Chapter 23 – Wolf King Light Armor
After thanking the Village Elder, Rui headed for the Tailor Shop.
“Auntie! I have the items you requested!”
Rui took out the 5 pieces of Grey Wolf Leather and 5 pieces of Slime Coating, passing them to the Tailor Auntie.
“Not bad, not bad! This is your reward!”
Nodding approvingly, the Tailoring Auntie smiled as she kept the leather and coatings with a fling of her hand. At that moment, Rui heard the system voice message.
Ding!
Congratulations on completing the quest – Tailoring Auntie’s Trial.

After receiving the skill, Rui grinned.
“Auntie, what’s the requirement for learning how to tailor?”
“Tailoring? If you’re able to find a piece of high grade leather I can make a clothing out of, then I will teach you the Art of Tailoring.” The Tailoring Auntie said as she touched some of the pieces of leather.
High Grade Leather?
Rui was stunned for a second. He opened his inventory, and there was a Wolf King Leather dropped by the Gray Wolf King, 2 pieces of regular Wolf Leather, and 2 pieces of Slime Coatings.
He took out all of them, and placed on the Tailoring Auntie’s table.
“Will these do?” Rui asked carefully.
“Ah! This is actually a high grade wolf leather. This texture… Did you actually kill the evil Wolf King?” The Tailoring Auntie could not contain her excitement as she picked up the wolf leather with sparkling eyes.
Rui nodded profusely.
“With this piece of leather, then there’s no problem. I can help you make a low level Gold Grade Light Equipment!”
Rui’s smile deepened for a moment when he heard the Tailoring Auntie’s words. However, her next words caused his smile to stiffen.
“But, with the extra materials and handling fees, I would need 2 gold for it!”
‘2 gold?’
Rui’s face twitched. Rui betted his life in his battles, and he only made about 1 gold, and that gold he had was also from the Wolf King. 100 silvers is equal to 1 gold. A single Elite Gray Wolf was only a few silver, and a single Gray Wolf was only about 10 copper. 2 gold? That would require Rui to kill 2,000 Grey Wolves. And that’s assuming every wolf would drop money!
But, Rui could not find the words to bargain. Gold Grade Equipment! It was a Gold Grade Equipment! These 3 words were already worth 2 gold! The Wolf King Leather he had could not be bought with even 20 gold.
‘Tch! If I had known, I would have taken the money dropped by the Armored Slime!’ Rui could not help but sigh deeply in his heart.
“Auntie! Help me turn these Wolf Leather and Slime Coatings into light equipment! …As for the 2 gold, I will give them to you in 2 hours!”
“Alright.” The Tailoring Auntie responded, and speedily turned the Wolf Leather and Slime Coatings into light equipment.
They were only normal equipment, hence the fees were cheap. The Slime Coatings only needed a handling fee of 10 copper. However, the stats of the equipment were almost useless. 6 Defense? They were only slightly better than the Novice equipment. Also, their appearance was absolutely disgusting!
‘What the hell, bringing these around would look so disgraceful!’
He turned to the Tailoring Auntie and sold all the Slime Equipment to her for 5 copper each. Rui’s face was twitching constantly.
Rui had about 10 pieces equipment from killing monsters and PK’ing the Greedy Wolves. Most of them were useful to players.
He actually planned on bartering in the Novice Village, but he thought for a moment, and contacted Sasha.
“I have a some equipment at hand, and I wonder if you’re interested in them?”
“Equipment? What are they? How many?” After receiving Rui’s message, Sasha immediately replied. Her words implied her excitement.
