odessanovel Chapter 84
Chapter 84
There are so many great items in this event, especially weapons and weapon types. Weapons, needless to say, I want every one I can get my hands on!
The combat system is a bit difficult to master. Unlike mech battles, warship cannon firing, or laser gun shooting, players need to actually practice using it. Although it doesn't involve the physical pain or inability to do splits or somersaults in real life, it's still very difficult to get the hang of.
Based on the moves of each ranger, a player who can master even one of them is already very powerful, so she needs to think carefully.
In fact, when Lin Shuying designed it, in order to make it possible for StarCraft players to actually learn the moves and skills, she installed an experience point growth gradient for each skill, similar to that in online games from her previous life.
Once a certain experience level is reached, players will be notified that their kung fu has advanced, at which point they will experience sensations such as lightness of body and smoothness of movement. However, the holographic world has an intelligent rationalization feature, so it won't be too exaggerated, similar to giving a super-good pair of running shoes for a 1000-meter race.
Speaking of this, Lin Shuying has a bit of a headache with the mythological system. The reason she couldn't create it before was because of the need for rational intelligent matching and recognition; the game platform hasn't made any progress yet. Every illogical plot point needs to be animated or CG-ified...
Returning to Blue Star online games, I'm a little dissatisfied.
Back to Sister Xunmei, she was a little indecisive for a while, wanting everything.
The dance moves are cool, but the flowing sleeves and white ribbons are hard to wield. Hidden weapons are exciting, and assassinations would be incredibly satisfying, but the need for concealment makes it less enjoyable.
She likes to make a grand entrance with a raging storm and thunderous explosions, attracting everyone's attention and exuding an aura of "Look at me, I'm so cool!"
A wandering swordsman named Xiao Feng possessed the impressive Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, which could actually summon a divine dragon!
When the dragon emerged, a fierce wind swept through, leaves flew everywhere, and countless surrounding objects were overturned. Players who faced it were instantly killed; only those like the "God Only Loves His Wife," who wield heavy weapons, could withstand the powerful wind.
Can........
She wasn't strong enough to wield the heavy hammers; those White Tiger Hammers were really difficult to lift.
In the end, Sister Xunmei chose two martial arts to learn: one was the long whip, and the other was the dance of killing.
The dance-off is the hardest, but it's so beautiful!!!
Who can resist doing the coolest thing in the most beautiful way?
That special effects scene of the seductive dance in blue is a cherished memory for many players, sob sob sob.
Among the eighteen famous weapons of all time is a whip—the Purple Dragon Soul-Shattering Whip. This whip is ten meters long, with intertwined scales and a small ball of black iron at the tip. It is entirely dark purple, with specks of light pink and reddish threads in the middle.
Grab the head just right, and it gradually tapers downwards.
This whip is tied to a set of clothes called Bell Whisper Silver Garment.
The outfit is navy blue overall, with small red, green, pink, and blue floral trim. It's a short jacket, midriff-baring, and has many silver trumpet flower pendants hanging from the waist.
The skirt was also dark blue, with many trumpet-shaped flowers and silver bells hanging from the hem, and a long apron embroidered with sky-blue peacocks and azaleas in the front. The whip was wrapped around the waist of this dress, in circles, so hot.
Although the whip looks stiff, it feels smooth and warm against the skin, as if it were made from dragon skin, without any roughness. It becomes soft and gentle on the skin when heated by the skin's temperature – a truly fantastical design.
There were also many hair ornaments, including a large hairpin carved with a moon, and many small silver hairpins and hair ornaments with floral patterns behind and in front of the hairpin. There was also a pair of large moon earrings, decorated with six small bells with tiger head patterns, which were very exquisite.
She wore twelve delicate silver bracelets, six on each side, with small bells at the ends of the bracelets.
The designer, Qingfengyi, truly loves bells.
As she walked, a series of silvery bells jingled. Her voice preceded her arrival, perfectly fulfilling her desire for a flamboyant style.
It was this outfit that made Sister Xunmei ultimately choose the whip. If only she could be like that wandering swordswoman named Miao Jia Mei, one lash and the Black Tiger would leap over, sending the player back to their death...
I'm so excited just thinking about it!
He ignored them and ran off to buy fans.
When I arrived at the store, there were so many people!
After the store was expanded, the number of people allowed inside increased again, now reaching 20,000.
During peak hours, getting into the mall is like squeezing toothpaste – you have to slowly make your way in.
The once empty area inside the store is now filled with a dazzling array of items.
It contains various swords, daggers, fans, clothes, and accessories, many of which are items added for this event.
Players were very united; they all grinded for hidden and limited-edition items during the event, and explicitly stated that they didn't waste time getting anything that could be bought after the event.
After buying clothes, players quickly put together an outfit and went to the dashboard. Not only did they go on stage, but Black Tiger also got an outfit, and Flower Fairy got several outfits.
They decided to just grab a spot first, believing that the first to arrive would get the most votes, regardless of how perfunctory their outfits were.
One of the fun aspects of dress-up games is the dress-up arena battles, hehe.
If my outfit gets first place, I can brag about it for a long time.
Who knows, it might even start a trend. Then we can take photos and videos and post them on chat channels and online, hehe.
The previously quiet dashboard has suddenly become popular, with many players filming their outfits and posting them on StarNet.
Some of the outfits are absolutely stunning, and some of them are also absolutely stunning.
One is stunningly beautiful, the other is so beautiful that it makes one want to become a monk and sever all desires for beauty.
Some players who focused on commenting on their outfits were overjoyed. Before, the comments were so few that they barely lasted a day, but now they couldn't keep up. They spent all day browsing various competitions, and with only ten votes in total, they didn't have enough to cast for anyone.
There are quite a few players who enjoy looking at other people's outfits and giving their opinions; in each server, the stands are almost always full.
Some bloggers have become popular by compiling daily outfit ideas and styling tips. They organize various outfits, makeup looks, and ratings into a daily ranking list and upload it to the StarNet.
When there are many bloggers like this, they start competing to see whose comments are more appropriate and more in line with popular aesthetics.
Some bloggers have emerged who take a different approach: instead of judging the most beautiful, they start judging the ugliest and the most bizarre!
As a result, these players settled down in several fixed areas, where only the ugliest player was considered.
This has confused many new players, who often go to the wrong place and give the lowest score to the ugliest character and the lowest score to the most beautiful character.
There's only one leaderboard for Qingfengyi; the ugliest rating also has the highest score, and the most beautiful rating also has the highest score. With both sets of data leaked, many casual players who don't play Qingfengyi or are waiting for a chance to play are confused.
"Is there something wrong with Qingfengyi's aesthetic sense?"
Why are the table headers so consistent, yet the content is so fragmented and disjointed?
"I'm confused, which one is true?"
"I heard there are two tracks: beauty and eccentricity. I don't know which one is beauty and which one is eccentric in this data."
"It's hard to tell which side is better; the one that looks good is definitely more beautiful."
"Hmm~ That's hard to say."
Many people recalled the recent "Sexiest Star" poll launched by Cloud Planet, the largest entertainment company. The results chosen by netizens were, well, completely unrelated, haha.
........
In addition, many players tend to vote for their own innovative outfits, while the response to wearing the official outfits directly is not very good.
After compiling the data, Zhang Zhongxia took it to Lin Shuying for feedback, "Boss, is the design of Qingfengyi not attractive enough to the players? Their voting results are quite different from what I predicted."
Some voted for the ugliest, some for the most beautiful, some for the original, and some firmly supported the official version. Currently, the player-created categories and region codes haven't been fully circulated among players, making the voting data a mess.
Lin Shuying glanced at the data table and thought it was alright.
"Players have their own unique decisions, so we don't need to worry about them as long as they don't affect the game's operation."
No matter how innovative or varied the combinations, the materials ultimately have to be purchased from the game store, so it's not a loss.
In the past, dress-up games often had official styling awards, which was understandable, since clothing components came with their own data and features.
However, Lin Shuying did not design any clothing attributes; it was all about the purest appearance and display. In the holographic era, players have more autonomy, so some changes are normal.
"You need to look at the overall combination of these tables, don't just use our pre-made sets. At least recently, the top ten were all created using official designs. Only when a large number of player-designed outfits are ranked at the top, and most of their elements and styles are very different from Qingfengyi, does it mean that Qingfengyi's design does not meet the needs of players and needs to be slightly changed."
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it."
After Zhang Zhongxia left, Lin Shuying looked at the compiled pictures and fell into deep thought. The colors that the players had spontaneously matched were all quite similar to the habits of the StarCraft spray suit.
Most people wore clothes in cool, gray, and black tones, with relatively few wearing bright colors.
There are more close-fitting and tight-fitting styles, while Qingfengyi designs have very few wide-sleeved and large-skirted styles.
These long-standing clothing habits are difficult to change, and cannot be forced to change. Everyone has the freedom to dress as they please, and as long as it does not affect others or disrupt public order, it should be tolerated.
Lin Shuying seems a bit upset about the color scheme choice. Does this mean that everyone's preferences will eventually converge on gray and cool colors?
But what she likes is a vibrant, all-encompassing, and magnificent color scheme. Gray and cool colors are also nice, but they are not lively or vibrant enough.
"Sigh, I guess I'm getting old..."
Lin Shuying recalled accompanying her grandmother shopping once. The clothing stores for the elderly had many clothes with brightly colored flowers, each one so vibrant.
At that time, she had just entered university and couldn't quite appreciate such bright colors. But her grandmother kept pinching those clothes, her eyes filled with the desire to buy them.
She said if I like it, I should buy it. My grandmother said it's not appropriate for an old woman to wear something so flashy.
Lin Shuying doesn't think there's anything wrong with it; she just likes it.
Looking back, I think that fondness was probably a fondness for things that are vibrant, lively, and bustling...
lively?
It seems to be quite friendly to interstellar travel where social relationships aren't strong, hehe.
