Chapter 23: The Wolf King's Light Armor

  After thanking the village chief, Chu Rui went straight to the tailor's shop.

  "Seamstress, here is the item you wanted!"

  Chu Rui took out five pieces of gray wolf skin and five pieces of slime skin and handed them over to the seamstress.

  "Not bad, not bad, this is your reward!"

  Zanxu nodded in approval, and the seamstress smiled as she put away the leather. With a wave of her hand, Chu Xun suddenly heard the system's prompt tone.

  "Ding! Congratulations on completing the task - Tailor Granny's Trial. You have obtained the auxiliary life skill: Gathering!"

  Gathering Skill: Life Skills, Beginner 0/10000, can gather materials from monsters!

  Skills in hand, Chu Rui smiled with a sly mouth!

  "Tailor's wife, what are the requirements for learning tailoring?"

  "Tailor? If you can find me a high-quality fur to make clothes with, I'll call you the master of tailoring."

  The tailor's wife happily held several pieces of fur and stroked them back and forth.

  High-end fur?

  Chu Rui was slightly stunned, opened his backpack and took a look, inside there were the complete wolf king pelt exploded out by Hu Lang Wang, two ordinary wolf pelts and two Slime pelts.

  Everything was taken out and placed on the counter of the seamstress's shop.

  "Is this okay?" Chu Rui asked cautiously.

  "Ah! It's actually top-grade wolf pelt. This texture, you must have taken down that detestable Wolf King!" The seamstress was overjoyed, her eyes shining with excitement as she picked up the pelt.

  Chu Rui nodded!

  "No problem, with this pelt, I can completely make a low-grade golden cloth armor!"

  The words of the seamstress made Chu Rui's smile thicken instantly, but her next sentence made his smile stiffen on his face.

  "However, this labor fee and auxiliary materials will require two gold coins!"

  Two gold coins?

  Chu Rui's face twitched non-stop. He had risked his life to get only one gold coin, which was dropped by the Wolf King when he killed it. One hundred silver coins were equivalent to one gold coin, and killing an elite gray wolf would only yield a few silver coins, while killing a regular gray wolf would only yield at most ten copper coins. Two gold coins? That meant he had to kill two thousand gray wolves just to get them, and that was assuming each wolf dropped coins!

  However, Chu Rui couldn't find the words to haggle. Golden equipment, golden equipment! These four words alone are worth two gold coins! If it weren't for the Wolf King's pelt, let alone two gold coins, even twenty would probably be unable to buy it.

  "Ah, I should have picked up the coins from the Slime explosion earlier!"

  Chu Rui let out a helpless sigh in his heart!

  "Old lady, help me process this wolf skin and slime skin into cloth armor! ... Those two gold coins, I'll give them to you within two hours!"

  "Alright!" The seamstress replied with a loud voice and quickly made the gray wolf skin and slime skin into cloth armor.

  It's just a normal one, so the fee is very cheap, and the Slime skin only costs 10 copper coins for processing. But this attribute is also disgusting. Defense 6 points? It's just a little better than novice clothes, and the appearance is disgusting!

  Don't go and lose face with this!

  He turned around and sold the slime skin to the tailor's wife, and the price of 5 copper plates per piece made Chu Rui's face twitch constantly.

  Monster burst, Greedy Wolf and his party's contribution, Chu Rui's body had more than ten pieces of excess equipment, most of which were extremely useful weapons for players.

  Originally wanted to go to Novice Village to shout, but thought about it and still contacted SaSa.

  "I have some equipment in hand, I don't know if you're interested?"

  "What equipment? What is it? How much?" Upon receiving Chu Rui's message, Sa Sa quickly replied, with great interest in her words.

  Chu Rui reported all the attributes of the twelve pieces of equipment on his feet.

  "So much, my coins are not enough. If you can agree to buy with real money, name your price!" Sa replied after a moment of silence.

  "No need, I just want 1 gold coin! I believe you should be able to take it out!"

  Chu Rui had initially set aside $10,000 for himself, equivalent to 70,000 RMB. He spent almost 30,000 on a helmet and other things, leaving him with just enough for his upcoming living expenses and tuition fees. However, what he needed more than anything now was that one gold coin, which would allow him to obtain the golden armor from the seamstress and learn sewing skills. The reason he hadn't gone out to sell it yet was partly because he feared trouble and didn't want to draw attention to himself, as it wasn't in line with his personality. Secondly, he didn't want to waste time; every day only had eight hours, and if he wasted that time on these things and got left behind in terms of level, it would be infuriating. Perhaps selling the items one by one could fetch far more than a single gold coin, but Chu Rui hoped to make the most of his time instead.

  "Good!" A brief and powerful response!

  "I'll wait for you at the tailor's shop in Newbie Village!"

  Chu Rui sent a message and then closed the message bar, standing at the entrance of the tailor's shop waiting for someone.

  Before long, Sa Sa's elegant and refreshing figure appeared in Chu Rui's line of sight.

  "The value of these equipment far exceeds 1 gold coin. Maple Brother said that we can't take advantage of others' difficulties, if you need money, consider this a loan to you."

  The transaction was completed with a swoosh, and 1 gold coin was placed on top.

  Chu Rui slightly furrowed his brow, if it were someone else, he would have immediately slipped away, but looking at Sa's expression, he knew she didn't mean anything else, after all, she was a beauty, and he couldn't afford to lose his temper on the spot.

  "I don't like owing people favors!" Chu Rui closed the trading window and said coldly.

  "You, he didn't say he'd give it to you, just lend it to you." Looking at the icy face of the man in front of her, Sa Sa stomped her little foot and said with some indignation.

  Staring at Sa in surprise, Chu Rui couldn't have imagined that this very heroic woman would also have such a little girl's demeanor.

  "What are you looking at? Hmph, consider this a reward for saving me and Tiantian! However, it's still something that needs to be repaid!" Xue'er said with a hum, her face flushing red as she was stared at by Chu Rui's strange gaze.

  "Alright then!" Chu Rui didn't persist anymore, he indeed needed the money, but he still didn't want to owe anyone a favor. He suddenly said to Sa Sa: "I received a hidden task, inside is a hidden map similar to an instance dungeon. If you're interested, you can gather three people to come with us. It's also a way to repay your favor. However, let's make one thing clear first, once we enter, everything will be under my command, and I have priority in choosing all the equipment... You, think about it!"

  Chu Rui took the gold coin from Sa and went straight into the tailor's shop, handing over two gold coins to the tailor's wife!

  Having obtained gold coins, the tailor's wife happily picked up her needle and thread and got to work. Before long, a fine leather armor had taken shape!

  He took over the armor from the seamstress, who was wiping sweat, and the four big characters that entered his eyes made him reveal a hint of smile.

  Wolf King Light Armor!!
