Chapter 211
As she spoke, she took out an exquisite phoenix hairpin, "Look, it really is here to deliver the goods. It was the door-to-door delivery order that your wife had previously ordered."
The player was a little apprehensive, wondering if the suggestions from everyone would work.
Surprisingly, the guard accepted the money and went in to report, and the two were quickly let in. The player was stunned; could it really work?
"My mech general, I really got in! You're really something, aren't you? You asked me to give you a tip and you're the player who came to the manor to do business. Are you an insider who knows the plot?"
Interstellar people also have the custom of giving gifts to get things done; after all, it's human nature. I didn't expect to see this kind of setting in a game; it's interesting.
Players would never have guessed that this setting was an automatic addition from the AI system; Lin Shuying hadn't even configured it. The staff who conducted the later tests thought it was normal and didn't change it, thus making this setting a rather eye-catching feature.
Upon entering the gate, the player was stunned by the enormous stone screen before them—it was so beautiful!
A majestic pine tree and landscape are carved on top, flanked by plum trees. These are dragon-shaped plum trees, their trunks glossy and flowing gracefully. Through careful cultivation, every branch is in its most beautiful form. The plum blossoms are not yet in bloom; only the tops are covered in lush green leaves.
The entire screen is carved from marble, with incredibly delicate strokes, depicting every single pine needle. The rock patterns are natural and fluid, exuding a natural feel while also possessing a high degree of artistry. Even those without an artistic eye can appreciate its exquisite beauty, captivating the viewer completely.
At this point, players on the world channel started calling on her to start a live stream.
Otherwise there's nothing to watch. There are many live streaming channels now, such as the Kite Competition and Centipede Ridge Secret Realm, but this is the only secret realm with a storyline and quests.
Everyone was very curious about the situation in the secret realm and the progress of the mission.
This player wasn't very familiar with live streaming, and it took her a while to get it working at the door. The pale-faced scholar stood behind her without moving, waiting for her to get ready before setting off.
Viewers who followed the live stream noticed the strange camera angle; it kept focusing on a small area slightly behind the streamer, only showing her waist. The streamer was wearing a flowing, high-waisted ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), which was obstructing the view.
They were spamming the chat with messages telling her to change the camera angle, but the streamer, new to live streaming, didn't understand and didn't even look at the messages, her eyes fixed on the beautiful scenery in the yard. She occasionally glanced at the world chat and then saw the message telling her to adjust the camera angle.
She said awkwardly, "I forgot, I forgot. I forgot to adjust it during the last shoot."
The adjusted live stream angle is much better, covering the entire yard that the streamer can see.
There's a pomegranate tree in the courtyard, currently in full bloom, its branches laden with red blossoms. Next to it is a stone table with a tea tray on it.
An old woman came out and asked, "Distinguished guests, this way please."
Following the winding covered bridge, we arrived at a pavilion. Sitting there sat a beautiful and wealthy woman, embroidering.
The pale-faced scholar stopped at the entrance to the pavilion from the covered bridge. The anchor looked at him with some confusion, "Why aren't you moving?"
The pale-faced scholar cupped his hands and said, "A son cannot enter the inner quarters without an invitation, so I hope Miss can help me."
The anchor was even more confused. Unable to figure it out, she stopped thinking about it and followed her mother-in-law to the woman's side. The woman noticed the pale-faced scholar's unpleasant expression, which extended to the anchor, making her cold and distant as well.
The anchor quickly went over and sat down to the side, saying, "Hello, nice to meet you."
The old woman nodded in response, followed by a long, disorganized exchange. First, she gave him the gold hairpin, then stated her request, and finally introduced him to the scholar.
Although the storyline is complete, Lin Shuying didn't create an excessively long plot; that would make it a completely new game, which is unnecessary. Therefore, the plot is very simple: just proving the scholar's earning power is enough to win the beauty's heart. Of course, failure is also possible, and failure will prevent obtaining the secret realm items.
The streamer is amazing; he took the pale-faced scholar to sell kites. The scholar's kites were neatly made, but the paintings were really good!
One by one, kites painted with beautiful landscapes, colorful designs, and auspicious wishes were made and taken to town to sell. The old woman quickly sold them for the five taels of silver she had asked for, and as she took the silver to complete her task, the young lady came out.
The anchor and many viewers were stunned.
"What a beautiful woman!"
"My mecha grand marshal, she's so beautiful! Her outfit is absolutely stunning!"
This young lady wore her hair in a flowing peony bun, with two pearl chains running from front to back. A peach blossom mark adorned her forehead, along with a ruby tassel. She wore a flowing cloud peach blossom hairpin, and a peony flower and a colorful gemstone tassel hair ornament on the side. There was no back covering; instead, her hair was styled into a high, upturned bun, tied with a red ribbon. Her hair was loose, with the sections falling over her shoulders tied with red ribbons.
A pale yellow gauze outer garment with wide sleeves. A white inner garment with a cross-collar, embroidered with peach blossoms and beads along the edge. A blue-green waist belt, embroidered with butterflies and birds. And a white jade pendant with chicken-blood flowers, carved with a standing Guanyin.
A beautiful woman approached gracefully, her gait gentle and elegant. Her skirt flowed gently with each small step. Her posture in traditional costume was exquisitely beautiful, captivating all who beheld her.
The pale-faced scholar, his ears turning red, slowly recited:
The winding flower path is lightly paved with pebbles, and the mountains and trees hide the people from view.
Suddenly, a hundred flowers bloomed before my eyes, and a graceful, ethereal beauty appeared.
Realizing his rudeness after speaking, he quickly clasped his hands in apology.
The beautiful woman shyly covered half of her face with her fan and said in a pleasant voice, "Young master, you flatter me."
The anchor wanted to go up and get close to the beauty, but she felt it would be impolite to do so with such a beautiful and gentle person. In the end, she also imitated the scholar's fist-and-palm gesture.
The beauty paused for a moment, then chuckled softly, came over and took her hand, saying, "Sister, please sit down. Thank you for your help this time."
The streamer was overjoyed, her soul soared, and she screamed inside!
He frantically shouted in the world chat: "Ahhh, she held my hand! It's so soft and smooth, and she smells so good! I want to marry her!"
Below are the audience members who joined her in shouting, all wanting to take the beauty home.
"Host, host, do you think it's possible to bring this beauty home as a guest?"
"Ahhh, if I had a guest advisor like that, I would definitely spend every day with her!"
"How can our existing retainers bear to hear such a statement?"
"Unlike me, I only love my peach fairy beauty."
"Tsk tsk, doesn't the peach demon have a husband?"
Wow~
.........
While everyone was having fun, the streamer continued to flirt with the beautiful woman, while her mother nitpicked, criticizing the scholar. This was something the Star Trek users couldn't understand; for them, dating and marriage were simple—if they liked each other, they'd be together.
The cost of marriage is low because everyone's survival is guaranteed. As long as one does not demand material and power enjoyment, one can live a happy, ordinary life.
They didn't understand what the mother was saying and believed that she had a distorted personality and needed psychological intervention.
At this point, a player said in the world chat: "We can't compare our StarCraft situation to ancient times. I think Qingfengyi's design is really meticulous in this respect, even somewhat loose in comparison. For example, the etiquette issue. Have you seen the interactions between NPCs? It's completely different from the streamer's style. They seem polite, elegant, and dignified. They know how to behave and keep a proper distance. According to my research, it would be more realistic if NPCs could provide some feedback to players' impolite behavior."
Many players objected, saying, "We don't understand ancient etiquette, so setting it that way would increase the game's difficulty. I think it's fine as it is now, which shows that the designers considered the differences in behavior between us and the ancients."
"I agree with the comment above, things are fine as they are now."
Most players who thought Qingfengyi's current design was good were ordinary players who played the game normally, while those who wanted Qingfengyi to seriously recreate a retro style were more research-oriented players. The two sides started arguing, and the world chat was filled with their shouting.
After being exposed to the influence of the breeze, the vocabulary used by these players in their arguments has become noticeably richer.
Over there, the streamer completed the task and received the beautiful kite and a set of clothes.
It's the light yellow dress that the beautiful lady was wearing.
She and the beautiful lady got along very well, and after they became close, the beautiful lady gave her that outfit.
Lin Shu-ying thought long and hard before setting up this hidden item acquisition side quest, because in the past, people really did give each other clothes. Even back in Lin Shu-ying's time, this was common, especially clothes for healthy babies. Many parents would keep their children's clothes, whether as a memento or to give away later, reducing waste while also fostering good relationships. Some parents of babies with health problems would specifically look for these kinds of baby clothes, but they had to find clothes from familiar people; otherwise, it might backfire.
For a time, Lin Shuying did not believe in these things, but she maintained a neutral attitude after witnessing such mysterious events.
That time it was her nephew, who was only three months old and kept getting sick. They took him to the hospital, but they couldn't find anything wrong. The doctor just said it was a problem with the child's immune system, blah blah blah.
Later, Grandma went to a familiar aunt's house in the next village and found two sets of baby clothes. After the baby wore them for a month, he actually got better!
She often receives clothes from her close friends, some to be altered, others simply as gifts. They might give her clothes because they think she wears cheongsams too plainly every day, or because her friends need a change of clothes.
This kind of interaction suddenly came to mind when I was designing this event. It felt a bit heartwarming, so I added it in.
Lin Shuying thought no one could crack such a hidden prop, which is a bit of a slap in the face, hahaha.
The streamer was incredibly excited when he received the clothes!
This outfit is beautiful, ethereal and graceful, yet also elegant and dignified, exuding a refined air. She changed into it immediately after completing the task, and afterwards, she felt her demeanor had become even more sophisticated.
The anchorwoman was rummaging through the dressing room for a wig with a bit of a headache. Her own hair was only the length of a palm and couldn't be styled.
"Family members, which hairstyle do you think is more suitable? My beautiful sister didn't give me a hairstyle, she just gave me clothes. I'm so frustrated."
