[Detected Relaxation Activity: Shopping] [Vitality Recovery Rate: 0.2.] [Up to 40 hours recovery per month.] [Can use coins to enhance relaxation experience]—— [Fashionista: Can recognize the shade of every high-end lipstick, praise each seasonal new item.] (5 Game Coins) [Identifying Expert: Can easily discern the authenticity of fashion items, gain bargaining advantages.] (5 Game Coins) [Outfit Master: Can mix and match suitable and wonderful outfits based on body shape, appearance, needs, and occasions.] (10 Game Coins) Unlike previous relaxation activities, the recovery cap for shopping was settled on a "month" basis. In other words, you could restore up to 40 hours at once, and then reset next month. This efficiency was quite tempting. Unfortunately, shopping was like playing basketball; only the insiders could experience the joy. At the current efficiency, he might as well go home and sleep. Li Zheng glanced at the 20 Game Coins, inevitably feeling conflicted. He didn't have time to make a decision before Zhang Xiaoke led him into a dimly lit shop. Unlike other counters, this place had a dark aesthetic; the goods were crammed and messy, not looking like a clean place at all. The store owner was even dirtier, with dreadlocks that seemed unwashed for years, greasy ripped jeans, and an unshaven beard. "Here you are, Xiaoke." "Here I am, Uncle Fei." The two seemed very familiar as they high-fived. Uncle Fei then raised an arm to greet Li Zheng. Then his arm froze in midair. What the hell is this style? A low V-neck school uniform? And those big shoes. Plus, that serious look. Zhang Xiaoke quickly explained: "I transferred schools, this is my new classmate Li Zheng, my tutor. He teaches me, and I'm bringing him to buy clothes~" "Oh," Uncle Fei reluctantly waved at Li Zheng, "Yoo?" Li Zheng knew this was how Martial World people greeted each other. So he raised his hand and reluctantly high-fived Uncle Fei. "Ha ha… interesting…" Uncle Fei smirked at Li Zheng, "So this is what they call a top student, huh?" "Alright, let's hurry up and pick out clothes~" Zhang Xiaoke dragged Li Zheng deeper into the shop, muttering, "This shop is great, all the items are selected by the owner himself, mostly trendy brands, all categories are covered, it's at the forefront of fashion." Li Zheng glanced at the mismatched clothes, frowning all the while; it was simply chaotic. Before long, Zhang Xiaoke had put together an outfit and pushed Li Zheng into the fitting room. Li Zheng changed and stood in front of the mirror. "Ah." He was stunned. The person in the mirror didn't seem like him. He was wearing a gray hoodie underneath, with a short black denim jacket over it. His lower half was cuffed jeans paired with brown high-top sneakers. If it weren't for his distinct side-parted hair, he might've thought he was looking at a magazine model. Clothing is truly magical. Unconsciously, the recovery rate was climbing rapidly. When Li Zheng stepped out of the fitting room, Zhang Xiaoke also covered her face in surprise. "Whoa!" "Xiaoke, you're a girl, talking like that…" Uncle Fei laughed and jogged over, stopping midway, "Whoa!!!" Li Zheng blushed, scratching his head: "Is it too much?" "No, it's great." Zhang Xiaoke quickly took out her phone, snapping photos like crazy, "Turns out clothes do make the man. Who would've thought you'd have this day." Uncle Fei also came forward to scrutinize Li Zheng, "Young man, I didn't see it before, but you're quite the clothes hanger." "Clothes hanger?" "It means you can wear any clothes well, a compliment for people with good body shapes," Uncle Fei smirked, "With that hairstyle fixed up a bit more, and walking with Xiaoke, it would be perfect." Li Zheng and Zhang Xiaoke simultaneously turned their heads, "Who's walking with him (her)?" "Alright, alright, you guys carry on picking, pick whatever you want." Uncle Fei waved his hand and went off to attend to other customers. "Oh dear, oh dear~" Zhang Xiaoke pranced up to Li Zheng, grinning, "Got it? Follow me shopping, let me pick the outfits, and you'll turn from a sparrow into a phoenix." "You're really good at this." Li Zheng turned back to adjust his collar, looking at himself in the mirror, starting to feel tempted. Of course, he wasn't tempted by the look, but by the vitality value, which was already at 3. Finding items you like and putting together wonderful combinations, is this the joy of shopping? Speaking of combinations. Li Zheng's eyes widened. Isn't the core of shopping permutations and combinations? He eagerly scanned the shelves filled with goods. This shop alone had at least a hundred items. Assuming 80 tops and 40 pairs of pants. A simple calculation yields 3200 combinations. This doesn't even count the shoes and hats. "I want to try more." Li Zheng's eyes flashed with demonic determination. "Suit yourself, it won't be better than what I picked anyway~" Zhang Xiaoke also started picking for herself, "I just want to buy a sweater, let's start looking separately." "Alright." Li Zheng quickly picked up the nearest top and pants and entered the fitting room. He changed into the first combination. Black pullover with a Chinese dragon pattern + white athletic pants. The person in the mirror looked a bit ridiculous. Like a high school extra dragged to a hip-hop concert. [Vitality Recovery Rate: 0↓] Was an audience necessary? He quickly ran out of the fitting room to show Zhang Xiaoke. "Ugh…" Zhang Xiaoke covered her mouth and cursed, "Why don't you just drop dead!" So, Li Zheng changed again. White T-shirt with black dragon-patterned athletic pants. [Vitality Recovery Rate: -0.3↓] He ran to show Zhang Xiaoke again. "Can you stop with the dragon pattern already." The third time. Red dragon-patterned hoodie with dark green cargo pants. [Vitality Recovery Rate: -0.5↓] Zhang Xiaoke: "Change back to your school uniform!" The fourth time in the fitting room. Li Zheng looked at his red and green reflection, clenching his fists in frustration. Turns out, it wasn't permutations and combinations. It was probability theory. Only rarely do pieces of clothing chemically react to stimulate the sense of beauty. And it varies from person to person. Only a master like Zhang Xiaoke could casually put together decent combinations for various types of people. While he, using a foolish permutation method, was getting nowhere. But this was a chance to get dozens of hours of vitality value. He couldn't help but glance at the status bar again. [Game Coins: 20.] [Relaxation Level: Lv2.] [To Upgrade: Relaxation 9/72 (hours)] If he could get a month's worth of shopping vitality at once, he'd definitely level up within two days. By then, who knows what wonderful tasks might pop up. Just like [Chemistry Craze], the sooner he got it, the better the rewards. He couldn't resist and locked onto the three skill cards related to shopping. [Fashionista: 5 Game Coins] [Identifying Expert: 5 Game Coins] [Outfit Master: 10 Game Coins] Fashionista seemed too flashy, more about showing off. Identifying Expert was just for bargaining. No matter how he looked at it, Outfit Master seemed the most appealing.
