Abstract

This application discloses a virtual item pickup method, electronic device, and storage medium, applied in the field of virtual item pickup technology. The method includes, in response to a virtual character's temporary storage operation on a current virtual item, storing the current virtual item as a temporary item in a virtual inventory. The visual effect of the temporary item is distinct from other virtual items in the virtual inventory. The item can be picked up through the temporary storage operation, marking it as a temporary item and displaying it in the virtual inventory with a visual effect distinct from other virtual items. This allows players to quickly find the temporary item when they subsequently collect high-value items, facilitating its replacement with a high-value item. Compared to the tedious and time-consuming process of searching through numerous virtual items in the virtual inventory for a low-value item, this application provides a simple and efficient method for replacing low-value items with high-value items, improving the player's gaming experience.
