Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 327

Unlike Qingfengyi, which only has one server, it's difficult for the Star Pirates to obtain data. Even obtaining data from the bridged planets is challenging because the bridge is merely a pathway, allowing players on the local planet to connect to the main server, without any actual game data interaction. Otherwise, there would be low-spec versions of Qingfengyi everywhere by now.

That's just how the world is. As long as humanity exists, there will inevitably be different thoughts, and different thoughts will inevitably lead to different paths. There's no need to worry about it; just quietly be yourself.

This is what players of Qingfengyi are thinking now, and it's probably also what the Qingfengyi design team is thinking.

The Tower of Babel and the Pagoda of Treasures caused such a huge commotion that everyone was too busy to be shocked or envious of the special abilities of the teleportation title. All they had to do was rush to the scene and see just how incredible the existence was to cause such a commotion.

When everyone arrived at Tianyuan, the summoning process had already ended. A huge crack appeared in the ground, and a golden pagoda rose up from one side, while another slightly weathered and ancient pagoda with a rustic color rose up from the other side.

The two pagodas soar into the sky; when there are clouds, their spires are not visible, but when there are no clouds, their spires are clearly visible. The base alone has more than a hundred steps, circular steps, but above it is an octagonal pagoda.

The steps and railings of the Hundred Treasures Pagoda are made of white jade and inlaid with many gemstones and pearls, which shimmer in the sunlight. There are more than two hundred kinds of gemstones. All the materials and gemstones that Qingfengyi has can be found here. Some gemstones are even the size of a washbasin. They have not been carved, but their surfaces have been polished to a mirror finish by the years. The purest beauty does not need to be studied or examined carefully. Its beauty shines through itself.

The surrounding divine beasts and immortals are all inlaid with gold and precious materials, each one majestic and luxurious, exuding a nouveau riche vibe.

Who isn't a common person? If you don't like gold, what else do you like?

Who doesn't love something magnificent!

The interstellar people were the same; both towers appeared simultaneously, but the simple, towering structure next to it went unnoticed, while the treasure tower was buzzing with camera shutters, along with the sounds of crowbars and sledgehammers. Upon closer inspection, it turned out someone was prying open gems!

Many onlookers, seeing that Erlang Shen and the heavenly soldiers hadn't come to arrest them, worked even harder at prying the gems—they'd never worked so hard in their lives. Even just taking one of those gems, even as a game item, would bring them immense joy.

"I think I am a descendant of the dragon because I like sparkly things just like the dragon, hehe."

"The dragon's love for sparkly things is a setting in Barbie Fashion, but the dragon in Qingfengyi is a rich one, hehe. So I am still a descendant of the dragon."

"Damn it, why can't I pry it off? I've already broken two of my crowbars."

Not only did people pry it open, but some even called out all their retainers and pets to help. Those that could fly stood on higher ground, while those that couldn't flew stayed on lower ground, and the people ran around moving the mythical beasts from each large platform.

If you can't just put it in your backpack, then pry it open.

Some were burned.

They put in a lot of firewood to burn, but after burning for a long time there was no reaction, so they wondered if the temperature wasn't high enough. Then the Great World shouted, "Who knows how to burn iron in a blast furnace? Come and burn the Golden Beast. It's a 50/50 chance."

"Why should I fight you to a draw? Watch me burn the golden beast; it's red-hot and about to melt. (Picture attached)"

The picture shows the golden beast inside the blast furnace, glowing a deep red. It's so red it's almost translucent, but there's no sign of it melting.

"Wow, this burnt monster looks amazing. Should we add some flux? I have some magnesium powder here, add a little, it's a big bag for fifty coins, that should be enough."

"I'll take some, join the team. Fifty silver coins to start, I won't log off until this golden beast is burned away today."

"Dream on, they'll force you offline then."

……

The operation was outrageous; wherever there was a golden beast on the steps, a blast furnace was piled up.

Elsewhere, the area is densely covered with guest spirits and pets, including bamboo fairies, flower fairies, seasonal fairies, pandas, red pandas, black tigers...

Even the Kitchen God helped pry it open with a fire poker, and the God of Cookery swung his iron ladle around like lightning.

When asked why, there was only one reason: the owner said he'd dig it up and exchange it for a gold spoon...

It was impossible to burn the golden beast away. Everyone burned it for a whole day and night, but all they got was a reddish hue. Then many people gave up, and people started researching other things and ways to play.

Upon entering the pagoda, I discovered a hidden paradise inside!

Some stubborn people insisted on burning it, even though the official rules didn't say you couldn't burn it and take it with you. The buildings in the main city all indicated invincibility, but there was no such indication here, so it was definitely possible to take it; people just hadn't noticed. Then many methods for burning the golden beast appeared: accelerants, fluxing agents, blast furnace techniques, heat preservation methods—burning it until the temperature near the pagoda increased by a few degrees, and they still stubbornly continued burning it.

I never expected a miracle to actually happen!

One player used a method to burn away a wealthy player's gold-plated building, adding whatever could be heated in the world chat without hesitation. All the added materials did melt and slowly be absorbed by the gold beast, but the gold beast itself remained unchanged.

The furnace exploded at its limit, releasing a blinding golden light. The system then notified the player: "Congratulations to player 'Flying Machine Master' for successfully crafting the Hundred Treasures Pagoda's guardian beast, upgrading it from level one to level two. A reward pack is hereby awarded; please check your account."

amount……

The player was stunned for a long time. This was...

There really was interaction, and it was activated by sheer chance!

It's not a coincidence, it's that the designers and players have completely different thought processes.

Qingfengyi was also stunned. The gameplay content that was supposed to be released later had been activated by the players ahead of time!

Who exactly has the perseverance and patience to invest so much resources to activate this gameplay?

Yes, the Twin Towers can be refined, provided a significant amount of valuable items are invested. It's also a perpetual motion machine for obtaining so-called "Primordial Treasures," and a clever trick for excessively accumulating game item resources. Many games eventually face the problem of numerical inflation and item surplus. While Lin Shuying isn't a professional game designer, Wei Linwei is. His own game, due to a lack of updates in a long time, was plagued by this issue of item surplus. Simultaneously, the failure to update with new gameplay elements led to stagnant player power and boredom.

He wanted to abandon his starship combat game and shut it down, a plan that Lin Shuying discovered during a discussion with the team. Lin Shuying felt it would be such a waste to shut down a game that had been created with so much effort.

She didn't understand how game designers viewed their games, but putting herself in their shoes, she would be heartbroken if her painstakingly designed hairpins were discarded. Whether it was a hairpin she designed as a novice or a masterpiece she created after becoming a seasoned expert, she loved them all. Each one was a labor of love, and she cherished them all.

It's more like a recorder that witnesses growth, so why put it aside or give it up?

So she suggested selling his game to the company and collaborating with Qingfengyi, so that Qingfengyi could be made available to other players in another form.
