Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 336

"Let's not ask. Who knows if they'll try to steal our opportunity if they find out? Who cares if it's a dungeon or not, let's go find it first."

So, the sixteen people, drawing upon their lifelong respect for knowledge, dug up every piece of knowledge they had about light from elementary school to university, and even consulted online for calculations they didn't understand. Finally, they obtained the approximate coordinates of the mountain and then split into four groups to head there.

Because the coordinates were still quite far away, they were worried that one group wouldn't be able to get there. Utilizing the team teleportation feature to continuously extend their journey, they actually found the mountain.

"My mech marshal, just how big is the ocean map? Why have we been traveling for so long?"

"Look everyone, my mecha grand marshal! What kind of secret realm is this? It's an eye-opener for me."

Just as one teammate ahead was marveling at the vastness of the ocean, another teammate saw clouds suddenly rise from the sea, revealing an incredibly majestic mountain. A mountain itself wasn't surprising; interstellar dwellers, having seen countless planets, rarely paid much attention to a mountain on one.

But the mountain was filled with white cranes, and various magnificent buildings shimmered with golden light in the sunlight, dazzling even from a distance. If it weren't for the clouds obscuring the view, one can only imagine how much the light would attract.

"Quickly, send everyone out!"

The teammates who arrived later were worried about the long and arduous journey, so they bought a lot of spiritual herbs from the auction house. Now that the two pagodas and the Underworld are open, along with various secret realms and life management quests, spiritual herbs are not as scarce as before.

"Let's go! We'll be the first team to see through the mirage."

As they drew near, a refreshing scent wafted out, a blend of pine resin and maple aroma. The sixteen of them had arrived here in a grand procession, never expecting their first reward to be the air here—it smelled absolutely wonderful.

Then came the calls of cranes. We had seen many cranes before, but as we got closer, they became fewer. Listening carefully, we realized they were all flying in the clouds. Occasionally a few would descend, making everyone's eyes water with envy.

If only we could catch these birds...

One of the combat players summoned the most powerful fighting fairy, Bamboo Fairy, and flew into the air, shouting, "Family, I'll go first, hahaha!"

As he spoke, he chased after the crane that had just flown down, taking out various nets for the bamboo fairy to use. His teammates were stunned, "You actually carried nets!"

"That's what you call being prepared. You guys still don't interact with Qingfengyi's NPCs enough."

The first crane flew away, and the player missed. But no worries, the player steered a small boat towards the clouds and discovered many cranes above!

The scenery here is exceptionally beautiful, quite different from the view of the fairy mountain seen from the sea. In the distance is the sun, nearby are clouds, and countless cranes soar. Following them, we discovered that the cranes live at the highest point of the fairy mountain, where there are many pine and maple trees, beneath which are jagged rocks, and between which flows a stream?

Orchids and aquatic flowers bloom along the stream, and occasionally a pond appears where goldfish swim. These goldfish are multicolored, and sometimes they leap into the next pond, creating splashes that refract beautiful rainbows. Just looking at this scenery makes you feel like you could sit here forever; it's truly beautiful.

For a moment, he forgot why he had flown up there, staring blankly until a crane brushed past his face and cried out, snapping him out of his daze. He quickly shouted in the team channel, "Clouds! Come quick, the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life!"

Everyone was startled by his shout and quickly flew up to see what was happening.

Startled by the arrival of outsiders, the cranes all flew out of their nests. For a moment, the only sounds in the space were the cranes' cries and the flapping of their wings, a truly awe-inspiring sight. Occasionally, the sound of distant waves could be heard, making the place seem even more ethereal and otherworldly.

The goldfish in the tiered pools on the mountain have become still.

Then, the scene of finding the fairy mountain appears:

A crane was sleeping soundly in its nest when the sudden flapping of its wings woke it. Looking up, it saw everyone had flown away and, somewhat flustered, began to flap its wings as well. However, in its haste, it tripped over a pine branch in front of its nest and nearly fell into the pond below. Fortunately, its flying ability was exceptional, and it managed to get up. It did take flight, but then it saw a delicious goldfish swimming freely in the pond.

So it decisively flew down to catch the goldfish.

At this moment, the cutscene ended, and the sixteen players' gazes were directly fixed on the crane that had flown down to catch fish. The presence of those sixteen pairs of eyes was quite striking; the crane didn't even lower its beak before turning its head to look. Seeing a large group of outsiders, it was terrified!

The crane's wings abruptly turned, one corner plunging into the water and splashing water everywhere. At that moment, the goldfish suddenly flew up, pinned the crane to the water, and bit it.

This scene stunned the players. After regaining their senses, the team leader asked, "Who turned on the camera! Who turned on the camera!"

"Captain, don't speak. Your voice ruins the beauty of my shot and destroys this perfect picture."

"I've opened it too, I'll share it later."

"You can share it, but this white crane is mine!"

The last player was the one chasing after the crane; he dashed over in a flash. The crane had to be rescued!

"My dear bird, don't be afraid, your hero has come!"

Before anyone could reach them, two cranes flew over, grabbed the goldfish in the water, and lifted it upwards, their long beaks pecking at the fish. The goldfish arched its back, flicked its tail, and tried to swat at the beaks, but the cranes pecked with tremendous force. In the blink of an eye, several scales fell into the water, along with fresh blood. The blood was so bright red it seemed to engulf the entire pond, and the sunlight and the reflections of the clouds added a golden, holy glow to the red. At that moment, everyone was astonished. Why could red highlight white and gold, and why could white and gold make red even redder and more vibrant?

The players who rushed out were dumbfounded. What was going on?

The player in the team who loved fish was on the verge of tears, crying out, "My darling! I'm here to save you!"

The captain watched as yet another person rushed out, unsure whether he should call a halt.

A few people who were just there for the spectacle and wanted to take advantage of the situation also rushed in. The remaining hesitant and undecided people saw that everyone else was rushing in, so they left as well.

In the end, only the team leader was left bewildered in the wind. She called out, "Everyone, wait a minute, don't rush..."

Suddenly, another strange event occurred. A golden dragon swooped down from above, its roar stunning the two cranes. All three cranes fell into the water, and the player who had been capturing them immediately rushed over, shielding them with his body, shouting, "Don't you dare bully my birds!"

Another person who likes goldfish put the goldfish into a white porcelain fish tank. It's unclear why she carried a fish tank in her backpack.

It's fair to say that players really have everything.

Furthermore, the huge backpack slots provided by Qingfengyi give players the capital to be arrogant.

"Don't you dare bully my fish!"
