Chapter 224
Then I was so overwhelmed by the information inside that my mind went blank:
Dear players and visitors of Qingfengyi, the new permanent instance of Qingfengyi - Shili Hongzhuang Street - is now open. This instance accepts wedding business orders. Players and visitors who are interested can inquire about the specific service prices at the Yue Lao Temple or by talking to the matchmakers.
In addition, the Huaxia Interstellar First Star Marriage Registration Office will accept offline wedding services; those interested can contact the relevant department.
The service includes the issuance of certificates and props. This service is provided in cooperation with the marriage registration office. Customers can inquire about specific information at the marriage registration office, or at the Shili Hongzhuang Matchmaker or the Yue Lao Temple.
The wedding service can be implemented at any stage of the event according to the client's needs. We recommend purchasing the service after the betrothal ceremony, as this service offers better value for money.
Players went wild after seeing it, asking, "Is it real? Can weddings be held here?"
Is it exactly the same as the special effects in the movie?
"Ahhh, I've already purchased the complete wedding service! I booked it through Matchmaker Wang. She said I need to set aside five days for her to guide us through the entire process and present us with a special wedding certificate from Qingfengyi! I'm buying the service just for this certificate! [Pictures included]"
The picture shows the wedding witnesses displayed by Matchmaker Wang: a pair of dragon and phoenix fans, with dragons and phoenixes painted in red, white, gray, and black ink, exuding power and majesty, yet with graceful and ethereal postures. A screen displays a group photo of the couple or family, printed on a special interstellar material that can be preserved for thousands of years.
Customers can choose their own photos.
The screen is empty and not very attractive, except for its exquisitely crafted edges, which are entirely carved with auspicious cloud and peony patterns. There's no photo in the center. The fans are beautiful, extremely beautiful. Players obsessed with mythical beasts might even consider asking a friend to purchase a service just for two fans.
Of course, it would also be interesting to experience such a grand wedding.
But even more exciting news is coming out!
The player continued speaking, and his comment stood out prominently in the flood of messages; it was quite long and hard to miss.
"Ahhh, my mecha grand marshal! Qingfengyi really went all out this time, I love it! I'm going to find a husband right away and get married immediately! I want to hold one in the game and one offline! Family, the marriage certificate that Qingfengyi gave us is a real item, a real item! Although Qingfengyi didn't make it herself, she supervised the design and it was carefully issued by the wedding registry. Matchmaker Wang told me that the two props serve the same purpose as the marriage certificate, and we can also exchange them for a brand new marriage certificate at the marriage registry! Ahhh, can you believe it? The marriage certificate is a brand new design by Qingfengyi, it's super beautiful! Pictures, pictures, pictures..."
She posted over twenty pictures because there were just so many different styles of marriage certificates to choose from. The covers all featured the official StarCraft emblem, the colors of the starry sky, and the human faction's icon. There was also a huge "Marriage Certificate" sign.
Marriage certificates are available in both electronic and physical versions, and the government will issue both.
The marriage certificate has changed this time. The cover remains the same, but six more pages have been added inside, featuring designs such as mandarin ducks, dragons and phoenixes, the God of Love, double happiness symbols, cute versions, or opera-style wedding portraits. There are seven or eight options for the cute and opera-style wedding portraits, each slightly different.
The remaining pages can be used to print the couple's wedding photos. After all, it would be a shame not to include such a beautiful wedding in the marriage certificate. Looking back on it later will allow you to relive the beauty of your wedding.
The players were thrilled, and those who were already married rushed to hold another wedding ceremony. The marriage registration office on the number one interstellar star in China had announced that purchasing this service would get you a free marriage certificate, even if you had already received one before.
The marriage registration office was overwhelmed with work, and they had to hire seven or eight temporary staff to keep up. Many tasks were also delegated, such as the wedding arrangements, which were entirely outsourced to other wedding companies and studios. These studios were already prepared; the faster companies and studios that had previously secured business from daycare centers and tourism resources had missed out, and these slower ones hadn't had a chance to capitalize on the opportunity. They couldn't afford to lose this new wave of business brought by Qingfengyi!
The planet's lord intends for Aimore's businesses to develop in a balanced way, promoting all previous businesses equally. Therefore, this business policy favors those who didn't receive previous share of the business. Only with widespread commercial development can they reap the greater benefits brought by Qingfengyi!
This wedding hosting business, in particular, must be handled well. This is a business across the entire interstellar space, a unique business. Weddings can be held anywhere in the interstellar space because the holographic world and quantum computers connect the entire human interstellar network. However, the only place to hold Qingfengyi's exclusive wedding and issue Qingfengyi's exclusive wedding certificate is Aimore, a third-class star that has just been renamed the number one star in the Chinese interstellar space.
Qingfengyi has agreed that she will not accept patent licenses for wedding services from other planets within one year.
Upon seeing the marriage registration office packed with tens of thousands of appointments, the planet's owner excitedly stood up and spun around. Noticing a woman staring blankly at him, he went over, picked her up, and spun her around with her.
"Madam, we're going to be rich! The number one star in the Chinese interstellar space will soon be promoted to a second-class star and then a first-class star! At that time, I won't need to beg the family to trade resources to me, and you won't need to deal with the wives of planetary lords and officials of other high-level planets."
The planet's wife was startled, but after preparing herself, she laughed happily along with the planet's master.
"We're confident of winning this round thanks to Qingfengyi."
"Well, the next mentorship project will require a lot of your attention, Madam. I have other things to manage on the planet, and I'm really too busy to handle this. We also need to bring two more planets over to serve as docking ports. The starports on those planets will require a huge amount of space. Lin Qiaoqiao, the general manager of Qingfengyi, has been asking around about where to build the show venue. Why not give it to a starport? The one we held at a starport before was really great."
"That's a good idea. Is the site for the building they want ready?"
The planet owner said, "We signed a contract for a piece of land in the city center. The developer of that land voluntarily gave up resources, and Qingfengyi gave them some of his orders in exchange."
"The city center... is very nice. It will be easy for tourists to find it in the future. Right now, Qingfengyizai is too remote. You can't find it at all without navigation."
The two discussed many things, which Lin Shuying was unaware of. The most important thing now was the Grand Marshal's wedding; they decided to hold it both offline and online. It was a bit greedy, but they were happy.
When the Grand Marshal received the wedding video recommendation from Barbie Fashion, he even considered trying it out himself. However, after seeing Qingfengyi's wedding video, he changed his mind. It was simply a case of being outclassed; neither the grandeur nor the extravagance could compare.
Qingfengyi's wedding conveys the feeling of giving everything to bring home the person you love most—your spouse, your family member—and the respect and grandeur of being welcomed by all your family members with elaborate preparations. Bringing this person home means that all your family members approve of it; her arrival is welcome, and she is here to live together.
In short, I can't quite describe the feeling.
Barbie Fashion's wedding video was also dreamy, featuring a white wedding dress and a black tuxedo, which must have taken time to prepare. The church, the witness of family and friends, and the vows made to God—it couldn't be described as anything less than solemn.
But that's not enough!
The Grand Marshal felt that he and his wife should have a world-renowned wedding!
It's not that everyone saw the wedding being broadcast live, but rather that the wedding was grand enough.
Soon, the wedding in the game began.
The Marshal's wife couldn't sleep for two or three days because she was so excited; she had never been this nervous during her honeymoon.
They hired a matchmaker named Sun to first look at houses. The couple had purchased the most luxurious wedding property. The houses Sun negotiated were two mansions, one on the east side and one on the west, each with six courtyards; it would take half a day to explore them all. Inside, there were pavilions, covered bridges, and secluded gardens—exquisitely beautiful and opulent.
As the matchmaker led the group to see the house, she chuckled and said, "This is the best house you can find, capable of accommodating thousands of guests. The square in front can host a grand banquet, and people from all over the city can come and eat. The Taoist priest said your birth charts indicate that the east is auspicious for the husband and the west for the wife, which is why I found you a house in the east and west. However, the journey to fetch the bride will be a bit far, so the groom will have to leave early. But that's alright, the day you chose has many auspicious times, so you can leave early in the morning..."
The matchmaker, Sun, chattered on and on, saying many things that the marshal and his wife couldn't understand, but they just had to do whatever she told them to do.
The wedding would officially begin a few days later, as the Marshal and his wife, along with their friends and family, needed to travel from a distant first-magnitude star to the First Star of the Chinese Interstellar Sphere. The spaceship would take at least four or five days to reach them, and once they left their home star, they could no longer land on Qingfengyi.
Wedding orders in the Qingfengyi game have surged. Many other planets, unable to host offline weddings in person, are turning to the nearest planet where they can log in to Qingfengyi. These planets have cleverly expanded their game slots, adopting a guest account system similar to that of the number one interstellar planet in China.
The planet lords of those first-magnitude planets don't care about the meager profits from those accounts; what they covet is the power struggle behind hosting weddings. As long as humanity has a need for mating, marriage will be a mountain of political competition, a vital resource that every single inch must be fought for.
They cannot accept the same marriage certificate and props issued by Qingfengyi, but if you get married in the game, Huaxia Interstellar First Star must send the marriage certificate and marriage certificate.
First-class stars need to offer some benefits, such as resource cooperation, personnel and technology transfer, and the opening of additional space routes. China's leading interstellar star, holding a dominant position this time, is bound to accept the deal and would love to receive so many benefits without giving anything in return, even more than it needs. Opening a space route is no simple matter; the cost of constructing the wormholes involved is astronomical, not to mention the operation and maintenance.
