Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 120

After clicking, the following is displayed:

Creator: Lin Shuying.

Date: [Year] [Month], the fourth year of the Qingfengyi Chronicle.

No.: 2

......

Below are the prop components. When all the components are complete, the component number is green; when the components are incomplete, the missing one is red.

Deng Yijun tested it and found that as long as the components are separated by more than ten meters, a red missing label will appear.

This setting is actually pretty good; it makes it easier for players who leave things lying around to find them.

Especially for players who like to scatter their items around in various homes, now that there are four homes scattered around, it's really hard to find them.

In addition, if any components are missing in the future, you can take them to another seller; as long as they are close to green, it means they are genuine.

The muscular man stared in disbelief, "This, this, this!"

This is a permanent tag that ensures the item's value!

Other labels may be imitated and altered, but Lin Shuying's is very difficult to imitate because the signature is very unique.

The signature is in seal script, seemingly composed entirely of horizontal and curved lines, but actually contains the three characters "Lin Shuying". Overall, it resembles a Taotie, with a lifelike and intricately detailed beast head, making it difficult for others to imitate.

Deng Yijun raised a finger: "Shh!"

The tag on the clothing is very small. At first glance, it appears white, but upon closer inspection, it reveals vibrant colors that change hue under different lighting. Upon closer inspection, the flowing lines of light connect to form the three characters "清风意" (Qingfengyi), and overall, it resembles the logo of Qingfengyi.

The content inside the tag needs to be clicked to see, and it's not easy to click. Normally, casually touching it won't have any effect; you need to touch it multiple times carefully, as it seems to be triggered by probability.

The designer also cleverly hid the labels in various corners, such as in the gaps of the clothes and in places with many folds.

Furthermore, even if you discover it, you rarely think of this.

Those who aren't collectors don't really pay much attention to these things.

However, Deng Yijun discovered it, and as a top collector, he quickly realized the value behind it!

Lin Shuying also considered this point when she designed this. It's the same principle as how a blue and white porcelain bowl from the Qianlong Emperor can sell for millions of dollars, while ordinary people would think that a blue and white porcelain bowl costing ten dollars is too much.

This was added later; rare items are becoming increasingly expensive, and she's worried about cheats, viruses, hackers, and the like.

I don't know if StarCraft has it, but it's always good to be prepared, so I specifically bought program encryption for this purpose.

This encryption isn't for preventing cracking or anything like that; it's simply recording the process of a program item being modified. This type of program is non-invasive, extremely stealthy, and best suited for this situation.

Her goal was to preserve evidence that could verify the authenticity of the goods, rather than to prevent counterfeiting.

Counterfeiting cannot be completely eliminated.

After showing the chest muscles to the man, Deng Yijun put her clothes away.

"Now that you know my information, we're on the same team. It'll be a pleasure working together."

The muscular man laughed, "It's a pleasure doing business with you!"

At this moment, Deng Yijun's assistant asked resentfully, "Boss, can't I join your plan? I haven't had anything to do lately."

The boss doesn't even ask him to do things when he's looking for outsiders to collaborate with; it gives him a feeling of being abandoned.

It's heartbreaking that he only found out about such a big thing after the results were in. Even though it might be nice to get paid less and do less work, it doesn't mean the boss has forgotten about you.

Deng Yijun said, "You need to attract attention outside; I can't be high-profile right now."

I don't know who he offended. He was doing things in a very low-key manner, but everyone still liked to harass him.

It's so frustrating; the more I try to keep a low profile, the more attention I attract.

"Sigh, it's so hard to keep a low profile, it's really so hard. If you weren't out there drawing attention, I probably wouldn't even be able to leave the house."

If you need to go out now, you should disguise yourself, preferably by wearing a bamboo hat and a veil. Disguise is the only martial arts skill Deng Yijun has learned in China, and it's an NPC skill called "Thousand-Faced Gentleman".

Very practical.

Now he disguises himself as someone else, with an ordinary-looking face.

The assistant and the muscular man were also disguised; Deng Yijun helped with the disguise.

The assistant whispered, "Boss, I don't think they'll recognize you like this, so don't worry."

Deng Yijun remained silent; the assistant was oblivious to the treacherous nature of the world.

Over there, the next ranking list is, as expected, the wealth ranking list.

The wealth here isn't measured by how much you spend in-game purchases, but by your total assets. Assets are calculated based on 100% non-purchased assets, 20% purchased assets, and 60% traded assets.

Therefore, hardcore players have a 100% chance of making the list. Both trading and non-recharged assets can be accumulated as long as you log in and diligently complete tasks. Trading, in particular, is a very fast way to accumulate wealth by specifically seeking out resources to trade during the event.

The special effects of this ranking list are different from the previous dress-up ranking list. When this one appears, the entire Yaochi is raining red envelopes.

The red envelope is bright red, with a double happiness symbol on it and a border of magpies entwined with plum blossoms.

Interspersed among them are many gold ingots, silver ingots, copper coins, pearls, and gemstones. The pearls and gemstones can be collected and used as materials.

This was something Lin Shuying added after she learned that players were messing with the props she designed. It's a perk for players to create their own content, but there aren't many, and you can only get a few during events.

You can't give out too much of this kind of material, otherwise it will interfere with the sale of items.

The players craned their necks and stretched out their hands to catch the objects, and quite a few hit their faces.

One of the team leaders had a flash of inspiration and quickly called on his teammates to spread out a net and occupy their airspace. Everything that fell down was put into the net.

The net bag was made from the gauze curtains on the princess's bed, and the holes were small.

With its multi-layered construction, you don't have to worry about it breaking if you put too many things in it.

Other players exclaimed how clever it was, but since few of them had nets, they didn't know where to start.

"Take off your clothes! Take off your clothes!"

"Don't take them off, just grab each other's clothes!"

In a short while, the players sitting below formed a tight group, and no matter how the items were divided, they just grabbed whatever was next to them.

One of the most formidable geniuses unleashed nine hundred pearl birds and four hundred pelicans. Instantly, they dominated the entire sky. As the props fell, the pearl birds swooped down to catch them and tossed them into the pelicans' beaks.

A pelican is assigned five or six pearl birds, while the rest travel back and forth between the owner and the road.

These birds are Deng Yijun's pet birds. At this moment, he is standing on a tall pillar in Yaochi, with a giant eagle and five bamboo fairies guarding him.

As soon as this person appeared, everyone immediately understood that it was that rich player with the most outrageous moves.

Deng Yijun's assistant and the guy with the big chest were dumbfounded. The three of them were just discussing things together when, less than three seconds after the red envelopes fell from the sky, Deng Yijun quickly released a large flock of birds!

The Fairy of Green Bamboo wrapped her arms around his waist, and a ribbon was flicked out to tie to a pillar that was relatively far from the crowd.

The birds began to bring him their treasures one after another.

The players below all turned to look at him. He had swept up almost all the items, with only a few dropping down.

This is utterly hateful!

Lin Shuying was also stunned. Who was this guy?

The birds have been completely ruined!

The special effects and the red envelope giveaway only lasted a minute, and time passed quickly, leaving only a mess of bird feathers.

Deng Yijun quickly fled, then quietly returned with a different face.

When he returned, only a group of players with eyes full of excitement were looking for him, eager to see each and every one of them.

“Take off your hats and veils, everyone! Those who dare not do so are the ones who have to clear the field!”

"Quickly lift the veil, we need to see!"

"Why should I? I won't!"

Some players are renowned figures in the martial arts world of China, with countless enemies, and dare not remove their veils.

Deng Yijun then pretended to shout, "These are special times. Everyone take one look and then disperse, and then come back later!"

The guy with the big chest muscles said naively, "Learning that skill from your boss would be the icing on the cake!"

Most of the items that dropped this time were divided up again...

The assistant said, "He searched for a long time; he's very shrewd. I didn't even know when he bought four hundred pelicans. He never had so many before; there were only about a hundred."

Over there, Wang Nianzong, Sister Xunmei, and a group of nouveau riche arrived. Wang Nianzong grabbed his assistant's hand and asked fiercely, "Where is that bastard now?"

The assistant said innocently, "I don't know..."

Chest Muscle King: "How did you guys find us?"

Weren't they disguised?

The assistant glanced at the chest muscle tycoon, who had already regained his original appearance. Only then did the chest muscle tycoon notice that the assistant had actually recovered his looks!

That was fast! I was so shocked that I didn't even notice.

"When did he do that? That's amazing!"

Assistant: "That's just how the boss is; he rarely does things he's not sure about."

Sister Xunmei snorted coldly and turned to continue her search.

Outside, Lin Qiaoqiao asked worriedly, "Boss, won't this chaos affect the progress of the event?"

Lin Shuying snapped out of her daze and said confidently, "No."

Just as everyone was in chaos, busy searching for Deng Yijun who had intercepted the prize, the golden light on the leaderboard stopped flashing. Then the screen opened, and the God of Wealth appeared, smiling as he handed a golden toad to Deng Yijun.

The golden toad has coin-like patterns on its body, with the patterns being reddish-gold, while the rest of its skin is gold. Its eyes are made of top-quality cat's-eye stone and are very sparkly.

A twisted gold chain around her neck, and a pair of white icy cabochon rings on her hands.

The bracelet on her foot is set with royal green jade, and the tongue is carved from red jade; it's very beautiful.

He exudes an air of nouveau riche.

This money toad is a bound item, just like the koi fish.

It has special skills: the owner's probability of gaining profit from each transaction increases by 1%, and the probability of paying out decreases by 2%. Harvesting flowers will have a chance to drop an extra copper coin, harvesting crops will have a chance to drop an extra product, and searching for resources in the wild will have a chance to yield an extra profit.

The probability is related to the toad's mood, ranging from 1% to 20%, and the mood is designed similarly to that of a koi fish.

After seeing the prize, everyone was extremely envious. "Ahhh, designer, this person is already number one on the rich list, and you're still giving them money!"

That's going too far!

Lin Qiaoqiao also felt that the prize was inappropriate. "Boss, wouldn't adding wealth to wealth create an imbalance?"

Lin Shuying: "Don't forget, I'm a big fan of the costume changing section!"

This toad has pretty good skills, provided you can get its mood down to 20%.

Even 10% is not bad.

Many of the items in Qingfengyi are very cheap, and the slight improvement they provide is negligible. Even the most expensive home skin, which costs around 100,000 gold ingots, only reduces the stats by 2%, which is 2,000 gold ingots.

If you do the math, it's only two interstellar coins, which isn't much money at all.

But the players are excited, and since it's not their own, they can naturally see the good side.

Upon discovering it was Deng Yijun, he became even more enraged. "Aaaaah, it's that invincible strategist again! Does he want a beating?!"

"I challenge you to a one-on-one duel. Hand over the items you just looted!"

"You do not deserve!"

"You do not deserve!"

Deng Yijun didn't dare to take out the toad she had just received, but secretly hid in the crowd and occasionally shouted along.

What's wrong with this group of people?!

He's already been so low-key, yet people still keep causing him trouble...

Lin Qiaoqiao: "Boss, this nonsensical way of getting props feels like it will disrupt the game's balance."

Lin Shuying: "It's okay. I think what would disrupt the game balance is the imbalance of basic data. The tricks that players come up with themselves are so interesting, how could they disrupt the game balance?"

This is different from the exploits used in the past. This isn't exploiting vulnerabilities; it's an innovative way to play, and it should be encouraged.

"One more thing, there is no shortage of resources in Qingfengyi. As long as you work hard, you can get them. The way to obtain them is the same. Everyone can leave without any problems, so there is no imbalance in resources."

The second-ranked player, Gray Tree Hole, is a free-to-play player who still manages to rank second on the wealth list, demonstrating that Qingfengyi truly offers balanced resources.

Somewhat surprisingly, the lucky princess, who was blessed with good fortune and should have easily made it into the top 100, didn't even make the list.

The koi's luck-boosting ability is different from that of the golden toad. The golden toad's luck is deliberately suppressed, with only a superficial statistic.

Especially for a good mood, the golden toad needs to hide a lot of money to be in a good mood.

You need to deposit at least 100,000 gold ingots to raise your mood value to around 2%, and it's difficult to withdraw the deposited money later.

There's a chance you'll be hated by the golden toad, generating negative emotions, and then bad luck will follow.

Deng Yijun was so angry she laughed when she saw the tiny footnotes at the end!

"Okay, designer, you can design!"

A high-end, prestigious product may seem to have great benefits, but in reality, it's just a useless product.

Make ends meet.

Fortunately, it's the only prop, so it has good collectible value.

The prizes for the following leaderboards are not as good as those for the costume leaderboard; only the prize for the combat power leaderboard is decent—a divine bow.

The divine bow that the audience gave as a gift—this feature once again broke players' defenses.

"Aaaaaah, designer! What are you doing?!"

When everyone first saw that divine bow, they imagined it would be a treasure they could obtain through anticipation, like the phoenix. Now that it's the only prize, does that mean it's gone?

"Ugh, giving something like this as the only prize? That's too much!"

I challenge you to a duel!

"My divine bow, such a magnificent bow, it would be perfect even as a skin!"

. . . . .

The players' wails echoed through the crowd of heads, and Lin Shuying sighed, rubbing her forehead.

Don't these people read the announcements?

The announcement states that, except for the top spot on the costume leaderboard, the prizes and items for the other leaderboards are fixed!

"Midsummer, hurry up and say something in the comments: the prize isn't one of a kind, don't misunderstand."

"Ok."

Lin Qiaoqiao laughed and said, "Boss, are you sure you want to say this at this time?"

Just as the winner was celebrating, a bucket of cold water was poured on them.
