Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 204

Lin Qiaoqiao's arrangement was primarily aimed at promoting the company culture and boosting recruitment. Qingfengyi needed employees after its expansion, as it was a crafting and game design studio and couldn't use intelligent robots. However, recruitment was difficult. Aimore Planet was only a third-order planet, and many extraterrestrials were unwilling to come. Locals who had any opportunity were already working in the game industry; who would want to come work for them?

Is it that playing games isn't fun, or that making money in games is too difficult?

Therefore, we need to promote it more; the more people know about it, the more people will be willing to apply.

Many people applied before, but I heard that Qingfengyi's working hours are eight hours a day, and you have to be on duty full-time. If it's busy, such as at fashion shows or exhibitions, you might have to work overtime, even until seven or eight o'clock in the evening. No one in the interstellar community would do that unless it's their dream and they're completely obsessed with it.

Most people work three or four hours a day, and even those who work eight hours can lie down in the holographic pod in between, as long as they turn on the wake-up reminder and are called when needed. These are roles like factory monitoring or engineering. Therefore, Qingfengyi's working conditions are incredibly harsh compared to other interstellar workers. Recruiting is difficult; otherwise, given Qingfengyi's popularity, companies would be choosing employees, not the other way around.

Most of the new employees aren't particularly interested in games or the holographic world, and they either come from poor families or have dreams or something. None of them are genuinely here because they want to work...

After the announcement was released, many players started making jokes:

"Hey hey hey, here comes the bragging, here comes the bragging!"

"Tsk tsk, where are you going for team building? Is there a live stream?"

"Could it be in a game?"

"Upstairs, it's hard to say. Let's go look for it, hehe."

"We'll search the whole country and find them, then we'll all go on team building trips, hehe."

“That makes sense. I’m a participant in the Dragon Project, and I’m an employee of Qingfengyi. How can they abandon me to do team building?”

"That makes sense, I also participated in the Dragon's Journey Project!"

.......

Players confidently unanimously believe that Qingfengyi will be a great place for team building in the game, since there aren't many other good places to go. They're all shrewd and know where the fun is. Right now, the most interesting things are the starry scenery in Star Wars, the mech battles in the holographic world, and Qingfengyi itself; they really can't find anything else that can be ranked.

Oh yes, and there's also the Zhouzhou Summer Song Festival.

Starry skies and interstellar landscapes are familiar to people, and they're all present in the holographic world.

Mech battles aren't suitable for team building either; they're too intense.

All that's left is the gentle breeze.

So everyone frantically searched, looking everywhere. People who were rolling around on the grass all got up and ran around, and the main city was full of people, all looking for Qingfengyi's employees.

Qingfengyi now has 80 employees, and they definitely stand out when they get together.

Early in the morning, Lin Shuying told her employees about a secret location for a secluded adventure, and they were to meet there.

Everyone went to bed early last night, wanting to conserve their energy for a good time this morning. Therefore, they were unaware of the fierce competition following Zhang Zhongxia's announcement, and even less aware that players were searching for them amidst the chaos of the Qing Dynasty.

Upon entering the game, you'll arrive at the Qingfengyi Staff Quarters. After a quick dressing-up, you'll be dressed in casual kung fu attire. Everyone wears the same kung fu outfits in black, red, and white.

Then, they arrived at a rather secluded general store in the Huaxia Jianghu (a martial arts world) and bought a small centipede kite. This kite was really small, only the size of a palm. Flying it would trigger the Centipede Ridge Secret Realm.

The setup was a bit rushed, haha.

Lin Shuying was thinking too much about the secret realms and connections at the time, and her mind was a bit muddled, so she was somewhat perfunctory about some of the secret realms.

But it's quite good; Centipede Ridge is connected by centipede kites, which makes perfect sense.

After you come in, everyone gather together and wait for the boss to speak.

The entrance was in a deep valley, where the rushing river crashed against large rocks, smoothing them into beautiful, rounded shapes. Everyone took photos from various angles, excitedly enjoying themselves for a while. Lin Shuying watched silently, not saying a word, waiting for everyone to have fun.

We agreed to have fun when we go out.

Today, Xia Chunqi's promotional filming team didn't film anything; they used the game's built-in camera angles for all of them.

After her initial excitement subsided, Lin Shuying summoned the red embroidered ball and laughed, "Today I'll let you experience the joy of childhood, hehe."

A string of red embroidered balls flew out, like balloons with festive Chinese floral patterns.

There were no players in the instance because everyone was looking for a team-building spot in Qingfengyi and hadn't started kiting yet, so it was unlikely that this instance would be triggered.

The group arrived at a high mountaintop, where there was a relatively smooth stream. Lin Shuying, who designed the map, was very familiar with this place. This stream was the best of all the secret realms, a full two hundred meters long, hehe.

Near the tail, there are two high embankments, below which is a soft, sandy platform made of mud and sand washed down by the water—soft and comfortable. It'll ensure you don't scrape your bottom if you fall down, hehe.

The employees stared blankly as their boss flew up the mountain, unsure of what she was up to. They followed silently behind, some with curiosity.

After reaching the mountaintop, Lin Shuying took out a sickle and searched for a decent small tree nearby. She cut it down, leaving about half an arm's length. The bottom part resembled a broom, with lush foliage and many branches. Then she cut some soft leaves and branches and carefully laid them on the previously cut keel.

After finishing, he straightened up and exclaimed, "My skills have become rusty, hahaha."

The employees stared blankly, wondering what use the boss had for something that looked like an ancient broom.

Lin Shuying looked around and realized she almost needed to find a vine to tie herself up. She was a bit rusty and worried about slipping and falling. Even though dying from a fall in the game just meant going home, it was still a real slap in the face!

This game has two very obvious and satisfying features. The first is charging!

The raw, unadulterated rush of charging down from a great height is exhilarating. It makes your blood run cold, yet you feel a thrill that leaves you flushed and drenched in sweat. Who understands that?

The second great thing is bringing along people, hehe.

It's somewhat similar to riding a motorcycle or race car with a girl or a handsome guy on the back. The rider is responsible for looking cool, and the person on the back is responsible for cheering.

After Lin Shuying finished tying herself up, she sat down. The kung fu outfit was a bit thin, and the branches were rubbing against it. So she got up and added some soft leaves, then sat down again to try it out. It felt much better.

"Qiaoqiao, get in the BMW! I'll take you flying!"

She was a little excited, hehe.

Ah, the joy of childhood, reliving it again. This ditch was a full 200 meters long, with some twists and turns in the middle. When it straightened out, it was probably 250 meters long. It took several tens of seconds to rush down, so exhilarating!

Lin Qiaoqiao was stunned for a moment, and saw Lin Shuying sitting on the leaf, looking a little dazed.

This is?

Seeing that no one was coming up, Lin Shuying quickly let go of the handle in front of her and patted the back of her. "Sit down, hurry up."

Lin Qiaoqiao sat down awkwardly, feeling a bit stiff as she had never played before.

Lin Shuying braced her legs to reach the opening of the cleavage, a mischievous grin on her face, and said, "Hold on tight, it's so exciting~"

Then they charged down, faster and faster, leaves, bushes, and branches flying past in their path. Lin Qiaoqiao was terrified and clung tightly to Lin Shuying's waist.

Lin Shuying was excitedly shouting, showing none of the maturity one would expect from someone in their thirties. However, given her current identity, she's only in her early twenties, still quite young.

Besides, a woman is still a young girl at heart, with a childlike heart that keeps flowing, hehe.

In the latter half, Lin Qiaoqiao also let loose, shouting along to release her inner repression and various emotions. Soon, they arrived at the first obstacle, which was fifty centimeters high.

Lin Shuying shouted, "Here it comes! Protect your butts and move with the BMW!"

Before Lin Qiaoqiao could even process what was happening, she was suddenly plummeting at high speed before landing heavily. Her buttocks stung; the system wouldn't reduce the sensation until it reached the protective pain threshold, and she let out a muffled groan. Before she could even regain her balance, leaves flew down from below, and there was a protruding rock in the ditch. Lin Qiaoqiao had shifted her position after landing, not pressing tightly against Lin Shuying, so her buttocks were poked by the rock again—stimulating, yes, but very uncomfortable for her bottom.

Lin Shuying quickly reached the bottom, got up, jumped around a few times, and shouted, "Awesome!"

The sound echoed continuously in the valley.

Lin Qiaoqiao rubbed the spot where she had fallen and hurt herself, unable to quite grasp the joy...

Lin Shuying could tell from her expression that she was unhappy. She smiled and pulled the red embroidered ball along, not forgetting to pick up the cushion whose bottom was almost completely scraped off.

"Come on, this time you're in charge."

Lin Qiaoqiao had no choice but to keep her boss company, knowing he was going crazy.

On the mountaintop, Xia Chunqi was instantly excited upon hearing Lin Shuying's joyful shouts. She quickly grabbed a knife and started chopping down a tree. By the time Lin Shuying and the others flew up, her BMW was already ready. After looking around at the people, she grabbed someone next to her and got in.

"Go! Charge!"

She rushed down the ditch, but she wasn't very good at navigating, and the ditch was steep and turbulent, so she tumbled over. The person sitting next to her clung tightly to the bushes for support, their legs trembling.

Xia Chunqi rolled all the way to the bottom and died back home.

The people above were startled. Was the danger level really that high?

Lin Shuying said seriously, "This is a game, you can play however you want, but you can't be this arrogant in real life."

After giving his instructions, he added some leaves to his BMW, then pulled Lin Qiaoqiao aside and said, "Come on, you drive."

Lin Qiaoqiao said with a smile, "Boss, how can you have so much fun doing something so childish?"

Lin Shuying said with dissatisfaction, "Where is this childish? It's much more sophisticated than players rolling on the grass. Hurry up, hurry up, let's do it again, hehe."

Lin Qiaoqiao had no choice but to sit down. Soon, the two of them rushed down.

Lin Shuying directed Lin Qiaoqiao to maneuver the car, avoiding many stones in the ditches. The leaves in front of the BMW were the thickest, so hitting a stone didn't hurt. After the pain subsided, Lin Qiaoqiao gradually felt the joy of the game and excitedly shouted along.

The wind whipped my face, blowing my short hair wildly; the thrill of falling rapidly from a great height was intense!

Her adrenaline surged, and her face flushed with excitement. The two shouted together, their voices echoing through the valley.

Of the employees, only the cleaning lady was too old to play; the others learned and had a blast. The cleaning lady went up the mountain to find wild berries and other things, picked a bunch, and sat under a tree at the top to eat them slowly. She watched everyone else laughing happily with a smile. At her age, she was a little embarrassed to go up and play, and despite everyone's encouragement, she didn't join in.
