Chapter 76: Day 196 (3) – Enterprise Finds a Method

I entered the shop and there have been various coloured drawings laid out on a few tables.

“Welcome, welcome.” I appeared on the younger girl who stood up. “That is my Outfit Retailer and I’m Elise.”

“What does one buy in an outfit retailer?” I ask.

“Nice query, you see the system retailer can create outfits. However most individuals don’t have a good suggestion what they need or easy methods to exhibit. Right here, I create designs individuals can buy from the shop. All customized after all.”

“Like armor?”

“Hmm, not a lot for the time being, however I can do this. Extra day-to-day outfits at the moment. I’m angling to get the Crimson Daybreak to have me design uniforms. Additionally, skilled outfits.”

“How a lot?” I requested.

“Depends upon the element and what you’ll be able to afford. Every shade provides fifty % to the associated fee from the shop. So, one shade with pants, shirt, boots, and overshirt would run you about 800 factors at base, 1,200 with one shade, and 1,800 with two colours. I cost a tenth of the ultimate outfit worth.”

I did some psychological math. “5 colours for myself and two for him.”

“Actually?” Tom requested.

“I like this, plus I would like a flowery outfit. Tyrese and Ken had been wanting a bit fancy now that I give it some thought. How can they afford greater than me?” I shook my head.

“What colours had been you pondering sir?” Elise requested.

“Golds, darkish blues, blacks, perhaps purple. A dragon sample or two. One thing that appears good however isn’t excessive.”

“Are you able to take away your helmet and sit?”

“After all.” I took a seat and set my helmet on the desk subsequent to me. She was already sketching and me. Tom took a seat as properly.

“Shocked you went for this and never the spices,” Tom stated.

“I can retailer this outfit in my house for my relaxation days. I’ve to lug stuff round for the spices, until you’re volunteering to be full time cart puller.”

“No, you want to rent somebody to do this. Additionally cook dinner. Like a camp butler.”

“A camp butler,” I let loose a sigh. “And the place would one discover a camp butler?” I requested.

“I don’t know. I haven’t been within the metropolis in any respect.”

“Properly, contemplate it your new job. Discover a camp butler and cart puller, in the event you don’t need to do it.”

“What can I supply them?”

“Fifty factors a day in the event that they do all of that. Meals will likely be lined whereas we journey. A mattress and bathe of their very own right here in Purgatory.”N0v3lTr0ve served as the unique host for this chapter’s launch on N0v3l–B1n.

“I should ask round for positive, Elise, any recommendation on the place I might ask?”

“No, perhaps the Union, let me focus.” She was a girl on a mission. Twenty minutes later she completed each drawings.

“Have a look, what do you suppose?” She handed them over. I checked out myself. It was a fast sketch, however properly accomplished.

It was very japanese, because the pants had been flared out. The bottom was a golden yellow, with black japanese sort dragons circling round. There was purple trim. The boots had been purple and gold. The collar of the shirt was purple and purple, there was additionally purple on the cuffs. Lastly, there was a big white dragon on the middle of the outfit together with a purple sash across the waist.

I modified papers with Tom. His was mainly the identical, however no additional colours, threading, or white dragon. Simply gold and black dragons.

“It seems fairly good. What do you suppose?” I requested Tom.

“A bit japanese, however the dragons are good.”

“Give his purple threading and I’ll take each.”

“Sure! I imply, after all. Let me add that in rapidly.” Elise made the addition, a lot better.

“That might be a 3 coloured outfit and a 5 coloured outfit. The Retailer worth is 8,775 complete, which brings your complete at the moment to 900 factors.” I pulled out 18 50-point crystals and put them on the desk. I used to be impressed by her fast sketching expertise and the standard. Superb how individuals might discover a residing on this place, I’d have by no means considered a enterprise like this. Life finds a approach.

“I additionally need you to do armor. Protect, helmet, the works. I need to see one thing good after I return, with their value. Here’s a down fee.” I pulled out 20 extra 50-point crystals.

“After all, I’ll begin immediately. When do you suppose you’ll return?”

“Eight days or so. Crucial factor is that it’s purposeful. No ineffective add-ons. It additionally must be spectacular.”

“After all. After all. Now to buy your outfits, go to the shop and concentrate on the design when buying the respective part. You need to maintain the image in entrance of you whereas buying for the most effective outcomes. I’d make the purchases, however the measurement received’t be good then.”

“That’s fantastic.” I turned to depart.

“Might I ask your identify?” Elise requested.

“Champion Michael,” I stated with a small smile at her lack of know-how and left.

“I’m wanting ahead to a correct meal,” Ruth stated. We slowly walked throughout the plaza, everybody glancing in our path. We reached the restaurant and there was a greeter on the door.

“Greetings, simply the three?”

“Sure, a non-public room, if in case you have it?” I requested.

“After all. We do ask for fee up entrance. For a non-public room, drinks, and full course it’s 1,000 factors per individual.” That was fairly a bit.

“Very properly.” I started laying out 60 50-point crystals on the close by desk.

“Thanks, sir. Please comply with me.” We went as much as a second flooring with a desk by a window. There was a tablecloth and precise copper plates and utensils. Ruth took the seat going through the window whereas Tom and I sat on both aspect of her. I made positive to carry out her chair for her and he or she gave me a smile.

“Good night, my identify is Randolph, and I will likely be your server for the night. At the moment we’ve orange juice, apple juice, and apple cider with a contact of alcohol.”

“Orange juice,” I stated.

“Orange juice,” Tom stated.

“Wonderful decisions. For the appetizer we’ve a vegetarian thai inexperienced curry. How spicy do you like, we’ve cool, scorching, and soften down?”

“Sizzling sounds fantastic,” I stated.

“Similar,” Tom stated.

“For our primary course we’ve vegetable rolls, rice, and vegetarian meatloaf served with our signature sauce. Desert will likely be an orange cream.” Randolph then poured water for every of us. “One second whereas I get your recent bread and butter.”

“Wow, fancy,” Tom stated.

“Spectacular that they’ll do this a lot with what they’ve,” Ruth stated.

“I informed Tom he was in control of discovering our camp butler to cook dinner and pull the cart.”

“Actually, giving him a problem like that. I’m wanting ahead to my cooked meals.”

“Ah, I, um, I would want a while.”

“Don’t fear about it. However you’re caught on cart obligation till you do,” I stated. He let loose a sigh of aid. The recent bread was introduced out together with butter.

“Nonetheless, Ken found out bread, he’s a genius,” I stated.

“Hmmm, I might eat right here day by day,” Ruth stated.

“It isn’t low cost,” I stated.

“So, the journey?” Tom requested.

“Tomorrow morning very first thing. You’ll every receives a commission 20,000 then. On the way in which again we’re stopping by the salt spring and the cliff. I organized for 2 extra individuals to pay out for expertise, hopefully.”

“And our share?” Ruth requested.

“Not altering,” I held up my hand. “Earlier than you complain, you’ll be able to combat the monsters then.”

“I wasn’t, however it’s a whole lot of strolling, for not a whole lot of reward on our finish,” Ruth stated.

“What do you suppose is truthful?” I requested.

“Actually now, after the free dungeons I acquired for each of you and every thing else?”

“You Tom?”

“Um, properly, um…what Ruth stated.”

“I see I’m being ganged up on. Alright that’s fantastic. However future dungeons received’t be free or discounted,” I stated. In the event that they wished to play hardball after my generosity, then I might play hardball as properly. It made our group really feel much less like a newly fashioned household, and extra like a enterprise transaction. That was my fault, I simply wasn’t that good with individuals.

“I perceive, that’s fantastic,” Ruth stated.

“Alright, so long as you’re conscious of that. Additionally, with extra pay means you’re in control of individuals wrangling.”

“Is that like a cow wrangler?” Ruth requested with a smile.

“Roughly messy relying on the way you have a look at it.” I actually stared at her earlier than going again to my bread. I wanted to suppose on the difficulty some extra earlier than making a choice. The field with the earrings stayed in my pack.
