Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!
Chapter 295: Textile Workshop and Feathered Robe
CHAPTER 295: CHAPTER 295: TEXTILE WORKSHOP AND FEATHERED ROBE
Jiang Yuan and his group came and went in a hurry, unaware of the significant shock and aftermath their visit brought to the Lin family, as he still had a bunch of things to be busy with!
Upon returning to the courtyard, he immediately changed his title from "Role Model" to "Mountain God", instantly dispelling the overpowering aura, making Xiao Bai and the others secretly sigh in relief.
"The teacher is really kind to us!" Yun Mo exhaled a breath of turbid air, thinking to himself how few cultivators can be like the teacher, with myriad ways to exploit and oppress the weak, yet able to show such compassion, even restraining the aura of those in power in daily life.
It should be known that many cultivators consider themselves noble once they embark on the path of cultivation, eager to ride on others when they gain a little skill. Probably because of his unperturbed nature cultivated from his practice, the teacher can achieve such a profound level of cultivation.
Thinking of this, Yun Mo resolved to emulate the teacher, honing his own disposition in hopes of traveling further down the road of cultivation!
As for the automatic mental supplements from the courtyard members, Jiang Yuan was always unaware, since the system didn’t provide skills like mind reading.
Thus he never thought that casually changing a title could lead to such reflections; in Jiang Yuan’s view, a title of authority was used to show off and make an impression on disciples when going out, but it’s pointless compared to the solid benefits of the Mountain God title, which adds to attack and defense.
Ever since trying out title upgrading and finding it quite effective, he’s planning to quickly gather enough materials to upgrade the Floating Market by another level, certainly able to receive more charitable orders and gain more faith values to upgrade the other two titles as well.
While usually wearing Mountain God for increased attack and defense, he could don Demon God or Role Model if needed to show off.
Of course, that’s just the plan for now, currently the urgent task is to get the newly established Textile Workshop busy.
The homeland upgraded to Level Four, and with a large forest across the river unlocked, it’s all his territory now, requiring development and assessment of materials needed for the mission to restore the fish pond.
Occasionally, the Floating Market chimed in with order notifications, plenty of faith values and special material rewards awaiting him to earn.
"Creak~"
The newly built Textile Workshop is a Level One building, with a door that seems a bit plain compared to other upgraded workshops, producing a simple sound when pushed.
Entering the Textile Workshop, Jiang Yuan was greeted with a familiar game style; the interior of the workshop is divided into three parts, the layout appearing somewhat compact.
The first part allows everyday collected materials like wool and goose feathers to be spun into wool yarn, goose down, etc., as well as cotton and mulberry hemp into cotton threads and hemp threads;
The middle part involves combining different yarns to create finished fabrics;
The last part contains a rich list, where various materials paired with dyes and duck feathers can be made into everyday textile products, including various styles of clothes, shoes, and socks.
Required dyes can only be made after building a juice pressing workshop, certainly one of the subsequent main story quests.
Then, Jiang Yuan saw Moon Shadow Gauze, mentioned by Miss Hu Jiu, in the fabric list, along with Celestial Silk Cloth and Phoenix Tail Gauze needed for making Feathered Robes.
"If I had the blueprint, I could directly make Feathered Robes in the Textile Workshop!" He felt as though discovering a new continent, excited and thrilled by the gray Feathered Robes icon in the clothing section.
The night before, when heading to Spider’s Valley with Xiao Ba carrying Feathered Robes, the honest child Xiao Ba responded truthfully, even though most tailors in the market would say as long as there’s fabric, they can make Feathered Robes, the actual craftsmanship of tailors varies greatly.
Since Immortals haven’t descended in a long time, original Feathered Robes mimicking their styles are nowhere to be found, what’s available on the market today are mere replicas, differing in appearance and effectiveness when crafted.
When encountering questioning customers, Xiao Ba would also reply fabric availability equals possibility, due to the intricate craftsmanship leading to the rarity of celestial silk cloth and phoenix tail gauze.
Even the insiders specialized in trimming skills can hardly find them, let alone lay customer.
"Even though finding the corresponding raw materials means production, considering the value of Feathered Robes, I’m clearly losing out!" Jiang Yuan looked down at the bound and worn Pisces Jade Pendant, deciding to haggle when delivering the production, perhaps getting some trade goods from the mermaids to even out.
First placing the accumulated wool on the table to spin into wool yarn, he looked at the list almost covering all textile products, feeling curious, "These daily necessities wouldn’t be meant for those charitable orders, would they?"
It stands to reason that farming games indeed work this way, since mere farming lacks consumption and upgrade space, selling agricultural products yields low prices and lacks playability, so basically need to process farm crops of varying levels into products through workshops.
For instance, some farming games connect restaurants; some farms follow with agricultural trade markets and processing plants.
The problem now is that the system binds directly presenting a gamified version of a real Wilderness World to him, are those charitable orders truly necessary by someone real, or is the system faking orders according to gameflow?
If it’s the former, who exactly needs such a wide array of everyday items?
Can’t really be local impoverished households or refugees, right?
The word "refugees" flashed in his mind, for some reason, Jiang Yuan suddenly recalled the survivors floating in the void on those fragments post-world collapse.
If the system’s charitable orders supply them with goods, him struggling to farm and complete the orders gaining system rewards would be indirectly doing good deeds, accruing virtue!
What exactly does the void look like?
After the trip to Wo Hu Temple, he could agree with Yin Mountain Princess Tang Qin to stroll in the void, witnessing the true guise of the mysterious void.
If able to get hold of blueprints, crafting an Immortal Shuttle for void travel in the Treasure Forging Workshop would be amazing, occasionally taking courtyard members out for team-building adventures in the void...
Mind filled with wild thoughts, Jiang Yuan glanced back at the not-so-abundant wool in storage, considering pushing up the upgrading work on poultry houses and livestock barns.
A higher level can accommodate more animals, accumulating more livestock products, keeping the Textile Workshop busy...
"Clatter clatter!"
The Textile Workshop started working, the sound of spinning and weaving crisp and pleasant, Jiang Yuan hurriedly headed to Cloud Grocery Store to submit an order.
Meanwhile, as Wan Mingchuan landed with beaming smiles tugging on Bai Yunqi’s sleeves, "Brother Long, don’t be mad! I could tell when you and Sister Hu were all weird and picky in the hall, you’re reluctant to let me go, haha!"
Bai Yunqi gave him a proud glance, slightly tilting his head with a hum, "Hmm, hardly bothered about you, it’s merely for the Venerable Family’s sake.
They treat you so well, generously supplying so many cultivation resources, yet you just meet a few fickle-hearted people and your elbow bends out to be some Young Patriarch?"
