Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 323

There were already many player exhibition halls in Qingfengyi that were dedicated to showcasing their works. However, after a while, the owners of the items gradually lost interest and enjoyment. Now, with the exhibition hall rankings, that passion has returned!

"I like this exhibition hall ranking, hehe. I'm going to open it now, my exhibition hall hasn't been open for two months."

"Oh ho ho, family, look at this! A picture, a picture."

The image shown by this player displays several achievements: titles such as "Auspicious Start," "King of Sales," "Wealth Brings from the Pixiu," and "Open Sources from All Corners of the World," along with several corresponding title borders. The borders are particularly shiny, super beautiful, and cool.

At this moment, a player spoke up, not because his message was flashy, but because his avatar was flashy!

"Just a title, achievement accomplished. Image image."

This player is Deng Yijun, whose game name is 'Full Warehouse of Antiques'. At this moment, his avatar isn't his player profile picture or a photo he took himself, but rather an adorable, shimmering golden cat?

No, cats have fur, but this is a combination of scales and fur, with a majestic and imposing appearance, exuding a kind of nouveau riche vibe. Just looking at it gives off that "I'm very rich" feeling, radiating wealth.

Clicking on his profile picture will actually bring up a picture that says he is a mythical beast called Pixiu.

It floated out, displayed its annotations, and then roared to the sky, spewing out countless gold ingots from its mouth, even more extravagantly than the God of Wealth scattering money back then.

Many players were stunned!

"My mech grand marshal, what is this thing?"

"That's so cool! How did you get it? It's not the only one, is it?"

Mancang Antiques, sporting a super cool avatar, said, "No, you can get this avatar if you open more than five exhibition halls and each hall has more than 20,000 visitors. It's not that difficult."

"Isn't it difficult? But does anyone have products that need to be displayed in five showrooms?"

"Can I display the vegetables I grow? Would that count as an exhibition hall?"

"Then let me show you my flowers. I've planted so many, and I can't bear to sell them all, so I'm keeping them until they disappear. I also have a lot of mutated flowers; my house is almost overflowing."

"Haha, look at my profile picture!"

This player's avatar is composed of countless tiny green spheres, looking vibrant and incredibly cute. Clicking on it reveals numerous adorable little fairies shaped like leaves and petals, each one irresistibly charming. They circle the player, then transform into beautiful and artistically crafted bonsai. These bonsai are all cultivated by this bonsai enthusiast, and have won awards and ranked highly on the bonsai leaderboard. Therefore, many of them are familiar to everyone; the top ten works from each leaderboard are displayed in the next event's top ten, making it difficult not to recognize them.

"I love this! Ahhh, how do I get it! If all my little flowers could be displayed to me like this anytime, I'd be willing to give up a ton of gold ingots."

"I hope to be surrounded by my family's retainers. Could anyone who has obtained it come out and show it off?"

"Why do you still need to display your guest advisors? Don't you always carry them with you?"

"Yeah, I don't understand why the profile picture has to be changed to a guest's display, hahaha."

"I wish all my pet babies could become my profile picture, hehe. That way, when people click on it, they'll know how many pet babies I have and how well I take care of them."

.......

It's no wonder that this was something every game company was vying to create back in Lin Shuying's era. It's said that wealthy players would spend hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars just for a single avatar. Back then, it was just a picture, and even though it was later made into 3D and animated, it wasn't as exaggerated as the one in Qingfengyi now. That's why Qingfengyi caused such a huge stir.

The Pixiu avatar is available to anyone, but other avatars are more difficult to obtain. This is because not everyone enjoys putting in the effort in other areas, and even if they do, it's difficult if they're not skilled. Therefore, most skilled players obtain avatars that are essentially exclusive to them.

But an open world should be like this: every player can find joy and reward in their own direction, instead of having no choice but to follow others in a direction they don't like because there are no rewards or equivalent compensation for that direction. Many players prefer the avatar in their own direction, and they can strive for avatars in other directions, but once they don't find the same joy, they lose their aspirations.

The game has just been updated, and most players don't have avatars yet. Only those who started showcasing their treasures and opening exhibitions earlier have gotten them. But don't worry, if you don't get it in one event cycle, try another. It's a long-term event anyway, so taking your time is more enjoyable.

There's no rushing it. Currently, Qingfengyi has a few non-tradable quests, and the avatars are also non-tradable; you just have to work hard for it yourself. Looking at the avatars and frames that match their preferences on the announcement, many players feel they could dedicate their entire lives to achieving them!

The exhibition hall gameplay was added midway through the event, which confused many players who seemed to have forgotten the main storyline of this event and were busy setting up their own exhibition halls.

Some livestreamers are very good at capitalizing on trending topics and specifically seek out unique exhibition halls.

The top-tier exhibition hall at Mancang Antiques was already packed with people, with long queues for entry, so there wasn't much new to say. The novelty lies in the recently opened exhibition hall, which is incredibly interesting.

One player has actually collected every single plant that has appeared in the game since its release!

I never intended to show it to anyone before; I kept it hidden away in my house, wishing there were multiple layers of walls to prevent anyone from peeping. But this time, I actually brought it all out, and it was all of it.

Many players were incredulous at the sheer number of plants available in the "Gentle Breeze" event. There are event-themed plants, such as bamboo—all the bamboo species that have appeared before are here. There are also currently available flowers, which are quite common; even high-level flowers are readily available if you want to plant them, and unlocking them doesn't take much time. Most players have already unlocked them, as a garden filled with flowers is truly beautiful.

The rest are plants that appear in various dungeons: pine trees, chestnuts, raspberries, golden bell trees, spirit herbs, and so on—they're all here. There are even many weeds on the ground here!

You wouldn't believe it until you see it! Qingfengyi boasts over a thousand types of weeds, more than a hundred kinds of wild fruits, over two hundred kinds of wildflowers, and over six hundred kinds of trees. Many are unnamed, leaving one wondering if the designers arbitrarily added them to enhance the realism and vegetation richness of the environment, or if they are based on real plants. This player, unable to find names or corresponding information for the plants, simply named them according to their own ideas and created plant biographies.

The exhibition hall was decorated in a super forest-themed style, set in a village near the foot of a mountain on the Huaxia Jianghu map. Looking at the courtyard, you could tell it had been in operation for a long time; outside was a large vegetable garden, surrounded by a small fence. The simple wooden door creaked when pushed.
