    The world's first crowdsourcing-driven asian bl novel translation community

    This ancient and magnificent city made everyone's inspiration explode again.

    Zhang Yu and his team worked day and night on nutrient solution, and finally, before the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, Little Chang'an City took on a new look.

    The borders of the square are covered by dense fog to the outside, and the moat to the inner and outer walls of the city is like a vigorous coiled dragon swimming. Inside the city, hundreds of feet of gossamer scrambles around the trees, and a group of delicate birds sing flowers together.①

    The majestic and majestic city wall is as high as the clouds, and the majestic NPC soldiers in armor and red tasseled caps standing under the city wall stand upright, with eagle eyes sweeping across, as if they want to find out the villains hidden among the people entering the city.

    In the city, countless tall ginkgo trees are like giant trees reaching to the sky, dropping countless golden leaves one after another with the breeze.

    Looking at this majestic city, Zhang Yu couldn't help crying with joy, hugged the person next to him and said, "It's finally finished."

    This Little Chang'an City, which bears the painstaking efforts of everyone in their team, is finally about to be unveiled!

    No one knows how much pressure they have endured in the short two weeks, and no one knows how their hearts are full of turmoil as the construction progress of the event is accelerated a little bit.

    They greedily stood on the tallest central exchange tower in the city and looked down, wishing they could see the entire "Little Chang'an City" below.

    Seeing this, Ivy clapped her hands dumbfounded, and she persuaded after drawing attention: "Don't watch, everyone go back to sleep and refresh yourself, don't forget that there is an important task tomorrow."

    By the way, there are still a lot of fairy-like Hanfu and jewelry that they need to deal with tomorrow!

    The girls who were still intoxicated in Little Chang'an City woke up instantly, and after a while, they all went offline to sleep, planning to recharge their energy and fight again tomorrow.

    At 6:30 am on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

    At this time of ordinary office workers, everyone opened the live broadcast room of a certain boss surnamed Xie, and then got an unusual news-tonight at 20 o'clock, the Earth Business Bank will hold a Lantern Festival interaction at the "Star Plaza"Activity.

    As soon as the news came out, Xing Bo became lively instantly.

    【Children are going crazy waiting: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!】

    [Lack of water, lack of oxygen, lack of clothes: blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, 2008. The boss just broadcast live and said that everything we want is available in the event, so can those fairy clothes and beautiful jewelry be obtained in the event?I'm begging~ The child really wants it!】

    [Long-tailed fish: Hey, who doesn't want it?Anyway, I’m planning to go to the event tonight. It just so happens that I’ve been feeling really boring recently.】

    "..."

    Although Xie Xingchen spoke mysteriously, many netizens dared to guess.

    Since Boss Xie said that we have everything we want, then the event prizes are naturally available!

    if there is not?

    Everyone: Hee hee~ A little leather whip is waiting for you.

    ...

    [Ding Dong, congratulations to the player for completing the hidden live broadcast mission "Happy New Year", rewards: Advanced Hanfu Making Machine*1, Advanced Jewelry Making Machine*1, Plant Affinity +1]

    At 8 o'clock in the morning, after Xie Xingchen downloaded the broadcast, the system prompt sounded immediately.

    Along with the system prompt sound, there is also the system mail sound.

    Walking quickly to a selected factory building, Xie Xingchen took out the [Advanced Hanfu Making Machine] and [Advanced Jewelry Making Machine] rewarded by the system.

    Just one of the two oversized machines occupies a medium-sized room.

    [Name: Advanced Hanfu Making Machine

    Function: making various high-end Hanfu

    Output: 100 pieces/24h]

    【Name: Advanced Jewelry Making Machine

    Function: making all kinds of high-end jewelry

    Output: 200 pieces/24h]

    After checking the details of the baby, Xie Xingchen clicked the [Advanced Hanfu Making Machine] sub-button to view the raw materials for making Hanfu.

    The raw materials needed to make Hanfu are not different from what he expected. Dozens of materials can be put into it, ranging from various fabrics and furs to small silk threads, dyes, and mutant metals.

    Then click [Advanced Jewelry Making Machine], the raw materials required are mainly metal, supplemented by cloth, silk thread, fluff, crystal, pearl, shell... and even insect corpses with unique colors, bird feathers and so on.

    The two machines are used in a similar way to other gourmet machines except for a small part of the raw materials that are slightly weird. The "output" described on the machine does not refer to the sum of the output time required for each product, but the refresh time for the machine to move again.

    Therefore, after Xie Xingchen put enough raw materials into the machine, within two hours, he got 100 pieces of exquisite high-end Hanfu and 200 pieces of beautiful jewelry.

    Curved trains, straight trains, cross-collared skirts, chest-length skirts, double-breasted skirts, horse-faced skirts, jacket skirts, Zhu Zishen clothing, triple clothing, large cloaks, student clothing, scholar clothing... everything.

    Compared with modern people, Hanfu is a general term for ancient traditional clothing, but in fact these are clothes of different dynasties, so different Hanfu have different characteristics of different dynasties.

    The Wei and Jin Dynasties were the most bohemian. At that time, people pursued the Tao and the relationship between heaven and man. Therefore, the clothing was also light and elegant, and the overall style was elegant and individual;Mainly in bright colors, supplemented by light-color embellishments, the overall shape is graceful and luxurious; after the Song Dynasty, the appearance of Neo-Confucianism made the whole social atmosphere restrained, and the clothes gradually became reserved and simple; after the Ming Dynasty, the national power became strong again,The clothes not only inherited the simplicity of the Song Dynasty, but also inherited the grace of the Tang Dynasty, noble yet elegant.

    Every kind of clothing can see the characteristics of the dynasty, but in addition, the system has also produced many improved Hanfu.

    There are tops and skirts with cross collars, mainly furry elements, which look soft and cute; there are also pure white, white and blue embellishments, and fairy-like neon clothes for men and women; there are also cold and hard colors,Simple chivalrous clothes...

    As for jewellery, there are more, such as hairpins, hairpins, hairpins, step shakers, tin flowers, flat squares, and phoenix crowns commonly used by girls, hair crowns and hairbands for boys, and even accessories such as sabers, folding fans, and round fans.Both.

    Really answered that sentence - only you can't think of it, no system can't do it!

    At 10 o'clock in the morning, when all the Hanfu and jewelry were finished, Xie Xingchen was stunned for several minutes.

    Seeing them, for a moment, he wanted to collect them all and watch them every day.

    After recovering, I couldn't help laughing at myself: "Even I can't bear it, so I guess everyone can't bear it even more?"

    After he finished speaking, he smiled with bright eyes, and then called Chang Shou to send wealth. The four of them worked together to scan the 100 pieces of Hanfu and 200 pieces of exquisite jewelry, enter them into the Hologram Mall and apply for a special patent.

    After completing the entry, Xie Xingchen specially selected a super-large room as a temporary Hanfu storage room, and carefully stored those high-end Hanfu and exquisite jewelry in it.

    At this time, Xie Xingchen was free to log in to Starnet Mall.

    In the creator's decoration space of the whole series of malls, he saw 20 girls who had no image at all.

    They were obsessed with fascination, drooling at the beautiful Hanfu in front of them, and their looks made people feel that they wanted to rush up to cling to them.

    At this moment, they have completely forgotten what self-control is!

    It wasn't until Xie Xingchen made a noise that they realized that they were leaders in various industries, and then they returned to normal and geared up to start working.

    100 replicas of Hanfu are 100*10, and replicas of 200 jewelry are 200*10. Because the quantity is not large, even if the replica is ten times, it is only 1000 Hanfu and 2000 jewelry.

    Think with your toes and know that these prizes are definitely not enough for participating players.

    But even so, these 3,000 items in total are the highlight of tonight's event, and they are also tonight's grand prize!

    There are two types of awards, one is the original 100 pieces of different Hanfu and 200 pieces of jewelry. This is the super award in the award and will not be changed in any way. As long as you get them, you can use them in the Holographic Mall indefinitely.

    The second type is simple Hanfu and jewelry. Starting from the original replica, by manually subtracting exquisite embroidery, changing ordinary colors, removing precious pearls and emeralds, changing hairpin rings from gold to silver, etc., a set of beautiful, but compared to the original Hanfu/jewelry which is noticeably simpler.

    Everyone: Hehe, it is not easy to create beautiful Hanfu/jewelry, but it is too simple to make it ugly on the basis of beautiful Hanfu/jewelry.

    Although they are all prizes, there are good and bad prizes!

    The simpler version looks better, but it’s not as good-looking as the exquisite version, but it also makes everyone work harder to chase the big prize, doesn’t it?

    That's right... If you follow the standard of 100 pieces of exquisite Hanfu, then 200 pieces of jewelry are not enough, so if you want to collect a set of beautiful/handsome looks, at least you have to get 5-10 pieces of original jewelry in the event.

    Thinking of some cheating games, everyone couldn't help feeling: This difficulty is really not small.

    ...

    At 18:00 on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Ba Yuqing came out of the training room.

    As the head of the grade, Ba Yuqing's life is very boring, except for class and training.

    For her, today was nothing special, just like in the past, she went to eat after training, and went back to the dormitory to rest after eating, waiting for the extra training in the evening...

    But when she was resting, her friend from the planting department suddenly ran over.

    "Why are you here?" Ba Yuqing asked puzzled.

    Ba Yuqing is very beautiful, but this kind of beauty often makes people feel dull, because whether she looks at people or speaks, she always gives people a boring coldness like plain boiled water.

    Jiao Yu was used to Ba Yuqing's coldness since she was a child, and she never felt that there was anything wrong with her talking like this.

    Hearing Ba Yuqing ask her, she quickly told her why she came, then looked at her pitifully, and asked her to accompany her to participate in the activities.

    Ba Yuqing frowned, and originally wanted to refuse, but after meeting her friend's pitiful eyes, she reluctantly agreed.

    Immediately, Jiao Yu clenched his fist and said excitedly, "Okay, then you can rest for a while, and we will go online again at about 20 o'clock."

    After finishing speaking, she didn't leave, moved a chair and sat down, just like the door god, guarding the door of Ba Yuqing's single dormitory.

    Ba Yuqing: "..."

    Accustomed to Jiao Yu's occasional suffocating operations, Ba Yuqing didn't think her behavior was strange.

    Anyway...the two of them are weird in the eyes of others, and they just happened to play together.

    Putting aside all distracting thoughts, Ba Yuqing rested for half an hour. After recovering, she opened her eyes and said without delay: "Go, log in to the Holographic Mall."

    Ba Yuqing is such a person, he will do what he says.

    Since promised Jiao Yu to go to the Starlight Plaza to participate in the activities together, it will not make people anxious if they procrastinate.

    When they came to Star Plaza, the two turned their heads and found that the four avenues 355, 356, 357, and 358 were already crowded with people.

    The bustling crowd looked terrifying, and almost made Ba Yuqing, who didn't like to join in the fun, turn around and run away. Fortunately, she was pulled back by Jiao Yu, who had been prepared.

    "Don't run, don't run, it will be fast, just wait another 15 minutes." Jiao Yu couldn't help comforting him.

    But these words not only did not comfort Ba Yuqing, but made her suddenly regret that she dared to agree to Jiao Yu's invitation without asking anything clearly.

    15 minutes, and she still has to squeeze with others for 15 minutes in this state?

    Ba Yuqing only struggled for a second, and then turned on the Do Not Disturb mode.

    However

    No, still no, why has it been no good?

    Ba Yuqing was stunned, she turned her head to Jiao Yu and said, "Xiao Yu, the browsing mode of Xingwang Mall seems to be broken."

    Can't even turn on Do Not Disturb.

    Jiao Yu was surprised: "Huh? Broken?"

    However, before she could investigate, an enthusiastic little elder sister giggled and said, "Hey, sisters, don't be afraid, it's not that the browsing mode of Starnet Mall is broken, but that several nearby blocks have been set to normal mode."

    As soon as her words came out, many people behind her echoed her.

    "Yeah, I asked the customer service just now, and the customer service of Xingwang Mall said that such a mode is usually set up for large-scale interactive activities, and tourists cannot change it unless we can find an event contractor, oh, that is, thank you boss, only thank youOnly the boss has the right to change it."

    "So don't think about it, the event hasn't started yet. How can we find Boss Xie! Let's talk about it when the event starts. Now let's wait quietly. It's not a big deal, just squeeze in for a while... But don't say itThis feeling of extreme overcrowding can’t be experienced anywhere else.”

    "To be honest, I don't care if it's crowded or not. I just want to know how big Star Plaza is? Can the space inside accommodate so many of us?"

    "Uh, it should be possible, right? Didn't it mean that after leasing a large plaza, Xingwang Mall will give a certain percentage of space expansion permissions?"

    "..."

    Seeing more and more crowds, many people began to worry about the capacity of Star Plaza.

    If this square can only accommodate tens of thousands of people, then most of the people here will be miserable, because they may not even have the possibility to enter.

    Even if the limited time provided by Starnet Mall is used to expand the maximum amount of space, it is estimated that the expanded space can only accommodate most people, and a small number of people may not be able to participate in the event.

    The only prerequisite for everyone to participate in the event is that Boss Xie paid a lot of money to purchase a full set of space expansion services.

    Listening to the discussion in the crowd, Ba Yuqing was very surprised.

    It turns out that Starnet Mall still has such restrictions?

    Why has she never heard of it before?

    Where do they come from for these restrictions and treatment methods?

    Jiao Yu said indifferently: "Maybe it's because I checked the regulations of Starnet Mall. Anyway, since we became fans of Boss Xie, we are used to go and look up various regulations."

    After finishing speaking, she said happily again: "Oh, let's not talk about this card, Qingqing, let's go forward quickly, the fog in front seems to be clearing up, let's squeeze through."

    The hologram can't squeeze out the problem, so everyone squeezed forward like sardines, even pushing Ba Yuqing who didn't want to move.

    When the time came to 19:50, the thick fog surrounding the corner of the Starlight Plaza dissipated, and the netizens who were facing this direction couldn't help screaming.

    At this time, everyone suddenly discovered that what was isolated by the thick fog turned out to be an ancient city with dim lights.

    I saw a moat surrounded by countless lotus lanterns outside the ancient city. The moat surrounded the entire city. Only a wooden suspension bridge for ten horses was placed at the gate of the city.Soldiers with heavy swords.

    The solemn and solemn atmosphere of the ancient city makes the surrounding noise disappear instantly.

    Everyone's eyes seemed to be insufficient, and they all stared at the bustling ancient city.

    Bold people want to go in, but when they get to the dense fog area, they find that they can't get in.

    At this time, the announcement of the Earth Business Company appeared in the air, and the fluorescent green font was eye-catching and dazzling in the dark.

    [Earth Trading Company: All players who intend to participate in the Lantern Festival event are requested to draw their city entry number. This number is the city entry sequence number and also the player's identity number. Once clicked to confirm, a stamp will be generated on the back of the left hand. Click on the stamp to view the stamp collectionAtlas and stamp collection information, if you collect certain stamps (stamped stamps), you can exchange them for exquisite prizes, rich prizes are waiting for you~]

    The announcement stood still in the night sky called "Little Chang'an City", but the lottery balls appeared densely over the crowd.

    When she reached out her hand and touched the lottery ball, Ba Yuqing got a very smooth number [789].

    After getting the number, everyone started to line up according to the number.

    When queuing, the number of TA will appear above everyone's head, so that it is convenient for everyone to adjust.

    According to the serial number, Ba Yuqing's position is fairly high. After all, [789] is still within three digits.

    And Jiao Yu who came with her was terrible, she actually took the number [1], that is to say - she was about to become the first player to enter Little Chang'an City.

    The two made an appointment to wait at the gate of the city after entering the city, and then entered the queue.

    Although the ten-minute queuing time does not allow everyone to line up, it also makes the surroundings orderly.

    20:00:00 The event officially begins.

    Jiao Yu, who was at the top of the queue, stepped onto the wooden suspension bridge curiously and apprehensively. When she passed the group of heroic knight NPCs, she even stopped to look at them a few times before leaving satisfied.

    After entering Chang'an City, Jiao Yu's mouth was exaggerated, and her eyes were round, looking at everything in front of her with fascination.

    The trees and silver flowers close together, and the iron lock of the star bridge opens.②

    The stars are dotted, the moon is like gauze, in the dark night, apart from the stars and the moon, there are also lights hanging on the trees. In the night, the flames are gorgeous and brilliant, reflecting this city like a fairyland of Yaotai that can only appear in a dream.

    The people who came in couldn't walk, and they were all crowded at the gate of the city, blocking the normal way into the city.

    But apparently, the owner of this city had expected such a situation, so when everyone was still in a daze, the heroic and majestic soldiers came with spears and led them away from the gate of the city.

    Under the serious eyes of the npc soldiers, Jiao Yu suddenly thought of his friends.

    So she bid farewell to those who couldn't wait to enter the city, squatted in a hidden corner that was not easy to be found, and waited patiently for Ba Yuqing's arrival.

    When she saw that everyone who entered the city opened their mouths and was chased away by the soldiers, she covered her mouth unkindly and sniggered.

    When she saw Ba Yuqing, before the soldiers chased them away, she ran over and pulled her away.

    Little Chang'an City is an extremely lively "ancient city".

    Here, there are all the antique things.

    Buildings, commodities, people, NPCs, games, riddles...

    All the players who have entered Chang'an City, none of them are willing to start doing tasks right away. Everyone is like an ordinary tourist. After entering here, they keep "clicking" to take pictures, and then happily send these group photos to the circle of friends, enjoying the envy of everyoneJealousy!

    After a long time, they realized that they were not here to take pictures but to do activities, so they ran to the commercial streets with countless colored silks and lanterns.

    There are quite a few stall owners on the commercial street, some of them are intelligent npcs, and the other are real people.

    These real-life stall owners are also very interesting. They are work-study students. Because of their young age, their personalities are generally simple and lively.

    And because they have received training, they are sometimes very cute when they talk and do things. People look at them and feel that they are different from the interstellar people, and they are real traders in Chang'an City!

    The hawker in front of Jiao Yu and Ba Yuqing is like this.

    He was wearing the taupe bunt uniforms worn by the hawkers, and then he showed them the bamboo hoop in his hand with a smile: "Hello, guest officer, this is the hoop activity point. According to the rules of the game, you can start from myBuy rings here for ringing activities, and the items caught by the rings will belong to you. A small investment will return a lot, 2 star coins for a ring, 10 star coins for 6 rings, how many rings do you want??”

    Ba Yuqing didn't speak, while Jiao Yu directly asked for 20 star coins and 12 circles.

    After buying the circles, she didn't vote. Instead, she handed all the circles to Ba Yuqing, then walked aside consciously, and said to her best friend with bright eyes, "Come on, Qingqing, we want a treasure box!"

    The loud tone made the person next to him who tried to set up the treasure box but failed one after another couldn't help but burst out laughing.

    Everyone knows that treasure boxes are good, but treasure boxes are too difficult!

    The location is so far away, the angle is so biased, and the circle is so small, the only ones who can fit in it are talents!

    However, Ba Yuqing is really a talent.

    She is exercising hard every day, and she naturally has the ability to exercise her fine control.

    Although she has never played this game, some things have the same principles, so after wasting 2 circles, she got it.

    After winning the treasure box, the peddler at the game point also took out a box of stamps from behind with a smile on his face for them to draw.

    Ba Yuqing asked Jiao Yu to go up and draw a seal, and then the vendor stamped it on the place where Bayuqing's left handprint was stamped.

    Ba Yuqing calmly clicked on the stamp, and then saw that a stamp book in the blank book of stamps lit up.

    Although it was just a small game, Ba Yuqing was inexplicably happy seeing the stamp book being lit up.

    Put the rings again, and the next 9 rings are all set on the treasure box.

    In the end, she and Jiao Yu divided the points, and each made 5 stamps. When she wanted to continue playing, the vendor said regretfully: "I'm sorry, little elder sister, you have already collected the maximum number of stamps that can be collected at this booth.", so you can't continue playing."

    Jiao Yu & Ba Yuqing:?

    Jiao Yu said anxiously: "Then what if we don't put the treasure box and just put other small things?"

    The young trader scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "That's not okay, you can only go to other places to get other small things now."

    After speaking, he immediately encouraged: "But you don't have to worry, there are a lot of game points here, and the prizes of the game points have a certain degree of overlap."

    Hearing this, the two left depressed.

    Walking aimlessly along the river in the city, when they came to the noisy city of lights through a small path, they found that it was as gorgeous as a place where stars fell.

    Dongfeng puts flowers and thousands of trees at night.Even blowing down, the stars are like rain.BMW carving cars are fragrant all over the road.The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night.③

    The commercial street, which is obviously the main road, is countless times more prosperous than the commercial trail they were on before.

    The streets are full of fiery trees and silver flowers, and occasionally there are fragrant cars and BMWs on the pristine bluestone roads. The melodious sound of silk and bamboo coming from the restaurants makes this already lively market even more lively.

    Wearing antique robes, literati walking around with their servants, big princes hugging and shouting, big ladies with their mothers and maidservants, Xiaojiabiyu...

    Stepping here is like stepping into another wonderful world.

    Even though they had no extra expressions, their bright eyes let people understand their eagerness at once.
