Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 18

He picked up the box and examined it carefully before placing it in front of the camera. "Look," he said, "this is the treasure I've collected this time. The packaging is exquisite and priceless. It's beautiful and has a faint fragrance."

He started a holographic live stream, and the viewers in the live stream could smell the faint sandalwood scent, which was refreshing and pleasant.

This fragrance wasn't produced by an outside company; they have no idea what natural sandalwood smells like. It was Lin Shuying who created a fragrance video and commissioned a perfume company to create a custom scent.

Spray some on the faux wood box during packaging to achieve a realistic effect.

"Wow, the faux wood box that the rich guy bought is so beautiful! Where did he buy it and how much did it cost? I want to buy one too."

"Tch, it's just a fake wooden box, not the real thing."

Upon seeing this, Deng Yijun scoffed, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would buy a box? I buy what's inside; the outside is just packaging. See that company logo? Pretty, isn't it?"

When we opened it before, we showed the audience the back first, so they didn't see the more beautiful icons on the front. Now that they see them, they are amazed by how beautiful it is.

"Wow, I want the beauty on the icon, she's so alluring."

"She looks so gentle, but why are there no colors, just black and white lines?"

"correct."

Ignoring the audience's comments, Deng Yijun took several deep breaths, somewhat hesitant to open the box.

This is one of the two prizes he received, a men's bracelet, but he doesn't know which one. He redeemed all the bracelets in the game, and supposedly this prize is one of them.

I can't wait! I can't wait! I can't wait!

I'm so nervous!

"Hoo hoo, I'm so nervous. Which one is inside? I'm too scared to open it."

The comments section was filled with laughter: "What kind of treasure could possibly make even a worldly tycoon like this so nervous and conflicted?"

"I'm guessing it's just a wooden box."

"People are saying it's not a wooden box anymore."

The black box slowly opened, revealing a piece of gold velvet that shimmered with an air of wealth under the light. Then, a dark green, crystal-clear bead appeared. A series of flashes of light, and everyone instinctively thought of the phrase "glittering jewels."

"My mech grand marshal, what is this?"

"It looks like a high-quality energy stone."

"It's a top-grade energy stone. Rich guy, you actually spent money to buy a string of top-grade energy stones, hahaha."

"Although this energy stone is of very good quality and looks very nice as it is, it is not worth a fortune."

"I checked, and an energy stone of this quality, processed like this, is worth 1.2 million interstellar coins."

"Wow, isn't this a bit too cheap for a rich dad?"

Ignoring everything else, Deng Yijun carefully picked up the bracelet, touched it, and found it smooth and cool to the touch—it felt wonderful. A small red koi fish hung from the bottom, instantly making the dark green bracelet stand out.

It is strung together with fine red rope, and the clasp is auspicious cloud knot, which is very stylish.

Inside the box was also a sachet containing desiccant, made by the renowned perfume company, Glamour Night. The fragrance, sandalwood, was licensed from Lin Shu-ying.

There's also a small instruction manual to tell customers how to wear it and not to break the auspicious cloud knot.

The beads are easy to imitate, but the knotted rope and koi pendant are difficult to replicate.

Lin Shuying only applied for design patents for the game; she didn't apply for patents for anything outside of the game.

She's not afraid of others copying her products; she sells custom-made luxury goods.

What matters is the brand's value.

The wealthy player said, "This is a prize from Qingfengyi's game spending leaderboard this time. It's unique and can't be bought. Moreover, it's a limited-time event, you wouldn't understand."

So what if a high-grade energy stone can sell for 1.2 million? Is it a work of art?

Is it produced by Qingfengyi?

Is it the same model as the one in the game?

Is this an official confirmation?

snort!

What he has is officially recognized as unique.

Carefully placed it in the box, I handed it to my assistant, "Put it in the first-class section, be careful. Open the box for me, I want to see it every time I enter the collection room."

The assistant asked, "Aren't we sending it to Vega?"

"Why would I send this bracelet to the Weaver Girl Star when I'm right here? Look, the instructions say that the bracelet needs to be worn to develop its luster and charm."

There was also a safety inspection certificate on it, which Lin Shuying, that interstellar idiot, had done. She figured these gems, being energy stones, must emit radiation that could harm her health, so she sent them for testing.

I later learned that the energy stones wouldn't harm human health, but since they'd already been tested, they should at least have some effect. So I printed the test report on the instruction manual, which was perfect since there wasn't much to say in the manual anyway.

Viewers were mesmerized by the koi fish and kept asking him to do a close-up of it on the live stream. Deng Yijun, however, wasn't willing to waste time; he still had 29 boxes to open.

I picked up another box; it was a black wooden box with a carved Qingfengyi (清风意) symbol on the front.

Inside was a string of amber beads, each carved into the shape of a Pixiu head. These were individually carved by an 18 million yuan intelligent carving machine purchased by Lin Shuying, making each Pixiu unique. It was the most expensive piece in the batch, easily fetching several million yuan.

Deng Yijun was stunned. "Absolutely stunning! Truly stunning!"

Upon closer inspection under the light, it was discovered to be the brain of a very majestic beast, with various expressions and postures, possessing a certain artistic beauty.

I picked up the instruction manual from the side; it read:

"The Pixiu, a mythical creature in Chinese mythology, is fierce-looking, powerful, and enormous. It symbolizes good fortune, warding off evil, protecting wealth, and bringing prosperity. Wearing it is believed to ensure smooth sailing and protection from all evil. This piece depicts the Pixiu in sixteen different poses, each expressing different emotions."

Then, a majestic ink painting of a Pixiu was attached.

"What a majestic beast!"

"This isn't a ferocious beast, it's a divine beast. Didn't you see that written in the instruction manual?"

"Isn't China just a country on our home planet?"

"Yes, we might even have Chinese blood."

It's hard to explain, but this bracelet is definitely top-quality!

Many wealthy viewers were tempted and spent money to leave comments with special effects, such as, "Brother Deng, where did you get this bracelet? I'll buy it, how much?"

Wang Nianzong, the youngest son of a powerful family on Vega, just like the Deng family, sent several special effects messages, but unfortunately Deng Yijun couldn't see them. He was engrossed in admiring the sixteen Pixiu figures on the bracelet, carefully studying the differences in their expressions.

When Wang Nianzong saw that he was ignoring him, he simply contacted the head of the Deng family. The father of Deng did not take it seriously, as his son's eye for collecting items was far inferior to his own.

He went berserk when Wang Nianzong sent him a screenshot of the bracelet, and made more than a dozen phone calls to his son.

The assistant asked Deng Yijun, "Boss, what's the head of the family's phone number?"

Deng Yijun snapped out of her daze and hurriedly said, "I won't answer. I won't answer anyone's calls during this time. This is my stuff, I won't give it to you."

When Deng's father saw his son say in the live stream that he wouldn't answer the phone, he was so angry that he gasped for breath for a while. He then sent a message, asking where his son was, explaining that he just wanted to check on him and had no intention of taking him for himself.

Unfortunately, his son completely ignored him.

This bracelet is absolutely gorgeous! The mythical beasts on it are majestic and powerful, making it the perfect accessory for the head of the household.

Going out to a party, this bracelet alone is enough to attract envious glances from many wealthy people...

Over here, Deng Yijun carefully put the bracelet on her wrist and said to her assistant, "Turn off the bullet screen function, it's an eyesore."

"Okay, boss."

Behind the scenes, many wealthy people were cursing and swearing.

"What's so great about it? It's just an energy stone carving. I'll find someone to carve it for me right now!"

It's so easy to copy after taking a screenshot, haha.

Deng Yijun happened to see the last comment with the money-splurging effect before the bullet screen function was turned off. He proudly said, "Go ahead and replicate it. Anyway, it's not the original designed by the designer. No matter how well the counterfeit is made, it's still a counterfeit."

The person who posted the comment was so angry that they slammed their fist on the table, yelling, "Who designed this? Find it for me right now! I need a string of identical ones!"

The subordinates quickly went out to contact and search, but found nothing about the private information.

Interstellar games offer strict protection for personal privacy, unless the other party is a criminal and you have a warrant to access their information.

However, the three large characters "Qingfengyi" on the box were still very eye-catching. The assistant found a game studio on a third-tier star and also found the game.

Then, another nouveau riche joined the ranks of those criticizing the designer.

What a terrible game! Why are they having limited-edition events?!

Disregarding player experience, engaging in malicious marketing – report this!

Report them all.

While reporting the issue, he also instructed his subordinates to contact the third-tier game section to get the game listed on the first-tier platform.

The gaming division was ecstatic; a top-tier boss had actually come to promote the games!

The top leader actively contacted the planet owner to promote the game. They also needed to contact Lin Shuying, as the game belonged to her and her consent was required before it could be shared with other platforms.

When she organizes limited-edition events, she also needs to discuss whether to hold a second one, as well as the envelope effects.

The employees of the game platform, who were obsessed with Qingfengyi, were thrilled at the prospect of having the chance to obtain exclusive event items.

Waiting for the results every day.

Back to Deng Yijun, let's continue unpacking.

Next up are the prizes from other players that we acquired; let's open the biggest one first.

After opening the packaging box, there was a huge cardboard box inside, with the Qingfengyi logo and the words "Handle with care" written below it.

Upon opening, a delicate floral fragrance wafts out, a mysterious and subtle scent.

This is the fragrance of peonies, and it's also the perfume that Charming Night created based on the holographic video provided by Lin Shuying.

Remove the white ribbon stuffing, and you'll find many beautiful silk flowers inside.

Deng Yijun explained, "This is a peony, which is a level four flower in Qingfeng Yi Garden, and it's quite difficult to obtain. It took me three or four days to get it. The silk flower is well-made, but it's not quite as good as the one in the game. The fragrance isn't as pleasant, and the texture is just so-so."

The viewers who can't send comments are indignant. If you think it's just okay, you can give it to us!

There was also a blue and white porcelain vase in the box, a vase depicting a beautiful woman with a slender waist and a large belly.

An instruction manual showing how to arrange peonies in a vase to make a decorative piece.

For the wealthy, this is really quite ordinary. After all, they already have artificial flower decorations at home. The only advantage of this one is that the fragrance is relatively natural.

It comes with a small bottle of perfume; you can spray it on if the floral scent fades, and you can buy more when you run out.

"Put this in my bedroom. Remember to clean it every day and don't let it collect dust. Get rid of the old vase of flowers."

"Okay, boss."

The assistant took the arranged flowers away.

Let's move on to the next one. The remaining 18 are all silk flowers, which have appeared in the game.

It's truly exceptional for ordinary people, but the super-rich wouldn't even notice it.

The boxes for silk flowers are quite large, and after opening them, they come in smaller boxes.

Inside the box were earrings, beautiful crystal earrings, women's style.

Earrings, made of red gemstones and accented with emerald beads, for women.

Earrings, featuring pink petals and sapphire accents, women's style.

Earrings, featuring emerald green leaves and purple flowers, women's style.

Earrings, small floral print, pink crystal, women's style.

These earrings are in a lotus leaf design with white pearls hanging from the bottom. They're women's style and absolutely gorgeous.

A bracelet, finally a bracelet.

A string of sky-blue ice snowflake jade beads, paired with red koi fish.

It seems the designer has made a lot of koi fish; he already has two strings.

The assistant joked, "This string of beads makes a perfect pair with the boss's dark green one."

Deng Yijun said happily, "They were originally a pair; they appear as a pair in the game. I'm so lucky to have managed to get a matching couple's set. It's perfect."

I tried it on, and the quality is excellent.

"Go and get that one, and put this string together with it."

If I ever have a partner, I'll use this to propose, and I guarantee it will be successful.

The assistant said, "Boss, that box is too small to fit."

"Idiot! Why don't you find a big box and put the two small boxes together?"

Assistant: "I'll go down and order it right away."

The next three were all earrings; not a single men's earring was found.

There are men's earrings in the game, and they are very beautiful.

"Post an announcement throughout the game: Is there anyone willing to trade their men's earrings for women's earrings? If so, I'm willing to make up the difference."

Assistant: "I'm afraid it won't be easy to get it. The game's official gifts are based on gender."

Deng Yijun glared at him, "How will you know if you don't go and exchange it? There's nothing that money can't solve."

Little did they know, after other unboxing videos were posted online, everyone clutched their items tightly. The instruction manual clearly stated that this was a limited-edition item.

In other words, the potential for future price increases is unparalleled!

Only a fool would sell that.

Silk flowers are easy to buy; you can always afford one with half a month's salary. They're all fake anyway, so they're all the same.

No, the jewelry isn't; it's all uniquely designed by Qingfengyi.

Many viewers watching Deng Yijun's live stream were eager to try it out and experience the game at the third-tier level. They wondered what kind of game could make a wealthy person abandon the comfortable life at the first-tier level to play it.

Those with strong operational capabilities have already booked spaceships and are departing immediately.

Meanwhile, the planet owner and the game platform actively contacted Lin Shuying, but Lin Shuying basically didn't check her private messages and didn't notice them at all.

I'm completely absorbed in handicrafts every day.

This time, we're making earrings for the school's students.

The more you do handicrafts, the better they taste.

Liang Ranran can now also make simple earrings, and the two of them chatted and became engrossed in the process.

Lin Qiaoqiao, Zhang Zhongxia, Lu Yunzhi, and He Mengqiu were so engrossed in editing videos, post-production, organizing finances, and making price lists that they had no time to play games.

Finally, the planet's lord had no choice but to send his capable assistant, Xiao Anlan, to visit.

The aircraft arrived at the residential area, and the security robot checked its identity before allowing it to pass.

There was a knock on the door. Liang Ranran got up and opened it, and was startled to see a gray strip.

People who are used to seeing clothes suddenly feel a bit uncomfortable seeing spray-painted strips.
