【The first set: Ice and Snow Theme—The snowing atmosphere is so beautiful!】
【The second set: Flame Theme—Warm breezes blow, so cozy.】
【The third set: Forest Theme—Vines and rocking chairs are a perfect match, and there are birds too.】
【The fourth set: Ocean Theme—Outside the glass and beneath the floor, countless fish swim—want to see more.】
【The fifth set: Spring Theme—it’s not just blooming flowers and fragrant blooms but also butterflies. I’ll choose this one!】
【The sixth set: Autumn Theme—the golden ginkgo leaves paired with gentle streams, so tranquil and serene.】
As Bai Yang finished speaking, the barrage burst forth like a spring water fountain.
Overall, everyone had their favorite.
Bai Yang raised an eyebrow. “I’ll start a vote—these six themes will be awarded according to the number of votes.”
“Don’t worry that I can’t get all six themes, because this event is long-term.”
A short-term event ends in a brief period, but a long-term one is different.
This long-term event will continue even after the Carnival Anniversary Competition ends.
“The difference is, free players will need to spend time on tasks to collect all six themes, while paying players can significantly shorten the time to own them,” Bai Yang explained.
【Sniff, don’t say that—I’m going to spend money right now! With such beautiful themes, missing out even a day is a loss!】
【Me too. I thought only the little ones could drain my wallet, but now I surrender completely. Watch me spend money!】
Although Bai Yang told her live viewers that these six themes could be accumulated over time, many players couldn’t wait and quickly decided to spend in the game for an immediate experience.
More casual viewers were also attracted by Bai Yang’s lively stream.
“Wow, what game is this?”
“The game’s called Chezui Home. The streamer is showing the latest event content—if you’re interested, download it! It’s guaranteed fun.”
“Alright, the vote is over—first place:【Ice】 theme.”
After her declaration, Bai Yang immediately spent some in-game currency and clicked to purchase.
The【Ice】 themed furniture was swiftly delivered, and Bai Yang couldn’t wait to change into it.
“Huh? Compared to the temporary experience, the【Ice】 theme has more variations,” Bai Yang soon noticed something was off.
【The ground is covered in snow.】
In the temporary experience, snow on the floor would melt away quickly and wouldn’t accumulate. Now, Bai Yang could freely control the snow’s presence, even adjusting its size.
【Wow! Look, the little pets are walking through the snow, leaving behind a trail of plum blossom pawprints!】 A viewer suddenly exclaimed.
The snow on the floor had piled up as thick as a carpet, looking smooth and even.
Bai Yang dared not move recklessly, for every step might leave a footprint on the snow.
But when the cats and dogs played on the snowy, pristine surface, leaving a series of feline pawprints, Bai Yang’s heart raced with excitement.
“So cute—little ones, come here! Momma wants hugs,” she said, stretching out her hands.
Immediately, a crowd of little pets enthusiastically pounced on her.
The snow-covered carpet on her was now disrupted, but Bai Yang didn’t mind. She joyfully lifted her arms, scattering some snowflakes and playing freely.
“Huh? These snowflakes seem to be forming shapes,” Bai Yang said, scooping a handful of snow and feeling its texture.
She realized they weren’t illusions—her hand could gather the snow into shapes.
【Wow! We can have a snowball fight!】
【And build snowmen!】
The viewers in the live chat enthusiastically suggested.
“Okay, let’s build snowmen with this snow,” Bai Yang started crafting snow figures.
Soon, one big and one small ball were stacked. Bai Yang placed them, aligned from biggest to smallest, and then looked at the figures, feeling something was missing.
She walked towards the pet staff supplies area. The items there had been changed to ice and snow-white colors, but that didn’t mean they were cold or hard.
In fact, most pet staff gear was fluffy and soft, allowing the fluffy pets to stay warm even in icy environments.
“Found it,” Bai Yang said, grabbing a red scarf from the supply area, then adding two black bead eyes and a carrot nose. A cute snowman was thus completed.
【So fun! Streamer, make a few more!】 Viewers requested eagerly.
“Hold on, I want to try first,” Bai Yang didn’t move immediately. Instead, she turned off the falling snow effect.
Soon, she concluded, “In the snow, snowmen won’t melt—unless I turn off the snow effect. When it’s off, the snowmen will gradually melt, but the process is very slow. So, if you find your snowman is gone someday, don’t be surprised.”
While speaking, she turned the snow effect back on.
【Since the size of the snow can be freely adjusted, let’s see how large the snowfall can get.】
Suddenly, a viewer came up with a clever idea.
“I’m curious about that too,” Bai Yang said.
She adjusted the snow effect to maximum.
The gentle falling snow inside the shop instantly turned into a raging snowstorm. In an instant, Bai Yang was covered in a thick layer of snow, and the playful pups quickly retreated to their warm nests.
“Dashing snow has a colder temperature, but it’s still within tolerable limits,” Bai Yang said, sensing the chill. She decided not to stop the experiment.
Finally, when the snow piled up to her waist, the snowstorm persisted but stopped thickening.
“Looks like waist-high is the limit of the snowstorm,” she observed.
【Because if the snow gets any thicker, you’d be buried.】
【Now, both inside and outside the shop, everything is buried.】
The snow effect was not limited to inside; outside the shop too, the snow had fallen heavily.
No pedestrians remained outside; the shop’s interior was nearly impassable. The tables and chairs in the lounge area were covered entirely by snow.
Bai Yang struggled to turn around and looked outside. “Everyone, don’t try the snowstorm mode casually—it’ll drive away customers.”
When snowflakes were just a decorative effect, the shop still had plenty of visitors. But once it turned into a blizzard, even entering the shop was difficult for customers.
【Got it. A snowstorm repels customers. Playing with snow should have a limit.】 Viewers obediently expressed understanding.
“Besides, there are many more【Ice】 theme furnitures. I’ll leave it to you to explore,” Bai Yang said.
“Next, let’s go buy the【Fire】 theme furniture,” she continued.
Soon, she purchased the【Fire】 themed furnishings.
“The previous themes were arranged based on my existing setup. The actual themed furniture set is a full series of matching pieces. Let’s try out the【Fire】 theme furniture now.”
“Compared to【Ice】, the【Fire】 theme furniture is mostly red—very warm and inviting.”
The【Fire】 furniture was visually red and also fluffy, emanating warmth.
Suddenly, Bai Yang picked up a new piece of furniture—an overall box-shaped item with a sealed back and an open front.
In addition, inside the box, there was a pile of wood.
“What is this?” asked the viewers in the live chat, puzzled.
“It’s called a fireplace. It’s said to provide warmth,” Bai Yang explained as she placed the fireplace in a corner of the lounge area.
Following the item’s instructions, she switched it on. A sudden “boom” sounded as the logs inside the fireplace ignited automatically, the flames leaping in a warm, glowing red.
Bai Yang cautiously brought her hand close. “It’s warm but not hot to the touch. However, only the side facing the fireplace feels warm—it’s not that kind of heat that radiates all around.”
She then moved the sofa to face the fireplace directly. Lying down, she sighed in contentment.
“I can’t imagine how happy I’d be if I were a little girl like the streamer,” a viewer typed.
“The fireplace might be a bit superfluous, but it adds a ton of atmosphere,” another remarked.
“Honestly, I think the fireplace fits better with the Ice and Snow theme furniture.”
“I get it—where it’s already warm, a fireplace’s warmth might be unnecessary. But in cold places, a fireplace is pure salvation.”
Reading the comments, Bai Yang replied, “The fireplace can be dyed white to match the Ice theme better.”
Furniture styles across themes are mix-and-matchable, not restricted to use only within their specific themes.
“I’m going to add a fireplace for every Ice theme customer—snow falling outside while enjoying warmth by the fire.”
“That’ll give customers the best of both worlds—ice and fire,” another viewer joked.
“The warm breeze effect of the Fire theme shouldn’t be maxed out; the maximum level is like a sauna and makes you sweat buckets.”
Lying on the sofa beside the fireplace, Bai Yang toggled on the warm breeze effect but quickly switched off the fireplace, then rose from the plush sofa.
“Water… water,” she gasped, searching desperately for water. Sweat poured down her face, flushed red.
Only after finding water and drinking deeply did she feel some relief.
“Too cold is bad, but too hot’s worse. Streamer, please turn down the warm breeze effect!” viewers urged anxiously.
Bai Yang couldn’t bear it either and quickly switched off the warm breeze effect.
“It’s hot—as expected of the Fire theme.”
“Warmth is funny that way—it usually goes unnoticed but when you really need it, you realize how wonderful its presence is,” Bai Yang evaluated thoughtfully.
“I’ve already decided to use the Fire theme furniture next winter.”
“Winter paired with Fire-themed décor—just imagining it brings a sense of coziness.”
Bai Yang chuckled softly. “Next up—the third set, Forest theme.”
The Forest theme was a sea of green, with cool breezes rustling the leaves, soothing to the eyes.
She took a deep breath and exclaimed, “The Forest theme’s air is fresh and invigorating, like being in a natural oxygen bar—and a real one, at that.”
While the Ice theme’s air was cool and the Fire theme’s air warm, the Forest theme’s air was refreshingly crisp.
For a moment, Bai Yang felt transported far from the city’s polluted air into untouched nature.
“Looks like the Forest theme aims for naturalness—not just in environment but air quality too.”
“No wonder the Forest theme special effects feature birds. I’ve heard that before the mass extinction, forests were the birds’ natural homes.”
At that moment, a flock of birds flew in orderly and landed around her. This time, Bai Yang relaxed completely.
She extended her hand, and birds perched on her fingertips, occasionally pecking lightly, tickling her.
“The birdsong sounds beautiful; even though there are many birds, it never feels noisy,” Bai Yang said.
Then another flock arrived.
“Up to now, there’s been no repetition among the bird species. How many did the producer make?” the chat expressed amazement.
For players, the exact varieties of birds weren’t crucial.
But the producer’s meticulous attention still pleasantly surprised them.
“Wait, if birds are special effects, is there a maximum limit?” a viewer suddenly asked.
“?!”
“Streamer, try it!”
Bai Yang was momentarily stunned, then said, “I’ll give it a shot.”
She pushed the bird effect slider to the max. Suddenly, all the birds inside the shop disappeared.
But then, groups of birds, divided by species, entered in orderly lines, circling Bai Yang before flying back out.
Because the birds in front didn’t leave, those in the back couldn’t enter.
For a time, the Forest theme shop was filled with diverse birds as far as the eye could see. Bai Yang appeared as if she had sprouted wings herself.
“Record this!” a viewer cried in frustration.
Thankfully, the effect could be reset. Bai Yang and her viewers recorded the scene this time.
A viewer shared the video on the Chezui Home game forum, causing amazement among other players.
Not every player had pushed all theme effects to the maximum, so watching the video, many felt they’d missed out on a one-in-a-billion experience.
