Chapter 19: The Boring Universe's Conventions

With the help of 'virtual reality' technology suggested by aliens, our boring cosmic plans are gradually becoming clear. This approach made me feel like I was on a surreal adventure, surrounded by the mystery of the unknown. Although they started out as silly ideas, gradually it seems that our lives are enriched by them. Everyone is waiting to see how the boring trajectory will change our party tomorrow.

"Seriously, we need a theme for all the boring ideas!" Xiao Zhang said excitedly. "In this way, people can relate their boring stories to the characters, and that's a great joy." I thought to myself, is this the real boring breakthrough? Everyone also expressed their yearning for the subject in a humorous way.

"I think the ultimate in boredom is' meaningless meaning '!" The alien had a sudden idea, and there was an understanding of boredom in his voice. "We can try to find the hidden wisdom in those boring things and show it at the party." I frowned in confusion. "Well, this... It sounds a little philosophical, but I think we can try it."

Gradually, the discussions seemed endless, and even new colleagues were drawn into the lively atmosphere. People began to show each other boring ideas, and even offered to let everyone introduce themselves to each other in boring ways. Xiao Li crooned loudly: "I am Li, like to sing in the boring, in pursuit of the boring resonance of life!" Everyone laughed and I was secretly impressed by his imagination.

As time went on, the atmosphere of the party became more tense and exciting, and the mystery of the alien gradually seeped into our discussions. I began to wonder what the boredom we were seeking meant. Is it to escape work, or perhaps to truly understand the joys of life? This boring universe party is not only a celebration, but also an exploration of the boundaries of life, looking for unknown mysteries.

At the very moment when each of our thoughts and expectations converge, a miracle happens. I felt an unprecedented energy in the air, and maybe this event will not only liberate us from boredom, but also allow everyone to find themselves on this journey. In the upcoming cosmic boring party, each of us is ready, and the boring legend is quietly starting at this moment.

"Okay, everyone ready for a boring challenge?" I asked, pretending to be serious, my heart already bursting with joy. The rest of the office chanted in unison, "Ready!" The alien smiles, as if secretly contemplating a great adventure.

"We can activate the atmosphere with a little game," the alien suddenly suggested, with an alien ease in his voice. "For example, one person describes their own experience of boredom to see if others can stay upright." With that, his eyes scanned each of them, expecting a response.

"That's a great idea, I can go first!" Xiao Zhang rushed to cry out, as if expecting the surging laughter. He talked about his boring experience of being urged to get married by his parents before going home every week, barely hiding a helpless smile, but everyone laughed and laughed, and the entire office was full of carnival atmosphere. The aliens also get involved, trying to retell Xiao Zhang's story in boring alien language, causing everyone to laugh again.

At this time, the new colleague suddenly stood up: "I also want to try, I heard how boring you are!" He was a little nervous, but he had an energetic vibe. As soon as the words were finished, everyone was in anticipation and waiting with bated breath. He began by recounting the boring activity he had participated in with his friends last week: an ant counting contest. Described vividly, as if people can smell the anxiety and helplessness of ants, immediately attracted a burst of laughter.

"You will face even more boring challenges in this cosmic boring party!" The alien announced with enthusiasm, instantly making the atmosphere of the entire office lively again. "Next, we can compare two groups of bored subjects to see who is more bored!"

"That sounds like an extremely boring contest!" Xiao Li was laughing and joking, with a mischievous smile on his face. "Choose the boring binary of washing machines and dishwashers and see whose boredom is superior!" Everyone was in high spirits, the discussion was getting heated, and it seemed like the party was about to have more fun than ever.

"So who's more boring?" I looked up, with an uncanny smile, and looked around. The entire office has become a laboratory for boring exploration, with brilliant ideas and inspiration flowing around every corner. Xiao Zhang wriggled and said excitedly: "We can divide into two groups, think for a while, and then have a boring debate!"

"I totally agree! The alien raised his hand, as if demonstrating some strange gesture, and then joked: "The brainstorm is about to begin, everyone ready to be baptized by boredom?" Everyone suddenly laughed, and it seemed that the definition of boredom became more humorous and interesting in this moment. Everyone is starting to wonder what life's little things can be called "extremely boring."

"I think we can start with chores!" Xiao Li raised his hand at once. "Who can stand the boredom of scrubbing the kitchen with a sponge for an hour? And, with absolutely no sense of accomplishment, to face those greasy plates!" The office exploded in an instant, and everyone began to recall their domestic experiences, and laughter continued to float away.

"Five star boring!" Xiao Zhang took the opportunity to summarize and continued to say excitedly: "The comparison of washing machines and dishwashers should be expanded from here." Who would have imagined putting their hard-washed white clothes into yet another boring device, and fate was delivered! "The topic brought everyone here into intense thinking, it seems that washing machines and dishwashers have become the protagonists of our boring stories."

"Why don't we give these two appliances a try and see who can attract a lime better!" A bold idea struck me. The crowd was full of anticipation, and the alien raised his eyebrows and smiled at me. It was as if the devices on his distant planet had reacted, and everyone was lit up by the wonderful thought, "This interaction is simply irresistible!" Xiao Li immediately sneered.

"Ok, let's start preparing our respective speeches," Xiao Zhang commanded happily, and everyone was suddenly attracted by the new boredom. Maybe true boredom isn't just boring, it should be an adventure to make people laugh, a chance to reassess their lives. At this time, there was a burst of laughter in the office, and we felt that life was no longer monotonous as if it were unfolding in front of us.

"Well, prepare a story for the washing machine and the dishwasher!" Xiao Zhang flushed with excitement, "Who will go first?"

The alien smiles and seems to have conceived humorous images of the devices in his mind. "I'll put some drama into the washing machine," he said. "Imagine it making a sound like a classic car starting up, and then start talking gibberish, as if it were talking about its struggles for humanity."

"This is the best way!" I exclaimed with approval. "The washing machine can tell stories about being busy all day, complaining that it has no time to rest, but it has to suffer from dirty clothes."

"The dishwasher can add its own alternative point of view," Mr. Li interjects, as if in character. "It will tell everyone that what it hates most is to wash only a few dishes at a time, but to be surrounded by a lot of greasy dishes every day."

"Get ready! Three, two, one, go!" Xiao Zhang is like a general director, and everyone is roused up and instantly becomes an actor in this boring debate.

The atmosphere of the meeting room became hot in an instant, everyone participated in it, and tried their best to imitate the washing machine and dishwasher, and the wonderful performance was interwoven in everyone's tone and body. The aliens seem to indulge in human fun, and occasionally imitate some witty alien accents that make us bend over with laughter.

Just as we were frantically engaged, there was a sudden knock on the door, which interrupted our performance. Everyone turned around to see who the unexpected visitor was. "It's not the director coming, is it?" Xiao Zhang whispered, his face suddenly serious, for fear of being caught in a heated discussion about boredom. And I whispered to myself that I, who holds the title of "boring King", would this boring stage become more wonderful?

"Who is it? Not the boss, is it?" There was a hint of tension in Xiao Li's voice, and everyone's attention was attracted by the sound, as if they were ready to surrender. To avoid being caught, I gave everyone a "silent" sign, and the office was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

But in the midst of this tense atmosphere, the alien casually stood up and pointed to the door: "Let me see!" I thought to myself, is he going to talk to our director about alien culture and boring philosophy? After a while, he turned his head with a weird smile on his face and said slyly, "You have no idea what I saw!"

"Not aliens?" Xiao Zhang quipped, and everyone roared with laughter. But the alien pretended to be mysterious: "More wonderful, it is estimated that it will explode!" I squinted, feeling a little bad. Is it some kind of boring machine model? A moment of curiosity compelled me to get up and head for the door.

The moment I opened the door, an alien in a strange costume was the surprise guest. He was glowing, holding a game machine invented by alien technology. I stared, my heart already boiling: "This is a real boring breakthrough!"

Everyone gathered around, like attracted moths, and for a moment the office became lively, and everyone was scrambling to ask the alien what the device was used for. It giggled like a child just learning to talk. "This is the Boredom detector, which will detect all kinds of boredom patterns in your life!"

"Shall we try?" I raised my hand and the excitement flooded me like a Red Bull. The alien nodded happily: "Of course, but first you have to tell me what is boring!" For a moment, I felt that we were about to enter a new boring territory, full of expectations and unknown wonders, and that the door to adventure seemed to have quietly opened.

"Boredom detector? That sounds so cool!" I was so excited that I almost jumped. "How do we use it?"

"It's easy," the alien smiled, pointing at the gleaming device. "All you have to do is describe your experience of boredom in a weird way and it will analyse your level of boredom and give you a rating."

Xiao Zhang suddenly became serious, "I think my boring story wins, is there anyone else who wants to challenge me?" For a moment, the whole office was excited by his confidence, and everyone was scrambling. Some colleagues even start enumerating boring moments in their lives: "I wash my car every weekend and it gets rained on more than once!"

"Ha ha, my boring experience is worse!" Not to be outdone, Li began to describe the boring process of his pursuit of a sophisticated breakfast: "Every bowl of oats and every piece of bread is like mixing an alien potion!"

In this invisible competition, the alien showed a playful smile, "Good, good, it looks like your boredom value is about to break through the sky." His teasing made us laugh more and more, and I was filled with anticipation, as if I could feel the adventure to come.

Finally, the alien signals everyone to quiet down and starts analyzing everyone's stories with the boredom detector. When the scan is complete, the screen lights up with a variety of colors and patterns. "Wow, that's interesting! I can't help but sigh. As the colors change, the alien begins to comment one by one, like the director of a humorous play.

Just as we were immersed in our boring fun, suddenly the detector sounded a shrill alarm, like a horn of inner longing. "What is this? Is there something more boring going on?" My mood suddenly became tense, feeling that this boring office party was just beginning.
