Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 142

Since the beast fighting event did not have an auction component, Lin Shuying made a set of armor, giving her ample time to refine her work for this event.

Now, there are several game design assistants who can handle tasks such as testing, data analysis, program matching, and workflow improvement. Lin Shuying only needs to spend some time writing the plans and proposals, and then reviewing them one last time to prevent any misunderstandings.

However, it's much faster than doing it alone, and it can also filter out various loopholes.

Just as players were still caught up in the excitement of the beast-fighting event, a new event began.

Players waited in the game an hour in advance, and a group of mythical beast enthusiasts launched a prayer event, sitting quietly in the guild to pray.

"Mythical beast, come to my side!"

The leader shouted, and the others echoed, "Mythical Beast, come to my side!"

"Designer, give me a mythical beast!"

"Designer, give me a mythical beast!"

The video of the players sitting in prayer went viral on StarCraft.com and was then forwarded to Lin Shuying by Zhang Zhongxia.

Lin Shuying sighed and said helplessly, "I can't give them a mythical beast. Let them go and urge the game platform's official team."

Wei Linwei laughed and said, "I think it's better not to reveal it. We'll give the players a huge surprise, and they'll be ecstatic."

He had seen the mythical beasts designed by Lin Shuying, and they were absolutely stunning!

Initially, he couldn't understand why such a great design was delayed in going live, until it was tested recently. How could something so sacred be given just a few simple actions?

The various settings of the mythical beasts must be presented perfectly, otherwise it would be no better than Chen Hui's design space.

Lin Shuying laughed and said, "So just ignore them. Linwei, make sure you coordinate well with the game platform. They haven't sent me any progress reports for half a month."

If we don't urge her, when will her mythical beast and fantasy series be available for purchase?

Wei Linwei said, "Okay."

The player's prayer video had no effect, but it did attract the curiosity of many passersby.

The scene was so spectacular that it was impossible not to be curious.

"what are they doing?"

"Apart from students practicing exercises, I have never seen such a well-organized event with such a large number of participants."

Even in Star Wars games, the maximum number of characters is only around a hundred. The remaining soldiers are mostly intelligent NPCs, very obedient, their only drawback being that they cannot think for themselves.

There are tens of thousands of real people in this video!

One player, Qingfengyi, proudly said, "It's nothing, nothing at all."

The awards ceremony at Yaochi after each event is truly spectacular, with hundreds of thousands of people standing densely packed together, looking up at the plaque – that's a magnificent sight.

Especially when a player instigated the Battle of Yaochi, heavenly soldiers and ghostly soldiers all came out to fight, the sky darkened, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and shouts echoed.

Just thinking about it gets my blood pumping.

So this player posted the links to those videos in the comments, and many casual viewers immediately got hooked.

"My mech marshal, you call this a game?"

"It's more like another world, much more interesting than the holographic world."

"Is this Qingfengyi? How do I get in? I want to play."

"I went to look, and it turns out our planet hasn't introduced it yet!"

"Huh? It's just a game. If it doesn't work out, I'll go and get it. Two hundred million at most."

"Two hundred million is about right. The Barbie fashion that's been super popular lately cost two hundred million to import from our planet."

Players of Qingfengyi were very excited to see this comment. How can Qingfengyi be the same as other games?

No!

"You have never seen the world, so let me tell you: Qingfengyi has no sons, only one head."

"You have never seen anything like this before. Let me tell you: In Qingfengyi, all players are on the same server and share all resources."

"You have never seen anything like this before, so let me tell you: The last planet to successfully guide Qingfengyi was Wenchang Shenxing and Shihuo Shenxing. It's been almost a year since then."

"You have never seen anything like this before, so let me tell you: To receive the Qingfengyi, you need to build your own branch server and connect it to the main server on Planet Aimore, otherwise you won't be able to get in."

"Science popularizer passing by: The smallest branch server currently is the one on Mars, which cost 3 billion. You're welcome."

"You've never seen anything like this before. Let me tell you something: Upstairs, you idiot, you're disrupting the formation. Kick him out."

"You guys haven't seen much of the world, so let me tell you something: Don't misunderstand, the person upstairs is not a Qingfengyi player. It's pure rumor. Qingfengyi is not expensive at all. You haven't introduced it because it's not fun."

Upon hearing this, the players seemed to find a tacit understanding and began to complain about all the shortcomings of Qingfengyi.

"You've never seen anything like this before, so let me tell you: Qingfengyi is the most annoying thing ever. The designer only knows how to tempt us with fancy stuff. It's advertised, but it's not actually there. My divine beast, I've never seen anything like it in my lifetime!"

"I reasonably suspect that everyone is just posting irrelevant comments, so I'll be blunt. Qingfengyi is not fun at all; all I do every day is browse through the Treasure Basin and the Temple of the Matchmaker and pray to the God of Wealth."

"I'm not going to follow the format anymore. Qingfengyi is really not fun. It's just about team battles with various rangers. My weapons are old and useless, and the material shop doesn't sell them. I have to find them myself. It's so annoying."

It was supposed to be a one-on-one match, but the player's skills were so incredible that Lin Shuying's skill ceiling was quickly exceeded.

In the world of martial arts, a common practice for many combat players is to team up to fight the wandering knights, kill them, and then wait for other teams to join in, which then escalates into a team battle.

In the wilderness of the Chinese martial arts world, it is common for thousands of people to fight to the death.

It started with dozens of people, then grew to hundreds, and then to thousands.

A 5,000-player battle is the maximum; the NPC's team can only have a maximum of 5,000 players. Dungeons also have a player limit; once the NPCs can form a 5,000-player team, it's very difficult for players to form a 5,000-player team, unless a wealthy player pays to issue a public announcement, clearing out more than half of the players in that area and then prohibiting other players from entering.

Some wealthy players do this, but with five thousand against five thousand, players rarely win.

It would be better to have fewer skilled players and more top-tier players, so the odds are evenly matched.

However, players are a mysterious group; the more difficult something is to obtain, the more they have to grind for it, while things they can obtain become less interesting.

Currently, combat players have two gameplay options:

First, defeat all the rangers in single combat and complete their character encyclopedia entries. There are just too many rangers, thousands of them, each more powerful than the last, and new rangers may appear with each update.

Secondly, all rangers in the team battle.

They discovered that different wandering knights formed different teams; for example, the teams formed by Guan Yu, Liu Bei, and Zhang Fei were often the same.

Zhang Fei's team could be assembled by Guan Yu and Liu Bei, and they were known as the Three Righteous Soldiers of the Peach Garden.

Liu Bei could occasionally assemble an army from his wife's family in Jiangdong, or an army led by the divine strategist Zhuge Liang, while Guan Yu could occasionally assemble an army to poach members from Cao Cao's faction...

Each one is very interesting.

It's like opening a blind box, where each box contains its own story and connection.

Some players who have compiled the storylines have discovered that these stories, when strung together, form a super masterpiece, an epic work that transcends time.

There are just too many details; it's impossible to organize them all.

Players become so engrossed in the stories of the NPCs in the Chinese martial arts world that they are filled with joy and excitement with each new discovery.

The comments from passersby under this video seemed to have stirred up a hornet's nest among the players. What appeared to be complaints from the players were actually full of boasting.

The passerby seemed to sense a certain word in it, but couldn't quite put it into words.

My teeth are a little itchy.

"I'd like to see what kind of game this is, all talk and no action."

"This is the first time I've seen such terrible reviews for a game. Why do I want to play it more and more as I read them?"

While everyone was going crazy over the prayer video, the game was officially updated.

This time there was no messenger; the system sent a message asking players to go to the shop to choose their own mail.

Upon hearing this, the player was told to choose for themselves?

We must have them all!

They all dashed off to the mall.

The mall is packed with people, a sea of ​​heads.

A new section has been added: Lacquerware Sales Hall.

Of course, the letter hasn't reached the players yet; all that's left is the sign on the door that reads: Lacquerware Sales Hall.

At this time, the shelves were filled with boxes that were twenty inches long, five inches high, and ten inches wide.

They are the same size and specifications, but different patterns and colors.

There are red lacquer with mother-of-pearl inlay, black lacquer with mother-of-pearl inlay, lacquer with gold embroidery, lacquer with carving, and lacquer with piled-up textures.

The pattern features butterflies playing among flowers, which is very popular in lacquerware and looks beautiful when made.

Especially the butterfly and flower motif in mother-of-pearl lacquer, where mother-of-pearl can bring out the colors of the flowers and butterflies, making it look dreamy, enchanting, and colorful.

The carved lacquerware often features birds and beasts, longevity pines and bamboos. These carvings are lifelike, and the lacquer colors exude grandeur.

Lin Shu-ying really went all out for this event, preparing a whopping 5,000 different colored letter boxes.

Although she only provided more than a hundred basic color designs, allowing the intelligent system to match and generate tens of thousands of variations, she selected five thousand that she was relatively satisfied with.

Further adjustments were made to the details.

We guarantee that every box is exquisite, with harmonious color and pattern combinations.

Each player can only get one, so be quick and you can search for your favorite in multiple areas.

Once you've decided, you can't choose any other options.

This is equivalent to five million limited edition pieces, making it slightly more valuable than the previous envelopes.

Many players didn't pay attention to the ant-shaped text explanation below the system and quickly placed their orders after entering the product area.

After receiving the letter, I didn't look at it. I reached for the next one, only to find that I couldn't take it!

"Aaaaaah, I can only take one!"

A player next to him chuckled and said, "Do you think the designers are idiots, going to give away unlimited freebies?"

The player remained calm and simply chose his favorite one.

Squeezing through the crowd, constantly comparing.

There are so many, so many, it's dazzling!

A friend who was following along asked, "Aren't you afraid that you'll end up with nothing to choose from?"

The player said, "The number released by the official team will definitely match the number of players, so my version will definitely be available. There are many other people like me who are also hoping to pick their favorite one, so there's no need to worry about not getting one."

If you take your time to choose, you'll have to go to other areas. Many players come in and grab it right away, so many styles aren't available.

Smart players won't rush to the store to grab a piece of the character; they'll wait at the service counter to unlock the character collection. Once they find their favorite style in the collection, they'll head straight for it!

It's fast, doesn't leave you feeling empty, and is comfortable.

Deng Yijun was one of these people, leading his team to observe the scene.

He then took a liking to a gilded lacquer box, with a red base and gold and black carp motifs wrapped around the entire box.

There's also a carved dragon head on top!

Combined with the carp totem, it resembles an evil dragon soaring from the blood, exuding great power and majesty.

He likes it very much!

love at first sight.

Once selected, it will quickly take you to the nearest area to search.

Other players also have a keen eye; this box is very popular, and most people who see it will buy it.

He searched through more than a dozen districts before finally finding this model, and only when he received it did his anxiety subside.

There's a lingering fear of missing out.

"I almost messed up."

He forgot to calculate the total amount.

There are around five million of each type of box, but the number of players is as high as five billion, which is completely disproportionate.

Fortunately, we got it.

Many players who had previously hoped to find their favorite box with a bit of luck are now regretting it.

An hour passed, and the players had long since received their own boxes, while those who were picky could only take what was left.

Finally, I learned a life lesson: When it's time to take, take it; never believe that you'll have the best left over in the end.

Qingfengyi's designs are indeed all outstanding, but even among excellent works, there are comparisons and aesthetic differences.

Players who got their desired items were as happy as children, proudly showing them off in the chat channel.

"Oh my gosh, mine is Butterflies Playing Among Flowers! The colors on the butterflies are so dreamy. They look so real, shimmering with different lights depending on the illumination. Pictures, pictures."

"My gold-painted peony is still the most beautiful. It exudes wealth and makes you feel rich just by looking at it. [Picture]"

The picture shows a box with a red peony, decorated with gold thread and black lacquer. The peony is lifelike, with vibrant colors and a grand shape.

"Ahhh, I didn't get it. Can I trade with you? Mine is plain blue mother-of-pearl inlay, I want a brighter one. Pictures, pictures."

The picture shows a box with a black background and mother-of-pearl inlaid orchids.

The orchid's leaves are bluish-green, and its flowers are bluish-purple, giving it a very elegant appearance. A small yellow butterfly nearby adds a touch of vibrancy to the overall color scheme.

It's elegant with a touch of freshness, and very beautiful.

The flowers were not spread out completely, but were located in the left corner.

The rest of the lacquer is pure black, smooth as jade, and its surface is so clear that it reflects one's image.

"Upstairs, wanna trade with me? I like your simple and elegant style, but mine isn't a peony design, it's a hundred flowers and butterflies. Pictures, pictures."

"Great! I like the butterfly too."

Players didn't even have time to read the letters inside the boxes they received; instead, they exchanged the boxes they liked with each other.

Wealthy players then began acquiring them at high prices.

However, I won't sell it unless I urgently need the money, since I just got it.

We'll start looking at the updated content after everyone has finished changing theirs.

This time, the letter was a small booklet, a booklet made of lacquered wood, with the contents written in gold. The edges were decorated with tiny mother-of-pearl butterflies!

"Ahhh, it's so beautiful! It's really so beautiful!"

The player was amazed the moment they opened it.

Each page features a different butterfly design: fluttering butterflies, butterflies gathering nectar from flowers, and butterflies flying in pairs.

The booklet feels smooth and moist to the touch, with an excellent tactile experience.

The entire booklet is just one piece, something you can handle.

Another treasure has been added to the inventory, and players were so excited that it took them a long time to read the announcement carefully.
