Chapter 65 The God of Wealth Has Arrived, Come Quickly Pick Up the Money (Side Quest)
After thinking for a moment, Lin Shuying's mind drifted to images of Ru Hua and Dong Shi...
The space is only two hundred meters high.
After seeing the live performance, it was pretty good.
Checking the data backend, it seems that after the event ended, players who were in debt were frantically paying back their money. Revenue skyrocketed; it almost looks unreal.
Players who farm for gold ingots make up less than one in a million; everyone else chooses to spend real money.
The Star Trek players' spending power is just too much!
Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. They have nothing to eat or wear, so why wouldn't they invest their salary in games?
The recently revitalized restaurants are too expensive to afford, so I can only afford to buy some of Qingfengyi's clothes and accessories.
Thinking about it this way, Lin Shuying felt that she had done a pretty good job, at least the products had spread to thousands of households.
On the players' side, the chat channel was flooded with messages.
It's all about showing off rankings and reward items.
There are a million players who will receive reward items this time. If each of them posts a picture, it will be enough for many players to grind for half a day.
Some wealthy individuals bought up a considerable number of these items at high prices, posting dozens or even hundreds of photos at once. Even though they could have shown everything in one picture, they insisted on taking close-up headshots of all of them just to show off.
There's a kind of sulking feeling about who can post the most messages the longest.
With the items acquired, the encyclopedia entry was also unlocked.
Players felt a pang of regret looking at the reward items.
The rewards include carp-shaped glass lanterns, paper lanterns, wooden lanterns, carp-shaped fans, tea sets, tables, and benches. The tables, benches, and tea sets are only given to top-ranking participants, especially the tea sets, which are given in complete sets. Some tea sets, including teapots, saucers, and other tea utensils, amount to a total of twenty pieces!
There are three goldfish tea pets alone, a full three!
This goldfish won't die....
Although it can't compare to the first prize, I'm still very envious.
These things all come with explanations, and many players found them incredible after seeing them.
"My mecha grand marshal, how can such a small tea set have so many names?"
"People in ancient times had such leisure and refined tastes. Isn't it said that they didn't have advanced machines and relied mostly on manual labor? How did they have so much time to research and develop these things?"
"Wow, I don't understand it, but I'm very impressed."
"Designer, do you even know how to design? You were given a teacup, but there's no tea inside!"
"Exactly! I've been wanting to say this for a long time. Can't Qingfengyi release a food series? There are so many restored dishes recently, add them in!"
"Agreed, that way I won't have to go to the holographic world to taste it."
"Are you guys crazy?! This is a dress-up game, a dress-up game! Adding combat scenes is already insane, and now you want food too?"
........
The topic unconsciously shifted away from the central theme.
Although there are many prizes this time, the majority of them are from wealthy players from the planet Vega. They have plenty of money and want to collect them.
That's tough.
People like Sister Xunmei and Wang Nianzong, who made serious mistakes, didn't even make it to the bottom of the rankings.
Deng Yijun, relying on his cormorants and pelicans, still managed to get into the top 500,000.
I received a fan made of Phoebe zhennan wood.
The fan, made of golden nanmu wood with a water-like pattern, is very luxurious. When opened, it displays flowing golden water ripples. The texture is delicate and it feels substantial.
Currently, among all collectible items, only the Pixiu bracelet can rival it.
Wearing a round-necked robe with a squid design, carrying a small fan, with a black goldfish lucky bag at her waist and a string of Pixiu bracelets on each wrist, this outfit is perfect.
He exudes more of a carefree young master's air, but less of a江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the martial arts world) style.
Deng Yijun was very surprised that changing just a few small accessories could drastically change the style of the clothing.
It's truly amazing! No wonder the old saying goes, "Clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse"—it really makes a difference.
He quickly instructed his assistant to prepare a fan and outfit like this for him offline, so he could wear this outfit to the next wealth-flaunting event or to host one himself.
His assistant rushed to find a studio to customize it for him, but the fan he was holding might be difficult to make.
How could such a dynamic water ripple machine be designed?
Deng Yijun said, "I'll try my best to replicate the fan. If all else fails, I'll just wear my Pixiu bracelet."
The Pixiu bracelet in his hands has already increased in value to 100 million yuan!
No wonder so many people like to invest in restored antiques; the growth potential is simply irresistible.
Hahaha.......
Players went crazy all day looking at their newly acquired items, and were a little stunned when they saw Chang'e's last words while finishing up the video.
That means there's a sales event for Qingfengyi tomorrow!!!
He was so excited that he quickly went to calculate the money he had saved up during this period.
Since we can't buy it at the trade show, we'll have to snag it online.
It's so hard to get into Qingfengyi's exhibition. They've only allowed 5,000 people a day now, but there are hundreds of millions of people queuing up.
It's impossible to play, it's impossible to finish.
However, the ticket price remains unchanged, treating everyone the same.
The number of people in the queue is soaring, and the number of available spots is stagnant for so long; it seems like this is going to be a lifelong situation.
Many wealthy individuals have not forgotten the news announced by Chang'e. Their assistants have long been prepared to purchase rooms, help them with the purchase, and acquire the necessary equipment, ensuring that only one factor will influence the purchase at that time—speed of reflexes.
Just charge in without thinking.
There are far too few of them!
Soon, the next day comes.
Countless players have emptied their wallets and are camped out below Qingfengyi Studio's page, waiting for the auction to start live.
Unexpectedly, Qingfengyi Studio suddenly added five "buy now" buttons, with a large "36" on each button, which was very eye-catching.
Below are the prices for each hairpin; they are not cheap.
The lowest priced model, Xiangyun Baihe, costs 150,000 yuan per piece, while the most expensive model, Que Ling Hua Zhang, costs 580,000 yuan.
The price deterred many people, but there were still many wealthy individuals vying for it.
The entire stock sold out in less than a second during the online flash sale.
Many players were still browsing the pictures of the items they wanted to buy when the images went grayed out before they could even see them clearly.
"What's going on? I haven't even seen the picture clearly yet!"
"You're still looking at the picture? I just clicked without thinking and didn't even click anything."
"What kind of hand speed is that? Even the Octopus Insect Clan couldn't catch up."
"Ahhhhh, I got it! I'm so happy! Ahhhhh!"
"Ahhhh, I got one too! The Soaring Cloud White Crane is so ethereal, I'm going to keep it as a family heirloom!"
As those who managed to snag a bargain began to flaunt it, most of the people who missed out were incredibly envious.
Many people left comments saying that there were too few items and not enough to go around, and that Qingfengyi should hurry up and restock.
At this point, Lin Qiaoqiao instructed Zhang Zhongxia to quickly upload videos of herself wearing the product, videos of the finished product, promotional videos of various partner studios, and order links, making sure to capitalize on the buzz.
Players clicked on the video, which was very well made, but below it were repeatedly playing advertisements and purchase links for Qingfengyi's partner studio and company.
This move impressed many people, including the planet owner and the wealthy capitalists who follow Qingfengyi.
Is this really an appropriate action?
Lin Shuying was stunned when she heard Lin Qiaoqiao's marketing plan. Wasn't this just a product of her era?
She couldn't help but say, "Qiaoqiao, you're really talented! You deserve a raise."
In the past, Lin Qiaoqiao would have easily become the CEO of a listed company; she was incredibly shrewd in business.
Players are completely bewildered by this marketing campaign, but the links they've put up are undeniably attractive.
The frame is also surrounded by a glittering gold halo, which is both eye-catching and garish.
The partners were also very cooperative, showcasing their finest hairpins in the advertisements. Clicking into the shop revealed clothing and other accessories, ensuring customers wouldn't leave empty-handed.
The most expensive items inside are clothes worth nearly 100,000, while cheaper items include clothes and accessories worth one or two thousand, and even engraved rings worth one or two hundred interstellar coins. All of these are genuine designs authorized by Qingfengyi.
It's not as good as Qingfengyi in terms of workmanship, brand, and materials, but it's cheaper and not too ugly.
The design accounts for a large part of the overall effect, while the rest relies on the filter of a gentle breeze.
Most people don't have hundreds of thousands of dollars, but they can definitely afford to spend a month's salary if they really want to.
Especially with the initial stimulus of high-end custom sales, it's very easy to make impulsive purchases later on.
In less than an hour, Qingfengyi's profits increased by hundreds of millions.
Lin Qiaoqiao said proudly, "Boss, I helped you achieve the goal of money being just a string of numbers. What kind of reward do you want?"
Lin Shuying laughed and said, "We're giving out bonuses, everyone's getting bonuses."
Lin Qiaoqiao chuckled; she no longer needed the bonus.
Lin Qiaoqiao leaned closer and whispered, "Boss, is it really true that the Golden Phoenix can't come out? Just make one for me alone, and I promise I won't go out to show it off. If you're still worried, just restrict me from taking pictures, posting photos, or showing it off. I can only see it in the community, okay?"
Lin Shuying flicked her forehead as she approached, "Oh no, I'll give you a bonus and make you a new outfit. Also, to thank the players for their strong support, I've decided to be a generous spender and launch an event next month."
Wei Linwei immediately asked, "Boss, isn't this activity still unfinished?"
If people from ancient times and modern times could connect their thoughts, his mind at this moment would surely be filled with all sorts of complaints from programmers, planners, and overtime workers from his past life.
The weapon mechanics are incredibly complex, especially the numerical balance. The two of us were practically bald from exhaustion playing it; the two-month rush to finish it was incredibly stressful.
The boss wants to run two events at the same time?
He was a little scared!
That's way too curly!
I touched the hair on my head, and it seems like my hair growth has been slow lately...
Lin Shuying didn't expect that dealing with weapons would be so difficult.
Just now, she changed her mind.
Don't make things difficult for yourself or others. Since time is too tight, just postpone it.
"Let's move the 'Heroic Martial Arts World, Timeless Weapons' event to the sixth event. It's too difficult; we can't finish it in two months. Let's just do a small event to make do for two months."
The game activities in Qingfengyi have become routine, and it wouldn't be good to just drop them. Let's make something simpler.
The one she just thought of is super simple, hehe.
"The new event is called 'The God of Wealth Arrives,' come and grab some money!"
Forehead.......
The employees were stunned. Was the boss really planning to throw money around?
Lin Shu-ying genuinely wants to spend money to give back to the players.
Anyway, she has nowhere to spend her extra money in space. She can't fly warships or spaceships, so she can't just buy one and leave it there.
I don't have the ambition to buy a planet or anything like that.
Moreover, her ambition lies elsewhere; her goal is to make Qingfengyi's name resound throughout the stars and let the spirit of China sweep across the land inhabited by people!
"Linwei, quickly calculate the funds for Yunzhi. The budget is 80 million. 40 million will be distributed in the game, and the remaining 40 million will be from outside. Players will use the money they find in the game to exchange for items outside the game, with approximately 5 million items. Yunzhi, when you do the accounting, calculate it based on 40 million."
