11:00 PM..

Countless players entered the Virtual Warehouse, and the entire world fell silent.

As the countdown ended, long-awaited visitors were transported into the layered event scene of the Virtual World, structured by Yan Ming, through the official "event scenarios".

What unfolded before the visitors was a plaza filled with the festive atmosphere of the New Year, vibrant and celebratory.

Colorful lanterns were hung high in the virtual scene's plaza, illuminating the entire space.

Visitors dispersed to explore, with some players flocking towards the temple fair scene to the north.

The scene before them unfolded like a brilliant picture of folk culture, slowly revealing itself to the visitors.

In the distance, a sea of lights and multicolored lanterns were layered upon each other, resembling fallen stars illuminating every corner of the temple fair.

The festive glow permeated the entire scene with a warm hue. Getting closer, one could see the packed stalls lining the streets, like a winding dragon.

The signs above the stalls fluttered in the wind, and wisps of smoke rose from the food stalls, mixed with sweet aromas.

The food in the virtual scene was all provided for free, offering players a perfect culinary experience without flaws through the Perception Illusion woven by Jiuyin.

Besides the fabricated scene, many NPC-type virtual characters populated the temple fair.

The NPCs in festive attire bustled about, some walking together, enjoying food while watching the performances around.

Parents with children had kids excitedly weaving through the crowd, holding tightly onto the sugar-coated hawthorns they just bought.

In the center of the temple fair, a lion dance team was performing. The ancient Earth-style giant dragons soared, and the lions moved vividly, drawing cheers from nearby NPCs.

A stage was set up in the middle of the temple fair, hosting traditional opera performances.

The performers, members from various Earth races, wore splendid costumes, singing, speaking, acting, and fighting with full flavor. The NPCs in the audience watched in rapt attention, thoroughly engrossed.

The entire New Year Temple Fair was filled with laughter, exuding a rich festive atmosphere, making visitors inside the scene feel as if they were part of an authentic New Year celebration.

The gorgeous scene instantly captivated players of all races.

The overwhelmingly realistic scene feedback made it difficult for the senses to distinguish reality from illusion.

Before the event officially began, visitors in the layered virtual space eagerly dove into exploring the activities.

The time reached midnight.

A prompt sounded in the minds of all players.

[Event Reminder: All participating players, please head to the New Year's Square. The qualification granting event will begin in five minutes.]

The qualification granting event is as follows:

Scene Red Envelope Rain: During the event, at 12:05 AM each day, "qualification red envelopes" will rain down from above the square. Players can obtain game qualifications or Sacrificial Power Red Envelopes by catching these red envelopes.

Scene Fireworks Display: During the event, at 1:00 AM each day, a fireworks show will take place in the sky above the square. Collecting the fallen ashes from the fireworks can grant game qualifications or Sacrificial Power Red Envelopes.

Scene Hidden Red Envelopes: There are some special hidden red envelopes (qualification, Sacrificial Power Red Envelopes) in the event scenes.

...

As the reminder sounded, countless players in the layered space flocked towards the center of the event map, the New Year's Square.

Looking up at the sky, golden bands of light gathered from all directions, intertwining to form a massive light wheel.

The light wheel rotated slowly, emitting a dazzling red glow, with a five-minute countdown to the event's start at its center.

All the visitors held their breath in anticipation, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the red envelope rain.

The five minutes of waiting passed in a flash, and the light wheel in the sky exploded with a roar.

Countless red envelopes trailed brilliant streaks of light, falling from the sky like a meteor shower.

Boom!

The event officially began, completely igniting the visitors' enthusiasm.

"Don't move, let me see what's inside the red envelope first, don't be anxious."

"Happy New Year, everyone, let me have a red envelope. It's my first time celebrating Spring Festival, give me some face."

"Happy New Year to you too, but if you think I'll give you a red envelope, you're dreaming."

"Hahaha, I got a red envelope, let me open and see... Damn, why is there only a New Year greeting in it???"

...

30,000 qualifications seemed like a lot.

But with nearly 15 billion visitors participating, most red envelopes were handed out as New Year greeting slips.

In response, Qi Sheng took out one million sacrificial power to distribute extra red envelopes to Earth compatriots.

However, the joy visitors felt when grabbing a red envelope was genuine.

Only after opening it would they likely feel disappointed and silently criticize the Star Network's stinginess for hosting the event.

After the first round of red envelope rain ended, all 10,000 slots were distributed.

These 10,000 players were assigned to the Cave World's spatial nodes for login.

The second round of events started at 1:00 AM, still at the New Year's Square.

Colorful starlight rose from the ground, illuminating the sky of the event scene as if it were daytime.

The first firework exploded high above, golden light blooming like a giant chrysanthemum, spreading freely in all directions.

Before visitors could recover from this stunning gold, several more fireworks blossomed in the sky.

This time, they were dazzling purple-red, like brilliant gems. As they bloomed, they intertwined and formed a dream-like sea of flowers, with each petal glistening brightly.

Next, green fireworks streaked across the sky like meteors, trailing long tails.

Blue fireworks resembled the deep sea, surging through the night sky, complementing other colors, providing visitors with a strong visual impact.
