Chapter 93: Chapter 92: Thousand Faces Clothes

According to Grandpa Shom’s suggestion, Mu Ying decided to artificially destroy the withered seedling of the Gantiya Demon Tree, sell the Vampire Blood Essence, and keep the slightly active roots to try to cultivate herself.

Although Grandpa Shom thought that transforming into a vampire with many weaknesses using this Vampire Blood Essence wasn’t worth the trouble, the small bottle of essence was still a precious item that could allow for a change in species, and it needed a suitable place to be sold.

At this stage, NPCs were certainly more wealthy than players. After looking through the shop recruitment pages and finding no better options, Mu Ying’s eyes settled on the exaggerated Big copper coin at the corner of the shop street.

"Welcome, what do you want to buy?"

Tongbi 559 put down the steaming health tea he was holding, shook the coin-patterned clothes, and squinted as he stood up.

Mu Ying placed the small glass bottle containing Vampire Blood Essence on the table.

Originally indifferent, Tongbi 559 started to breathe heavily and took out a magnifying glass for a careful inspection.

After the inspection, he calmly put down the magnifying glass and said, "This is a bottle of blood containing power; the power isn’t concentrated, one gold..."

Mu Ying waved her hand, "This is my drop, I know what it’s used for. I don’t want to exchange for money. Do you have anything here that suits my needs? As you know, I don’t lack money. I can wait and introduce it to other fairer shops later, like an auction house, for example."

"What are you saying? ’Fairness’ is written into our employees’ guidelines at Copper Coin Trading Company, we definitely won’t disappoint you," Tongbi 559 said with a smile. "I was just about to suggest, how about exchanging it for a blue-quality piece of equipment? The headquarters provided several blue-quality pieces of equipment recently for the shop, and one of them seems quite suitable for you."

"Oh?" Mu Ying showed interest.

Tongbi 559 quickly took out a stack of clothes, "Please have a look! This Thousand Faces Clothes is crafted by our chief clothing master Cortina, referencing Witch Soya’s masterpiece Thousand Faces Set from the Ancient Era. It’s a combination of beauty and practicality, highly favored by powerful female professionals. It’s in high demand outside, and it’s only for expanding new markets that this small shop managed to get one. If you decide to make the exchange, I personally can add a sample copy of ’Lady’s Wardrobe’ for your convenience in using the Thousand Faces Clothes."

Mu Ying opened the clothes nonchalantly. The Thousand Faces Clothes didn’t seem special on the surface, but when unfolded, it was a large piece of pure white fabric.

[Thousand Faces Clothes]

[Quality: Blue Rare]

[Effect 1: Thousand-faced Wardrobe: The material and appearance of the clothes can change at will, including all wearable parts. One piece of clothing is equivalent to a wardrobe.]

[Effect 2: Automatic Repair: When the clothes are damaged less than 50%, they can automatically repair themselves.]

[Effect 3: Speed and Defense: Choose between agility +2 or defense power +200.]

[Note: Material changes do not affect the Thousand Faces Clothes effects, except for waterproofing, warmth, and heat dissipation properties.]

After reviewing the equipment information, Mu Ying retracted her previous view. The appearance of these clothes was indeed its highlight. After all, it could change at will, and the Thousand Faces Clothes truly lived up to its name.

However, as a blue-quality piece of clothing, the defense boost wasn’t outstanding, even somewhat poor. It was comparable to the green-quality lock armor at Paul’s Armor Store, and the agility and defense boost couldn’t work simultaneously; only one could be chosen.

Tongbi 559 wasn’t wrong; these clothes were very suitable for her, or rather, for the spellcasters in her territory, especially the female spellcasters.

Wearing too heavy equipment would affect spell casting.

Mages could only wear cloth armor, while druids were slightly better, able to wear non-metallic light armor like cloth and leather armor.

Unfortunately, the higher-quality equipment at Paul’s Armor Store was mostly metal, as metallic armor naturally provided higher defense power, making it easier to produce high-quality gear than cloth or leather armor.

The defensive effect of the Thousand Faces Clothes was only average among blue-quality equipment, but Mu Ying didn’t have better options. As for introducing more advanced shops, that was just to bluff Tongbi 559.

These shops had requirements for territory population, as well as the overall strength and consumption ability of the residents.

At this stage, territories were only exchanging information on forums, with no direct communication. Everyone was cautiously exploring the surroundings, with few migrations happening, making significant population growth difficult unless she found a species similar to Mushroom Men. The residents’ overall strength and consumption ability were also far behind.

After weighing the pros and cons, Mu Ying decided to make the exchange. She could use the Thousand Faces Clothes for now and later equip better gear while the clothes’ appearance-changing function allowed it to adapt to various occasions without affecting the comfort of other equipment.

"Come again next time!"

Having just completed a big transaction, Tongbi 559 smiled with visible wrinkles, showing that it had brought him considerable benefits.

Mu Ying took the newly acquired Thousand Faces Clothes and ’Lady’s Wardrobe’ back to the tree house without a care.

Seeing the familiar Copper Coin emblem in the corner of the sample copy, she realized that the so-called friendship gift from Tongbi 559 was actually a product of the Copper Coin Trading Company, possibly intended to be included with the Thousand Faces Clothes.

Indeed, the ’Lady’s Wardrobe’ was more of a promotional booklet for Copper Coin Clothing Store, filled with various clothing pictures and marked prices, along with the shops on different planets or dimensions under the Copper Coin Trading Company, where these could be purchased.

Mu Ying learned many place names from the sample copy. The Doomsday Game must have originated from a vast and prosperous world; otherwise, a single trading company wouldn’t have shops spanning different planets and dimensions.

The sample copy showcased various clothing styles, including casual, combat, and formal wear. By comparing the pictures in the booklet, Mu Ying could transform the Thousand Faces Clothes to match the corresponding styles, covering everything from clothes to shoes and hats, achieving complete versatility.

As a normal girl, Mu Ying also loved beautiful clothes, but overly ornate ones, while lovely, would never be worn as casual wear. She preferred practical clothing for everyday wear and kept elaborate ones for private viewings. In public, she favored modesty and practicality.

She lastly combined the patterns and decorations from the booklet with styles from the witch magic school uniform, recording a set of casual wear and combat gear into the Thousand Faces Clothes.

Casual wear included a long dress with black background and dark green floral patterns, lined with a robe, tights, and short boots.

Combat gear included dark green background, black-edged pants, and long boots.

Both the casual and combat wear belts had three buckles to hang the Witch’s Book, storage pouch, and seedling grass basket.

Standing in front of the dressing mirror, Mu Ying finally felt life becoming more refined rather than just barely getting by.

Shi Yin figurine glanced at Mu Ying, then looked at itself, sneaking under the bed. Moments later, it emerged with a red face, its top turning dark green and pants black.

Mu Ying noticed its subtle actions and couldn’t help but smile.
