Chapter 253.2: This Is A Good Sign!

Official website forum.

It was as lively as ever.

[Announcement:

Shelter 404's office in Boulder Town has been established! The person in charge is our friend named Shu Yu. Everyone, hurry up and go harass him. In addition, the chamber of commerce in the outpost is also in its preparation stages and it has started to recruit players, so stay tuned!

]

Eye Owe Money: This announcement was written by Little Seven, right?

Old White: It should be, it’s not like Light's style.

Lone Wolf: By the way, what is Brother Light's style? (Curious)

Gale: Yeah, what exactly is it? Gale also wants to know. What does everyone else think? (Squint eyes)

Lone Wolf: ???

Quit Smoking: Damn, this impersonation of Little Seven is really good!

Night Ten: Light: Just read my ID. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Sideline Slacking: Where's Ample Time? Hello? Why didn't we see him?

Spring Water Commander: Exactly! You lucky bastard, come out now!

When Ample Time is called, Ample Time shall arrive.

As soon as the players started to ping him, his ID popped up in the forum.

Ample Time: I'm back! I just finished editing the post! Today's gain is quite amazing. The transaction volume is one more digit than yesterday! Not only the clothes consigned in the clothing store, the works of Teng Teng's Hut were also snapped up by the local residents! We now have a lot of chips. I have sorted out a price list of local products, and if there's anything you need t, you can pm me. The price is open and transparent! (Grin)

Tail: Oh damn! Those revealing clothings are sold out! (O△O)?

Sisi: Is this the world of adulthood? (o°ω°o)

Quit Smoking: Teng Teng is awesome!!

Irene: Sure enough, sex is the driving force for the continuous progress of society. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Gale: It's not necessarily accurate to say that. After all, clothes in the hundreds of chips are not affordable to ordinary people. Through my rational analysis, it should have been bought by the nobles from the inner city.

This_lord_is_arrogant_what_can_you_do: Lmao, what do you mean by clothes with three-digit prices are not affordable to ordinary people? My family runs a clothing store. The cheapest clothes we sell are at least 999 dollars, and the expensive ones and reach nine-digits and above. I can only state that you guys are still too naive, and have never seen a true tycoon. This world is much more complicated than you imagined.

Old White: ... Are we talking about the same topic?

Teng Teng: !! Will the gown I designed be worn by those noble ladies at their dance parties?! (☆▽☆)

Night Ten: Definitely! Maybe soon, Teng Teng's Hut will be trending in Boulder Town

Irene: Becoming a household name is no longer a dream. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Yaya: Sigh... As expected of the wasteland, they have too open of a mindset, I really can't accept that kind of clothes. (′‐ω‐)

Night Ten: Is it because the clothes can’t cover certain parts? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Yaya: (*- ω -)✂︎╰ひ╯

Irene: (Scared.jpg)

Teng Teng: What the hell?! What are you thinking! Those clothes are not what you think they are, okay? Besides, with your figure, it won't fit you. That kind of high-end feeling... Anyway, it's only suitable for those who are kinda skinny...

Yaya: Wait a minute, I can't pretend that I didn't hear this. Are you calling me fat?!?! (σ`д′)σ

Teng Teng: No, I didn't mean that. QAQ

Tail: I can testify! Master is not fat at all, just a little bigger than usual! (///ω///)

Yaya: ?!?!?!?!

Sisi: Would the designer please tell us who is more suitable to wear the clothes?

Teng Teng: For example... Boss Xia?

Boss Xia?

Chu Guang, who was browsing the posts, felt that Xia Yan probably wouldn't be able to accept those kind of clothes. Her salary was not low, so if she liked it, she would have bought it long ago.

Mercenaries were keen on leather goods, whether it was a leather jacket or a small leather coat.

Compared with clothes made of fibers, animal leather could better resist biting and cutting damage, and it would not be too uncomfortable in rainy weather.

Moreover... I can't imagine that woman in that dignified evening dress...

Chu Guang tried to think about it for a long time, but he could only imagine a certain woman tripping clumsily by the hem of the dress, which made him laugh uncontrollably.

Xia Yan, who was reading a book not far away, looked over suspiciously. "What are you laughing at?"

Chu Guang coughed lightly. "It's nothing, I just thought of something funny."

"Something funny?" Hearing something funny, Xia Yan became interested. She put down the book from her hands, and waited expectantly for him to continue talking.

Listening to stories was much more interesting than looking at those little tadpoles-like words!

But Chu Guang did not intend to go into details. "I'll tell you when you finish reading the study material."

Xia Yan rolled her eyes and picked up the book again. "

Tch

, stingy asshole!"

Instead of bothering Xia Yan who was learning Chinese, Chu Guang returned to the computer screen.

The topic discussed by the players seemed to have shifted from how much a piece of clothing should be sold to commit cultural conquest of another world.

Some people proposed to make traditional chinese clothing and office lady uniform, but soon, some people mentioned that too much materials were required and therefore not cost-effective.

Soon someone asserted that regardless of products they needed to sell, they could first introduce the balance payment system and suck the blood of the wastelanders.

Although they had big brains and good ideas, it still seemed to Chu Guang that they were thinking too much.

Although the NPCs in Wasteland Online were called NPCs in the setting, that was only a setting relative to the players.

Those people weren’t stupid.

Chu Guang even dared to attest that once someone found a substitute for Devil's Silk, there would be a lot of counterfeit products being produced.

There were no trademark laws or patents in the wasteland. Everyone was using items that had been thoroughly researched by pre-war civilizations. Even if a new invention came out one day, who dared to claim that the item was invented by them?

"Someone will definitely find out that polyamide can be an alternative material."

That was a type of thermoplastic resin, which could be made by polycondensation of adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine. Not only it could be used for socks, but also utilized in various mechanical and electrical parts, including bearings, gears, pulley pump impellers, blades, high pressure sealing ring and so on. The chemical plant in the outpost also produced a small amount of this stuff, and the biomass oil provided by Camu Tree was a good raw material.

There was no question about it.

Even Mosquito could make it, so Boulder Town could definitely produce it. At most, it was just because no one had explored this market possibility yet.

"I didn't expect that the clothes made by Teng Teng's Hut would successfully enter the upper class market of Boulder Town."

"It was a pleasant surprise."

"If this style of clothing can be popular in the upper class and form a trend, then creating a lower-cost substitute product and promoting it in the lower class market might just work!"

Devil's Silk products took the high-end route, and nylon silk textiles could open up the market!

A smile appeared on Chu Guang's face. "I'm simply a genius!"

Making clothes and socks is too lame?

Who cares!

It was reasonable for the light industries to earn foreign exchange to subsidize heavy industries.

As long as it could develop, there was no need to care too much about the means.

The only thing that needed to be verified now was the acceptance of the locals.

Chu Guang's eyes subconsciously fell on Xia Yan’s knee.

Xia Yan, who didn't pay much attention to reading to begin with, felt his sinister gaze and tensed up reflexively. She asked in a low voice, "Wh-what..."

"Nothing."

Never mind.

It was meaningless to refer to the perceptions of beauty of just Chu Guang himself or the players.

Even if Chu Guang felt it was good, it did not mean that the consumers in the wasteland would think the same.

It was better to test it out in the free market.

Chu Guang had enough confidence in his players.

Teng Teng's clothes had conquered Boulder Town's high society which was a good sign!

Xia Yan frowned and stared at him cautiously. "?"

Averting his gaze from Xia Yan, Chu Guang turned on the VM and was about to release a mission to the players in the chemical plant, but his fingers paused.

Emmm... Speaking of which.

What should be the appropriate name for this mission?

...

It was 10:00 at night and Clearspring City was like a silent tomb, but Boulder Town next to the third-ring seemed to be a different world. Many blocks were even livelier than during the day, like some hyped lads dancing on graves.

Stress needed to be relieved no matter the era.

Human desires could not be satisfied from just food.

From a big glass of watered down beer to three-figure priced special cocktails, people would always look for ways to add some fun to their lives.

With the explosive music and dazzling lights, the bar, Queen of the Night, near the inner city, was as full as ever.

On the purple couch sat a man hugging the dancers on both sides.

The leather shoes on his feet were made of the Deathclaw skin. They were made by the famous designer of Ideal City, and coated with gold paint from the top to the sole.

Would the paint wear off on the soles of the shoe?

Was that something he needed to be worried about?

He could just get a new pair if it faded! Besides, he did not need to climb mountains and wade through water just to make a living like the wastelanders.

His name was Yang Kun, the owner of the Sequoia Forest Logging Farm. He owned a lot of properties in the south, and also operated two real estates in the outer city. He even had a caravan and a mercenary group under his command.

In this bar, he could be regarded as a well-known celebrity.

"Rob, my little Rob, you really have more and more fun varieties here."

The two beauties in his arms were wearing the same ‘artwork’ that Seal got from blue-coated people earlier.

After putting on the pure white evening dress and knee socks, the two beauties gave off a feeling that was coquettish yet pure, superficial yet noble, and erotic yet elegant.

The titillating feeling was simply amazing!

With a smile on his face, Rob answered sycophantically, "It's my pleasure to make you happy."

Yang Kun nodded and said slowly, "The clothes are perfect, but there is one annoying defect."

Rob immediately asked, "Please tell me, we will definitely improve in the future!"

Yang Kun sighed, "They are too sturdy."

Rob was taken aback for a moment, but when he met the familiar eyes of the old customer, he instantly understood what he meant.

The two laughed in unison.

"Hahaha, you are so humorous!"

"Thank you, you're not bad either."

Yang Kun, with his arms wrapped around the two dancers, stood up, and shook the black card between his fingers. "Get a room for me, I'm a little tired and want to take a nap."

"Right away!" As he watched the honored customer heading upstairs, Rob's heart was full of excitement and passion.

He had a strong premonition that it wouldn’t be long before he really became the Queen of the Night.

Oh wait. Actually, he was supposed to be the Emperor of the Night!
