The first event after the opening of "Daydream Rewind" started in such a situation.
In addition, in the past few days, whether it is "Shan Hai Lu", "Taohuayuan", or "The Distance Between the Netherworld", either the activities have ended and are in the idle period, or the activity time has not yet arrived, so the StarCraft players who have nothing to do, even those who do not play "Daydream Backtracking", have all focused their attention on this game.
It seems like it wasn't that long ago when the first Shanhailu event instantly became a deity—and it certainly wasn't that long ago. In the forums related to the game, there's a saying that goes: You can always trust the game's event strategy.
Shi Yue, who was playing the CH production game for the first time, did a lot of homework before the event started, including some metaphysics of card drawing time, and also joined the "Daydream Recap" chat channel created by players.
On the day the game started, she logged on on time and found that the gifts given to players by CH in this first event were quite good, including five blind box props for drawing clothes.
Shi Yue was a little happy as she was concentrating on collecting the 'Red Line' item for drawing character cards.
To be honest, she actually liked the new clothes at the event. After all, which girl doesn’t like new and beautiful clothes? So after getting the blind box, she immediately took it to draw, and drew it one by one.
First item: Captain's coat
Second item: Captain-shoes
The third item: Mermaid-fishtail skirt
The fourth one...
Shi Yue's hand paused slightly when drawing the card. She was a little unsure whether her luck was good or bad. She took a look in the chat channel and found that other people didn't seem to be drawing clothes in the same way.
...It seems that they only get one part of the event set after ten consecutive draws, and they are considered very lucky if they get two at a time.
Shi Yue's mind flashed through the words that players often say when talking about showing off their luck.
——'Everyone's luck is limited. Whoever uses it up first will go first.'
Although this sentence is usually used to express disdain for others' good luck, Shi Yue has also experienced times when her luck was particularly good, but after that her luck would decline again. When she thought that her luck in this pool might affect her ability to draw from the character card pool, Shi Yue quickly stopped drawing from the costume pool and went to draw from the character pool first.
After this event started, "Daydream Recap" seemed to have changed the way of drawing cards specifically to match the event, changing the original plain mirror drawing card to... um... an immersive card drawing method?
The moment she confirmed the card draw, Shi Yue felt as if her whole body was suddenly wrapped in water, but she did not feel suffocated. She turned into a small fish.
The ordinary character cards that are drawn appear in the form of glowing transparent bubbles. If the player does not draw the special event character cards, then when he swims to the end, he will see an empty space behind the dense seaweed at the end, with nothing there.
If there were...it would be like what Shi Yue is seeing now.
She parted the luminous, transparent bubbles and swam through the dense seaweed ahead. On a flat rock behind the seaweed, she spotted a mermaid dozing lightly, a faint halo of light surrounding her. However, the arrival of the fish she had transformed into seemed to awaken the mermaid. With its eyes covered by a veil, the mermaid slowly sat up and gathered the fish that had swum beside her in her hands.
Shi Yue held her breath for a moment. After a while, when her consciousness returned to her body from the fish, she belatedly felt her face getting hot. She covered her face and muttered softly, "The mermaid... is wearing too little..."
Just drawing a card is so exciting, so entering the activity world must be so exciting that your blood pressure will suddenly rise!
However, being able to draw Pei Junhuai, the one she most wanted in the first ten consecutive draws, made Shi Yue realize for the first time that her luck did seem... a little better than others. In the previous game, when she'd gotten items from dungeons, she hadn't felt much of a difference. After all, dungeons were played in groups, and even the occasional good item dropped by herself wasn't as exciting as it was now.
Since he had drawn Pei Junhuai's event card, Shi Yue had no plans to draw anyone else's, so he went back to the clothing pool and drew all the remaining blind box props. After putting together a set of captain's suit, he put it on directly, and then couldn't wait to click on the event card to enter the event world.
It's similar to the backtracking function.
On the other hand, it just so happened that the game Shi Yue had played before also had a small event that required two players to bind together and complete tasks together to get all the rewards. Shi Yue had no one to play with particularly in such activities before, so he always teamed up with Huang He, who also had no one to team up with.
But today, Huang He waited and waited but Shi Yue didn't show up. He gradually became impatient and asked, "Where the hell is she?!"
The vice president next to him seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
"Adong, what do you know?" Huang He keenly noticed the vice president's reaction.
"Not really." The vice president rubbed his head. "President, didn't you notice that many of the girls in our guild weren't online today? Today is a special case, isn't it?"
Huang He: "? What special circumstances?"
The vice president said, "My sister told me that today is the first event for 'Daydream Rewind'—the new game made by that producer called CH. My sister and several other girls in our guild have taken leave to go there to participate in the event. But I don't know about Shi Shiyue either. Maybe it's something else?"
Huang He fell into deep thought.
Huang He asked, "What kind of game is that?"
The vice president was also puzzled. "Well...my sister didn't explain in detail. She just smiled and said nothing, letting me figure it out on my own."
While everyone here was at a loss, countless players of "Daydream Rewind" had already entered the world of sailing.
A tall ship was sailing on the calm sea, seagulls circling up and down, and the sails were filled with wind.
"Captain, we are now sailing towards the northeast corner where the northern chasm falls, at a medium speed. Lao Wei predicts that there will be a storm tonight." A wheat-skinned crew member who moved like an agile leopard jumped down from behind the mast and reported to Shi Yue, who had become a captain in this world.
Shi Yue, who had no experience as a captain, said: "...Then let's do as Lao Wei says."
The crew member paused for a moment, then smiled a healthy smile. "Got it, but the plankton is quite scattered in this weather. How about I lead a small fleet to fish around here?"
...So what is plankton?
Originally, I thought this activity world was just for playing that... well, when I was role-playing, Yue straightened his mind and learned about the general worldview of this world from the crew.
It is said that this moving world collapsed hundreds of years ago, and the sea water flowed back to flood the land, turning the entire continent into an ocean. The people who survived the disaster changed their lifestyles, and ships began to crisscross the sea. Humans built the few remaining artificial islands on the sea.
After the chasm collapsed, a kind of creature called plankton that was originally floating outside the chasm fell into the sea. The characteristics of this creature allow it to ignore gravity and float outside the chasm.
The fleet led by Captain Shi Yue is tasked with salvaging these floating organisms at sea, weaving them into a sky net, and letting the sky net support the collapsed natural barrier.
I guess this is what the event is about?
Shi Yue's attention was gradually attracted by the content of the activity, and she began to arrange the activities during the storm according to the activity prompts.
At this moment, she was wearing the captain's suit that she had drawn. The leather slim skirt had different lengths on both sides, neither reaching the knees. She wore trousers and boots underneath. There were many chains connecting the clothes, which really made her look like a dashing captain.
The night at sea came quickly, but a bright moon appeared opposite the sunset - even the NPCs in this activity world said that the moon should not appear in stormy weather, but for some reason, this moon was unusually bright.
"Secure the barrels and boxes, don't let me say anything more, and tie yourself to the boat! Otherwise, if you fall overboard, no one will come down to rescue you!" The crew member who introduced the activity world to Shi Yue skillfully arranged the activities on the deck.
The old sailor, known as Lao Wei, looked up at the other side of the sea and said, "The storm is coming."
Shi Yue also stabilized his body and looked in that direction.
The waves in the distance have been lifted up, and in the rolling waves, you can see spots of light drifting with the waves, which are floating.
The crew cast their nets in an orderly manner and began to catch the floating fish.
As the waves approached, the boat shook violently, and the waves splashed the sea water onto the boat. Shi Yue saw a fish as long as her arm bouncing vigorously on the deck.
"Is it true that the boat won't capsize in this condition?" Shi Yue was extremely worried, feeling that the boat might not be able to hold on.
"Don't worry, Captain. We have encountered at least eighty storms, if not a hundred. None of them has overwhelmed us." Lao Wei said calmly.
Since these NPCs were so sure, Shi Yue felt a little relieved. He watched the crew pour the light spots back into the boat one by one, and touched them curiously. He found that the light spots were like living things and were warm to the touch.
However, where did the mermaid version of the senior brother go? Why hasn’t he come out yet?
Shi Yue was thinking this as he followed the crew in casting nets to catch floating fish. After fishing for a while, he suddenly heard a crew member scream.
"Here! Looks like we caught a big one!"
"That's not right. What you caught wasn't a plankton at all. It was a..." Another crew member glanced over and his face suddenly changed. He quickly turned back and said, "It seems we caught a mermaid. What should we do?"
When the other crew members heard this, their expressions changed to varying degrees, and they seemed to be mainly on guard. They put down their nets, picked up weapons such as harpoons, and gathered over.
Shi Yue sensitively caught the word "mermaid" and quickly put down the net and ran over, pushing aside the crew and walking inside, looking down at the net still hanging outside the boat.
At first glance, you might think the net is capturing the moon.
Perhaps because of the night scene and the fishing nets, Shi Yue felt that the scene before her was even more stunning than what she saw at the bottom of the sea when she drew the card.
His wet hair was a little messy and stuck to his body. Half of the fish tail was still immersed in water, but his hands subconsciously grabbed the holes of the fishing net to stabilize his body. Perhaps because his eyes were blindfolded, he always made people feel that he seemed to have a kind of... wonderful fragility.
This has never happened to Pei Junhuai, who has always been gentle and decent, but it makes people feel that this is not bad.
It becomes palpable because of vulnerability.
"Oh no!" The tanned crew member said with a grim expression. "Are there any other mermaids around? Mermaids are very aggressive. If we provoke them, they will definitely attack our ship!"
"So what should we do? Let him go first and pretend nothing happened?"
"But what if we let it go and it turns around to attack us?" The other crew members discussed it in unison.
Shi Yue took a deep breath, suppressed her heartbeat, and said calmly, "Let's pull him up first."
The crew was shocked, "Captain?!"
"Pull him up first. I think... he won't attack us."
The word "aggressive" has nothing to do with Pei Junhuai. Shi Yue believes that even if he is a mermaid, his personality should not be too different from the original one.

Xiaoqin got a new one, a small tentacle (in human form)
