Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 89

The reason is that their leader challenged an NPC named Guan Yu, but failed every time and was even beaten up. He lost his temper and decided to get back at him!

If we don't kill him, he'll quit this game!

Are there still monsters in the game that can't be farmed? If your combat power isn't enough, make up for it with sheer numbers; overwhelm them with sheer numbers.

So they called over a hundred brothers from the pavilion to come over and surround Guan Yu's house, starting to demolish it with cash withdrawal tokens and smash it with siege engines.

Players have experimented with this gameplay countless times with the Four Guardians, and the process is very well-established. However, the official statement clearly states that the Four Guardians, Qingfengyi, are invincible NPCs, unlike the ones in front of us.

If you can enjoy challenging the invincible, why be arrogant about the victorious?

Absolutely not!

Guan Yu emerged wielding his Green Dragon Crescent Blade, and they charged forward, also armed with the same weapon.

Being fought one-on-one by hundreds of people, Guan Yu, the God of War, was initially overwhelmed. However, he didn't falter and could still hold on. As long as he pulled away a few players, he could gradually reduce their numbers and continue fighting.

Did this pavilion master not consider this issue?

He had prepared many replacements, and newcomers would immediately fill the vacancies left by those who died. This shows how determined he was to wear Guan Yu down through a war of attrition.

The siege engines and crossbows beside them were not idle either, firing and throwing wildly, and tripwires would appear from time to time, pulling and twisting indiscriminately regardless of whether they were friend or foe.

Players attacking from a distance don't care that their teammates are harmed, since they'll respawn in three hours anyway.

With a constant stream of substitutes coming in, it's a numbers game.

Players are practically invincible, okay?

Guan Yu was beaten by them for an hour, and in the end, he was covered in arrows, surrounded by stones and weapons that had fallen after he was hit.

He leaned against his longsword, roaring as he died: "You villains! To bully the weak with numbers is not the act of a gentleman! Today I die at your hands, and I am not at peace with it!"

The players watched him; he hadn't fallen. One player cautiously approached, and then a powerful, ink-wash style death effect notification appeared above Guan Yu's head.

He's really dead!

"My mech commander-in-chief, after more than an hour of fierce fighting, this NPC is too powerful."

"Even in death, he didn't fall down. I admire you. Master, what's next?"

The leader, riding his giant black tiger, said, "Wait for it to respawn, then keep fighting!"

"I'm not going back until I've crushed him at least ten times today. I'll wear him down!"

"This NPC is too brave, he can withstand so many hits, amazing."

“I used more than two hundred arrows, Master, it’s no wonder you lost to him.”

"I don't care, I won't stop until I'm satisfied with my killing!"

.......

This group of people violated both of the bottom lines set by Lin Shuying, which is very rare for such extreme conditions to be violated simultaneously.

As expected of a gamer, there are no game boundaries that are too difficult to defend against, and no game boundaries that one is too afraid to cross.

Unless there's no way to play it that way, or they can find a way to play it that way even if they can't play it that way?

Half an hour later, the house in front of them did not change, but instead, the sound of orderly hoofbeats came from behind. Guan Yu, wearing majestic armor, rode a tall horse and led a group of soldiers to the place.

A burly, dark-faced man pointed a long spear at the sect leader, shouting, "You're the one who injured my second brother! Prepare to die!"

With that, he spurred his horse forward and killed the pavilion master with a single spear thrust.

Then the soldiers behind them charged forward, quickly cutting through the group of players.

These players will respawn anywhere in the instance after they die; they will not die and return to their home base.

At this point, a prompt box appears:

You are considered a red name by NPCs, so please proceed with caution.

Then, many NPCs, some who had appeared in previous events and some who hadn't, started hunting down the players, including Dark Night Assassin, Jade-Faced Gentleman, One-Armed Hero, Bloodthirsty Ancestor, Thousand-Mile White Phoenix, Flower Night Thief...

Even their names don't sound like those of kind people; they start fighting without saying a word when they see these players.

Until they were tortured until they got home.

A skilled player can withstand two hits, but most players are defeated in one.

If you encounter hidden weapons or poison, you won't know where the enemy is, and you'll die as soon as the weapon appears.

"Kid! There's a code of honor in the martial world. Show some martial ethics. If you do it again, I'll kill you without mercy!"

The player receives this message upon death.

This incident escalated to the chat channel, driving a group of fighting players into a frenzy. They all learned techniques to gang up on gray-named NPCs.

Only gray-named NPCs can be challenged. If a white-named NPC dares to mess with the Four Guardians, he'll teach you just how happy it is to be a lucky person.

Especially those from the side of the Slaughter Ancestor and the Grand Marshal, wanted to see which other powerful wandering knights there were and wanted to record all their skills.

For a time, the challenge gameplay became a hit across the game. Many casual players took cameras and followed behind combat players to film exciting scenes. Some expert players even fought against skilled players, and the scenes were really cool!

There was a back-and-forth exchange, a flurry of swordplay, and a series of swift movements, leaps, and bounds.

These kinds of videos went viral instantly when posted on Weibo!

The feeling of every punch landing on flesh and every kick hitting a vital spot is painful to hear about and very exciting to watch.

Most players are beaten, but the more they are beaten, the more addicted they become.

He was cursing and swearing as he charged forward recklessly.

Several players can defeat some of the Rangers. These NPCs who appear after crossing the line are called Rangers, and they specifically seek out players who lack martial ethics to challenge.

These rangers are very similar to these players; they become more courageous when they lose and are very arrogant when they win.

Moreover, you can't go back unless you're killed by them three times; you'll only respawn in the instance and experience the thrill and excitement of being chased.

This feature is quite popular with players because it saves them six hours of death penalty – what a bargain!

Forehead........

The two sides fought fiercely, at one point taking the combat aspect of the casual game to a level that surpassed the dress-up aspect.

The excitement was so great that players forgot about the event update.

As the snow fell heavily, were the players in the midst of battle still a little stunned?

I glanced at the time; it was 11 p.m., still early. Time to keep fighting.

Until one player asked in the chat channel, "Has everyone forgotten something very important?"

"Nonsense, what could Qingfengyi possibly forget?"

"Event update! Hey there!"

"!!!!!!"

"!!!!!!"

"My great mech commander, today is the seventh event, I almost forgot!"

"Brothers, come back quickly! Stop fighting! The snow might be a sign that the event is about to be updated!"

"I can't go back. I can't go back unless the NPCs kill me."

Players targeted by the Ranger cannot leave the instance unless they are killed.

Lin Shuying's premise is that since you guys disregarded martial ethics and killed my hero, you must also be killed three times.

"Idiot, just stand there and let him kill you."

"That won't do, dying like that is too humiliating!"

A player's dignity cannot be trampled on by an NPC. Even if it means death, players should fight to the death with honor!

"Forehead......."

"Brother, you can have fun all you want, I'm going first."

Nothing is more anticipated than the envelope special effects; even the most frustrating experience can't compare.

Many teams that were evenly matched with the Rangers in dungeons were quickly dismantled by the Rangers because some of their teammates gave up.

Not only did they kill them, but some of the wandering knights would also say some very infuriating things.

"Tsk tsk, a bunch of noobs dare to challenge me. They only managed to win by a half-move with underhanded tactics. They're not worthy of being called a hero!"

"Oh, young master, you're already lying down? This lady wasn't quite done yet~"

"Make your move! I don't fight those who are unarmed, offer no resistance, and are only looking for death!"

The latter two types are the worst. One doesn't give you a decisive answer and just plays around with you, making you so angry you want to kill yourself.

But self-inflicted wounds don't count, and you still revive in the dungeon without it counting as a death. Can you believe it?

The last one is even more speechless. You let him win, he lets him win; you don't fight, he doesn't fight; he can even control you to prevent you from running into his sword.

It's infuriating; skilled players are helpless, while less skilled players are alright, they just die quickly.

"Aaaaaah, someone stab me! I can't take it anymore. This NPC is so evil."

"Waaaaah, me too! She was just teasing me, I can't take it anymore!!! She's very pretty, but I don't want to admire her right now, I'm in a hurry to go home, waaaaah."

"I'm here, brothers and sisters, report your coordinates."

Players in one area started helping each other and fighting with NPCs; whoever was accidentally injured won.

Of course, if both NPCs have a really wicked sense of humor, then there's no way around it, the angst will be doubled.

This is a choice made by the players themselves, and it has nothing to do with how bad the game is. As long as they don't cross the line or play pranks, the NPCs won't make things difficult for them.

One hour later, at twelve o'clock.

The game has started updating.

This time, instead of concentrating players in guilds, fireworks were set off throughout the entire game world, everywhere.

'Qiubang! '

The first firework exploded into the sky, a huge, dazzling ball of fireworks crackling and popping, accompanied by the distinctive smell of gunpowder.

Then fireworks began to explode one after another.

The trees near the activities and bird-walking lawn on Zhilan Mountain have begun to change, with red lanterns, Chinese knots, small flower lanterns, prayer ribbons, and large red talismans gradually appearing on them.

The trees were covered in snow, and the sound of falling snow was very soft.

At night, the view was blurry, with fluffy particles flying around under the fireworks, but the fireworks were truly beautiful.

Imprinted on the snow, the snow itself becomes colorful.

Then a Kongming lantern appeared and slowly floated into the player's hand, with a letter hanging on it.

Open it, and the background is a picture of red plum blossoms in the snow.

Dear players, the seventh phase of the "Qingfengyi" event, "Decorated with Lanterns and Bright Red Attire," has officially begun and will last for one month. Hurry up and stock up on holiday supplies! This winter, let's have some fun and experience the joy of shopping during festivals thousands of years ago in China!

The event is designed to be a relaxed, joyful, happy, and prosperous activity that includes decorating your home and entertaining family and friends.

You can buy a plate of pastries, peanuts, and other snacks, sit under the eaves watching the snow fall, smell the subtle fragrance of plum blossoms, and enjoy a peaceful moment. You can also buy various things to decorate your home, preparing to welcome the God of Cookery and the Kitchen God. You can also go out to eat, drink, stroll, and play in the streets. You can invite family or friends to drink and sing, praising the moon and plum blossoms. You can also take photos with your loved one, play in the snow, and enjoy the scenery...
