Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 317

At that moment, my ears were still dancing with the sound of fireworks exploding, but my eyes involuntarily warmed up.

Regardless of the era, who doesn't seek peace and happiness?

Then they started releasing lanterns, including river lanterns and sky lanterns.

In the lake of the Huaxia Jianghu, what flows is no longer players chasing treasure chests, but countless river lanterns released by players, each carrying a wish. The lanterns flying in the sky seem to illuminate the entire world, and the gathered power of their wishes seems to break through the holographic world to come to this human realm, letting the universe see just how much hope and longing humanity has, and how much it truly loves this world.

The dim light illuminates the fragrant wooden wall, while a person sits listlessly in the courtyard.

The croaking of frogs ceases, yet the light remains unwavering; a worldly wish, with its power, pierces the heavens.

Some players who hadn't joined the crowd stood in the courtyard, gazing at the lights in the sky, overwhelmed with awe and emotion. They couldn't quite articulate their feelings, but their hearts were pounding, and their joy and elation were genuine.

Finally, a massive firework exploded in the sky, illuminating the entire earth for a fleeting moment before fading away. Then, a clear, sharp cry rang out from the horizon, and a gigantic golden crow, draped in seven-colored light, soared from the horizon, each feather shimmering with intense heat. It pushed the approaching dawn into the distance, ushering in complete daylight, before curling up in the sky to become a dazzling sun.

The players were stunned...

Time passed by in this way, and another night went by.

The players stared blankly at the sun, feeling utterly disoriented. How could it be so disorienting?

The world chat channel fell completely silent, and after a long while, a message was posted:

"So this is what they mean by 'time flies like an arrow'?"

"It's so amazing! I'm a new player and I missed it before, but I made it this time. Seriously, I'm still crying, sob sob sob."

"That feeling of being moved was really complicated."

"I've never felt such a complex emotion in my life. I'm so happy, but there's also a bittersweet feeling inside, and... my eyes hurt. I can't quite put my finger on it. But I'm just so happy!"

"Tears of joy!"

"It was worth it, truly worth it. Qingfengyi, I will love you forever!"

"It's so beautiful, I really don't know how to express my feelings right now. I've never been this excited even when I first flew a warship through a wormhole. Seriously, I'm so excited, and the excitement is lingering."

"Waaaaah, I hope my dream comes true and I can play at Qingfengyi in this lifetime. I'm still just a tourist, waaaaah."

"With so many lights in the sky and so many lights in the river, what kind of deity can grant our wishes?"

"Our wishes can only be fulfilled by ourselves; those lights are merely a testament! From this moment on, I will strive to be a better person."

"I've been planning a planetary trip for a long time, but I didn't have the courage, not a single bit. After watching this light show, I feel like I'm going to set off. I have the courage to go."

........

The same scenery evoked different emotions in different people, and they received different kinds of encouragement.

The mountain scenery remains unchanged, but the viewer sees it differently.

All are worldly hearts, yet joy lasts a thousand years.

Some players have started showing off what they got from the event. This event was truly packed with content, and many players were so engrossed in the beautiful moments that they didn't have time to share them with everyone. Now that the event is over, it's the perfect time to share.

Otherwise, there will be far fewer opportunities to show off your gains during the two-day leaderboard battle.

"Family, I found this in the Easter egg, and it perfectly reflects my mood right now. Video."

The video features no people, only countless ink-wash landscapes flowing by, the rising sun moving from one mountain saddle to another, clouds gathering and dispersing, dispersing and gathering again. Four lines of poetry hang at the end of the video, and a blue-green river silently disappears into the mist. The sunset's red is more beautiful and moving than a blushing cheek, and several egrets fly away and vanish without a trace, their cries fading into the distance.

The red smoke rises into the sea, but the song fades; the river flows into the deep mountains, but the melody is no longer heard.

The vast rivers and mountains cannot conceal our boundless thoughts, which resonate with the heavens and earth.

"Wow, what a beautiful place! Is this all for the video? Where are the props?"

Easter eggs are usually accompanied by props; it doesn't make sense that there's only one video content, right?

Although this video is really super good.

The player said, "My item is a scroll painting called 'Longing for the Mountains to Return.' I don't know what it means, but I can hang it at home as decoration. The scenery changes at different times, just like in the video where it changes according to the time of day. (Image)"

The picture is a photograph of a painting; I didn't expect "Longing for the Return of the Mountains" to be so large. It could fill an entire wall if hung in the middle of a player's living room.

"Wow, it looks so beautiful, it has an ethereal feel to it."

"Yes, it looks so vigorous, with a hint of melancholy?"

"I'm not worried, but it's really beautiful. I wonder what kind of planet has such beautiful scenery."

.......

The leaderboard is released the day after the light show ends. Although many of the procedures are similar, everyone is still eagerly anticipating the exclusive items for the top-ranked players. That's what everyone fights for at every event – ​​otherwise, who would bother trying to be number one?

The first, second, and even the later ones were still quite exciting, but this is already the 21st one. Even the best events can be handled calmly at this level. But the limited-edition items are something we can't handle calmly!

Billions of players fight tooth and nail for a few first place spots, and in the end, they watch others stand on the top with envy.

The most interesting track is still the Clothing track, which is Qingfengyi's only main storyline. Then there's the Innovation track, which is becoming more standardized and still has its highlights. Many interesting gameplay elements and items developed by players are extremely popular.

The prize for this event's styling contest is a magnificent golden horse, about 50 centimeters tall and one meter long. It is inlaid with various precious stones, and the mane is meticulously crafted with gold wire. Some of the spiral patterns are made of gemstones. The saddle is exquisitely crafted, entirely carved from gemstones, ivory, and rhinoceros horn.

BMW also has a special feature: it can obtain four gem materials daily from its mouth. These materials are all top-grade, making them worthwhile to sell to crafting enthusiasts, collectors, or even just for personal collection.

With this BMW, the dream of bathing in treasures is no longer a dream, but a possible reality.

The creative track gives you an ink line, a mahogany ink line. It can cut any material, cutting along lines you draw yourself—it's practically a cheat code for craft enthusiasts.

The reward items for other tracks are quite good, and players enjoy receiving participation prizes even after receiving them multiple times.

The event concluded amidst a tense yet exhilarating atmosphere, with the spectacular sight of Qingfengyi players charging towards Nantianmen on the StarNet once again stunning many passersby. The process of releasing the lanterns, especially when viewed holographically, created an indescribable sense of awe.

Many planets that previously didn't have bridging access have seen wealthy players gritting their teeth and starting to organize groups to raise funds for bridging. Whether others play or not is irrelevant; what's the point if someone as rich as me can't play?
