Chapter 120
Thus, Dan Di Wenming found himself in possession of a rather ambiguous group photo, which sparked a flurry of speculation. Was Bai Ye intentionally seeking to collaborate with a certain interstellar civilization amidst the myriad realms? If so, securing exclusive or priority access to the high-quality equipment produced in Bai Ye Town would be a significant boon...
In no time, the diplomatic departments of various star alliance civilizations began to spring into action.
At the center of this whirlwind was Ye Bai, who had set up an automatic sell order. As soon as the exchange rate of Luo Yuan showed any signs of stagnation, she would sell off the more than five million Luo Yuan she held.
In truth, such a strategy was not the most profitable; there was a chance that after a brief pause, the value could rise again. However, Ye Bai didn’t have the luxury of time to monitor the cosmic currency market for fluctuations. She needed to focus her energy on the myriad realms.
Ye Bai understood that her accumulation within the myriad realms was the true source of her tangible gains. The unexpected profit from the star coins was merely an added value brought by her identity in the game as "Bai Ye."
Moreover, such good fortune was not something that could be easily replicated in the short term. The impact of the first player town and the mastery of energy weapons was the fundamental reason behind this significant shift.
Of course, Ye Bai wouldn’t forget her friends in the midst of this good fortune. She quickly sent an urgent message to Ji Guang: “Hurry! I just logged off and saw the news. I bought Luo Yuan, and it’s skyrocketing!”
The urgent message could also be received in-game, but seeing it only allowed players to decide whether to log off or not; it couldn’t forcibly pull them out of the game.
At that moment, Ji Guang had just found a reason to log off, initially thinking something was wrong with Ye Bai. Upon seeing the message, she felt a surge of joy and immediately made a substantial purchase.
At this point, Luo Yuan was still on the rise. Even though Ji Guang didn’t profit as much as Ye Bai did at the beginning, there was still a good amount to be made.
“Ye Bai, you’re so lucky! You’re definitely going to make a killing this time!”
Ji Guang glanced at the timestamp of the news; it hadn’t been ten minutes since Ye Bai logged off. She thought to herself that Ye Bai had timed it perfectly. If she had waited a few more hours, who knew what the price of Luo Yuan would be? Even if it rose, the profit wouldn’t be as significant.
Aside from professional traders, ordinary investors wouldn’t be constantly on the lookout for such news, and this kind of unexpected event was something even professionals couldn’t foresee. To stumble upon such an opportunity was akin to a windfall.
Ye Bai replied, “Haha... I feel like after this profit, I won’t even need to sell game coins to you guys at the lab anymore.”
“Absolutely!” Ji Guang replied while keeping an eye on the rising value of Luo Yuan. “If you have enough money, don’t sell game coins. Focus on developing your own value first.”
“I think so too.”
Ye Bai smiled with satisfaction. This not only resolved her ‘living issues’ in Ji Guang’s eyes but also reassured her that she had the means to sustain her life in Huan Hai Star, without having to consider the loss of selling dozens of silver coins by transferring game coins across servers.
Having settled her real-world concerns, Ye Bai returned to the mayor’s office in the game.
Everything in her territory was developing smoothly according to her plans, and she was about to set off for an alchemy capital to undertake her second job quest.
However, before leaving, Ye Bai made a stop at the high-end tailor shop where Di Linna worked.
Upon opening the door and seeing Ye Bai, Di Linna, who had been idly sitting, straightened up with a smile in her eyes. “Ah, our esteemed lord! Welcome to my humble shop.”
“Oh, Master Di Linna, you’re too kind!” Ye Bai chuckled, taking a moment to admire the spacious and luxurious tailor shop. “Are you satisfied with the upgraded environment?”
“It’s quite nice,” Di Linna replied modestly, then suddenly remembered something. “I saw some black gold sheep at the ranch. The black gold wool is a high-quality material, perfect for making upscale clothing for the nobility.”
“I understand; that’s exactly what I was thinking,” Ye Bai nodded in agreement. In fact, NPCs with high favorability would often drop hints about ‘strategies’ during casual conversations, depending on how attentive players were in digging for information.
Di Linna raised an eyebrow. “So, what brings you here today, my lord?”
Ye Bai smiled shyly. “You know.”
Di Linna shook her head in exasperation, then turned to retrieve a delicate square wooden box from a nearby cabinet and opened it. “Here you go, it’s ready.”
Inside the box lay a piece of soft, shimmering fabric in a light color, radiating a spectrum of colors that made it hard to define its exact hue, reminiscent of the ‘colorful black’ of the woven tribe’s textiles.
“Thank you so much!” Ye Bai’s eyes lit up as she immediately picked up the equipment.
【Qian Huan Yi】
Level: Legendary
Type: Clothing
Fashion: 1500
Special Effect - Imprint: Can imprint onto other clothing, currently able to imprint on (10) items.
Special Effect - Ever-Changing: Can transform into the appearance of other clothing below this level.
Description: Crafted using a large amount of precious spider silk and some techniques from the woven tribe, this clothing can change its form, is elegant and exquisite, and will never go out of style.
Upon seeing the attributes, Ye Bai couldn’t help but smile. It was indeed a masterpiece from a master tailor! Even the appearance of the clothing came with special effects, and the practicality was undeniable, making the use of eight pieces of precious spider silk dropped by the Spider King boss well worth it.
Aside from clothing that represented faction identity, garments typically didn’t carry any attributes; they were purely aesthetic. Rare-level clothing and above might have special effects, but those were usually reflected in certain designs. The only attribute clothing had was【Fashion】, which could be described as style points.
In the myriad realms, being fashionable might earn a player some face among peers, but in the eyes of NPCs, it signified ‘you’re wealthy.’ The fashion value could sometimes yield unexpected results, particularly in business dealings.
In ordinary high-end shops, rare clothing sold to nobles typically had a fashion value of around five to six hundred. This legendary clothing, unsurprisingly, tripled that value, standing proudly among various formal attires that represented honor.
With a master tailor in her territory, Ye Bai certainly wouldn’t let this opportunity go to waste.
This was the advantage of being a lord. Unlike players who had to toil through quests or purchases to obtain equipment, as long as there were talented individuals in her territory, it was equivalent to Ye Bai’s own capabilities.
Previously, the high-level materials Ye Bai had obtained from clearing bosses were given to Di Linna. With the 100 loyalty points from completing personal quests, Ye Bai didn’t even need to pay extra; she just had to provide the necessary materials for her to craft.
Of course, this privilege only applied to the equipment Ye Bai needed for herself; bulk orders were a different matter altogether.
Di Linna added, “I’ve already imprinted some designs I remember onto it. Give it a try!”
“Sure!”
Ye Bai happily stored the garment in her backpack. Once she equipped it in the【Clothing】 slot, her appearance instantly transformed into a fitted, flowing silver-white robe, cinched at the waist with a long hem, and the sleeves and back trailing with a translucent, shimmering quality.
Since it came from the magical capital of Mei Luo City, the style of this garment crafted by Di Linna leaned towards a mage’s aesthetic—elegant, intellectual, and imbued with a dreamlike quality.
“Hmm, it looks great,” Di Linna remarked with satisfaction, nodding as she observed.
“It’s absolutely stunning!” Ye Bai admired it for a moment before bidding farewell to Di Linna. After that, she went to a regular tailor shop to imprint a few ordinary clothing designs before quietly leaving the territory.
Once she changed out of her signature equipment appearance, the ‘common face’ of Bai Ye became much harder to recognize. Moreover, the【Qian Huan Yi】was conveniently versatile, eliminating the need to prepare numerous appearances—one piece could stand in for many. The only reasonable drawback was that when transformed into other appearances, the fashion value would also change to match those looks, making it impossible to achieve a ‘low-key yet luxurious’ effect.
After transforming the appearance of the Qian Huan Yi into a common【Windbreaker】look, Ye Bai made her way to Mei Luo City in just a day.
With her higher level, her movement speed had increased significantly, and she had a substantial boost in stamina compared to other players, making her capabilities incomparable to before.
For her level 40 job transfer quest, Ye Bai needed to travel to an alchemy capital. Naturally, it was much faster to teleport from the nearest city with a teleportation array than to explore the wilderness on her own.
Within the same ‘Blue Star server,’ the teleportation costs were significantly lower.
