for movement, and wearing the white-clothed scarlet hakama that seems to be ready to go to the battlefield at any time to chant buffs for the men with swords.

"Yo Xiaohua, it's not bad, you have learned to restrain your spiritual power! Standing in front of you now, I feel that I can't test the depth of your spirituality at all, so amazing!" Zhuli walked up to Xiaohua, sizing her up and marveling at the same time,

"Is that book with unknown history really all right? What does it teach you?"

"It's okay, just teach me how to control spiritual power, understand formations and so on..." And that book with unknown origin was obviously handed to me by you!

Xiaohua held back her complaints, let Zhuli walk around herself, then pulled Zhuli up, and was about to queue up at the time converter.

"Let's not talk about these troublesome things that we can't figure out. Let's go back to my house right now. The lunch materials are all ready."

"Don't worry, don't rush, isn't there still an hour before lunch time?" Zhu Li grabbed Xiaohua and wanted to walk in the direction of B area.

"Don't you want to participate in the competition? You are here, I will accompany you to find out the enemy's situation during this time?"

"Enemy?" Xiao Hua looked blank.

"That's right, don't you usually even go to the anonymous forum of the God Judge? Half a month ago, there was a lot of discussion on the forum about this annual competition. The competition officially started yesterday, and Wanwu's side has already 'War' is on, let's go, go and see."

Zhuli took Xiaohua straight to the nearest Autumn Square in District C. On the way, he opened the forum of God Judge and glanced at it. The forum is also very lively at the moment, except for a large number of various canvassing advertisements as soon as it is refreshed. There are also many polling and discussion buildings simulated by good people.

When they arrived at the Autumn Plaza, the two saw that the flat plaza that could not be used for commercial use had been opened for the use of the god judges, and a variety of canvassing activities were being held at the temporary booths.

"Hey, there are so many people?! Are they all contestants this time?" Xiaohua looked around at various booths that looked like "voting votes". Gifts, some of them are judges who personally hold big speakers to give "speeches", it's so lively,

"Isn't there a reward for being the first?"

"Also over there, why is there a sign of 'Ultimate Goal: Top 100'?" Xiaohua originally thought that it was already exaggerated for the contestants to place overwhelming advertisements in everyone's main pill, and giving small gifts should also be What would only be done by a few local tyrants with good money, did not expect it to be such an "open" competition.

"Well... this is just the beginning, and the competition for the upper circle will come out in two days, and the competition will be more intense."

Although Zhuli was also shocked by the intense scene in front of her, she had done her homework in advance, so she immediately pretended to be calm and nodded, and analyzed with Xiaohua in a logical manner.

"Although the time government will not give rewards, those works that are selected into the upper circle can be used as advertisements to attract customers! The competition is only for one week, but after it is over, the whole autumn is the flower viewing season around this competition. .”

"It turns out that's the case. Everyone really has a business mind." Xiaohua nodded, thinking that Zhuli's analysis made sense.

After all, people don’t get up early because they don’t get up early, so they must pay so much for the sake of gaining. Before, she thought that everyone was willing to invest so much money and material resources to participate in this competition because of the only rare sword, Xiaolong Jingguang, or for "honor" ", now it seems that this is not the case, as expected, she was thinking too naively.

Capable and business-minded people have already made a small calculation, invest a certain amount of manpower and material resources to build a good garden, participate in the competition to achieve a suitable ranking range, and then use the established reputation to operate the garden for profit.

"Hello, you two are novice judges, so you are surprised? Actually, this happens every year here." On the outside of the square, a pastor dressed up with a banner of "Please support the work No. XXXX" stuck on his back and holding a stack of leaflets The man walked up to Xiaohua and Zhuli, greeted them warmly, and handed the leaflet in front of them. The leaflet printed on it was a well-regulated Western-style garden with a camellia theme.

"Let's see, vote for our XXXX now, and you can get a box of 1 sound transmission symbols. If two lovely ladies vote, I will give you an extra golden knife set..."

Xiao Hua just raised her hand and refused to say that she was also a contestant, but unexpectedly, a mocking voice from behind the pastor man interrupted his "passionate sales promotion".

"Pfft, one-time sound transmission talisman and knife outfit? Thanks to you, you can still give away these garbage?" The male god judge in a brown hunting suit with a winning headband on his head walked in front of Xiaohua and Zhuli,

"Looking at the faces and attires of the two of you, they are the examiners of our Eastern spiritual culture, right?"

"Yes." Zhuli saw that the other party was a colleague dressed in Shinto, and felt that he was indeed more friendly than a priest dressed as a Western psychic, so he let go of his guard and admitted the man's guess.

Xiaohua didn't make a sound, remembering that Ye Wang's cheap teacher was indeed in the shrine when he appeared on the stage, so she acquiesced to what Zhuli said.

"Hmph..." The pastor man glared at the man in hunting clothes, a little angrily retracted the flyer in his hand and walked away.

Xiaohua and Zhuli felt a little embarrassed as they watched the pastor walk away.

"Don't pay attention to him, they can't even afford to rent a booth in the square, and the gifts they give out are rubbish. They just deceive newcomers who come here every year who don't know how to do it." The man in hunting shrugged indifferently,

"I also saw that you are witches, and you are all colleagues, so I kindly reminded you. Tickets are very precious, so make good use of them."

"Well, thanks for the reminder."

Xiao Hua and Zhu Li just wanted to leave after thanking them, but they were immediately stopped by the man in hunting clothes, and they finally revealed their purpose.

"Don't worry, I won't force you to vote. Our boss is going to give a canvassing speech, so come and listen."

There was no way, the two could only follow the man in the hunting clothes to the square, turned around and walked to a larger booth. They said it was a booth, but it was arranged like a podium, and led the two of them to stand still. The man walked away and continued to "solicit customers", leaving Xiaohua and Zhuli to watch the canvassing speech in the audience.

The table was set up quite high, covered with posters of a large Japanese-style tea booth. The boss of the man in hunting clothes, a middle-aged man in a more gorgeous hunting suit, was talking on it with a microphone,

"Yes, everyone read that right! This is the ticket for our garden with the number XXXX in my hand! If it is fake, it will be exchanged!"

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)!" In a flash, the giant PPT screen behind the stage began to show the garden Photo,

"This is a lake. There is a bridge here. The lake alone covers an area of ​​8 acres... That's right, there are 10 small houses in a row here, all of which are individual tea pavilions. I also added a soundproof array to ensure that everyone Guests who come can enjoy the peaceful garden..."

,

"It's beautiful." "It's not bad, it's the scale." The audience in the audience also talked and praised the garden.

"I'm definitely not bragging. I think everyone knows that a garden of my size is definitely capable of entering the top 100..." The man in gorgeous hunting clothes continued eloquently,

"Yes, it seems that this scale does have the strength to enter the top 100." "The price of playing in the top 100 gardens is not low." The audience nodded repeatedly.

"So, I don't do those nonsense, everyone, look here! Yes, there is my own contact sign on this ticket! I hereby solemnly promise that as long as my work is finally shortlisted in the top 100, Wen Yue After the results of the competition on the 8th come out, as long as you hold this ticket and check the voting information, you can come to my garden to play!" The man in gorgeous hunting clothes finished speaking in one breath, and the audience in the audience did as he wished, "Oh Oooh" cheering applause.

"It's not over yet!" The man in gorgeous hunting clothes cheered for a while, controlled the rhythm and raised his hand to signal everyone to be calm, and then raised the volume again to announce,

"Anyone who votes immediately after receiving the tickets can get a stamp, which can be exchanged for an exquisite afternoon tea set worth [-] yuan!"

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!" The audience is even more excited than before, it's awesome! It's an event held by the government at this time, ordinary little judges like them can't make their own gardens, but as long as they plan reasonably By voting, you can also enjoy some high-end consumption that you usually can't afford for free. For a spiritual judge of their level, it is simply a fortune.

It can be regarded as the gods fighting, and the little ghosts enjoying the blessing.

The man in gorgeous hunting clothes signaled his younger brother to distribute the tickets, and the audience swarmed over, fearing that the tickets would be gone if it was too late, Xiaohua and Zhuli were almost dispersed by the crowd.

"Phew—it's too exaggerated. There are so many benefits, so I want to vote for him." Zhuli patted his chest and complained. It is really easy for people to vote on the spur of the moment in this environment.

"It has to be in the top 100 to be valid. Even if it is the 100th, how many votes do you need? Even if only one tenth of them get this ticket, it will be a loss for him to do so." Xiao Hua said Calm down, I made a rough calculation in my heart and found it unreliable.

"Isn't that just a blank check?" Zhuli also responded.

"Yeah." Xiaohua took Zhuli to take advantage of the chaos and hurried out of the way, not to mention the tickets, she didn't even look at the flyer,

"And there is no specific date printed on those tickets, so I suspect that even if they enter the top 100 by then, they may not immediately fulfill their promises, and they will find some excuses such as full reservations and push it again and again."

"It makes sense... Tsk, there are too many traps." Zhuli sighed, "I'd better vote for you. There really aren't so many advantages in the world to take advantage of."

The two followed the road back to the time converter, watched various canvassing activities along the way, and were stuffed with a hand of leaflets, and returned to Xiaohua's Honmaru on time around 12 o'clock.
