Chapter 88: The Eighty-Eighth Day of the Clothing Crafting Game in Various Styles...
Lao Tzu was the first to complete the design of the garment. It was a light gray robe with long, wide sleeves, neat and orderly. There were no patterns or accessories; it was just two pieces of cloth pieced together to form a garment that could cover the body. The advantage of this design was that the cut was very clean and neat, and it looked and felt dry and comfortable to wear, exactly the same as the one Lao Tzu was wearing.
Seeing that Lao Tzu had only made one, he stopped focusing on game development and gameplay and instead began to study the Faceless Man.
Yuan Yi gritted his teeth and insisted on classifying this sole light gray robe as a Heavenly-grade item. This wasn't just any ordinary garment; it was the same robe worn by the future Taiqing Sage. Designed by the Taiqing Sage himself—its value was unparalleled! Not buying it meant you weren't a true primordial being. One, two, three, buy it!
Yuan Yi had already mentally filled out the advertising slogan and planned to keep the clothes hidden until he became a saint, then take them out and make a killing. Maybe he could even release some game merchandise then, further enriching the Treasure Cliff's inventory.
After happily envisioning the wonderful life of receiving her baby in the future, Yuan Yi turned her attention to the others present.
Nuwa has always been the most enthusiastic about this dress-up game, first making skirts from flowers and grass, and then garments from clouds. However, with the faceless man, there's no need for her to try them on herself or Yuan Yi herself anymore. She can simply add flowers, grass, and snake patterns to the faceless man's clothes to see the effect.
In no time, a light-colored floral dress was made, with vines as the base and colorful flowers as embellishments. The flowing patterns on it resembled mountains and rivers. The sleeves were only a short section, revealing the forearms and the snake's tail below, making one think of the lively little creatures in the mountains and fields just by looking at it.
Nuwa was having a great time playing with the faceless man, while Fuxi, standing nearby, tried adding some divination symbols to the clothes. The wondrous patterns now covered the entire garment. As if waking from a deep dream, he was incorporating these stimuli into the edges and corners of the fabric. At first glance, it appeared to be just an elegant robe. But if you unfolded it closely, you would find that this robe was full of the celestial secrets and insights that Fuxi had divined.
After Fuxi finished making it, he put it on himself, and it suited him quite well. The wide sleeves added a touch of elegance, and the three yarrow stalks pinned to the lapel expressed his aspirations. The person was as he was, and the clothes reflected the person; everything was just right.
Meanwhile, Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun huddled together, chatting and trying out new games. Seeing his tender gaze at the little ginseng fruit tree, and Hongyun even braiding the faceless man's hair, Yuanyi knew for whom the pale silver star-moon robe before them was prepared.
Just then, he met Hongyun's raised eyes. He smiled and nodded to Yuanyi, then took out a few green leaf-shaped tassels from his sleeve and gently pinned them to the faceless man's head.
Even though they were dozens of meters apart, Yuan Yi's face inexplicably flushed, and she quickly looked away. She really wasn't a little kid who needed her brother to prepare clothes for her anymore; there was no need for him to personally design a whole set of hair and accessories for her from head to toe, including styling the hair in advance. Although she liked it very much, she couldn't possibly refuse her brother's kindness.
Fortunately, Hongyun's attention wasn't just on his sister; he also cared about the disciples of Wuzhuang Temple.
He summoned the Great Roc who was standing nearby, treating it along with the long hair on its head, Ao Bing, and the rabbit-hair spirit pearl equally. He gently asked them a few questions and patted their heads one by one. Then he used basic-style clothes to put on the children, modifying the designs as he did so. His hands never stopped, and he used clouds and rosy light to weave the rough outline of the clothes he had modified in the game.
He balanced the game with reality, striving to ensure all the children present received new clothes today. At the same time, he spoke softly to Dapeng and Ao Bing to avoid making the two children feel awkward. Even a reckless spirit pearl was safely contained by a cloud, so it was soft and fluffy when it hit Dapeng's head.
Faced with such thoughtful treatment, Dapeng, who had been half-closing his eyes, could only stop yawning, and like Ao Bing, opened his eyes with a pair of adoring eyes, obediently answering each question. He also appropriately reverted to his original form and snuggled up to Hongyun. It was a scene of harmonious joy, and even Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but nod and smile, extremely satisfied with Dapeng's performance.
Seeing that his disciple had shielded him from his elder brother's favor, Yuan Yi nodded in satisfaction. "Brother is good, Hongyun is good, Dapeng is good, everyone is good. Our Wuzhuang Temple is such a harmonious and joyful family."
Wait, where's Kong Xuan, who's always inseparable from Da Peng? Why isn't he with Da Peng this time?
Yuan Yi turned around and saw that Kong Xuan, who had always been shining brightly, had now restrained his brilliance and stood quietly behind Yuan Shi.
Moreover, he was wearing a dignified and solemn robe, every detail of which seemed to correspond to something in the universe. Although the robe was adorned with countless gorgeous decorations, these layers of solemn and dignified style managed to suppress the ostentatious nature of the precious jewels and ornaments.
Even Kong Xuan, who was usually fond of showing off, wore this outfit and showed a serious expression when facing Yuan Shi. Every move he made seemed to have been measured with a ruler, displaying the demeanor of a great man.
Could this step also have the function of correcting a person's behavior? Yuan Yi recognized at a glance that this was the first Peacock Limitless Tai Qi Robe made by the players. Because it was a game-designed card, even if it appeared on Kong Xuan, it would only be an illusion. No matter what, it could not reach the point of controlling a person's behavior.
However, Kong Xuan's behavior at this moment was indeed different from usual. When he spoke with Yuanshi with a stern face, he was a perfect replica of Yuanshi. His overly serious demeanor even made the shimmering decorations on his clothes seem much more subdued.
However, Yuanshi's expression was extremely relaxed and pleasant, and he became more and more satisfied with Kong Xuan. He even answered Kong Xuan's follow-up questions about the laws of heaven and human relationships with ease.
The words beside him were reasonable and measured, spoken at a leisurely pace. Looking down, one could not only see Kong Xuan's polite demeanor but also meet his focused gaze, sensing the boy's eagerness to learn. Such a suitable student—if Kong Xuan hadn't already become Yuan Yi's disciple, Yuan Shi would have wanted to take him under his wing.
Yuan Shi smoothed out the wrinkles in his robes, finding Kong Xuan increasingly pleasing to the eye. The newly made robe seemed to blend seamlessly with Kong Xuan. Such a destined child; even if he couldn't take him as a disciple to forge a good connection, it would still be good enough.
With a smile in his eyes, Yuanshi answered Kong Xuan's last question and then took the initiative to say, "If you have any questions in the future, you can ask me in the game or come to Kunlun Mountain to find me. Also, this robe you are wearing was originally made for you, and it would be a pity to wear it only in the game. I will make another one for you another day."
"Thank you, Master Yuanshi." Kong Xuan's eyes lit up. The decorations on this garment were as magnificent as his feathers, yet its style exuded majesty, making it the perfect choice for him to dress and discipline his disciples during his lectures.
Indeed, "Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me." Having just followed Master Yuanshi, he not only deepened his understanding of the Great Dao but also learned how to increase his authority during teaching through his words, actions, and etiquette. He'll definitely be able to manage the disciples of Wuzhuang Temple even better next time he teaches.
Thinking about how much he had learned, and how his Uncle Master Yuanshi not only answered all his questions but also gave him a beautiful dress, Kong Xuan's smile became even more genuine. However, his actions remained as measured and courteous as Yuanshi's, and he politely thanked him.
He was practically a carbon copy of Yuan Shi, making Tongtianya, who was watching Yuan Yi's disciples, quite envious. Normally, having Yuan Shi was enough to give him trouble, but after Kong Xuan put on these clothes, he was like a completely different bird, looking exactly like a miniature version of Yuan Shi, which was truly frightening.
He knew that the garment belonging to Yuanshi was definitely not simply drawn with divine thought; there might have been some kind of bewitching array added to it. Otherwise, how could a perfectly normal little bird have transformed into that frightening sight after wearing the garment?
This outfit is bad. He must warn his disciples not to draw it next time it's in their cards! Otherwise, they'll be captured and reprimanded by Yuanshi until they become his replicas before being released.
Tongtian inwardly grumbled for a while, then hurriedly opened the game interface to redesign the clothing. He refused to believe that if his two elder brothers could design Heavenly-level card art, he, as the strongest damage dealer, couldn't do it.
Tongtian tried hard to recall his thought process when designing the golden coat last time, and thought of the photo of Yuan Yi's new hairstyle that he had seen in the game. Suddenly, his thoughts flowed and his inspiration exploded. He used both hands to sketch out a new coat.
In no time, the magical garment with cat ears, a fox tail, and a large cloak of bird feathers appeared before him. Tongtian crossed his arms, admiring the exquisite garment he had designed, which incorporated the strengths of many of his disciples. He was about to show off to Yuan Yi and claim credit when he turned around and met Yuan Yi's indescribable expression.
At this moment, the distance between them was only five inches, and Tongtian could even feel the warm breath of Yuan Yi.
Even if the clothes he designed for Yuan Yi were so beautiful, there was no need to get this close to look at them. Tongtian stiffened and looked away.
Yuan Yi was naturally unaware of Tong Tian's strange thoughts. In fact, Yuan Yi simply noticed that among all the people present, only Tong Tian had not designed a single piece of clothing, yet he happened to be online the longest.
The person had the longest login time, the lowest task completion rate, and was a long-time gamer. Such an unusual record naturally caught Yuan Yi's attention.
She immediately went to Tongtian, wanting to analyze where the problem lay. Just then, the clothes in front of Tongtian were gradually taking shape, so Yuanyi stopped not far away, watching Tongtian make the clothes, intending to disturb him after he finished playing.
But this wait allowed Yuan Yi to discover the crux of the problem; no wonder Tongtian hadn't made a single garment in so long.
Who told him that a piece of clothing could have cat ears, a fox's nine tails, bird feathers, and a long tuft of downy fur that almost reached the ground? Each part looked very nice to touch, but it couldn't be called clothing at all. No wonder it couldn't pass the array's detection, and even now, not a single piece of clothing could be uploaded.
Yuan Yi watched as Tongtian confidently clicked submit, then looked bewildered after the submission failed, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Fine, how about we make a garment together?"

Author's Note: Let's interview Tongtian: Why did you design the clothes this way?
Tongtian: Since I designed clothes for Fellow Daoist Yuanyi last time, based on my experience, I thought the same thing again. I felt that Yuanyi was best suited for the best clothes, so I added all the things he likes to them. They really feel great! [Sunglasses]
Original meaning: [fear]
