Everyone's Fashion Show! Even Empress Nuwa Went Wild!
Xuanming's "Shadowy Neon Robes" workshop, like a purple-gold star thrown into a calm lake, has rippled endlessly with fervor among female players in the Metaverse.
Zhurong's gym?
Luban's Mechanical Academy?
What is that? Will it make me get 100% attention on the street?
In an instant, all the female gamers were in an uproar.
They poured Lin Shen Coin they had painstakingly earned from mining, gathering herbs, and even "begging" their muscular partners into this sweet vortex called "fashion" without batting an eye.
"This 'Starlight Gauze Skirt' costs a thousand Lin Shen Coin? I'll buy it! So what if I have to stay up a few more nights mining!"
"What? The 'Moon Essence Flowing Robe' is a limited edition, and you need to enter a lottery? I don't care! I'm not sleeping tonight, I'm just standing in line at the door!"
"Teacher Xuanming! Teacher Xuanming, please look at me! Please help me see if this 'Queen of Thorns' outfit matches my purple eyes!"
The central city square is completely divided by two drastically different art styles.
On one side, at the entrance of Zhurong Gym, a group of muscular men, drenched in sweat, lifted stone weights, letting out beast-like roars, the air filled with the smell of masculinity and sweat.
On the other side, at the entrance of the "Shadowy Neon Robes" workshop, there was a huge crowd of female players with shining eyes, chattering away. The scene was more turbulent than any beast tide.
Looking at the chaotic, almost unreal scene opposite him, and then at the dwindling number of students on his side, Zhurong suddenly lost interest in the Roasted Sweet Potato in his mouth.
He felt as if he had once again been left behind by this era.
Xuanming, on the other hand, has become completely immersed in his new identity as the "fashion godfather".
He even developed an entirely new business.
--"Character customization" and "makeup".
With his unparalleled control over the Shadow Avenue, he makes the most subtle adjustments to the player's facial data.
Eyes not big enough? Get eyelid surgery.
Is your nose not prominent enough? Get a bridge implant.
Coupled with the virtual "cosmetics" he extracted from exotic flowers and herbs of the Primordial World, such as the "Peach Blossom Fairy" eyeshadow palette, the "Mermaid's Tear" highlighter, and the "Vampire's Kiss" lipstick...
Every product is designed to precisely target the hearts of female gamers.
The era of "Primordial Warmth" has truly arrived!
Xuanming's "Shadow Friends Circle" has thus ushered in a second spring.
It was no longer filled with weeping and complaining.
Instead, there was an overwhelming flood of selfies and outfit sharing.
Wow! This outfit is amazing! I need the link!
"This makeup is so cool! Did Teacher Xuanming do it himself? I'm so envious!"
"Sisters! I managed to snag the newly released 'Lolita Strawberry Sweetheart' outfit! I'm heading to the concert venue now to wait for God of Sound!"
Looking at the thriving scene in his WeChat Moments and the rapidly increasing numbers in his account, Xuanming smiled for the first time from the bottom of his heart.
Selling skirts seems to offer a better future than being Security Captain.
However, the peak of this fashion storm has not yet arrived.
It was Nuwa who lit the final fuse.
Feng Xi Mountain, Cute Sage Hall.
Nuwa was with Lin Shen, watching the "National Fashion Show" on the light screen with great interest.
When she saw each human girl undergo a transformation under Xuanming's hands, radiating a unique brilliance that was sometimes aloof, sometimes sweet, and sometimes alluring, a deep... interest appeared in the holy eyes that had created the entire race.
A mother's joy at seeing her daughters dressed up beautifully.
And, as a "woman," the most instinctive desire for beautiful things.
She wants to play too!
"Lin Shen."
A barely perceptible hint of joy was hidden in Nuwa's voice.
"My sister thinks that although their clothes are nice, it seems... something is missing."
Lin Shen looked up from a pile of virtual fashion illustrations and asked curiously, "What's missing?"
Nuwa lightly touched the void with her fingertip.
A drop of crystal-clear liquid of creation fell and instantly transformed into a colorful butterfly that danced gracefully.
The butterfly wasn't a physical object, yet it was incredibly lifelike, its wings fluttering and scattering glimmers of light.
"Where's our... moving little friend?!"
Nuwa's face revealed a smile that could captivate all living beings.
"Imagine if little butterflies like these could fly out of their skirts."
"If only a singing little phoenix could perch on their shoulders."
"If only their headdresses had a miniature dragon that could blow bubbles."
"Wouldn't that be even more fun?"
Lin Shen's eyes lit up instantly!
He wasn't surprised by the idea; rather, a business storm instantly swept through his mind!
Pet!
Dynamic widgets!
Isn't this the ultimate pay-to-win system from my past life's games?!
Moreover, this is a perfect match for Xuanming's fashion industry!
"Sister Nuwa, you are simply a business genius!"
Lin Shen slapped his thigh excitedly and said in a rapid-fire voice, "This isn't just fun! Think about it, these little pets are top-tier 'dynamic accessories' themselves! Pair the 'Starlight Gauze Skirt' with a Starlight Butterfly, and the 'Dark Armor' with a Ghost Wolf—wouldn't the price of that combination double?"
"Moreover, pets need to be 'dressed up' too! Pet houses, pet fashion, pet treats... this is another brand new industry!"
"We could even hold a 'Best Fashionable Pet' contest!"
Lin Shen became more and more excited as he spoke, Nuwa was also attracted by the blueprint he described, her beautiful eyes growing brighter and brighter.
She originally just thought it would be fun, but she didn't expect there to be so many intricacies involved.
"Okay! Let's do it this way!"
Nuwa's creative desire was completely ignited; her Sage majesty vanished at this moment, leaving only the pure joy of a young girl.
Without further hesitation, she immediately issued an announcement in the name of "Cute Saint" to the entire Metaverse, which drove all players crazy!
[Ding! 'Nuwa's Miracle Workshop' is open for a limited time!]
The 'Pet' system is officially launched!
Do you want a unique, adorable companion that can chat with you and even fight for you?
Starting now, players can bring their 'Pet Egg' (dropped from dungeons/obtained through events) to the 'Miracle Workshop' for a personal 'enlightenment' by the Empress Nuwa (her Sage incarnation)!
[Supreme Enlightenment (requires a massive amount of Lin Shen Coin): You can request the Empress Nuwa to customize a 'Divine Beast' level pet for you! Whether it's Mini Azure Dragon or Chibi Phoenix, there's nothing the Goddess can't create!]
This announcement, like a ray of Creator God light, illuminated every corner of the Metaverse!
Pet!
It can move!
It could be a mythical beast!
All players, regardless of gender, went into a frenzy!
Those girls who were crying one second because they couldn't get their hands on a limited-edition lipstick, the next second wiped away their tears, grabbed their weapons, and charged toward the nearest dungeon entrance with ferocious expressions.
"Don't try to take it from me! That 'Unicorn Rabbit' egg is mine! I want the Queen to sculpt a pink, flying rabbit for me to match my Lolita dress!"
Those muscular men who had just been sweating it out in the gym also threw away the stone weights they were holding, their eyes filled with longing for a "fighting partner".
"Brothers! Let's team up and farm the 'Abyssal Demon Wolf King'! If we get the wolf king egg, Laozi going to get a Cerberus, and then nobody will dare mess with me!"
In an instant, the style of the entire Metaverse changed drastically.
All players have plunged into this brand new frenzy called "Egg Hatching"!
The number of people at the entrance of Xuanming's "Shadowy Neon Robes" workshop has increased rather than decreased!
Countless female players waved their Lin Shen Coin and shouted at Xuanming.
"Teacher Xuanming! Did you hear about the new pet system? Hurry! Release pet costumes soon!"
"I just booked Your Majesty's 'Supreme Enlightenment' to create a Nine-Tailed Fox! Please design an outfit to match the Nine-Tailed Fox as soon as possible! I'll pay any price!"
"And pet collars! Pet backpacks! Hurry up!"
Xuanming stood in his crystal palace, watching this crazy scene. He was first stunned, but then, the flame of business rekindled in his deep eyes.
He understood.
The junior brother sent him another mountain of gold.
At the entrance of Nuwa's "Miracle Workshop," the queue was even longer than when the Three Pure Ones preached.
Nuwa looked at these "children" who were full of expectation, holding all sorts of Pet Egg, and a satisfied and loving smile appeared on her face.
She finally found her favorite game in this "new world".
Clay modeling, PLUS version!
