Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 213

There were pearls the size of fists and heads, as well as luminous pearls. Qingfeng Yi had never seen luminous pearls before; they came in many colors and emitted a soft, beautiful glow. And there were seashells—where had he ever seen such beautiful seashells before?

Coral, too, is extremely beautiful, with lovely shapes.

I'd really feel resentful if I didn't take some of them!

Take out a shovel and tap it gently to see if there are any signs of vandalism.

No results?

Be a little bolder, and use a little more strength.

He hadn't even explored the area yet, and it would be such a shame to get arrested for vandalizing public property. Thinking this, he slapped his forehead. "Stupid! I could have explored first and then dug!"

There's no countdown in the secret realm, so he can wander around for as long as he wants. The only thing to watch out for is waking him up with the holographic pod's security features. He had a good meal before logging on, just had his organs checked, and the holographic pod has been thoroughly inspected; it should last him a whole day!

In addition, and most importantly, he earns money by finding materials in the Breeze and selling them to players, without needing to go to work.

Feeling delighted at the thought, I summoned the Red Embroidered Ball and decided to visit the Dragon Palace.

After passing through the reception area, we arrived at a garden filled with anemones. Among the anemones were many strange and wonderful fish, such as clownfish and parrotfish, swimming around – they were quite adorable.

Sea anemones grow on beautiful coral bases, the corals themselves are colorful and lustrous, and are delicately decorated with shells and gemstones. This kind of garden is completely different from gardens on land, giving people a very novel kind of beauty.

Many viewers asked him what it was like in the Dragon Palace, but the streamer was so engrossed in the new world that he had no time to pay attention to the viewers.

Outside the secret realm, the players have gone mad!

The reason is that the Dragon Palace Master showed two pictures, and the explanation of the Water-Avoiding Pearl highlighted the key point: Mythical Side Quest Dungeon!

The annotation for Dragon Palace is: Mythical Side Quest - Undersea Dungeon - East Sea Dragon Palace.

Does this mean that such a luxurious place can be opened again in the future, can be entered repeatedly, and may even become a daily dungeon?

In the mythology side quests, there is both seabed and land. What does that land look like?

Where there is the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, there are also the North, South, and West!

Soon, players who enjoyed organizing information compiled a lot of information and posted the information sheet in the world chat.

"Family members, get ready to be amazed! Pictures, pictures."

The image lists characters, items, dungeons, and secret realms with mythological tags, and the connection between these things is quite astonishing.

"My mecha grand marshal, I simply cannot imagine how magnificent the world behind Qingfengyi is!"

"So what about the main city and all the dungeons that don't have the mythological tag?"

"Yes, if there's a mythology side quest, then there are other side quests. What are those other side quests?"

Players are making all sorts of guesses, but they know absolutely nothing about this and can't figure anything out. The only information they have is the data compiled by the players above, which currently includes the Heavenly Court, Heavenly Prison, Underworld, Dungeon, Dragon Palace, and the Temple of the Matchmaker, among others. There are quite a few if you count them up.

However, there is very little other side content.

Sitting at home, overseeing the kite-flying competition, Deng Yijun was deep in thought. Before him were two sheets of information, along with information on special plants in his player instance. These special plants were all spiritual plants, carrying a cultivation tag, but the special items in the mythology side quest carried a fantasy tag. Thus, the side quests included fantasy, mythology, and cultivation, plus the currently ongoing game side quest, making a total of four game side quests…

Suddenly, he remembered something and quickly searched through the database, soon finding a data sheet. This data contained information on the various mythical beasts that Qingfengyi had encountered so far. Phoenixes and dragons did not carry any tags, but Vermilion Birds and Black Tortoises carried tags related to legends and myths.

What about those without labels?

Are legends and myths the same thing?

Deng Yijun thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so she sent a message to her grandfather: "Grandpa, do you have any materials about mythology, fantasy, legends, or cultivation in the ancient materials you've been researching?"

Over there, Grandpa Deng replied curiously, "You want to come and study history?"

His grandson is intelligent; he'll definitely make a lot of discoveries if he studies history.

Deng Yijun sent him the documents she had, saying, "There are just some things I don't understand."

Grandpa Deng had access to the Summoner Project, but his understanding of it was limited. He frowned after seeing the source of the information sent by Deng Yijun. He hadn't seen anything mentioned in these materials in any of the historical records currently stored by humanity, so he didn't know whether they even existed in ancient times.

But could there really be such profound civilization in ancient times?

The information Deng Yijun sent him was so profound and far-reaching that it made him somewhat skeptical. Surely, no matter how much humanity migrates, they wouldn't have lost so much information?

They are so far removed from that era of suffering that they cannot empathize with the hardships, suffering, dangers, and experiences of humanity at that time. Some are even unable to appreciate the significance of the sacrifices made by those generations and the beautiful future they created.

It's even more unimaginable why they would lose more than 90% of human civilization.

In the end, Deng Yijun didn't get anything from his grandfather and could only ponder the matter on his own. Some things don't need evidence, as long as the logic makes sense.

Inside the Dragon Palace, the player walked through a beautiful garden and arrived at a place that looked like a room. To the north was a huge, golden-pink seashell. When he approached, the shell opened, revealing a soft, velvety cushion inside. Touching it was incredibly comfortable, making one want to lie down on it.

He did just that, and only after lying down did he notice there was another pillow. The pillow was firm, with a pearly sheen, smooth and lustrous. He relaxed completely, and just as he was about to get up, the seashell cover closed!

startled.

A few seconds of darkness, followed by a scene resembling a night sky dotted with stars, on the seashell?

Reaching out to touch it, it was smooth.

"This is amazing! The inside of this seashell is so beautiful."

The audience was stunned!

"My great mecha marshal, how could the prop designer just leave this here as a decoration?"

"I have doubted countless times that Qingfengyi can't design games, only game items."

"I agree with the comment above. Many of the props could actually be used to make money, but they're just left there as decorations."

"I seriously suspect that the designer of Qingfengyi looks down on my wallet."

"Sorry, my wallet is still quite full."

"My wallet is bulging! I've made a fortune with Qingfengyi lately, but I can't spend it all. Qingfengyi, when are you going to give me a chance to spend it?"

"Sigh, am I the only one with an empty wallet? I just received a Bluebird Box, which cost me several million interstellar coins. I'm going to cry. [Image]"

The picture shows a beautiful, rare item from the original game, which is still incredibly beautiful today.

"Who's so wasteful? Selling such a good treasure?"

"What a loss! I could have offered tens of millions, what idiot would have sold it?"

........

The streamer ignored the commotion from the viewers and other players, lay down for a minute, and then got up. Getting up was simple: just think about how the seashell would open.

Having explored most of the Dragon Palace, he arrived at the seashell bed. The seashell bed was quite large, two meters wide, three meters long, and one meter high, resting on an oval coral base. He circled it once, summoning his retainers to help move it, but it wouldn't budge.

Helpless, he went to move the pillow from the bed. Although it weighed over ten kilograms, he could manage to lift it. As he was about to stuff it into his backpack, a system pop-up notification appeared: "This item does not belong to you."

One sentence made the player so angry that he threw the pillow on the ground. The pillow was intact and floated back to the bed on its own.

He picked up the pillow again, but it floated back down. The anchor, refusing to believe it, picked it up a long way and got it stuck in a crevice of a coral.

"Let's see how you get back now!"

After speaking, the frustration in my heart dissipated considerably.

Viewers watching the live stream were amused by the streamer's childish antics and flooded the chat with "hahaha." The pillow struggled so much that it accidentally broke off a piece of coral.

The streamer picked up the ruby-like coral and examined it. There was a tiny anemone on it, its plump tentacles quite adorable. He tried to put it in his backpack, and to his surprise, it went in!

"Ahhh, I got a sea anemone and a coral!"

The streamer jumped up and down excitedly for a minute, then quickly ran to hug the pearl pillow and continued stuffing coral into it. This time, the coral she found had beautiful, huge anemones on it, and inside the anemones were clownfish and parrotfish. She stuffed the pillow into the gap, and the pillow struggled to fly towards the seashell bed.

The streamer watched expectantly, carefully searching for cracks on the coral, even starting to think about how to use it and what kind of aquarium to buy to keep the fish on it. He only knew about fish, not that sea anemones were also marine creatures, and even less that marine life needed seawater.

Let's get our hands on the stuff first.

The audience outside watched intently, and two minutes later, the pillow shattered.

Everyone stared blankly, unable to react.

The Dragon Palace was filled with water, and the fragments of the pillow slowly fell to the ground without making a sound.

A comment flew by: "The pillow is broken."

A barrage of similar comments flew past, densely packed, snapping the stunned crowd out of their daze.

"...The pillow is broken?"

"Aren't pillows made of pearls?"

"Isn't a pearl a hard calcium deposit?"

The world chat was flooded with messages from Qingfengyizhong, overshadowing other messages. The setting was simply beyond the players' comprehension.

"Family, I tested it, and the pearl is very hard. (Video)"

In the video, the player is seen repeatedly smashing a pearl with a heavy iron hammer weighing several kilograms until it finally shatters. Later, the player gradually reduces the weight of the hammer, requiring an absurdly large amount of force with a small hammer.

"Judging from the video and live stream comparison, the hardness of that coral shouldn't be comparable to that of a hammer, right?"

"I don't know, I've never seen coral."

"Wait a minute, we've seen coral! Pictures, pictures."

These pictures are of bracelets that were previously given to players as a reward; some of the bracelets are shown as coral bracelets. At first glance, they might be mistaken for gemstones, so the players who received the items didn't notice.

"My mech general, a veteran player, are you selling your bracelet? I'm willing to pay a hefty sum."

"This bracelet is so beautiful, I'd pay a fortune for it."
