EBE Chapter 220
Chapter 220
The first page of the introductory textbook reads, "Thanks to the bravery of the Grand Marshal of the Mechs, humanity now has a safe living space..."
The Grand Marshal of the Mechs here isn't a single individual, but rather a succession of Grand Marshals. Every person who inherits this position is a hero to the interstellar people, and an object of their worship. Therefore, the fact that the Grand Marshal is holding a wedding again is known to the whole world. Major media outlets and the StarNet all sent personnel to the scene to broadcast the event live, and even many well-known internet celebrities and streamers were present to broadcast it live.
A wedding brought Qingfengyi to the level of a household name. From then on, Qingfengyi didn't even need to do any promotion or publicity, just event announcements and the like.
That's huge!
A wedding celebration for all the people of the galaxy! Even the players of Qingfengyi stopped playing the game and waited in the live stream to watch their respected and beloved Grand Marshal get married.
The live stream started up quickly.
Meanwhile, Tony from Barbie Fashion, upon learning of the Grand Marshal's upcoming wedding, quickly devised a holographic video of the wedding venue's layout and attire, which was then sent to the Marshal's residence. While it was relatively easy for his associates to access the Marshal's residence, it was even easier to reach the Marshal's wife. The video soon reached the Marshal's wife, who, upon seeing the newly styled wedding scene, thought it looked beautiful.
The pure white wedding dress was incredibly flowing, with a long, trailing lace veil that draped over the floor. The skirt flared out at the bottom, adorned with numerous pale pink roses. There was also a tiara, resembling a crown, adorned with sparkling diamonds.
She wore a pair of white lace gloves and white crocodile-patterned high heels. The model held a bouquet of red roses, adorned with numerous bows.
The man's attire was a black suit with subtle, dark blue mesh patterns, exuding understated luxury. He wore black leather shoes and a rose on his chest. A white Windsor knot adorned his neck, complementing the white shirt underneath, creating a gentlemanly yet refined look.
The ambiance was also beautifully decorated; the sharply styled Gothic church was pristine white, its windows adorned with vibrant stained glass. In the main hall, many chairs were occupied by a priest holding a Bible and the wedding vows, watching tenderly as the newlyweds entered.
The Marshal's wife looked at it again and again, and when she got home she muttered to the Grand Marshal, "Barbie's fashionable clothes are quite nice too."
The Grand Marshal laughed and said, "If you like, have someone come and make it."
The Marshal's wife shook her head and said, "But it's not lively enough, not bustling enough. I like it lively and bustling, so I really like Qingfengyi. The white-clad scene is indeed dreamy, but we're getting married, so it has to be very grand, with heaven and earth as witnesses, and our parents as witnesses."
As she spoke, she imagined the scene of "paying respects to one's parents, to heaven and earth, and to one's spouse," and her eyes welled up with tears of happiness.
Thinking of this, the Marshal's wife smiled slyly and said to the Grand Marshal, "Barbie Fashion sent us gifts for our wedding. I wonder if Qingfengyi has any gifts? Hehe."
If a designer directly helps with the planning, her happiness will increase by 20%!
That's no more. We've already reached a 100% limit; any more would be inappropriate.
Information about the Grand Marshal's wife was naturally of utmost importance, so Lin Qiaoqiao quickly ran over to ask Lin Shuying, "Boss, what kind of gift should we give for the Grand Marshal's wedding?"
Lin Shuying asked with a smile, "What gift should we give?"
Lin Qiaoqiao: "They used Qingfengyi's clothing and rituals, so we should give them something in return."
Lin Shuying thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll give them a complete process."
Qingfengyi has previously included wedding content; after all, she's released nearly ten red dresses, each one exceptionally beautiful, and they remain a highlight for clients visiting the Qingfengyi showroom. However, she hasn't released a complete wedding process yet, so how about creating a permanent instance? This instance would be open to both casual and regular players, essentially a wedding instance.
It is important to know that in ancient China, weddings were very grand, regardless of whether they were from wealthy or ordinary families.
Although free-choice marriages are rare, getting married requires a series of steps, including matching birth dates and times, exchanging gifts, the formal betrothal ceremony, the wedding procession, a grand sedan chair carried by eight men, and a long procession of red bridal gifts. Preparations alone can take several months. For those in a hurry, it might take more than a month; for those who aren't, a year might not be enough.
This is only for close relatives by marriage; it would be even more grand if the marriage were to take place far away.
Of course, this refers to wealthy families.
In Lin Shuying's previous life, many people admired traditional Chinese weddings, even though many said it was impossible in ancient times, that it was all fake, and that such luxurious clothing and resources simply didn't exist then. People preferred the style of the wealthy; in ancient times, such extravagance and grandeur were impossible. They preferred Western-style weddings, saying that any family could prepare a wedding with a strong sense of ceremony...
Barbara.
But why should we emulate ordinary people or the poor in ancient times?
It's not like we're short of money, nor is it like in ancient times when resources were scarce. This is the only time in your life you can indulge in such a grand and luxurious occasion. When else should you do this?
Thinking of this, Lin Shuying smiled and further refined the details of the Ten-Mile Red Makeup Street in the design space, making sure that every detail was perfect. Soon, the complete instance appeared, and this instance would be attached to the Matchmaker Temple instance.
In the game, the players finally completed the kite-flying quest. They returned home with a bountiful harvest of many items, quite a mixed bag.
There are beautiful kites, hairpins, boxes, bracelets, beaded bracelets, lacquerware, etc., among which the hairpins are absolutely stunning!
The hairpin is a set with a kite theme. The front crown is a swallow kite, carved with dragons and phoenixes. In the center is a phoenix with its wings outstretched, its tail extending to the swallow's tail. The swallow is black, and the phoenix is colored gold. There is a blank space on the swallow's wings, covered with a shimmering mother-of-pearl dragon, which is very beautiful and colorful under the light.
The crown is surrounded by downy feathers, giving it a dignified and luxurious appearance. Swallow wings and tails curve inward to form an embrace. In the center are two hairpins that can be inserted directly into the hair bun.
It can also be worn on the side or as a back brace, which is great.
There are also two blue butterfly kite hairpins. The butterflies are made of cloisonné enamel and glass, adorned with tiny colored gemstones. They are supported by springs, so the butterflies sway slightly when you move around. Below are tassels made of pearls and pink crystals; the tassels are not very long, making them delicate and graceful.
There are also three pairs of jeweled hairpins, each with a landscape painting on a piece of glazed tile. The themes of this trip—spring outing and kite flying—are both included in this hairpin set. Although the spring outing wasn't a typical one, but rather an exploration of many strange and mysterious places, those places are still beautiful landscapes with green hills and clear waters.
Finally, there is the back pressure, which is an interlaced hairpin. It is generally used in the place of a large hanging bun to fix the hair together to form a hair bundle or hair bun.
This is a goldfish kite, with a black background and golden-red carp.
The entire set was placed in an exquisite mother-of-pearl inlaid rosewood box, lined with a thin layer of white silk, which made the dark hairpin look extremely luxurious and expensive.
When players of the "Golden Jade Hall" (a server name) uploaded the pictures to the chat channel, everyone was incredibly envious and wanted to rent them out. In the end, Deng Yijun refused, refusing to rent them out. This is a perk for members of the "Golden Jade Hall"; if just anyone could enjoy it, would it still highlight the special status and privileges of the "Golden Jade Hall"?
The cabinet members unanimously approved of the cabinet leader's approach. Who wouldn't like to have something that others don't have and to make others envious of them?
Everyone likes it.
This event seemed rather bland, and with so many other events competing for attention, the response wasn't particularly enthusiastic. The most popular events were all sorts of strange dungeons, but the trigger rate for these dungeons is heavily reliant on luck. Some unlucky players went a whole month and a half without encountering a single one, eventually getting so frustrated that they spent their days flying kites in the grasslands.
When the streamer in bright red appeared later, some players' attention was diverted, and they left the current event to watch the excitement. By the time the news of the Grand Marshal's planned 'second marriage' completely drew players' attention away, and Barbie Fashion took advantage of the chaos to grab market share and create momentum, Qingfengyi fell slightly behind.
Fortunately, there are only a few days left until the end of the event.
On the day the event ended, Qingfengyi issued an announcement.
Players stayed up all night waiting, since Qingfengyi updates at midnight.
The sky was clear and the stars were few, the moon exceptionally round, bathing the world in a shimmering white light. Outside the window, flowers swayed and trees danced, birds chirped and insects hummed. The insects were the crickets and grasshoppers from the previous beast-fighting event; many of the players involved in the event kept them as pets. Some players, obsessed with beast-fighting, even kept a whole house full of them, their homes devoid of any decorative items, their shelves and cabinets overflowing with insect jars. All sorts of materials: jade, bamboo, wood, porcelain, lacquerware, stone—and that's just the materials.
Some players have built luxurious villas, three-story buildings, and small mansions with plazas and swimming pools specifically for their pets. After showing off these mansions in the world chat, other pet-fighting players saw them and rushed to buy them.
From then on, Qingfengyi had another job: building luxurious pet houses for fighting game players.
There are even people making horses, pandas, birds, and so on. Making large pets is a bit difficult, mainly because players don't have anywhere to put them.
The issue of insufficient player space has been raised for a long time, and new player homes still haven't been released. It's so frustrating!
While standing by the window of Xiaoyi Residence lost in thought, a yellow phoenix kite landed in the player's arms inside the window, with a letter attached to it.
This is the true purpose of kites – to deliver messages.
The kite is even more beautiful. The phoenix on it is exactly the same as the phoenix that appeared before, as if it were printed from a photograph. However, unlike the photograph, this phoenix is painted with a free and flowing ink style, with powerful brushstrokes and a strong atmosphere.
Players held onto the kites, reluctant to put them down, and expressed their joy in the world chat.
"Ahhh, it's been so long since I've seen the phoenix!"
"Waaaaah, it's been so long! You used to show up occasionally, but it's been months since I last saw you. Designer, when are you going to give me the phoenix?"
"Phoenix! Phoenix! Collect phoenix kites, add me if you're selling."
Players who absolutely adore the phoenix, and some even play the game solely for it, have started collecting phoenix kites. They're willing to pay any price to buy them all.
"They've already started collecting them? It's not even certain whether the Kite Breeze will be given to the players."
