Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 231

Given the importance that interstellar society places on history, it's highly unlikely that they only discovered this now. After all, if they could spend all of humanity's savings on a summoning ritual, how could they not first explore the historical materials it brought back?

She started to get a headache from thinking about it. "Oh well," she thought, "I'll just leave it." She wasn't a professional; she figured it out once the professionals deciphered it. She hoped the deciphering process would be quick; she feared it might take a hundred years or more, by which time she'd be old and dead before she even saw the results.

After clarifying the culture of the Mongolian people, the process of organizing Tibetan culture began. In terms of clothing, the styles of the two ethnic groups are very similar: both are heavy and often made of animal hides, facilitating horseback riding. Especially in the early days, the two types of clothing were remarkably similar. Later, as history progressed, the two ethnic groups underwent different developmental paths, and their clothing styles also changed.

The Mongolian clothing that Lin Shuying observed in modern times is more form-fitting, with a slender silhouette, exuding both power and elegance. Hats are mostly felt hats, especially in modern times, as people have more resources to pursue luxury, the extravagance of clothing has increased dramatically. The patterns and fabrics used are brighter, and the addition of fur makes it particularly luxurious. The color scheme also leans towards bright and vibrant hues, while accessories remain as abundant as ever.

However, Tibetans have an edge in terms of the number of accessories they wear. Tibetan women wear more accessories, and their heads are decorated with agate, tourmaline and other ornaments. Their clothes are also adorned with many accessories.

The cut is relatively looser compared to Mongolian clothing, especially the men's clothing, which is more robust and relaxed. Of course, this relaxation is only on the outside; the inner layers, with various undergarments, are not loose at all, but rather quite tight.

There are also differences in the clothing of different branches of Tibetans in different regions. The clothing in the high-altitude areas is thicker and tends to be layered, made of sheepskin, yak hide, etc. The clothing in the lower-altitude areas is much lighter and thinner, and more fitted.

Lin Shuying specifically entrusted the management of the two ethnic groups' clothing styles and the historical culture behind them to the second planet of the Huaxia Interstellar sphere. Maintaining this uniqueness would allow the planet to quickly seize opportunities and rise to prominence. It would also better preserve the vitality of this tourism resource and make it even more popular.

The officials of Tilan City were thrilled upon receiving the planning documents and rushed back that very day. Everything needed to be prepared diligently and quickly; once the planet's transformation was successful, they wouldn't have to worry about losing their jobs and would even have a chance to advance to a higher star level!

I'm so excited just thinking about it.

They were all original residents of Tilan City, practically natives. After the planet's upgrade, their status naturally rose—hehe, they're all resources!

It's an intangible source of wealth. Thinking of this, the team leader encouraged everyone, "Keep it up! For the future of the planet!"

The employees were stunned for a moment. Interstellar people are usually reserved, and this sudden outburst of encouragement was a little startling. But after their initial shock, they blushed and whispered, "Go for it! For the future of the planet!"

After shouting, the team leader realized he was embarrassed; they were in Starport, surrounded by travelers. Those who had never been to Qingfengyi before were startled, but those who had been multiple times actually joined in, shouting, "Go for it!"

The team leader and his subordinates became even more embarrassed, raising their hands to cover their faces and quickly running towards the spaceship's ticket check-in area.

I breathed a slight sigh of relief when I arrived at the ticket checkpoint; thankfully, my booked spaceship was about to take off.

In the game, players are making the most of their time to experience the joy of the traditional festival. During the March 3rd song festival, many NPCs are chatting and laughing on boats and along the riverbank, and players are mingling in the crowd to join in the fun.

Then a loud shout rang out: "Let the mountain songs begin!"

Then, everyone suddenly began singing folk songs in unison. The songs echoed along the river and through the valleys, and the players listened in a daze, because they didn't know how to sing them.

As the singing progressed, it evolved into individual performances, with everyone joining in. The scene was so grand that the players were awestruck. Boats moored in the river, bumping against each other to form a vast island, with people moving among them selling tea, melon seeds, and flowers. Everyone sang along while watching the spectacle, with those having the loudest and most pleasant voices taking center stage. After the grand chorus ended, the groups split into smaller teams, one or two, four or five, or even a dozen or more, singing together.

The players were extremely curious as they wandered around.

"My mech marshal, they're actually going on a blind date?"

"Haha, there's a guy here who tried to sing a duet with a girl he liked, but he lost the song, so his blind date was a failure."

"On my side, the women lost the singing competition. They were amazing; they managed to turn everyday conversation into such beautiful songs."

"Family members, take a close look at those lyrics, they're so interesting! They're really sharp, hahaha, I really want to learn them so I can sing them to the players who kill me in the future."

"Combat gamers, learn this!"

.......

After the players awkwardly joined in, the singing suddenly went a bit off; there were simply too many players, drowning out the NPCs' singing. The singing went from being as melodious as a lark to just mimicking a crow, but it was still incredibly lively.

We played for two whole days on the third day of the third lunar month. Even after the NPCs left, the players didn't leave; they continued singing. The unaccompanied singing was exceptionally powerful and moving, almost to the point of making you want to plug your ears.

But at this point, whether the music was good or bad didn't matter; what mattered was the fun and excitement. The players' boisterous shouts and laughter echoed throughout the StarCraft universe, and videos of the event flooded the internet, creating yet another spectacular "Qingfengyi" event. StarCraft players seemed to have gotten used to it; it would be quite unusual if the "Qingfengyi" event didn't go viral.

Everyone was so moved by the singing and the atmosphere that they really wanted to go to Qingfengyi!

"I'm so envious of Qingfengyi's game atmosphere, sob sob. How did they come up with such a grand scene? And the lyrics, each line is sharper than the last. I'm so excited and thrilled listening to them, hahaha."

"Me too, especially when it comes to arguing. I can't hear the vulgar language, but I can hear it from eighteen generations back, hahaha."

"Hey, where did you get your eloquence from? You're talking like an NPC."

"You'll naturally learn it if you listen to it a lot."

Before the players on StarCraft had time to pay attention to the lively chatter on the world channel, a video was posted and went viral.

"Family members, this is the usual copy! Video."

In the video, many people are seen spraying water at others with various strange weapons, soaking everyone's clothes. Since most of the characters in the "Qingfengyi" instance wear elaborate ancient costumes, the wet clothes became incredibly heavy. Upon arriving at this instance, many players instantly sought cooler attire, donning Tai Chi uniforms and kung fu outfits, carrying their ultimate weapon—a super-large capacity water gun!

There were others with basins, ladles, and buckets, working in small teams, half carrying water and the other half splashing it, which was very impressive.

Various balloon-like props occasionally fall from the sky. Once players collect these props, they transform into usable real items, such as water guns and water bottles with shoulder straps.

In one corner of the video, you can even see a rubber trolley, the really big kind. Many players are frantically grabbing onto the sides of the trolley and climbing up, while the players above are using huge water guns to spray those climbing up and bring them down.

"Hurry up and get a car in front!"

The video ends with this shout.

"This is comparable to the Great Jianghu Competition in China, it's super fun, come join us! It's in the [server name] area."

Players quickly jumped off the warship on the third day of the third lunar month, leaving one instance and squeezing into another. As soon as they entered, many magical items fell and hit them on the head, which was quite fun. It felt like being hit by balloons, but the items on the ground felt substantial and heavy. Everyone was immediately surrounded by players and NPCs who had entered earlier, who drenched them with water guns and basins in a torrential downpour.

"Everyone's ganging up on the newbie!"

"If my clothes aren't completely soaked, then I'm incompetent!"

"Come on, let's hurt each other!"

According to the official tradition, the more water you get splashed during the Songkran Festival, the more good fortune you receive, and the more bad things that have accumulated in the past are washed away.

"Come on, let's go after him! He's the one who knows the most."

"Here they come! Splash him with water!"

StarCraft players can only experience the thrill of this kind of frenzied combat in StarCraft battles, but the thrill of that kind is vastly different from this kind of thrill. Fighting the Zerg in StarCraft battles is done with emotion, and there's a penalty for death; there's no joy. You might go there to vent, but seeing so many Zerg and fallen comrades inevitably gets you caught up in the war's emotional landscape.

Water fights are different, fundamentally different in their premise. Here, the more you get splashed, the luckier you are, as the water washes away dirt. Furthermore, there's no burden or harm involved; it's all about unbridled joy.

"Haha, his shoe flew off!"

A player's shoe flew off while running, causing the surrounding players to burst into laughter. A player standing next to the shoe then delivered a flying kick, snatching the shoe away. The other players immediately understood what was happening. They quickly used water guns to restrain the person who lost their shoe, while the others hurriedly kicked the shoe away.

"Are you guys stupid? This isn't a rare item. It'll be gone in a flash. You just need one cash withdrawal token."

"You don't understand, hahaha, cash withdrawal tokens are so boring."

What we want is the joy of real action!

The player who was targeted became furious, took off his other shoe and threw it at the target, while simultaneously unleashing a flurry of water from his water gun.

"I'm barefoot and I'm not afraid of those wearing shoes, come on, let's hurt each other!"

This is a huge square with small, patterned paving stones that are both slip-resistant and gentle on the feet. Walking barefoot on the ground is perfectly fine; in fact, it's more enjoyable than wearing shoes.

Then, a new prop fell from the sky: slippers.

How can the Water Splashing Festival be complete without flip-flops, hehe. Back in the day, the Water Splashing Festival videos Lin Shuying watched the most were those of flip-flops getting stuck on your feet. The proper Dai Water Splashing Festival rarely has this kind of fun, but we interstellar people have to have it, hehe.

Everyone was actually quite happy to see the slipper fall down.

"Qingfengyi is indeed the best game official for players. Look, knowing that shoes are easy to get wet and fall off, they gave us these easy-to-wear shoes that can be worn in water."

"These pink ones are so cute, look at the panda head on them."

As the player was taking off his own shoes and putting on the stolen slippers, the player behind him suddenly opened fire with a high-pressure water gun. He stumbled, the slippers slipped off, and his foot got stuck...

The unexpected turn of events left the players completely bewildered.
