Chapter 515: How Can I Adventure on Arad While Wearing Those Ugly Clothes?

Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations

The word ‘dungeon’ in the game was derived from a tabletop role-playing game ‘Dungeons & Dragons’. As the game evolved, in most cases, the word ‘dungeon’ represented a private zone or a parallel space where one could explore, adventure, or complete missions.

No one but you and your teammates could enter this private zone.

There weren’t multiple servers or channels in the system version of the game, but Hendon Myre was as large as any city in the real world. The adventurers walking out from the spawn place didn’t crowd the city. In fact, if not for the many pedestrians and NPCs (non-playable characters) including adventurers and merchants who were thronging in the streets, the players would find this huge city quite empty and cold.

Also, the players had to travel in horse-drawn carriages between places. If they walked, they wouldn’t be able to finish a few simple quests that required running around even if they had eight hours.

Besides the main storyline and quests, the various side story quests weren’t limited to those few NPCs; more NPCs could issue quests. Perhaps the pedestrians walking on the streets or residents living in the houses in the alleys might give them quests.

For the adventurers, despite their different goals and ambitions, their way of surviving was to complete quests and make money.

For Luo Piaoling and other new players who had just arrived at the city, the first place that they had an encounter with was Seria’s hotel. The new adventurers entered the elegant and bright hotel in twos and threes.

Upon entering, they heard the beautiful music played by bards.

The first thing that they saw was a snow-white grand hall with a western-style floor paved in sapphire blue tiles. Also, exquisite magic chandeliers dangling from the ceiling made the place look elegant and comfortable.

On one side was a corridor leading to the second floor. The hotel wasn’t huge but bright; the bright yellow curtains were pulled to the sides, letting in radiant sunshine. People felt warm and cozy bathed in the sun.

Luo Piaoling saw several familiar faces who were cultivators of the Deserted Sea Realm that he had seen in the Martial Dao Exchange.

“Ugh? Isn’t the hotel owner the girl who we encountered in the forest?” He saw two figures walking into the hotel.

“Hello. My name’s Seria.” He seemed to hear the silver-haired elven girl friendly greet the adventurers.

Subconsciously, he recalled the old man in the Slayer Dojo in the Back Alley who kept murmuring nonsense such as ‘a sword may conquer the flesh, but only your heart may conquer the mind.’

If not for the others’ introduction, he would never have thought that this blind old man was his instructor.

He had only seen him a few times, but the old man left a deep impression on his mind.

“A sword may conquer the flesh, but only your heart may conquer the mind?” Luo Piaoling chewed on the words and was amazed. “It’s surprising that such a grandmaster lives on the inconspicuous streets.”

Since Dajin was almost a nation full of warriors, there were many slayers in the game. Some of them paid gold coins and went up to their rooms, and some were still chatting in the hall on the first floor.

At this moment, Luo Piaoling made a sudden discovery.

“These people... how come they are dressed exactly like me?!” He hadn’t noticed it before since there were all kinds of people thronging in the streets.

But now in the hotel, most of the people here were adventurers, and he made this unique discovery in one glance.

Meanwhile, Sia who chose to the class, Female Slayer, had also come to Arad as instructed in the special mission for female slayers. They had taken another route after they fled from the empire compared to other players, and they met other adventurers at this place.

Upon entering the hotel, she froze. How come so many people are dressed exactly like me?!

She wore a short, tight-fitting black dress with decorative black feathers on the shoulder, a pair of flaxen, tight-fitting long pants, and a pair of black boots.

Sia found that all the female slayers were dressed this way!

However, her clothes were quite pretty.

Beside her, Lou Piaoling felt embarrassed while he looked down at his loose pants and short vest which covered only his chest and shoulders, so he wasn’t completely naked.

Lou Piaoling thought that it looked quite ugly.

Putting that aside; more importantly, with everyone dressed this way, he wouldn’t be able to be distinguish from others.

Damn it!

At this time, he saw three young man walking over from the opposite direction. They each held a sword, but they were dressed differently.

One of them wore a long windbreaker with dark grey and silver shoulder armor, the second wore a black, sleeveless turtle-neck, and the last one wore a dark blue vest with a white inner shirt. More important, the last guy’s hair was red hair?!

“Young Master Lin, what do you think? My outfit is quite awe-inspiring, huh?!” The red-haired young man wearing the dark blue vest laughed and said, “If it is still like before, how can I adventure on Arad while wearing those ugly clothes?”

“Good, good. It looks like Iori Yagami’s outfit.”

Luo Piaoling’s face reddened, feeling as if they were talking about him.

“Ugh-?!” Sia had just met up with Luo Piaoling, and she looked in the direction of the conversation. “How come they are dressed differently from you?!”

“I have no idea.” Luo Piaoling spread out his hands. “Should I... go and ask them?”

Immediately, he walked up to them. “Brothers, are you slayers too?”

Song Qingfeng said, “Yeah. What’s up?”

“Can I ask a question? Why are we all dressed...” Luo Piaoling pointed at himself and said, “And you’re dressed differently?”

“Oh, that...” Lin Shao explained casually, “It works like the store in Qzone. You can pull out the Game Interface and find the button leading to ‘Item Shop’.”

“We can buy clothes in there?!” Sia ask in surprise.

Immediately, she entered her hotel room in which there were items such as windows and desk, etc. Then, she pulled out the Game Interface, wondering if she should change into other outfits.

...

“We can indeed buy clothes here...” Sia looked as if she had just discovered a new continent. “There are other things too!”

“Hurry and look! There are many good things!”
