Chapter 363: Preview of the Great Wedding

Late at night on November 11, Gu Tingzhou and Zhao Yuxi arrived in Jujiang City. The Sky City had been built and according to the plan, it would be thrown into the river and float downstream to the junction of the Yangtze River and Dongting Lake. It was very close to the observatory of the King of Dongting Lake, so Zhao Yuxi decided to ask the King of the Lake to help move the Sky City.

The bottom of the Sky City is roughly a perfect circle with a radius of about 200 meters. The city is full of high walls, and if you look down from above and have good eyesight, you can see that the walls are arranged in seven different veins of snowflakes.

The snowflake in the middle is the largest, and its wall is the highest. The outline of the snowflakes piled up by the high wall is also the clearest and most delicate. The color of the wall is exactly the same as the pure white snow. This is the central snowflake tower.

There were only six people sitting on the top floor of the central snowflake tower, including the dean of the research institute, the dean of the academy of sciences, and four special spokespersons of the star master. Among the spokespersons, there were well-deserved strong men, stronger than the dean, stronger than Gu Tingzhou, but Zhao Yuxi did not invite them. She invited spokespersons who were not as strong as Gu Tingzhou, even those sitting on the top floor of the central snowflake tower.

The second-to-last floor of the central snowflake is still higher than the top floors of other snow towers. The vice president sits on this floor. Although their power is not great, Zhao Yuxi still puts these people in a very high position.

The central snowflake tower is surrounded by six towers, three of which are very short and closer to the castle, and no one sits in them. The other three towers are very tall and farther from the castle, and they belong to the ancient, medieval, and recent towers other than the dean and vice-dean.

The tower belonging to the ancients also has only two functional floors. The dean of the branch sits on the top floor, the executive sits on the second to last floor, and as for the professors in the academy of science, some sit on the top floor, and some sit on the floor below.

In the tower belonging to the medieval people, Xu Ying and Mu Zhengguang sat on the top floor. Zhao Yuxi separated these people according to the asymptotic rate, rather than by rank, just to allow the two to sit in a higher position.

If they were divided by rank, above them there were first and second level branch deans and first and second level executive officers. If they were divided by asymptotic rate, although there were middle-aged people with lower asymptotic rates than them, the positions of those middle-aged people would not be higher than theirs.

The towers belonging to the recent antiquity are the shortest and have the most people sitting inside.

On the ground without high walls, there are houses of all sizes. Some houses serve as shops, and shops are close to each other, leaving small paths, which can be called streets. If you ignore the high walls in the city and only look at the shops and roads on the ground, you will find that the sky city has certain similarities with a real city.

Gu Tingzhou and Zhao Yuxi climbed to the top of the central Snowflake Tower.

Gu Tingzhou unfolded the direction domain and controlled the direction of the wind, the direction of gravity, the direction of the river flow, and the direction of the sky city's operation.

Zhao Yuxi expanded her perception domain and used a rotating circular rainbow to cover the city on the water.

There are still many people in the city. Some are responsible for maintaining the stability of the city, some are responsible for keeping the city floating on the water, some provide power for the operation of the city, and some are waiting to arrive in Hujiang City to carry out final repairs, assembly and testing of the city.

Zhao Yuxi lowered the colorful curtain to obscure the outsiders' senses. She walked behind Gu Tingzhou and stretched out her arms to hug his neck: "I think I know the name of your asymptote. It's directional force, the force that can control the direction of everything, right?"

Gu Tingzhou gently clasped Zhao Yuxi's wrist with his right thumb and index finger, and the other three fingers slowly dropped from left to right: "Yes, but I can do more than just control the direction. The effect of my old line cannot be ignored."

"On December 12th, I will also be able to enter the fourth level. December 4th will be our wedding. At the same level and age as you, I will announce to the world that we are together."

Zhao Yuxi's birthday is December 12th. After they got their marriage certificate, Gu Tingzhou has firmly imprinted this date in his mind. Coincidentally, Zhao Yuxi is 6 days older than him, and Mu Zhengguang is 37 days older than Xu Ying, also 37 days apart. One is older and the other is younger, but both girls look more mature. In this kind of sister-brother relationship with a similar age difference, boys probably have the upper hand.

"Well, we are together. We watched each other realize their wishes, watched each other enter the fourth level, then the fifth level, and the sixth level..."

"Don't think about things that are too far away. You won't understand them even if you think about them." Although Zhao Yuxi hasn't reached the fourth level yet, she can see from Gu Tingzhou that the time it takes to go from the fourth level to the fifth level is about twice the time it takes to go from the third level to the fourth level, which is more than 2 months. Her asymptotic rate is greater than Gu Tingzhou's, and her level-up speed is slower than Gu Tingzhou's. It takes nearly 13 months to go from the fourth level to the fifth level.

In addition to the time gap, the space gap is also obvious. The domain radius of the third-order asymptote is not less than 1000 meters and less than 10000 meters. The domain radius of the fourth-order asymptote is not less than 10000 meters and less than 1000000 meters, that is, 1000 kilometers. The maximum and minimum differ by about 99 times. With a domain radius of 1000 kilometers, how magnificent human life and the human world would be at that time!

"Yes. Let's ask the dean to write a decree that all members of the Institute and the Academy of Sciences will have a holiday on December 12th."

"That day was Sunday, so it was a holiday."

Gu Tingzhou was a little embarrassed. It wasn't just today that he found out that their wedding was on December 12th, nor was it just today that he found out that the wedding was on the weekend, but he just happened to forget.

"Huh? I forgot."

"It's okay if you forget. We can continue writing the decree. On December 12th, all members of the Institute and the Academy of Sciences will have a day off. We can't let our affairs affect other people's vacations. I will make up for the missing day. No, this decree can be implemented nationwide, so that everyone can have a day off. We can also invite those people who were powerful and famous in the old times and let them fill the seats on the ground."

"Why invite them? Many people in the institute don't like to be in the same situation with those people."

In Gu Tingzhou's impression, most of his assistants are unwilling to deal with civilian forces. If it were not for their interests and hobbies, he himself would not want to meet those people.

"These people with special gifts and talents, these great figures who were once high and mighty, are all used to set off the ancients and the medievals. Our wedding is open to everyone, not the people in the institute or the academy, and certainly not the ancients and the medievals."

Gu Tingzhou was very suspicious of these words. Zhao Yuxi was not opposed to ordinary people in the old era, otherwise she would not have to take a huge risk to issue a dignity maintenance order. But Zhao Yuxi was seriously opposed to the extraordinary people in the old era, and they were incompatible. She invited these people to the wedding, it was impossible that she just invited them to set off.

"Are you going to ask them for gifts?"

Zhao Yuxi did want to ask those people for gifts, but not at the wedding. No rich person would bring 10% or 20% of their entire wealth to attend someone else's wedding. She wanted to ask those people for even more than 20%.

"Of course I will. The tower is cheap, it only cost a few billion. The mountain, trees, flowers, food, and staff salaries all cost money, which adds up to more than ten billion. The castle cost tens of billions. Sky City is more expensive, but it's also hundreds of billions, less than 100 billion. I can afford these, but after that I will have no money left."

One hundred billion? Zhao Yuxi spent one hundred billion on this wedding? Such a huge expense was within Gu Tingzhou's expectations. Although Zhao Yuxi had not told him the specific price, and although he had not asked, he did not dare to ask, and was embarrassed to ask, but he could calculate the approximate price.

He used an aircraft carrier to estimate the price of the sky city, and used the castle in the amusement park to estimate the price of the castle. Each would cost tens of billions, adding up to more than 1000 billion, and perhaps more than 1500 billion.

Surprisingly, she could actually afford the money? Moreover, judging from her tone, the money was not from the institute's account, but her own account? Was she too good at amassing money? She had only been the dean of the branch for half a year.

In addition, when she said "no money", she didn't mean that she had no money at all, but compared with her previous savings, there was not much money left. It might be tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions.

"Let's ask them for the gift money next year. For now, don't accept it this year."

"It's the same this year or next year. You said next year, so let's do it next year. I put these so-called 'big shots' on the ground, and let them look up at the high tower, the sky city, and us, so that they feel unfair, insignificant, and powerless. In contrast, the people sitting in the high tower and the sky city can look down on them, and from them and from their gazes, they can feel superior, satisfy their vanity, and regain a little dignity."

These words made sense, and Gu Tingzhou was looking forward to this scene, but he still felt that Zhao Yuxi's purpose was not as simple as she said. He couldn't figure it out, so he stopped asking and just quietly looked at the river and the lights on the riverside.

Zhao Yuxi leaned her head on his back and said, "Come with me to the school tomorrow. We can go to Youlong University or Shuimu University."

Gu Tingzhou lowered his head and asked, "Why these two schools?"

"There are many of our colleagues in these two schools. They received super high bonus points and entered universities that they could not have been admitted to before. I want to see what their campus life is like." "Relaxed, free, and casual." Gu Tingzhou believes that the school rules and regulations in high school campuses have been almost abolished, and the school rules and regulations in universities should be completely abolished. How many teachers dare to restrain the medieval and modern people? Moreover, these medieval and modern people are all adults, all in high positions and holding great power.

"This is just a guess, it may not be accurate. I want to go and see for myself, to ask questions, and to change some things."

"Change what?"

"Change the admissions method. They can get huge extra points to get into good universities and choose good majors, but those professional courses are not suitable for them, and they may not like those courses. It is a thankless task to remove them from the campus, but it is very easy to put others in."

"Let's wait until next year to change the admission method. We still have a lot to do this year. Investigate Paradise, your ten parks, and especially the Marriage Management Park that you have always wanted to make public. You cleared the school rules and arranged a marriage for Zhang Hengji to pave the way for the Marriage Management Park. You are just one step away."

The last step is the most difficult. To this day, Zhao Yuxi has not yet decided whether to announce the Marriage Management Park first or the Marriage Protection Order first. The Marriage Management Park has its own laws, but it can also implement the Marriage Protection Order. From this perspective, the Management Park should be announced first. However, the Management Park is an ancient organization outside the Institute, and the resistance to publicizing the Management Park is too great.

"Forget it, let's not consider other people's marriages for now, let's consider ours first. To ensure everything goes well, let's do a rehearsal first."

"it is good."

Sky City was getting closer and closer to Dongting Lake. At the junction with the lake, Sky City stopped and Zhao Yuxi left the city, but the circular rainbow was still spinning. She used the key to open the door of the courtyard. As soon as she pushed the door and walked into the courtyard, she saw the King of Dongting Lake coming back.

"Hey, hey, hey, Lin Suixuan, please help me transport the Sky City to the lake."

"You didn't invite me to your wedding, why should I help you?" Lin Suixuan pretended to be embarrassed and carefully expressed a little dissatisfaction: Transporting Sky City is not an excessive request, and it will happen even if I don't help. Since she asked, I will help her. But for some reason, I want to take the opportunity of helping her to get something from her, such as an invitation.

"That's because I didn't invite you because I thought that if you, Lord Lake King, came in person, it would completely overshadow the glory of Gu Tingzhou and me."

This statement is a bit exaggerated and not quite appropriate, but Zhao Yuxi's worry is not false: no matter what appearance you, the King of Dongting Lake, take, even if I can't recognize you, as long as I know you are coming, I will feel restrained.

"Okay, okay, I won't go. Come on, take me to the Sky City, and I'll help you transport the city to the lake."

Zhao Yuxi felt the affection from the King of Dongting Lake, which made her very confused: judging from the Star Lord's style of doing things, they should not have such strong emotions. Those who can express affection must be very rare exceptions, and Lin Suixuan is one of the exceptions. Why can she be an exception? Is it because I have realized my wish?

This inexplicable family affection troubled the King of Dongting Lake: Why can't I help but want to help her? Even if my help will affect the original process of things, I still want to do something for her.

The two walked into the rainbow and went straight to the top floor of the Snowflake Tower in the center of Sky City.

Gu Tingzhou was originally lying down. When he saw the two girls coming, he quickly supported his body with his arms and stood up.

"You don't have to get up, just keep lying down. Leave the rest to Lin Suixuan." After Zhao Yuxi finished speaking, she walked over to him and lay down.

Lin Suixuan looked at the two of them, feeling indescribable anticipation and relief in his heart.

The sky city left the water and floated up into the sky. The circular rainbow dissipated, and a pure black curtain covered the city. The city covered by darkness was hidden in the night sky and flew to the lakeside at a faster speed.

After arriving at the destination, the King of Dongting Lake left, but the Sky City remained suspended.

The staff in the city handed over to Gu Tingzhou. After Gu Tingzhou took back the asymptotic domain, the city was still suspended.

After daybreak, Zhao Yuxi and Gu Tingzhu arrived at Youlong City. Xie Yanqi was already waiting for Duoqi in the city. She prepared gold, silver and many pieces of turquoise metal sheets according to Dean Zhao Yuxi's instructions.

That morning, Zhao Yuxi used gold and silver as ink and metal as "paper" to write quickly and finished writing hundreds of invitations.

Gold pigments correspond to the ancients, and silver pigments correspond to the medieval ones. For invitations to the recent ancients, there is no need to write with a pen, just put a note on the metal plate, and colorful words will be left.

"At noon on November 11, you deliver the invitations here to the people in the main institute. Don't send them to the wrong people."

"Yes."

At noon, the two had lunch at Youlong University. In the afternoon, they got some key information from students: some students had never heard of dormitory inspections or meetings since the beginning of the semester, nor had they heard of roll calls or group activities in class. Some colleges cancelled military training, and some classes cancelled freshman dinners. Some teachers left a very valuable exercise in each class, saying that as long as you master this exercise, you can get a certain score in the final exam, which is a blatant leak of the questions.

It's not surprising, it's all within reason.

On November 11, the castle was renovated, and the tower and sky city had been inspected and could be used normally.

In the Snowflake Tower, all the rooms used to entertain guests have signs on their doors. Usually, one sign occupies one room, but there are exceptions. For example, there are two signs on the door of Ye Lianshi's room, his and Zhang Haochen's. Of course, his room is twice as big as others, which is as it should be.

Zhao Yuxi asked people to use something like clouds to transport food. In fact, there was ice hidden in the clouds, and the ice could be used as a plate or to support the plate.

The spiral staircase of the tower is also filled with signs. The sign with the parents' names is placed at the top of the tower.

Water flowed from the top of the tower to the bottom. Zhao Yuxi asked people to control the flow rate and direction of the water, so that the water would pass by the sign and deliver the wooden plates.

There were many dining tables covered with white cloths on the ground, with plates and candlesticks made of pure silver on the tables.

Zhao Yuxi had someone use a special fire to light clusters of candles like trees in an instant.

The starry night spreads out, candles are lit, water is flowing, clouds are swirling, and a glowing rainbow-like object hangs high in the sky.

From the sky, rays of rain hung down, and at first glance, they looked like light blue and light green vines and grass.

Soon, the night turned into day, and the sun and the moon shone together. The snowflakes on the tower became thinner, and the snow fell. The flowing water became silent, and the solid ice pressed on the tower like a heavy ribbon.

This is what the wedding banquet should look like when it ends.
