Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 154

"Boss, how come you broke it so easily?"

Lin Shuying proudly said, "There's a technique to this. First, you have to choose pine cones that are neither too loose nor too tight. Loose ones have already lost all their kernels, and tight ones are hard to open. Then you press the petals into the gaps to make room for the kernels to fall out. Then you pick them up, adjust the angle, and shake them outwards..."

She was known as one of the best at breaking pine nuts among the village children back then.

After all that, several grains fell to the ground.

If she weren't demonstrating her skills, she should have held all the pine nuts in her hands.

"Look."

Then, the employees of Qingfengyi became obsessed with breaking pine nuts.

"My mecha grand marshal, it's so relaxing, I can't stop watching."

"I have the most, none of you can beat me!"

"You're talking nonsense. It's just that the boss isn't competing with us. I'll catch up immediately!"

The desire to win is a strange thing; it inexplicably leads to competition.

Lin Shuying looked at him tenderly, oh dear, she used to be just as obsessed back then.

Now it has an added touch of nostalgia, much more than usual.

Some players came over midway through the game, saw that everyone was having a lot of fun, and wanted to join in.

However, Lin Shuying didn't collect enough pine cones to share, so they arranged to go out and collect more together.

After giving them directions, Lin Shuying slipped away. When enjoying the spring scenery, one shouldn't sit still in one place, but rather wander around.

Although the beautiful mountains and vast lakes I designed are quite different from what I experienced when I actually walked through them.

Occasionally, I'll come across orchids or lilies, pick them, and grow them.

Running wild in the mountains and forests is a lot of fun, but it's not very popular on StarNet.

It seems that the gentle breeze and the stunning natural environment were inevitable and natural, and everyone lost their sense of shock.

The most popular one is the guardian spirit.

The first players to receive the guardian spirit were the lucky ones. They encountered the spirit automatically when they went out, and the players liked it so much that they stayed.

Things went very smoothly, which made these players doubt the game's authenticity.

Is this still the gentle breeze?

"I can't believe it!"

"This is the essence of Qingfeng, unless I possess all the guardian spirits."

"Qingfengyi, don't worry about not having enough room in my house, my house is very big!"

"I also met a white fairy, an old man who looked very knowledgeable. But I like fox fairies, beautiful fox fairies. Then I told him that fox fairies are prettier and that I felt sorry for rejecting him, and he actually lowered my favorability rating."

"You're the one whose favorability rating has dropped? Look at me, I don't know if I'm unlucky or lucky. Video."

This player was probably challenging himself to climb the mountain at night, as it was pitch black for most of the time in the video.

Only a sliver of moonlight occasionally peeked through the cracks, and the moonlight looked so pale against the psychological and atmospheric backdrop, it was a little frightening.

Players who clicked on the video became tense, as the protagonist in the video kept spouting nonsense.

"I've heard that people in ancient times believed in ghosts. Do you think the designer might have put one or two ghosts in there?"

A teammate chimed in, "I've heard that people can't see ghosts, but ghosts can see people. They can do whatever they want to you, and most of them are evil spirits."

"Hey! Stop talking, I'm starting to picture it."

"Hahahaha, what kind of image do you have? You don't even know what it is, how can you have an image?"

The video subject suddenly turned around, opened the system interface, and the light shone on his face; the light was green.

The photo revealed two enormous nostrils and dark, black eyes.

His teammates were startled, and one of them instinctively threw a bomb at him.

"My mech commander, you scared me to death!"

"Oh!"

The bomb exploded, leaving the surrounding area in ruins.

Several small trees fell down, leaving only a dilapidated pit.

Thanks to the teammate protection mechanism, everyone is safe and sound.

The other teammates were quite resentful of the person who threw the bomb: "Why did you throw the bomb?!"

"He scared me, he's the real culprit!"

So the teammates turned their attention to the scary video protagonist, who made a face and said, "Coward, you're scared already."

"Yeah, that can scare people."

? ? ? ?

A voice other than that of a teammate appeared; it was that kind of weathered old man's voice, full of reverberation and indistinct.

It sounds terrifying.

But after being scared once, they were mentally prepared and none of them were afraid anymore.

Take out the lanterns that you put away earlier to create atmosphere, and search around.

What are you looking for?

The sound seemed to appear right next to my ear, accompanied by a chilly breeze, instantly giving me goosebumps.

"Who are you! Come out, or we'll gang up on you and beat you up."

"Yes, come out now. Don't think we won't hit you just because this is a peaceful area."

They searched for a long time but couldn't find anyone. The surroundings were quiet, without a sound.

Only then did they realize how eerily quiet it was.

"I could clearly hear a lot of insects chirping just now, but now I can't even hear the leaves rustling."

"Yes, it's too quiet."

They unconsciously slowed their footsteps, making the sound barely audible.

Don't scare yourself, just keep moving forward!

The voice spoke again: "It must be because I woke up that they quieted down. You'd better leave quickly and not disturb my sleep."

The sudden sound startled them!

"Ahhh, don't talk all of a sudden!"

Who are you?!

"come out."

"What are you talking about? I've been here the whole time. You guys are so noisy, if you keep making noise I won't be polite."

Suddenly, a black stick dangled from the tree above. The stick twisted twice, and a huge snake head appeared in the light.

He then transformed into a handsome man in black.

"Ahhh, that scared me to death!"

The player at the very front was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

The handsome man stared at him with a pair of eerie vertical pupils. "You all need to leave now."

The teammates behind had time to process what had happened and figure out who this person was.

Then the operation to snatch the guardian spirit began. There were six teammates on site, and whoever gained approval first could take the handsome man away.

He's so incredibly handsome!

The only girl in the team screamed, "Don't touch it, it's mine!"

"What do you mean 'your'? Get out of the way, it's mine!"

Her teammates pushed her away and came forward carrying various things.

"Great Immortal, what do you like? Just tell me, and I'll give you everything I have."

The handsome man stared at him for a moment, then smiled and said, "I want you. Will you give yourself to me?"

"Here you go!"

"Oh? Willingly?"

"Of course!"

Other teammates quickly stepped forward, "I'm willing too, Master, do you want me?"

"Me too, I'll give you whatever you want."

The immortal laughed, his smile growing wider and wider until it became increasingly ferocious, finally transforming into a giant snake head that swallowed all six people whole.

The video footage disappears here.

"Ahhh!"

"Ahhhh!"

"That scared me to death!"

........

They could also see the forked tongue inside the huge snake's head.

"How could Qingfengyi design such a terrifying scene? It's so scary."

"More terrifying than the Zerg."

At this point, the player uploaded another picture.

"Family, we've returned for our revenge. If you dare to eat me, be prepared for the challenge!" (Image)

In the picture, a large group of people are surrounding a handsome man in black.

Counting them up, there are over twenty, and some of them must be outside.

Many viewers, eager for gossip, frantically asked, "Which district? Which district? I'm on my way!"

"Recruit me into your team. I'm an expert and can be your bodyguard."

The person involved in the incident continued to post: "I started a live stream in Zone 8973, welcome to watch."

Everyone has switched to live streaming; it's too late to go to the venue now.

There's definitely a maximum number of people allowed in; you can't get in.

During the live stream, everyone surrounded the handsome man and shouted various things.

"Submit to me and come home with me, or I'll beat you up."

"Come home with me, and my family's master chef will unlock the entire menu, guaranteeing you a delicious and satisfying meal."

"You're so stingy! All you can do is give me something nice to eat? I have clothes, very fancy clothes, I'll give them all to you."

As the player spoke, she took out the clothes and showed them to the handsome man one by one.

"Tch, event props are still the most useful. My beauty, I have osmanthus cakes, osmanthus wine, osmanthus clothes, and osmanthus hairpins here. I won't restrict you. How about we go all the way to the maximum favorability rating?"

"What are you doing? Get out of here! We found it first."

Many people came to watch, and quite a few wanted to grab it.

Viewers watching the live stream were worried for them.

"Brother, look at the fortune teller! He's getting excited!"

In the live stream, the woman in black had a faint red glow in her eyes and a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth.

The streamer was still arguing with the player next to him who was trying to steal the player, completely ignoring the warnings in the chat.

At this moment, the protagonist who was robbed was surrounded by flames and radiating heat.

A giant snake with crimson scales appeared in the firelight, its head raised three meters off the ground.

With its forked tongue flicking out, it said, "You guys really like home delivery, huh? Well then, I won't be polite, hahaha!"

He laughed arrogantly.

"Run! The Great Immortal has turned evil!"

"Are you stupid? Why are you running, family? Charge! Defend the players' dignity!"

"rush!"

Players charged forward with weapons, their blades flashing and sparks flying as they slashed at the giant snake. The scene was chaotic, making it impossible to distinguish friend from foe.

We can still distinguish between friend and foe, after all, there's only one enemy.

At this moment, another team threw bombs into the center of the melee.

"Smash them to death, and we'll keep all the spoils!"

Smash it!

"Boom!"

"Damn it! This scoundrel has no sense of morality!"

"Fight back!"

"Yes, we'll die together, you scoundrel!"

What was supposed to be a normal battle between players and a giant snake has turned into a three-way melee involving players, players, and the giant snake.

The giant snake swallowed several players in one gulp.

After swallowing it, the pressure suddenly increased, and the player realized something was wrong.

"Ahhh, protect the players! These guys will get stronger if they eat people!"

"Ceasefire, ceasefire, attack the giant serpent first."

"Don't use bombs, you bastard! You're going to kill me!"

.......

The scene was very lively.

The live stream's popularity skyrocketed from just one or two newbies to 80 million viewers—it was incredible.

It was quickly featured in the fastest-growing live stream recommendations in the Aimore Starfield, and this recommendation could reach the entire StarNet.

The interstellar man was confused. "I've been seeing this 'gentle breeze' a lot lately. What is it?"

"I see it all the time, and the visuals are really interesting."

"It seems like it's about fighting the Zerg?"

"It's not about fighting the Zerg, it's about revenge. This monster is so strong, I really want to fight it!"

"what?"

Completely bewildered.

The giant snake, outnumbered and outmatched, was quickly overwhelmed and killed by the players.
