Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 87

In the end, Deng Yijun failed; he couldn't challenge the older generation.

The next item is a bamboo Guanyin statue, which is quite large in real life!

Starting at a base price of one million, it still couldn't stop the prices from rising layer by layer.

The auction didn't end until late at night, and everyone was a bit tired.

Xia Chunqi carried the camera until blisters formed on his shoulders, but he didn't put it down. He also refused when Zhang Zhiqi and the others offered to take over.

She fell in love with the work; it turns out that preserving beauty can be addictive...

Afterwards, everyone lay in the living room, not wanting to move, sprawled on cushions like countless lazy cats, hahaha.

Because the event was large, people were needed for all sorts of tasks. These included on-site coordination, logistics, displaying auction items, assisting Lin Shuying and Lin Qiaoqiao, packaging auction items, and arranging the process for taking them away.

Finally, the few people with less work were responsible for cleaning up the site.

Then everyone was exhausted.

Lin Shuying also spent the whole day doing her makeup and teaching Liang Ranran and the others how to do things themselves next time. The boss can't do everything herself, because that would limit what she can do.

Lin Shuying handed out several small blankets to each person, saying, "Rest well, you have a three-day holiday!"

Everyone cheered, "Long live the boss! We love you the most!"

Lin Shuying laughed and said, "You did a great job today, so your pay is tripled!"

Everyone was moved to tears, while Lin Shuying found it amusing.

She was very tired today and went straight to sleep when she got back to her room.

The next morning, the aunt was cooking porridge in the kitchen. When she saw the boss, she quickly greeted him, "Boss, you're up?"

"Well, hard work."

"It's not hard work for you guys, it's hard work for you. I was thinking of making some porridge in the morning to whet your appetite."

"Ok."

Lin Shuying brought her own portion to the table and started drinking; it tasted alright.

White rice is probably the most accurate food replica that the interstellar people have ever made.

Just then, a phone call came through the personal terminal.

Lin Shuying thought it was her parents, but when she clicked on it, it was an unknown number.

Only her employees and Lin's parents probably know her number.

"Hello."

On the other end of the line was a man with a refined and pleasant voice. "Hello, I'm Wu Cheng. The event lasted too long yesterday so we couldn't arrange a meeting. Manager Lin gave me your personal terminal number. Is it convenient for me to visit you today?"

Lin Shuying slapped her forehead, remembering that she had an appointment!

"Sorry, I was really busy yesterday. Come on over, we can meet on the holographic network."

"Let's meet in person. I'm nearby and will be there soon. Thank you for giving me this opportunity."

"polite."

The person arrived quickly, and Lin Shuying led him to the reception room on the second floor.

Wu Cheng was intrigued by Lin Shuying's surroundings. "You're doing quite well. You've even bought a whole bunch of big villas to use as studios."

They were so friendly from the start, and their conversation revealed that they were from the same hometown.

Lin Shuying laughed and said, "I accidentally went viral. I've seen your cooperation proposal, and to be honest, I'm not optimistic about investing in your planet."

Wu Cheng looked around and asked, "Is it safe here? Is anyone listening in?"

Lin Shuying looked confused. "Probably not..."

Who would be so bored as to spy on her?

You can't get anything good from her. Everything is open and transparent. If you want something, just search for it online. As long as you pay the patent fee, you can use it however you want.

Qingfengyi is active online every day; instead of trying to monitor her, why not go and play with Qingfengyi?

Wu Cheng said, "I'll tell you a secret."

Lin Shuying took a sip of tea and waited for him to speak.

"The price for this secret is investing in my planet. Qingfengyi currently has over two billion players, enough to support the rise of a planet..."

After hearing this, Lin Shuying laughed and said, "But I'm not interested."

"Don't you want to promote and develop Chinese culture? Don't you want to create another China? Don't you want to become someone of high status? I am also one of the Chinese who traveled from another time. The secret I'm telling you is the reason we traveled from another time. Isn't that enough to gain your support?"

Lin Shuying feigned surprise and asked, "You too?"

She wasn't surprised by the initial revelation. However, she was somewhat interested in the information that followed.

“Of course, otherwise I wouldn’t have come to you. It was because I saw so many familiar settings that I designed the project to be transferred from the main family to here. I believe you are interested in my stuff.”

Lin Shuying narrowed her eyes and pondered for a moment before saying, "I'm not interested in these things. At most, I'll collaborate with you on the food-themed dungeon, but I'm not going to support your planet."

"Don't you want to create a completely new China?"

Lin Shuying said, "I don't think it's necessary. Building a planet requires population and money to maintain it. Why don't I consider the entire interstellar space as the soil for my development?"

Wu Cheng paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "What you said makes sense, but if I can travel through time and still have the chance to become a planetary lord, I plan to give it a try."

"Good luck. The advertising is easy to handle, but I'm afraid I can't help with anything else."

Qingfengyi's resources are insufficient to support a planet, and even if they were, she has no interest.

"Alright, but I still want to tell you the reason for the time travel. In recent years, the interstellar community has been implementing a heritage revival plan. They have been researching for over three hundred years and have developed a technology. Using an excessive amount of energy shockwaves, they can open a soul transfer channel to pull people from the past in parallel universes into this world, and the people of this world will replace them. Several people have already succeeded, and you and I are among them. They will allow these time travelers to move within their monitored range, and once they exceed the safe zone, they will be eliminated. Therefore, we must unite and work hard to build a planet of our own. Only in this way will we have enough power to fight against the interstellar people."

Lin Shuying felt a mix of emotions after hearing this, and was also a little angry.

Anyone would be angry if their life were swapped without their knowledge. Perhaps some people in that world had a bad life and felt happy about it, but her life was good!

She's successful in her career and loved by her parents. Although she might not be able to develop a business of the same scale as hers, she can immerse herself in her own world and enjoy herself...

This is devastating news for someone who doesn't lack anything.

How ridiculous! She thought it was a case of sudden death and time travel. Both sides died suddenly and time traveled, so at least it's fairer.

I never imagined it would be for this reason.

Despite being inwardly shocked, Lin Shuying remained calm on the surface, with almost no extra expression.

She asked, “Why don’t we integrate? Cultural invasion happened in our time… I don’t know if your time is the same as mine, but cultural invasion was very successful, wasn’t it? Since people in that era could do it, I don’t think we can’t do it now that they are actively accepting us and providing us with such suitable soil. Have more confidence in Chinese culture; the fact that it can withstand 80% of cultural invasion proves that it is truly remarkable.”

I used to think I should be more restrained to protect myself from being dissected, but now I can do whatever I want.

Wu Cheng frowned and said, "Even so, aren't you thinking about yourself? What if the interstellar people realize what's happening..."

"Isn't this exactly what they lack?"

Why would we need to find some time travelers? Time travel is free, isn't it?

Researching technology over hundreds of years must have taken a toll.

"Um...you're so clear-headed, and quite Zen-like. In that case, let's do an advertising collaboration. What are your plans?"

Since he couldn't attract investment, he also needed time to prepare.

Lin Shuying told Wu Cheng about the plan she had come up with the day before yesterday...

The next event she's planning would be perfect for incorporating elements like pastries and food, but she's not familiar with that area, since all she knows is eating; Wu Cheng will have to handle it himself.

After discussing it, Wu Cheng stayed for a while to help complete the structure of the pastry part.

He was a traditional Chinese pastry chef for about twenty years before Lin Shuying. At that time, Chinese pastries were under attack from Western pastries, and business was not good. Therefore, he began to learn Western pastries and reform himself.

He had barely stepped halfway across the Western-style threshold when he was stabbed in the foot by a small knife and fainted from the pain, after which he arrived in the interstellar world.

Thinking about this made him angry. "I'm not afraid of pain at all. That reason for transmigrating is just ridiculous. I still have so many books to read, and after transmigrating, there's a bunch of messy things from the original owner's family. I can't even properly study my pastries."

For someone who is passionate about their hobby, having their research and work interrupted is something to be resented for a lifetime!

Lin Shuying smiled and said, "You can continue your research in this world. The holographic world is a wonderful thing; you can do anything in it."

Wu Cheng: "I've already researched it. It requires very specific information to be stored in my mind before it can be generated. Besides, there aren't enough research materials and resources available for me here. Oh well, we'll just have to make the best of it. They can't send us back anyway."

"Can't we go back?"

"No, can you tell me how you designed the things inside Qingfengyi? I used holographic design to create food, but I still couldn't achieve a satisfactory result."

Lin Shuying doesn't quite understand. She rarely encounters situations in the game channel that she can't come up with ideas for. The only one she can't do is mythology or cultivation systems. She's waiting for the game platform to innovate.

Seeing that she didn't understand, Wu Cheng explained, "The taste of food is not fixed; even a slight change results in a completely new taste. However, the holographic world records the appearance, taste, essence, and logic of things through our brainwaves. No chef or pastry chef would dare to say that their pastries are unchanging; if they don't change, it means they are regressing."

Lin Shuying suddenly realized, "I knew the food in the holographic world was weird... Okay, good luck."

According to Wu Cheng, pastries should be entered into the physical record.

Lin Shuying has another question she's curious about, but she doesn't know if he knows it.

"Was the personnel for the interstellar project pre-selected or random?"

If she has already chosen someone, can she switch back?

She misses her parents a little. Although she only checks in on them during holidays and spends a few days at home, it doesn't mean their relationship is bad. On the contrary, she has a very good relationship with her parents, who have always been the ones who quietly support her hobbies and dreams.

I'm feeling a bit unwell...
