Chapter 15: The Birth of the Boring Classic

"Okay, are you guys ready to challenge yourself?" "The red alien asked excitedly, with a smile that seemed to infect the entire office.

"Absolutely! We're going to make this creation really boring!" I responded, filled with anticipation. There was always a sense that something was about to change, and I even felt a novelty in the air. Everyone began to discuss their own boring ideas, and the wild ideas became a small imagination.

"Xiao Li, do you have any ideas?" Xiao Zhang asked, looking expectantly. "Maybe you'll make everyone laugh till their stomachs ache!"

"I thought of a story about a boring photocopier who wished he could be a color printer but could only make boring documents." Xiao Li began to describe, more and more seriously, as if he had seen the struggle of the copier's life.

"It's amazing, it's an absolute classic!" As I listened intently, my heart began to want to try. "And then what? Does the copier eventually find its worth, or is it ridiculed by other machines?"

"Of course, the photocopier accidentally discovered at a party that boring photocopies can also be used as theme decorations and become the highlight of the party!" Xiao Li looked proud. "Then he realized his dream!" Everyone laughed when they heard it, as if they suddenly felt a strange connection. As we discussed our stories, I couldn't help but wonder if the small, boring stories could be brought together to create a miracle.

"I have a bold idea," I interjected with a burst of excitement, "that we could turn these stories into plays and let everyone do their own boring legends! Imagine the whole office being our stage, putting on a 'boring play' directly on the day of the annual meeting!" The eyes of my colleagues gleamed, as if lit by my proposal.

"Absolutely! I can't wait to see Xiao Li play the photocopier." Xiao Zhang said, make everyone burst into laughter.

"Haha, you can add a little costume to the photocopier, as if it is still struggling with frequent printing." Xiao Li followed suit, pointing at himself. "It all adds up to a 'copier strikes back' storyline!" The atmosphere in the office suddenly became more active, and everyone began to actively develop plots for their own characters.

"How about we just introduce the alien into the script and make it our judge?" I suggested that I had the plot mapped out in my mind. The tall alien heard this and nodded at once. "That's definitely a good idea! Boring stories can also have an alien perspective and see how Earthlings elevate it!"

As the discussion progressed, it occurred to me that this "boring" performance is not just about having fun at the office, it gives us a whole new perspective on the trivialities of life. "Our boring assembly can become an attitude towards life, and even cope with the boredom of life!" I couldn't help but sigh.

"That's right, not only does it allow us to get to know each other better, but it also allows us to find the nuances of fun in our daily lives." "Agreed Xiao Zhang, clearly infected by my enthusiasm. People began to discuss the characters, the plot, and the humorous details. As the goal of script creation gets closer and closer, everyone's sense of anticipation becomes stronger and stronger. An adventure in boredom, it seems, is just beginning.

"I think Xiao Li had better be a photocopier!" Xiao Zhang quipped, prompting a burst of laughter. "I don't want to be called 'paper' in a play!" Xiao Li retorted, waving his hand, but the smile on his face gave him away.

"Don't worry, I'll thicken your ink cartridge and make you look great on stage." I joked, "I'm sure you'll get the funniest photocopy of the whole thing!" Saying that, I secretly imagined the stage effect of this boring big play. Maybe we can find some boring props, like a photocopier with a whole packet of paper and a boring artist whiteboard.

"Haha, you can also design some strange movements for the alien, such as it can hold out a little finger with its hand, and then make a 'cool copy' pose!" Xiao Zhang excitedly imagined that the office immediately sounded a burst of laughter, and the atmosphere became more and more warm. I felt a flood of creative inspiration, and the more I thought about it, the more interesting the idea of this boring drama was.

"If we can do this play, maybe we can do it at the Boring Festival in the city!" Xiao Li immediately suggested, "This is a perfect opportunity to show our boring art!" My heart move, imagine the scene, the whole city's boring festival is in full swing, the light imagination makes people laugh.

"So we run to the great peak of boredom!" I shouted, and the crowd applauded. At that moment, the atmosphere suddenly changed again in two seconds, as the red alien seemed to have discovered something, and his eyes became extremely intense, ethereal and somewhat funny.

"You boring Earthlings remind me of the boring rebellion of an alien civilization." The alien slowly raised his arm and said with a smile on his face. "But if you can really turn that boredom into something creative, I have an even more wonderful challenge for you." The words instantly made the whole office quiet, and the air was filled with anticipation.

"A challenge? What are the challenges?" Xiao Zhang couldn't wait to ask, his brow furrowed, as if hoping the alien would bring something special instead of boredom.

"I can take you to the universe of boredom, where there is a magical 'fountain of boredom' that can take your creativity to unprecedented heights!" As the alien spoke, he waved his hand mysteriously toward the ceiling. I wondered, "What's the source of this boredom? Why does it feel like the name of some extreme sport?"

Xiao Li interjected, "I don't want to get more boring, that's enough! We might actually get some new cosmic boredom skills and think we can 'get to the sky'." After saying that, everyone laughed, and couldn't help but imagine Xiao Li proudly displaying his boring talent on the alien stage.

"But I thought I'd give it a try and maybe find something more interesting." I said I had a bad feeling in my heart. Even if it's risky, maybe the lurking fun is what we're really looking for. The alien nodded happily, "Well, get ready! Let happiness and boredom fly together!"

In the glowing hands of the red alien, a bright eye of light pierced the air, and not far away suddenly appeared a strange door, glittering with more and more complex brilliance. "This is your entrance to the boring universe, take this chance!"

My colleagues were hovering between excitement and trepidation, and my heart beat faster. Is this wonderful adventure really about to begin? I looked back at my colleagues around me, each with an expectant smile on their face, as if they had traveled in boredom and imagination. Unconsciously, my hand has reached for the shining door.

"Are you really going through that door?" There was a tremor in Xiao Li's voice. I looked at him and found that he did not know whether he was nervous or excited.

"We're all fighting for boring art!" I smiled and said, but my heart is also a little uneasy. Is this boring adventure in the universe really what we want? But think again, if you don't go, don't you miss countless possibilities. And it seems appealing to imagine the process of distilling creativity out of boredom.

"All the boring adventures ahead of us!" The red alien encouraged with a tone full of anticipation, as if to give us a "full score of boredom" reassurance. "Coming here, you will discover the true meaning of boredom, and even learn how to turn boredom into a source of creativity!"

"Sounds like some sort of top-secret cosmic lesson." "I hope it doesn't teach us how to be as boring as a photocopier," Zhang joked. Everyone could not help laughing, and the tense atmosphere was eased in the sound of laughter.

"If we can find the source of boredom, maybe we can create the pinnacle of the Boring drama!" I added, feeling uplifted. "And if we do, we can send all the stories back to Earth through this' fountain of cosmic boredom 'and it will be absolutely sensational!"

"Then let us go together!" Xiao Li suddenly perked up in the atmosphere and took a step forward, as if he wanted to promote everyone's courage. So, with a burst of anticipation and excitement, a few of us rushed towards the strange door, ready to start the unknown adventure. As soon as I stepped through the door, the light around me seemed to close, everything became blurred, and the veil of truth was quietly lifted at that moment.

"Why, what is this place? I opened my eyes and found myself immediately in a space full of colors. There were all sorts of boring objects floating around, as if they had gathered from every corner office. Li winked next to me and muttered, "This is much more intense than the boring universe I imagined."

"It's a good exhibition of boring art." I joked, pointing to a boring folder that was spinning. "You see, there is a three-meter high 'boring data' statue, really beautiful!"

The colleagues around laughed, and Xiao Zhang joked: "Should we give it a 'boring show'?" It's best if the photocopier takes the lead." Everyone's laughter wanders in this strange universe, and the atmosphere that seems boring becomes humorous.

Just then, the red alien jumped in front of us and forced an exaggerated smile. "Welcome to the Boring universe! This is a mecca for your boring art! You're about to have the most boring adventure you've ever had!"

"As crazy as that sounds, it's not easy to be bored." "I sighed, congratulating myself that I hadn't flinched. "So, where do we start?"

"Start with that source of boredom!" The alien pointed to an ever-changing glow. My curiosity was piqued and my heart was filled with joy. "Looks like our boring show is about to officially begin!" I said, smiling, and led my colleagues toward the flickering light, full of anticipation for the adventure ahead.
