Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 241

They were drooling over the 'golden couple' in the video, exclaiming, "What kind of dolls are these? I feel like bringing them home will make everyone have more babies!"

"Boss, we definitely need one. If we just give one to every household, won't the kids just come pouring in?"

"Yes! But giving away physical copies is a bit too much. It would be better to print some pictures and stick them up door to door."

"Great idea, that's a good idea."

"Hurry up and control the comments, they've already taken the money. If you don't do it well this time, they won't come back to pay you next time."

This is the bottom line for business people: they must retain repeat customers.

Unfortunately, they ran into a tough opponent. In any case, Qingfengyi's players always had many very tempting explanations, which made the group of space pirates almost surrender and become good people.

"Qingfengyi also updates in the middle of the night, so why do you all say Barbie is fashionable?"

"Qingfengyizai Midnight Update was approved by players. Did Barbie Fashion obtain players' consent?"

ha? ? ?

The space pirate who posted that question suspected he was out of his mind, so he quickly went to check Feng Yi's information to find out what it meant to obtain the player's consent.

"Do you want to hear what you're saying? Where did it get the player's consent?"

what?

If you want to question the players?

"What are you talking about? First of all, Qingfengyi did a midday update once, but many players were dissatisfied and even left negative reviews. Doesn't that count as one of the update times decided by the players themselves? Also, please get your facts straight: what are the working hours and leisure time of the current players of Barbie Fashion and Qingfengyi? Don't be so naive as to compare everything."

"Finally, someone has come out and said something useful. What's wrong with this group of people? They suddenly appeared and said some strange things."

"Science Popularizer passing by: This is a data table, and here are some pictures. Take a look for yourself. I just uploaded it to my space. If you need it, please help me share it. Sharing it is participating in Qingfengyi's Dragon Journey Plan, and you might even win a prize from Qingfengyi."

The image shows a comparison of convenient playtime for players of the two games. In Qingfengyi, 60% of players are freelancers or those who can easily slack off while working. Another 7% of players who couldn't play due to time constraints switched to professional gaming after two months, demonstrating Qingfengyi's exceptionally high conversion rate to professional players. Including those who couldn't play due to time constraints, this percentage reaches a staggering 33%!

Barbie Fashion's users are mostly office workers, ordinary people who don't have the luxury of indulging in leisurely pursuits. They need stable, regular rest to cope with the next day's work. Therefore, midnight updates are truly terrible, extremely terrible.

Previously, before Barbie Fashion adopted Qingfengyi's approach of updating special effects and limited-time storylines, players had no objection to the update schedule. In fact, they were quite supportive, because updating in the middle of the night wouldn't disrupt their gameplay, since they weren't online at night and the servers could be shut down at any time.

But later, when they started learning Qingfengyi's methods, many people were quite looking forward to it and seriously collected those things.

It would be strange if players were happy to suddenly change it to midnight.

The audience was simply shocked by the data in the picture!

"Qingfengyi's conversion rate to professional gamers is so high?!"

"This can't be real, it's outrageous. Even interstellar combat games don't have this many."

"It's almost catching up to mecha games. But mecha games are competitive games, and everyone who participates wants to make a name for themselves. Qingfengyi is completely different from mecha games. Can it accommodate so many professional players?"

"Those in front of me are definitely not fans or players of Qingfengyi. There are more ways to make money in Qingfengyi than you can imagine. Collecting rare items, helping to find props and materials, collecting data, selling information, helping in fights, dealing in rare items, reselling game currency... so many jobs, do you think?"

"I'm wholeheartedly dedicated to planting grass, hehe."

"I'm wholeheartedly focused on raising sheep, hehe."

"I'm wholeheartedly devoted to growing flowers, hehe."

.......

The above statement led the space pirates to find another way to smear Qingfengyi. This way, Qingfengyi will definitely not be able to rise, and may even attract the attention of the authorities, leading to the closure of Qingfengyi or restrictions on its ability to raise funds.

That means a large influx of funds into virtual games will negatively impact real-world industries!

"Hey, everyone's playing games, becoming professional gamers, so who's going to support the real economy? Who's going to support offline production? Without offline production, what will you eat, drink, and live on!"

"Yeah, a game is actually comparing career conversion rates. Shouldn't we be taking precautions if the conversion rate is that high? And yet you're all promoting and supporting it. What are you trying to do?"

"I want everyone to go hungry."

The conversation grew increasingly serious, and some StarCraft players who had only heard of Qingfengyi but knew nothing about it chimed in. The players were a bit bewildered; what they were saying made sense. A significant amount of their funds had flowed into Qingfengyi—they hadn't realized it until now, upon closer inspection, they discovered that most of it had been invested!

Thinking hard.

At this time, Zhang Zhongxia and his team, who had been paying close attention to the public opinion situation on Xingwang, quickly compiled data on the various offline businesses that relied on Qingfengyi for development, including manufacturing, food, construction, and service industries. When this data was compiled, Qingfengyi's employees were quite shocked.

"We are only now realizing how much our boss has done."

The clothing manufacturing licenses granted by Qingfengyi have revitalized countless studios, and numerous clothing production studios and companies have sprung up. These companies, in turn, have driven the development of the raw material industry by purchasing raw materials, drawing capital into these sectors.

As for the food industry, Qingfengyi's food formulas have been licensed to numerous nutritional supplement companies, resulting in booming business. Furthermore, it collaborates with Sweetheart Planet and Baiwei Group, engaging in advertising, promotion, and product partnerships – all of which are tangible businesses.

Not to mention the newly emerging use of energy stone residue, which not only solves the problem of energy stone waste disposal, but also creates new economic benefits.

There's also the tourism industry. Previously, only Huaxia Star, the first planet in the interstellar space, was open to tourism. Later, the first-magnitude planet Qingfengyi, which is connected to Huaxia Star, also opened up tourism opportunities. Now, they are cooperating with several other planets to create a brand-new tourist destination, Huaxia Star.

When this information was quietly posted on Qingfengyi's official account, many players and tourists were stunned.

"My mech Grand Marshal, Qingfengyi is actually this strong?"

"The production volume for this position must be over ten thousand, right?"

"How could it only be over 10,000? Look at StarNet, it's almost crashed."

The online trolls who bought Barbie Fashion were so taken aback by this content and news that they didn't know what to say. It's truly speechless.

Of course, the fighting on StarNet quickly cooled down because the players of Qingfengyi were about to start their game. Before entering Qingfengyi, players would give it a very positive review, as those who arrived late were grumbling and complaining.

"Who's so fast? They've already gotten a 9.5 rating, and I haven't even done that yet."

"Hurry up and swipe, because you're going to delay Qingfengyi for a few minutes so he can become a god."

In the game, Qingfengyi gives the player the 'Golden Boy and Jade Girl' and then doesn't react. However, this is part of Qingfengyi's fun; it's like a gift box—if you accept it, you silently open it; if you don't, you turn around and leave.

Players enter the shop first, where many items are available during this event. Among them is a player's homestead, a small farmhouse nestled in a forest, with a long, winding stone staircase leading upwards. The farmstead is overgrown with grass and orchids, and roses climb various shrubs and trees, creating a rather messy scene that will require some time to tidy up.

There were also some that were well-maintained; that was Lin Shuying's mother's courtyard. The yard was filled with many flowers, and a small corner was planted with scallions, ginger, garlic, chili peppers, and other vegetables. The bluestone path was real, just not as long as this one.

Back then, Lin's mother always complained that the path was too short, and there wasn't enough room for all the flowerpots she wanted to place. So this time, Lin Shuying designed over fifty bluestone steps. With red embroidered balls and various mounts, it's very easy for players to climb up, so they don't have to worry about the pain of climbing stairs.

The house and yard are very big, and there is a tall jujube tree inside. If the jujubes are not all eaten, they can be turned into red jujubes.

The building has three floors, including a small attic. Upstairs, there's a glass and bamboo table that can seat three people. When Lin Shuying returns, the three of them will sit here to drink tea or eat pastries, chatting and contemplating the world.

The players were thrilled, exclaiming, "Ahhh, Qingfengyi finally gave us another house!"

"Exactly, my house is almost overflowing. Pictures, pictures! I desperately need a professional organizer. Are there any free ones?"

"Dream on, I'll help you pack up the five hundred taels of silver."

"This house has such a beautiful atmosphere. I want to transform it into a brand new home and live here from now on."

Players clearly needed a brand new player home so much that they overlooked many of the porcelain items on the shelves. It wasn't until they started decorating their homes that they saw the porcelain and were instantly drawn to it.

The shop sells porcelain bracelets with various shapes and colors of porcelain beads, including cats, dogs, fish, and birds. After stringing two beads, you can add some small flowers and then hang a bell or a small lock on top.

Very beautiful and exquisite.

Porcelain is completely different from jade. Its surface is delicate and lustrous, and it is easy to add many patterns and shape them into various forms.

So cute~

Following the bracelets are decorative items, in addition to various basic shapes. Many of these items feature modern designs, such as the Nine-Colored Deer, Pleasant Goat, cats and dogs, as well as various cartoon animals and animated characters. The color scheme emphasizes cuteness and allure, and they are very exquisite.

Lin Shuying used to be reluctant to buy them, but now she's determined to get them until her hands are sore.

Unfortunately, the outsourcing studio searched extensively and couldn't find suitable materials for making porcelain. While the game has plenty of sand, porcelain clay is extremely rare, practically impossible to find. She could only indulge in her favorite fondant figurines in the game. Now, these fondant figurines have been transformed into porcelain ornaments, captivating her at first glance.

Next to the decorative items are various vases, simple, plain-colored porcelain: white, red, gradient, orange, blue, and many more. The vases come in many shapes: narrow-mouthed, wide-mouthed, large-bellied, small-bellied, long-necked, short-necked, and neckless. The narrow-mouthed ones can only hold one or two flowers, creating a simple yet refined atmosphere and style.
