Chapter 1490

A few female clerks were busy attending to them, with no extra clerk free to wait on Zhao Chi and his companion.

That worked out just fine.

Zhao Chi didn't like being disturbed by clerks while browsing, and especially hated it when a clerk kept following him around.

Almost the entire first floor was Modified-grade fashion; Zhao Chi walked and browsed, but nothing really caught his eye.

There was, however, one rather red short skirt that Zhao Chi glanced at a few extra times.

【Name】Vitality Lady's Short Skirt

【Durability】20

【Color】Red

【Effect】Female only

【Attribute】Vocational Skill +5

【Modification】Stamina +5%

This short skirt and the lady's blouse seemed to be a matching set.

Right now Gu Qing and the others only had three fashion pieces, still missing a bottom; this short skirt's style was quite nice.

The blouse, high heels, and stockings were all white, so paired with a red skirt it would make a decent match.

Too bad this short skirt was only the most ordinary Modified grade.

There were only a little over twenty of them in stock.

Then forget it; let them wear the ordinary clothes Feng Xiu made for now, and fill in the gaps later.

The rest were all unremarkable.

The store wasn't large to begin with, and Zhao Chi browsed quickly, so after one lap he had basically finished looking at the first floor's fashion.

Zhao Chi could barely find anything he liked.

Not to mention the attributes were vastly different from what he made himself, even the styles were a mess.

Sets were rare; loose pieces were a free-for-all, each showing off its own tricks.

Logically speaking, when modifying, branch attributes give the best returns and versatility, but plenty of fashion pieces had been modified with awkward attributes just to stand out.

Of course, there were a few decent ones too.

But Zhao Chi's goal was to fully outfit all the female soldiers, so what this shop had was definitely not enough.

Zhao Chi paid special attention to the stockings.

But stockings didn't seem to be valued much, only displayed on a small rack tucked in a corner.

The price wasn't high either, and the attributes were utterly ordinary.

A few customers took a look and then left.

Zhao Chi had no interest in looking further either.

Let's go upstairs and have a look.

Arrived at the second floor.

The decor here was even more luxurious.

Everything around was Super-Modified-grade fashion, all quite pricey.

On the contrary, there were more customers here, and it actually looked a little crowded.

But likewise, there was even less chance of a clerk being free to attend to Zhao Chi and his group.

Walked another lap.

The Super-Modified fashion here all had passable attributes and decent quality.

There were even a few Excellent-quality Super-Modified fashion pieces, priced at over ten gold coins—quite expensive—but customers were trying them on, with the female clerk beside them chattering nonstop, pitching and persuading.

Zhao Chi already had no real interest left.

"Su Qin, have you found any clothes you like?"

Su Qin smiled and shook her head: "None of them work, they're far too lacking."

She wasn't a picky woman.

And her life before had always been very frugal.

She knew earning money wasn't easy, and even now she still carefully counted every coin.

In her original world, she would absolutely have been a good homemaker.

With this kind of fashion, she should have been unable to put it down, and the type who couldn't bear to buy too much.

But Zhao Chi already had raised her standards and expectations for fashion far too high; these normal Super-Modified pieces she truly couldn't be bothered with now.

Zhao Chi naturally knew this too.

After all, he couldn't be bothered with them either.

"It's fine, just pick something that looks nice, don't worry about the attributes."

Su Qin smiled: "If it's just for looks, there's no need to buy here. These are all Modified fashion and the prices are too high. Plenty of nice-looking clothes can be found at any little roadside shop—buy one for a few dozen copper coins, no more than a few silver coins at most. Here everything's dozens to a hundred silver coins. I'm not buying here."

At that moment, a woman's voice came from behind.

"Haven't the two of you found anything to your satisfaction? If there's anything you need, you can tell me, I can help you look around."

Zhao Chi and Su Qin turned their heads together.

They saw a woman with a smile on her face walking over.

Her posture was elegant.

She wore a pale red clerk's uniform, looked to be about 30 years old, with neatly done makeup.

Her lips were painted very red—one kiss would definitely leave a thick red lip print.

Her long hair was simply tied behind her back, looking very soft and graceful.

She smiled at Zhao Chi and the other person, her smile warm and gentle.

Zhao Chi's pupils contracted.

Yin Wanyan!

Zhao Chi had been looking for her just now, but hadn't seen her.

He had assumed she wasn't in the shop, but she had suddenly appeared behind them—she must have come out of some fitting room or office.

Her being here meant her purpose in opening the shop was to find him.

More specifically, to find Zhao Si—Gu Qing's avatar—or Zhao Yu—Tang Ruan's avatar.

"Oh, I don't need anything." Su Qin felt a bit embarrassed, after all the conversation between the two of them just now might have sounded somewhat offensive to her ears.

Zhao Chi, however, smiled and said, "Hello, I saw the fashion attributes written on the sign at your door and they looked good, so I wanted to come in and take a look, but I couldn't find them."

Shopkeeper Wanyan smiled and said, "That's a purchase inquiry, not promotional information. We did purchase a batch of that type of stockings before, but we don't have any right now. However, there might be some in a while, but that also depends on fate. Do you have any relevant leads or craftsman recommendations? We offer rewards."

Her guess was pretty accurate.

Zhao Chi had indeed planned to sell some over in a few days.

But he shook his head: "No leads."

Shopkeeper Wanyan nodded: "No matter. I see the lady beside you has excellent temperament—would you like me to recommend some fashion items? There are quite a few that would suit her."

Su Qin waved her hand and said, "No need, we'll look around ourselves first. We'll find you if we need anything."

Shopkeeper Wanyan smiled and said, "Alright, because we're a newly opened shop, the current variety of fashion items really isn't that extensive yet. You can come back around the middle of next month—the Daoshihou Society will have a batch of new fashion items then, with all kinds of quality and grades available."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Alright, we'll come by then. Do you sell fashion blueprints here?"

"Blueprints?"

"Yes, especially for bottoms."

Shopkeeper Wanyan smiled: "We don't have blueprints, but most of the fashion items in our shop are made by craftsmen we have long-term partnerships with. If you need them, we can take bulk custom orders, and we'll guarantee delivery on time and in quantity."

"Then never mind."

"Alright, we look forward to your next visit. Call me anytime if you need anything."

Shopkeeper Wanyan politely took her leave.

Su Qin leaned close to Zhao Chi and asked softly, "Do you know her?"

Zhao Chi of course denied it: "I don't know her. Why do you say that?"

Su Qin said, "I feel like you seem to have some... some... I don't know how to put it. I thought you two knew each other. But maybe I'm overthinking it, hehe."

Su Qin laughed.

Zhao Chi sighed inwardly—this woman's sixth sense was really accurate.

He took Su Qin downstairs and ran into a few women coming up.

The woman at the head and the woman to her left rear were both fairly good-looking.
