Chapter 17: A Wonderful Journey into the Boring Universe

"Sounds like our boring universe is really opening up!" I told my colleagues excitedly that I felt like I was preparing for a big celebration.

"Of course! I'm ready for my boring role!" Xiao Zhang said proudly, holding a pile of seemingly useless materials in his hand. "I would play the boring office worker who never talks, just works in silence." He chuckled as he spoke, as if he could already foresee his own performance on stage.

"Then you must bring a boring accessory, like an expired file pressed on the desk!" Xiao Li could not help teasing, and everyone laughed wildly again.

"I have an idea, too." I interjected, thinking about my role. "I can pretend to be a boring narrator, reading tedious statistics until the audience falls asleep!" When we heard it, we clapped and agreed in unison, as if we were already looking forward to my performance.

Not to be outdone, the alien chimed in: "Your 'boring characters' are certainly interesting, but can you make them clash in a boring story?" He smiled mischievously, as if to suggest a bigger challenge.

"This is... That sounds great!" "We need to design a storyline that reflects the boring contradictions of these characters. I think it's not just boredom, it's the drama of boredom!" The atmosphere suddenly heated up and people began to come up with more boredom related ideas in anticipation of the upcoming party.

"Remember, Li, boredom is our worst enemy!" I looked at him half-jokingly, full of anticipation for the party to come. "So, find a way to create a very boring scene!"

"No problem, I won't let you down! My character will be a rigid postman who delivers boring emails at parties!" Xiao Li's face is serious, everyone laughs, seems to have fully into their roles.

"Wow, the postman is amazing! Your email should be full of boring stuff." I joked, thinking how hilarious his performance would be.

"Xiao Zhang, are you ready?" I looked up and shouted at him. He is focused on adding more boredom to the "boredom bottle," which is already filled with colorful notes. "I think we could add a little bit of a 'boring guide', like a long recipe for bitter guts!"

"I totally agree! I'm going to put a huge label on the outside of the bottle that says, 'Be careful, you'll get bored when you open it!'" Xiao Zhang smiled triumphantly, excited as if he had acquired a huge secret.

At this point, the mysterious alien teacher chimed in: "Your creativity is absolutely fantastic! But the real challenge begins. You can't let boredom last too long at a party. Breaking the line between boredom and humor is the real goal!"

"Yeah, alien, can you offer some boring tips? Let our space boring party really fly!" I couldn't help asking, filled with anticipation of the unknown. The raucous laughter of the aliens echoed in my ears, as if to indicate that the real adventure was about to begin.

"So, alien, what's your trick?" I pretended to be serious, but my heart was full of expectation. Everyone stopped what they were doing and focused their eyes on the mysterious visitor.

Aliens clap their hands to get everyone's attention. "First of all, you need to know that creating boredom is not a static solution. If you want to be truly bored, it's important to break the boredom when it really matters! For example, when everyone is talking about how boring it is, suddenly someone pops up and says, 'I saw aliens fly by the other day, it was so exciting!' '"

"Ha ha, that sounds crazy!" Xiao Li looked surprised, as if imagining the inopportune moment. "Shouldn't everyone be confused at that time?"

The alien smiles and nods. "Yes! Then, you have to steer the topic, bet on some real feelings, and get everyone involved. For example, you could make the boring email you just discussed fun by giving everyone a little thing to sign, like the title of Boring Astronaut! Then people can't help but discuss!"

"I like that idea! My mind suddenly opened up, my mind had conceived a small chaotic scene, everyone competing for this "boring honor." "We can also add challenges where everyone does something funny on the spot, like putting on gloves in 90 seconds and telling their story through a boring song!"

"Ha ha, that's a great idea!" Xiao Zhang also added, "It makes people want to laugh, maybe this can be a boring challenge than boring!"

Unexpectedly, the alien actually nodded in agreement with enthusiasm, "This is the technique I said to create real boredom." Remember, boredom isn't just random silence, but a little drama now and then makes it worth the effort!" Each of his words is like a magic wand, which gradually lights up the spark of creativity in our hearts.

Each of his words is like a magic wand, which gradually lights up the spark of creativity in our hearts.

"Why are you worried about that?" The red alien responded with a smile, with a hint of playfulness, "Boredom is not so easy to sleep, especially when you have decided to turn boredom into an art!" There was confidence in his tone, as if he had foreseen the success of this boring feast.

"Well, then I'm relieved!" I thought to myself, silently sketching the outline of the party, filled with anticipation. At this time, Xiao Li suddenly raised his hand and rolled his eyes, as if he had found inspiration: "We can set up a 'boredom wall' and everyone will post slogans about boredom on it." For example, 'Boredom is the spice of life'!"

"Ha ha, that's a good idea!" "Then we can have the 'Final Boredom Challenge' and see who can write the most boring sentence on the wall!" Even I couldn't resist trying it." Everyone has a heated discussion, one idea after another comes, as if the boring elements have converged into an invisible force between us.

"Alien, do you have any boring classic examples to share?" I asked curiously, thinking maybe I could get some inspiration. The red alien smiled with a hint of ridicule on his face, "Of course, one of my favorite stories involves' infinite boredom 'in the universe." One day, an alien decided to count the stars, and he ended up counting the word 'boring' and couldn't count accurately anymore!"

"Ha ha, this alien is so boring!" Xiao Li could not help laughing, and the atmosphere in the office was suddenly lively. "Don't let this story become the theme of the party, or everyone will really fall out!"

"Don't worry, I will keep you informed of the party atmosphere!" I went on to say, with a humorous emphasis, "Make sure you don't sink into boredom, but rise out of it." After all, our mission is to make the party a fantastic experience of boredom and laughter."

"Yes, let boredom and laughter form a hedge, and at the same time, stimulate everyone's imagination!" There was a gleam of anticipation in the alien's eyes, as if in anticipation of the coming carnival. "Imagine a bored character suddenly leaping across the stage, unleashing pent-up energy like crazy!" I could not help but fall into reverie, looking forward to the comic scene, and the infinite possibilities burst into my mind.

"Then I think we need to think of another boring slogan!" Xiao Li had a serious look on his face and seemed completely immersed in this wonderful creative process. "Like 'Boredom is everywhere, laughter is inescapable'?"

"That sounds like some bad slogan! Ha ha!" I couldn't help laughing, "But maybe we could change it to 'find laughter in boredom.'" That should raise some expectations."

"Absolutely! We need more of these boring phrases." The little thief smiled, his eyes glistening with evil ideas. "Also, if we could read these topics out at the party, it would make everyone laugh!"

"Just like the slogan on our 'boring wall', being stared at, it's really torture!" Imagine having a serious discussion about boredom around it." The more I said, the more excited I became, as if I saw the picture, everyone's brow was serious, and the corners of his mouth were smiling.

"But we also have to prepare some 'boring activities'." The alien suddenly interjected, pointing at the crowd as if to raise a very important issue. "Let's say everyone has 30 seconds to demonstrate a boring skill in the least interesting way possible."

'That's a good idea! Xiao Li clapped his head, "I can explain how to boil water in a boring tone!" If no one can follow in real time, the show is a success!"

"Better! We can start as many boring arguments as possible and keep everyone trapped in this' boredom spiral '!" I couldn't help laughing as I imagined the scene. While it may have been a bad idea, I felt a thrill of imagination flying, as if anticipating the big changes this party would bring.

At this point, the alien interrupted our discussion with a cough: "So, preparations are still going on?" After all, we don't want the boring magic to lose its luster at the party." As he spoke, he gave us an expectant look.

"In that case, I'll start my boring magic show!" I raised my hand in an exaggerated expression, trying to create a dramatic atmosphere. "Are you all ready for the boring festival?"

Xiao Li jumped up eagerly: "Come on! Let me give you a boring stunt. For example, I'll split into three characters and tell each of their biggest boring moments! Absolutely not fun!"

I couldn't help laughing: "Sounds like your own dull talk show! Good choice, don't put the audience to sleep!"

'How right you are! The alien nodded with satisfaction, "and I suggest adding some unexpected elements to this interaction." While everyone is telling a boring story, everyone can try to add funny expressions to reverse the dull feeling, so as to keep the atmosphere high!"

Xiao Zhang seemed to get enlightenment: "I can use facial expressions to imitate boredom and see which expression is the most boring!" So everyone wants to try it! Of course, I'll enjoy the Pointers along the way!"

"Good idea!" I encouraged, "We can also set up a 'boring high-five wall' next to it, so that if someone is too boring, others can high-five and make boring sounds, creating a 'full-court resonance' effect!"

At this point, the alien finally stopped, raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "And we can take this part as a unique 'boring moment finals', and finally select the most boring performer, to get the title of' boring King ', too perfect!"

As the idea came along, the enthusiasm rose again, and our thoughts flew in the air of boredom, as if this party could really turn the dullness of reality upside down. On second thought, the heart actually produced a kind of expectation: boring struggle, can not also bring a different experience?
