Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 12

She knocked on the door, and a girl dressed in beautiful fabric came out. She was stunned by the clothes.

Lin Shuying opened the door. The only person who would be coming today was a lady applying for a photography job.

"Hello, are you Lin Qiaoqiao?"

Lin Qiaoqiao was stunned, completely oblivious to Lin Shuying's words. This person was wearing fluffy rabbit-shaped slippers and a pink and white tight-fitting outfit that perfectly showcased her figure. The hem of her outfit was embroidered with exquisite plum blossoms. Her long hair (just reaching her ears) was adorned with a pretty floral headband—she was absolutely stunning!

"Hello?"

Lin Shuying frowned. What was wrong with this person? He was staring at her without blinking.

Lin Qiaoqiao snapped back to reality when she was called, "Y-hello."

"You're applying for a job, right?"

"Yes."

"Come in."

Lin Shuying's first impression of her was good, except that she stared at her blankly. At least she wasn't wearing a brightly colored black outfit.

How much resentment do they have about this color of spray-painted clothing?

Lin Qiaoqiao was stunned by the sight before her when she entered the room. The floor was covered with boxes, debris, plastic sheets, imitation wood, fabric, pillows, and so on.

Even landfills are probably not this chaotic.

You have to stand on tiptoe to find a place to step.

Lin Shuying brought her a set of clothes from inside the house and pointed to the room prepared for her, saying, "That's your room from now on. Just put your luggage in there. Change your clothes and start working. I might be very busy here, but don't worry, you'll get all the overtime pay and bonuses you're entitled to."

"Okay, okay."

The interstellar people didn't have much luggage, just some toiletries and spray.

Upon receiving the clothes, Lin Qiaoqiao was somewhat at a loss; the fabric was so comfortable!

Is she dressed exactly like the boss?

At least 100,000!

You know, the fabric costs several thousand, but the clothes cost much more; there are design fees and labor costs included.

The holographic design fee for spray-painted clothing can be hundreds of thousands of yuan, so you can imagine how high the design fee for fabric clothing must be.

Upon entering the room, she cautiously changed her clothes and came out. Lin Shuying burst out laughing the moment she saw her, "You're wearing them backwards."

I went to her room and gave her some instructions on how to wear it. The cheongsam is a very easy garment to wear; you just have to slip it on.

The cheongsams she made were all quite loose-fitting, with a trouser-like bottom and very wide legs. If you didn't spread your legs, they would look like cheongsams with a few pleats.

After putting it on, Lin Qiaoqiao exclaimed in surprise, "This is so comfortable!"

Lin Shuying said proudly, "Right?"

Lin Qiaoqiao blushed and asked, "Is this a work benefit?"

Lin Shuying said, "This is my work uniform. Okay, come down and help me."

As an employee of a fashion studio, my clothes are neither attractive nor presentable.

The wall of repackaged boxes she designed needs to be assembled quickly for easy repackaging.

It's not right to pack all those gems and beads in a shipping box.

Lin Qiaoqiao came down and began packing boxes as instructed by Lin Shuying.

Considering the possibility of moving the boxes later, Lin Shuying did not fix the box wall to the wall. Instead, she assembled the boxes first, then pushed them over and secured them.

There are over 500 boxes that were packed together. They aren't very tall, otherwise it would be difficult to reach the beads. The drawers are oval and can be rotated out, making it easy to access the beads.

I also made a small ladder so that it would be easier to reach things from high places.

While packing boxes, Lin Qiaoqiao's eyes darted around. The pillows scattered on the floor were quite pretty, as were the hanging curtains. There was a large, beautiful bird on the sofa; she wondered what kind it was...

Two days after the box wall was finished, Lin Shuying began arranging for Lin Qiaoqiao to repackage the beads. Danone had mixed all the beads together, even though they had previously agreed to repackage them separately. But they wanted extra money…

Lin Shuying didn't expect that modern machines could produce beads and hairpin parts from several different materials at the same time. Oh well, she used to repackage them when she was buying leftover stock.

What she didn't know was that people simply threw all sorts of gemstones into the polishing machine, and the operator at the front desk input the desired shape and size into the equipment, and the assembly line could produce them continuously.

When the gemstone pattern was produced, the workers in the production workshop were stunned!

These stones are truly beautiful after being shaped and polished. Although I don't know what the customer intends to do with them, I'm sure many collectors would be willing to buy them even if they were sold unpolished.

The sales manager slapped his thigh in exasperation, exclaiming, "How come I never thought of such a great idea before? We could make a fortune selling these stones!"

The assistant said, "It's because their design is good, boss. Should we buy the design copyright from the client, make it, and sell it?"

The sales manager's eyes lit up. "Great! If we can close this deal, your bonus this year will be doubled."

The assistant said with a smile, "I don't want a bonus, I want a vacation..."

Before he could finish speaking, the minister had already left, calling out from afar, "I'll give you double the bonus."

The assistant sullenly cried out, "Minister, you're heartless!"

Is there a difference between double and multiply?

.......

Back to Xia Chunqi, this time she brought a lot of silk flower materials to school, and even awkwardly wore a cheongsam to school. There wasn't a single person wearing cloth clothes on the road, and at first glance, she was amazed. Curious children couldn't stop staring at her.

Fortunately, the interstellar people were rather reserved and not very social, so none of them asked her anything.

Coming to school was different; the students were much more enthusiastic, and many couldn't help but come up and ask all sorts of questions. Xia Chunqi thought about how fast Lin Shuying made the clothes, and didn't mention where the clothes came from, only saying that they were a gift from a part-time job boss online, but she didn't know who it was.

I finally escaped to the dorm, and my roommate's eyes lit up!

"Wow!! Where did you get these clothes? Tell me the truth."

Xia Chunqi spun around first, then asked excitedly, "Is it pretty?"

My three roommates said enviously, "It looks great, it's exactly the same as the one in Qingfengyi. Why don't you take it off and we can try it on too?"

Too beautiful!

She was wearing a cheongsam from the Republican era, with a high collar, black trim, and short, floral sleeves that barely covered her arms. The skirt was quite long, reaching around her knees, with brown trim and an embroidered orchid at the slit. The dress was light green with subtle, shimmering plum blossom patterns, made from a fabric that Lin Shuying had recently commissioned at great expense.

Overall, Xia Chunqi appeared gentle and dignified, especially with the large pink and white hat on her head, which perfectly covered her bald head.

The hat has a small red bow, which is both understated and pretty.

Xia Chunqi said with a smile, "I brought you a set, but you have to pay for it. The set includes a hat, scarf, clothes, and shoes, and it costs 30,000. Do you want it?"

"I want it!"

They are all well-off women from wealthy families with their own savings!

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to buy all the clothes and props in Qingfengyi.

And that's 30,000 pieces of fabric for clothes!!

It's incredibly cheap.

No, cabbage is very expensive now, this is practically a rip-off price.

Xia Chunqi brought three sets of clothes with her, all of which were her own. Her cousin said she didn't have time to make her new ones, so these were for her to wear in rotation.

That's practically all of her stock.

"These are all my clothes, which shows how much effort I've put into them!"

The three roommates all stopped dressing and came over to hug each other, saying, "Chunqi, you're the best!"

"Chunqi, I love you the most!"

Chunqi, you're wonderful, I love you~

Xia Chunqi blushed.

After changing their clothes, the three roommates felt something was off, as if something was missing.

"Chunqi, is something missing?"

Xia Chunqi looked them over and noticed that they weren't wearing bras!

"Um... I didn't bring you any underwear, so you can just make do with spray clothes."

Lin Shuying never expected that her clothes could be used with spray paint.

After spraying the clothes according to the style of Xia Chunqi's underwear, it did look quite similar.

"Chunqi, remember to bring everything next time. It will be very comfortable to wear the whole outfit."

"I feel so conflicted right now. The part that's spraying my clothes is uncomfortable, but the part that's wearing them feels so comfortable!"

"I feel the same way."

Xia Chunqi said with a smug look on her face, "Of course, the feeling is completely different."

"Ahhh, how can I be so beautiful!"

"Hat, hat!"

"Oh dear, I didn't even notice until you pointed it out. Being bald really affects your appearance!"

Xia Chunqi quickly handed over the hat, and felt much more comfortable after putting it on.

"How are we supposed to go to class dressed like this?"

"Oh yeah, the hat is getting in the way."

Xia Chunqi picked up the silk scarf and said, "Use this!"

As she spoke, she wrapped a silk scarf around her head, tying a pretty bow at her chin. After two days of learning at home, her older cousin taught her three types of knots: a bow, a rose knot, a square knot, and an orchid knot. She only learned the simplest bow knot...

"Chunqi, where did you get so many beautiful clothes?"

After their initial excitement, the roommates remembered to ask where the clothes came from.

Xia Chunqi stammered, "Don't ask, there's no extra for you anyway."

My cousin is already so busy making her own clothes that she can't afford to have other customers taking them away.

The next day in class, the four of them went out dressed in matching cloth clothes. The three roommates were a little awkward and didn't dare to come out, laughing and joking.

"Chunqi, I'm so shy!"

Xia Chunqi had already walked the entire way to school, so she was a little more relaxed about it. She said, "She's so pretty, it would be a waste not to show her to everyone. Let's go!"

The four women, dressed in cheongsams, floral shoes, sun hats, and thin scarves, walked with their heads held high.

Those around who saw it were stunned. Where did this fairy come from?!

Girls were filled with envy, and boys were filled with admiration.

That impact was tremendous!

Only after people have walked past and can no longer see them do they remember to go up and ask for their contact information. By the time they run up, the person has already disappeared around the corner.

"What kind of outfit is that? It's so beautiful!"

"It looks like the clothes in Qingfengyi."

"My God, they actually made Qingfeng Yishang's clothes!!"

"I don't know which class they're in. I'll go up and ask if they can make one for me."

"That won't do. If they make it for you, it would be copyright infringement."

"Ah, this... I don't know how to do it myself..."

"No, I need to go find them and ask what materials they need. I'll place the order right now!"

.......

After class, Xia Chunqi and her classmates were pulled aside by a group of students who asked them questions, which startled Xia Chunqi.

There were so many people that the four of them couldn't squeeze out.

Xia Chunqi shouted, "I don't know what materials to use, I had someone else make this!"

"Huh? Isn't that copyright infringement?"

Xia Chunqi stammered, "Where is the infringement? This was designed by Boss Qingfengyi, there is no infringement."

"Ahhh, how did you get in touch with them?!"

"How did we contact her? Why isn't she replying to our messages?"

"Could you give us her contact information?"

Xia Chunqi said, "I bothered her dozens of times a day, and she replied to me and even sent me a flower-making task."

Xia Chunqi felt very guilty after saying that. This wasn't lying, right?

Those people let the four go and rushed to contact the designer, Qingfengyi, showering her with compliments. Some talented individuals also took a look at the clothes Xia Chunqi and the others were wearing and quickly went to buy materials.

Coincidentally, thanks to Lin Shuying's popularity as a major client, the materials she bought became a hit. She has already released the copyright rights, and they are now available in every shop she bought from.

The influx of players from Qingfengyi instantly made shops selling all kinds of fabrics, sewing tools, threads, and so on extremely popular.

The boss was overjoyed, and the machines in the factory kept running day and night.

It's a legendary story of how a surge in popularity saved several businesses.

Xia Chunqi and the others fled back to their dormitory, wiping their foreheads and exclaiming, "That was terrifying!"

"I'm so happy!"

"So exciting!"

They then looked at each other and burst into laughter.

It feels so good to be envied and admired by everyone!

"I'm going to stun them for a week!"

Xia Chunqi poured cold water on the idea, saying, "You can't wear clothes for a week. You have to take them off and wash them every two or three days, otherwise they'll smell bad."

"why?"

"You're stupid, we sweat."

"I felt it!"

"I think I need to wash now."

I just ran around and I'm all sweaty.

Four people who had never washed clothes before were squatting on the balcony scrubbing them...

"I think the reason why ancient people abandoned clothes and started wearing spray-on clothing was because they hated washing clothes."

I agree.

? ? ........

Lin Shuying started unpacking the box; she planned to record an unpacking video.

"Stand next to me and record me opening the box, but remember not to record my face."

"Ok."

Lin Shuying first opened a box, inside which were colorful, translucent leaves. Lin Shuying sighed, realizing she'd forgotten to tell the other person she didn't want any black or red leaves!

I picked it up and looked at it. Okay.

Just like mutations and leaves in the darkness.

"These are tea tree leaves; you can put them in a storage box."

Push the box aside, next one.

Chrysanthemum petals come in five sizes: the center petals, the middle petals, the outer petals, and the last two also have two different sizes with varying thicknesses.

"These are chrysanthemum petals, made of various gemstones. The workmanship is very fine, quite nice."

As she spoke, she picked up a large handful of gems and presented them to the camera. Lin Qiaoqiao stared intently at the screen filled with gems, which were colorful, shimmering, and crystal clear.

"Is this a magic stone?"

Lin Shuying chuckled and teased, "These are delicious candies, want to take a bite?"

Lin Qiaoqiao blushed. "Are you kidding me? They're clearly stones of various colors."

Lin Shuying laughed heartily, "The little cutie from the interstellar world is just too adorable!"

She coughed, her expression turning serious, and continued with the next unboxing.

One after another, chrysanthemum leaves, peony petals, orchid petals, bamboo leaves, water droplets, flower calyxes, auspicious cloud locks, small fans, imitation wood hairpins, large hair combs, small hair combs, small hairpins, large hairpins, flat hairpins, round hairpins, and so on, began to appear.

Two hundred kinds seem like a lot, but when broken down, they're not that many.

Especially the gemstones, which may appear to be three tons of material, once separated, each gemstone component only has about two hundred parts, and nearly eighteen different gemstone materials, which is not a lot.

This thing is heavy; selling it by weight would be a rip-off.

Then the repackaging process began.

There was no need for filming here; the two of them worked together until 8 PM.

Lin Shuying told Lin Qiaoqiao to go and rest. She was supposed to go to rest at five o'clock, but Lin Qiaoqiao was addicted to working and stayed up until eight o'clock.

Lin Shuying said, "I'll also send you some of my old videos. You can edit them and show me a few finished pieces. Record your overtime hours, and I'll pay you overtime later."

Lin Qiaoqiao took the camera to the sofa and started editing the footage. But looking at the beautiful gems in the footage, she couldn't bear to cut a single frame, let alone the footage of Lin Shuying making silk flowers.

Absolutely stunning!
