Chapter 21 Good luck in opening
But the only people who can come up with this amount of 888 copper coins are the members of the team that goes out of the city to clear the wilderness every day.
When Bai Rou saw this suit, she just wanted to buy it. It was beautiful and had high defense. Although she was a long-range magician, this did not stop her from liking beautiful clothes.
The sleazy man who had previously asked the store manager what the highest level was said coldly, "Wow, bronze-level equipment is women's clothing, why is there no men's clothing? Is this store of the city lord discriminating against women?"
The onlookers, especially girls like Bai Rou, rolled their eyes at him. This guy was just looking for trouble.
The store manager said calmly, "The men's suit failed to be made. We'll sell it when it's successfully made."
The man was choked by the store manager's words. He snorted and didn't dare to continue looking for trouble. He was afraid that he would be arrested by the patrolling NPC as a troublemaker.
"What a bummer..." The petite girl next to Bai Rou couldn't help but complain.
Bai Rou even pulled the girl, thinking that she really shouldn't ridicule the man in person.
The wretched man didn't dare to confront the NPC, but he couldn't tolerate anyone else.
"What does that bitch have to do with you?" The wretched man raised his voice and his expression changed accordingly. Now he was trying hard to open his squinting eyes to glare at the girl who was talking to him.
The petite, round-faced girl wasn't convinced either. She retorted, "Why? Crafting equipment has a chance of failure, and you're saying it's intentional not selling men's clothing and sexist. What a smear campaign!"
Many girls nodded, thinking that this man might be a misogynist.
"Who can say for sure? You didn't make the equipment. If he says it failed, then it failed. Maybe he's deliberately hiding it and not selling it, just to flatter you women."
The wretched man's eyes were full of contempt, and he didn't forget to look at these girls. When his gaze fell on Bai Rou, he swallowed his saliva.
A girl nearby couldn't stand it anymore and fired back, "Fuck you, you're a complete misogynist. You open your mouth and say sexism, then shut up and say the NPC flatters our stinky feet. But who's feet are smelly?"
"Exactly. What kind of world are we in now? They're still using the same old tricks. Isn't that disgusting?"
"He ruined my good shopping mood."
Bai Rou and other girls looked at the wretched man coldly. This guy was really disgusting. He cursed women, but when he saw a pretty girl, he wanted to stare at her.
He really thought they couldn't see that lustful look in his eyes.
The wretched man was surrounded by a group of people. In the end, he pretended to be arrogant and said some harsh words before leaving. Several girls directly sent emails to him asking to go out and fight him one-on-one.
How could the wretched man dare to do that? He ran away without looking back. He didn't have a professional career, but just came to join in the fun because there were many girls in the tailor shop and to take a look at the beauties.
Asking the store manager what the best equipment is is purely a desire to show off; there's no way he could possibly afford it.
After a while, he was so engrossed in his talk that he lost himself in it until a girl wanted to challenge him. Then he remembered that this was not the same world as before. Anyone who had started a professional career could defeat him effortlessly, even if it was a girl who looked very weak.
Seeing that the wretched man ran away without any momentum, Bai Rou pinched the round-faced girl's face.
"You, even if you're unhappy, you can't say it to someone's face. This time you said that person was bluffing and talking nonsense and had no real ability. If you meet someone with real ability, you might suffer. This is not the rule of law society we used to have."
The round-faced girl knew she was doing something wrong, and nodded pitifully with her puffy cheeks, "I was wrong. It was just that this person kept staring at you with those disgusting eyes, and I couldn't help myself."
Bai Rou knew that the man had been looking at her many times, but she had no evidence and if she made a fuss, he would probably deny it. She had encountered this kind of situation before.
"I know you mean well. Pick out a piece of brown iron-level clothing you like today, and I'll pay for it."
"Sister Rou, you are so kind... Wait a moment, let me pick carefully."

There are more girls in the tailor shop and more boys in the forging shop. These shops sell used weapons.
From various swords, spears, shields to exquisite magic wands, everything is available. What attracts the men's attention most is a sniper rifle, but this can only be used by archers.
The forging shop also generally sells brown iron-level weapons. The eye-catching sniper rifle is a bronze-level weapon. Although it is priced at 1,999 copper coins, it was finally bought.
Compared to other stores which are mostly staffed by professionals, department stores are more approachable to the general public. They sell a wide variety of products, including food ingredients that cannot be found outside the city, as well as household items, cosmetics, decorations, home appliances and furniture.
It covers most of the products needed for life, and they are of good quality and low price, but the most lively place is the playground on the third floor.
Zhuang Yun brought his daughter to queue up for the card early in the morning. Most of the people who came were minors.
When it was An An's turn, she handed the copper coins to the store manager with both hands. There were 30 coins in total, all of which she earned herself.
The store manager handed her a pink card and said, "This is your card. You can use it to play any game here from now on. There will be no extra charges."
An An held the card very dearly, "Thank you, Auntie."
"You're welcome."
After An An entered, she went to the carousel. She placed the card on the card reader, and the next second a green √ appeared on the screen.
She jumped onto the carousel, and when all the children who had swiped their cards were on, the carousel started to move. An An felt like she had returned to the past, when she used to play like this in the amusement park.
Lu Jiu looked at the real-time updated data in the background and gained a new understanding of the thickness of the wallets of the city residents.

The residents of Xuantian City were busy shopping, but the people from the outer cities felt unhappy because the financial resources of the Lord of Xuantian City were more abundant than they thought.
As soon as it was upgraded to a second-level city-state, two more shops were opened and there was also an amusement park for children to play. The man with a crew cut couldn't understand why he thought that with this money he might as well open a bar.
Moreover, the items they sell are much better than those sold in their city-state shops. For example, in the tailor shop, most of the clothes made by the NPC in the Phantom City tailor shop are ordinary-level clothes, with a few brown iron-level ones occasionally.
Unexpectedly, the most basic level here is the brown iron level, and the bronze level was bought before they even had a chance to see it.
It’s okay if they can’t buy the bronze level, they can still buy the brown iron level, which will also bring profit when they sell it back in Phantom City.
The few of them were even more depressed when they went to the drugstore. The quality of the vitality agents here was much better than theirs. The ones they could buy before only added 5 to 20 Qi and blood.
Who would have thought that the most basic thing in Xuantian City would directly add 30 points of health and physical strength.
After the purchase, everyone remained silent. Xuantian City was much better than their city-state.
"Hey, did you hear that? The archer from the Crazy Dragon team spent 1999 copper coins to get a bronze-level sniper rifle. Wow, it turns out everyone in the team is rich."
"I saw it. That sniper rifle is really cool. I couldn't get my hands on it before, but I didn't expect to be able to use it here."
There is an archer in the team of men with crew cuts. He himself is a fan of hot weapons. When he heard that someone bought a sniper rifle, and it was a bronze level one, he instantly became dispirited.
He also wanted to buy a sniper rifle...
