I was so scared that I put all my points into health.

Wang Xiaoyi's mind was like a never-ending little motor, constantly generating all sorts of ideas. He thought, Flint was very popular in his shop, but could the entire shop only have one idol star like Flint? He recalled the many colorful activities in the real world, especially role-playing. Whenever he remembered those people participating in role-playing activities in the real world, watching them wear all sorts of strange costumes, playing all kinds of roles, adventuring in fantastical scenes, or exploring futuristic worlds filled with science fiction, a strange sense of excitement would well up inside him, as if he himself were in those wonderful scenes.

Then, an idea suddenly popped into his mind: "Why not hold the first cosplay event in Elparan City?" This idea was like a seed that had been sown, and once planted, it quickly took root and sprouted, growing rapidly in his heart like a blazing flame, filling him with boundless passion.

However, he also knew that organizing a large-scale event was no easy task; it involved numerous procedures and complications, especially obtaining permission from the relevant departments in the capital. Wang Xiaoyi understood the importance of this, just as a navigator understands the importance of a nautical chart. Therefore, he decided to use the princess, an acquaintance, to help contact the relevant departments.

The princess held an extremely high position and wielded immense influence in the royal city. She was like a dazzling pearl, and her every move attracted widespread attention.

After finding the princess, Wang Xiaoyi, like a sincere persuader, explained his ideas in detail. His eyes shone with anticipation for the event. He told the princess that cosplay was a very fun and creative activity. Participants could role-play various characters according to their preferences, whether they were magicians or knights from a mysterious fantasy world, heroes from ancient times, or strange creatures existing only in imagination. In this process, they not only had to carefully prepare costumes and props to match their characters, but also showcase the character's personality, experiences, and emotions through their performances—undoubtedly a great way to demonstrate their talents and imagination. This activity was more than just simple entertainment; it had many positive effects. It could attract people of all ages to participate, from lively children and energetic young people to middle-aged adults, all could find enjoyment in it. Moreover, this activity could revitalize various fields, such as costume design, prop making, and performing arts, allowing people in these fields to exchange ideas, collaborate, and promote mutual development. At the same time, this will allow more people to understand the cultural characteristics of the capital, attract more people to the capital, and thus promote the economic development of the capital.

Upon hearing Wang Xiaoyi's explanation, the princess's eyes lit up, like a lamp suddenly illuminated in the darkness. She became deeply interested in the event, as if it were something she had always longed for. She thought it was a fantastic idea that would allow the people of the royal city to have a pleasant and unforgettable time, like a grand carnival party.

So the princess readily agreed to Wang Xiaoyi's request. Like a generous benefactor, she decided to help him contact the relevant department head.

Initially, the relevant department heads were filled with doubt and confusion about this unfamiliar event. Their faces were clouded with worry, their brows furrowed, wondering what exactly this event was all about. They didn't understand why such a peculiar event was being held, and they even worried that it might have some negative impact on the capital, such as disrupting social order or causing unnecessary controversy.

However, when Wang Xiaoyi began patiently explaining the event, they felt like people groping in the dark seeing the light of day, gradually gaining a deeper understanding of the activity. Wang Xiaoyi detailed the origins, development, and real-world impact of cosplay. Like a knowledgeable scholar, he spoke of cosplay's initial rise within niche circles and its gradual evolution into a global cultural phenomenon, explaining how it evolved from simple character imitation into a comprehensive activity encompassing cultural creativity, artistic performance, and social interaction. He also told the organizers that in the real world, many cities have attracted large numbers of tourists by hosting cosplay events, boosting local tourism economies and enhancing the city's reputation and prestige.

As the relevant officials listened to Wang Xiaoyi's words, they were drawn in by an invisible force, gradually becoming captivated by the allure of the event. They felt this was a fantastic opportunity, like discovering a treasure hidden in the sand. It would allow the people of the royal city to experience the charm of different cultures, like opening a door to the world, enabling everyone to appreciate a diverse and rich tapestry of cultures. Simultaneously, it would promote the diversified development of the royal city, allowing it to reach new heights in culture, economy, and society.

Therefore, the relevant person in charge readily agreed to Wang Xiaoyi's application. They acted like a group of enthusiastic supporters, expressing their full support for the holding of this cosplay event.

After obtaining permission from the relevant departments, Wang Xiaoyi, like a highly motivated commander, began preparing for this first-ever cosplay event. Like a skilled craftsman, he meticulously invited experts and teams from various fields to participate. He found experienced costume designers who, like magical tailors, could design exquisite costumes tailored to the characteristics of each character; skillful prop makers who, like magical artisans, could create realistic props from various materials; and professional makeup artists who, like magical makeup artists, could instantly transform participants into various characters. These people worked together like a close-knit family, creating a truly perfect stage for the event.
