Chapter 309 (2/2)

Airy once again took out the ring. “This ring…”

Ye Cang turned away and sighed. He cupped his fist and said, “Don’t say anymore. Memories are priceless. I’ll take my leave…”

“……” Airy once against watched that wolf leather cloaked back, and broke out in cold sweat.

Ye Cang sighed, bored once again. He arrived at the spirit academy to see what Fang Ci was doing. He saw him holding a bone and some other things and was studying it seriously, so he turned and left. He came back to the auction house. There wasn’t an auction today, so he ran to the association, and picked a few odd job quests. One was to be a temp at the barber shop. The reward was even a small chest. He helped the old barber with his work, and even learned a hair cutting skill, so was able to act as a part-time barber. He managed to earn the old barber’s respect with his exquisite haircutting skills. His every cut followed the template exactly. The old barber taught him all the key tricks. When Little Mar saw that the one cutting his hair would be Ye Cang, he was somewhat astonished. This guy actually came to become a barber? When the haircut was finished, he examined his long blond hair which was perfectly trimmed and his eyebrows that were just right. Ye Cang even made use of his modern knowledge and used heat to give Little Mar’s straight hair a wavy look. He change the style into hair that was parted down the middle. Little Mar now looked extremely graceful and handsome, but still had a heroic aura. He looked in the mirror, extremely pleased. He called his fiancee over, and Ye Cang once again used heat but to straighten her hair. Very quickly, the barber shop became extremely popular.

Even Linda had come over to have him trim and curl her hair, free of charge of course. Ye Cang used the styles he had learn from the hair stylist in the capital – Carry, turning it into an extremely avant-garde style in the game. Along with her extremely large chest, her beauty was peerless. Even Little Mar gaped at those jugs that had been enhanced by the hair. His fiancee glowered at Ye Cang. Ye Cang broke out in cold sweat, and helped her make her hair even more fashionable. In order to diversify, Ye Cang even logged out of the game, to looked through a modern book for barbers and asked ThornyRose for Carry’s number to consult her. Just like that, Mary and Airy also came, and left satisfied. The price for one of Ye Cang’s haircuts continuously increased. And thus, in a single day, he rose to become Black Rock City’s Golden Scissors, become the best barber in Black Rock City. The hidden attribute Charisma increased, and then he retired, making everyone endlessly sorry. The store was now bursting with customers. The old barber who had been learning from Ye Cang was not much worse than him, and he also charged less. However, Ye Cang’s value was in his fame. The old barber urged him to stay to make use of his reputation, but he could only sigh and give up. He handed over the chest, and gifted him a set of mithril scissors, wolf bone comb, and a barber cover. “Come back when you have time. You’ll always be welcome here…”

When ThornyRose found out, she couldn’t stop shivering. Is that his class training? She tried calling him, “How much did you earn?”

“None of your goddamn business…”Ye Cang replied, in a bad mood, then directly hung up. Thinking back, he had actually earned over 60 gold coins with his hairstyling. Although it wasn’t as much as selling equipment, but it was pretty good extra income. He had even earned a title and a point in the hidden attribute Charisma, as well as a new profession. He looked at his new profession on the stats page: Barber – Intermediate Level. He had just advanced to intermediate earlier without using a single point. He didn’t understand how that had happened. He took out a pair of mithril scissors, equipped it, and began fixing up his own hair.

“Congratulations, you’ve triggered the mithril scissor’s effect. Your new hairstyle makes you feel extra calm. +1% Intelligence, +3 Charisma, +1% Will.”

Ye Cang froze. Oh~~ So you can do that too. This barber skill is not bad. Although it doesn’t add much, but it’s still extra attributes. I guess I was looking down on the art of styling. I almost neglected it. However, it seems it requires special high quality scissors and the skill. I must learn more about it, but I can’t do my hair anymore. I’ll wait for A’Xiong and the others to come back, and I can do my experiments on them.

“That damn lowlife…” Meanwhile, on the other side of the call, ThornyRose – who had been hung up on – was angrily gnashing her teeth.

Following the end of the first round of training, the new round began. Most of the players chose to return to levelling, sighing over the amount of time the training had taken up. However, it was the most stable way to earn talents. Even CloudDragon and FlameEmperor didn’t skip it.

When FrozenCloud learned that Ye Cang’s ‘training’ had been in the barber shop, her expression became strange. NalanPureSoul was thinking about when he should ask Ye Cang for a haircut. As for NalanMoon, she was thinking about how prejudice Ye Cang was. If she were to go to him for a haircut, only god knows if he would pretend to mess up, and make her regret for days. The thoughts she was having was exactly what Ye Cang wanted to do to ThornyRose.

Ye Cang convened with his party who had completed training. He took out his hairstyling tools, and told them how his haircuts could increase their stats. FrozenCloud expression was monstrous. So it seriously was his class training? Her heart rate quickened, but she also had a bad premonition. Given his character, what would he do to her hair?

Ye Cang first started with FrozenCloud’s twin braids. He directly chopped the two braids off, and boldly cut it into 3cm long short and messy hair. It gave her a very refreshing look. Seeing how Ye Cang had chopped off her twin braids as if he were chopping up bodies, she was almost about to cry, but discovered that the results were pretty good. It was a gender-neutral style, and gave +1% Strength, +1% Dexterity, +1% Constitution, and +3 Charisma. Not bad.

After some though, Ye Cang didn’t change Wu Na’s hair much. He just gave it a little trim. There wasn’t much change appearance wise, but she got +1% intelligence and wisdom. After that, everyone in the team got their hair done, including the newly arrived, black robed Fang Ci. As for SpyingBlade, Ye Cang wanted to shave his head bald, leaving only a crescent moon behind, but he saw those longswords that were ready to attack at any time, and could only sigh. He’s really a hard guy to joke with. The last to go was OldWangFromNextDoor. Ye Cang looked at his hair, and thought. It’s a bit greasy. With a few cuts, he reduced it to a bowl cut, and nodded satisfied.

OldWangFromNextDoor saw that he had more stat increases than the others. +1% Intelligence, Wisdom, Constitution, and Will, but his Charisma actually fell by 1. What is going on? They all had positive charisma. He took out a mirror, saw his bowl cut, and made a bitter face. “Boss, I…”

“Ok, let’s head out… Bal Town’s foundation should be complete. Let’s go take a look.” Ye Cang brought his team out. OldWangFromNextDoor didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. FrozenCloud faintly smiled, “I had to wear twin braids for so long. Now it’s your turn. Don’t worry, it looks very… good…”

OldWangFromNextDoor sighed. Is there no one on this team who’s not two-faced? Boss, who am I kidding, he’s the king of two-facedness. Brother Le, eh, he’s two-faced without even knowing he’s doing it. Brother Xiong. He broke out in cold sweat. He’s someone who directly negotiates with his weapons. Everyone else, besides sister Nana… Sister Lil’Dino is a bit better. SpyingBlade is hard to say, him and boss are frequently stabbing each other in the back. Little Tian, mm, she’s like she came out of the same mold as boss. As for the new guy, although he doesn’t say much, but to be able to become boss’s disciple, he’s probably not a good person. Thinking up to there, he sighed heavily.
