Chapter 180: The Change of Tailor Liu
Once again, after transporting the items back to the warehouse through the Five Ghosts Transport, Lian Yun regrouped with Joseph. Due to the nature of the mission, Lian Yun asked Joseph to give him some space for a while.
In less than half an hour, he completed the task of collecting a hundred bear pelts.
Then he returned to the novice village, took out wolf pelts, tiger pelts, and snake skins from his warehouse, and carried a towering pile of furs over two meters high to the tailor shop.
As expected, Tailor Liu's reaction was quite dramatic, but what he said left Lian Yun feeling somewhat speechless.
"My goodness, there are so many! Each wolf pelt counts as two, each tiger pelt counts as three, each snake skin counts as five, and each bear pelt counts as three. This... this... young man, what should I reward you with?"
Although feeling a bit at a loss for words, Lian Yun smiled slightly and replied, "No need for rewards; consider the excess as my contribution to the village."
"You have a good heart, young man! You truly do!"
"You have gained ten Honor Points."
Uh...
Lian Yun, who was already feeling somewhat speechless, now felt even more so. It wasn't that he thought ten Honor Points were too little; rather, this sudden gain of Honor Points caught him off guard.
Perhaps this was a special reward for completing the task ahead of time!
However, Lian Yun also felt that this might be related to one's attitude towards Yin Yang City.
For instance, if one wholeheartedly supported the interests of Yin Yang City, opportunities to earn Honor Points would increase. Conversely, if one aimed to cause destruction, even if Yin Yang City did not impose penalties, the chances of earning Honor Points would still diminish.
Moreover, there seems to be a certain distinction regarding who is awarded Honor Points.
For instance, the Old Village Chief and Zhang Caifu turn a blind eye to the surplus items, while only someone like Tailor Liu, who considers the well-being of the entire village, has a greater chance of receiving recognition.
Perhaps Tailor Liu has other Hidden Missions in mind.
With this thought in mind, Lian Yun decided to let Ma Wenlong give it a try.
Tailor Liu was busy moving the furs into the inner room and did not immediately reward Lian Yun. However, Lian Yun was not in a hurry; he originally wanted to help but realized he could not interact with the items he had already submitted, so he had to give up.
After quite some time, Tailor Liu finally finished tidying up and came over to Lian Yun, sweating profusely, holding a Gray Bag. "Young man, I apologize for keeping you waiting."
"It's alright!"
"You possess extraordinary talent and a kind heart. I hope this bag can assist you in your growth."
"Senior, you flatter me. Thank you very much."
As Lian Yun took the cloth bag into his hands, he felt a sudden shock.
"A Spatial Bag that can hold one Cubic Volume of items without showing any weight."
This was the information Lian Yun received.
To be honest, although his previous backpack could also hold items with ten times the volume, it seemed merely a visual effect to Lian Yun since the weight of the items remained.
However, this so-called Spatial Bag was different; it could hold one Cubic Volume, which essentially meant there were no strict limitations on length. For example, a piece of wood measuring one meter would count as 0.1 cubic meters; thus, two meters would be 0.2 cubic meters, and three meters would only count as 0.3 cubic meters.
In this way, the Cubic Volume Spatial Bag could hold more items than a two-cubic warehouse.
Moreover, putting anything inside it had no weight, making it incredibly convenient.
For Lian Yun, this bag held a different significance.
Lian Yun carefully tucked the cloth bag into her embrace and then bowed deeply to Tailor Liu, sincerely expressing her gratitude.
"Senior Liu's kindness, I will remember it in my heart!"
To be honest, this was merely a reward for completing a task, but Lian Yun felt an instinctive sense of gratitude.
However, as Lian Yun bowed, the shop door of Tailor Liu suddenly closed. In front of Lian Yun, the previously admiring Tailor Liu now revealed an expression of extreme desolation, as if his soul had been shattered by pain.
Lian Yun looked up in surprise, only to meet a gaze filled with utter despair and profound loneliness.
Was this~~~
A sign of liberation?
But in an instant, Tailor Liu suddenly spoke coldly, "Do you truly wish to repay me?"
Though it felt somewhat strange, Lian Yun replied earnestly, "To the best of my ability, I will do everything I can."
"Impossible~~" Tailor Liu roared, his eyes filled with contempt as he looked at Lian Yun.
Yet Lian Yun faced him calmly and then suddenly smiled gently, saying, "When I arrived, I received a letter from Excellent Choice. It advised me with one thing: do not hope for your return; only hope that the one who returns is human."
"The kindness of my senior truly means a lot to me. Regardless of whether you believe it or not, if you have any requests, please feel free to ask. Until I fulfill them, I do not expect any trust from you."
"Ah~~ so you're quite the sentimental one~~"
Lian Yun smiled lightly and said, "Although I do not fully understand what kind of affection that is, my thoughts have been solely for you since childhood. How could I let you down? If I cannot stay true to my heart, how can I face her again?"
Tailor Liu's expression changed. Initially, he might have thought Lian Yun's desire to leave Yin Yang City was a foolish dream, which made him even more sarcastic. However, seeing Lian Yun's pure expression without a hint of insincerity gradually softened his demeanor.
"What is your name?"
"I am Lian Yun, honored to meet you, Senior Liu."
"Lian Yun~~ why does that name sound so familiar? Hmm~~ could it be the Cloud Emperor Lian Yun who possesses the Yin-Yang Stage?"
"Uh~~ I do indeed hold the title of Cloud Emperor, but I am surprised that you know my humble name."
"Haha! No wonder! Your esteemed companion must be Le Yan, known as the Fallen Goose Talented Woman!"
"Yes!" Lian Yun smiled gently.
"In recent years, I've often heard newcomers speak of your deeds—some praise you while others mock you. However, the evaluations of your character are unanimously praiseworthy. Since it’s you, it doesn’t matter whether there’s trust or not; I believe only you would be willing to help me complete this task!"
"Please, Senior."
"I need one hundred million Gray Spirit Coins. If you can provide me with that amount, I will regain my freedom." Tailor Liu's voice revealed an overwhelming desire.
"As you wish, Senior. However, one hundred million is quite a substantial sum for me at this moment; it may take some time to gather."
"Although I do not wish to stay even a moment longer, I understand your difficulties. Do your best! No matter who it is, as long as you give me one hundred million Gray Spirit Coins, it will suffice."
"I will do my utmost."
"Good! I have little time, so let me inform you of a few things about the novice village. Each day, purchase one hundred buns from Zhang Caifu, and when you hand them back to him, you will earn some Honor Points, up to a maximum of ten times."
"Give me one million Black Spirit Coins, and you will receive a Tenfold Weight Reduction Backpack."
"There is an iron mine in the Man-Eating Flower Mountain Valley. If you dig up one hundred Fine Iron Ores, you can go to the Blacksmith Shop to receive Forging Skill. This is a unique task; although it is difficult, it is best to forge your own Soul Gear. Moreover, mastering Forging Technique at a high level holds extraordinary significance for the Ghost Slaves."
"Lastly, there is no need to collect too much spirit liquid; the prices in Famous City are not high..."
Before the words were finished, Tailor Liu looked at Lian Yun with admiration as the shop door opened automatically.
Lian Yun sincerely nodded at Tailor Liu before turning to leave.
