Chapter 210
The entire kite embroidery is made with extremely fine silk thread, and the luster of the butterfly is simulated to a very lifelike degree.
"Oh dear, it's just a small bag, take a look if you want. (Picture)"
This is the back of the shoulder bag, and then pictures of various other shoulder bags were posted. Players looked completely bewildered; had Qingfengyi released so many items?
"Is this something that all group members can enjoy?"
The player who came in third place immediately objected: "How is that possible? Why didn't my team members get it?"
"My squad doesn't have any either; my squad only has two members."
"This is outrageous! There are over thirty people posting these pictures. What team has that many people?"
"Yes, I didn't even notice just now, there were just too many people."
.......
Everyone started chattering excitedly, and soon the world chat was flooded with messages.
At this point, the player who posted the pictures earlier slowly began to explain. They'd really enjoyed showing off!
Players were somewhat speechless after learning about the "Golden Jade Hall" system, feeling both wanting to join and hesitant. Joining would allow them to share so many items, but these items would be obtained through everyone's collective effort, lacking the satisfaction of having exclusive items.
While some were still hesitating, many others applied for spots in the Golden Jade Hall's pavilion, which quickly filled up. The Golden Jade Hall's previous player-sharing system for dungeons had been very popular, so there wasn't a significant shortage of players. Deng Yijun's elite pavilion only had eight thousand members, but this time only a portion of the players were accepted, with many members being turned down.
After the giant kite, it's time for the highest-flying kite.
This time, Lin Shuying put a lot of effort into creating the instance, which is over 5,000 meters high, enough for even a flying vehicle, let alone a small kite.
Deng Yijun's team was well-prepared, and a large group of members rushed out, carrying the easiest-to-fly swallow and butterfly kites. They quickly began adjusting the kite height, and the players on the grassland were so focused on controlling their kites that they had no time to pay attention to their surroundings.
Being too focused is bad; kites fly too high and collide with each other. If you're lucky, you might pull the kite down a bit, get back up, and continue flying. If you're unlucky, the kite might get pulled down, or the string might break.
The grasslands were filled with scenes of StarCraft players unleashing their newly learned ancient and profound language skills.
Flying a kite high is not easy; the higher it flies, the more force is required, and the higher the control technique needed. Otherwise, the kite won't fly high at all, or forcibly pulling the kite string will easily cause it to break.
While players on the grassland were frantically breaking records, some players who had encountered unexpected events also found treasures!
The first player found a meteorite in Love Valley, which, after activating it, led to a Fairy Lake. Many people come here for spring outings; by finding beautiful flowers and plants and giving them to these visitors, you will receive gifts from them.
Excitedly, she searched everywhere and finally found a handsome young man carrying a book box on a secluded mountain bridge. He was truly beautiful, with a face as white as frost, sharp eyebrows, and bright eyes, exuding elegance. Dressed in flowing white robes, he strolled across the bridge with a folding fan in his hand.
The sky was shrouded in a light drizzle, and the morning mist was so thin that it created a hazy, ethereal atmosphere.
The player dared not approach, and quietly stood behind a rock on the path to watch.
"Ahhh, what a handsome and dashing older brother! He's exactly my type. I wonder if he exists in real life. I'd be willing to take care of him! Videos and photos."
The player excitedly filmed and took pictures, then posted them in the world chat, followed by a long string of comments.
"What if I'm too scared to go over there? What if he disappears or ignores me?"
"I felt that he had a kind of ego, as if he didn't belong to this world."
How do I start a conversation?
"Ahhh, I'm so nervous."
"Why did Qingfengyi give us the Temple of the Matchmaker and the way to make friends, but not a way to make good friends? I'm so anxious!"
.......
The players were a bit speechless, but the pale-faced scholar was really handsome. Everyone encouraged the player to go and talk to him, while others asked how to trigger this kind of secret realm. The world chat was bustling, overshadowing the ongoing kite-flying competition.
The player searched the surrounding area and found a plant on the mountainside with small red flowers. The back of its leaves was purple, while the front was green, dark green, and bluish-green. The flowers were pink with five petals and were very pretty. She took out a bamboo shoot shovel, dug one up, and planted it in a fish tank she had bought haphazardly from a store.
To avoid attracting the attention of NPCs, I deliberately dug at a distance.
The mission description said she could deliver flowers to them, so she bravely went and did so.
The scholar respectfully accepted the flowers and said, "Thank you, Miss. These are truly beautiful, just like my wife who married into a wealthy family!"
"what?"
The player was completely confused. If she understood correctly, after marrying into a wealthy family, she wouldn't be his wife anymore.
The scholar continued speaking to himself, then asked, "Would you like to see the place where my beloved wife and I reunite?"
Lin Shuying's contrived plot inevitably has some flaws, but its purpose is to let players see various Chinese mountains and rivers and architecture, and appreciate the beauty of nature.
In her past life, Western beauty and art originated from the female body; the less clothing, the more artistic. Eastern beauty, on the other hand, lies in landscapes, flowers, and birds; the clearer and more ethereal the scenery, the more beautiful and sophisticated it is.
In this respect, Lin Shuying truly possesses the pure blood of a dragon, her love for nature, mountains, rivers, climate, flowers, and birds runs deep in her bones. Although devising various adventures for this event was a bit mentally taxing, it was her favorite, allowing her to fully showcase her passion for Chinese art.
The player said shyly, "I'm willing, but I'm afraid you won't want to take me."
The scholar was quite willing, since that was how the program was set up.
Walk around a bend in the bridge, and you'll come to a dilapidated house. The house is antique and full of Chinese style, with varnished wood beams and windows covered with cobwebs.
Pushing open the door, a cloud of dust billowed up, and both the scholar and the player coughed incessantly.
The scholar, his eyes red, said, "Long time no see, cobwebs grow in my house, dust covers the doors, bringing tears to my eyes. The incense in the hall is nowhere to be seen, I lift my robe, my eyes wet with tears, the ashes are gone!"
After saying this, he knelt down in front of the hall and began to weep, facing the couplets on the plaque above. The player was caught in an awkward situation, unsure whether to stand, leave, or even look at him.
I'm not very good at comforting people.
After waiting for two minutes, the scholar stood up and took down the kite from the side wall. It was a very beautiful kite, covered with peach blossoms, and was a swallow kite with a wavy swallowtail.
Players can't take their eyes off it, it's so beautiful!
The peach blossoms, rendered in ink wash style, are incredibly lifelike, gracefully landing on the kite. The kite itself is off-white, but has turned slightly yellow, probably from being aired for too long. The peach blossoms are pink, covering the entire surface of the kite.
A poem was also inscribed above:
A gentle breeze stirs the green leaves, while the peach blossoms fade in April.
It flew down outside the courtyard, uncarried by the wind, and stirred up the peach demon, its ashes sinking into the mud.
Suddenly a kite flew towards me, and sorrow turned to joy as the beautiful woman appeared.
Let the morning breeze carry the phoenix, and may our destined love arrive soon.
The freehand calligraphy, paired with beautiful peach blossoms and playful swallow kites, combined with the scene from the poem, is quite captivating.
The player was completely absorbed in his imagination. The beautiful woman happily flying a kite in the garden was unaware that a scholar passing by outside the wall was lamenting the passing of fallen blossoms. Accidentally, the kite string broke, and it flew away, hitting the scholar in the face. He picked it up, bewildered, his eyes still filled with the same melancholy. Looking up, he saw a smiling beauty climbing the wall, more beautiful than the newly sprouted peach blossoms beside her. The impact washed away all his melancholy. After returning the kite, he couldn't stop thinking about it. He then personally made and painted a kite with a poem inscribed on peach blossoms and secretly flew it into the courtyard…
"My mecha grand marshal, how romantic!"
If someone makes her such a beautiful kite, she'll definitely develop a relationship with him, hehe.
The scholar wiped the kite clean and said with a sad expression, "My beloved has already given her another, so I'll give you this kite."
The player was very curious about the scholar's story and subtly inquired about it. Her curiosity overcame her social anxiety and poor communication skills, and she started chatting with the scholar. Unexpectedly, the scholar needed a good listener and poured out his heart.
Just as the poem says, a kite brought them together, allowing them to get to know each other. However, the girl's family looked down on the scholar, saying he was poor, destitute, and had no relatives or friends, and were unwilling to make the marriage happen. While the scholar was away taking the imperial examination, they betrothed the girl to the son of a wealthy family in town.
The girl sent a letter from afar, and the scholar, upon receiving it, forgot all about taking the imperial examination and rushed back home. Unexpectedly, what he received was a kite sent by the girl's steward. He hastily hung the kite on the wall and, without even tidying up the long-abandoned house, went to find the girl.
The girl was never seen; he was simply kicked out by the girl's family.
The player felt a little down after hearing this, but looking at the kite in his hand, he suddenly stood up and said, "Come on, I'll take you there again. We'll convince the girl's parents with our actions! As long as you promise not to let the girl suffer, they will definitely agree."
The scholar seemed disheartened. "A scholar is useless. The master is right. I have no skills, no ability to support a family. How can I be qualified to marry a beautiful woman?"
The player, holding up the kite, exclaimed, "You can make kites?! They're so beautiful, I love them!"
The scholar smiled, a rare occurrence. "Thank you for your comfort, Miss. This good-for-nothing..."
The player ignored them, grabbed the person, and started to leave, asking, "Let's go, but which way do we go?"
He summoned two horses, one for the scholar and the other for himself. He rode swiftly to the girl's house, which was located in a rather remote corner of the town, but the girl was very wealthy, as her mansion was grand and large.
There's a path leading to the outside world that passes right under the courtyard. Scholars would pass by it on their way to study, so it's no wonder we encountered it.
Two enormous stone lions, adorned with red ribbons, stood at the entrance of the mansion. The gate was grand, and there were guards at the gate as well.
The player approached but was stopped by the guards, who were displeased with the scholar. Unable to find a good way to get the guards to let him pass, the player frantically sought advice in the world chat.
The players offered many suggestions, and she chose the most reliable one: give the guards silver.
Not knowing how much to give, he secretly slipped ten taels of silver into the handover, saying, "I hope to see the head of your household. I'm here to deliver something to your wife."
