Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 293

"What are you talking about? You've made me cry so much, sob sob sob."

"Isn't that what life is like? In youth, we are carefree and have little to want or possess. We feel like we enjoy the best of life every day. But as we grow older, we realize that there are too many treasures in the world, and too much helplessness. In the end, we are left with only regrets. We cannot be greedy, we cannot be greedy. After our eyes have shone with stars, we turn away with tears welling up in our eyes..."

"Family members, what are you doing? Please don't do this. If you want something, work for it. Haven't you all already chosen what you love most?"

"Ah! Yes! I love fighting the most!"

"I love the clothes, they're really beautiful. I've carefully collected all the outfits and videos from each issue."

"I love weapons, and I've carefully collected every weapon that appears in each episode. (Video)"

"I like farming, hahaha. It's just that the land Qingfengyifang has is becoming increasingly insufficient, video, hehe."

"Hey, if you're looking to buy hay, add me."

"Looking to buy flowers? Add me, price negotiable."

"Looking to buy vegetables, price is negotiable."

"...What are you doing? Weren't you grieving just a second ago?"

"Is sadness more important than feeding my precious goldfish? Do you know how much a goldfish costs these days? They can die, and it's been extremely difficult for me to raise them to this point."

"Is sadness more important than my panda? My panda needs a whole basket of bamboo shoots, okay?"

"My panda is a picky eater, it only loves white jade bamboo shoots. I don't know who grows them, I'm looking to buy them, add me."

.......

The topic veered off course without them realizing it, and the disappointment of not being able to collect rare items slowly faded. Players began to think about areas that interested them, feeling somewhat lost and unsure where to start. They felt that every direction and element in Qingfengyi was incredibly fun, and everything was exceptionally beautiful.

However, it's still quite free. Limited-edition items are few and far between; most items can be purchased in the in-game store. The store has now grown into a massive multi-story mall, so large that new players might not be able to explore it all in a single day.

The nut carving event quietly came to an end, and Lin Shuying began brainstorming ideas for the next event.

She is also preparing an embroidery, a fine piece, which she has been working on for half a month. She sets aside half an hour every day to embroider; this is her prized possession for Qingfeng Yiliu.

She didn't need to do much work on this event; it was all done previously. She just needed to add some content and make minor improvements.

The rest was to be done by the company employees, which was also a time for Lin Shuying to test their skills. She was a little anxious, but time was tight, so she had no choice but to make the most of the time to train them as well as possible.

Many Chinese summoners also came to help, especially a tech tycoon. Don't let his background as a biological geneticist fool you; he has a profound understanding of traditional Chinese culture. He could even recount the stories of the Four Great Classical Novels and the general content of the entire Five Thousand Character Classic, which was incredibly impressive. Being older than Lin Shuhan, he knew far more than Lin Shuying.

In particular, he spoke eloquently about traditional Chinese medicine and the Book of Changes.

Lin Shuying admired him greatly.

The tech tycoon also came to deliver materials this time, and Lin Shuying asked curiously, "Senior, how do you know so much?"

The tech tycoon chuckled, “Because it’s familiar. Do you know how people kept time before the Gregorian calendar became widespread? Back then, there were no cell phones, no computers, no televisions. But most people, especially those in rural areas, knew the date. They remembered the zodiac animal associated with that day, month, and year, and its approximate auspiciousness or inauspiciousness. Later, almost no one knew that anymore, and many people even found it unbelievable. It turns out that every day, every month, and every moment has its own attributes and auspicious or inauspicious signs. They only knew about the zodiac year, and that twelve animals could be present at every moment.”

Lin Shuying felt especially proud of Chinese culture after hearing this!

"It's a pity that by my time, very few people knew the lunar calendar. Some elderly people liked to remember it and would consult it, and my parents would occasionally mention it. I was very curious when I first saw a lunar calendar. It was from an old master cheongsam maker. I found a calendar in his treasure box. He said that in the past, people would ask for a calendar when making clothes for funerals, so he prepared one. Later, most people stopped looking at it, and even some large companies didn't care when they opened. China's greatest invention thus became history. Only Taoist temples and Buddhist temples might still remember it. The only ones left were those published by the government."

Actually, back then, mobile phones and computers all had the Chinese lunar calendar dates, but many people didn't look at them. There were no annotations either. You could find many online, but fortune-telling software was rampant, and many of them were half-baked and nonsensical. Instead, the information compiled by national professional departments made it difficult for people to know who to believe.

The tech tycoon also sighed deeply, "Yes, it involves too many complexities, and I don't know the origins of it either."

This event was decided upon by the employees of Qingfengyi, and since the timing coincided with the Lantern Festival, everyone decided to do an event for the Lantern Festival. We had previously agreed to put on a serious show for the Lantern Festival every year, and we even included the Mid-Autumn Festival in our plans. Lin Shuying has already prepared the festival content; everyone just needs to upload the event and add some interesting supplementary content, such as this year's interstellar situation or trending topics.

Unfortunately, Qingfengyi was busy with new content creation activities, and this plan remained in the employees' minds and couldn't be released. It wasn't that it couldn't be done, but the content wouldn't pass Lin Shuying's review. She wanted to cultivate enough capable individuals to truly assist and nurture Chinese cultural content, and she was quite strict in this regard. Later, after learning she was a sacrifice from a time-space parallel, she became even stricter, because a successor and a talent or assistant are two different concepts and levels; if the successor wasn't properly cultivated, it could ultimately lead to the destruction of the nation and its people.

Lin Shuying didn't want anything to go wrong with what Qingfengyi carried. She didn't expect a family business to last forever, but at least she wanted to uphold the established rules. She would carefully record the rest of the instructions, and the successor only needed to follow them diligently.

She believed that as long as they maintained the status quo for three years, that would be enough!

The historical buoys brought about by the time-space alignment will be mostly salvaged. At that point, research can continue as long as it focuses on content related to China. Tech leaders have received information from historians and archaeologists that, at this pace, three years would be more than enough.

This speed is even the result of trying to save Lin Shuying and let her live longer.

Players had taken a two-month break, diligently completing the content of the walnut carving event and reflecting on their strategy. Time flew by, and before they knew it, the event update was here again.

This event was actually shut down for maintenance!

The servers were down for a whole day, leaving players stunned. This was the third time Qingfengyi had been shut down for maintenance since its release; the first was when Huaxia Jianghu was launched, which was Qingfengyi's second permanent dungeon with a massive map.
