Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 303

When the number '9' appeared, everyone knew it was a countdown.

This was the first time I'd ever seen a countdown like this, filling the entire sky with fireworks, the explosions crackling and popping, yet steadily forming a single number. The colors were brilliant and dazzling, the fireworks striving upwards as if trying to let the whole world see them.

The players on site immediately and spontaneously shouted along with the fireworks, their voices even louder than the explosions! The excitement, exhilaration, courage, and boiling blood in their chests were all stirred by the sound of the fireworks, almost breaking free from the shackles of their souls.

Not shouting out seems like a lifelong regret.

8、7、6、5、4、3、2、1！！

Each explosion grew louder than the last, and in the final second: a golden '1' stood upright in the air, surrounded by enormous red and purple firework balls that exploded. These firework balls were made up of tiny, star-like fireworks arranged to form a giant flower ball, the smaller ones twinkling like stars alongside the larger one.

The dazzling lights illuminated the entire sky, making the surrounding lanterns and buildings even more enchanting with a touch of fantasy.

'Boom! Bang! Bang! Bang!'

Immediately following, "Gentle Breeze," "Second Round," "Lantern Festival," and "Start!" appeared in quick succession. The ending of one line barely faded before the next one appeared. The sequence unfolded before the player's eyes like a race, with excellent pacing.

The players craned their necks, holding cameras, not daring to blink.

The sound was deafening, and the fireworks were spectacular. As the words appeared, a series of wheat-ear fireworks shot into the sky below, the golden wheat illuminating the surrounding space and making the red words even more conspicuous. Each ear of wheat rose upwards, surged forward, then bent down, swaying and disappearing.

Players seem to have truly witnessed the process of wheat growing, from sprouting to bending over, and it is at its most delightful and beautiful when it is golden and bowing.

The sound arrived late, a soft, sizzling sound, which was rather pleasant.

Players who get too close can't stand it in their ears, it's too loud!

It was like a gunshot in my ear, exciting and deafening. The fireworks were huge, I couldn't see them all, and a lot of the fireworks dust landed on me, burning my skin.

On the contrary, the distance to the midpoint is quite good, and it is completely clear and extremely beautiful.

"Ugh! Who told me that the closer you get, the better it looks? Waaaaah, my ears! My fireworks! Not a single one!!"

This was the sound of a player shouting at the top of their lungs. Although it gave the illusion that their throat was about to burst, the sound was still no match for the continuous explosions of fireworks.

A player very close by yelled back, "We've been tricked! Let's get out of here. It's so bad, we can't even see clearly."

Since it's fireworks in a game, the design didn't consider any safe distances or safe zones. The only warning upon entry is, "Fireworks are flammable and explosive; beware of fire." That's it. To create a free gaming environment and allow players to experience joys unattainable in reality, they can even sit on red embroidered balls and crawl inside the fireworks.

Of course, there are penalties for death or injury.

If you get injured, just go to the Jianghu in China to find wound medicine; if you die, you can only wait to be resurrected.

Players below the fireworks, hurry up and ascend to a slightly farther spot to watch; this place is really unsuitable. Little did they know, once they flew up, a single spark from the fireworks caused their health bars to plummet, and they were covered in burns.

This is the peak of the fireworks show, with bursts of fire shooting into the sky, peonies blooming in the garden, lions playing with stars, dandelions bursting into bloom, and symbols of promotion and wealth exploding... filling the sky with the colors of fireworks. Going inside at this time is not much different from going to a crematorium; it would be strange if you didn't get hurt.

That's not the point. The point is that it affected other players' viewing of the fireworks!

Who wouldn't be shocked if a dark figure suddenly appeared in what was supposed to be a perfect fireworks shot?

"Who! Who ruined my perfect scene!"

"Who! My video is now flawed? Who will compensate me for my perfection?! Aaaaah!"

"My mecha grand marshal, how long have I prepared for, how long have I looked forward to, how long have I been excited for the complete filming of the fireworks show? Who knows? Someone tell me, what exactly is that dark shadow in the footage!"

........

The complaints grew louder and louder.

Fireworks are fleeting, so taking photos requires speed and skill, especially since many people are trying to capture those perfect moments. Who knows if the beauty you miss will return? Nobody wants to gamble.

The good-natured players just complained, patiently waiting for the others to leave. The other players, however, were uncooperative, hesitating and getting up in waves. With so many people already, how long would it take for the flow to stop?

"Hey you guys up there! The best part of the fireworks show is almost over!"

Now, the fireworks are getting more and more brilliant, each one more beautiful than the last. We could have captured stunning moments and perfect videos, but then every now and then a few figures appear...

The one in the middle is fine; let's just call it a mysterious black shadow.

In the distance, you can see people's faces, as well as huge red embroidered balls, which are quite eye-catching.

This is a difficult point for an astronaut to describe. If Lin Shuying were to describe it, it would be like going to the most popular tourist attractions during a nice National Day holiday. You can't even find a place to take a picture; it's just people everywhere. There's no way you'll be the only one there.

It's so annoying!

At this moment, the interstellar people resonated with the travelers of that era.

Players with bad tempers won't tolerate this group, especially combat players. They were already a bit annoyed that they had given up their beloved combat fun to watch the fireworks show (annoyed that Qingfengyi keeps updating things unrelated to combat, while completely ignoring combat-related content), and now someone is even coming to pry this out.

A loudmouth pulled out a giant megaphone: "Combat players! Rise up! Slay those monkeys!"

Once the leader comes out, he immediately leads a massive army.

"Fighting gamers, rise up! Let this fireworks display be our anthem and a celebratory blaze!"

"Let's go, kill them! Who's going to film some amazing battle footage for us?!"

Then, the peaceful players tacitly stepped back, creating a two-meter-wide circle filled with hesitant players, occasionally flying out on their red embroidered balls. The combat players automatically stepped forward.

He pulled out a crossbow, a homemade box, a slingshot, a spear, a broadsword, and a sword. The metallic surfaces of the weapons reflected the colors of fireworks, and bursts of light on them added to the somber atmosphere.

Players rushing out from inside were also engaged in combat. They exchanged a glance, a tacit understanding that seemed impossible in a lifetime. Both sides wanted to fight, to atone for their lonely swords and spears. They'd spent countless days exploring the entire map of the martial arts world. Now, let's have a fair and square battle!

The players with white names inside realized they had done something wrong and quietly and awkwardly slipped away. Then, a real fight broke out, sparks flying, swords clashing, and the most primal human strength clashing. The scene was horrific. Fireworks flashed intermittently, like war drums.
