Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 212

Viewers offered their opinions, noting that Qingfengyi currently has over two hundred hairstyle designs, some of which are limited edition or leaderboard rewards and not available to the streamer. However, she has most of the designs that can be purchased in the store or obtained through gameplay.

But after trying them all, none of them seemed to work. "No, they don't have that 'beautiful sister' vibe!"

At this moment, a viewer sent me a private message.

The streamer clicked on the link, and the player said she could help with styling and restore the NPC's hairstyle. This news thrilled the streamer, who quickly added the player as a friend and invited them over.

This player was very realistic. After coming over, he said, "It costs 100 to 100 gold coins to create a new look. Your look is a bit complicated and will cost 3,000 gold coins."

Gold ingots are nothing to streamers, but the condition is whether they are made for one-time use or permanently.

"Permanent?"

The player said, "It depends on the maintenance condition; there's a loss value."

He created removable, reusable hairstyles, similar to those sold in stores. However, player-made items are subject to wear and tear, unlike officially made items which are permanent as long as they are not destroyed. Even if this streamer takes it on and off seven or eight times a day, and is extremely careful, it can only be used a hundred or so times at most.

The streamer was delighted to hear that it could be used about a hundred times. Anyway, she wouldn't use it often; she would only switch it out occasionally when showing off, so it would be enough for her.

Soon, the hairstyle was restored.

This player is here to advertise, and to avoid being perceived as overcharging, he's explaining the process while creating the video. As one of the players who saves money, his goal is to accumulate the most money.

He's a new resident of Planet Aimor, just gained access to the game, and as a player who saves money, he desperately needs to become famous and make money. He's different from other players who save money to scavenge for event resources; he's just working. Currently, his skills are replicating hairstyles and hairpins. Complex hairpins are a bit difficult, but simple ones are manageable.

It's not about making it from scratch, but rather finding similar resources in stores to disassemble materials or components for production.

The wigs used in this project were made from hair disassembled from hair salons, and the hair ornaments were also made from disassembled hair ornaments from various salons. The client had to provide these raw materials and props; the technician only provided the technical expertise.

Saving money means you can't spend it; that's the essence. Otherwise, how can you manage?

Soon, the makeup and styling were done, and the anchorwoman looked even more beautiful after changing into them.

It was worth spending those three thousand gold ingots!

After seeing the outfits showcased by the streamer, many players rushed to search for secret realms, hoping to obtain more items. The trigger rate for these realms is quite low, and the items inside are often rare and unavailable—who wouldn't be tempted?

The triggering of the secret realm has caused the kite flying competition's popularity to drop again, with only 300-400 million players currently participating. Zhang Zhongxia detected the data anomaly and quickly reported it to Lin Shuying, wondering what adjustments might be needed.

Lin Shuying glanced at the data and was surprised to find that so many players were participating in the kite flying competition.

In her plan, it would be quite good if around 80 million players participated in the kite competition, so each reward, although it was a limited edition, didn't seem very high-end.

Zhang Zhongxia breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the data was not affected. Lin Shuying, seeing how nervous he was, said apologetically, "You can ask Wei Linwei and the others for a data threshold. I'll have them give it to you directly next time. Don't worry about data changes that don't exceed the threshold. Come find me if they do."

Zhang Zhongxia: "Okay."

In Lin Shuying's previous life, these matters could be directly discussed with the planning team. However, the situation with "Qingfengyi" in StarCraft is different. This is a game that Lin Shuying conceived entirely independently, and even the slightest change in design or concept requires her personal decision-making. The game design team is responsible for intelligent modules and data matching, as well as runtime testing, etc., and does not participate in the specific architecture and design.

Lin Shuying was distracted to check the game situation and was surprised to find that the probability of triggering the secret realm was so low!

There are hundreds of secret realms inside, many of which are testing realms based on mythology and cultivation systems. She is a little worried that the event will end before all the secret realms have been tested.

After a brief moment of anxiety, I quickly came up with a solution: the secret realm could be conducted as a daily activity, although the testing period would be a bit long. Qingfengyi could afford to wait; the scale was so large now that a slight delay wouldn't have any impact.

Another secret realm has been discovered in the game!

This newly discovered secret realm was unexpectedly found by a player searching for a treasure chest in the Huaxi Jianghu (江湖) area – truly an accident. Pearl oysters occasionally appear in the lake, one of the materials and items previously provided to players in an update.

The player spotted a brightly colored seashell underwater, impossible to miss. So they swam over and picked it up, unexpectedly triggering a secret realm?

Still a bit dazed after entering the secret realm, I stood dumbfounded at the spawn point, holding a seashell in my hand. The scene before me startled me so much that my mouth gaped open, and a mouthful of bitter water rushed into my mouth. After choking, I released my breath-holding technique while underwater, and water rushed into my nose.

He panicked a little and quickly pulled out a helmet to cover himself. This was a simple breathing device invented by players, which could extend his underwater time by about a minute and also help him stabilize quickly after choking on water.

Only after things stabilized did I have the mind to observe this place; it's truly magnificent!

He was surrounded by glittering gems, pearls, and corals, some of which were larger than his head. The luminous pearls illuminated the area, making it shine brilliantly and resplendently, its base colors a mix of gold and red.

He quickly turned on the camera function, then thought for a moment and enabled both live streaming and recording. Soon, the live stream room, tagged with "Qingfengyi Secret Realm," was flooded with players and viewers. Everyone was surprised; one amazing secret realm had just ended, and now another one was appearing?

"Haha, I was just saying the probability of triggering the secret realm this time was so low, but I didn't expect to get one."

"Oops, the buffering is a bit slow. The comments have already passed, but where is the video?"

The streamer is still adjusting the camera feed. The live stream is set so that the feed won't be broadcast while the camera is being adjusted, which is to prevent the streamer's privacy from being exposed.

After adjustments, a strikingly opulent scene of wealth came into view—it was simply too luxurious!

"Ahhh, my eyes, they're so sparkly!"

"My great mecha marshal, what was the designer thinking? How could they come up with such a magnificent scene?"

"Ugh, why does it feel both tacky and luxurious?"

The streamer opened the system's secret realm notification and began to explain: "This is the underwater dragon palace secret realm. There's good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear?"

The viewers didn't bother interacting with the streamer; their eyes were glued to the screen.

"I want to decorate my home like this."

"I want one too. It's so luxurious. Just looking at it makes me feel like I'm going to get rich."

"Any home renovation designers available? I'm willing to pay a high price to hire one; this is how I want my home decorated."

There are many home designers in Qingfengyi, and they're taking notes rapidly, observing intently, wanting to memorize every single detail. How many players will come to them to build and decorate their houses?

Just thinking about it makes me feel like gold ingots are falling endlessly, and I'm afraid I won't be able to catch them all.

The Dragon Palace is a crucial map design in the mythology side quest gameplay, and it's very large. It occupies only a small portion of the ocean map; Lin Shuying didn't include the entire ocean map because current technology doesn't allow for the effect she wants. However, it will be soon; once the game platform integrates with the holographic world technology, it will definitely be possible. Currently, the game platform is still in talks with the holographic world's official team to determine which technologies can and cannot be released.

The Dragon Palace is very ornate, without any roofs or pavilions. There are only many areas separated by various coral partitions, and each area is clearly defined for its purpose.

The player landed in the reception area, where a luxurious dragon throne stood before them, inlaid with numerous gems and mother-of-pearl. The throne's base was made of gold, with a gleaming blue gem at its center. A table made of the same material sat before them, laden with enamel-painted wine jugs, plates, cups, and other items, the plates also adorned with delicious seafood and fruit.

Players were very curious: could this really happen underwater?

Won't these foods be washed away by the water?

He chokes when it comes to water!

I can't speak yet.

He immediately sought help on the world channel: "I'm in the water, what should I do if I'm suffocating?"

I've only seen the beginning, what should I do?

The world chat was flooded with replies: "Let's team up, let our teammates go and take the spots!"

Players quickly tried to invite friends to team up, but unfortunately, the system prompted: "Players are currently in a secret realm and cannot team up across realms. Please do so in advance if you wish to team up."

"No, we can't form a team after entering the secret realm. We can only form a team in advance and come in together."

"Oh no, what do we do?"

The streamer is also very anxious!

One player replied: "Logically speaking, if the designers created this kind of secret realm, they would definitely give out some kind of item that allows you to stay in the water for a long time, right?"

Upon seeing the message, the streamer frantically searched his surroundings, now truly relying on his endurance to hold his breath, his face turning bright red. His health bar was rapidly depleting; he was about to die.

I searched around but didn't find anything.

The player who mentioned the item continued, "I guess normally players wouldn't need to enter a secret realm to obtain this kind of item, since many people can't swim. The designers must know about the 'Golden Jade Abundance' event, so the item is something you get before entering the secret realm, and it's very likely something that triggers the secret realm."

"The person upstairs is right!"

"That makes a lot of sense."

"Wow, another amazing player! Hey pro, can you carry me?"

.......

Upon seeing this player's comment, the streamer immediately thought of the pearl shell he had obtained when he entered the game.

After taking it out, you can't let it breathe freely in the water. Inside the shell is a pearl, about the size of a thumb, round and slightly pinkish. Upon touching the pearl, the system prompts: "Water-repelling pearl; holding or swallowing it allows you to breathe underwater." This item only has a special function in the Mythical side quest.

He was a little surprised; this annotation was quite interesting, especially compared to the annotations for the secret realm. He couldn't think of any more details for the moment, so he decided to share it in the world chat for everyone to think about. He needed to focus his energy on this secret realm and explore it thoroughly.

He took a screenshot of the system notification and sent it to the world chat, saying, "This is the secret realm annotation. Take a look and see if there are any hidden messages."

After sending it, he focused entirely on typing "baby," hehe.
