Chapter 155: Malls and Ships
Feng came to the "face-changing" shop. The products sold in this shop were masks, and the shop owner was a painter.
Currently, players cannot make their own mask shells and can only buy them in the game prop mall. However, the mask patterns in the game prop mall are very monotonous, so artists can create new creations on these mask shells.
With their superb painting skills, these painters printed various patterns on these masks, such as birds and animals, flowers, birds, trees, beauties and beasts, etc.
Masks are one of the most sold props, perhaps because of their low price, or perhaps because wearing masks has become a fashion in the game.
But in his opinion, the more important reason is that based on a certain setting of the game, the mask has become a weapon that can hide the player's true face and information.
To borrow the words of some commentators: "A mask, a life." Players use masks to cover their true colors and interpret their various aspects of life.
Weapons and armor are always the main props in the game. Brother Hammer has a new apprentice. This apprentice is very special. He is not a weapons master and has no relevant forging experience, but he is an eloquent anchor.
Manufacturing and sales must go hand in hand in order to become stronger and bigger. This new apprentice has lived up to expectations. He has more than 100,000 fans and is currently selling various weapons in the largest weapons store in the shopping mall.
Private customization is a major feature of weapons sales, because every player has his own martial arts dream, and there is an important attribute in the martial arts dream: exclusive weapons.
Holding your own exclusive weapons, you can hoe the strong and help the weak in the game world, rob the rich and give to the poor. Just thinking about it can make people's blood boil.
Since it is an exclusive weapon, it must have its own characteristics. Therefore, when customizing, players can state some special and reasonable requirements, and the weapon master will then integrate these requirements into the weapon.
…
Private customization is also suitable for armor. As long as the customer wants it, the armor master can make it. Even if the armor master is not good, there are other life skills to assist.
Regarding armor, the system has undergone a major change not long ago. Originally, the game only provided a few types of armor by default, such as helmets, breastplates, arm guards, leggings, and shoes. However, these types of armor cannot protect the player's entire body at all.
So after players' suggestions and representations, the game added new shoulder pads, thigh straps, knee pads, etc. Once the player configures all the armor, it can truly be called all-round defense.
Some players said: I had finally collected a full set of armor, but I never expected that a few more items would be added. It seems that I have to work hard to move the pieces again;
Some players said: These are the plots of "profiteers" and we will not be fooled;
Some players said: If you play like this, capitalists will cry when they hear it;
Some players said: It doesn’t matter, I don’t fight anyway;
…
In addition to defensive armor, the system also has a type of armor called casual armor. Casual armor is the so-called "game skin". For example, the Mid-Autumn Festival dress designed by Shishi is casual armor.
Casual armor does not have strong defensive capabilities, but it is valuable because it looks good and can enhance the charm of the player's game character.
Currently, Shishi has determined her future goal in the game, which is to specialize in "game skins." She has also opened a store in a large mall, focusing on casual clothing designed by herself.
As a store owner, Shishi also has her own ideas. She puts a special mark on every piece of clothing she sells. This mark is very concealed, so that it can prevent counterfeiting and each piece of clothing can be called unique.
The highlight of Shishi’s store is the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day dresses she designed.
Although this National Day does not rank the designed National Day dresses like the Mid-Autumn Festival, every player must have his own ranking in his heart.
In the flower shop, all kinds of flowers sit in their own pots, waiting for their owners to take them home.
In the decoration shop, various weapon decorations and armor decorations are neatly arranged.
…
After visiting the game props, he then walked to the real products, ready to see what real products were for sale in the mall and see if there would be any surprises for him.
When passing by the center of the shopping mall, he found that the shops in the center were actually vacant. Although he felt a little strange, he didn't think much about it. After all, there were still many vacant shops, including these.
After arriving here, he discovered that the real products on sale were not simple food and clothing. If you want to sum it up in one sentence, it would be: every product has its own characteristics and value.
For example, there is a store that sells mahogany furniture. Every piece of furniture in it is handmade, and the patterns on it are hand-carved. This kind of furniture is very valuable. Many people may only buy it once in their lives, and some people may even never come into contact with it in their lives.
For example, there is a shop that sells customized cheongsam. Each piece is high-quality and handmade.
For example, there is a shop that sells large stone sculptures, such as tigers, lions, eagles, etc.
...
For these shop owners, they do not expect to be able to sell their products through games. They just want to find another promotion channel and advertisement for their products.
Of course, the actual products sold in shopping malls cannot all be valuable, and some stores sell things that are more approachable.
There is a shop that sells liquor. This liquor is home-brewed in a remote mountainous area and the price is very approachable.
There is a store that sells beer. Because the beer trademark has only been out for a few years, it needs to be promoted through multiple channels. It was the sponsor of the last Lake Center Island fishing competition.
There is a store that sells cakes and is now a national chain.
There is a shop selling handicrafts, which are intangible cultural heritage.
...
After leaving the shopping mall, he came to the inner courtyard. Only family members and players with permission can enter the inner courtyard, otherwise they will be automatically shot by the family arrow tower.
However, the damage range of the arrow tower is limited after all, which also gives other players the opportunity to sneak into the inner courtyard. Moreover, there is a bug in the family arrow tower, which is that it cannot recognize masked players. Therefore, the family patriarch must make a setting for the arrow tower: whether to shoot masked players.
Based on this BUG, the gameplay in the family courtyard will be diverse.
...
Day 43 of the game.
Today is the last day of the shipbuilding plan. The ship will undergo final assembly and launch. Life players gathered at the county dock to witness this sacred moment.
First, the cargo ship is spliced. There are two types of cargo ships, large and small. Now the large cargo ship is spliced. The splicing personnel are not players, but NPCs.
Under the attention of the players, the small objects made by the players slowly turned into large objects, and then gradually took shape.
The excited words of the players on the sidelines:
"Look, that's the hull of the cargo ship that has been spliced together."
"Look, that's the bow of the ship, and I made part of it."
"What about the stern? Why can't you see the stern? What I made is the stern part?"
"Why are you panicking? You'll see later."
...
Soon after, the main body of the large cargo ship was assembled. It was a huge thing. It was divided into three floors: upper, middle and lower. Each floor could store a large amount of cargo and had a very strong carrying capacity. It also had several guest rooms for players to rest.
"Get into the water."
Following the order from the Ministry of Industry player, the NPC soldiers slowly turned the pulley. As the pulley rotated, the large template under the large cargo ship slowly began to tilt outward.
"Pfft." A huge sound of falling into the water sounded, and the large cargo ship hit the river water, splashing waves.
When the cargo ship first entered the water, it seemed that it was not adapted to life in the water. It began to swing from side to side desperately, trying to break free from the constraints of the river water. However, the river was too tolerant and the cargo ship could not escape after struggling. So it recognized its fate and accepted its mission.
After successfully entering the water, the assembly of the cargo ship was only half successful. Next, preparations for decorating the ship began. I saw items being carried one by one by the NPC to the cargo ship, and then installed one by one.
When the large cargo ship was finally assembled, its appearance had changed drastically:
You can see beaming red lanterns, red carpets, and big red flowers everywhere;
Various, colorful gems are inlaid around the edge of the ship, as if plating a colorful halo on the ship's hull;
There is a huge wooden eagle statue on the bow of the ship, with a pair of sharp eyes looking forward domineeringly.
On the plywood, rows of flowers bloom neatly and beautifully;
Compared with the exterior, the interior decoration of the cabin is relatively simple and practical. The empty cabin is waiting for the arrival of its owner.
...
After the large cargo ships are assembled, the small cargo ships are assembled.
Small cargo ships have one layer, making assembly simple.
Comparing the two cargo ships with each other:
Large cargo ships have strong carrying capacity but relatively slow speed;
Small cargo ships have limited carrying capacity but are fast;
The current configuration of a terminal is: 2 large cargo ships and 6 small cargo ships.
The last thing assembled is the passenger ship. The size of the passenger ship is between a large cargo ship and a small cargo ship. It is divided into two floors, each floor has more than ten rooms. These rooms are divided into large rooms and small rooms to meet the needs of different players. Different needs.
The decoration of passenger ships is more exaggerated and gorgeous than that of cargo ships, and every room has sculptures of the twelve zodiac signs and a variety of exotic flowers and plants;
The aisles of the passenger ship are illuminated not by lanterns, but by various shining gems, red, blue, yellow, purple..., colorful;
From time to time, there is a beautiful pattern hanging on the walls on both sides of the aisle, which is pleasing to the eye;
Flowers are popular everywhere, and they are placed in every corner of the ship, often in unexpected ways.
...
There are currently four passenger ships configured at one terminal, and the set destinations are Chiba County and Wanling County.
When the cargo ships and passenger ships at the three docks have been assembled, the players already know in their hearts that a family war is coming, and only the three strongest families can gain control of these ships.
