Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 92

She also faced that predicament. When her work was not going well at first, many people advised her to change jobs, work a stable job, find a good man, and have a child.

The most common thing I hear is: "People need to be realistic. Dreams are something we talk about when we're in school. Who talks about dreams after entering the workforce? Dreams won't fill your stomach."

But when she thought of her love for hairpins and traditional costumes, she resolutely gave up the standard good life that everyone envisioned.

Finally, her parents supported her, and her dream took root and grew, eventually allowing her to build a wooden house filled with all her most beloved things...

Thinking of this, my eyes reddened slightly.

In this world, there are very few lucky people whose dreams come true and who remain rooted in their dreams for a lifetime.

Lin Shuying: "Come on, let's have a toast, for this complicated yet beautiful world! And for me too!"

Wu Cheng raised his glass and said heartily, "Cheers! May we successfully establish ourselves in this world!"

Lin Shuying stepped forward and said, "Okay! If there's a chance, we can contact other people. People from all over China want to get together."

“Okay, I’ll take care of this! When my planet is restored, I’ll leave a home for everyone. You’re welcome to come anytime.”

"Whenever it's convenient for me, Qingfengyi will reserve an advertising space for you."

Wu Cheng laughed and asked, "You're just giving me an advertising space? I've already promised you a mansion and permanent residency. No matter how many stars my planet becomes, or how much you contribute, you'll get permanent residency."

Lin Shuying rolled her eyes at him. "Didn't you sponsor several hundred million? What more do you want? That's a few small goals. Besides, if I live on your planet, you can't kick me out unless I leave voluntarily."

After Lin Qiaoqiao explained the science to Lin Shuying, Lin Shuying looked into it and found that no matter how many levels a planet upgrades, no one can force the inhabitants to leave if they don't want to.

Even the planet's owner won't do.

She has contracts and documents regarding her collaboration with Wu Cheng and her investment in Sweetheart Planet, so there's no way she can get rid of him now.

Wu Cheng feigned regret and said, "Alright, alright, this time I'll borrow your game, which will also give me a chance to rise up. As long as I get through this step, I will definitely be able to turn the tide."

"Yes, cheers! May our Sweetheart Planet Lord rise to invincible glory!"

Wu Cheng clinked glasses with her, and Lin Shuying thought of a question. She asked with a smile, "Why is it called Sweetheart Planet? It doesn't suit you at all."

"This is the name given by the original owner's parents, and I can't change it. The only time to change the name is when the planet is upgraded, but I'm still struggling on the path to becoming the planet's master."

"Haha, okay, keep it up, you'll succeed."

The two drank for over an hour.

Because the level of intoxication is uniformly set, everyone in the holographic world can get drunk, and since everyone's alcohol tolerance is about the same, the feeling of being drunk is also the same.

It felt numb and blurry, and I had a feeling of flying.

Actually, being drunk shouldn't feel like this; being drunk is unpleasant.

Wu Cheng muttered, "I told you the holographic world was so rigid. I can drink a thousand cups and I don't get drunk..."

Lin Shuying said, feeling dizzy, "That's right, the imitation of being drunk is not realistic at all. There's no feeling of nausea or vomiting. This feeling is too wonderful, it's unrealistic."

Most of the delicate mung bean cakes, yam cakes, and red date cakes on the table had been eaten, but two pieces remained.

The flavors inside the hologram were recorded from real-world pastries specially made by Wu Cheng. The tastes were much worse than those in his previous life, but they were more realistic.

This time, there are not only pastries, but also gourmet food. Baiweida sent us holographic scans of the actual products, and the taste is almost real.

Although the two of them found the food rather unappetizing, the interstellar person enjoyed it very much.

In a daze, Wu Cheng said regretfully, "We can never go back to the past."

Time travel is great for most people, but not so great for some. Reality isn't a novel where you can simply enjoy the simple pleasures without any complexities.

There are many dull pains of loss that simple pleasures cannot erase. It's a feeling that isn't unbearable, just a persistent and gentle ache.

Lin Shuying stared blankly at the misty night snow outside, feeling a little cold.

She laughed and said, "Wherever I am, that place is my past and my future!"

Wu Cheng smiled.

The two of them fell asleep on the table.

........

The players went crazy, setting up Xiaoyiju according to the decorations shown in the special effects video.

Surprisingly, everyone unanimously arranged for Xiaoyi Residence first, while the homestead in the instance was secondary, which surprised Lin Shuying.

In previous events, players rushed to participate in the main events first, but this time they're focusing on their homesteads first.

Since a garden was added behind Xiaoyi Residence, the wealthy people used cash withdrawal tokens to withdraw a lot of plum blossoms and create a plum blossom paradise.

All the plum blossoms in this instance can be cashed out; I cashed out several of each variety.

The food and items in the dungeon don't need to be withdrawn; you can bring them back as long as you buy them with real money. However, food and similar items have an expiration date. To ensure you always have something to eat, you need to befriend the God of Cookery and the Kitchen God. With the Kitchen God, you'll get a small kitchen, and the God of Cookery can help you cook.

However, he can only cook the recipes and dishes unlocked in this event. Therefore, players will need to go to restaurants and roadside stalls to taste various delicacies. Depending on the rarity of a dish, you can unlock the Chef God recipe by eating it once or ten times.

The God of Cookery doesn't need to put in much effort; he just needs to keep eating. As for the Kitchen God, he needs to collect Homestead Fragments, which will drop when you decorate your Homestead.

Whether it's decorating your own home or renovating your own home in a dungeon, it will drop.

You can also buy fragments at various stalls. After collecting a thousand fragments, you can synthesize the Kitchen God. The Kitchen God will give you a kitchen sketch. Players need to build the kitchen and decorate it according to the sketch.

Of course, players can also customize their own kitchens. The kitchens that players create themselves may be disliked by the chef and receive all sorts of criticisms, but this will not affect their use.

After the two become guest retainers in the player's home, the player can pay them wages and ask them to cook. Lin Shuying provides many recipes, and Wu Cheng provides snacks, while Baiweida Group provides real-world delicacies.

There are hundreds of dishes in total, enough to make three meals a day without repeating any dishes in a short period of time.

However, players need to buy the ingredients from the dungeon market, otherwise even the God of Cookery won't be able to cook it.

The more complex the dish, the more labor costs are required; players can decide for themselves.

This dungeon also features various vegetable seeds that players can buy and grow themselves. The Kitchen God and the God of Cookery will help manage the vegetables you grow, which is quite nice.

The garden is too small. We need to grow fish food, bird food, fresh grass, vegetables, and flowers. It's simply not enough.

Non-paying players absolutely must plant flowers, otherwise they won't have enough silver.

With more and more places to spend money in Qingfengyi, many people are starting to sigh as they look at their empty wallets.

A quick glance at this rare, out-of-print item—it can't be sold!

Hurry up and do some part-time work in the dungeon. Planting flowers and doing part-time work will definitely earn you a lot of silver.

Hardcore players started grinding, completing all five tasks in the event to the maximum limit. They could earn 100 taels of silver a day, which would be enough to buy most of the items in the event dungeons in a month. Combined with the money earned from planting flowers, it was just right.

If you work hard and keep running the business, you can make some money.

If you don't spend money, you'll get all the items much slower than others, but you'll save money.

The wealthy player had no worries at all, and the Grand Marshal took his wife on a shopping spree on the street.

"Honey, these earrings are so pretty! Ahhh, this clay figurine is so well sculpted~"

The clay figurine vendor chuckled, "Want to buy one? I guarantee it'll look incredibly lifelike. Only fifty coins a piece, it's a steal!"

Players can earn a commission from selling clay figurines. This hardcore player tries his best to sell to every player he sees, hoping to make seventy or eighty figurines so he can earn more silver.

Anyway, you don't need to sculpt the clay figures yourself; the system will provide them. All you need to do is talk to the players and promote them.

One way to make money from this activity is by completing tasks; these sales tasks offer commissions.

Those who do odd jobs at hotels can't get it.

In addition, you need to find a dungeon with a lot of people to do. Those less popular areas are basically empty, and you can only get a dungeon if you go there.

The Grand Marshal asked his wife with a smile, "How many do you want to make?"

The Marshal's wife smiled and said, "Just sculpt all the pictures I showed you."

This hardcore gamer glanced at the pictures she posted—more than two hundred in total!

"Okay, almost done!"

Big business!

The player next door immediately called out to the two, "I have delicious scallion tofu here, only five coins a bowl. You two can drink while you wait, would you like a bowl?"

"I have the latest jewelry here: bamboo leaf hairpins, 'Return Home' hairpins, enamel earrings, and wooden bracelets..."

Forgetting the official explanation, the player quickly flipped through the page and continued, "This wooden bracelet is made of high-quality sandalwood. It can help with sleep, repel insects, and promote health. Want one?"

"Roast chicken! Roast chicken! You can eat it in your hand while you wait! It tastes absolutely delicious!"

The Marshal's wife said, "I'll go buy fried chicken, and you go buy tofu."

"it is good."

The two sat at the tofu stall, eating and waiting.

The clay figures were quickly sculpted, each one only the size of a palm, and quite adorable.

The journal doll collecting game is finally here!

The Marshal's wife put everything back in her backpack and paid the money.

The players next to him were incredibly envious. "You did a great job! You must have made several hundred in one go, right?"

The clay figurine sculptor laughed and said, "Good luck, good luck."

Just then, another player walked by and wanted to pinch him.

The jewelry seller said enviously, "I'll have to come early tomorrow morning to take your clay figurine stall."

"Hey, I want to go grab some too, it's so popular. My roast chicken isn't good, not many people buy it."

Lin Shuying's strategy of having players engage in self-promotion is very sophisticated; the fully automated, super-intelligent NPCs are fantastic.

There won't be any situation where you'll get your brain fried from asking so many questions.

Players also have an excellent experience, and the process of trading with each other truly brings a unique joy of shopping that they've never experienced before.

There are also many new outfits in this update, a total of more than a dozen.

Clothing items need to be purchased from the store; they are not sold in the instance.

This update includes nine sets of outfits. Originally, there were only three sets, but due to circumstances during the shoot, she added two more.

However, the overall color scheme will not change; it can be all red, red and green, or red and blue.

The all-red men's and women's clothing features dragon and phoenix patterns, including straight-hemmed robes, jackets and skirts, and splendid shawls.

The men's clothing is all red with a plain red face, decorated with auspicious clouds, double happiness symbols, and two dragons playing with a pearl.

The woman wore a straight-hemmed robe with a dark pattern of gold lilies and auspicious clouds, trimmed with black, and a double-phoenix jacket, along with a phoenix coronet and embroidered shawl.

All-red is gold paired with red, black paired with red, but red is the dominant color.

The other two color schemes don't differ much in pattern, but the color proportions are different.

The overall look was very festive. Nine wedding outfits were displayed in the shop window, lined up in a row, which made many people's eyes light up and they bought them without saying a word.

Each phoenix crown is different; the phoenix crown is mainly worn by women.

The men's clothing included a hair ornament, equally luxurious, elaborate, and exquisite.

The Ten Phoenixes and Pearl Crown, the Lotus Flower with Upturned Tassel Crown, the Hundred Birds Carrying Flowers Crown, and the Red Gem Peony and Golden Phoenix Crown are all exquisitely crafted with intricate and luxurious designs.

Straight-hemmed robes are often paired with phoenix hairpins, phoenix hair ornaments, and small floral hair ornaments. A single hairstyle can be matched with seventeen or eighteen pieces of jewelry, which is quite luxurious.

Men's headdresses include ear caps, golden dragon crowns with necklaces, lotus and auspicious cloud crowns, ruby ​​mandarin duck crowns, and so on. Players can wear them according to the official combinations or buy them to mix and match as they like.

Just do what you like.

After buying several wedding outfits, the closets at home are now full.

There are also many simpler styles and more colorful garments, but the colors are very bright, and the overall look is very much in line with the concept of red clothing.

It exudes an air of luxury and feels very warm when worn, giving the impression that the fabric used is of high quality.

Men's clothing includes a red and gold tiger-striped jacket, a pink thick-lined round-necked robe, a dark red straight-hemmed robe, a blue satin round-necked robe, a fur-lined cloak in rose red, and so on.

The women's clothing included silver-blue jackets and skirts, red and green ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) paired with thick fox fur cloaks, and bright red floral embroidered dresses, each outfit exuding an air of opulence.

The distinctive features are not only the use of bright red and purple colors, but also various fur capes and cloaks.

Especially the fire fox cloak and black wolf coat; when Lin Shuying designed them, she almost couldn't resist making them into limited editions.

The fox fur on the cape is vibrant in color, with fine, soft, orange-red fuzz that feels incredibly comfortable against the face. The tips of the fur also have streaks of gold and black, making it exceptionally beautiful.

Needless to say, the black wolf cloak is made of greyish-red down with long, shiny black fur. It even sways as it moves, exuding elegance, grandeur, and domineering presence.

They were very generous with the materials, with the hem even extending ten centimeters, wide sleeves, and a tall fur collar. The front was also lavishly made, able to be gathered up when the arms were wrapped around, giving off a very prosperous look.

The store also has all kinds of hand warmers; hand warmers are really precious!

The most beautiful one is the pink jade plum blossom and bird design, round and cute, and can be held in both hands. It has a delicate feel and becomes warm after being heated with silver charcoal. If it gets too hot, there is also an adorable matching embroidered velvet cover. It looks like a must-have for girls in winter.

There are also many men's styles. The sandalwood peach-shaped hand warmer has the best temperament. The color is red with a purple sheen, and it has a jade-like feel. It also has a faint fragrance when you hold it. Unlike jade, it doesn't burn your hands. The temperature is very gentle on your hands.

This time, I've added the bags that I forgot about before!

I originally wanted to do a separate event for this, but since people in the interstellar community don't have a high demand for bags, I'll just include it in this event, along with lanterns, lucky bags, Chinese knots, rope braids, and the like.
