Chapter 377 Image Broken
The next day.
Uptown port.
"Has this shipment been inspected?"
Seweka stood on a cargo ship, looked at the cargo in front of her with a cold face, and asked aloud.
"The inspection is over, there are no problems, they are all top quality."
The captain standing next to him immediately replied.
"Old rules, send someone to the lower city." Sevika casually threw out a bulging money bag, "You distribute the money yourself."
The captain quickly stretched out his hand to take it, and the heavy weight made him smile: "Okay."
After handling the matters at the port, Sevika left here.
Because the route is remote, she needs to pass through the upper city to return to the lower city.
Walking on the streets of the upper city for the first time in a long time, Sevika found that the place was really changing every day, some buildings had been renovated, and there was an unpleasant vitality everywhere.
In the newspaper shop on the street, the shop owner is shouting: "Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, the new issue of the newspaper has been published! The performance of Jian Alem is scheduled to be in Times Square at six o'clock in the evening two days later. The performance tickets It is on sale in advance, and the detailed booking information is in the newspaper. If you are interested, buy it quickly!”
There are also recent issues of newspapers hanging on the wall of the store, as well as an eye-catching poster. On the poster is the recently famous band Gaen Alem.
Servica was not interested in going up to the city, so she just glanced at it briefly, but stopped in the next second.
Then, she took another look, walked towards the newspaper store, stopped in front of the poster on the wall, and frowned a little bit.
The poster uses a painting method, depicting the scene of the five-member band performing.
Sevika's attention focused on the blue-haired girl behind her on the right. She felt very familiar, and no matter how she looked, she could only think of one person.
At this time, the newspaper shop owner saw that Sevika was attracted by the poster, and greeted him enthusiastically: "Sir, it seems that you are also interested in Jian Alem. If you want to see their next performance, come and buy it." Get a newspaper, it will tell you how to buy tickets."
"What is Gaen Alem?" Sevika asked with a frown.
She remembered that this word was related to Janna of Zaun, but she didn't believe it, but after all, it was something from the lower city, why was it taken away by the upper city?
"It's the most popular band recently. Its members are five young and beautiful girls. They are very talented and their songs are very good."
The newspaper store owner strongly praised it.
Hearing this, Sevika thought thoughtfully for a moment: "Get a newspaper. And this poster. I want to take it. How much does it cost?"
"This is a hand-drawn version, and together with the newspaper, it's at least this amount."
The newspaper store owner pretended to think for a moment, then raised two fingers.
Seeing this, Seweka didn't hesitate. She took out two gold coins and threw them to the shop owner.
"Okay, you can just tear off the poster." The shop owner took out a newspaper and handed it to her with a smile on his face.
After getting the newspaper and tearing off the poster on the wall, Sevika walked away directly, her steps a little more hurried.
After she left, the store owner quickly put a new poster on the wall and continued shouting.
after a while.
Downtown area.
Sevika quickly found Hilko, and then slapped the newspapers and posters she bought in front of him: "I think you are very interested in taking a look at this."
Hilko didn't mind Sevika's recklessness, and his expression looked calm: "I remember they don't sell newspapers in the lower town."
Xiacheng also tried to sell it, but not many people bought it. For most people, what else can they do with it besides wiping their butts?
Sevika sneered inexplicably: "Aren't you very curious about what that blue-haired girl has done recently? After reading this, you will get the answer."
Hearing this, Hilko frowned slightly. At this moment, his eyes fell on the poster, and he was stunned for a moment.
Compared with Sevika who had to check again and again, he didn't need to confirm.
Because he recognized Jinx on the poster at a glance.
So at this moment, he was still a little confused.
He couldn't help but reach out and pick up the poster, looked at it again and asked, "What is this?"
"It is said to be a band from Uptown." Sevika hugged her arms and snorted coldly: "She is having a blast playing with the people from Uptown right now. I'm afraid she has forgotten about us a long time ago."
Hilko didn't speak this time, just frowned slightly and looked at Jinx sitting behind the drum set on the poster.
During this time, it turned out that she went uptown and joined a band?
From what I know about her, it doesn't seem like that girl likes Shangcheng, let alone that she is still having fun in Shangcheng.
So, what happened during this time?
Hilko couldn't think of an answer. He thought it might be better to ask Jinx directly.
But if she wanted to say something, she wouldn't have hidden anything when she came back last time.
This quickly made another word flash in Hilko's mind.
Rebellion period.
It is said that people at this stage can be very rebellious.
But if she thought about it carefully, Hilko remembered that she didn't control her very harshly.
So where does the rebellion come from?
At this time, Hilko was a little confused and puzzled.
Then, his eyes fell on the name of the band Jian Alem, and he felt that he might need to know more about this band to understand the situation.
"Go and investigate this band, and follow the above method to get two tickets."
Hilko put down the poster and ordered to Sevika.
"Understood." Sevika nodded, then turned and left.
Silko was left alone, lost in thought.
In a blink of an eye, it’s the day of the band’s performance.
As dusk approaches, the entire sky is also reflected in the color of sunset, which gently falls from the horizon, telling that the day is about to pass.
However, this did not affect Pi City at this moment. On the contrary, as the performance time approached, the atmosphere in the city also entered a heated state.
A band that suddenly appeared in the air has been able to arouse the emotions of many people in such a short period of time.
The address of the band's performance was changed from Stellar Plaza to the larger and more spacious Times Square, which can accommodate up to 35,000 people at the same time.
The streets around Times Square are also more open, and many people can also participate in the concert outside.
Many people have already guessed the background of the band Jian Arem.
After all, this is a band that can bring in several congressmen and nobles on the first day of their performance.
At this time, there was still a little time before the performance started, but a large number of people had already gathered in the square.
The shops and roadside stalls in the surrounding streets have also begun to sell the band's peripheral products, and the sales are very hot.
Just one band directly boosted the overall revenue of the surrounding street shops.
At this time, Pi City looked even more lively than during the day.
Silko and Sevika walked on the street and looked around, both of them quite unfamiliar with this extremely lively environment.
It’s unimaginable that this was caused by a band.
And there are quite a lot of people. Even on the spacious streets, you can pass by hundreds of people every minute.
It's obviously winter, but walking on the street, you can't feel the coldness at all because of the crowds.
“Jan Alem’s co-branded support stick, first come first served, come and buy it quickly!”
A loud shouting on the street attracted Hilko's attention. He looked over and found that there were people surrounding him.
So he became a little curious about the support stick. After approaching it, there happened to be a vacant spot.
Then he saw what looked like glow sticks placed on the stall in front of him.
"It's co-signed by the band members. Buy one for the band member you support. Of course, you can also buy them all."
The stall owner introduced enthusiastically, "Currently the quantity is limited, one piece costs two gold, first come first served!"
Hilko noticed that these cheering sticks did have five different names engraved on them. At the same time, he also saw a cheering stick with 'Jinx' engraved on it.
Hilko took out two gold coins from his pocket, handed them to the stall owner, then picked up the cheering stick and left the stall.
He lit up the glow stick, and as a flash of blue light lit up, he saw the name 'Jinx' also lit up.
"Isn't this just a glow stick?" Servica glanced at it and said disdainfully, "You also fell for the IQ tax imposed by the people from the city."
"It's just a little money."
Hilko smiled lightly and didn't care.
The two continued walking towards Times Square. It was not difficult to investigate the matter of Garn Alem. They learned that this was a phenomenal band in Piltover.
After the first performance, it became a hit in Pi City, and the second performance attracted countless people to watch. Now, in order to maintain the continuity of the scene, a ticket sales model has been adopted, but countless people are still willing to buy it.
In just one day, tens of thousands of tickets were sold out.
If they hadn't used some connections, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to get the tickets in the back row.
Soon, the two arrived at the entrance of Times Square. There were special people here to check the tickets. Only those who passed the check could enter.
No one feels inappropriate about such a rule.
After all, without order, everything will eventually be ruined.
After confirming that the tickets were correct, the two were allowed to enter.
Times Square is also divided into different areas, the special area, the front row area, the middle row area, and the back row area. The two are in the back row area.
So he leaned towards the back row. Although he was in the back row, the view was surprisingly good. Hilko could see the stage directly.
At this time, Times Square was filled with densely packed people. At first glance, the crowds were surging.
There was constant buzz of discussion, and even Hilko and Sevika rarely saw such scenes.
"I have to say that the people of Piltover are indeed quite leisurely." Sevika stood next to Silko with her arms crossed, sarcastically saying: "You are still willing to pay money to watch such a meaningless performance and gain a lot of IQ Tax."
Hilko agreed with this statement and said: "The biggest shortage in Piltover is rich fools, so the wealth in their hands often flows into the market in other ways."
At this time, neither of them thought there was anything exciting about this so-called concert.
But these Picheng guys still like this.
There was only a little time left before the performance started, and the sky was getting dark, but the place was not dark at all.
"Buzz"
As a blind tone suddenly sounded, the scene suddenly fell into silence.
Then, the curtain on the stage opened, and the five members of the band appeared on the stage.
The next second, enthusiastic cheers broke out, and the scene seemed to be boiling. The noisy movement made Sevika frown.
At this moment, Hilko's eyes were fixed on Jinx on the stage.
Now I am 100% sure that it is indeed her.
Seeing Jinx spinning two percussion sticks in her hands with a smile on her lips, Hilko always felt a little strange.
Recently, it seems that I don't know a lot about her.
He really didn't expect that Jinx would be one of the five people who caused such a phenomenal scene in Piltover.
At this time, Seraphine adjusted the microphone on the stage, and then said with a smile: "Thank you everyone for your support. The performance will start soon. I hope everyone likes today's song!"
Accompanied by enthusiastic cheers, the percussion stick rotating in Jinx's hand suddenly stagnated, then suddenly fell down and hit the drum.
As she struck in an instant, a burst of rhythmic drum sound spread out. The next second, all the music played together, igniting the atmosphere of the scene in an instant.
Even Hilko and Sevika only felt goosebumps on their bodies.
I have to say that the accompaniment alone is indeed of a very high standard.
Then, as the lead singer spoke, the light and melodious singing echoed over Times Square.
Countless cheering sticks were raised from the crowd, clapping and waving to the rhythm of the singing.
This kind of scene looks quite spectacular.
For a moment, both Hilko and Sevika felt that the noise in their ears disappeared, even though the surrounding sounds still did not stop.
But they were immersed in the song without realizing it.
Sevika quickly came to her senses and realized that she was a person without musical abilities. She usually doesn't like to listen to fancy songs, and she hates Pi City deeply, so she just curled her lips at the moment.
"I think that's it, don't you think?"
She looked at Hilko next to her, only to find that this guy was waving the damn light stick without any care at all.
"What are you doing?"
Sevika asked in disbelief.
I just felt that Hilko's usual image was a little broken at this moment.
Hilko's movements stiffened for a moment. He put down his raised hand without saying a word, and then said calmly: "Since we are here, we naturally have to blend into the atmosphere."
Sevika snorted coldly: "Aren't you here to observe that blue-haired girl? What are you doing to blend into the atmosphere?"
"I've been observing."
Hilko replied that he found that the band's songs were indeed good.
No wonder so many people in Pi City like it, he just listened to it for a short while and almost got immersed in it.
At this time, his eyes fell on the figure behind the drum set on the stage.
The smile on Jinx's face was familiar to him. But in those eyes, there was a brilliance that he had never seen before, shining like bright stars.
It was a kind of happiness that he had never seen her express before.
