Chapter 116
Many streamers, seeing viewers' comments about not being able to play the game or experience the magnificent scenery firsthand, started making cheeky and joking remarks.
Host: "Oh dear, what a pity~ You can only watch it on the quantum computer screen. Look at my perspective, there are fireworks all around, it's like a holographic experience, the atmosphere is amazing!"
"Aren't you incredibly envious? Sigh, you guys can't have that! Envious, aren't you!"
As he spoke, he turned the camera around, and the sky was a blur of red and gold, green and purple, with crackling sounds.
Like fairies scattering flowers, beauty is illuminated, showcasing the splendor of the human world.
The pain of looking at the screen is a bit hurtful, and it reduces the atmosphere by 80%!
Coupled with the streamer's sarcastic remarks and boasting, the audience's anger level was a bit high, but they were attracted by the fireworks and had no time to pay attention.
Even with 80% of the fireworks reduced, they were still absolutely stunning, and the audience couldn't wait to have some fun with them.
Especially when watching in the brand new warehouse, without the obstruction of a small computer screen, one can enjoy 50% of the pleasure.
Many viewers who were walking on the street or at work quickly took leave to find the new warehouse so they could experience the wonderful fireworks.
Thankfully, this is interstellar space, with many robots on duty, and most humans function as intelligent beings. Taking leave is relatively simple; as long as you keep your contact information up-to-date and arrive quickly if a problem arises, you're fine.
"It's so beautiful, ahhh! I love it!"
"Watching it in a holographic pod is so much more enjoyable than using a physical computer, waaaah, how can there be such a wonderful scene?"
"The unprecedented scale of the scene is breathtaking, even through the screen."
"This is child's play. You didn't see the thousands of river lanterns that were launched into the water and the countless Kongming lanterns that were released into the sky. They were all released by players who made wishes."
"I wished to find a partner, and it came true. It really works."
"That's truly my favorite scene so far. It's a scene that players personally participated in and created, and it feels completely different from the scenes released by the official team!"
"There are also video links, as well as many forums and articles. Feel free to check them out if you're interested. I have a lot of space."
Hurry up and promote it! Although the promotional points event has ended, there might be another one. Start building your fanbase now so you can take off later.
This promotional campaign has undoubtedly made a fortune for top streamers like Sister Xunmei and Saowei Zhaojinyou. Their existing fan base alone could earn them at least a million points, easily enough to claim all the rewards Qingfeng offered.
The lack of new talent has made many players realize that playing Qingfengyi actually requires building up a fanbase!
Our business is expanding more and more.

After the fireworks finished, the sky brightened, and colorful clouds filled the sky. Orange, gold, purple, blue, and white colors were mixed together, grading naturally. The design was very lifelike, and this is probably what auspiciousness looks like.
Just as everyone was marveling at the colorful clouds, countless phoenixes descended from the sky, their bodies radiating dazzling light.
Each feather is radiant, with fine filaments and a graceful, flowing form.
This is an even more perfect phoenix after Lin Shuying's further refinement. The modeled phoenix is completely different from the previous two-dimensional realistic style.
This one is even prettier!
As it flies, there are shimmering fairy light effects all around, making it truly seem as if a divine bird has descended to earth.
It was completely irresistible, utterly irresistible!
Players had been longing for Phoenix for a long time, and upon seeing it, they cried out, "Phoenix! Phoenix! You are the one I can never have!"
"Phoenix, Phoenix, you are my lifelong dream, designer! As long as you give me a phoenix, I will never give you a five-star review!"
"Ahhh, I saw a phoenix again!"
"Phoenix, designer, if you give me Phoenix, I'll give you all the money I have in my life, and I'll never go back on my word!"
........
Many viewers who had never seen a phoenix before stared wide-eyed, wondering if such a beautiful bird really existed in the world.
It's already beyond the boundaries of birds, hasn't it?
On the other hand, the StarNet network tried to suppress the hype, reduce the exposure of advertising channels, and even had several non-political columns broadcast Barbie Fashion Ladder Embroidery.
Initially, the audience did surge, locking in a portion of viewers, but that couldn't stop people from sharing it with family and friends. Soon, many people came to post comments:
"Qingfengyi, you'll definitely regret it if you don't go! It's so much more magnificent than this place!"
"How could that be? We have the hottest songs right now, beautiful clothes, and things even more beautiful than the terrace embroidery!"
"Tsk tsk, all you can see here are clothes, but over there you'll see so much you wish you had more eyes."
"Pictures, pictures, this is my last share, I'm leaving."
The viewer shared a live stream feed from Qingfengyi's channel, showing a magnificent scene of colorful clouds in the sky and a phoenix appearing.
Barbie Fashion viewers watched it several times before quickly moving on to other topics!
"Isn't Qingfengyi an awards ceremony? Why are there such beautiful birds here?"
"You wouldn't believe it, but Qingfengyi's happiness is beyond your imagination."
Some loyal fans of Qingfengyi have voluntarily helped promote Qingfengyi, attract viewers, and generate buzz, even hosting two shows simultaneously. While keeping an eye on Qingfengyi's content, they plan to stir things up with Barbie Fashion, managing to do both at the same time.
They have their own social group chat, where the group admin shouts: "Keep it up! Let Qingfengyi grow bigger! When it's big enough, it can create a bigger server, and we'll have a better chance of getting a spot!"
The administrators and some support staff were pulling people into the group while chanting, "Keep it up! Even if we can't create a bigger server, as long as the planetary owner sees the benefits of Qingfengyi, he will bring it in, and we will have a better chance of getting a spot!"
"Come on, brothers! Let's use all our strength to become players of Qingfengyi!"
"Get your live stream donations ready! Vote if you want, campaign for votes if you want. The group admin is a big shot; he's prepared plenty of funds for everyone, and he'll reimburse you!"
"It's only a few dozen yuan, no need for reimbursement! I've already paid!"
"Keep up the good work, everyone! Once we become Qingfengyi players, we'll earn it all back!"
At this point, this game has transcended its core purpose; it's become a repository of wealth for powerful figures. Many employees and upper management within StarNet are also players of Qingfengyi, and the value of their in-game items far surpasses their jobs. Selling just one rare, discontinued item could earn them decades of income!
StarNet actually wants to bring down Qingfengyi?
Let's get past them first!
When this matter reached the ears of the big-headed capital players in Qingfengyi, it became a serious matter.
For example, wealthy people like Deng Yijun have three or four times more possessions than they actually have in real life. Can they bear to see their wealth go down the drain?
Don't say things like the acquisition won't affect the game's value or interfere with its creation; that's all lies.
They're all capitalists; everyone knows who's who.
The greatest value of Qingfengyi lies in its distinctive, dedicated design and unwavering commitment; without these, it is nothing.
Players are well aware that only if Lin Shuying holds absolute power can the game's value be prevented from diminishing. She will prevent rare, limited-edition items from reappearing and will not exploit players by altering the settings and prices of various items.
Even if a designer makes many settings in their work that are incomprehensible to ordinary people, they are definitely the person who loves that work the most.
Soon, various capital forces entered the fray, creating numerous loopholes in the restrictions imposed by the StarNet, making it difficult for Barbie Fashion to continue its business.
The behind-the-scenes boss of StarNet quickly partnered with Colorful Dress-Up, which had a collaboration with Qingfengyi, and many of their costumes had signed patent usage agreements.
The colorful costumes of the performers, dressed in Qingfengyi's clothes and using Qingfengyi's name, drew many viewers back to their seats.
For a while, the audience was jumping around, and in the end, they all decided to just do two rounds.
While capital battles rage on, Qingfengyi continues its live stream.
After the phoenix descended, it split into two sides, and then suddenly charged towards the center. Sparks flew and flames rose high after they collided.
The body transformed into stone bricks that reached the heavens, piling up to form a road to the sky. On both sides of the road were railings made of phoenix tail feathers, and in the middle was the magnificent golden color of the phoenix's body.
The material is jadeite, which is elegant, translucent, noble and luxurious.
The player was so terrified he forgot to breathe; no one could bear to see their beloved child being destroyed right before their eyes.
I don't know who to talk to about the national essence within me. To the designers—their ideas are truly unexpected and brilliant. To this path—I can't bring myself to speak of it. To myself or other players?
It has nothing to do with them.
Finally, it turned into a pool of tears, streaming down my face.
"Waaaaah, the phoenix actually used its own body to clear the way for us, I'm so touched!"
"Aaaaah, designer, how could you let a phoenix crash and die right in front of me? What's the difference between that and delivering white chrysanthemums to my face?!"
"Waaaaah, I'm crying so hard! My Phoenix, my little one!"
"Waaaaah, as expected of Qingfengyi, tragedy is indeed destroying the most beautiful things in front of people, waaaaah, I'm crying my eyes out."
Phoenix, countless players have only seen it a few times but still remember it fondly. The phoenix feathers at home are something they want to wipe a thousand times a day but are afraid of wiping them off!
. . . . . .
When players are feeling down, at the end of the road, a golden and red gate appears and disappears, with the huge characters "South Heavenly Gate" on it, which are very eye-catching.
Then Erlang Shen appeared, followed by a line of silver-armored warriors.
He was dressed in a magnificent golden armor, with a huge black cloak billowing and swirling behind him.
"The Queen Mother, moved by the hard work of all beings and delighted by the numerous talented individuals who have distinguished themselves in this competition, has specially granted the Jade Pool Palace for all players to hold an awards ceremony! Now, all are permitted to follow the Path to Heaven and enter the Jade Pool!"
After saying that, he thrust his spear into the ground, and bursts of brilliant light spread out into the distance, dispelling the thin clouds on the road.
Then, squads of heavenly soldiers descended and guarded both sides of the road to heaven, weapons in hand, eyes fixed straight ahead, exuding an awe-inspiring presence.
The players carefully walked up. The path to heaven looked small from below, but once they came up, twenty people could walk side by side—it was enormous!
Today, Lin Shuying used all the area that players had accumulated during this period to participate in the event, making it three times the original area.
Using further scaling techniques, it reaches a total area of approximately 500 acres, or 300,000 square meters.
After deducting the building's usable area, it can accommodate 13 players, which is equivalent to the number of players in six or seven districts normally.
Walking up the road to heaven and looking back down, it feels like another world, so small it's unbelievable.
They usually use this guild area to fight, watch the excitement, do quests, and explore the map. It feels ridiculously large, not crowded at all, and very spacious.
But now, looking at it, it's so tiny and insignificant that I don't even recognize it anymore.
The feeling of looking down on everyone else is addictive!
Many viewers watching the live stream on their screens were also shocked; the contrast was beyond what ordinary people could comprehend.
"No wonder everyone in ancient times wanted to become an immortal. If the world seen from the sky is so small, everyone would be tempted to frantically climb that road to heaven."
An expert specializing in the study of the home planet's literary creations and martial arts myths couldn't help but post this sentence, which dominated the empty screen.
The human desire for power is innate.
Many people are not obsessed because they cannot see how insignificant the world below really is, or because they themselves are insignificant and cannot achieve it.
But those who have the ability to fight for it and have seen what it looks like in the sky will absolutely go crazy for it.
Some people were afraid to look back, fearing they couldn't withstand the stark contrast.
Follow the road to heaven until the players with their five senses are panting.
A white horse galloped past, swishing its tail, and the player suddenly realized what was happening!
"We have mounts, why should we walk?"
That's a good question.
"I was just captivated by the beautiful scenery of the road to heaven and decided to stay a little longer. It's definitely not that I was stupid enough to forget I had a mount."
"Oh, I'm stupid, so I'll go first."
The player summoned the Black Tiger, flipped it onto the back, and galloped away.
The player who was pretending was dumbfounded. "A bunch of guys who don't understand scenery. In order to see more beautiful scenery, I also have to speed up."
For a time, the road to heaven was filled with horses, black tigers, pandas, birds, and even those carried by their flower fairies and bamboo fairies.
The flower fairy can float, and her speed is slightly faster than the player's own movement, but it can be shown in the live stream!
One player, who had found the right angle from the official live stream of Qingfengyi, kept switching between different flower fairies, saying, "Oh dear, this flower fairy is a bit slow, let's switch to another one."
"This one is slow too, let's switch again."
He kept switching all the flower fairies around, finally summoning the Ink Bamboo Fairy to sit in his lap and ride away. He even gave the camera a wicked smile, saying, "Oh dear, too many choices. Oh well, Ink Bamboo will take me."
Viewers watching the live stream outside gritted their teeth and rubbed their gums repeatedly.
The player next to her saw this player's actions and her eyes lit up. She quickly dismounted her Black Tiger and pretended to walk past the camera. A rare carp jade pendant fell from her body to the ground, and she hurriedly bent down to pick it up and blow on it.
"Oh dear, you can't drop it! This is one of the original props, and there are only a few tens of thousands of them left in existence. It's very rare."
Tens of thousands compared to 46 billion...
It is quite precious.
Just as I picked up the jade pendant, the bluebird box fell.
The spectators outside were dumbfounded. What were these players doing?
Some players who didn't have this extremely rare item were so eager to snatch it away!
"The Bluebird Box is a letter box, what are you doing with it!"
"Even showing off has its logic. Move aside, it's my turn."
This player is very straightforward; they don't even write scripts.
He pulled out a table and said, "I have quite a few props, let me show them to you one by one, hehe."
