==================
In order to prevent them from being targeted by those with ulterior motives, Lian Yun only gave each person 20 gold coins and put them in their pockets.
Jamie's hands were shaking as he took the gold coins.
"Too much..." This man, who always had a deadpan expression but a sinister background music, showed a look of panic for the first time. "Lord Gerry said that even if you have money, you can't be too extravagant."
Lian Yun choked and held his forehead.
Why is Gerry everywhere?
Although she was in a small town, there was a humanoid surveillance camera watching her at all times.
"There's no such thing as a free lunch, but there are public procurements." Lian Yun winked at him and announced to the others righteously, "Everyone knows we're here in Kuoge for a mission. The first is to gather information. No matter what you hear, you must remember it firmly. We'll review it together when we return tonight."
Several people nodded heavily.
Since it concerns the survival of the town, they naturally dare not be vague.
"The second task is to study," Lian Yun said diligently. "Do you know what studying means?"
Jamie pondered the meaning of the word seriously, then raised his hand and said, "I know. Before I left, Lanna and Lord Gerry both told me to pay attention to the guard system in Quoge City. You also said that we should learn from the good and abandon the bad."
"Those guards just let people in after asking a few questions, and chat casually while on guard. This is absolutely wrong." Jamie has a good sense of self-management. Without Lian Yun saying much, he will naturally distinguish what he should and should not remember.
"I feel very relieved to leave the guarding mission to you." Lian Yun sighed.
A resolute light flashed across Jamie's dark face: "Thank you for your trust, sir!"
"Of course, learning doesn't just involve reading; it also involves memorizing and doing. But we don't have the conditions to remember everything right now, so we have to take some things away and return to town to study."
Lian Yun continued calmly, "We don't have any clothes in our town. With so many people, we can't just wear the same one or two pieces every day, right? We have the means, and if that gets out, people will laugh at us. Of course, we're bringing the clothes back for research, so?"
Lina nodded in agreement: "You should buy it!"
"I just saw a weapons shop in the window. We need it even more. Although Gerry has skills, we don't have the raw materials. We can't let the town guards fiddle with wooden swords every day. It's not right."
Jamie stared blankly at Lian Yun, who had a serious face.
The Lord truly cares about them...
"There are also some farm tools, medicines, and daily necessities. You should also bring back more raw materials. Anyway, I will try to pack as much as I can into my bag, and you just need to take the small things with you." Lian Yun clapped his hands twice, like a tour guide in a scenic spot holding up a small flag to ask tourists to buy souvenirs.
"Let's go."
Instead of going their separate ways, they went downstairs and headed straight for the clothing store on the next street.
After all, without a mobile phone, the sound transmission talisman cannot be used unless it is a critical moment. Moreover, they have just arrived, and if something happens, no one else can get there in time.
Arriving at the clothing store, a few people walked into the store and immediately a clerk came up to them and asked about their purchasing intentions.
"We have leather and cloth ones. It depends on how many of you are together... Are you going to form an adventure team? Then I recommend the leather ones. Our store cooperates with the leather store next door to launch these. They are all monster skins that were newly obtained last month. The defense is definitely this good!" The tall and thin guy smiled and gave a thumbs up.
Clothing stores often open next to leather shops.
Although people during this period still had habitat problems, they were able to be self-sufficient and survival was not so difficult.
On the one hand, you can get a bounty by handing in tasks for the monsters you kill; on the other hand, the monster's fur has more or less defensive power and can be sold to leather shops to make protective gear.
Lian Yun looked at the clothes on the wall and took out a parchment scroll from his arms.
With a gentle shake, a meter long piece fell off.
Lina came forward: "Sister, what is this?"
Lian Yun smiled slightly under Jamie's gaze: "This is what everyone wants to buy."
She asked everyone one by one and wrote them down last night. Today she will be like Santa Claus and grant every wish.
Jamie: ...unpredictable.jpg
Lian Yun acted calmly and followed Lina as she looked at her wish list and chose clothes.
Soon, the clothes were taken down from the wall one by one and piled up on the counter.
The two waiters each held a pile of food in their arms. The boss, who was covered by clothes behind the counter, was grinning from ear to ear. He was counting the bill and packing the food, wishing he had two more hands.
Each piece of clothing is different, and each compartment of the backpack can only hold the same things. Lian Yun plans to leave some for larger items.
Jamie and Lana had to take the clothes back to the hotel for the time being.
Although they were very low-key, they still attracted a lot of attention when they walked out of the clothing store.
"By the way, I have a piece of leather here. What do you think of it?" After seeing Lana and Jamie off, Lian Yun turned around and said to the owner.
The owner nodded repeatedly.
Lian Yun put down the backpack behind her that was used to conceal her telekinesis ability and took out a large piece of animal skin from it.
The owner's eyes lit up instantly.
Before Lian Yun could spread it on the ground, the shop owner rushed over to hold up the hide: "Don't, don't spread it on the ground, just look at it like this."
His expression was tense. He stretched out his palm and scratched the animal hide, and the muscles under his eyes trembled.
"this……"
He slowly retracted his hand and looked at Lian Yun with a more serious and solemn look: "I have been in this industry for decades and have never seen such fur."
"It's better than any monster fur I've ever seen. I believe if it were made into clothing, it would have excellent defensive properties," the shopkeeper said, a hint of regret in his eyes. "It's just that I can't make it."
The idea that Lian Yun had just formed was dismissed again: "Why can't I do it?"
The shop owner shook his head and sighed, "It's too expensive. I don't dare to make it casually. It takes too long and requires too many steps. If you want to make clothes, I suggest you go to the main city."
Lian Yun paused.
This was the number of times she had heard the word "main city".
"Does the main city have this kind of craftsmanship?"
"I know an elderly tailor, but it's been years since we last met, and he doesn't like to show up. I studied with him for a while, but I don't even know his name. After all these years, I'm not sure if he's still around."
Lian Yun nodded thoughtfully: "Okay."
She was about to leave with Buck and Lina when she suddenly felt a force sinking down at the corner of her clothes.
Lian Yun turned around and found that it was Buck who pinched her cloak.
The handsome young man lifted a corner of his snow-white cloak and looked up, "Boss, do you think this is the stitch?"
Lian Yun:! ?
The shop owner was startled when he heard this and went over to the cloth to rub it carefully for a while.
Suddenly, he raised his head and said with certainty, "This is it! I remember the stitching and lining materials clearly. That's who made it!"
"So you know that guy? Doesn't that make things easier?" the shop owner sighed. "Isn't it that he made the guard's cloak just now? He's truly a master, and he's something else entirely."
Buck said calmly, "My sister's clothes are all custom-made. I don't know who made them."
The shop owner smiled and said, "I understand. Now that I have a way, there's no need to put the fur aside."
Lian Yun was pulled out of the store before he came back to his senses from the shock of "the boss is actually next to me".
She knew that Mr. Rock was a magician and also a tailor.
But he is so powerful?
Buck explained, "Mr. Rock said he often received tailoring orders when he was in the main city, and he would do it in his spare time between teaching. It's his hobby, but he said it's more interesting to him than magic."
Lian Yun nodded.
She understands slacking off at work.
"When Lanner and the others come back, we'll go to the weapons store and pick out some suitable items for them..."
As soon as he stepped out of the store, a shadow passed by him quickly, and an ominous feeling instantly enveloped Lian Yun.
Lian Yun reached out and touched it.
The wallet around my waist is missing.
"Catch the thief! Don't let him run away!!" More than one person was shouting behind him.
The hurried footsteps behind him gradually approached, and the shadow suddenly staggered a few times and fell in the middle of the street.
Lian Yun looked carefully and saw that it was a thin boy about the same age as Buck. The moment he fell, Lian Yun saw that he was holding four or five wallets of various types in his hands, including hers.
The people chasing him rushed forward. Five or six sturdy guards surrounded the boy and beat him up, kicking and punching him while cursing, "You are so naughty at such a young age!"
"See if you dare to do it again!..."
People from the shops on both sides of the street came out to watch the excitement, and the vendors along the street pointed towards the center.
Lian Yun stood by and watched without saying anything until she realized that the little boy had not made any sound since he fell.
She frowned, took a few steps forward and coughed, "Guard brother, can you let me take my wallet first?"
A guard with a free hand looked her up and down, then turned around and patted his companion: "Hey, stop for a moment and return this lady's wallet to her first."
The delicate little girl standing there didn't look like she came from an ordinary family. They heard that a group of people who seemed to be nobles entered the city early this morning, and it might be her.
"Thank you." Lian Yun nodded modestly.
The guards dispersed, revealing the thin, frail, ragged boy lying on the ground.
He pressed his head tightly against the ground, his eyes closed in agony, his entire body curled up like a worm, his body covered in bruises, clearly he was often beaten.
His skinny spine protruded high, and the imperceptible rise and fall of his spine indicated that he was still breathing weakly.
But he still held the wallet tightly in his arms.
Lian Yun said softly: "Can you return my wallet to me?"
The boy turned a deaf ear.
Lian Yun sighed softly. She couldn't bear to let the guards continue to kill the boy.
She turned back to look at the guard: "Big brother, what are you going to do with him later?"
Guard: "Miss, we have to put him in jail."
The guards seemed afraid that this little girl, who had never seen the sufferings of the world, would soften her heart and ask them to release her.
"How about this, if you return the wallet, I can guarantee that they won't beat you again." Lian Yun said patiently. This was all she could do.
She is not a saint and cannot forgive him on behalf of everyone whose wallet was stolen. Besides, being sneaky is not a good thing and he needs to be taught a lesson.
After a long time, the boy's eyelids moved and slowly opened a crack.
Lian Yun half-knelt in front of him and clearly saw the coldness in his eyes.
Lian Yun was stunned.
She was very familiar with this look.
...It was very similar to the desperate and indifferent look that Lana had accumulated over several days and nights when he first met her.
"This kid isn't the first time he's been in jail. I'm guessing he'll be locked up for over a month this time. What's his mother going to do?"
The boy was taken away. Lian Yun, Buck and Lina stood on the roadside, watching his heavy and embarrassed back gradually go away. Suddenly, he heard an aunt next to him say this.
Lian Yun frowned slightly and found the person who had spoken: "Isn't this the first time?"
The aunt nodded, then shook her head, feeling very disappointed. "This kid was fine a few years ago, but he's become even more depraved since his mother fell ill. He's been in jail every other day, and this time he's probably going to be in jail for a long time. His mother is still lying in bed, with no one to take care of her..."
…
The aunt had just finished speaking when she suddenly heard a commotion in the distance, which made Lian Yun look up.
This was the direction the boy was escorted away.

The author has something to say:
GARY: Be sure to keep an eye on the lady and don't let her squander her money too obviously.
Lian Yun: I understand. You must spend it lavishly.
