307 Chapter 307 - Baishi City (1/2)

”See what I did there?” Fireball maintained his pose as he asked Gu Fei this.

Gu Fei was totally speechless.

”This only works for this particular style of robe, though. Such coat-style mage robe with buttons isn't easy to find, you know?” Fireball bragged. Checking Gu Fei's robe, he exclaimed, ”Turns out Drunk bro's mage robe has a similar style, too! That makes things simpler!” Fireball unbuttoned the front of Gu Fei's mage robe for him before taking several steps backward to examine his handiwork. In the end, he shook his head with remorse, ”Drunk bro, your mage robe is really outstanding but your inner shirt is just too drab. I know a player who picked up the Tailor crafting profession with decent proficiency; he's already able to create inner shirts and such. He's actually a tailor in reality, so he's truly a professional in that field. Look at what I'm wearing.” Fireball approached Gu Fei once more and showed him his undershirt, ”See this? It's a casual tee! This isn't an article of clothes that players can learn to sew in-game without actually knowing how to do so in reality!”

Gu Fei was still at a loss for words.

”Unfortunately, my man is currently in Yunduan City. But don't worry; I'll bring you to meet him when we get back. With my introduction, I'm sure you'll get 30% off of his products. Relax Drunk bro, I'll take care of this for you.” Fireball returned to his mercenary group after he had said all this, leaving Gu Fei standing by the roadside like an idiot. This lasted until the five men of Young Master's Elite came by to pick him up.

”So how was it? What reward did the Werewolves give you?” they asked.

Gu Fei took off Mark of the Wolf and showed it to them. He then adjusted his robe properly and fastened his original leather belt.

”WOW!” A string of exclamations sounded as the men passed Mark of the Wolf among them.

Young Master Han was the last one to take it in hand. Tossing it back to Gu Fei, he asked, ”Is this quest for Traversing Four Seas or for you? We haven't been on this expedition for long, yet you've already gotten so much phat lootz.”

Gu Fei shrugged his shoulders as he stuffed the belt inside his dimensional pocket.

”You're not using it?” War Without Wounds asked with a clear glint in his eyes. Given how casual Gu Fei treated the game, getting him to gift the items he did not need was easy.

Easily figuring out War Without Wounds' intention, everyone eyed him with disdain, ”That expression on your face makes you look like a real cheapskate.”

Gu Fei commented, ”The belt is actually pretty good... It's just that the design is ugly.”

”No way! It's really cool-looking!” Royal God Call and War Without Wounds disagreed. These two were the obscene sort, after all. War Without Wounds mentally slapped his mouth when he said that. It's rare for Miles to dislike something, so why am I trying to convince him otherwise?!

”The design isn't the issue here!” Brother Assist said to Gu Fei, ”Players who are skilled in the Tailor crafting profession should be able to alter its look according to your liking. Of course, those who are unskilled will only make it look worse, so it is better to find someone who knows how to design clothes even in reality. I know a person in Yunduan City who is a proficient Tailor, and he happens to be a skilled tailor in reality. Look at what I'm currently wearing; it's something he has specially tailored for me. I'll introduce you to this guy once we return to Yunduan City. I'm sure he'll give you a 30% discount on my account. Don't worry; leave this matter to me.”

Gu Fei did not know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this. Looking Brother Assist squarely in the face, he asked, ”Do you know Fireball?” Following this, Gu Fei lashed out his sword to cleave the newly formed Fireball. This was one disadvantage of being a Mage; as long as what a Mage spoke contained the words for an incantation, the spell would instantly be cast. Any time any two Mages conversed about the spells they knew, the scene would always blaze in flames, with countless balls of fire surrounding their frames, fire wheels rotating above their heads, or raging infernos growing in intensity from beneath their feet. Fireball, Repeating Fireball, and such would appear before them, looking glorious and dangerous.

Brother Assist did not know that a player had the IGN 'Fireball', so he failed to comprehend Gu Fei's meaning. Looking at Gu Fei's departing back, Brother Assist felt fear grip his heart as he asked the other four men, ”Was he threatening me?”

War Without Wounds solemnly patted his arm, ”You better be careful.”

Brother Assist's legs wobbled.

The throng of players continued on their journey. An expansive road and vast plains ahead reassured them of their safety from ambushers. However, this sort of uninterrupted journey was the most boring. Dully moving forward for three hours, they finally saw the outline of another city in the horizon.
