Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 35

As she spoke, she lowered her wine glass slightly, glanced down at the slightly ill-fitting stitching under his arm, and laughed, "Oh dear, I don't know who designed my Qingfengyi clothes, the stitching is terrible. We won't be working together again next time."

"You! Heh, Manager Lin, all I did was provoke you a little, why are you being so sarcastic?"

This is Mr. Song, the boss who broke up with Lin Qiaoqiao today.

Lin Qiaoqiao laughed and said, "No, I just like to tell the truth. Boss Song said he just likes to tell the truth."

Boss Song was speechless. Today, he had used money to humiliate Lin Qiaoqiao, threatening her to agree to the cooperation, but only offering a 1.2% profit margin. Lin Qiaoqiao had no chance of agreeing; Qingfeng Yi was currently negotiating profits of 3% or higher, and hadn't seen any attempts to lower them. The two were locked in a standoff, and Boss Song resorted to the threatening method Lin Qiaoqiao disliked most.

Lin Qiaoqiao changed companies several times, which shows that she has a strong temper. So, the firecrackers went off one after another, getting louder and louder, until finally they couldn't stop and started arguing.

Boss Song scoffed, "In that case, I'll see if Qingfengyizai Sandengxing can find a better partner than me."

While not quite comparable to a planetary lord, Boss Song is certainly one of the most prominent figures under him.

Lin Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words. Next month, our studio will officially sell its first batch of exquisite jewelry, chrysanthemum hair combs. Although you have made me unhappy, we will send you an invitation because of your status. Please be sure to attend."

"No problem, no problem. I can see that Qing Fengyi is really good at making clothes. I plan to order some clothes from you. Name your price."

Wang Congjun hadn't expected to land a deal so soon. A greenhorn fresh out of school, he couldn't contain his emotions and displayed them bluntly. Boss Song, seeing this, thought, "I've got this."

Even if the big deal falls through, making two sets of clothes is still a good idea.

Even if he's all high and mighty, he's still just a clothes maker. What can he do?

Lin Qiaoqiao subtly pinched Wang Congjun's arm and calmly smiled, "I need to discuss this with our boss. After all, our small studio has limited manpower. Currently, only the boss can handle high-end custom orders. If you don't mind the work of his assistants, we can start production immediately and personally deliver one set to Boss Song's house every three to five days. However, if our boss makes them personally, you'll have to wait in line. Congjun, I've forgotten, what number is it again?"

Wang Congjun couldn't handle this topic. How much should he say?

Lin Qiaoqiao rubbed her forehead and said to herself, "I remember now, I remember now, at least three months from now. I'll make arrangements as soon as possible after three months."

The beauty touched her forehead, breathtakingly beautiful, even when she was saying something angry, she had to swallow her anger.

Boss Song gritted his teeth and smiled, "Thank you so much, Manager Lin!"

Lin Qiaoqiao laughed and said, "Look, you've forgotten again, I'm the general manager."

As she spoke, she clinked glasses with Boss Song's glass again, smiling like a beautiful and alluring fox.

Mr. Song glanced at her attractive figure and muttered, "Interesting."

He then said to Lin Qiaoqiao, "Could you come to my company and I'll give you the position of executive secretary or vice president?"

Lin Qiaoqiao laughed, looking at the large cabochon imperial green ring on her finger, "Does your company wear this?"

Mr. Song released his hand. "Of course, it's just a ring. You can afford it, you can have ten of them."

Lin Qiaoqiao stretched out her slender white hand, and after comparing the two rings, Boss Song felt a bit embarrassed.

Lin Qiaoqiao herself hadn't expected the comparison to be so stark. At first glance, the two rings looked identical, both featuring the Qingfengyi design. However, upon closer inspection, the differences were significant. Lin Qiaoqiao's ring had a better luster, more perfect edge finishing, and an extremely high purity of imperial green color. The silver's color and luster were also smoother and more refined.

The key to Lin Shuying's exquisite craftsmanship lies in adjusting the color of the silver and the angle of light refraction at various points according to the color of the gemstones during the production process. These attention to detail are the secret to her refined craftsmanship.

"Haha, Mr. Song probably needs to have a serious discussion with this maker about the defective goods."

He turned and left, saying that he had many goals for the day and couldn't waste too much time on one client.

Wang Congjun whispered, "I didn't expect the things the boss makes to be so different from what others make. Now I understand why those nouveau riche hire famous designers."

Lin Qiaoqiao said with an inscrutable expression, "There's a reason why high-end luxury is expensive. If it's expensive but can't be perfect, what makes it so expensive? Qingfengyi's products must be elevated to a divine status to be worthy of such beautiful and exquisite things."

As soon as the two managed to escape, several people came over to talk to them. The woman was much faster and quickly surrounded Lin Qiaoqiao and Wang Congjun.

After everyone introduced themselves, they began to talk about various things:

"Wow, this gentleman is so handsome! Qingfengyi's custom-made clothes are truly exceptional."

"It looks great, it really shows off her figure."

"Could we have a private drink together tonight, handsome?"

How about we add each other as friends?

"Qiaoqiao looks great in this outfit."

"Look at this outfit of mine, a spray-on shirt designed by a famous designer, supposedly authorized by Qingfengyi. But it's just not as good as the real thing."

Lin Qiaoqiao said, "Oh my, this outfit is really beautiful, madam. Look at the spray, it's so lifelike. We have several companies that cooperate with Qingfengyi, I wonder which one it is, their technique is excellent, I want to get one done too. It looks great."

Spray-washing clothes is also a way to make money, so we can't let that stop.

Currently, spray-painted clothing is the mainstream method.

"Oh, Qiaoqiao, you're so good with words. Let's make an appointment to do it together. Also, can you arrange my custom-made outfit? Just the one you're wearing will do. I also play the game. After I came out, I looked for several costume makers to make costumes, but I wasn't satisfied. Otherwise, I wouldn't have worn a spray-painted outfit today."

"Yes, yes, I also want to order a custom haircut. And your hair, it's so long, how long will it take to grow back? I grew mine back a while ago, and the stubble looked so ugly."

Lin Qiaoqiao laughed and said, "This is a wig, and I don't really know how to put it on. I'll ask our boss to arrange it later and make a video so you can find someone with good hands to learn. As for the clothes, I'm afraid we'll have to wait. The apprentice the boss is training hasn't graduated yet and can't make them. It takes a long time to make one piece, and the boss is busy with the game, so he can't do anything about it."

Her words conveyed helplessness, but her eyes held a shrewd glint in them.

The boss is right, what's scarce is what's best and most valuable!

Good items can sell for overprice at auctions because buyers are vying for them.

The women were indeed fooled, showering the sellers with compliments and offering to buy at high prices.

Lin Qiaoqiao cleverly replied, letting them decide for themselves. She agreed accordingly, but the timing and price were still undetermined.

We'll settle the payment after it's done.

The ladies were all satisfied, and Lin Qiaoqiao also announced the opening of the store next month, using it as an excuse to attract the next wave of potential customers.

I've been busy all night and have drunk a bit too much.

Drunk.

Wang Congjun was asked by her not to drink, and that she would take him back later.

Back at the villa, everyone was learning flower arranging from Lin Shuying, waiting for the two to return. Seeing Lin Qiaoqiao staggering, Lin Shuying quickly went over and asked, "Are you...drunk?"

Wang Congjun: "Sister Qiaoqiao drank a lot of alcohol."

Lin Qiaoqiao smiled and said to Lin Shuying, "Boss, I turned 90% of the people at the banquet into clients today. Aren't I amazing? Hehe."

Lin Shuying said with a laugh, "Awesome, I'll give you a raise."

As he spoke, he helped the person to Lin Qiaoqiao's room.

Lin Qiaoqiao: "I don't want a raise, I want a golden phoenix."

Lin Shuying is having a headache. Just how much does she really care about Phoenix?

"Okay, I'll make you a golden phoenix hairpin."

Lin Qiaoqiao: "I want to be the CEO. Someone secretly said today that my position is not high enough. I'll make myself a CEO on par with him and make him furious."

"Okay, I'll arrange it for you tomorrow."

Lin Shuying brought over a glass of warm water containing the hangover cure from the interstellar delivery that had just arrived. It smelled strange.

"Here, drink the hangover medicine."

Wang Congjun was still standing there. Lin Shuying said, "You've worked hard too, go to sleep. I'll take care of things here."

Wang Congjun said apologetically, "Then I'll trouble you, boss."

He reeked of alcohol and needed a shower to feel better.

Liang Ranran, He Mengqiu, and Lu Yunzhi came in and said, "Boss, are we here to take care of things?"

Lin Shuying: "Go to sleep, everyone. Be at work on time tomorrow."

"That's so embarrassing."

Lin Shuying laughed and said, "You guys are off work now, get some rest. I'm the boss, I can be lazy tomorrow, go to sleep."

Lin Qiaoqiao: "The boss can't be lazy either, hurry up and make the Golden Phoenix."

These words made everyone laugh.

Lin Shuying patted her and said, "Hurry up and drink it. I'll give you the Golden Phoenix tomorrow."

Liang Ranran and the other two went back to their rooms to sleep.

Lin Shuying waited until Lin Qiaoqiao finished drinking the hangover medicine and was completely asleep, so that she wouldn't wake up to vomit, before leaving with a dim nightlight.

I glanced at the time; I'm not designing any games tonight.

I'll be designing games all day tomorrow, so I won't be making hairpins.

Slightly change things up; turning your hobby into a job is great, but you still need a vacation.

The next day, I woke up, drank a bowl of interstellar-themed porridge made by the staff, and started working.

Upon entering the game, I first added a stream, but it didn't seem right to add the stream anywhere; it turned into a waterfall.

It's so abrupt; it doesn't fit Lin Shuying's aesthetic preferences.

According to her vision, she would be satisfied with a scene where the sun shines on the incense burner, creating purple smoke, and thin veils dance slowly among the clouds. However, the mountain's height is limited, with only a hundred meters of space. With trees and mountains, the height is insufficient, and adding a waterfall would make it look like a bamboo grove with water birds stuck, dripping incessantly. Adding a water curtain cave would be even more discordant, so it seems that a water curtain cave can only be built when there is more space available in the future.

Let's keep it for now.

I processed the wildflowers from the mountains, adding a lot of orchids.

There is no waterfall, but there can be a stream. Water emerges from a platform in the valley and forms three streams along its course, winding through the forest and rocks.

The streamside is covered with small wildflowers, wild rhododendrons, wild yams, banana trees, and bamboo leaves, making it very beautiful.

In her past life, Lin Shuying didn't like rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves, finding the aroma unpleasant. She preferred rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves (also known as zongzi leaves), which had a unique and unforgettable fragrance...

You can't think about food in interstellar space, or it'll be too miserable.

After designing these aspects, the type of hairpin, its components, and the final combined effects by the player are all designed.

I feel like I still have some energy, so I'll finish the final item settlement for those that didn't meet the requirements for synthesizing hairpins. Let's make some small accessories with a chrysanthemum theme, like ear clips, earrings, and small hairpins.

The small hairpins, in particular, are incredibly easy to design; just make several color schemes, and they'll be perfect.

Of course, the fact that there are too few in-game items that sell for real money, as Lin Qiaoqiao mentioned, is also a problem.

Since we have plenty of time this time, why not add a few more sets?

The first set, "Majestic Debut," is a reward for those who grind hard in this event. Collect 2000 hair combs of six different styles and five different ways to make them, and you can exchange them for one set.

A single hair comb has over ninety components.

Absolutely a liver-deep commitment!

That's enough for players to play for a month.

That makes sense, since there are so many chrysanthemums in the mountains, so densely packed. We can limit the number of people to about 7,000. It will be lively, but unlike the sycamore tree incident, there won't be a shortage of props.

The woman's attire, "Pink Chrysanthemum Heiress," consists of a pinkish-white embroidered chrysanthemum shawl, a white embroidered red chrysanthemum high-waisted ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), a sheer outer garment, and a pinkish-purple embroidered chrysanthemum belt. Below, she wears blue, white, and yellow chrysanthemum-patterned cloth

She paired it with a pair of high-quality pink jadeite chrysanthemum pendants, hanging on both sides of the ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) on her chest. The long braided red thread reached all the way to her lower body, and two golden bells were attached to the bottom, jingling as she walked.

The sound of the bell is very crisp and clear, the kind that sounds lovely.

The hairstyle features a large pink chrysanthemum hairpin, a loose bun, and flowing hair. The hairpin is inserted to the side and decorated with two blue butterflies. Each side of the flowing hair is braided into a small braid and secured with a light purple ribbon.

A white chrysanthemum adorns the headband.

The back is also a jewel-like flower of pink chrysanthemum, complemented by blue leaves. Pink pearl tassels, with a teardrop ruby ​​at the very end, and a small bell hanging from them.

It is paired with a necklace with a long back cloud design, and a pink chrysanthemum made of rubies and iris stones in the front.

nice!

There is also a pair of bracelets with spring colors and purple hues, and a gold bracelet with chrysanthemum patterns and gold bells.

There is no ring.

Light green bow-shaped chrysanthemum earrings, with small butterflies and bells hanging below.

This makeup set features many small bells, which are not noisy, only producing a clear and pleasant low tinkling sound. Paired with the large bell on the jade pendant, it truly exudes a lively and adorable charm wherever you go.

Finally, here's a chrysanthemum lantern.

carry out.

The men's clothing is called "Ink Chrysanthemum Swordsman," made of a deep red fabric with a slightly sheen.

The outer garment consists of a plain outer robe and a matching peacock blue chrysanthemum-patterned inner robe with a cross-collar, the collar edge embroidered with black auspicious clouds. It is paired with a black waist belt with white chrysanthemum buttons and gold chrysanthemum patterns.

She holds a baby sword with a black sheath inlaid with red, and a pink chrysanthemum tassel hangs from the sword.

The shoes are black boots.

Her makeup included a white jade and silver chrysanthemum crown adorned with feathers and a white jade hairpin. She wore a high ponytail, side-swept bangs, and a cool, aloof style.

She wore a black chrysanthemum earring and a sapphire teardrop pendant on one ear.

He wore black leather gloves with silver trim.

The women's clothing had wide sleeves, while the men's clothing, due to martial arts training, had narrow sleeves made by Lin Shuying, and wrist guards were also added.

But it just doesn't look right when placed next to women's clothing.

Not good looking.

It was then altered to have wide sleeves, with subtle gold chrysanthemum patterns on the sleeve edges.

It instantly felt much more harmonious.

The outfit was finished, and a day had passed.

It was given away for free again, even though it was supposed to be sold...

The second set, added to the "Young Master's Favor" and "Beauty's Desire" categories, is a casual everyday style.

These two sets are for sale.

A woman's white chrysanthemum-patterned, cross-collar lace blouse, worn under a light brown, thin, densely woven jacket. The skirt is a chrysanthemum-petal-patterned slit skirt with a white lining.

Each petal of the skirt is embroidered with a red chrysanthemum. The ruby ​​chrysanthemums are adorned with diamond teardrops, and there are also blued chrysanthemum leaf pendants and platinum necklace ties.

Pair it with a very transparent tourmaline square ring. When viewed from the center, the tourmaline has a polished, colorful chrysanthemum in a pinkish-blue hue.

Sky blue high heels with a violet chrysanthemum embroidered on the side, adorned with two diamonds.

The earrings are a straightforward design, featuring a tourmaline teardrop shape, with a white chrysanthemum on the earpiece.

Long, flowing hair, everyday outfit.
