Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 297

He laughed loudly, "I have been waiting for battle for a long time, and today I will certainly enjoy myself to the fullest!"

Then he led the charge, but the opposing players, lacking any martial spirit, pulled out various firearms to smash him. In the middle, Chu Bawang's side was overwhelmed by the onslaught. Suddenly, Chu Bawang pulled out an axe from somewhere and cleaved the model ship handed to him by his subordinates. Instantly, the morale of the entire team soared, and they fought to a draw with the player team.

The video also showed other challenging situations, with many NPCs managing to summon large teams. They even used numerous schemes, sometimes forcibly achieving the desired results in bizarre ways when the conditions for those schemes couldn't be met.

For example, Xiang Yu's strategy of "breaking the cauldrons and sinking the boats".

There's also the "beauty trap," which is incredibly useful for many players. By agreeing to certain conditions, you can obtain beautiful female NPCs—beauties are as stunning as the entire world!

Of course, this only fooled unsuspecting players at first; later, no one believed it anymore. After all, they thought they could really gain a beautiful guest, only to find out they only got a glimpse of her. They thought this gave them a sure win, but then something even stranger happened.

The "honey trap" wasn't used on the player, but instead on the player's mount...

These days, which combat player doesn't have a mount? Everyone has cattle, horses, sheep, and so on. Black tigers, white eagles, giant eagles, and red embroidered balls are rare items, and some new players don't have them, but horses are unlimited.

There are plenty of lovebirds in Love Valley; you can grab one anywhere, and occasionally you might even find a top-tier BMW.

If you use a seductive charm, your mount is guaranteed to be completely bewitched, and might even throw its owner off.

After watching the video, countless players couldn't stop laughing.

"Haha, the creator of this video has such a talent for comedy. This is the funniest video I've ever seen in my life."

"Me too, hahaha."

"So, if you're a combat player with so much fighting and killing, don't come here and whine for no reason. Hahaha, that's hilarious."

........

Time slipped away amidst the arguments, and most players logged off and went to sleep after reading the announcement. They needed a good night's sleep, otherwise they wouldn't have the energy to watch the fireworks show the next night.

Although they had seen the fireworks display once before, and the occasional fireworks effects used in Qingfengyi's events, players were still incredibly excited. Many people watched the previous Lantern Festival fireworks display and the sea of ​​lights before going to sleep. They fell asleep watching them, dreaming of romantic dreams, their lips curving into a smile.

The next day, players began accepting Lantern Festival quests, most of which were the same as before. The lanterns in the Lantern Street were rearranged; the decorations had disappeared after the last festival, a fact that players had regretted ever since. Seeing them again now was very exciting.

This year's lanterns are different from the last one. Last time, there were many large lanterns, such as those depicting the Moon Rabbit, Chang'e, and the God of Wealth. This time, there are more small lanterns, hanging in front of shops, on trees, and on balconies. This year's Lantern Festival street also features interstellar energy-infused decorative lights to enhance the festive atmosphere. However, the technologically advanced sections are separated to prevent the light from polluting the ancient atmosphere of the area.

Lin Shuying decided to create this modern decorative light street because fire prevention was quite good in her time. Even traditional lights used LED lights inside, and many scenic spots and streets did the same during festivals. Whatever era it existed in, it belongs to a part of Chinese civilization, a beautiful part of it.

I never knew before that terrible times could also be beautiful, but now that I can't go back, I realize that even suffering can be a sweet part of life. Besides, every day of her past was filled with boundless joy, freedom, and happiness.

A career she loves, beloved parents, a familiar world and a cherished country—is there anyone in the world happier than her?

Compared to modern LED-lit streets, players prefer retro-style areas, admiring the lanterns without high-tech elements. They appreciate the atmosphere—a soft, hazy ambiance, understated yet full of romance and ambiguity. This ambiguity isn't romantic, but rather a subtle interplay of color and light.

Furthermore, the lights here actually come in a wider variety of styles, with more variety in shape, content, and design. The unique feature of the high-tech lights is the brightness and colorfulness of the U-light, but in terms of form and design, they are actually quite simple. However, they look great for shooting videos and photos, producing stunning results.

During the day, the high-tech district is unremarkable, but the lantern district is vibrant and colorful. The lanterns come in a variety of colors and shapes, and even simple appreciation is enough to satisfy players.

At this point, some players noticed that many of the lantern vendors were also collecting materials.

Player vendors have no idea what the collected materials are for, but NPC vendors will clearly state that after collecting these materials, players can buy top-quality lanterns from them at a low price. They can even show players the lantern blueprints. Two sets of materials can be exchanged for one lantern, while luxurious lanterns require two or more sets of materials. The more materials required, the more beautiful the lantern design.

These were all lantern blueprints, and in ink sketches at that. StarCraft players accustomed to holographic design and information gathering found this style of blueprint unfamiliar; they initially saw only nice blueprints but couldn't imagine their beautiful transformation into lanterns. Therefore, few players went to collect materials on the first day, and some lantern materials were truly difficult to obtain. Players needed to search for special fabrics and papers in the Huaxia Jianghu region, and collect special bamboo from bamboo forests. They also needed to search for materials from pearls, gems, and treasure chests in rivers and lakes across various dungeons and areas, and collect mutated flower materials by planting flowers.

Yes, this event is also related to flower cultivation; many tasks require players to grow flowers or acquire materials for mutated flowers. While it could have been entirely based on planting like other games, Qingfengyi considered the needs of many wealthy players, non-farming players, and professional money-making players, so it included the option to buy flowers and materials. Qingfengyi is committed to maintaining the activity and freedom of its game trading system; sometimes, the freedom of trading is a game's greatest attraction.

Because the materials for special lanterns are difficult to collect, and few players are collecting them, no one has reported obtaining lanterns in the short term. However, there has been a lot of information about fireworks. Currently, there are three ways to obtain fireworks: opening treasure chests, obtaining them from NPCs, and purchasing them from the in-game store.

The store only offers very ordinary fireworks, such as "Good Fortune," "Prosperity," "Great Red and Purple," and "Skyrocket," which have relatively simple blooming effects. Of course, this is generally in comparison to the level of the China Super Fireworks Show.

There are many possibilities with NPCs. You might get good items, you might get ordinary items, you might get top-quality items, or you might even get scammed.

Yes, you might get scammed by an NPC.

Limited deception won't turn players into idiots; it will only leave them somewhat disappointed and experience a small financial loss.
