Chapter 235
A single prop can sell for over ten thousand, while the hiring price is only seven or eight thousand. It's obvious that getting props is the most cost-effective option.
Of course, you get paid regardless of whether you get the items or not, but you need to be strong to get the items yourself, and you can't be on the field all the time. You have to step down when you encounter a skilled opponent, or when you're about ready. You have to give others a chance and not offend most people, or you'll get ganged up on.
Although the players united and focused on obtaining rare items, the sheer number of players meant that even a one-in-ten chance of getting the item was impossible.
Those who didn't get it had to buy it from the store, but that's how it is with games—you feel uneasy if you can't get it for free. However, the event is nearing its end, so there's no other way but to make the most of the time and experience other events.
This event also includes many other activities, such as the Lisu Harvest Festival (watching them walk on knives, drink heartily, and throw tobacco pouches); the Yao Panwang Festival; and the Uyghur Eid al-Fitr and Nowruz festivals. Many ethnic groups celebrate their festivals through Islam; for example, the Uyghurs, Kyrgyz, and Kazakhs observe Islamic holidays. The Russians celebrate Christian holidays. Several other ethnic groups also celebrate the Torch Festival, Water Splashing Festival, and the March 3rd Festival, though at slightly different times.
The Han Chinese celebrate the Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival together.
From a festival perspective, the fifty-six flowers truly represent one family, blooming freely and shining brightly on the land of China. Lin Shuying logged on to experience the event when she had free time, and seeing how much the Star Trek players enjoyed it filled her with a sense of pride and belonging. This is her world and her spiritual energy, continuously nourishing her heart, which remains vibrant even after several years away.
The event ended quickly, and the in-game instance will no longer be available. However, it will be available in real life. Recently, two more third-order stars have arrived, hoping to change their attributes from mining planets to tourist destinations. Two more are members of upper-class families who plan to acquire a barren star to cultivate, focusing on a theme from Qingfengyi. They invested based on Qingfengyi's popularity and future potential, seizing the opportunity.
Lin Shuying distributed the themes from 'A Hundred Flowers in Full Bloom' across five planets. After negotiations, Tilan City took over the tourism development of the Dai, Lisu, and Jing ethnic groups, leaving 51 resources remaining. However, the two mining planets that intended to revive their businesses didn't have enough resources, so they each took over four, and the remaining forty-three were distributed to planets invested in by the two large families.
Lin Shuying sent her most senior staff and even recruited several fellow villagers as consultants, striving to recreate the former civilization as completely as possible. This is also part of the Dragon Journey Plan, which is progressing very well and yielding gratifying results. Combined with the designers sent out previously, the investments, and the streamers recruited through resources, Qingfengyi is now a household name.
I initially thought that period dramas couldn't compete with Barbie Fashion's modern wear, but unexpectedly, thanks to a strong strategic plan and promotion, their quarterly revenue exceeded Barbie Fashion's by 30%! This data was compiled by interstellar data experts and some authoritative departments, so it's highly credible. After all, interstellar data compilation is quite different from Lin Shuying's era, especially the data from that later era, which was basically a fantastical product of imagination compiled without even leaving the office.
At this point, those wealthy investors who had been waiting to see what would happen before investing couldn't sit still any longer. They sent Lin Shuying invitations to their gatherings, hoping to discuss investing in Qingfengyi. Lin Shuying had previously decisively rejected several big investors; those investors were arrogant and wouldn't immediately turn around and invest in Barbie Fashion, otherwise Barbie Fashion wouldn't have grown so rapidly. Even viral marketing requires financial investment, and viral marketing isn't about bigger scale the better; it has a peak, and its current scale has long since exceeded that peak.
The moment Qingfengyi's sales surpassed Barbie Fashion's, the investment tycoons realized they had chosen the wrong side.
Lin Qiaoqiao came over with the invitation and asked Lin Shuying if she wanted to go. Lin Shuying naturally refused, as she remained true to her original intention: Qingfengyi must and can only have a voice, and she would not join anyone, not even a fellow countryman who was also a transmigrator.
"Tell them that Qingfengyi does not accept investment, but can help introduce them to various planets that cooperate with Qingfengyi."
Lin Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "Boss, you're so smart. I'll go make the arrangements right away, and while I'm at it, I'll ask if we can bring representatives from those planets in."
After transforming the Huaxia interstellar planets, Qingfengyi will actively help these planets find resources. In return, these planets must act in accordance with the contracts signed with Qingfengyi and strictly adhere to the requirements for planetary construction. The entire process of tourist attraction construction and subsequent training will be handled by employees dispatched by Qingfengyi, ensuring that there will be no underhanded alterations or additions.
Lin Shuying hadn't initially paid much attention to this, but while organizing the data, she recalled the various schemes and tricks employed by "banana people" and "CPs" (couples of different ethnicities) in her past life and decided to take precautions. In interstellar space, one doesn't need to worry about education, literature, social atmosphere, or news media being tainted with filth, but one must guard against distortions or fantasies of the truth.
Strangely enough, after the four planets were successfully renamed and the event ended, Lin Shuying inexplicably developed a fever again. This time, the fever came on fiercely, with profuse nosebleeds, and Lin Shuying felt dizzy, lightheaded, and disoriented. The entire Qingfengyi staff was terrified, wondering if their boss had contracted a genetic disease.
Genetic diseases are expensive to treat, but they are not untreatable. Unfortunately, after a doctor's examination, Lin Shuying was found to have no problems at all.
That's very strange.
She rested in the hospital for two days and recovered quickly, returning to work as soon as possible. This time, however, she began to seriously organize her notes, revising her previous haphazard scribblings that only she could understand, making them essentially like a model high school notebook. Anyone with a little effort could decipher them, and even if she could only supervise from her hospital bed and provide verbal guidance, the employees could still use the notes to complete subsequent activity updates. However, the updated content was probably less than half of what it was now, and the modeling and environments weren't as good...
Thinking about this, Lin Shuying didn't want to organize the notes anymore. What if someone else understood it differently?
I'm so worried.
It felt like he had just married a new wife and was about to go off to join the army and fight. He was worried that his beloved wife would be mistreated by the clan elders, but he was also worried that if he didn't marry her, she would run away.
Hesitating left and right.
While I was thinking, many ideas, some of them trivial, appeared in my notebook.
This event ended before the fashion show and auction could be held due to Lin Shuying's illness. After Lin Shuying was discharged from the hospital, it was discovered that there were not enough products and works to hold the event. Lin Shuying then said, "Let's do a live makeup and styling session."
During the live stream, only Lin Shuying's upper body and hands were visible on camera. The models were Meng Longhai and Li Feiyu, who have recently become very popular. They have gained hundreds of millions of fans due to their frequent appearances on Qingfengyi's fashion shows; the handsome man and beautiful woman have attracted attention.
Both wore curved-hem robes with jade pendants hanging from their waists. The man wore a brown curved-hem robe with a square-patterned design underneath, and a white outer garment over it. The woman wore a pink curved-hem robe with a white outer garment over it.
First, Li Feiyu's makeup was done. Her eyebrows were drawn into delicate willow-leaf shapes, arching gently over her brow bone. The corners of her eyes were a deep red, and her blush a light touch. Her hairstyle was a peony fairy bun, with the hair hanging down in front and trailing behind, adorned with blooming peonies on the side. The bun was secured at the top with a red ribbon and adorned with a pink rose hairpin. The hairpin was made by Liang Ranran; her skill was excellent, and the style was extremely luxurious and extravagant.
Two large white jade hairpins with teardrop-shaped openwork at the top are inserted into the peony-shaped bun, with another peony adorning the side. A small phoenix comb is used to secure the hair at the back. The overall look is simple and elegant, without much embellishment. However, it makes Li Feiyu appear very poised, elegant, noble, and dignified, while also exuding a captivating and alluring charm.
Li Hailong had a simple base makeup applied. His skin tone was unusually pale due to prolonged indoor exposure and lack of sunlight. A purple tint was used to even out his complexion, followed by a wheatish shade. This makeup style was typical of Han Dynasty scholars and Confucianists. At that time, Confucian scholars weren't as pedantic as later generations, but were still on the path of pedantry. Therefore, they studied not only the Four Books and Five Classics, but also the Six Arts, horsemanship, archery, and so on. They were capable of leading troops on the battlefield and serving as prime ministers in the court. Their physique had to be strong and resilient, not soft and pale.
After adjusting your skin tone, apply a thin layer of blush to your cheeks to brighten your complexion.
Next is the crown, which is a goldfish-shaped three-pointed crown with ribbons and beaded chains on both sides.
He not only had a jade pendant at his waist, but also a luxurious sword, and held a scepter in his hand, making him appear very refined and dignified.
Lin Shuying explained the entire makeup process in detail, emphasizing the style of this particular makeup look.
Viewers left numerous comments during the live stream:
"What I lack isn't explanation; what I lack is the hands of a designer."
"Family members, I'm clearly following along, so why am I still applying foundation while she's already almost done?"
"You think you can learn from this hand speed?"
The most noticeable are, of course, many ordinary people who aren't exactly clumsy, but simply struggle to keep up and find learning difficult. Less noticeable are those with exceptional learning abilities, those with natural talent, and those who are clumsy.
"I think it's alright. I learned it from others, and it's really good. The most impressive thing is that the effect is not much different from different people's drawings. [Image]"
The picture shows a man with makeup on, looking at the camera with a heroic air. He has phoenix eyes and sharp eyebrows, which makes him look a bit fierce and scary.
"Haha, I think it's fine too. I'm wearing women's clothing, and you're in front of me, let's pair up and take pictures of each other?"
"Okay, okay, add me."
Those with exceptional talent often provoke hatred with their chat messages, though this group is very small and insignificant compared to Qingfengyi's billions of players. But who likes others showing off in front of them?
This is definitely going to attract a lot of hatred!
Then everyone started swearing, and the live stream channel was flooded with insults, turning completely black. But Lin Shuying and her group seemed perfectly normal; it was so surreal.
