Then, the cleaning robot responsible for sanitation carried away the corpses of the two, without any unnecessary steps.
It seemed encountering corpses wasn’t something new for it, as long as they were dealt with normally.
In the shadows, Ye Mingqiu held the clothes, nostalgically thinking of Riddle Gauze. If he had Riddle Gauze, he wouldn’t need to camouflage here; Riddle Gauze’s ability to disguise could solve many problems.
Unfortunately, he could only choose three Core Abilities, and he didn’t have extra slots to select Riddle Gauze.
“Based on that guy’s running posture, Happy Town’s standards for decency must be high. So, merely changing clothes might not be enough to pass the inspection. If the clothes don’t fit, they might even be deemed indecent.”
Ye Mingqiu picked up the clothes, tried them on to size, and clearly felt that the size seemed slightly smaller than his build.
The clothes don’t fit.
Seems a bit troublesome…
….
The next morning,
Ye Mingqiu arrived at the entrance of Happy Town. The gatekeeper looked at him suspiciously, frowned, and asked, “Friend, what’s with your outfit? It looks odd to me.”
“Odd? This is my unique art, please don’t use such words to slander mine.”
Ye Mingqiu replied unhappily.
At this moment, he had directly cut open the overly narrow side waistlines, leaving them as long slits running from the armpit down to the hem without sewing them, fixing them internally with liquid Blood Spear to keep the clothing relatively stable.
The original shoulders were too narrow, so Ye Mingqiu cut off the shoulder line, transforming it into a slightly dropped shoulder look, removing the original unified disciplinary feeling, instantly adding a sense of nonchalance, coolness, and individuality.
The overly tight cuffs were directly cut open, turning into three-quarter length hems, revealing forearm lines, convenient for movement while conveying a special aggressiveness.
This entire professional tailoring was designed by Tang Ruobing overnight upon Ye Mingqiu’s request.
Clothing doesn’t necessarily have to fit perfectly to look good, as long as the tailoring skill is high enough, it can also showcase a special aesthetic. If the clothing doesn’t fit and is dismissed because of that, it’s just plain stupid.
“Hiss… upon closer inspection, it does look quite nice, has a kind of special aesthetic, I’ve never seen this style before.” The gatekeeper watched closely, feeling increasingly itchy in his heart.
He leaned in quietly and asked, “Brother, did you design these clothes yourself? I think they’re nice, can you make me a set too?”
“Hmm… sure, it’s just about the price…”
“Price is not an issue! I have money!”
The gatekeeper replied with a smile.
His position is not simple; as the screen gatekeeper of Happy Town, he has the authority to decide whether residents can enter or leave, determine if they’re decent, or call a Steward for optimization if necessary.
Thus, many who seem decent but lack details might bribe him with certain Order Points to ensure their safety.
This is quite common in Happy Town.
Over time, the gatekeeper accumulated quite a bit of funds in his hands.
“Come, let me help you look over, and then decide on the price.” Ye Mingqiu said.
“Alright.”
The gatekeeper stood up and came in front of him.
This stationed gatekeeper is a man around forty, wearing the town’s uniform, appearing relatively formal.
“Just out of curiosity, are you planning to redesign the uniform or create an everyday outfit?”
Ye Mingqiu asked.
“Just modify the uniform directly, Happy Town is quite accommodating, not overly picky.”
The gatekeeper replied with a smile.
“Alright.”
Ye Mingqiu nodded.
Although he said it, believing him might be risky. If he dares to alter the clothes like that, he must have the confidence to do so, or from another perspective, since he occupies that position, there must be a reason he holds it.
A gatekeeper in Happy Town, not just anyone can do this; the position is not simple.
“Finished evaluating, if altering the clothes, I’d need a day for design and another for modifications, is that okay?” Ye Mingqiu asked tentatively.
“Two days… no problem.”
The gatekeeper said cheerfully, “Then, I’ll give you 200 Order Points.”
[Prompt: You have accepted the task – Tailoring Clothes]
Task Objective: Tailor clothes for the Happy Town gatekeeper that he desires and get his approval.
Task Reward: 200 Order Points, 50 Level Experience, 1 Core Skill Point.
Failure Penalty: 200 Order Points fine, Gatekeeper’s favorability reduced to negative.
This task is indeed not simple.
The rewards for completing the task are very generous, and the penalty for failure is equally terrifying. A 200 Order Points fine is a significant sum for most Spiritualists/Transcenders. After paying the fine, one would basically enter the optimization line.
The second downside, reducing the gatekeeper’s favorability to negative, is even scarier. To enter or exit Happy Town, it’s always through the gatekeeper, and if he decides to make things difficult deliberately… then one can forget about living comfortably afterward.
“By the way, what kind of style do you like?”
“I like artistic style.”
“…Alright.”
This description is somewhat abstract.
