Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 214

The player who posted the picture of the bracelet quickly replied, "Not for sale. Only a spendthrift would sell his personal assets."

One sentence offended many people.

"Upstairs, if you're so capable, then don't try to buy it!"

"That's the opinion of a minority, it doesn't represent us. We ordinary players think that any asset can be sold, because only by selling can the economy circulate. We're willing to pay a lot for rare items, DM us if you're interested."

Players who have been searching for rare, discontinued items were startled, worried that a single comment might ruin their buying market. As buyers, they naturally encourage sellers to actively sell; otherwise, what will they buy?

Some sellers don't like being called spendthrifts. It's just a game item; who would be foolish enough to let it be useless in the game if it could be exchanged for real money? It's just that Qingfengyi is currently very popular, and its value is increasing rapidly, so everyone is holding back.

While the audience and players were arguing, something strange happened inside the Dragon Palace: a stunningly beautiful woman emerged from behind a tall coral.

She wore a sleeveless red jacket embroidered with carp and beads, with a gold-pink undergarment and wide sleeves trimmed with deep gold. A blue and gold apron with a coiled dragon adorned her waist, with red silk tassels swaying on both sides. A koi-shaped jade pendant made of bloodstone embellished her outfit, and her fair wrists were adorned with three gold bracelets, one of which had a gold bell hanging from it.

The collar around her neck features a dragon biting its tail, with a large sapphire in the center.

Her hair was styled in a flying fairy bridge bun, adorned with many shrimp and crab hairpins made of pearls, gold thread, and gemstones. Under the illumination of the luminous pearl, it shone like the sun.

With rosy cheeks, bright almond eyes, long and slender willow-leaf eyebrows, and glistening red lips, she looked at the anchor with some wariness.

The anchor was stunned for a moment, not expecting anyone to be there!

The beauty didn't approach, standing there coldly saying, "Who are you, and why have you entered my boudoir? You wanted one treasure, and I've already given you one. Do you want more? Don't be greedy, or I'll kill you!"

The viewers watching the live stream burst into laughter.

"Look at that beauty, she's saying the harshest things while making the most frightened expression. I love it!"

"Haha, all you have is your verbal bravado."

"I knew a pillow shouldn't break coral, it turns out it was the owner who made it."

"The one in front is Zhenxin. She didn't appear, and no props hit her. How could it be her?"

"That's right, our beauty looks so delicate and frail, how could she possibly pry up a piece of coral?"

"I think it's because that coral just happened to have a crack, and the streamer was lucky enough to encounter it."

"You all care about Coral, but does anyone care that this is someone's boudoir? How can you damage and covet a beauty's house and treasures!"

"I'm still thinking about the beauty."

"I'm thinking about the beauty!"

.......

After regaining his composure, the host said, "How can you prove this is your room? The room I saw first is mine, unless you give me that seashell bed."

The beauty flew into a rage, her eyes growing even colder. "You audacious scoundrel! I forgive you for not knowing your daughter slept in my bed, and now you want mine! I'll kill you!"

Suddenly, a gleaming silver sword materialized in his hand, slashing at the streamer. The streamer, a combat player who had learned many moves in Qingfeng Yili, also drew a sword and began to clash. In the world of Huaxia Jianghu, where players collect materials, those without considerable skill would be robbed by others.

The beauty hadn't expected the lecherous man to have some skill, and she became serious as well, saying, "You're asking for death, so don't blame me!"

As she spoke, her moves became increasingly fierce. These moves were imbued with magical power, and her weapons were magical artifacts and spirit weapons. The streamer's ordinary sword had no chance of withstanding them. The only reason she could put up a fight before was because the beauty was being kind and hadn't activated the magical artifact's attributes.

In an instant, the beauty's sword cleaved the streamer's sword in two, the break perfectly smooth. The streamer ducked at the last second, dodging the sword aimed at his neck, and rolled away. With no resistance, the beauty's sword struck the nearby coral, severing a large section of it.

The streamer, seeing a clownfish about to escape from its anemone nest on the coral, quickly went over and put it in his backpack. Then, as if discovering a new continent, he started pulling out various weapons and guiding the beauty to chop at the coral, specifically directing her to chop at the most beautiful ones. The beauty, in the heat of the moment, didn't notice at all.

After the desired corals have been cut down to a certain extent, the streamer guides the beauty to cut down the coral walls and coral props that are inlaid with gems around her.

I even took the time to collect all the broken coral fragments into my backpack.

As long as the beauty doesn't use those mysterious tricks like the guardian spirit, he can hold out for two or three hours!

Unfortunately, the beauty realized he was using her and went berserk. Her shawl flew off and wrapped around him, then she cleaved him in two with a single sword stroke.

"I was thinking that no one had come here for a hundred years, and I was getting a little bored, so I thought I'd play around with you. You've got some nerve, daring to take advantage of me!"

The streamer was killed, and the items he had previously collected in his backpack were lost!

Viewers could clearly see the streamer explode into a shower of sparks after he died in the live stream; it was quite thrilling.

"It feels like I've returned to the original Zhilan Mountain in my dreams."

"Haha, back in the day, the flower-planting activities were truly a disaster, with chrysanthemums scattered all over the ground."

"You veteran players are so mean! I never got to experience that beautiful process of getting loot."

"Come on, let the new players see this. It was really fun back then. Here's the video."

The video shows a beautiful scene taken by this player: their friend falls from a great height, their backpack filled with flowers and petals. As they fall to their death, countless points of light explode, revealing loot, and the ground is strewn with flowers—absolutely stunning. Later in the video, someone else is hired to kill them in mid-air, just so that the flowers will fall and shower down upon them upon their death, creating a truly beautiful moment.

Many viewers were green with envy after watching the video. Now, to recreate such a scene, you'd need players to fly high into the air and shower petals. But achieving that concentrated shower is incredibly difficult. Back then, a player's inventory typically contained tens of thousands of flowers of all kinds. Tens of thousands of flowers carried up in a net would form a mountain-like mass, extremely eye-catching. When they fell, they either scattered haphazardly or clustered together like rocks. The "exploding inventory" effect, however, had official special effects, resembling fireworks, but instead of scattering, they fell perfectly.

People below looked up and saw a perfect shower of petals.

"Ahhh, I really hope the official team will do it again!"

"Looking forward to it, but please don't let that event have any limited-edition items. Maybe we should have another flower-planting event."

"Let's plant flowers, let's all go and farm them! Maybe the official event will bring back the flower planting event. My Flower Fairy is finally getting a chance!"

"My flower fairy! Family, charge!"

For some inexplicable reason, the players' attention shifted to Qingfengyi, and they became fixated on the flower event.

The person who had just emerged from the Dragon Palace immediately checked their backpack; they would be devastated if everything except the coral had been destroyed. It contained so many materials and items, worth a fortune in gold ingots.

After looking at it, I felt a little relieved; none of them were missing except for the coral I had collected.

His viewers, who had sharp eyes, noticed that the original piece of coral was still there. They all asked him to take a look and see if it was the same size as before.

It's small and looks a bit like an icon in the backpack.

The streamer was so upset he almost broke down, he didn't even have time to read the comments.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief after refreshing my inventory twice. It was only on the second refresh that I noticed the coral, and I excitedly took it out to examine it. The system noted: "A gift from the Dragon Girl, suitable as an ornament."

It's about 30 centimeters tall when you take it out, and it has a golden orange seashell attached to it, which is very pretty.

Coral is comparable to gemstones and has been highly sought after in China since ancient times. Many ornaments and decorative items are made of coral, and some coral ornaments are priceless.

The interstellar people had never seen anything like this before. It had only appeared in the form of beads or similar objects, making it completely unrecognizable. Now, with such a large one placed here, the house suddenly felt incredibly luxurious.

The host used a tray from a previous lacquerware event as a base. The tray was quite thick and came with a 5cm base. It was made of substantial pear wood, with a black lacquer base, red plum blossoms, and gilded plum blossom branches. It complemented the lower half of the coral, which was a clear, vibrant blood-red that subtly revealed a hint of ruby, and the upper half, which was a medium red that transitioned to a light red before turning completely red at the top. The coral resembled a deer antler and had a nice shape, but the shell stuck at the forked point created a slightly incongruous beauty.

The ornament was placed in the center of Xiaoyi Residence, but after some adjustments, it was felt that the current decoration was not quite right. For a single coral ornament, this frugal player, who only wanted to save money, actually spent hundreds of thousands of gold ingots to buy the new skin for Xiaoyi Residence. After purchasing the skin, they hired a professional house decorator to decorate the house, paying 30,000 gold ingots just for labor, plus various ornaments!

It adds up to well over a million gold ingots...

In the end, the player felt the pinch and compromised by buying skins and only decorating the living room.

I bought the skin because I frequent this site, and it looks nicer and more comfortable. I saved money on other areas, keeping the official decor is fine. The central living room had to be renovated to match the coral decorations.

It's worth it, since he's the only one with this coral right now. If the Dragon Palace Secret Realm is triggered less often in the future, the coral could be sold for who knows how many gold ingots.

After calculating for a while, he suddenly changed his game goal. He decided to become the richest person, not the one with the most gold ingots. He seemed unable to catch up with other players who wanted the most gold ingots; the wealth leaderboard kept changing, with Deng Yijun consistently in first place. However, Deng Yijun had converted many assets into a down payment, while the second-place player had genuine gold ingots.

Don't ask how I know he has all gold ingots, because he's on the leaderboard for every event, and the reason he's on the leaderboard is that he's the player with the most gold ingots.

The previous event showed that tens of billions of gold ingots have already been deposited!

Not even counting silver and copper coins, many big spenders have asked him for loans, but he won't lend them a single one. Qingfengyi always manages to resist participating in events that recycle in-game currency, and he sells all the items he gets, including rare and limited-edition items.

This last one is really hard to do. Who would be willing to sell Qingfengyi's rare props?

This player didn't have any retainers; he sold them all. Each retainer is asking for at least 500,000. Players like this, who are usually not very popular, are different. Anyone with money is his friend; his goal is to build good relationships so he can buy good items first.
