Time always passes quickly when you don't have to live a stressful life.
There was a gap of one and a half months between the group qualifiers and the Royal Tomb Strongest Tournament. During this month and a half, each team took a short break. In the first month, they basically returned to their previous routines, and only in the last half month did they gradually begin to tighten their policies.
The preliminary group stage selected sixteen teams from the vast number of registered teams. These sixteen teams all possess a certain level of popularity and technical proficiency, and the players all have some audience appeal. Therefore, the Wangling Strong Tournament will be much richer than the previous group qualifiers, with many additional personal interviews, guessing games, quick questions, and footage of a daily life of professional players, etc., in order to leverage this audience appeal to increase the fun of the competition and gain popularity.
Correspondingly, the secret competition between the major teams also began.
Since the characters in Wang Ling are so realistic, they are closely related to the real-life images of the players. Therefore, in addition to maintaining their image in daily life, managing their character image has also become a major issue.
Early in the morning, He Youjin rushed in from the club's door like a screaming chicken.
"Meeting, meeting!"
The five confused Polaris members were gathered in the conference room.
"This is very important! Everyone, cheer up!" He Youjin got a pointer from somewhere and banged it on the table. "I've decided to follow the example of our brother team, the Sabretooths! I'm going to print out all your game characters and make them into photo albums and body pillows for sale. Also, we're required to provide a vlog of the players' game characters in action. We'll use it as material for the trailer. The more handsome and pretentious the better!"
He finished speaking in one breath, and the group of people sitting below fell silent for a few seconds, then collapsed like deflated balloons.
"Oh, that's it!"
"Our team definitely wins in terms of handsomeness, right?"
"Just taking some photos. I may be fat, but I have a pretty good sense of the camera!"
He Youjin: "..."
The nonchalant attitude of this group of people made a "well" character appear on his forehead.
"There's a limit to narcissism, you guys!!" he roared. "And haven't you heard that Buddha relies on gold and people rely on clothes? I hope you can wear the best appearances on your accounts! Otherwise, if everyone is wearing their original appearances and put together with other teams, they will look like savages or rag collectors, which will be embarrassing!!!"
"But based on my experience, most players who wear the original appearance are high-level players." Lin Mingfei said, "For example, me."
"Get out of here!" He Youjin said.
"Oh, I won't be sleepy if you want to talk about outfits." Shi Ya suddenly smiled: "I have hundreds of looks in my warehouse, both ready-made and loose pieces. Do you want abstinence or sexiness? Style, just one word!"
Zhou Yanjun studied He Youjin's expression and said quietly, "I guess he wants an outfit that's beautiful, cool, and eye-catching, but not too similar to others and won't make people want to commit a crime if they see him."
Shi Ya's face suddenly became wooden: "Oh, then I can't do that."
Xia Tong touched her nose and whispered, "I don't think I've ever bought any appearances! The one I'm wearing in the game is the cape that Zero sewed for me before!"
"What?!" Zhou Yanjun and Shi Yahuo acted as if they had just heard some unbelievable fairy tale. "You've been playing this holographic game, Wang Ling, for so long, and you've managed to resist buying some cosmetic items???"
"I didn't hold back, I just felt that it was okay not to buy it..." Xia Tong was stunned by their question and answered hesitantly.
"Damn, your pretty face is wasted." Shi Ya reached out and pinched his tender cheeks: "Go buy it quickly. How much do you want to buy? How much do you want? Brother Shi Ya wants to see you play the holographic dress-up game. Brother Shi Ya will reimburse you!"
"But there seem to be so many designs, and I don't know what to buy." Xia Tong said.
"Hey, hey, hey! That's exactly what I was going to say!" He Youjin said excitedly, "Officials have just released a new clothing set. All the looks are pre-matched from head to toe! So stylish! It's not on sale yet, but pro players can get a limited number of internal beta test codes!"
"Hey! What's the point of a ready-made clothing set? The whole point of designing a look is to wear it and style it yourself!" Shi Ya said, "You said pro players can get beta test codes. I bet the Sabretooth team already has one. If we wear those, we'll look just like Sabretooth Team 2! How embarrassing!"
"Why? Why are we like Sabretooth Team 2, instead of Sabretooth being like Polaris Team 2?" Zhou Yanjun asked.
"I don't care who is in whose second team. I just don't like wearing the same clothes as others, and I don't like standing with others like nesting dolls." Shi Ya said with a roll of her eyes.
"You're so stupid, right? I didn't plan on giving you a trial code." He Youjin glared at him and said, "I specifically asked Fang Haoyang for a trial code for Xia Tong so that Xia Tong could try it."
Xia Tong: "Huh?"
He Youjin: "I copied it for you. It would be a waste if you don't wear it."
Lin Mingfei blinked at the side, then looked down at Weibo to find previews of Wang Ling's new clothing set. This set was likely a collaboration with some real-life fashion brand. It was a turquoise vintage trench coat, paired with high-heeled boots, a belt, and a matching hat. It was stylish and fashionable.
"I think it's pretty good, what do you think?" He nudged Xia Tong with his elbow and pushed the phone over to her.
Xia Tong took a look at it and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. "It's quite nice, so I'll accept it!"
"I'll change it when I get into the game later. It's a great time to do a livestream and attract some fans." He Youjin said, "You're an Omega, so the way you wear it will definitely feel different from those stinky Alphas. This is a unique feature of our Polaris! It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Stinky Alphas: “…”
At He Youjin's urging, Xia Tong readily entered the game. Then the other four were forced to join the game and start trying out outfits.
After entering the game, Xia Tong first started the live broadcast, and then followed the tutorial instructions to find the redemption code interface and entered the experience code that He Youjin had copied to him.
At this time, his friend's private chat channel received a new message.
[Sabertooth_Goblin: Hey Xia Xiaotong! Hurry up and open my equipment interface to see my new look!! This is a limited edition clothing gift box that the official company released in advance!! Not many people have it, it's super cool and stylish!!]
Polaris_BLink: I have one too. Manager He gave it to me. I got one.
【Sabertooth Tiger_Goblin: Ah, I see.】
[Sabertooth_Goblin: Your manager is quite capable...]
[Sabertooth_Goblin: Eh!! Doesn't that mean we can wear couple costumes?!]
Xia Tong blinked his eyes. In the past, he might not feel anything about such teasing, but now that he and Lin Mingfei have confirmed their relationship, he always feels that it is weird for others to claim to be "couples" with him.
So he turned around and sent a message to Lin Mingfei.
Polaris_BLink: Zero, Goblin said he wants to wear a couple's outfit with me. I'm here to tell you!
Polaris_Zero: Good boy.
A moment later, the goblin received a private message.
Polaris_Zero: I heard you want to wear couples outfits with our team's Omega? Believe it or not, I'll go to the Alliance right now and pay a high price to get a trial code so I can wear parent-child outfits with you.
[Sabertooth Tiger_Goblin: ...I'm your uncle! ! ]
They were all broadcasting live, and this wave of actions made the barrage area laugh.
[Hahahahahahahahahaha, this is so fucking sour!! There should be a limit to protecting your child! ]
【Hahahahahahahahahaha, you Z God are still you Z God, specializing in curing all kinds of dissatisfaction. 】
If Z-god really paid a high price for the trial code, then could the three of them dress like a family of three? [Funny]?
[Tongzi is from Team P! Sabertooth Tiger, retreat! ]
[It’s over, it’s over! I think I’ve hit it again! ! Jade Eyes must be real! ! !]
I really want to see Goose wearing a new look! Why has Goose only worn this same cape for so many years?!
[Ezi!! Mommy wants to top up your wardrobe!]
Blink's big eyes gave Polaris_BLink a big cruise ship.
......
Xia Tong had already received the gift of a ready-made clothing set in his mailbox. He right-clicked the gift box to open it, and several pieces of equipment were lined up in the warehouse. The thumbnails were all cyan, and there were tops, cloaks, bottoms, shoes, hats and decorative items, everything you could need.
Probably because Xia Tong is so cute, everyone is looking forward to his dress-up journey. A group of fans in the barrage area are looking forward to the unboxing of some good stuff. They are all very interested and keep sending barrages to urge him. In a short time, the number of people in the live broadcast room doubled.
[Ezi, hurry up and right-click to change your outfit!!! Mommy can’t wait any longer!!!]
[I can’t hold back my hands from taking a screenshot!!]
[Hey, what are you still hesitating about?! You look so good in this outfit! I'll stock up on twenty gift boxes and put them in the warehouse, waiting for them to appreciate in value!]
[Don't worry, goose! Even if it doesn't look good on you, you can just right-click it and take it off to return to your original look!]
【GKDGKD! I want to see Milky Eyes turn into a cool little guy! 】
Xia Tong thought about it and put on the hat, cloak, top and belt in order from top to bottom and from inside to outside.
The moment he put on his lower clothes, he vaguely felt that something was wrong. Then he recalled the image of the goblin just now and was stunned.
What looked like a pair of narrow trousers on the goblin now turned into a knee-length skirt on him!
