Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 308

As soon as the video was released, many players flocked to the Huaxia Jianghu.

This restaurant was popular, with many customers spending over twenty taels of silver. Quite a few had already dined there four times. The restaurant continuously brought out rare delicacy trees, each tree yielding a different dish. The players stared in disbelief and drooled over the dishes; they looked delicious and smelled wonderful – who could resist?

The world channel is buzzing with excitement.

"Data players, come out! Data players, come out!"

"Looking for a guide on how to obtain the Delicacy Tree?"

"Looking for a guide on how to obtain the Delicacy Tree?"

"Looking for a guide on how to obtain the Delicacy Tree?"

........

Soon, everyone adopted the same rhetoric, pleading with data experts and gurus to step in and lead the way. They needed at least some direction; otherwise, they genuinely didn't know how to obtain the data.

Data enthusiasts were also bewildered, especially the veteran data analysts who had consistently posted accurate data over the years. They were receiving the most private messages, sometimes exceeding 9999—too many to handle. Within Qingfengyi, there was a player community primarily composed of data analysts, now surrounded by a large crowd, with everyone asking if they knew anything about data.

The player being asked was speechless. They explained that data collection requires on-site investigation and basic data to draw conclusions. How could they get data if the person hadn't even been there?

Many data gurus were surrounded in the player section. Although they could simply return to their own base and escape, this situation was still frustrating, giving them the feeling of being besieged.

Many data experts then spoke out in the world chat:

"Everyone, stop blocking the player's pavilion. We need to go out and investigate and collect data. Without any information, no one can analyze the results."

Ironically, players can probably only find data-driven players in the Player Pavilion. This is because they gather their data and then return here to discuss it. Compared to anyone's home or any inn or tavern outside, the Player Pavilion is far more popular with data-driven players. After all, people who enjoy calculations and data processing have a researcher's spirit; they prefer to conduct their research in specific places. That allows them to focus better, creates a better atmosphere, and some simply enjoy that atmosphere.

Upon hearing this, many players didn't leave but instead sent private messages. Players who obtained the Treasure Tree privately messaged each other about their actions during that period, personally providing data support. Players who didn't obtain the Treasure Tree inquired everywhere, and upon receiving the news, they couldn't wait to send private messages to their most trusted data experts.

"The big boss doesn't need to go out and collect data, we'll provide it immediately. Just say what you need, everyone here! Step forward and let the big boss see our sincerity."

Data enthusiasts are frustrated; they enjoy the data collection process and also like to watch the excitement. This situation is really putting them at a loss...

That's one thing, but the things that need to be done still need to be done.

Everyone gathered the data and information from other players in the player forum, quickly organized the content, verified it, and then sent it as a document to the world channel.

After posting, he sighed deeply, "Being famous isn't all that great. Now I can finally go out and have fun. I want a rare delicacy tree too."

As soon as he finished speaking, many cabinet members echoed his sentiments and prepared to leave immediately.

At this point, a true expert who was obsessed with statistical analysis asked, "Aren't you all curious about who among us receives the most information, and who is considered the real expert by the players?"

Um......

Their steps faltered; now that they were talking about this, no one was curious about the commotion on the Chinese martial arts world. For data-driven players, what could be more enticing than the recognition of others?

Of course, they keep the results internally. Right now, Jufulou is bustling with activity, since the conditions for obtaining the Treasure Tree have been revealed, and everyone's rushing there.

Data posted by players on the world chat channel shows that you can obtain it by spending 20 taels or more of silver each time, and doing so five times. Super easy!

However, each consumption must be at least half an hour apart, otherwise the NPCs will consider it the same banquet and only count it once. They even calculated the approximate number of this item that would appear and the probability of duplicates. Truly impressive data-driven players, incredibly efficient.

This time, the "Tree of Delicacies" event features eight major Chinese cuisines: Sichuan spicy, Shandong culinary, Cantonese, Suzhou, Fujian, Hunan, and Anhui, each with its own unique characteristics and history, developing its own distinctive style on the land of China. Beyond the eight major cuisines, many smaller regional dishes and farm-style flavors are also featured on the tree. With tens of thousands of dishes on display, who wouldn't be overwhelmed? Even the most hardcore collectors would probably eat their fill just to collect a small portion; obtaining the complete set requires considerable effort.

The nouveau riche no longer expect to spend money. In Qingfengyi, money is not everything, although you can't do anything without it.

Many people no longer sell valuable items outside; they keep them all for themselves.

There are actually very few professional gamers; most are just playing for a little extra money, their main purpose being to play the game. When the earnings are roughly equal, who cares about that extra bit of money? Can money buy rare, discontinued items?

Can money buy the joy of games?

Can money buy enjoyment?

No, when money becomes the purpose of playing games, everything changes. Just like turning a hobby into a job, people without perseverance and unwavering faith will eventually lose all passion for their hobbies.

People living in interstellar communities enjoy such good welfare benefits that they tend to have a more relaxed attitude towards life.

But some players persevered and actually collected the entire set!

Tens of thousands of dishes! It's staggering to see them displayed in a showcase.

Some people are collecting rare delicacy trees, while others are collecting gourmet foods. If you collected all tens of thousands of recipes and gave them to the God of Cookery, wouldn't your dream of eating a lifetime of dishes without repeating a single meal be realized?!

Just thinking about it makes me laugh!

We are all inheritors of Chinese civilization, and who isn't a foodie?

At this moment, the genetic inheritance truly overlapped!

Foodie tendencies have awakened; wherever there is delicious food, there is a foodie's unwavering faith.

Just as the treasure tree's Easter eggs were unleashed, another set of Easter eggs from five thousand years of history appeared, including the Four Great Classical Novels and the Five Great Classical Novels. Many culture enthusiasts and book lovers were so excited their blood pressure soared. Who would have thought that Qingfengyi could also read and conduct cultural research?

Not long after the book easter egg was released, a piece of news was searched by Qingfengyi players and became a hot topic on the StarCraft Network: Lin Zhiqing and his book.

Lin Zhiqing is a senior researcher at the official biological and genetic research institute, holding a high position. He researched and copied several historical books and classic texts that record the history of our ancestors. Although many details are still missing, the work is largely complete.

The books are available online and in physical bookstores, including in "The Enlightenment of Things". Lin Zhiqing's copies and remaining fragments are placed together, hoping that more archaeologists will find more data to corroborate these copied books.
