Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 114

On the day of the finale, the result was unexpectedly good.

The StarCraft player surprised Lin Shuying. In her previous life, when capital clashed with individuals or the public, capital always won. Even if the matter had a bad impact, it would eventually be forgotten.

This truly proves a fundamental truth: You'll encounter 99% of problems when you're broke, but you can solve 99% of them when you have money. What about the remaining 1%? Are those still problems?

But StarCraft players actually won this propaganda war!

The sheer volume of videos and content flooded the entire StarNet platform, making it impossible for StarNet to keep up with the demand, and the popularity only continued to rise.

At this moment, StarCraft has no energy left to deal with the players' insane desire to share. Many big shots have sued StarCraft, saying that they violated freedom of speech within safe limits!

To give the public an explanation, the final fine of 200 billion yuan was really too much for Xingji.com in this public opinion storm, and it even showed some desperate measures.

These fines will be used to compensate banned players and Qingfengyi, with the remainder to be turned over. The funds turned over in interstellar space will be used to benefit all of humanity, distributed among the military, research departments, welfare and security alliances, and organizations that protect human interests.

The maintenance of interstellar space differs somewhat from the national systems on Earth. Here, a system of planetary autonomy is implemented. Planets cannot possess military forces, only defensive ones. Security and defense are under the jurisdiction of the military, including various police robots.

Scientific research is also a large, independent organization, along with health organizations and so on. The rest are managed by quantum computers, which are controlled by the Alliance, which is composed of the lords of various planets…

Lin Shuying only now barely understands the system here, but as a transmigrator, she doesn't really feel a strong sense of belonging. Her mind is entirely focused on the hairpin and the gentle breeze, along with her longing and love for her motherland.

This time, Qingfengyi also received 5 billion yuan in reputational damages, which is quite good.

The betting agreement wasn't even over yet, and a portion of the funds had already arrived in the account, making everyone very happy.

Lin Shuying laughed and said, "Come on, let's have a good meal! Let's celebrate!"

These past few days, Baiweida has replicated its Snowflake Beef BBQ series, which includes pork belly, beef, lamb chops, pork ribs, lettuce, and perilla.

Perilla is a newly developed ingredient with a slightly spicy and fragrant flavor, making it the perfect accompaniment to grilled meat. It's a recent addition to the menu, so it's a bit pricey.

They brought some over, just enough for one meal.

The dreamy lights in the courtyard were turned on, and a round barbecue table was placed in the center, with all the ingredients prepared. Everyone gathered around the table, grilling and eating as they went.

He Mengqiu: "Boss, should this also be available in the Qingfengyi game next time?"

Xia Chunqi: "If it's on the shelves, I'll eat it every day. The taste of perilla is so mesmerizing."

Lin Shuying said, "No, they're still in the development stage of this meal set. They're just sending it to us for now. It won't be available for sale for several months."

The food produced in Baiweida is getting better and better, and the taste is closer to that of my previous life.

As expected of a project joined by time travelers, the replica is quite good.

Have a big meal, tomorrow is the awards ceremony!

A very grand awards ceremony.

While Qingfengyi and his group were enjoying a delicious feast, the big bosses behind the scenes of the Star Network were furious. The largest shareholder slammed his fist on the table, pointed at the planet owner to which Baiweida Group belonged, and roared, "I heard you even sent Qingfengyi a feast. You want to split it up? Impossible!"

Another shareholder stepped forward and said, "It was agreed that Barbie Fashion, Qingfengyi, and Sweetheart Planet would be shared among everyone, and no one was allowed to share them individually. What is your purpose in having Baiweida do this? To break it off? You already own one, so it's best not to be too greedy."

The planet lord to which Baiweida belongs said, "Baiweida isn't on my side; it belongs to the Academy of Sciences. If you're so capable, go ask them for it. Besides, Baiweida's cooperation with Qingfengyi came first, and everyone else's plans followed. What? Are you planning to directly interfere with the previous cooperation?"

Wu Cheng's side, the main family member, also chimed in, "I don't agree with interfering with previous cooperation either. The losses this time wouldn't have been so great; it was your control of the interstellar network that went too far. When we summoned them, it was agreed that we wouldn't actively interfere with their performance..."

The major shareholder glared at him and asked, "What, are you criticizing me now? Everyone saw the performance-based agreement back then, and now you're telling me not to interfere with their performance? Why weren't you saying anything when you had the sole controlling stake?"

"But the report that led to the countermeasures was reviewed by you. We only know the contract, not the specific response plan. It was agreed at the time that you were 100% sure of winning."

"We were 100% confident of winning, as long as Qingfengyi's players didn't cause trouble. Who knew Qingfengyi would pull such a stunt? We never expected her to use all the players for publicity. Those players come from all over the world; it's your fault for not managing your local network properly!"

The shareholders' meeting quickly descended into chaos, with everyone shifting blame until a conclusion was reached.

If we compare Barbie Fashion to Barbie Fashion, it's a dress-up game with similar styles and the same home planet's cultural heritage, so it's really hard to say who will win.

We must fight back on the last day!

StarNet directly broadcast entertainment programs to Barbie Fashion. On this day, Barbie Fashion launched more than fifty new outfits, and the runway show was planned for three hours!

It was prime time; at other times, 50% of the game streamers on various planets came to stream Barbie Fashion, and within a day, it caught up with Qingfengyi's popularity.

The group of Qingfengyi were a little nervous; it was a risky situation for a lowly soldier to fight a general.

In the middle of the night, Lin Qiaoqiao detected messages from various sources and quickly knocked on the door to wake Lin Shuying, "Boss, what should we do?"

The other party also has a home planet culture, dress-up games, and clothes are simpler to design and can be created quickly. So they can release fifty or even more outfits within one or two days, but Qingfengyi can't do that.

Qingfengyi's outfits are all gorgeous and intricately designed. Asking Lin Shuying to complete fifty outfits in a single day is for a man. And now, in less than a day, in the middle of the night...

Lin Shuying frowned, then said, "I'll work overtime tonight and see the results tomorrow."

Lin Qiaoqiao said with some annoyance, "Perhaps we shouldn't have had the idea of ​​a bet. If we hadn't accepted the bet, there would have been no risk."

Lin Shuying laughed and said, "Even if it's not a bet, it would be something else that could trap us. A bet is better, at least we have a direction to strive for victory. Okay, don't worry, I believe Qingfengyi can win!"

With its clothing and culture spanning five thousand years, China is one of the four ancient civilizations and the only one whose civilization has never been interrupted. How could it possibly lose to a rising star?

After Lin Qiaoqiao left, Lin Shuying entered the holographic pod to refine tomorrow's award ceremony and add some surprises.

The next morning at 8 AM, Barbie Fashion went live, with streamers from various planets playing games around the clock. Many of them were top streamers, especially those from first-tier planets, with millions of followers.

Qingfengyi's channel, however, needs half an hour to update before it can start, as they haven't invited many big streamers because the conditions don't allow it.

If you're not a player, you can't enter the game, and you can't stream it.

Two billion new players can enter the game twenty minutes earlier to familiarize themselves with it and get into the game.

The game was then released.

46 billion players are online, not a single one is missing.

The staff at Qingfengyi thought that players would become obsessed with Barbie fashion, and that a portion of players would definitely leave.

Xia Chunqi: "Sister, these players deserve your kindness! It touches me so deeply."

Barbie Fashion's update today also includes some great perks; everyone knows Barbie Fashion is going head-to-head with Qingfengyi. They're also giving away clothes, jewelry, earrings, and food.

The food was provided by Baiweida, and the benefits they offered were much better than those at Qingfengyi.

Lin Qiaoqiao: "Baiweida is from that side now, so let's choose not to cooperate with them next time."

Lin Shu-ying: "No, we will continue to cooperate. But not through advertising; instead, we will use their patented recipes and flavors."

In StarCraft, recipes cannot be patented; only the preparation process and flavor can be patented. This type of patent differs from design patents; it's open-source and costs only one-thousandth the price of other patents, practically free.

"Okay, I'll go and coordinate with them."

When a player enters their home, the system will prompt them that they can livestream. The popularity of the livestream will earn points, which can be redeemed for exclusive in-game items.

Limited edition items include the Red Embroidered Ball, teleportation effect skill, pet skins, pet character customization skill, pet clothes and items, guest outfits, and decoration items.

They even specifically stated that the popularity of the broadcast also counts, as long as you have the ability to broadcast it.

Players have never experienced this kind of joy.

All these props are displayed, fifty kinds per page, a full ten pages!

"Qingfengyi has pulled out all the stops! While others have fifty sets, this place is offering a full five hundred livestream props just as an incentive!"

"My mecha Grand Marshal, as expected of Qingfengyi, exudes an air of extravagance in every aspect, I love it to death!"

They're truly extravagant. Their clothes are embroidered, made of exquisite fabrics, and designed for the skin. Jewelry, accessories, designs, houses, and flowers—everything is incredibly luxurious. Just looking at them makes you feel like you're destined to become rich.

This time, the red embroidered balls come in various forms: some can fly, some float, some can be sat on, some can be hung on the waist, and some are small lanterns. This is the first time magical items have appeared, and it's also the first test of the game platform's updated technology.

The mount, Red Embroidered Ball, is red and adorned with peonies and mandarin ducks, making it incredibly magnificent. Upon activation, a golden, glowing Bagua tray will appear above it, with ornate steps below.

Once the player ascends, their consciousness will connect to the Red Embroidered Ball, which can be controlled similarly to a mecha. However, magic power is required; the base magic power value is 100, and players can later find celestial items such as fresh herbs, elixirs, immortal energy, rare treasures, and magical artifacts to upgrade their cultivation.

This is a cultivation path, currently in testing.

It can only be used today; afterwards, only the red embroidered ball can be used.

The Flying Red Embroidered Ball is the most expensive reward in this live stream, requiring 100,000 points to obtain. One point requires 100,000 views.

Then there are the pet props: tiger costumes, rocking horses, climbing frames, little bells, and walking effects—many of which players never even thought of.

For example, the panda's walking effect can produce flames under its feet while running, and the words "I'm going to dash towards the enemy!" will appear above its head. If many little red hearts appear under its feet, it will display "I'm going to dash towards my dear owner, please catch me~" above its head.

There's also a special effect of the whole body exuding a blood-red, menacing aura, saying, "Dare to bully your master? I'll beat you to death!"

There's also a fairy effect, with a little red heart saying, "Master, I still love you, mwah~".

The man, exuding a menacing aura, said, "Interesting. You dare challenge the master I protect? My sword will not allow it!"

The butterfly fluttering around it said, "Oh dear, I'm just here to protect my master and watch the fun. Everyone, keep going, the excitement can't stop, or I'll beat you to death!"

.........

These all have voice announcements; they will appear when the player clicks on the reward item.

A blatant advertisement!

It exudes an aura of 'Give me your all, give me your all! You can get me if you die from exhaustion!'

The player's health bar was completely depleted, their eyes were seeing stars, and ten livers instantly grew.

No, a hundred!

"Ahhhh, if the Flower Fairy spoke to me with this special effect and tone, I would definitely give myself to her!"

"Ahhh, little panda, I don't need you to protect me, I just want you to run to me!"

"Ahhh, Qingfengyi, you're so good at this! I've never loved the wrong person in my life!"

Players tacitly returned to the game platform and gave it a five-star review.

Qingfengyi's rating rose to five points for the second time, leaving everyone in the interstellar community stunned.

This is the first time I've seen players so united. Even "The Enlightenment of Things" couldn't achieve this.

Following this, Qingfengyi's players mobilized all their social circles, using every last bit of social courage they hadn't used before. They offered money after the broadcast, giving money to anyone who received items.

But money doesn't seem to work, because Barbie Fashion is also spending money to buy broadcasts and viewers.

At this moment, Qingfengyi player unleashed his ultimate move!

Once you've used up all your livestream points to buy all the items, the remaining ones can be sold to the person who contributed the most to the livestream so they can stockpile rare items.

The contract for this collaboration means that those who cannot play Qingfengyi now can directly claim the rewards once they become Qingfengyi players.

A completely new concept of personal shopping agents.

Qingfengyi's props are no ordinary props, let alone rare ones!

It's no different from buying an antique set and placing it in Qingfengyi to appreciate in value!

If I could buy a whole bunch, I could start playing right away without even having played any games yet—that would be so awesome!

Currently, the cheapest limited-edition items in Qingfengyi are those from this event. Previous items are out of the question; they are available but unavailable, and unaffordable.

The props for this event, when they come to play, will cost at least one house!

Many streamers who couldn't play Qingfengyi regretted their decision, paid a penalty fee, and started broadcasting Qingfengyi streams, splitting the viewership 50/50 with the Qingfengyi players who accepted the broadcast.

Their fan base is in the hundreds of millions, which immediately exceeded the viewership limit and reached saturation.

But it's okay. After the live stream or rebroadcast lasts for more than an hour, StarNet will open up voting items. Each item can accumulate points, and you can also vote on the rebroadcast.

The duration of a live stream also accumulates points, so streamers won't feel that spending 100,000 points on a single item is a waste, especially for top streamers who accumulate points rapidly.

Who doesn't enjoy the feeling of money being stuffed into their wallet?

Moreover, some top streamers are no longer pursuing money, but rather wealth.

Having wealth means having money, but having money does not necessarily mean having wealth.

Especially its cultural heritage and appreciating wealth.
