Chapter 14: The Elf Flower Robe Fashion Show

After the 50%-off shopping spree, Hua Diao wasn't in a hurry to leave the space. Instead, she rummaged through the supplies, found a bathtub, and poured in some mineral water, planning to bathe before heading out.

She had been running around, sweating profusely, leaving her whole body sticky and uncomfortable. Now that she had the means, a good wash was definitely in order.

At the same time, she realized the limitations of her space. While it had land, water, and supplies, it lacked a grand villa, proper rooms, a bathtub, or a stove. She couldn't bathe properly or cook here.

This was a significant issue. What if she had to stay in the space while fighting monsters outside and couldn't return home in time? She'd be completely unequipped.

Developing the space had to be prioritized immediately!

However, she couldn't do it alone. She wasn't a mason or an electrician; building a villa by herself was impossible. She'd have to rely on the game system.

She recalled reading in the novel that monsters dropped all sorts of bizarre items—some could instantly construct a villa, while others, like a magical pot, could cook delicious meals just by adding ingredients.

With these practical tools, she wouldn't have to worry about being cut off from water or electricity, stuck with supplies but unable to enjoy a hot meal.

Filled with renewed vigor, Hua Diao suddenly felt her back pain, leg aches, and lingering fears vanish. She was ready to take on ten more werewolves!

But to do a good job, one must first sharpen one's tools. If she wanted to hunt more monsters, she needed to improve her abilities first.

While soaking in the bath, Hua Diao picked up the red berries and crunched through three of them.

After finishing, she smacked her lips. Surprisingly, they tasted quite good, similar to apples—crisp and sweet.

The three berries instantly restored her stamina, and she felt pleasantly full.

Curious, she opened her game panel to check her attribute points.

The random stat points from the three red berries had been added to Agility and Spirit.

Agility increased from 9 to 10.

Spirit rose from 10 to 12.

Hua Diao's eyes lit up—what incredible luck!

Compared to other attributes, Spirit was notoriously difficult to raise. To randomly gain two points in it was truly a blessing from the Koi Deity!

After her refreshing bath, Hua Diao couldn't wait to try on the Elf Flower Robe.

The initial form of the Elf Flower Robe in her hand was a green-patterned fabric, styled like a bathrobe.

It was a very common design, suitable for anyone.

Muttering to herself, Hua Diao wrapped the floral bathrobe around her and tied the belt. Instantly, the somewhat oversized Elf Flower Robe began to emit faint green luminescence, enveloping her entire body.

Three seconds later, the glow faded, and the baggy bathrobe on her transformed into a light-green, puff-sleeved floral dress. The hem extended from above her knees to her ankles, turning it into a maxi dress.

The waist tie became a woven green sash, accentuating her slender, graceful waist. The fit was perfect, making the entire dress look fresh and stylish, as if she were a forest sprite.

Hua Diao's eyes gleamed. "Oh my god, everyone, this is incredible! The Elf Flower Robe is unbelievably beautiful!"

The elves' aesthetic sense was simply divine.

A playful glint flashed in her bright eyes. She then took off the long dress and put on another Elf Flower Robe.

This one was a red bathrobe. As soon as she put it on, it transformed into a chic, one-piece utility outfit. The top was a square-necked, long-sleeved shirt, with red stone flowers replacing what would normally be metal buttons. The bottom was a knee-length pleated skirt, cinched with a long red woven belt.

Stylish and fierce!

Hua Diao's eyes sparkled as if she were addicted to changing outfits. She tried on one after another, from simple schoolgirl styles to luxurious court gowns, from long dresses to pants—everything imaginable. Occasionally, she encountered duplicate designs, but that didn't dampen her enthusiasm for dressing up.

The Elf Flower Robe truly fulfilled countless girls' dreams of a magical wardrobe. Not only were they beautiful, but each one was a surprise. Most importantly, she discovered another feature: they were temperature-regulating!

Wearing an Elf Flower Robe, she sneaked back up to the eighteenth floor in the darkness of the power outage and didn't feel hot at all, not even a drop of sweat. It was truly amazing!

Instantly, she no longer wanted to sell them on the free trade market.

However, to earn more gold coins for her future survival, Hua Diao reluctantly chose five of her favorite designs to keep. The remaining 45, along with the ordinary antidotes, poison repellents, and protective suits she had previously bought, were listed in the free trade zone.

Everything was priced at 90% of the official game store's rates.

A clean 40% profit from reselling—that's our girl!

In the free trade zone, Hua Diao didn't use her real name, opting for the alias "Koi Little Fairy."

She had assumed that in the early days of the apocalypse, there wouldn't be many wealthy players, so her numerous listings would take until tomorrow or even the day after to sell out. But to her surprise, just as she yawned, feeling drowsy—bam!—everything was gone in a flash.

Hua Diao was instantly wide awake, her eyes round with shock. Were there really so many rich people now?

The five hundred gold coins she had spent earlier were now back in her account, with an additional four hundred-plus gold coins.

Indeed, being a reseller was far more profitable.

Her eyes darted around as she secretly pondered: what if the first opportunity to upgrade to a premium membership also came with a 50% discount? Reselling then would surely yield even greater profits than this current batch.

With this new goal in mind, Hua Diao slept like a log, waking up bright and early the next morning.

But Xie Tingsheng, on the other hand, couldn't sleep at all.

Compared to Hua Diao's smooth sailing, Xie Tingsheng had left earlier but had far less success.

In a villa a few bus stops away from Jinxiu Huayuan, Xie Tingsheng sat imposingly on the living room sofa, his face dark as he stared at the opened treasure chest before him. Inside were three copper coins and a bag of soil, common junk found everywhere in the Fantasy Continent.

This wasn't his first chest, but it was the thirtieth one yielding the same worthless loot—no items, just dirt and copper coins. Their total value didn't even compare to what Zhu Bin had gotten from a single chest. No wonder his expression was so grim.

Suddenly, Zhu Bin beside him jumped up excitedly. "I got it! I got it, Brother Sheng! I scored something good!"

Grinning from ear to ear, looking like he'd hit the jackpot, he told Xie Tingsheng, "Brother Sheng, I was just browsing the free trade zone, and some big shot named Koi Little Fairy listed four items: ordinary antidotes, poison repellent, protective suits, and Elf Flower Robes. All of them are super useful! I managed to grab two ordinary antidotes, two protective suits, and one poison repellent. The Elf Flower Robe is even better, but it's way too expensive—nine gold coins! I didn't have enough, not even one gold coin if I combined all my coppers and silvers. I really couldn't afford it."
