Chapter 215
Chapter 215
Thinking it over, the streamer became even more determined to give up his dream of accumulating gold ingots. Collecting resources was more practical; he'd continue gathering materials from the martial arts world, stockpile them, and wait for a certain battle event to sell them later, hehe.
The streamer's inbox was flooded with messages, all wanting to add him as a friend and check out the coral ornaments. Players weren't just sending private messages, they were also shouting in the world chat, all excited and envious.
The coral ornaments are absolutely gorgeous!
After two hours of renovation and adjustments, the beauty of the coral was further enhanced.
It was called a renovation, but it was actually just a simple adjustment of the arrangement of the ornaments to better highlight the beauty of the coral. The player who came to renovate had a very thorough understanding of Qingfengyi's style and was also very fond of it. The living room they designed was beautiful.
An oil lamp sits atop the coral; it's one of the official furniture items sold. Shaped like a flying bird, its beak serves as the wick and flame, while the wings are decorative, inlaid with shimmering emeralds. It has three legs; the ones chosen here are over a meter long, allowing it to stand upright. Shorter versions are also available, suitable for other locations.
Don't underestimate this small bronze bird lamp; it can instantly elevate the style of the entire room, making the overall ambiance understated, dignified, and luxurious, with a sense of understated elegance.
Large families especially like this style, as it makes the family tradition seem ancient and long-standing.
The host was very satisfied with the renovation results.
At this time, they also began to entertain guests. After they noticed the private message, they would definitely bring it to everyone for viewing. All they had to do was give each person fifty taels of silver.
Fifty taels of silver is nothing; they arrived instantly after the invitation.
When the tourists arrived, the designer was still there. One player asked the designer, "How did you come up with the idea of using bronze lamps to highlight the coral?"
The designer, Gao Shen, explained, “The announcement states that coral is a treasure formed by marine animals over thousands or even tens of millions of years. This Golden Crow lamp is a product of China over five thousand years ago, which is tens of millions of years ago. Both are relics of profound history, and I think they are a perfect match. The description says that the Golden Crow is a sun bird in Chinese mythology, constantly flying back and forth to illuminate the earth and bring light to the world. This is the first time I've seen this description; it's amazing. Such a weighty object paired with such a weighty treasure is very fitting.”
Visitors were shocked after hearing the story. They never expected that the designers at Qingfengyi had created such a perfect and magnificent background for such a small thing. After hearing these stories, players could hardly believe that this was a product of human history. It was truly amazing!
An elderly man who came to visit sighed deeply upon seeing everyone's bewildered expressions. He said earnestly, "The wisdom of our ancestors is beyond our imagination. Given the circumstances at the time, we could never have done as well as them. Sometimes we doubt that countless treasures could have been created in ancient times because they seem so incredible. This kind of thinking is based on modern perspectives and technology. We must understand that technological advancements mean a decrease in the difficulty of doing things, but the opposite of a decrease in difficulty is actually a decrease in skill and wisdom..."
The old man talked for a long time while looking at the golden crow lamp, and the audience seemed to have found a guide, crowding around to listen with great interest.
The Dragon Palace secret realm was discovered here, and soon after, someone else discovered the Peach Garden secret realm, where the huge, plump peaches stunned the team. This time, it wasn't just one person who went in, but a full team of sixteen.
The player who discovered the secret realm quickly formed a team with friends before entering, bringing in sixteen people.
Her discovery of the secret realm was even more fantastical. Because she loved peaches and peach blossoms, she made a peach blossom kite based on the kite in the secret realm.
Of course, that secret realm was just an inspiration for her; the peach blossom and peach kites she made were actually made of peach blossoms and peaches.
A giant pink peach flat kite, not particularly technically sophisticated; the skill lies entirely in the coloring. The peach looks so realistically painted it's almost mouthwatering. The surrounding peach blossoms are cut into peach shapes and pasted on.
After the kite is launched, a notification suddenly appears in front of you: Congratulations on triggering the Peach Garden Secret Realm. Do you want to enter now? The countdown to the secret realm disappearing is 04:59 seconds.
Player 'I am a Peach Blossom Fanatic' was stunned for a long time before remembering, and was so excited he felt like he could fly.
She jumped around on the spot for a while, repeatedly saying, "Thank you, designer! Thank you, Qingfengyi! Thank you, Grand Marshal of the Mechs! Thank you, Interstellar! Ahhhhhh!"
Triggering the secret realm is very difficult; the event has been running for almost a month and only a few have been triggered, but she actually triggered it!
Everyone in the team turned on their live stream first, very conscientiously, without needing any prompting from other players. After turning it on, 'I am a Peach Blossom Fanatic' instructed, "Don't take anything from inside. Don't get killed by the NPCs; it's not worth it."
They learned a harsh lesson from the Dragon Palace Secret Realm; they were killed before they could even properly explore it, which was a huge loss.
The entrance is a pavilion made of white marble with red beams and glazed tiles, surrounded by a light mist. Lotus flowers bloom, their leaves and pods flourishing within the mist. Occasionally, a uniquely shaped artificial hill appears, with either a pine tree or a maple tree growing on it. The pine needles are deep green, their forms imbued with a sense of age, weathered yet powerful. The maple leaves are vibrant red, their branches outstretched, swaying gently in the breeze.
The players had no words to describe the scene before them; they just kept taking photos and videos, wanting to capture every corner.
"I'm definitely going to decorate my home like this when I get back, it's so beautiful!"
The girls simply couldn't resist the sight of misty clouds and graceful lotus blossoms.
The boys also really liked it; it was very grand and magnificent.
Clouds and mist shroud the peaks, revealing their bases; upon closer inspection, orchids hang delicately like pearls.
I walk slowly and lightly, my steps tethered to the grass, yet I do not complain that my clothes are wet and my wooden clogs are tight.
So beautiful!
In the end, only these three words could express my feelings. Repeating them made me feel empty inside.
Just then, a group of fairies dressed in different solid-colored clothes floated over, each carrying a beautiful basket. The baskets were woven from bamboo, with flowing fabric trim along the edges, and a red tassel on the handle.
Players are familiar with fairies; ever since the Queen Mother and Jade Emperor's images appeared at Yaochi, fairies have been present in every event, so players are quite familiar with them. Seeing them again is incredibly exciting; they summon their red embroidered balls and follow them.
When the fairies saw the dozen or so players stop, the one in the red dress at the head of the group asked, "Do you gentlemen have something to do with us?"
One player's voice rose with excitement, and he asked, his face flushed, "Where are you fairies going? Can we come with you?"
The fairy said, "I'm afraid that won't work. We are going to the Peach Garden, which is a key place in Heaven, and no unauthorized people are allowed to enter."
After saying that, he sped away and flew off. "I am a peach blossom fanatic," he said, and secretly slipped something to the last fairy in green.
“We’re not bad people. We’re just grateful for the grandeur of the Heavenly Court, but others look down on us because of our lowly status and inability to go anywhere. If we follow you, fairy, we can help with the work, and you just need to watch from the sidelines, how about that?”
What she gave the fairy in green was a handful of osmanthus flowers that she had treasured and that even the guardian spirit hadn't been willing to give away. She had originally thought that since both the fairy and the guardian spirit were NPCs in the mythological system, the fairy should like what the guardian spirit liked.
I didn't expect to be right!
The woman in green handed the basket to "I'm a Peach Blossom Fanatic," saying with a touch of arrogance, "Remember to find the biggest peach and knock it down with the Golden Ruyi."
"I'm a peach blossom fanatic"—who knew this job required skill?
Upon closer inspection, a small golden ruyi scepter was discovered in the basket. The ruyi head was shaped like an auspicious cloud, and the handle was exquisitely carved with dragons and phoenixes. A tassel was also tied to the end of the handle, with a peace buckle on the tassel.
"I'm a Peach Blossom Fanatic" was a little envious; this safety buckle was just too beautiful—a lustrous, icy blue with a slight hint of green, like a lake reflecting the sky. So, his hand couldn't resist trying to pry it off the knot, but he couldn't get it off no matter how hard he tried. He was both hoping to finally pry it off and afraid that doing so would anger the NPCs and get them killed...
While pondering, I arrived at the Peach Garden.
Seeing that she was not moving, the fairy turned around and saw that she looked greedy. She was a little annoyed. "Stop picking at it. The safety buckle is a pair with the ones on the basket. You can't pick any peaches if either one is missing."
The player standing to the side instinctively asked, "Why?"
The fairy said sadly, "Once, a monkey took our Ruyi and stole the peaches. The Queen Mother learned her lesson and changed the rules for picking peaches. After that, you can't pick peaches with just the Ruyi; you have to have a basket with you."
The players suddenly realized what was happening and looked at the fairy with a burning gaze.
Since just the ruyi (a type of scepter) isn't enough, why not take the basket along with it?
The fairy gestured for them to pick the peaches quickly, but the players stared in disbelief at the peaches before them. They had been so engrossed in chatting that they had forgotten to look around, and now the sudden sight was quite striking.
A vast peach orchard, the peach trees growing very strong and sturdy, each one too thick for one person to hug. The peaches were almost all at the top, large, round, and plump with pink flesh.
The players were drooling. What the Star Trek people lacked most were plants and all kinds of plant-based delicacies. How could they resist such a good thing?
As you get closer, the sweet aroma of peaches fills the air, making it completely irresistible!
They exchanged a glance, feeling a surge of excitement as they looked at the other fairies picking peaches ahead.
A male player, seemingly having made up his mind, quickly summoned his attendants, including the Fairy of the Four Seasons and the Bamboo Fairy, and swung a heavy hammer weighing over 100 pounds directly at the fairy in green beside him. This action startled his teammates, who quickly joined in the robbery, having their guardian spirits swiftly bind the first few fairies.
They used their ruyi scepters to smash peaches, shouting as they did so: "Give them all to 'I am a peach blossom fanatic'! 'I am a peach blossom fanatic'! If you see anyone chasing you, retreat! Don't die! Don't die!"
"I'm a peach blossom fanatic," he said helplessly, "Guys, we haven't finished exploring the Peach Garden yet."
She had no idea what was inside and was forced to flee; she was feeling a bit down.
Just as she was feeling down, a teammate shoved a basket of three peaches into her arms. "Hurry up and put them away. Two of you come over here to act as bodyguards and shields. If there are pursuers, stall for time so that Peach Blossom can escape."
"okay!"
