Chapter 163
Others are reluctant to wear the discontinued items, so they spend money to buy the ones from the mall.
He couldn't bear to part with the gold ingots, so he wore the discontinued edition...
The purpose of buying this sword is to enhance combat power.
Yes, as a player who is single-mindedly focused on making big money, how can you fight monsters without combat power, and how can you make money without fighting monsters!
After the Guardian Immortal was added to the party, he discovered that his combat power was too low to defeat the Evil Immortal, and he needed a powerful weapon. The Guardian Immortal is definitely a healer, and a decent single-target healer at that.
Because he is a lone wolf.
I fell in love with Sister Xunmei's sword at first sight.
Before trading with him, Sister Xunmei said, "This can't be activated right now; you need 10,000 mana to activate it. Are you still buying it?"
The player laughed and said, "I'll buy it."
His first skill, the Yellow Immortal, heals a single target for 1-100% health, with a cooldown of 10 seconds to 30 minutes. His second skill instantly increases the target's mana by 100 times for 5 seconds.
Is it exciting or not?
If he can come up with the idea of opening up the gameplay that Qingfengyi hasn't yet implemented, then he'll be an unstoppable god!
Then farm resources to continue upgrading the guardian spirit. He'll get ahead of everyone else, and gold ingots will come pouring in, hehe.
Strategic resource investment is an essential part of consumption.
Over there, the Academy of Sciences is waiting for the player to trigger the second super powerful NPC, intending to test how much the peak human mental capacity fluctuates under such combat conditions.
That is, the Grand Marshal, so we created conditions for him to fight alone.
They waited until the end of the event but still didn't receive anything. In the last three or four days, they couldn't wait any longer and finally contacted the game platform. They rarely contact the summoners; they simply observe their development from behind the scenes, preventing major families and planets from monopolizing them when necessary.
The game platform said that this test only took place once, and there were no other tests.
The Academy of Sciences immediately sent them to communicate, hoping that Lin Shuying could perform again.
Lin Shuying wasn't opposed to the idea when she received the message. Taking the test a couple more times would be beneficial for her. However, Qingfengyi wouldn't cover any expenses for this test.
Testing is costly and requires paying the game platform a significant amount of money.
The Academy of Sciences was surprised that such a wealthy company was so stingy with hundreds of thousands of yuan. Lin Qiaoqiao said that of course she didn't care if it wasn't her own money.
Are hundreds of thousands no longer considered money?
Many people work hard all year but still can't save hundreds of thousands!
The Academy of Sciences had no choice but to bear the cost of this test and will conduct another one.
The player excitedly triggered the second Foundation Establishment stage guardian spirit, but this one's storyline wasn't suitable for combat.
A player named Wishing Matchmaker saw a very beautiful white fox on a grassland. This fox was magical; it had two tails. The way it swung them was incredibly cute, and she was immediately captivated. She took out all sorts of delicious food and spiritual herbs to give to it.
"My little darling, are you a guardian spirit? I want you to come home with me, okay?"
It's already late game, and there are still players without a guardian spirit. They're quite unusual. When Lin Shuying played this fox, she really didn't expect there to be players without a guardian spirit...
Then the fox was lured away by this player, a Foundation Establishment stage guardian spirit, who was incredibly cool and domineering. Back home, she transformed into a stunning beauty.
She wore a crimson gauze dress over a white robe with pale yellow trim, and a wide belt with a nine-tailed fox motif around her waist. Hanging from the belt was a white jade pendant carved with a nine-tailed fox, with bright blue tassels below.
There were also jade pendants, the pendants shaped like interlocking auspicious clouds. They reached down to the knees and swayed with the hem of the skirt as she walked.
She also wore an emerald lotus-shaped necklace around her waist, with nine ruby tassels at the bottom.
Her hair was styled with a fuzzy white headband with a red outer layer. A large phoenix hairpin was inserted into her hair. On both sides were tassels and floral ornaments, along with hair ornaments shaped like gold locks, each with a fine sapphire in the center and surrounded by pearls.
What's most captivating is the fox spirit's makeup: heavy red-orange eyeshadow, blush, bright red lips, and a flame flower on her forehead.
She wore a white shawl and a gold bracelet inlaid with various precious stones on her wrist. The bracelet was very wide, a full five centimeters wide.
She had no shoes on her feet, but a silver anklet strung with rubies and bells.
very nice.
Players who wish for the Matchmaker really love it, they absolutely love it.
This guardian spirit is an alchemist who can make pills from various spiritual herbs, pills that can restore magical power. Currently, this guardian spirit can make a spiritual energy restoration pill, requiring five spiritual herbs to make one hundred pills.
This was made based on player demand; otherwise, using a single pill would be too wasteful.
After the alchemy skill was posted on the world channel, many players donated their own spiritual herbs, only needing to receive 50% of the herbs for alchemy. The "Wishing Matchmaker" was overjoyed, releasing all 50% of the pills he received, and gold ingots poured into his account.
Her good fortune and unusual actions shattered the scientists' and Lin Shuying's initial plans; this little fox had a very bad temper. If the player didn't offer her any benefits at the beginning and instead forced her to follow, she would go berserk, feeling that the player was defiling her.
Most players, upon seeing such an adorable fox, would definitely ask if it wants to come home with them.
Last time, the powerful Willow Fairy was killed, and the items dropped by Sister Xunmei made many players envious. Everyone said that if you encounter a guardian spirit, fight it first. Kill the powerful ones, and only consider strategies if they are not powerful.
In addition, Lin Shuying also checked the backend data and found that 99.99% of players have a guardian spirit.
But things just happened to be so coincidental. Qingfengyi, the only player who hadn't tried to romance the Guardian Spirit, encountered the Foundation Establishment Guardian Spirit that she had put up for sale and successfully won it over.
There's no other way; we have to resort to underhanded tactics this time.
Lin Shuying said to the people at the Academy of Sciences, "I will build a challenge tower. You can put the people you want to challenge in it. I will give the foundation level the permissions to enter and challenge. Let me make it clear beforehand that no items will be lost."
The people at the Academy of Sciences knew they had put Lin Shuying in a difficult position, but they were touched by her cooperation and said they would share some of their technology to support holographic games, such as making Aimore's servers more advanced.
Lin Shuying laughed and said, "The benefits you're transferring to the game platform are for others, so you can't use the benefits others receive as my reward. If you really want to give benefits, why not order our products?"
When it comes to products, Lin Qiaoqiao immediately launched them online.
Currently, Qingfengyi collaborates with many partners, but these partners are concentrated on Planet Aimore, and at most, their influence extends to a few first-class stars that guide Qingfengyi's game.
Because the number of slots for the top-tier game is too limited—hundreds of millions compared to ten billion—the ratio is too low, and many people are unaware of Qingfengyi. Barbie Fashion, on the other hand, has spread extremely quickly through its fragmented marketing and management. Currently, its player base far exceeds that of Wuyuan Qimeng, with nearly 30 billion players across all its sub-servers.
However, Barbie Fashion is quite different from Qingfengyi; it's not an open-world game, but a browser game.
Now they're also learning from Qingfengyi and interstellar combat games to create open-world games, because open-world games are so popular.
Including their player base and playtime, the area they could gain would be seven or eight times larger than the expanded and shrunk version of the Qingfengyi map. Not wanting to waste it, they created an exceptionally impressive open-world experience.
Inside, there are all sorts of tall buildings and bustling traffic. There's a shopping mall filled with fashionable Barbie clothes.
You can also build houses, buy houses, furniture, and so on. There are many different villa styles among the skins sold, with three floors, outdoor swimming pools, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a large party room, etc.
It's a favorite among many wealthy people.
.......
As promised, the Sky Tower was updated the day before the event ended.
The Tower of Heaven has countless levels, each with numerous monsters and NPCs to challenge. This time, the power ranking will be based on the progress of your Tower of Heaven challenge.
The requirements for challenging the Heavenly Tower are simple: just contribute five hundred osmanthus flowers or spiritual herbs.
Osmanthus flowers are an important item and one of the themes of this event, and players have collected quite a few.
The Grand Marshal knew that the Sky Tower was prepared for him. He had received inside information long ago that the Sky Tower was being updated, and rushed in before the players even noticed.
This time, for the sake of prestige, the military used personal connections to ask the Aimore gaming platform to remove the Grand Marshal's nickname and simply say that he was the one making the challenge. There was also a live stream where the Grand Marshal had a calico cat's head and was holding a heavy hammer.
Viewers exclaimed, "My great marshal, how am I supposed to view your authority from now on?"
"I inexplicably love the Grand Marshal even more now that he has such an adorable head!"
"Don't speak, the Grand Marshal is about to take on the challenge. Let's see the ceiling of human brainpower."
The Grand Marshal started his challenge from the first level and continued until he reached the fifth level.
The difficulty increased, and the brainpower test scores soared, quickly surpassing the record that Sister Xunmei had broken a few days earlier.
Scientists stared in astonishment at the red bars on the chart, exclaiming, "So this is the ceiling of human brainpower?"
"Very strong."
"However, he has declined compared to the previous Grand Marshal. This cannot continue. If one day the Grand Marshal loses control of the Doomsday Mech, the Zerg will definitely dare to make a comeback."
"Sigh, let the Interstellar Alliance introduce policies to increase rewards for mech competitions and encourage participation in holographic mechs. Lower the entry barrier so more people can get involved..."
One scientist said, "It's not a matter of participation or not, but rather that a peaceful environment makes people complacent, there aren't enough stimuli, and mental capacity keeps declining..."
While they were discussing this, the Grand Marshal had already been knocked out by that Foundation Establishment cultivator.
The Foundation Establishment NPC was indeed formidable; this time, he was wielding dual swords, and his attack could cleave the Grand Marshal's hammer in two. He rolled to dodge, managing to survive by using a pillar to block the damage.
But without weapons, it's better to die empty-handed than to go back and prepare some hammers.
As the strongest man in the entire galaxy, I must crush this monster.
They went down and prepared two hundred hammers.
Upon returning to this floor, a fox spirit wielding twin swords swung a hammer, switching to one sword for every one he struck.
It was hammered down only after the event ended, and no items dropped.
Lin Shuying wasn't reluctant to part with these items; they would be low-level items in the mid-to-late game. She simply didn't want to disrupt the game's balance and the progression of the ladder system.
In my past life, a friend who was addicted to games shared his thoughts on games.
Many games don't last, especially those with a Chinese theme. They tend to go to extremes. For example, they might start off very well, with plenty of content for players. But later, players don't know what to do, and the game becomes about fashion, decoration, and inflated stats.
