Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 15

"Refunds for the same product reduce your ranking. You're still in the top 500, but I've been reduced to 600. Waaah!"

"It's so beautiful! The room is filled with flowers, it's so beautiful, so beautiful!"

"Ahhh, rich lady! Can I add you as a friend and visit your house?"

"I want to plant flowers and become number one on the Flower Coin leaderboard!"

"Go for it!! Ahhhhh, here I come, beautiful bracelets and earrings!"

At this moment, the top streamer suddenly posted a picture in the chat channel, saying, "Men's items, look here, I've redeemed them all, next I'll redeem the women's items."

He only redeemed the bracelet; he hasn't redeemed anything else yet.

The men's bracelet has a more sophisticated design and a deeper color. It's split 50/50 with the women's bracelet, each accounting for 100. The one in the center of the last picture is particularly beautiful and translucent, with emerald green jade beads, a red carp pendant, and small gold tassels. This "Lucky Red Carp" bracelet is a couple's set. The women's version has pink jade beads and a red carp; the colors are much more delicate and bright.

Upon seeing this, the wealthy woman quickly took separate photos of the pair and posted them online, saying, "The streamer doesn't know how to cause trouble. How can she let a pair of bracelets be separated? Look, mine is the best."

A pair of bracelets sat in a black velvet box. The pink one was beautiful and alluring, cute and lively. The green one was bold and imposing. Both bracelets shimmered and sparkled under the light, absolutely gorgeous.

"Ahhh, rich lady, can we be friends? I want to be close to you and wear matching beautiful bracelets."

"Me! Me! Me! Me! Handsome and rich!"

"Tch, look at the pictures of me and my darling."

Both hands are shown in the photo; one has slightly larger bones and a wheatish complexion, while the other has delicate bones and fair skin. A pair of bracelets adorn their wrists, their fingers intertwined—a truly romantic sight.

"Wow~ I'm so envious I'm drooling. Anyone looking for a partner? I have a pair of bracelets here, but I'm missing a partner."

"Me! Me! Me! Me!"

"Me, me, me, me!"

........

"Tch, it's like a person can't hold hands tightly. (Image)"

In one picture, two hands are clasped together, one wrist adorned with a men's bracelet and the other with a women's bracelet. A closer look reveals over fifty bracelets, the most prominent being lucky red koi fish.

"My goodness, is the person upstairs a reincarnation of the God of Fortune? I've only caught a few flower fairies, and you've already bought a hundred bracelets..."

The game was bustling with activity. Players rarely left the garden, their eyes glued to the flowers. Whenever they saw a glimmer of light, they would rush over, grab a knife, and use a net to grab things haphazardly.

Lin Shuying's design of the Flower Fairy doesn't guarantee successful capture. Holographic games test players' physical abilities. Because the game incorporates the user's physical attributes, skilled and agile players can capture the fairies almost effortlessly. Players with unbalanced limbs and clumsy movements will be at a disadvantage.

Planting high-grade flowers increases the chances of encountering a flower fairy. Officially designed high-grade flowers are typically tall trees like plum blossoms, osmanthus, magnolia, and hibiscus. While a flower fairy appearing under a tree is fine, seeing one on the treetop is truly maddening.

Excessive gaming addiction triggered the holographic cabin's anti-addiction system, forcing players to take a short break.

During this period, they started frantically giving Qingfengyi negative reviews and uploading videos.

As a super talented game designer, I designed "Ten Star Battlefield," which has garnered over 30 million players and received continuous praise.

To learn about other designers' games, he would also browse new games. He recently discovered *Qingfengyi*, became instantly hooked, and even forgot to update his own game. He also subtly promoted his own players by posting videos on his account with 100 million followers.

The first video released today is titled "On the Evil of Game Designers, You Can't Even Imagine It," and fans started commenting the moment they saw the update, even before opening it:

"Oh dear, I've run into a wall again in Qingfengyi."

"I'm guessing he's not on the top spenders list."

"No need to guess anymore, there's definitely no mecha dad."

"I'm guessing all the Mech Daddy players have left, and they're crying their eyes out now."

"Tch, he's already switched careers to become a video blogger, and he only posts 'Qingfengyi' (a popular Chinese video sharing website). Mech Daddy, if you're so capable, why don't you update your game? I've killed that Insect King a thousand times already, are there any new bosses?"

"My mecha grand marshal, mecha daddy, are you trying to make me laugh to death?"

At this moment, the comments from the forwards had already floated over, and the video slowly started playing. You could see the mech of "I Am the Marshal" weaving through various tall trees and shrubs, searching for the Flower Fairy.

The beautiful flowers were incredibly pretty, and occasionally a gentle breeze would come and they would flutter down. The blogger, craning his neck to look at them, would sometimes bump into a tree, crying out in pain from his nose and his eyes turning red.

"Wow, our mecha dad isn't strong anymore."

"This is the first time I've ever seen such a handsome and beautiful man."

"The mecha dad looks absolutely stunning in this flowing outfit, so incredibly beautiful, especially with his teary-eyed expression... Ahhhh, I'm doomed."

"Oh my god, I'm pregnant."

"Aaaaaah, I got him pregnant!"

"...What shouldn't have been mixed in earlier?"

Crashing into trees is just part of the routine; catching the flower fairy is the real comedic essence. The blogger, upon seeing the flower fairy, instantly held back his tears, grabbed a net, and rushed forward. The net got caught on a plum tree, catching a basket full of blossoms that rained down on him. He pulled and pulled, finally managing to pull her down, but the flower fairy had vanished without a trace.

After finally solving the problem of the net getting stuck in the tree, they encountered another problem: being too slow and unable to catch the flower fairy, they were instead amused and frustrated by her.

"Hahaha, you're going to make me laugh to death."

"Haha, thank you, host, for letting me see so many beautiful flower fairies, and for ten minutes straight."

"I'm dying of laughter, Mech Dad, you need to work out. You're such a clumsy lazybones who can't even get your hands on Flower Coins."

"Ahhh, the flower fairy is so beautiful! How could the designer Qingfengyi create such a beautiful creature?"

"The designer Qingfengyi is a scoundrel. He can't keep such a beautiful fairy by his side. He gave her the seed and then left."

"I reasonably suspect that the mecha dad is reluctant to let the flower fairy leave, which is why he holds her for ten minutes each time, just to catch a few more glances at her."

"I think the previous part is the truth, hahaha."

Unharvested flowers on trees will bloom repeatedly and remain indefinitely, which is why I, the Marshal, can keep capturing them. He only managed to exit after the holographic pod's health system issued an alarm; he had captured a total of three flower fairies.

One person received a packet of chrysanthemum seeds, another received cosmos seeds, and the third received forsythia seeds. The first two are one-time use; one packet can plant approximately 200 square meters. Forsythia is a perennial vine; once planted, it will continuously bloom and yield flower coins.

I don't know if I'm lucky or unlucky.

Midway through the video, he got fed up and cut down all the trees, replacing them with shorter, easier-to-walk-through flowers, such as rapeseed flowers and zinnias. However, the spawn rate for these flowers was incredibly low; not a single one appeared after half an hour. In the end, he collected the flowers and replaced them with taller trees.

The screen was flooded with "hahaha" comments.

"Poor mecha dad, hahaha."

"It takes three hours for a level 5 flower to grow, and you can't speed it up. The blogger must be furious, hahaha."

"One thousand interstellar coins per person, recruiting people to help catch flower fairies, first come first served, currently planning to form teams of 50 people."

Wow, they're even advertising here now?

........

This isn't the only video that's gone viral online; there are quite a few others.

Among them, the blogger Mengdada's videos featuring her incredible luck are the most captivating, practically overflowing with good fortune.

She divided the garden into seven or eight sections and planted flowers of all five levels. She carefully calculated the probability of the flower fairy falling and meticulously included the statistics and results in the video.

Mengdada: "I counted the number of times the Flower Fairy dropped in five groups over four hours. Level 1 flowers dropped 1%, level 2 5%, level 3 15%, level 4 35%, and level 5 50%. Although level 5 flowers take longer to plant, once planted, they can stay indefinitely, saving a lot of time. However, level 5 flowers refresh the Flower Fairy very quickly, so if you're not fast enough, you won't be able to catch them all."

The video narration was added later. In the video, she skillfully wields her net, catching the flower fairy in a few swift movements. Even as the flower fairy hands her seeds, she still has the mind to play with the little fairy. The flower fairy is extremely annoyed, pouting and refusing to give her the seeds, threatening to fly away.

Mengdada grabbed you a second time, saying, "Now that I've grabbed you twice, you have to give me two packets of seeds."

The audience was stunned by this move. Could you even do that?

The flower fairy really did give us two packets of seeds.

After that, I used this method to rob different flower fairies and counted the results. Some flower fairies would give two packets of seeds, while others would beat people up and rob them of a lot of gold. The most I robbed at one time was a full three hundred gold coins.

Does it occasionally have negative effects?

With her face covered in bruises, Mengdada mumbled incoherently, "Don't threaten Fairy Wufa, it's really a pain to hit her."

This line wasn't added in post-production; it was recorded live.

The comments section was filled with "hahahaha".

"Is the blogger Dou Amu? He got hit more than fifty times. That's amazing."

"Haha, what a funny game this is! I want to play it."

"With so many kinds of flowers, what kind of game is this?"

"Gentle breeze, gentle breeze, eternal God."

"The gentle breeze carries the essence of beauty, which is its eternal pursuit. Flowers are the symbol of beauty, so how can we do without flowers?"

"The flowers in Qingfengyi are more realistic than those in the Holographic World Flower Shop, especially the smell, it's so real."

"Yes, yes, the flowers are amazing, they smell wonderful, and they're so beautiful."

"To be honest, the blogger's luck is about to take off. Why can't my statistics show a probability of this level?"

"The main thing is that the seeds she got were all so beautiful!"

"Ahhh, I've unlocked so many flowers again! I'm so envious. I've only unlocked three types so far, and the rest have been the same."

"I've only unlocked four types so far, I can't take it anymore, I've caught over a hundred flower fairies!"

"So this game is that fun?"

"It's fun, you won't regret getting hooked."

"No regrets once you're hooked."

"No regrets once you're hooked."

"No regrets once you're hooked."

.........

On Lin Shuying's side, four people came to apply: a post-production assistant, a finance assistant, and two assistants.

Assistants: Liang Ranran and He Mengqiu; Post-production: Zhang Zhongxia; Finance: Lu Yunzhi.

The first to arrive was Lu Yunzhi. Lin Qiaoqiao had been working on game data and item prices lately, and her head was spinning. Seeing her, she quickly pulled Lu Yunzhi in, asking, "Are you able to work now?"

Lu Yunzhi said softly, "Okay."

Wow, is this the recently popular "Qingfengyi"?

Is this person a designer?

She looks so beautiful in that form-fitting cheongsam and a warm yellow hat with two silk flowers on it.

Lin Shuying stretched and glanced outside, only to be startled by a blue striped figure. She hadn't been online or watching videos lately, having been engrossed in crafts, and hadn't seen any other bizarre striped figures. Seeing one for the first time was quite exciting.

"Qiaoqiao, take them to change their clothes and put their luggage away first."

"Okay, boss."

Lu Yunzhi asked in surprise, "Aren't you the boss?"

So gentle, beautiful, and elegant, it's unbelievable that the person wearing such beautiful clothes isn't the designer herself!

She walked in and looked in the direction of the sound. There she saw a beautiful woman with long hair, dressed in gray with mysterious floral patterns, leaning against a huge cushion. On her head was a pretty floral headband, with pink flowers and yellow-green leaves, spreading out like a flower fairy from a game.

"So beautiful~"

Lin Shuying looked at her with a smile, then immediately turned her head away; it was a bit of an eyesore.

"Thank you."

Lu Yunzhi blushed; it was so embarrassing to say thank you to such a beautiful woman.

Lin Qiaoqiao led the people upstairs.

The villa is now clearly divided into three sections: the first floor is a workspace, the third floor is a storage room, and the second floor is the living area. There is one bedroom on the first floor, which belongs to Lin Shuying; everyone else lives on the second floor.

The second floor hasn't been renovated yet; only the curtains have been installed, and Lin Shuying has been putting it off.

I plan to finish this current event and then start the renovation.

As a truly great boss, you must provide your employees with an exceptional working environment.

Before they'd even finished changing their clothes, the newlyweds arrived.

Lin Shuying had no choice but to get up and greet them personally. This time, two people came: He Mengqiu and Zhang Zhongxia. He Mengqiu was a girl, and Zhang Zhongxia was a boy; both were dressed in black...

"Hello, are you here for a job interview? Please come in."

Both of them felt suffocated for a moment, suffocated by the beauty.

Who is this?

Game designer?

It's so beautiful!

Exuding understated luxury, she was incomparably beautiful, radiant, and dazzling, like a fairy descended from heaven...

My mind is already in a mess; I can only randomly repeat words.

Lin Shuying asked with a smile, "Aren't you coming in?"

"Go in, go in!"

The two snapped out of their daze and shouted it out.

Lin Shuying laughed and stepped aside. The two dragged their suitcases inside, but before they had taken two steps, a noise came from outside, and a chubby little boy ran over, "I, I'm here, just a moment!"

This is the second assistant, Liang Ranran. Lin Shuying was dazzled by her.

Then a chubby guy covered in tiny floral prints rolled over. The floral prints were actually drawn quite well.

"Hello, are you here for a job interview?"

Aaaaaah, I want to gouge my own eyes out!

"Yes, oh my god, are you a designer? You look so beautiful. Do you make your own clothes? Can I wear them? I'll buy them no matter the price!"

Lin Shuying smiled and said, "Why don't we come in and talk?"

She's not the only one here; it's too lively and a bit awkward.

"it is good."

Just as I came in, they had changed their clothes and were coming downstairs.

Lu Yunzhi felt extremely uncomfortable; she had never imagined she could wear such beautiful clothes. The feel against her skin, the close fit, the texture, the sheer beauty—ahhhhh, she was breathless!
