Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 319 The Beginning and End of Fate, Endless Stories of Prosperity and Sorrow Across Generatio

The original owner's mother said, "We will do our best to be good to you, hoping that if our daughter goes to your world, your parents will also do their best to be good to her."

He almost used all his strength to say this, because the Lin Shuying who came to interstellar space was alive, but it was uncertain whether the Lin Shuying who was replaced had gone there, and whether she was alive or dead...

They couldn't even keep this daughter, because she would soon be gone too. Her soul might not be her daughter's, but her body was!

When you leave, you really leave...

Lin Shuying felt even more guilty upon thinking about this, and hugged the original owner's mother, choking back tears, saying, "Mom... my parents are very good people, they will love your daughter just as much as you do."

A heartfelt cry from a mother—that's probably one of the lucky things about coming here, besides the refreshing breeze.

The original owner's mother responded several times while crying, for entrusting her hopes was a kind of comfort and hope, a fleeting hope.

.........

The heart-to-heart talk seemed to have worked; a sense of oppression emanating from Lin Shuying disappeared. She seemed much lighter, and her production speed increased.

At the same time, he didn't neglect the embroidery he had been doing.

Time seemed to be running out, and Lin Shuying felt a mixture of anticipation and fear. She was anticipating the possibility that if this side disappeared, everything would return to normal; she was afraid of death and the unknown—who could not be afraid of the unknown and death?

There's one more regret: what if I can't finish doing everything I've planned before I leave...?

There are still fewer regrets, hehe.

This event will officially launch the Xianxia (fantasy martial arts) branch, and also update the life management gameplay. The map is bigger, with a brand new large map and a brand new Jianghu (martial arts world)!

During their two-month break, players relentlessly farmed life management items, obtaining numerous items that sharpened the weapons of combat players, provided more materials for crafting players, increased the silver coins for fashion players, and boosted the inspiration for rural players...

Of course, saving money is the top priority; we need to prepare enough funds for the next exciting event.

Gold ingots probably can't buy rare, discontinued items, but they can still buy some that aren't discontinued, including some items with high drop rates. Many players would rather earn money than do quests to get items, but they can't live without items.

Everyone's sense of smell was incredibly sharp; the quest logs at the notice board were almost overflowing. The queues at the Underworld quest logs were even more outrageous, reportedly stretching from the gates of Yama's Palace all the way to the Yellow Springs Road. Everyone was either searching for the path to reincarnation or on their way to find a soul. It's said that the soul-guiding quests were incredibly popular, not because there were too many people, but because there weren't enough NPC souls. Even adding in the number of souls accidentally injured by combat players wasn't enough. After all, there are billions, if not hundreds of millions, of players guiding souls, and according to player calculations, there are 300 million NPCs, including 1,753 special NPCs.

However, the number of NPCs has been steadily increasing, with each update adding a significant amount. The soul of China is vast, passed down through generations for thousands of years, seemingly endless.

One of the less flexible aspects of the mission is the lack of trading. If trading were possible...

It doesn't seem worth it?

Since the limit for farming gold ingots is 10,000 gold ingots, if countless top players farm tens of thousands of gold ingots for a single task, what are ordinary players supposed to do?

However, it's incredibly worthwhile for players who farm rare materials. Many materials are very difficult to obtain from treasure chests, especially for players with bad luck. If they don't get them, they really won't get them!

The task is simple: guide the souls of the dead to the Red Spider Lily, and then ask for a reward.

The resulting chaos is terrible. Many NPCs don't have enough Golden Lantern Flowers, and their accumulated blessings are pitifully small, far from enough to pay the rewards demanded by players. However, they can provide the rewards demanded if the NPC's ability limit is within 300% of its maximum.

This setting is incredibly intriguing. Humans can become demons for 300% profit, disregarding all humanity and morality. If the lower limit is 300%, NPCs will thrive, even if the player doesn't ask for any reward; the good fortune of the other shore flower will benefit that person. With a higher limit of 300%, it's hard to say what NPCs will do.

Many people even steal players' wallets; it's just that bizarre.

Except for rare items in the player's inventory and items with a reward of over 300% from this NPC, everything else in the player's inventory can be stolen. As the saying goes, if a player demands an excessive reward, they must bear the consequences.

Everyone quickly noticed that the environment of the Chinese martial arts world had suddenly deteriorated, with thieves, bandits, and robbers becoming visibly more prevalent. Most outrageous of all, these NPCs were able to sell the stolen goods...

At first, people didn't understand why this was happening and thought it was part of the game's design, until a data-driven player released the data.

"Family members, the environment in the Chinese martial arts world has been extremely hostile lately. I've conducted some social research, and here are the data and pictures."

"Yeah, I don't know what the designer was thinking, creating such a terrible game. Are they making us miss the days when human quality hadn't improved?"

"I think it's about school collaboration, which gives students who conduct social research materials to study, so they don't end up with abstract ideas like before."

"That makes sense. The children's palace next door is a gathering place for students."

The player who posted the picture quickly brought everyone back to reality, saying, "Look at the picture, look at the picture! This wasn't designed by the designer, no, it was designed by the designer, but it was triggered by the player."

After being reminded, everyone checked the image data and discovered that the player was excessively demanding rewards from the NPC. As long as it was within the 300% limit, the NPC would try every means to do it. If the player gave enough Dragon Claw Flowers, the NPC would be capable of doing it, but the player was lazy and only gave a token amount, so the NPC couldn't complete the task normally and had to resort to crooked methods.

However, the mechanism that protects white-name players and friendly NPCs prevents them from stealing from these people, so combat players and players who demand excessive rewards are targeted.

Yes, players who demand excessive rewards are also at risk of being stolen from or robbed.

Many players were stunned after seeing it; they couldn't believe such a design existed!

Lin Shuying wanted to say that she had only set a bottom line for her game world; breaking that line would unleash demons. She hadn't even considered that players would cross that line, given the 300% profit involved. She knew that when asking an NPC for rewards, the system gave a hint about the maximum reward the NPC could offer. That maximum exceeded her capabilities by 50%, which was extremely high.

After guiding NPCs through several lifetimes, they'll have everything they could want; there's really no need to be lazy. If you're too lazy to search for souls, just find a lot of spider lilies and give them to the NPCs so they can be reborn into wealthy and powerful families and have everything they need.

If the requested reward exceeds the agreed amount, a message indicating that the request has failed will be displayed.

Four locks!

It still opened up a demon world for the players....

These aren't important; those are the problems that players need to worry about. Everything that needed protecting has been protected; the rest...

Those who crave war will be burdened by it, while those who seek peace will be protected by it.

Those who turn to evil should be surrounded by malice, while those who turn to good should be blessed with kindness.

This is the true goodness of humanity, the righteous path for humankind.
