Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 22

No, it's because she lost her husband when she first married and inherited his property, hehe.

How can you not have a black cheongsam? Oh my god!

A beautiful and alluring woman wore a black silk cheongsam that perfectly showcased her figure. The cheongsam was embroidered with white roses, and the sleeves and hem were trimmed with black lace, subtly revealing a hint of her unruly nature. A large black hat adorned her head, its cascading black lace obscuring half of her sorrowful face. Her gaze was vacant, fixed on the distance where a clump of reeds met the lake…

A handsome man in a well-tailored suit approached, holding a black umbrella. His voice, deep and captivating, was gentle as he said, "Madam, it's raining. Let's go back."

Having said that, he extended his hand, which was covered in white gloves. The beauty hesitated for a moment before raising her hand and placing it on his.

The white clutch's chain was loose, hanging down and swaying back and forth...

The alarm in the holographic chamber went off, and Lin Shuying sat up abruptly.

"Oh my god, that was when I was most engrossed in the idea!"

There's no other way; good health is the most important thing.

Go outside for a bit of exercise and drink a vial of nutritional supplement.

Liang Ranran: "Boss, you're up?"

Lin Shuying answered somewhat shyly, "Mm."

I went to see her wrapping flower petals; recently, she's almost finished wrapping the petals with gold thread. Lin Shuying is very busy and doesn't have time to assemble them, so I had her learn how to wrap flowers.

This is a time-consuming task; it requires meticulous attention to detail.

The other people would also come over and work together when they had free time.

Liang Ranran did a good job. "You pulled the thread too hard, the thread marks are too obvious, and the edges of the petals are damaged. This won't do. The essence of wrapping flowers is to have no thread marks, a smooth surface, and a smooth shimmer under the light. Look at this one I wrapped."

As she spoke, she picked up the camellia she had previously used as a demonstration, and examined it against the light. The surface was smooth and glossy, without any blockages. Then she picked up the petals Liang Ranran had bound; the lines were visible to the naked eye, let alone under the light.

Liang Ranran said shyly, "When I was wrapping the thread, it kept slipping. I thought it would be better if I used more force."

Lin Shuying picked up a petal and said, "You have to apply the right amount of pressure. If you apply too much or too little, the lines will slip. Just the right amount will result in evenly distributed lines without slipping."

She wrapped the thread around her wrist twice to secure it, then quickly twisted it around, smoothing out the twisted thread as she pulled her hand down. In about a minute, one petal was finished.

"look."

Liang Ranran was full of admiration, "Boss, you're so fast!"

Lin Shuying laughed and said, "In this line of work, speed is everything."

In my past life, when I was a hairpin maker, I was incredibly skilled at curling hairpins. One shop would charge eighty for a single curled flower, another would dare to offer fifty, one would give thirty, and the neighbor would give nineteen!

At such low prices, the cost is almost the same as the cost of materials. How do they make a profit?

The goal is to achieve high sales volume with low profit margins.

However, these items are all handmade, so it's impossible to make a small profit by selling in large quantities.

So everyone started competing on speed. One hairpin maker could make a complicated hairpin in half an hour, another would challenge herself to make one in twenty minutes, and yet another would challenge herself to make one in ten minutes!

For a complete beginner, let alone half an hour, it would be quite an achievement to finish one piece in three hours.

Thinking about it now, it's a story full of bitter tears. To survive, you have to desperately speed up your hand movements.

Later, when my hand speed couldn't keep up with the rolling speed, I started rolling materials. When I couldn't roll the materials anymore, I started rolling the rework...

Liang Ranran stared blankly at Lin Shuying, who ruffled her short hair and said, "Keep it up. If you get tired of tying flowers, you can play with the sewing machine. You know where the embroidery patterns are. I'll be busy with the game for a while."

Several employees got excited when they heard about the game, and Lin Qiaoqiao asked excitedly, "Boss, is there going to be an update?"

Lin Shuying: "It's not finished yet. The content is a bit complicated this time, so it will probably take a few days."

We're waiting for you!

Ahhhh, the game is finally getting an update!

Lin Shuying is funny; after resting, she'll go back to playing her lame games.

Oh my god, I just had this inspiration and I feel so uncomfortable not to use it.

Continuing from the previous concept, the widowed wife part was conceived, but the later part was not clear enough and needs to be strengthened.

Let's link the fifth set to this lady too, the later settings are really interesting.

After the handsome butler brought his wife home, she decided to change out of her rain-soaked black clothes. She took out a white cheongsam with yellow stripes and asked the butler with a smile, "Is this appropriate for me?"

The butler said respectfully, "It's in accordance with regulations, white."

The lady covered her mouth and laughed, the pair of pink pearl earrings on her ears dazzling the eye. Coupled with her silvery laughter, for a moment one might have thought the pearl earrings were laughing...

The sixth outfit was a sapphire blue cheongsam, sleeveless, with a red five-petaled lilac flower on the chest, entirely inlaid with small rubies. A necklace of top-quality round pearls wrapped around it three times.

She wore a carved gold bracelet on her wrist, decorated with dragons and phoenixes playing in a floral display.

She wore a pair of large diamond earrings, surrounded by emerald green jade.

If it's too small, it won't look grand enough.

Her long, curly hair swayed as she walked.

The cheongsam was somewhat fitted, made of highly elastic velvet that reflected light and was incredibly soft to the touch. It even emitted a faint warmth from body heat.

Pair it with a long white wool scarf, made of lambswool.

Off-white high heels with red heels, as if the white had been stained with blood.

A large fan made of peacock feathers, which, when opened, can cover the entire face.

Six rings, in gold, sapphire, ruby, agate, lake green jade, and emerald.

The high collar of the cheongsam was fastened with golden auspicious cloud-shaped buttons all the way to the armpits. The gold stood out particularly against the blue cheongsam.

What kind of menswear should I pair this with?

Lin Shuying fell into deep thought, feeling that if she wasn't assertive enough, she wouldn't be able to command respect; if she was too assertive, it would be overwhelming...

Finally, I envisioned him in a white suit, a white hat, gold-rimmed glasses, and holding a cane. His gleaming white leather shoes would click-clack like he'd be in high heels.

Lin Shuying's mind raced through the story, and the beautiful woman swayed as she finished singing a song.

Afterwards, countless wealthy men invited him to drink. In a dark corner of the dance hall, a woman in a white suit sat calmly. She had declined other guests before coming here, opened her peacock fan to cover half her face, and laughed, "Oh, sir, can you hear my music from this corner?"

The man in the white suit stood up, first bowing politely, then taking the beauty's hand and gently kissing it. "You can't hear me here, but you can hear me well in my mansion. Someone, take this lady away."

Oh my god!

Imagine that commanding scene, a gentlemanly gentleness, a gentleness that commands respect. He's in control of the situation, yet caught in a constant struggle...

The seventh set features a gentle and refined noblewoman.

A pale yellow silk fabric paired with a white vest and a brown bag adorned with sparkling diamonds.

White high heels with an embroidered rose on them.

A round-top brown top hat, with loose, curly hair hanging down. Tiny, teardrop-shaped red agate earrings, barely visible at the tips of her ears.

She wore a pearl bracelet, white lace gloves, and a low-slit cheongsam, and walked with a swaying gait.

Since she's a daughter, she shouldn't be dressed in men's clothing.

Lin Shuying's image of wearing men's clothing disappeared from her mind.

The eighth outfit is dark green, with a slightly lighter green bamboo leaf pattern covering the surface. The bodice features openwork lace detailing with a dark blue cat's-eye stone. There is no necklace; the earrings are simple pearl studs.

Her hair was tied up with a bamboo hairpin.

The emerald ring on her hand is her wedding ring.

A beautiful woman sat by the window, drinking tea alone. In front of her, wisps of smoke curled from a bronze sika deer-shaped incense burner, swaying from side to side as she poured the tea.

Her hands are very white...

Lin Shuying happily designed the clothing and put it in the shop, only to find that the shop was a bit small and couldn't fit it all.

They expanded the garments a bit and fitted them onto the mannequins. Displayed in full regalia, they looked absolutely stunning.

He came out and said to Lin Qiaoqiao, "Qiaoqiao, the breeze is refreshing, send out the notification."

The employees were stunned. Had the boss suddenly remembered to inform the players about the update in advance?

"Ok."

Lin Shuying habitually updates her blog at night, so Lin Qiaoqiao didn't ask about the time, which everyone knows.

Qingfengyi, will you update tonight?

The player was overjoyed and cried tears of joy upon seeing the message.

"Waaaaah, at least the designer Qingfengyi has finally shown some humanity, actually announcing the game update in advance."

"Family, go to sleep. We're going to grind games like crazy tonight."

"Ahhh, I can finally wait for an envelope effect this time."

Lin Shuying stretched and breathed a sigh of relief.

I was so engrossed in designing this game that I actually worked on it until noon the next day.

Let's try out the timed update effect this time. If it works well, we can use timed updates next time. Previously, the large-scale flower-planting event was changed to several updates, which boosted the game's activity level, hehe.

This time she set a timer for one hour, which should give players some time to react.

Lin Qiaoqiao told her about the players' complaints, and she listened attentively.

For example, they could improve the handling of sudden updates; they should notify players before each update...

Lin Shuying believes she is the best game designer in the world. If you don't believe her, ask her about the games she played in her past life, especially the dress-up games!

Typical of someone who eats in a bad manner and refuses to listen to advice.

Just as players were happily taking a nap to prepare for the night's battles, Qingfengyi updated.

It happened so suddenly, unexpectedly, and without warning.

The player, busy planting flowers on the front lines, was bewildered when a giant tree suddenly appeared before him. Then, a great fire erupted, burning the tree into a letter that drifted down...

Xiaoyiju is also one of them.

This time, Lin Shuying's letter effects are only available in the Garden and Xiaoyi Residence. Xiaoyi Residence is the Dream Love Building, and the Garden is the large territory.

Players participating in the Xiaoyi Residence event also witnessed a massive fire that turned everything orange.

I woke up suddenly and quickly called my friend.

"Come quick, the breeze is refreshing!"

"I know there will be an update tonight."

"Update now! I didn't realize you were inviting me to your house! Hurry up!"

Soon, some players returned and captured the spectacular scene of the trees being burned.

A gigantic, golden sycamore tree suddenly bursts into flames, burns for three minutes, and then falls down as a letter.

Players are getting fed up!

"Designer, what kind of psychological trauma do you have to be so dark, my mecha grand marshal!"

"You promised to update tonight! You promised to update tonight!"

"Such a beautiful tree, what kind of mentality did the designer have to be willing to burn it to ashes and leave nothing behind?"

"Stop yelling, the clothes are new!"

"Ahhh, make sure you turn on the filming mode before touching the clothes, or you'll regret it!"

"Designer, I challenge you to a duel! A duel! I can't live anymore! Aaaaaah!"

"........"

"......"

"..."

For some reason, ellipses appeared frequently on the screen, leaving many new players looking bewildered.

Many of them were beginners who not only didn't understand it, but also missed the envelope effect.

"This designer is absolutely insane! The clothes even have special effects, but only once!!!"

"The clothing effect only happens once. Turn on the camera before entering the game. Turn on the camera before entering the game!!!"

"Important note: the clothing special effect only happens once."

"You should have said so sooner! Aaaaaaah!"

"I missed out on hundreds of millions."

"Now I know why it's a burning tree this time; it symbolizes my special effects video that disappeared before I could even see it clearly, sob sob~"

Finishing up, just woke up.

His assistant's phone kept ringing. He called back, "What's up?"

The assistant said tearfully, "Boss, you missed out on a fortune. The breeze has refreshed the spirit."

"What! Isn't it nighttime?"

"Waaaah, I missed it too, it was updated at 1 PM."

"I'll go take a look right away."

"Wait a minute, boss. Get ready before you go in. There are a lot of new clothes and jewelry this time. Touching them will trigger special effects, but the effects only happen once. Be prepared. There are eight special effects in total. Players have already filmed all of them. If we want to stand out, we need to think about the angles and stuff."

I got a little nervous after saying that, and I didn't even dare to enter the game after finishing up.

The first person to complete the entire video was, of course, the wealthy blogger Sister Xunmei. Her video was very complete, but the streamer herself didn't perform very well.

She was diligently planting flowers when she was startled by the sudden appearance of a large tree in front of her. After regaining her senses, she quickly adjusted the camera angle.

Indeed, it's great to shoot anytime, anywhere, so you don't miss a single frame or scene.

Open the letter:

Dear players, today is another beautiful day.

This update is part of the "Soft-spoken Beauty" series, featuring eight cheongsam sets. Feel free to purchase!

The pursuit of beauty is Qingfengyi's eternal goal. Please look forward to the next update. Thank you for your support.

Very brief.

Sister Xunmei glanced at the copper coins in her backpack—a lot—along with the gold and silver she had recharged. Not knowing how much eight sets of clothes would cost, the tycoon recharged another 9998 interstellar coins before finally heading to the shop, constantly adjusting the camera angle along the way.

She was stunned when she saw the cheongsam on the model.

"This is so beautiful!"

The dress hugs her curves, the colors are vibrant, and it exudes a mysterious gentleness—elegant, dignified, sophisticated, sexy, and glamorous...

If we're talking about clothing in Chinese culture that represents sexiness, it has to be the cheongsam!

It truly showcases the woman's figure to its fullest extent.

Lin Shu-ying believes that sexiness is not about being naked, but about showcasing the curves of the body, being alluring, and possessing an air of elegance that is both concealed and subtly revealed – that is the ultimate form of sexiness.

The cheongsam truly embodies this concept exceptionally well.

It blends beauty, elegance, and charm in a harmonious way.

The first thing Sister Xunmei touched was the warlord's wife outfit. She stumbled and fell into an illusion, floating and watching the magnificent scene below.

The warlord stood in the magnificent living room, while a noblewoman in red slowly descended from upstairs.

"Sir, do I look good in this outfit?"

The warlord chuckled softly from his chest first, then said, "Madam looks good in anything."

As the beauty reached the last step, the warlord suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms, saying, "Come on, today I'll show you the world."

The beauty giggled, and the two embraced and left.

The scene shifts to a painting, depicting a domineering warlord with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, holding his hat in one hand and embracing his wife with the other, looking down at her with tender, watery eyes. The beautiful woman, with her captivating peach blossom eyes, looks up at him and smiles, her cheeks slightly flushed.
