While most of the villagers of Chixia Village were gathered at the village chief's doorstep, singing and dancing, a dim light lit up in a small wooden cabin on the other side of the village.
The unassuming structure stood out oddly against the backdrop of its pitch-dark neighbors.
Zhao Lang, who should have been on his way to the town, suddenly appeared in a second-floor room.
He walked straight to the desk, opened a drawer, and took out an old-fashioned, seemingly cumbersome senior citizen's phone.
After opening the battery cover of the phone, he skillfully inserted a small chip.
The next second, the phone lit up with blue light.
Zhao Lang then pressed a button on the side and the clunky senior citizen's phone instantly began to reassemble itself, turning into a handheld computer within seconds.
A blue light projected from the computer fell on the desk, turning into a virtual keyboard.
