Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 278

Since Qingfengyi can't provide them with the sales event they want, why don't they organize one themselves?

"I think what Mancang Antiques said makes a lot of sense, sir. Why don't you give me some specific advice?"

"Yes, yes, yes, the advice given by Qingfengyi, the expert who is best at finding loopholes, must be super awesome."

"Aren't you worried that he made the suggestion with some ulterior motive?"

What benefits can he gain from this kind of activity?

Everyone fell silent again, wondering what this guy could possibly gain from this. After thinking for a while, it seemed like he wouldn't get any benefit other than showing off his wealth.

A group of wealthy people like Deng Yijun understood his idea to some extent, but that idea applied to them as well, so they mobilized their subordinates to set the pace. Soon, the suggestion that the players themselves hold a sales event was unanimously approved.

The event is scheduled to take place in the main city area, and many people have suggested the Huaxia Jianghu map, since it has a large map and enough space for players to roam freely. However, combat players find it annoying, as the previous Porcelain event serves as a cautionary tale.

They just want to happily flaunt their wealth and showcase their collections. They don't want their businesses to be vandalized from time to time, even if they end up receiving compensation.

Stall owners hate it when people vandalize their stalls; it's incredibly frustrating. And since they can't fight back, they can only get angry. Although in the world of martial arts, white-named players who are attacked receive good luck, while the attackers suffer bad luck, this system doesn't seem so enjoyable after a while.

This is why many designers and studios constantly create new games and hold events for existing ones. Players' interest is very short-lived; they quickly lose interest in the current game content, and without injecting new content, it's impossible to retain players.

Soon, the main city became lively. Everyone preferred the open space under the player's pavilion tower, where there was a lot of traffic. In addition, they felt safer under their own player's pavilion tower; if something happened, they could just shout and the people in their pavilion would come out immediately to quell the situation.

However, a player's tower can contain many other player towers, and the size of the territory below must be determined by strength.

Jin Yu Man Tang was targeted again, and it was only then that everyone realized: Wow, Jin Yu Man Tang has so many experts.

The "Golden Jade Hall" incident was already outrageous, but Sister Xunmei's "Overlord Pavilion" was also acting recklessly. You must know that the Overlord Pavilion is the player pavilion with the highest combat power in Qingfengyi. With Sister Xunmei, the top combat power player, everyone who joins under her influence is a high-level player and a warmonger.

The Grand Marshal could have won first place, but after his vacation ended, he rarely had the chance to come into the game anymore, only during his fixed daily training time. Once inside, he didn't do any quests, but instead sought out NPCs in the Chinese martial arts world to duel and learn martial arts.

The Jin Yu Man Tang faction's combat strength is also quite high, all thanks to their generous benefits. Especially after the emergence of spiritual herbs in Deng Yijun's restoration secret realm, countless high-level fighters were poached there.

High-level warriors are selective about who they want, believe it or not!

The others had no choice but to silently make way.

The Overlord Pavilion still had a strong sense of brotherhood; when they came here, they gave their spots to the player pavilions here, leaving the allocation to them. An added benefit was that they could directly ask Overlord Pavilion members for help once they arrived, a benefit that caused a fierce competition among the player pavilions here, ultimately resulting in the Luanyan Pavilion getting the opportunity.

While cracking sunflower seeds, Sister Xunmei reached out to Deng Yijun and said, "Give me the benefits of my affair with you first."

Deng Yijun frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense! We're cooperating, what do you mean by illicit relations? Did you fail your compulsory education? Here, remember that what you buy is mine. If you take it for yourself, don't blame me for being ruthless."

After saying that, he handed over a box containing a purple spirit herb that could enhance the spiritual power level of the guardian spirit.

Sister Xunmei accepted it with a smile, then summoned her White Fairy and gave it to her. The White Fairy secretly glanced at Deng Yijun, took out the spiritual herb from the box, and ate it.

Immediately, her spiritual energy increased slightly, though not by much. Sister Xunmei seemed a little unsatisfied, and said with a smile, "Give me some more, look, my Bai Bai is about to level up, just ten plants, how about it?"

Deng Yijun rolled her eyes: "Hurry up and go collect the rare items, otherwise I can find a way to make you give up this plant for nothing."

Sister Xunmei clicked her tongue twice, "Why are you being so fierce? You're so stingy. Bye-bye, let's go rob someone, hehe."

Robbery is out of the question; fighting is prohibited outside the main city's arena area. Before, a minor skirmish was possible; back then, the Black and White Impermanence would appear with special effects, giving players a few seconds to land a few more punches before capturing them. Now, a fight is over in less than a second; they might even capture someone first and then add the special effects.

This action shocked all the players. Even after everyone had left, the special effects lingered, creating the illusion that something eerie had emerged from the gates of hell. Initially, everyone was unaware of the appearance of the Black and White Impermanence (a powerful deity in Chinese mythology), as they could see and knew what they were. But now... the gate was open, the atmosphere eerie, yet no one came in or went out. After a while, it mysteriously vanished amidst lightning and thunder.

It gave me the illusion that a ghost had flown out.

After this Underworld event, players' understanding of ghosts and spirits has increased significantly, and they genuinely find it terrifying.

Sister Xunmei isn't afraid of these things; she's already completed two trips to the underworld, so she's even less afraid of them. It's just that she's currently tied up with Deng Yijun's mission, which is causing her some delay.

Her task was to gather information on what players participating in the auction would be selling and their approximate asking prices. Those with abundant resources, of course, used their resources strategically to collect items for this event, including many rare and exclusive items that couldn't be missed, even if they ultimately had to be shared by the entire organization.

Resource gathering is wealth accumulation, and he doesn't trust those who aren't his own people, so unimportant trivial matters can only be outsourced. Maximizing profits is what he needs; cultivating spiritual herbs continuously, exchanging one for the entire Overlord Pavilion to do tasks—it's too good to be true.

Sister Xunmei, of course, knew about this treacherous person's scheme, but she didn't care.

The goal of Bajun Pavilion is to become the strongest force in Qingfengyi, the kind that consistently dominates the rankings. They've completed the first step; the second step is maintaining their position. Maintaining their position is the most difficult, and Deng Yijun gave them advice: become the most powerful bodyguard team in Qingfengyi.

Partnering with Deng Yijun is a great shortcut to becoming the most powerful bodyguard team, because Jin Yumantang has the most assets.

It's not that they're rich; the richest are those players who quietly save up money. They've even formed a player's guild: the Pixiu Guild.

Coincidentally, the player, focused solely on accumulating and saving money, stumbled upon a Pixiu (a mythical creature) carved on a beam in the main city. Whether attracted by its attributes, its beauty, or simply a shared interest, he fell in love with this divine beast. After enthusiastically researching it, he discovered that the Pixiu symbolizes wealth, only taking in and never giving out, bringing abundant fortune. It can also predict good and bad luck, bringing auspiciousness in times of trouble.
