Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 88: Decorated with Lanterns and Colorful Red Attire (Side Story)

Wu Cheng laughed, "If we could keep people in place, do you think we'd let transmigrators come to a third-class star? The competition for people and resources between planets is fierce, and hegemony is absolute. I'm actually the lord of a planet that's about to become a wasteland; I'm practically worthless. It's better to use people who are easier to control, or even our own people, for transmigrating. But this is just information I got from my trip back to my main family; I don't know much else. That's why I'm so eager to develop my own power so I can deal with any unforeseen events in the future."

The unpredictability aspect reassured Lin Shuying somewhat; at least it wouldn't come and go as it pleased. She didn't want to spend years working hard, accumulating countless assets, only to have everything she created vanish in an instant when an interstellar traveler activated their portal.

Losing money is one thing, but the real fear is that things have changed and you have to start all over again.

"I see. Good luck."

It's still a bit of a regret that I can't go back.

........

After the auction, a lot of money was raised, and Lin Shuying, out of consideration for their fellow townsman, still sponsored him with several hundred million. She figured taking a 10% stake would be good, in case her fellow townsman's business prospered and she could seek refuge with him.

While Wu Cheng was here, he made a lot of pastries. Xia Chunqi helped him record the aroma and various physical data of the pastries, and then imported them into the game design.

The import process was quite professional. Lin Shuying has a professional game designer like Wei Linwei on her side, so it's not a problem.

She then began creating the main event content.

The event began with a heavy snowfall, creating a beautiful scene where women in lovely clothes played and frolicked in the plum garden. The scene then moved to a small courtyard where families, young and old, gathered to enjoy pastries and admire the snow.

Then, let's move on to celebrating the holidays, gathering together, and having a new year, a new home, and a new look – it all sounds wonderful.

There are also lantern displays, riddles, and lantern releases during the Lantern Festival—these wonderful festivals are so beautiful and lively.

I don't know when it will become a phenomenon that everyone can only see on TV; I can't say whether it's good or bad.

The concept of rhythm always causes many things that evolve slowly to be left behind.

Oh no, at a time when she misses her parents, she's organizing this kind of family-oriented activity. Her eyes are a little sore, and she covers them with her hands, taking a long time to recover.

Pick yourself up, keep working on it, and make sure you create the bright red decorations you envision.

The entire cutscene was filmed with live actors, without any animation, capturing the most authentic scenes.

After the scene was finished, she went to Lin Qiaoqiao to ask for people. Soon, more than forty people arrived. Lin Shuying was a little stunned. So many people?

Everyone went directly to Lin Shuying's little house in the holographic world. The house was too small to fit everyone, which was a bit awkward.

Lin Qiaoqiao: "Do we need so many people?"

"No, more is fine too. Linwei, how do we get them involved in the game design section?"

Wei Linwei: "Wait a moment, I'll open the passage."

Soon, a passage appeared in Lin Shuying's house, leading directly to Lin Shuying's game design area. However, these people entered under assumed identities, thanks to the game platform's specially designed live-action CG feature.

Lin Shuying picked up the camera and started filming. Her filming skills were quite good; in her previous life, she had always done all the filming herself.

"Scene 1, meeting in the snow... You two, are you a couple?"

She randomly pointed to two people standing next to each other, and the two awkwardly moved a little distance apart, then sat next to the people next to them.

Lin Shuying glanced at the two young ladies, while the two young men silently swallowed, "Ah, hahaha, then..."

She prepared clothes for both men and women. What am I going to do?

"Wait for me for half an hour, I'll go and prepare another set of clothes."

It seems I need to prepare all sorts of matching outfits next time, instead of just based on romantic relationships.

She quickly came up with two outfit ideas.

"Ladies, please come first and change into these clothes."

The two happily took the clothes into the dressing room. These clothes are so beautiful!

The styles are almost the same, except one is all pink and the other is all red.

The outer garment was a plain white fur-trimmed cloak with a large hood. Inside was a front-opening jacket with fur trim and a plush finish, featuring auspicious cloud patterns on the front and an embroidered patch of plum blossoms in intertwined floral designs.

The inner garment has a subtle floral and butterfly pattern; the red one is actually yellow, and the pink one is white.

The narrow cuffs, with a long fur trim, can conceal the wrists.

The skirt is a thick velvet pleated skirt, and the red color is a deep tomato red. It's embroidered with a pattern of birds frolicking in the forest and carrying flowers, and it's paired with embroidered high-heeled boots.

The pleated skirt has several layers, and there are also fluffy pants underneath to ensure you stay warm in winter.

This instance features a very cool snowy winter scene, with wind blowing snowflakes, cheeks turning blush from the cold, eyelashes fluttering, and crystals hanging from their tips.

The hairstyle features double buns, red makeup, and a red plum blossom and magpie hairpin. Two small blue butterfly combs with tassels adorn the sides. A circle of fluffy rabbit fur embellishes the earrings, which are fluffy little rabbit earrings with a green teardrop-shaped pendant hanging below.

She replaced her bracelets with rope bracelets, featuring red plum blossoms and pink peach blossoms.

"The one in the pink dress, just play in the plum garden as naturally as you want."

Lin Shuying picked up the camera and started directing the filming, but everyone was so captivated by the beautiful scenery that they didn't react for a moment.

When this scene appeared, a vast expanse of plum blossoms emerged, and a thick layer of snow fell from the sky, covering the ground. Each step was a struggle, the snow crunching and creaking.

The plum blossoms were covered by white snow, appearing and disappearing. After the wind blew, the branches swayed, and colorful blossoms were scattered all over the ground, revealing plum blossoms.

Red plum blossoms smile in the snow, their white petals peeking through the ice.

It's not just red plum blossoms; there are also yellow wax blossoms, dragon blossoms, jade butterfly blossoms, pink palace blossoms, and so on, each with its own unique charm.

So beautiful!

Lin Shuying had no choice but to wait for everyone to enjoy the performance for a minute before calling for filming again.

The girl looked a bit silly after entering the snow, just staring at the plum blossoms, completely lacking the liveliness Lin Shuying wanted.

She stepped forward and said, "Watch me perform it once, and then learn from me."

She walked in the snow, initially admiring the flowers, and couldn't resist reaching out to pick one. As a result, snowflakes bounced off the branches and landed all over her head. She couldn't help but laugh, and her silvery voice sounded very pleasant in the empty world.

Then he got the urge to play in the snow. He reached out and grabbed a handful of snow from a tree and threw it into the air. He lifted his face, and the hood of his long fur cape fell off, revealing his beautiful hair ornaments, cheeks, and a pair of bright, surprised, and sparkling eyes.

A tiny ice crystal clung to her eyelashes, and the mist from her breath floated up on it, swirling and hazy...

"Got it? Follow my movements and act naturally. You must express that natural state of joy at seeing snow and tenderness at playing with plum blossoms."

"I'll remember, I'll remember."

This is so moving!!

The girl began her performance, and it took three or four hours to film a scene that satisfied Lin Shuying.

We spent half a month working on the cutscenes!

Fortunately, the design work was completed quickly, otherwise this event would have been canceled.

Players had a very fulfilling two-month transition period, as there was so much content left by the game "Huaxia Jianghu," and many of it was quite fun.

Testing weapons can take ten days to half a month, let alone choosing the kung fu system and profession to learn.

These weapons have their own attributes and uses, which are profound and difficult to grasp in a short time. The professions are even more diverse, with too many to choose from, and some skills are simply too difficult to learn.

The martial arts manuals, equipment, and items obtained during the event, once compiled, astonished many players.

The chat channel is full of people showing off their props.

"Brothers, watch my Rain of Pear Blossom Needles! (Video)"

In the video, the player takes out a weapon that looks like a dust cloud, and when it's fired, it shoots out a dense barrage of needles that embed themselves deep into the garden trees, making them difficult to pull out.

"That's nothing, Juque is the eternal god, hehe. Watch me perform a martial arts routine, a newly learned move, this move comes from Linghu Chong! (Video)"

The player was wielding a greatsword bound with chains. With the chains wrapped around his wrists, he vigorously swung the greatsword, hacking wildly at the trees in the garden.

"Upstairs, that NPC doesn't use greatswords, so yours doesn't match at all."

"Let's watch my exact same swordplay video instead."

This player took the same sword as Linghu Chong and practiced his moves for a while, even diligently doing a somersault, though not very gracefully.

"Hey, you've got a sword, but your kung fu isn't as good as the guy with the giant sword."

Besides showing off their weapons and practicing martial arts videos, the players' hearts are pounding when they fight.

The arenas in each district are basically full every day, and many players who can't get a spot go home and ruin their own trees.

He's about to become the king of tree felling.

The NPCs in the dungeon also line up to fight groups of players one-on-one. These players, unable to win, like to resort to dirty tricks. For example, they might use a net to trap someone, and then swarm down to attack them.

The NPC was killed several times and then refreshed.

As long as you don't attack any NPCs with white names in the dungeon, you'll be fine.

However, this kind of gameplay is a bit low-class. When Lin Shuying was designing it, she conceived a hidden plot to prevent NPCs from being ganged up on and surrounded by props.

The NPCs reach their maximum combat strength when there are more than twelve people ganging up on them, which is also the maximum number a player can team up with. Beyond this limit, the NPCs become less challenging, and players will certainly not have enough fun fighting them.

In addition, using siege engines, large rocks, nets, etc. to smash or capture NPCs will activate anti-gang attacks and anti-siege hiding mechanisms.

After all, she's a hero she designed herself, so she won't allow players to harm her maliciously. Being defeated in a one-on-one fight, or even managing to defeat twelve NPCs, is a testament to the player's skill and is perfectly reasonable.

But going too far turns into abuse and unfair challenges, which is unacceptable.

The players don't care about her, but she does!

They're all treasures! She prefers players to get tortured, hehe.

This wasn't updated in the announcement; at least she believes no player would be so bored as to actually use dirty tricks to abuse NPCs.

However, this plot point was quickly revealed...

It even became a huge hit on StarNet, and at one point became a viral sensation.

Countless players began teaming up to explore hidden storylines, finding endless enjoyment in challenging the Ranger.

On this day, a group of players organized more than a dozen teams to control a dungeon area.
