Chapter 2175

"Before, we mostly only had one style of fashion item.

"For example, stockings were all general-purpose, so nobody had to tell them apart — just pick them up and put them on.

"Only shirts came in two styles, which needed a bit of distinguishing.

"But the shirts back then were also separated between craftsmen and soldiers, so there wasn't really any need to tell them apart either.

"But now it's different.

"We have 4 styles of stockings, 4 styles of shirts and high heels, and 3 styles each of underwear, panties, backpacks, and so on — so it's really hard to tell them apart.

"So I think we'd better set up some distinctions."

That was indeed the case.

These fashion items all looked the same, and if they got mixed up, it would be very hard to tell them apart.

They would need to be checked and sorted one by one.

Zhao Chi nodded: "Got it. You mean we should divide them into different storerooms and personnel, managing the different fashion items separately?"

Gu Qing shook her head: "No, I mean we can dye them, using colors to tell the different styles apart."

Tang Ruan cut in: "Oh, that's a great idea."

Qi Yue was also nodding.

Zhao Chi agreed: "It really is a good idea. Then I'll add a dyeing step when I make them from now on."

Gu Qing shook her head: "No, no, no, it's not for you to do the dyeing. We can't add to your workload — just have Feng Xiu and the others do the dyeing for you."

Zhao Chi nodded: "No problem. Just arrange this kind of thing however you like, no need to ask my opinion."

Gu Qing smiled: "I do want to ask everyone's opinion about the colors. After all, we need to settle on 3-4 colors, so it's better if we all think it through together."

Li Ruanyu laughed lightly: "You must already have a plan, just say it."

Gu Qing nodded: "Today when Zhuang Ya and I were in Chaoge Town, we discussed it briefly. The two of us roughly worked out a draft — of course it's far from perfect, and we need everyone to pitch in ideas."

Tang Ruan said: "Alright, sis, hurry up and tell us."

"In a hurry?" Gu Qing laughed lightly.

"Then I'll explain. After all, the fashion distinctions need to be simple and easy to understand — best if they're easy to remember too.

"So we roughly divided them into 3 types and colors: attack-type in red, defense-type in white, and general-purpose in black or other colors.

"Of course, this is very rough.

"And it's not very strict either — everyone just needs a simple understanding.

"First, the stockings.

"We now have 4 types of stockings in total: general-purpose, defense-type, movement-speed-type, and jump-type.

"First, the general-purpose type — it's fairly average in every aspect, and we'll probably use it less later on, so we can leave it undyed.

"Undied stockings can also be assumed to be the general-purpose type by default.

"Defense-type stockings should be white — white is the most eye-catching, and it's also to let enemies notice them better.

"Movement-speed-type stockings are black — when moving, you definitely don't want the enemy to spot you, so black is best.

"As for jump-type, it's actually not used that often either, but the stats are so good that it really stands out in certain situations. It should have been dyed red, but red stockings… that's just too weird, so let's just set it as flesh-colored.

"The main point of this distinction is so you can tell the type apart at a glance.

"But these are all ultra-thin styles, so when worn on the legs, the difference isn't that big.

"So I think it's about right.

"Does anyone have any thoughts?"

Li Ruanyu shook her head: "I think it's great."

"Then I'll wear white stockings from now on?" Tang Ruan asked.

Qi Yue nodded: "You're already wearing white right now, no difference. I'll be wearing black later — it's pretty nice."

Zhuang Ya said: "Not necessarily. Everyone picks different stockings based on different situations — the same goes for all the other fashion items."

Su Qin said: "I might wear the jump-type pretty often on my end. I think flesh-colored is nice."

Li Ruanyu nodded: "Mm, I think flesh-colored is good — after all, it goes with everything."

Zhao Chi said: "I think it's fine. And dyeing can be done anytime — the cost is low, you can change it whenever, and even after dyeing you can change it again. It's very flexible, no need to overthink it."

"Right, changeable anytime." Gu Qing nodded.

No one had any objections.

Gu Qing smiled:

"Then stockings are settled. Next up, high heels.

"Same classification as before.

"Evasion-type high heels are actually a kind of defense-type, so they should be white.

"Terrain-adaptive high heels count as general-purpose, set them to black — that also matches nicely with the black stockings.

"Kick-type high heels are of course attack-type, set them to red.

"What does everyone think?"

Li Ruanyu agreed: "No problem on my end."

"No problem here either." Tang Ruan.

"Same here." Qi Yue.

"Me too," Su Qin.

Zhao Chi said: "The plan you've all come up with is already great — basically no one has any objections. Why don't you just tell us everything at once?"

"Alright." Gu Qing nodded.

"Next are the shirts.

"Defensive types are still white, stamina types are black.

"Job types are yellow, efficiency types are blue—these two are auxiliary-class outfits, so the colors are a bit special.

"Next are short skirts.

"Defensive type white, spiritual power type black, hover type red.

"Underwear is: vitality type black, satiety type white, comfort type red.

"Underpants are the same: spiritual power type black, recovery type white, comfort type red.

"For backpacks… load-bearing type black, capacity type white, stability type red.

"Finally, sleepwear.

"Experience type white, learning type black, comfort type red, mood type pink.

"That's about it.

"Of course, these categories are very rough—everyone please feel free to give suggestions."

Zhao Chi listened and felt a bit dizzy.

But those women had actually all understood and were excitedly chatting with each other.

Are they really that sensitive to clothing colors?

Whatever.

He'll just ask Gu Qing for a color list later.

This kind of thing is for them to wear anyway, so let them discuss it.

Soon, the discussion stopped.

All the women looked at Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi said in surprise, "Huh? What's wrong?"

Zhuang Ya said, "Zhao Chi, were you spacing out?"

Zhao Chi laughed, "Haha, yes… sorry about that."

Li Ruanyu said, "It's fine, it's okay if you're not interested, but do you agree with what was just said?"

"Me?" Zhao Chi pointed at himself. "Of course I agree, I have no objections."

Gu Qing smiled, "my lord, I'll compile a list for you later. If you have any opinions, you can raise them anytime—after all, the dyeing can be changed at any moment, and even after it's done it can still be changed."

"Good!"

They talked very lively, but Zhao Chi was genuinely a bit confused.

Let them do as they please with all this.

He and Qi Yue would continue producing and crafting as usual; the other matters would be arranged by Gu Qing.

It's just that from now on, the outfits they wore would become a bit more varied.
