Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 267

Lin Shuying witnessed this ultimate transformation from a first-person perspective. Humans are incredibly insignificant; even tens of thousands could sit on the leg hairs of Pangu. The sound of the axe cleaving through the air, the sound of the world being churned, was dizzying and could drive one insane. The awe she felt when he transformed himself into all things, and she, as a human, emerged from a mountaintop, was etched into her memory for a lifetime.

The videos that interstellar viewers see no longer have the dizzying effect of those in the game, but humanity's innate fear of giant objects has not diminished at all.

"My mech Grand Marshal, is there really such a colossal being?"

"Waaaaah, I'm crying so hard! Pangu actually transformed his own body into a planet and all the things on it. It's so amazing!"

"Yes, how could he bear not to live?"

That's a good question. Why would someone be willing to not live?

"I feel like I am just a speck of dust, a cell that was accidentally separated after this great God was broken down. It's so shocking."

"Family members, I have a startling theory. Do you think the ancients knew about the origin of the universe back then?"

This statement sparked a heated debate, with many academics beginning to ponder: isn't Pangu's creation of the world simply the result of the universe collapsing and then expanding again? Every era of the universe undergoes this process, and although humanity hasn't experienced it yet, research on black holes, spacetime tunnels, and spatial tunnels suggests that the universe does indeed collapse, collapsing to its extreme before expanding and exploding again. Pangu's creation of the world is a case in point; at the point of extreme collapse, Pangu was a point of anomalous activity. His transformation caused the universe to explode, and this world was born.

Many players don't believe it. How could anyone know the secrets of the universe from the very beginning? After all, it took them tens of thousands of years to discover so many things.

"It's just a coincidence, how could that be?"

"Yes, if you knew the secrets of the universe back then, why didn't you describe them in a more concrete and specific way, instead of being so cryptic?"

But the researchers didn't believe it and began to search for the secrets of history and mythology.

Meanwhile, Barbie Fashion was furious that even with its cinematic epic visuals, Qingfengyi still managed to steal the audience's attention. Tony scoffed, "It's just a myth, right? They act like everyone else has one. I'm just putting it on!"

What's so great about Eastern mythology? They still adhere to the old-fashioned monogamy, haha. With gods like theirs, all people are their offspring—that's the world humanity yearns for most—freedom and free love.

The update for "Qingfengyi" officially began, and players waited until midnight as the adorable little messengers came into view. Players already had enough experience to find the perfect angles, set up their cameras, and simply waited within that range for the special effects to appear.

Then, a nine-tailed fox, its fluffy tail swishing, descended from the sky, stepping on five-colored flowers. The flowers shimmered with a beautiful light, soft and gentle in the darkness. Such soft colors are hard for even painters to find, but Qingfengyi's designers have found them—a super dreamy array of vibrant colors.

The fox's tails were round and fluffy, with tiny white tips that shimmered like bright lamps, making the vibrant red below appear even brighter. The tips of its ears were black, with long fur and white in the middle. It also had a long white fur collar on its chest and white paws.

Many players were stunned!

They do have a fox spirit guest, but this one is too unfair; it's even better at being cute than a fox spirit, sob sob sob.

After the fox flew down, it noticed a letter in its mouth. It carefully presented the letter to the player, who was about to hug the fox without hesitation when the fox transformed into a tiny carved fox!

The players immediately erupted in anger.

The world chat was filled with questions: "Who made my fox disappear! Aaaaaah!"

"My adorable fox, such an adorable fox, I didn't even get to feel how full its tail was."

The fox was so cute, my heart was still pounding, when suddenly it vanished, like a bucket of compressed nitrogen being poured over my head, leaving me numb with cold. Everyone rushed to check the announcement and discovered that many new retainers had appeared. Could that fox have been one of them?

"Is my lovely fox Yukihime? Someone tell me, let me thaw my heart."

"Please tell me, I'm really afraid I'll be heartbroken if I don't get that fox, sob sob sob."

At this point, the player who had read all the announcements and received the items spoke up.

"Family members, didn't you read the announcement? The little fox is there, just in a different form. It's not Yukihime. (Image)"

The image shows a small, yellow-red fox sculpture, tied with a black rope, adorned with a pearl and topped with an imperial green jade bead. The design is further enhanced by a plum blossom knot braid with a monkey fist knot in the center, creating a perfect, beaded bracelet-like effect. The exquisite carving, combined with the equally delicate rope braid and the jade and pearl, instantly captivates the viewer.

The player who posted the first picture then posted two more, adding, "And another thing, it's amazing! Although the live fox is gone, this fox is still here, just as cute. Pictures, pictures."

The first image is the system's description of nut carving, along with a small bottle of oil containing high-grade oil specifically for nourishing nut carvings. The system explains that nut carvings are treasures that become more charming, beautiful, and valuable the more they are handled; handling them is part of their maintenance, and oiling is necessary to prevent cracking.

Of course, if you find the finest nut material and let it age for five or six years, or even decades, the carving can achieve an exquisite appearance simply by the natural oils from your hands. After all, the best results come from the hands handling the nut carving. However, many people prioritize speed, and because the material doesn't have enough time to mature, it's prone to cracking and requires oiling.

Over time, the original wood color of the nut carving material can be gradually removed through handling, transforming it into a jade-like, crystal-clear texture, even more lustrous and brightly colored than jade.

The red is pleasing, the black is lustrous, the yellow is beautiful, and the white is smooth.

The small gift from Qingfengyi in this announcement, a fox-shaped olive pit carving, is a round carving made of red olive material. It has already undergone some processing; although it's not at its peak jade-like quality, the surface already has a patina and glaze.

The little fox was hugging one tail, resting its head on it, while the remaining eight tails were coiled to the left, right, and back, with the one in the very center pointing upwards—it was incredibly beautiful.

Its innocent appearance belies its clear eyes, which reveal a hint of cunning and mischief.

Wearing a bracelet on your wrist exudes sophistication!

"My mecha grand marshal, I thought the previous bracelets were the limit and there wouldn't be anything better, but I didn't expect there to be something even better."

"Family members, I'm crying so hard, someone please help me, waaaaah. (Video)"

This player was incredibly fast. After looking at it for a few moments, she felt the fox's color would look better with more beads, so she disassembled the bracelet. Her disassembly process was a bit forceful; she couldn't untangle the slipknot, no matter how it was tied. After pulling hard, it broke, and the plum blossom knot and monkey fist knot came undone.

It's completely beyond repair, and now all I can do is cry to the players.

A rope weaving expert replied: "This bracelet is woven using a combination of plum blossom knots, monkey fist knots, and 'Fu Lu Quan Quan' knots. When finishing, any excess rope is cut off. It's impossible to restore it to its original state; you can only shorten it or replace it with another rope. I can weave; message me if you're interested. I'll weave one for 500 gold ingots."

This player simply wanted to be a good Samaritan and help out, as it's really upsetting to have something you just received broken. They also wanted to take the opportunity to practice their weaving skills. As someone obsessed with bracelets and dedicated to creating beautiful bracelets and rope braids, they couldn't bear to see such a beautiful work of art destroyed.

He never expected that in just two minutes, tens of thousands of people would send him private messages!

All the ropes are broken and need to be repaired.

Unfortunately, he couldn't reply to each private message individually, so he gave a unified reply in the chat channel: "If you shorten it, you'll use the original materials for weaving, which will preserve the limited-edition event announcement souvenir number given by the official Qingfengyi team, but there will be a damage repair label on the back. Veteran players know this, and new players can check it themselves, so I won't elaborate. If you use new rope, only the original components will have the official number, and a damage label will be added on the back. Please send me a private message with your choice and decide carefully. The weaving process is very complicated, so I'll just take pictures according to the time you sent me in private messages."

Soon, players who needed it sent him private messages, almost all of them choosing to shrink the size, but they had to have an official number and keep the tags intact.

The reason this group dared to disassemble it was because the limited-edition Qingfengyi item could sense the distance and quantity of its components, making them easy to find and assemble later. However, they considered everything except that the craftsmanship was too exquisite; disassembling it would destroy it…

The announcement effects ended quickly, and most players could rest peacefully. Having resolved their worries, they slept exceptionally well, eagerly anticipating playing the game in the morning.

Some players didn't get a break and stayed up all night.

Especially for livestreamers, internet celebrities, and bloggers, how can people who make a living from popularity and novelty go to sleep!

After carefully storing the fox bracelet, everyone should quickly enter the dungeon and start the game. Those with the skill should try to release a strategy guide tomorrow morning, while those without should at least make a funny video to boost the rankings. Enter different areas based on your area of ​​expertise; most players choose to go to the in-game store, where you'll find the latest items.

Now, not all players will buy all the items in Qingfengyi. Most players choose not to buy things they don't need, saving their gold ingots to exchange for Star Coins or better items, which is better than spending them on things that can be bought anytime in the official store.

As a result, a new type of blogger emerged, who would compile a list of items in the store to determine whether they were necessities for players of different professions.

In each Qingfengyi event, not all high-quality items are made into limited-edition items. Instead, some are made available in the in-game store for everyone to purchase, while others are included in special encounters or event items for players to obtain. The task for bloggers visiting the in-game store is to find the items featured in this event, and players are required to purchase at least five of those items.
