Chapter 266 The Carved Boat
The second-place winner will receive a machine-carved nut-carved bracelet; each bracelet, available in both styles, contains only one carved nut.
The third-place winner will receive an uncarved fruit pit as a gift. Hope everyone enjoys it!
The following is a summary of the content of this update:
1. A brand new permanent dungeon, the Underworld, has been added. This dungeon is currently in open beta, allowing one million players to enter at any given time, with each player allowed two entries. Players are advised to schedule their entry time accordingly, but please keep an eye out for available slots and avoid missing your entry time.
2. A brand new dungeon, Flower Fruit Mountain, has been added. There is no limit to the number of players who can enter, but it is a test dungeon. Any bugs or issues are welcome to be reported. In this dungeon, players can collect various fruit pits and seeds, which can then be crafted into exquisite carved ornaments by artisans in the Huaxia Jianghu (martial arts world).
3. The shop has been updated with items such as Ox Tears, Willow Leaves, Exorcising Talismans, Paper Money, and Paper Clothes, which can be used in various adventures!
4. New guest spirits added: Carp Fairy Fuyun, Dragon Girl Qinghu, Fox Fairy Xueji, Tree Fairy Xingpo, Flower Fairy Yanling, Ghost-Catching Door Gods Shentu and Yulei, and General Door Gods Qin Qiong and Yuchi Wei. All new guest spirits added in this event are available for recruitment. Door Gods are the most numerous, as they are guardian deities invited to every household in China. Door Gods can be solo figures like Zhong Kui or Mu Guiying, or appear in pairs like the Heng and Ha Generals, or Wen Tianxiang and Bao Gong. Different door gods can be worshipped depending on the purpose and needs. These door gods are mostly valiant warriors, strategists, and benevolent figures from various dynasties. People worship them not only to expect their protection but also as a sign of their love and remembrance.
5. Update player homesteads and add 'Hundreds of Acres of Fertile Land' space. This space comes in various forms, and players need to view them before purchasing.
6. The Jianghu world continues its regular updates with new NPCs and an increase of ten million players per server. The original 60,000 servers have been merged into 600, connected by bridges, eliminating the need for separate entry points. A brand-new sect system has been added, allowing players to form their own sects and engage in sect battles, provided they adhere to the existing gray and white name rules; otherwise, they'll be targeted by powerful and unsavory forces. Jianghu is becoming a true Jianghu world, with more exciting updates coming soon.
7. A brand new Palace of Clothing and Hats has been added. The palace has two modes: Private Mode and Museum Mode. In Museum Mode, other players can be invited to visit.

Stay tuned for more exciting content!
Lin Shuying accidentally created a lot of content, and the game design department had to work overtime until midnight every day just to catch up with the update.
Meanwhile, Barbie Fashion officially announced the failure of its campaign targeting Qingfengyi. That campaign featured various world-famous landmarks that were famous at the time, attracting countless tourists and generating huge profits. Unfortunately, StarCraft players didn't like it; they preferred Qingfengyi's porcelain and porcelain roads, and were filled with envy.
Barbie Fashion is also money-grubbing. It was hard to get two new outfits that players liked, but the cost was too high, causing players to complain and a large number of players who were not well-off quit the game.
No matter how good the interstellar benefits are, people on third- or second-magnitude planets still can't afford to spend the majority of their salary on them. Humans need to live; benefits are benefits, and hard work is hard work. As individuals within a larger group, what they absolutely cannot lose is the ability to work and the determination to strive. These are essential conditions for human progress; otherwise, technology will only turn humanity into brains confined to nutrient tanks.
Barbie Fashion has completely lost its competitiveness. Although it is still the game with the most players, three or four Barbie Fashion games cannot compare to Qingfengyi in terms of quality.
Tony angrily questioned his fellow transmigrators: "Is this the result of your efforts? All of our empires can't compare to a tiny China!"
One of the collaborators muttered to himself, "We lost once in our past lives, so why care about winning or losing this time?"
The person next to him with the communication basket overheard this and chimed in, "You get used to winning and losing, you'll get used to it."
Tony, enraged, ripped off his personal terminal and threw it. The communication screen shook for a moment before stabilizing, and everyone reappeared on the virtual screen, still with their infuriating expressions. Tony was helpless; he felt his failures were all due to this bunch of incompetent teammates. He decided to abandon them all!
Not a single one was left.
Just then, the capitalists who had invested behind the scenes started calling, asking when the next event would start, as Qingfengyi was launching a new event. As investors, they didn't care whether he could win or lose, as long as he made money.
However, Barbie Fashion's expansion had already surpassed the peak of the 'n' curve and was on a downward trend. At this point, further expansion was not in line with capital needs, so the only option was to focus on production activities to keep profits at their peak.
This peak must be reached with Qingfengyi, otherwise it will only decline.
How could someone who has experienced commuting by plane possibly accept commuting by wheelchair?
Tony was also angry when he saw this group of people; they were all money-grubbing bastards!
But the big investors can't say no; they still need more of their investment.
"I need to invest. Barbie Fashion must lower the prices of clothing and props, and also design better game scenery to attract players from clothing to beautifully designed travel maps."
He couldn't compete with them in terms of clothing. Although the Chinese only account for 2.5% of the more than 2,000 ethnic groups in the world, the richness of Chinese clothing is unmatched by any other country. This country has a cheat code; where else can you find a country where the clothing style changes with each dynasty and each king, and the clothing style has been relatively well preserved even after changing every few hundred years or even every few decades?
No!
This includes the clothing of various ethnic minorities, which has been continuously improved and iterated during migrations. Even within the same ethnic group, many tribes have emerged, each with its own distinct clothing. In total, there are two to three thousand styles of clothing in Chinese culture.
The clothing styles of other countries are completely different, with strong inheritance and somewhat fixed styles. After being impacted by modern clothing, most of those costumes are now only seen in performance venues.
With this in mind, Tony decided to focus on tourism resources, something China definitely couldn't compete with!
It seems that this person's mind is still stuck in the beautiful dream woven for him by his country.
Investors don't care what he does, as long as he makes money.
"We will not increase the investment amount. You must also abide by the contract and maintain the current peak return level. Otherwise, we will consider finding someone else to invest. As you know, there are too many Summoners, and we have many choices. Although Qingfengyi does not need investment, Planet Huaxia does."
Another capitalist said, "In just a few months after becoming the Chinese planet, those planets created a value equivalent to one-fifth of Barbie fashion, and they were just one planet. We, on the other hand, sponsored you to open up most of the planets in the entire interstellar space, except for the Zerg."
Tony frowned and said, "If you're willing, Barbie Fashion can also follow Qingfengyi's lead and launch the Eagle Planet Project."
"Hahaha, are you trying to make me laugh to death? What's Eagle Planet going to do? Food or clothing? Or the tourism you're talking about?"
It's not that they don't believe it, but that even in games there's such a lack of content, so why would they want to take it offline?
Offline investments can't be offset by the small amount of money invested online. You have to understand that the cost of transforming those planets in China represents the accumulated wealth of several generations of the planet's ruling family. Some planets with ruling families even borrowed hundreds of billions of yuan from their respective families. Just because they have money doesn't mean they want to lose it.
Tony said, "You haven't experienced the charm of marine culture. It's more exciting offline than online. You'll only know this if you do it seriously."
"Go ahead and do it. See how this event compares to Qingfengyi's."
Tony ruthlessly recreated the scenes from the original blockbuster movies. Back then, The Lord of the Rings amazed generations with its epic visuals, but even that can't compare to Qingfengyi.
The final product was quite impressive, but with such a high-quality product already established, it was difficult for the StarCraft community to respond favorably. The partner's hired online trolls frantically shared the video and commented on it on the StarCraft website.
"Isn't this more captivating than 'The Breeze's Breeze'? (Video)"
The video depicts a siege by countless monsters, with human soldiers fighting desperately despite their small size. It is incredibly powerful, especially the elf prince, whose dazzling golden hair captivated countless viewers.
"It's quite remarkable, but the latest archaeological data says that only two countries on the home planet have a population exceeding one billion, while the rest have less than four hundred million. Later, due to the awakening of people's minds, the birth rate declined, leading to the extinction of some countries due to population reduction?"
"One billion people? That's far too few!"
Interstellar people are measured in hundreds of billions, and they wish they had even more, perhaps a billion?
It's unimaginable. With such a small population, a single insect king leading five million subjects could wipe out humanity in minutes. Not to mention the current interstellar conflict plan—a population war—it's simply impossible for such a war to even begin.
"You need to understand that the home planet only has one planet, which is completely different from interstellar travel."
"That's right. We have the capability to bring habitable planets here, create artificial stars, and migrate to other planets on a large scale. Our ancestors used up all of humanity's resources just to build a spaceship to enter space."
"So, how did this video manage to stage such a large-scale war between two countries with a population of one billion, one being China and the other being under China? Are those insectoids? They don't look like it, or is it some other race?"
"This isn't reality; it's a scene from a big movie in some countries on our home planet. Please don't take it seriously."
......
What was originally a very good competitive angle actually failed because of the Star Trek people's insistence on taking things seriously. I wonder what the mastermind behind it all thinks. Qingfengyi didn't think much of it; on the contrary, he made a fortune.
"Oh dear, I thought it was a real-life scene. Since it's virtual, is it okay for me to post this? It's a video."
The video shows Pangu creating the world, it's truly amazing!
