Chapter 155 - Lunar New Year’s Event
Chapter 155: Lunar New Year’s Event
The Black Sea Corporation was busy shipping out gaming pods while the Jie De Technology Corporation was still struggling with its own issues.
Gamers who got their hands on the gaming pods were undoubtedly thrilled as the 12-hour security shutdown of the server was over as promised by the officials of Battle Online.
The forum was flooded with good reviews for the gaming pods by the Black Sea Corporation.
Broke_Trash: “Awesome! We can finally hibernate, everybody. See you in spring (waving emoji)!”
Assassin_Creed: “You guys are not going to believe this. I’ve hired a maintenance man to come over on a regular basis to renew the nutrient solution for me. I hereby announce that I’m going to sleep for a whole year! (smirking emoji)”
Crayon_Shinchan replied to Assassin_Creed: “Farewell, young man!”
Xueli_The_Strongest: “I returned the gaming pod of the Jie De Corporation and bought the one from the Black Sea Corporation. As expected, the official recommendation did not disappoint (happy~)”
Watermelon_Taro: “I’m feeling good~ Life has never been so good…”
Cabuda: “I’m so tempted because of you guys. I’m currently saving up to get one, too!”
As the players were excited over the gaming pods, Lu Wu launched the Lunar New Year’s event inside the game.
[Lunar New Year’s Event Launch Notice]:
Event One – Limited Time Auction for New Year’s Fashion Sets
Details: A limited time auction of three different styles of fashion sets will be available every night during the event period (Each style is limited to 1,000 pieces, and the top bid is 150,000 dragon coins, each player is limited to one set.)
Event Two – Collection of Fashion Fragments
Details: Killing a monster in the game gives a chance to drop fashion fragments during the event period (the more powerful the monster, the higher the chance to drop fashion fragments). 288 fashion fragments can be synthesized into one of the three fashion sets in the Event Messenger Area.
Introduction of Fashion Sets: With all fashion items from synthesis or auctions as the starter, a certain number of fashion fragments can be used for upgrading or improvisation of appearance.
Event Three – Random Lunar New Year Lucky Money Red Envelopes
Details: There will be chances to obtain lucky money through hidden red envelopes in all areas of Beiqi during the event period. A random number of soul coins between 1 to 1,000 will be rewarded from collecting and opening the red envelopes.
Event Four – Chasing Off the Legendary Nian Beast
Details: A Level 200 monster (the legendary Nian Beast) will be spawned in the Land of Beiqi every hour during the event period. A Blue, Red or Purple Level 55 weapon (randomized), soul coins (randomized), and New Year Messenger title (very low chance) will be dropped upon its death.
Nian Beast: Extremely low damage with very high health.
Note: Players’ rewards will be in conjunction with the damage done to the Nian Beast and will go directly into players’ personal channels.
The three sets of outfits yet to be released were displayed under the event details.
These three sets were all designed by the omnipotent Bei Li. Lu Wu named them Winter Dance of the Crane, General Dragon’s Armor, and Fallen Glory, respectively.
Despite having more than ten sets of outfits for Lu Wu to choose for his template, he only chose these three – the main reason being the desire to cater to the setting of the game.
These three sets had one same characteristic – all of them emitted an ancient charm.
The players were all excited after looking at the three fashion sets. Some players who were professional fashion designers even commented on the outfits with their own opinion in the forum.
[I’m a professional fashion designer. I am in love with these three sets of outfits even though I’m picky. Battle Online has never failed to surprise me, I love it so much! (kisses~)] (Author: AdorkableCluelessGirl)
Well, let me share my opinion on these three fashion sets and give some advice to players who wanted to get a set but didn’t know which to choose.
First of all, I’m going to review the first set of the three, called Winter Dance of the Crane.
Fashion Review: The design of this set’s appearance is closely related to the theme. The simple yet elegant white which represented the coldness of snow, the edge of the cuffs embellished with crane feathers, coupled with the scarlet color on the hair, was more than perfect as it vividly depicts the image of red-crowned cranes. I just have to give it to the graphic designers of Battle Online that they are absolutely the world’s top.
My Proposal: It’s a must-buy! What? You don’t have the money? Just sell your house, your car, or even your own body. It’s Lunar New Year, you really should spend some cash in the game to get new clothes!
The next review is on the second set, the domineering outfit called General Dragon’s Armor.
Fashion Review: This set is full of a general style. The dragon on the helmet was shaped in a way as if it could take down the world in fury, not to mention the red tassel flowing like hair. The shoulders, chest, and waist are decorated with ferocious animal heads. The metal texture on the knee shield and the armor scales on both sides highlighted the hardness, with a cloak covering the iron copper body from the back. Even a player who looks weak will instantly appear tall and strong in it. Also, the string tassel that hung low seems to add some gentleness to this thick armor.
My Proposal: Although this set has both a female and male version, it suits male players with tall figures. Wearing it will make you look more mighty and powerful~ I have only one piece of advice. Reload and buy!
Last but not least, my favorite set which is called Fallen Glory.
Fashion Review: This outfit has lavender, lilac, and ivory white as the main tones, which make it appear elegant and chic. The design of the long wide sleeves and slim waistline brought out the ancient charm even more. All the tiny details are remarkable, the butterfly accessory around the waist matches the butterfly embroidery on the shoulder edges perfectly. The softly tailored round toe boots and other details give this set an overall mild and gentle aura like a nice cup of tea, portraying elegance.
My Proposal: Ding~ Sold my house, my car, and my boyfriend! Draw your swords and get ready to fight for the fashion auction tonight!
After reviewing the three sets, I am dying to own these fashion icons, I really like them!
Those who aren’t able to get them from the auction, don’t be sad. You can still own one of these cool sets by collecting fashion fragments to synthesize one within the specified date.
However, these dazzling sets are only in starter form and they can be upgraded by collecting fashion fragments. They are so irresistible, I am desperate to get one right now.
So, where are my Beiqi Army comrades? Let’s kill wild mobs to get these sets!
Finally, I wish all gamers a happy Lunar New Year!
Also, I wish that all of your powers are cut off and your gaming pods explode when the fashion auction starts so that none of you can take it from me (gentle smiling face emoji)!

Invincible_Loneliness: “Although this player is a bit black-hearted, she is indeed a professional. Looking at how she praised it, I feel like getting a set of General Dragon’s Armor now even though I wasn’t really interested in fashion. As for money (sinister laugh emoji), I hope that someone can defeat me, it’s so lonely to be on top!”

Damn it, I want to get Fallen Glory so badly after your praise, I hate you so much (teeth gritting emoji)!”
Peppa_Boar: “Smiling silently here, I’m ready to buy a set on the spot, things that can be settled with money is never an issue. I’d buy the hidden character class too if it’s on sale, no matter how much it costs.”
