C4 Maid Uniform
"What do you want to trade?" Ye Chen responded.
"I've got a Distinguished Level C blueprint for a Splitting Axe. I'm looking to trade it for your Level C green fish."
Upon hearing the offer, Ye Chen's mind raced, and he swiftly accessed the Synthetic System.
[Two kitchen knives + Splitting Axe blueprint = Mountain Splitting Axe]
[Mountain Splitting Axe: Capable of easily splitting bamboo, trees, and other materials. It can also serve as a weapon for self-defense.]
[The system's description of the Mountain Splitting Axe was straightforward.]
"Place the Mountain Splitting Axe blueprint in the Exchange, and we'll make the trade," Ye Chen instructed.
He didn't hesitate to agree to the exchange.
His reasoning was straightforward.
First, obtaining C-level items, especially blueprints, was a rarity.
Second, the Mountain Splitting Axe was not only useful for chopping wood but also as a makeshift weapon against wild animals and ill-intentioned people.
The 2.5-kilogram green fish was of little concern to him. With a Perfect Level fishing rod at his disposal, he foresaw many future fishing opportunities.
He successfully traded the green fish for the blueprint of the Mountain Splitting Axe.
Eager to proceed, Ye Chen opened the Synthetic System again.
To create the Mountain Splitting Axe, he needed two kitchen knives, which in turn required two daggers each to synthesize.
Ye Chen checked the trading system for anyone selling these items.
He managed to acquire another dagger for the price of a bottle of water.
Now he had two daggers.
After transforming the pair of daggers into a kitchen knife, finding the third and fourth daggers proved challenging.
"Anyone have a dagger to spare? I'll trade two bottles of fresh water for one," Ye Chen casually offered in the chatroom.
Yang Ming'er jumped when she suddenly noticed the kitchen knife in Ye Chen's hand.
Her hand slipped, spilling the fish soup everywhere.
"I'm so sorry," Ming'er hastily apologized to Ye Chen.
Despite the lack of seasoning and the less-than-stellar taste, having enough to eat was a luxury these days.
But she ended up spilling the fish soup.
"No worries. Did it burn you?" Ye Chen was unconcerned about the spilled soup and checked on Yang Ming'er's condition.
She seemed alright, though her shirt was now stained with the fish soup.
The shirt was quite thin to begin with, and with it being wet, Yang Ming'er's perfect figure was inadvertently revealed.
The moment turned rather awkward.
"Does anyone have a girl's shirt? I'm looking to buy a few."
Ye Chen was back on the chatroom interface. After mentioning his interest in buying a dagger, he shifted to discussing the purchase of clothes.
"You're buying girls' clothes? Are there actually wealthy people on the island?"
"I barely have enough food to eat, yet he's out there buying clothes for a girl. Life is so unfair."
"How many girls do you have?"
The chatroom banter picked up once more.
Yang Ming'er, feeling shy, covered her chest with her hands, worried about revealing too much.
Before long, Ye Chen received a private message.
"I have a small-sized cosplay outfit. Interested? Exchange it for three bottles of fresh water."
The sender seemed to have a clear goal in mind.
The sign-in system was indeed odd, providing them with all sorts of items.
The offered outfit was somewhat questionable.
"I haven't found any decent clothes yet. Someone's offering a cosplay outfit," Ye Chen consulted Yang Ming'er.
Clearly uncomfortable, Yang Ming'er was not only reeking of fish but was also drenched.
"That'll be fine, thank you."
Given the circumstances, she didn't have the luxury of choice; she needed to change clothes immediately.
"Let's make the trade."
With Yang Ming'er's consent, Ye Chen agreed to the exchange.
"Congratulations, you've acquired a cosplay outfit—a maid uniform."
Ye Chen was taken aback.
He hadn't anticipated the cosplay outfit to be a maid uniform.
"Here you go."
He bowed his head, presenting the maid uniform to her.
Yang Ming'er accepted the outfit, realizing the potential awkwardness of the situation.
Now, she was uncertain whether to don the maid uniform.
Ye Chen had traded three bottles of fresh water for that maid uniform. If she refused to wear it, it would be quite unreasonable of her.
But truth be told, the maid uniform was rather risqué.
To sidestep any embarrassment, Ye Chen headed towards the beach, stopping only when he was a good 50 meters away from Yang Ming'er.
After a brief moment of hesitation, Yang Ming'er began changing.
Five minutes later, a transformed Yang Ming'er, now clad in the maid uniform, stood before Ye Chen.
Indeed, a beautiful woman looks good in anything.
At that moment, Yang Ming'er exuded sexiness with a hint of playfulness and an air of mystery.
"I'll keep an eye on the trade listings and pick up some more clothes for you," Ye Chen offered.
"It's fine. I actually think this outfit suits me," she replied.
He knew she was just trying to spare him any feelings of remorse.
Luckily for Ye Chen, another business opportunity was on the horizon.
Someone had sent him a private message.
"I've got two daggers and I'm looking to trade them for five bottles of fresh water."
"Deal," Ye Chen responded without a second thought.
Being wealthy and having a whole lake of fresh water at his disposal, he didn't need to hesitate.
He acquired the two daggers and, once more, Ye Chen merged them into a kitchen knife.
This time, cautious not to startle Yang Ming'er again, he turned away from her to focus on how to synthesize the Mountain Splitting Axe.
"Host, congratulations! You have enough resources to synthesize the Distinguished Level C Mountain Splitting Axe (Basic Model). Would you like to proceed with the synthesis now?" the system chimed in, timely as ever.
"Yes," Ye Chen answered eagerly.
"Congratulations, host! You've obtained the Mountain Splitting Axe (Basic Model)! Combining two of these axes can further enhance your chopping efficiency."
It appeared that the Mountain Splitting Axe was upgradable.
"[System Notification: Player Sun Moon Stars has successfully synthesized a Level C Mountain Splitting Axe!]"
