Deadly Game: Almighty Boss’s Guide to Making Money

Chapter 1344. Yunjin Tailoring Workshop (1)

"Is this... the Republican era?" Lin Xi sat in the passenger seat, looking at the streets and pedestrians outside.

"It should be that our car is slightly out of place," Lin Bei interjected.

Lin Xi looked at the live stream.

—123, you're here again.

—They're already willing to enter dungeons on their own, and they're still so proactive.

—123 To make money, she desperately needs money.

—Our 123 really is a money-grubber who can't lose his image.

—123 So you've also gotten in touch with Xiaoqin, the two of you came together.

—This car looks pretty good.

—I brought so much stuff, the back seat is full.

—What is this instance for?

— I don't know yet.

—But there weren't many people, only nine.

—Hey, the vegetables are here too.

There were 9 people in total, 3 of whom were acquaintances. Not bad.

"The vegetables have arrived too," Lin Bei said, staring ahead, and smiled at Lin Xi. "Great, another familiar face."

"He's here too?" Lin Xi's eyes lit up immediately.

She made a decision: she would also bring over the vegetable props.

You can gift and exchange items in the instance, and they can be used immediately. Once you take them out, they become yours.

But exchanging or giving them away outside is not allowed.

If Tong Nian and Ouyang were here, that would be great.

Okay, it's fine if it's just her sister and Bai Yueming, she's not greedy.

Lin Xi and Lin Bei got out of the car.

Bai Yueming saw them and immediately walked over.

The other six players were also there. They looked at each other and walked over.

"What a coincidence, you're here too."

Bai Yueming remained nonchalant, casually pulling off a small toy bag attached to his backpack and handing it to Lin Xi.

"It was a free gift when I bought the bag. What grown man likes something like this? I thought you might like it, so I didn't throw it away and gave it to you." Bai Yueming seemed completely unconcerned.

Lin Xi took the plush toy bag and put it into her backpack.

"Thank you."

—Hey, hey, what's going on?
—I also felt something was wrong.

—Don't the vegetables like Teacher Huang?
—Teacher Huang has a boyfriend now, thank you.

—I think vegetables and 123 are more delicious.

—I didn't feel that way. Both of them were quite open and honest; I didn't feel that way at all.

—Isn't it because 123 is so open and honest? Even the way the vegetables look at 123 is wrong.

The other six people arrived, and everyone introduced themselves.

There were three men, all in their forties, who were told to be called "Old Qiu".

The man, around thirty years old, is named Lu Ze; he's fairly good-looking.

There was also a handsome young man in his early twenties named Ye Hanzhou.

The three girls are named Han Xinyi, Zuo Ting, and Xu Youyou.

Han Xinyi is in her thirties and has an intellectual beauty.

Zuo Ting is very beautiful and has a great figure.

Xu Youyou has a round face and looks to be in her early twenties.

"The clothes from this era are so beautiful!" Xu Youyou exclaimed, looking at the people passing by on the street.

“The cheongsam is really beautiful,” Zuo Ting chimed in. “I wonder how to clear this dungeon,” Han Xinyi said, looking at the shops on the street.

There are quite a few shops, including silver shops, jewelry stores, fabric shops, silk shops, tea shops, restaurants, and so on.

It looked like a bustling street, but there weren't many pedestrians.

Just then, a cold, electronic voice sounded.

"Welcome to Amazing Park! Please enter the 'Exquisite Tailor Shop'!"

"That's it?" Ye Hanzhou asked. "What about the characters?"

"You should go to the tailor shop and find it yourself," Old Qiu said, leading the way towards the shop with the "Jinxiu Tailor Shop" sign.

Lin Xi and the others followed.

"Squeak-"

When Lao Qiu pushed open the heavy, vermilion-lacquered wooden door, a damp smell, unique to old houses from the Republican era, wafted out, mixed with the scent of cotton and linen fabrics and a faint camphor aroma.

Eight exquisitely tailored cheongsams hung on the dark brown wooden wainscoting, with fabric labels of different patterns faintly visible inside the collars.

Behind the rosewood counter, a girl with her hair in two buns was curled up on a pearwood chair in the corner, her hands tightly hugging her knees.

The girl stood up when she saw them come in.

"Hello, my name is Ah Zhen. Our boss isn't here, so I'm the only one running the shop right now. May I ask if you..."

"Where did the boss go?" Lin Xi asked immediately.

"It's missing. A few days ago, a very important customer's cheongsam went missing from our store. I wonder if the boss has gone to look for it."

"Can we look around?" Lu Ze asked.

“Sure!” Ah Zhen said, returning to her pearwood chair. “The boss mentioned before he left that a detective might come by. You guys are the detectives, aren’t you!”

Holy crap! This scene is so incredibly realistic!

—The cheongsam looks incredibly high-quality, it has such a vintage feel!

—The atmosphere of this old house is amazing; when the lights shine on it, it has a strangely eerie feel.

—Is a tailor shop this big? It's not what I expected!

—You're meddling in these things? It's too small a scope for everyone to contribute!

The wooden door suddenly closed automatically, making a soft "click" sound, as if it had been locked.

Xu Youyou walked to the rosewood counter, and just as her fingertips touched the brass handle of the drawer, Lin Bei gently pulled her back.

"Wait, look, there are scratches on the wood next to the handle, as if it has been pulled repeatedly, but there are also fine cracks on the edges."

The crowd gathered around and, sure enough, saw that some fabric fibers were embedded in the wood grain along the edge of the drawer.

On the counter, there was a brass iron with what appeared to be some words engraved on the bottom, covered by a thin layer of ash.

"Let me take a look!" Ye Hanzhou stepped forward and reached for the iron, but was stopped by Han Xinyi. "Don't be reckless. Look at the Xuan paper next to the iron. There seem to be indentations on it. Maybe we shouldn't move it?"

—Young man, you're in such a hurry!
—Yes, Xiao Qin just stopped the pretty girl, and he got anxious again.

—Fortunately, there were some careful people.

—This iron looks quite heavy.

—It feels like everything here is complicated. Will touching it carelessly cause problems?

But we can't just leave everything untouched!
Han Xinyi did not stop Ye Hanzhou; he had already picked up the iron.

Thankfully, nothing bad happened.

The iron looks like it hasn't been used for a long time; it's covered with a thin layer of dust.

Lin Xi gently brushed away the dust from the bottom of the iron with her fingers, and four small characters in regular script gradually appeared—"Three-buttoned jacket".

"Three-button lapels? Does that refer to the frog buttons on a cheongsam?" Lin Bei asked.

She also wears cheongsams in her daily life, and although she doesn't know much about them, she does know a little.

Lin Bei looked at the eight cheongsams on the wall and reached out to touch the collar of the outermost cheongsam embroidered with plum blossoms, but stopped just before his fingertips touched the fabric.

The buttons on the cheongsam looked exceptionally delicate, with fine stitches. On the wooden base of the display stand, there was a yellowed note with blurred writing, only the words "Do not force, do not remove" were legible.

What does this note mean?

Bai Yueming leaned closer and tried to tear off the paper to examine it closely, but found that the paper was stuck to the base very tightly, and there was a risk of it breaking if she applied too much force.
