Tailor’s Shop.
After realizing it was raining, Diana had already hung up the rainproof gear she made yesterday.
Unexpectedly, just as she finished, the first customer arrived—Zhou Bai.
When Zhou Bai saw Diana, he smiled and said, “I’m here to buy rainproof gear.”
No sooner had he spoken than several residents hurriedly followed behind him.
At that moment, Diana understood.
This lord really is quite… capable.
She immediately handed over the four-piece rainproof set to Zhou Bai. “There are four pieces of rainproof gear today. Using them together works best.”
“Alright, I’ll take them all.”
“That’ll be 30 silver coins in total.”
Seeing Zhou Bai buy so straightforwardly, the residents’ eyes all focused on the four new items in the tailor’s shop.

After reading the item details and prices, the residents’ eyes lit up. The price was surprisingly cheap.
“I want to buy!”
“Me too, I want the whole set.”
“Boss, can I buy two sets?”
“Is there a purchase limit?”
“…”
Diana looked at the enthusiastic residents and paused, then said, “No purchase limit, but quantities are limited. Sold while stocks last.”
Soon, one by one, the residents took out money and bought the four-piece rainproof sets.
Many put on the gear immediately after buying, then looked at the heavy rain outside and boldly stepped right into it without hesitation.
What they saw was the rainwater that should have fallen on them was blocked by the bamboo hat and cloak, forming a vacuum zone around them.
“This gear is really awesome!”
In the next moment, the group jumped and played in the heavy rain like fools.
But to others, it looked like they were completely dry in the storm, which was great advertising. Some people even felt envious.
If they had this gear, they could definitely go out to gather and hunt in the territory.
Someone immediately asked, “How much is this set? It must be expensive, right? Can you make back the money by gathering materials outside after buying it?”
“Hehe, the four-piece rainproof set is only 30 silver coins total, very cheap! As long as the materials are easy to gather, you should make your money back quickly,” a buyer kindly reminded. “If you want to buy, hurry up. It seems there aren’t many left; the soldier squad took 20 sets!”
Once this was said, more and more people were drawn to the gear.
Some teams who originally thought the gear was too expensive and not worth it started to reconsider.
Zhong Yongnian’s team was one of them.
After discovering in the morning that rain would reduce health, the whole team had given up on going out. Even though they received notice from the territory that equipment was for sale, experienced people knew the prices weren’t cheap.
Although their team wasn’t purely for making money, they still had to consider investment and cost, especially as the team grew larger.
But now, at only 30 silver coins, the price was just like a normal piece of equipment.
After some quick calculations, everyone thought it was worth it.
Immediately, Zhong Yongnian led the team to the tailor’s shop.
By then, the tailor’s shop was crowded with many people who had heard the news, packed tightly, each wanting a set.
Zhong Yongnian quickly pushed to the front and said, “I want 15 sets!”
Diana looked at her stock and smiled, “Just 15 left. I’ll sell them all to you. Hope you can go out soon to gather special materials. Once I have materials, I can make more.”
“No problem.” Zhong Yongnian agreed without hesitation. Gathering materials was meant to be sold to the territory anyway.
Then, after receiving the gear, he distributed it and led the team out of the territory in a grand manner.
The gear only lasts two hours, so they had to hurry!
After Zhong Yongnian, several other teams who bought gear also went out, including a temporary team formed by individuals.
As for those who didn’t get gear, they weren’t worried. Since they could still buy it later and some teams were already out exploring with the gear, they had more time to prepare.
Of course, they didn’t just wait idly. Some chatted with their usual teammates to strengthen bonds; some rested indoors to recover energy; others stayed home crafting items others needed, earning copper coins and improving skills.
What could have been a panic caused by unpredictable weather was thus quietly resolved by the well-prepared rainproof gear.
Seeing this, Zhou Bai, who guided all this, breathed a slight sigh of relief.
At that moment, Diana, who had been watching everything, casually asked Zhou Bai, “Are you going out today?”
“Yeah, I’ll gather some materials too. The heavy rain won’t last just one day, and more people will come to the territory later. It’s better to stock up,” Zhou Bai said frankly.
Always buying materials from the system instead of gathering more themselves would cost more money as the population grew. Also, they’d be limited by the system’s shop. If one day the system shop ran out, and the territory lacked enough supplies, chaos would ensue. It was safer to stockpile early on.
Diana listened and showed a look of admiration.
Given the territory’s situation, Zhou Bai’s choice was undoubtedly correct.
It was impressive that someone so young could think so thoroughly.
Maybe, just maybe, she could really carve out a different path as she hoped.
“Leave the equipment making to me! As long as you have materials, I’ll prepare everything perfectly,” Diana promised seriously.
“Why?” Zhou Bai was a bit surprised. She just arrived yesterday and already showed such goodwill today?
“Maybe because I used to be human,” Diana replied. “Every human territory that survives is one more strength for us.”
Zhou Bai was silent for a moment. The decline of humans was too far removed from their current territory’s concerns.
Seeing Zhou Bai deep in thought, Diana smiled, “Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. You’re just a small territory. Just focus on developing well.”
After speaking, Diana took out a piece of equipment and handed it to Zhou Bai. “This is a backpack slot expansion, 10 slots total, stackable. You need it now. Consider it a gift for saving me from the undead world.”
Yesterday, after seeing Zhou Bai’s backpack was full, she quickly made this as a small token.
Zhou Bai looked at Diana, saw the determination in her eyes, and accepted the gear directly. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome,” Diana smiled.
“I’ll give you some more materials so you can keep making gear! I’ll send the materials back as soon as possible,” Zhou Bai said, handing over several high-value materials, estimating Diana’s skill level.
Diana took the materials and raised her eyebrows slightly. She was surprised when Zhou Bai gave materials yesterday, and now again. It seemed Zhou Bai had some mysterious supply channels as a lord.
But Diana didn’t ask. Her task was to make equipment.
“Alright, go ahead and get busy! Don’t delay,” she said, returning to the counter to continue making gear.
Zhou Bai didn’t say more and turned to leave.
At the door, he bumped into Harrison, soaked from the heavy rain. His expression paused—so NPCs were also affected by the world’s weather!
Harrison looked at Zhou Bai, fully equipped, slightly raised his chin in greeting, then went straight into the tailor’s shop.
Zhou Bai was used to his personality and headed toward the Hall of Heroes after leaving the tailor’s shop.
She planned to use up her summoning chances before leaving the territory.
Diana’s role in the territory showed her how useful local NPCs were!
Meanwhile, Harrison entered the tailor’s shop and said directly to Diana, “I want to buy rainproof gear.”
Diana listened and apologized with a smile, “Sorry, you’re late. It’s all sold out. But the lord just gave me new materials, so I’ll make more. If you’re not in a hurry, please wait here.”
Harrison: “…Aren’t they afraid of this heavy rain? You said they’re not native to the Stan Continent? After facing so many incidents, they still act like nothing happened and go out to gather and hunt as usual?”
He expressed his confusion.
Or maybe these humans have especially strong mental resilience?
“Probably because the territory prepared well, letting them buy gear to overcome the heavy rain. If they can handle this weather, they can handle others. What’s there to fear? Of course, most importantly, they have a good lord,” Diana thought of Zhou Bai’s actions and couldn’t help but smile.
She was the first lord Diana had seen personally lead and motivate the territory’s residents. It must have taken a lot of effort.
Really special!
Harrison was silent after hearing this.
Thinking of how this lord summoned Diana immediately and solved the special material problem before abnormal weather appeared, she really had some strength and luck on her side.
