The next day, when the players went online again, they received a new system notification.
[Ding! Online update package has been automatically downloaded.]
It had only been a few days, and there was already an update? And it was an online update!
Looking at the download progress bar moving slowly, the players waited excitedly, and the fast ones had already taken screenshots and posted them on the forum to attract attention.
[Ding! Update package has been downloaded and installed. The content of the update is as follows.]
[Addition 1: Self-made Apparel Function.]
[Self-made Apparel Function: Players can design their own apparel. After placing the blueprint and materials in the designated location, the apparel maker will automatically produce the finished apparel according to the player's figure. Each use costs 100 Diamond Coins.]
[Addition 2: Traditional Apparel Collection Event.]
[Event Duration: From now until June 30th.]
[Content: During the event, complete missions in the five main cities of the Roland Empire, and obtain an activity box on top of the original mission reward. There is also a chance of it dropping from killing interstellar beasts near the main cities.
Opening the activity box will give you a blueprint of the local traditional apparel part. The activity box is divided into eight qualities: wood, iron, copper, silver, gold, epic, legendary, and mythical.
There is one to five sets of apparel of each quality.
Boxes of the same quality can be stacked infinitely, and can be traded between players.
Boxes of silver quality and lower can be opened freely. Boxes of silver quality and above require a certain amount of Diamond Coins to open, which are 10, 100, 1,000, and 10000.
Collecting different apparel will allow you to light up different achievement badges and obtain corresponding achievement rewards.
Note: Second modification of the costume blueprint is supported. Players are welcome to use their imagination. The game team will hold a selection event on the Starry Sky Forum.]
At the same time, a slightly classical book slowly appeared in front of every player. The book had the words "Records of Roland's Scenery" written in gold.
After opening it, one could see sets of apparel that had not been lit up. Wood, iron, and bronze were basically civilian apparel. Starting from silver quality, the apparel gradually became more luxurious.
As for mythical quality, it could no longer be described as luxurious. Just the unlit grayish-white blueprint gave people a sacred and elegant feeling.
The mythical achievement reward made many players drool on the spot — it was a clue about the mythical equipment part!
In front of this reward, a large amount of reputation and experience points were not worth mentioning.
However, this was only the reward for collecting five sets of mythical quality apparel. There was an even more ultimate achievement —
The achievement of collecting all five main cities' high quality clothing.
It was the clothing of the five main cities. Collecting a set of clothing of each quality would light up the badge of "Roland Empire Aristocrat".
After receiving the badge, on the basis of a large amount of Reputation and EXP, the player could be granted the title of Baron of Roland by His Majesty the Emperor and a piece of land in any main city.
Noble title? A piece of land?
Was the Star Age a land wholesaler? Using land as a reward for no reason.
Many players couldn't help but complain.
Of course, even though they were complaining, the reward was still very tempting.
After all, even though the City of the Brave was under construction and everyone would have a piece of land by then, it was still incomparable to the five main cities.
Especially the land of the Imperial City. Just by saying it out loud, how much face would he have?
Moreover, being neighbors with NPCs would increase the chances of triggering quests!
If they lived near the Royal Palace, it would be even worse. Those who came in and out of the palace were all high-level NPCs, and they would be in contact with the upper class of Roland.
Everyone could see that this achievement was not meant for normal players. Only God Tycoons had the opportunity to obtain it.
After all, five sets of Mythical quality clothing would require at least five Mythical quality boxes, right? One Mythical box cost 10,000 Diamond Coins, so five boxes would cost a total of 5,000 Diamond Coins.
Not to mention, the boxes only contained clothing parts. If the hairstyle, top, bottom, and shoes were all separated, then one box would not contain a complete set.
It would cost at least 20,000 to 30,000 Diamond Coins to collect all five sets.
[I've wronged the lousy producers. It's impossible not to earn money, they just have to find ways to earn it.]
[F * ck, my 100,000 Diamond Coins is not even enough to spend.]
[Didn't any of you notice that the boxes only contained blueprints? Only blueprints and not actual items can light up the badge?]
[F * ck! Then we have to buy materials to make it?]
[Hahahahaha, this event has the flavor of a traditional online game.]
Although that was what they said, some players had already started to try out the new self-made clothing function. After all, there were more female players at this stage, and this function was very attractive to female players.
As a qualified streamer, Araiko also started a live broadcast to try out the game.
She followed the game's instructions and clicked on the newly added clothing maker in the lower right corner of the game interface. A transparent screen appeared in front of her.
There were only three options on the screen: design, materials, and production.
She roughly studied them.
The design could be drawn online or imported from the outside. There was a booklet next to it, and one could see the existing blueprints by clicking on it.
Araiko chose to draw online and was ready to try it out.
She chose the brush tool, and a pencil appeared in her hand. She casually drew a half-dress on the blank panel and clicked Complete.
Then, something magical happened.
The game system had automatically corrected the drawing according to her figure and generated a 3D simulation drawing!
At the same time, the options of cutting and sewing appeared on the panel. The first three basic options were free, and after selecting them, different details would immediately appear on the 3D simulation.
"Damn, this is so fun!"
Araiko's eyes lit up.
She had just casually drawn a few strokes and didn't really put much thought into it. She didn't expect that after correcting and selecting different cutting and sewing methods, the dress would immediately look good!
[66666, this is turning something rotten into something magical!]
[F * ck, this is the dress that the streamer just drew? I don't believe it!]
[Maybe the 3D image is just good, but the finished product is just average?]
[Araiko, hurry up and continue! I want to see the finished product!]
Araiko nodded, confirmed the draft and named it Simple Half-Dress. Then, a blueprint appeared in her booklet.
After that, she clicked on the materials option.
She could add materials by herself or use the materials provided by the system. However, the system only provided four types of fabrics for free: coarse cloth, linen, nylon, and polyester.
As for the other materials, she could buy them from the system store.
Araiko chose linen. After clicking Confirm, she received a system message reminding her that a new item had appeared in the material bag.
She opened the bag and found that there was an extra piece of linen in it. It showed that it was bound and could not be traded.
Soon, under the prompt of the bullet screen, Araiko found that there was a color option.
After she clicked on it, a color palette appeared in her hand.
Similarly, there were ten types of free basic paints. She could use single colors, mixed colors, or the paints that she had prepared in her bag.
Her piece of linen was already spread out in front of her, waiting for her to color it.
Araiko had learned how to draw, so she was no stranger to color mixing.
She replaced the pencil in her hand with a paintbrush, then dipped it in yellow and white and mixed it into a very gentle light yellow color. When she touched the linen with the paintbrush, a new option appeared.
[Automatic Rendering]
[1. Pure Color] [2. Gradient]
[3. Grid] [4. Stripes]
She curiously chose Gradient, and then an operation interface appeared where she could set the strength and starting point of the gradient. She could also return to normal even if she dyed the cloth.
If she did not choose Automatic Rendering, she could dye it herself.
What was more convenient was that manual rendering did not only require a paintbrush. In addition to brushes of various sizes, she could also soak it in a dye vat like traditional dyeing.
Of course, there were only a few free tools. She would have to pay for the rest.
In the end, Araiko was lazy and chose Automatic Rendering. After dyeing the linen with Gradient, she obtained a piece of dyed linen.
From the interface of her bag, she could see that the cloth had changed color. She then took the cloth out.
"This texture is no different from real cloth!"
[Finished product, finished product, I want to see the finished product!]
[Gkdgkd! I'll throw you a rocket!]
Araiko could only stop looking and put the linen back into the material bag. Then she returned to the main interface of the garment maker and clicked Make.
A new page popped up. She followed the instructions and selected the design. Then she dragged the materials she wanted to use into the material slot and clicked Start.
In less than a minute, the system notified her that the garment was a success.
In her wardrobe, there was a newly made light yellow linen dress. Like the design, it was named "Simple Dress."
Araiko could not wait to try it on.
Then she found that...
Not only did it fit perfectly, but it also looked unexpectedly good!
[Ahhhhhh, this function is amazing! I want it so much ahhhhhh!]
[F * ck, I took a screenshot of the design the streamer drew at the beginning. You're telling me it's the same dress?]
[Star Age YYDS hit my girlish heart perfectly. Ahhhh, I can play with this for a year!]
[So when will the second batch of game cabins be released? The collection activity only lasts half a year. 5555, I want the design. I want to play with the custom-made apparel 5555]
At this time, the more active players had already completed their daily missions and successfully obtained the activity boxes. They also posted feedback on the forum.
"Stupid game designer, can you make this activity more difficult? The activity boxes can be traded, but the design is bound to the player! How many boxes do I have to open to get one set? "
Once the post was posted, it became a hot topic in less than a few minutes.
It turned out that, just as the players had guessed, a set of blueprints was divided into many parts.
According to the feedback on the post, in addition to the four main parts, there were also earrings, necklaces, backpacks, and so on. Whether there were any depended on the traditional outfit.
As a Mythical-quality equipment set, there were simply too many parts.
And this wasn't the worst part. What was worse was that after the activity boxes were opened, the blueprints would be directly entered into the design book. You couldn't take them out even if you wanted to.
In other words, even if you wanted to challenge this activity, you could only open the boxes until all the blueprints were opened. And the repeated blueprints would be repeated.
But according to the content of the activity, it seemed that the repeated blueprints could be used for a second modification. This would have to be experimented with later.
The only good thing was that after the blueprints were entered into the design book, the icon on the Roland Record of Scenery would light up. It didn't have to light up after the blueprints were created.
[But, am I the only one who thinks that these traditional outfits look good?]
[Hahahahaha, I thought that a hundred outfits weren't enough. It's so embarrassing to wear the same outfit on the road! Although people used to play 2D games everywhere, it feels different in a holographic game.]
[Yes, it's perfect now! I've already started to modify the blueprints!]
[Look at the server announcement, someone has already collected a full set of scenery outfits!]
[Damn, that's so fast.]
[Yes, that person posted that it's an iron quality set from Lanyue City. And every set seems to have a story behind it. The first person to collect all of them will get a related hidden mission.]
[Damn, I'll go and farm daily missions! I was kicked out by Legio VI.]
For ordinary players, this activity was quite friendly. Just collecting the wood, iron, copper, and silver sets was enough to keep them busy for a while.
The corresponding achievement rewards were also quite good, not to mention the hidden mission.
Of course, the price of the gold quality sets was also quite good. One gold box only cost 10 diamond coins to open.
Opening a few hundred gold boxes would only cost a few hundred dollars in real life, which was still affordable for most players.
As for the higher levels, there was no need to worry about not having enough players.
After all, the game cabins were so expensive. Among the 100,000 players in the open beta, there was still a large proportion of rich players.
So it was very likely that the end result would be the same as the Ai Snow Coins. Even if they had the money, they wouldn't be able to collect enough activity boxes!
This directly led to the players, whether it was the open beta players or the cloud players, wanting the second batch of game cabins to be released. There were even more people looking forward to the cheaper game helmet.
They could sacrifice a bit of the game experience, but they really wanted to play Star Age!
Xu Yuheng saw the players' demands. In fact, he also had a headache about increasing the production capacity of the game cabins.
Because of the large increase in orders, he was already preparing for a new factory, but it was not something that could be built in a short period of time.
Originally, because of the lack of funds, he could not open too many factories, so he wanted to go the high-end route.
The price of 100,000 game cabins was quite risky in the Chinese market where games that cost a few thousand were considered expensive.
He did not expect the game to be so popular at the start of the open beta. Now, the backlog of orders was as many as 700,000 units, which far exceeded the capacity of the existing factory.
Fortunately, he still had the financial support of the Yin family and Yin Hong's help. As long as he could hold on for a while, he should be able to relax.
Xu Yuheng was still optimistic about this.
As for the foreign companies that kept coming to him to seek cooperation, he did not care about them at all.
So far, Star Age did not have plans to develop a foreign server, and it could not develop because Star Age only had one server.
Anyway, he would not consider foreign players for the time being. He could not be sure about the future, but he was sure that even if he did open up a proxy, he would not take care of them too much.
In the game, Xu Sili could clearly feel that the players who participated in the battle today were a lot more excited.
He paid some attention and heard their discussion about the new event.
The game team finally made a move, which was within his expectations. After all, he was an NPC, so he could not arrange every event.
When he returned to Imperial City after the battle, he received a reminder from Xu Yuheng.
He did not say much, but he posted the content of the event and the rewards that every player could receive, and told him to do as he saw fit.
Xu Sili looked at it and understood what he meant.
Second Brother probably already knew that he could issue missions. In order to prevent the mission rewards he provided from overlapping with the official event rewards or weakening the attractiveness of the rewards, he reminded him.
He made a mental note of this.
All in all, the land and noble titles in the main city could not be given out casually.
He replied to Second Brother and told him that he understood. Then, he prepared to continue arranging the illusion cards with Si Sheng. However, before he left the palace, he heard Li Zheyu's report.
"Your Majesty, we just caught an assassin in the palace."
Xu Sili raised his eyebrows and heard him continue, "The assassin seems to be … an elf."
