Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 205

Lin Shuying told her to find something she enjoyed to do, and everyone was free to have fun. The purpose of team building wasn't necessarily to do anything grand, like the Wolf Culture Company in her previous life where everyone had to shout themselves hoarse to express their unwavering loyalty to the company. Her goal was simply for everyone to have fun together, enhance relationships among employees, maintain close communication among them, and have a good time.

Who has a serious illness? Why are we doing tasks during team building and relaxation time?

However, apart from that auntie, everyone enjoyed the fun activities Lin Shuying suggested. Towards the end, the ditch suddenly lurched forward so fast that even three cars couldn't make it around. So some people ran to the nearby ditches to play, and they discovered that different ditches offered different challenges—it was so exciting!

Some of the ditches are very wide, big enough for two or three cars to drive side by side. With lots of people, it gets lively, and all sorts of screams and shouts are quite cathartic. Having friends to join in the fun makes even the quietest people go wild.

Some of the ravines were very steep, and the high-speed descent was terrifying; every muscle was pounding—it was so thrilling!

Some of the gullies have many protruding rocks, which severely tests the driver's skills. A single mistake could cause the entire vehicle to flip over, creating a rather dramatic scene. Everyone prefers the more challenging tracks because they're truly exhilarating!

It evokes a thrilling sense of wild, awakened bloodline that's hard to resist.

A group of people spent the morning playing in the mountain valley, and when it was over, their faces were flushed and their blood was boiling.

Liang Ranran asked excitedly, "Boss, where did you come up with this idea?"

Lin Shuying thought for a moment and said, "I thought of it when I saw players rolling in the grass, hahaha, it's kind of exciting."

"It's so much fun! Boss, I love you the most!"

"Boss, you're the most beautiful and wonderful boss ever! Sending you a little heart~"

.......

The employees showered her with praise and compliments, making Lin Shuying a little embarrassed. She waved her hand and said, "That's it for this team building activity. Go back and get some rest before continuing to work. The dispatched workers have the afternoon off to prepare well, so they can set off full of energy and high spirits!"

"it is good!"

The crowd cheered, their voices echoing through the valley. Given the atmosphere, Lin Shuying had the illusion that a mountain king was inciting his men to seize territory.

The player was a little disappointed after searching for a while without finding Qingfengyi's team-building location. After regaining their composure, they started playing the game seriously, noting that there were also activities like spring outings and kite flying.

Many players have finally discovered the newly updated kite shop in the game. The shop is filled with a dazzling array of kites, including swallows, butterflies, centipedes, flowers, pentagrams, pandas, goldfish, and more, all in vibrant and festive colors.

There are even 3D kites, and players are very skeptical that such a thing can actually fly without additional devices.

They understood that the Kongming lanterns could fly because they were based on the principle of hot air balloons, but what about this one?

The koi kite is round and plump, constructed with very thin bamboo frames and covered with paper.

Even more shocking!

Many players bought one of each kite, and one person bought the centipede kite. After activating the centipede dungeon, he was stunned for a moment, excitedly gesturing wildly, and quickly left a message in the world chat:

"Family members, I've triggered a secret realm. The trigger was buying a kite from a shop, like this one. [Picture attached]"

The world chat paused for two seconds before spamming wildly:

"Really? What's the secret realm like?"

"Upstairs, don't ask any questions, hurry up and buy it."

"So that's how the mysterious encounters mentioned in the announcement are triggered?"

"If there's only this one secret realm, it's a bit boring."

"I have bought all the kites, only the centipede kite will trigger the Centipede Ridge Secret Realm."

"No, I made a panda kite myself, which triggered the Ancient Mystic Realm. It can take five people in, hehe. [Image]"

The image is a screenshot of a prompt to trigger a secret realm. It shows various monsters in a dark background, but without detail; they are all black. They are enormous and look quite terrifying.

Players got excited when they saw the background; could there really be giant beasts inside the secret realm?

"Do you think the giant beasts Qingfengyi conceived are like pets?"

"It's different, isn't it? If there were Zerg, I'd be the first to charge forward. With my current strength, I could definitely take them down in one hit!"

“‘There are no plants in Luobei,’ I’ll pay you a high price for your spot in the secret realm, name your price.”

The player who triggered the secret realm replied: "Sorry, I'm planning to bring my friends in to play, hehe."

The players were a little disappointed and kept asking her to stream. She replied that she'd think about it, then quickly turned and asked her friend to prepare the streaming camera while she went to put on her beautiful clothes.

Grab your panda kite and let's go!

Over here, many players bought centipede kites and flocked to Centipede Ridge. They then spread outwards, searching for anything special about this instance, but after searching for a long time, they couldn't find anything remarkable. They only noticed that the mountains here were peculiar; there were no large plains, only rows of high mountains, and the plants on the mountains were incredibly diverse, many of which they couldn't recognize.

After collection, it displays: Unknown tree species, called 'Paopi tree' in some local dialects of China.

An unknown tree species, called "la maozi" in some local dialects of China.

The tree species is unknown, even to the designer.

.......

When players saw the phrase "the designer doesn't know either," their minds seemed to go blank for a moment, and their vision went completely empty.

"What do you mean the designer doesn't know either?"

"I do not know."

.......

After identifying the plants, players found that nearly 30% of them were ones that even the designers didn't know. They collected these plants, made videos of them, and posted them on the StarNet, which became quite popular.

There are just too many plants in Centipede Ridge, many of which Qingfengyi didn't have before. Collecting them will unlock the encyclopedia, but the labels below are plant one, two, three, four, etc., unlike the flowers that had accurate flower names before.

Lin Shuying herself didn't actually know the names of these plants. She recreated the entire scene based on the remote mountain village where she grew up, trying her best to reproduce all the plants. She knew roughly what they were called when she was a child, but after not going into the mountains for nearly ten years, she couldn't remember the ones she didn't see.

Some of the trees disappeared after she grew up, and the mountain was covered with only economically valuable tree species, making it very monotonous. Therefore, she didn't know their names, and even if she could recall some, they were just names she'd given them as a child. She didn't know if adults had taught her those names or if they were just random names children made up back then; she leaned towards the latter.

Children's minds are really quick. They name many things they don't know based on their values ​​and senses. She has made a lot of jokes because of this, which are now embarrassing stories that her parents tease her about when she grows up.

Mountains with diverse tree species are ideal for hiking and recreation, but even single-species forests can be interesting, like maple or peach groves. However, that kind of beauty is refined, always the same, lacking novelty. Like a plastic beauty, exactly like an idol from a past life.

The most distinctive feature of forests is their rich biodiversity; a sufficient number of species enhances a forest's vitality. Intangible things cannot be appreciated without comparison; only through comparison can one gain a profound understanding.

The players arrived at the foot of a mountain and were a little puzzled by the scene there.

A player asked in the world chat: "Has anyone been to Centipede Ridge?"

A player replied below: "I'm in Centipede Ridge, just arrived half an hour ago."

"Are there any even earlier ones?"

"No, right? Wasn't it the player who first discovered the centipede kite connecting the secret realm?"

"Go ask the NPC."

"They will say?"

The quick-thinking players actually went to ask the shopkeeper who sold the kites, and to their surprise, the shopkeeper actually told them.

"At eight quarters past dawn, a group of people came to buy centipede kites. There were so many customers, seventy or eighty at once."

The player who asked the question was confused when he heard "卯时八刻" (Mao Shi Ba Ke). What time is that?

If you don't know, ask in the world chat:

"Family members, what is the eighth quarter of the hour of Mao (5-7 AM)?"

"......"

"......"

"......"

"A science popularizer passing by. According to the data record table compiled by players, Mao Shi Ba Ke is approximately 7:00 AM. [Images attached] The data table has an error of half an hour, and the exact time needs to be sorted and calculated. The exact time is still not available."

"Wow, Qingfengyi actually designed a completely new method of time recording?"

The Chinese Academy of Sciences, which had been monitoring Qingfengyi's intentions, quickly intervened and stirred up trouble.

"Actually, the time system used by a certain ancient kingdom on our home planet is similar to the time system used in the Qingfengyi Huaxia Jianghu. Archaeologists have already unearthed some of this information."

Upon seeing this commentary, players immediately asked, "Really? I'll go check it out right now."

"I am coming too!"

"Why does that country use this method of recording time? The statistical tables they issue are incredibly complicated."

The people from the Academy of Sciences also rushed to find the time traveler to inquire about the situation. They needed to fill the gaps on the public side and prevent the matter of the summoning from being leaked.

Summoning is uncontrollable, and no one wants their family member to become someone from another time and space for no reason. After all, the other person might be fine after traveling here, but who knows what their own family member would be like? What if they were transported to a poor person, an idiot, or a disabled person, or what if they were still unable to board the ark when their home planet was destroyed?

The public absolutely cannot accept this!

Even if it means sacrificing oneself for interstellar humanity.

Cultural heritage is both important and unimportant to those below, but very important to a select group at the top. Throughout human history, there will always be a segment of people dedicated to collecting forgotten memories, weaving them into legendary tales, and inscribing them in the annals of history.

These people include archaeologists, history buffs, enthusiasts of the past, and explorers of human development; this summoning project was devised by them.

So far, the results have been good. Many vegetables are gradually returning and being cultivated, and many delicacies are reappearing in interstellar space. Games like "Qingfengyi," which gradually chronicle human history, showcase the entire process of human development, bringing tears to the eyes of many interstellar players!

But the summons must not be told to the public!

For the sake of human development, for the sake of world harmony...

Many summoners were asked, but none knew the specific background of the Huaxia Jianghu timeline. When asked, the tech expert could only answer what he knew.

"This is an ancient Chinese way of telling time, used for thousands of years, but I don't know its exact origin. However, I do know that there were sundials, and ancient people would use sundials to tell time."
