Chapter 365: Chapter 357, Almost Dressed Like a Maid_1 The stall owner was a middle-aged man, his beard more luxuriant than his hair. Sitting cross-legged, he gave off an impression of stability. “How much is this?” Fang Hao picked up the Undead War Drums blueprint and asked. There were quite a few items on the stall, but Fang Hao chose this one. “This blueprint isn’t much use to you, it’s for creating an Undead item.” The middle-aged man remarked, not blurting out a random price. The mention of Undead instantly attracted the attention of a number of people nearby. They crowded around to see what kind of Undead blueprint it was. After looking at it, however, they all returned the blueprint with little interest and left. Fang Hao was the only one who stayed. “Are there any Undead near Lyss City?” Fang Hao asked curiously. “I found it in a graveyard, I’m not at liberty to disclose the exact location.” The stall owner stroked his beard. Mercenary activities needed to be kept confidential. Moreover, many such activities had to be kept hidden, and talking too much would not only incite resistance but also possibly expose you to risks. Fang Hao and Anjia appeared very young. Anjia, in particular, carried loads of food, they looked like a sweet couple strolling around. The stall owner didn’t take them seriously. “How much then? If the price is right, I’ll buy it for my collection.” Fang Hao remarked again. He made it clear that he was buying it just for collection and would not buy it if the price were steep. The stall owner, stroking his thick beard, felt that this item would be hard to sell. As it was almost time to close the stall, he decided to sell it to someone who intended to collect it. “50 gold coins, that’s the lowest price for blueprints.” “Okay,” Fang Hao didn’t hesitate, he paid immediately and pocketed the blueprint. Items from the Undead camp were rare, and blueprints were even more so. In the hands of a human, it might only serve as a collector’s item, but in Fang Hao’s hands, it could be put to good use. Especially under the hundred-fold amplification, a blueprint was more useful than the crafted item. Seeing Fang Hao so willing to part with his money, the stall owner tried to push more items onto him: “Take a look at the others. I’m about to close the stall, I would sell them to you at a lower price.” “Anymore Undead items?” Fang Hao asked again. “Nope, that was the only one.” The stall owner replied. “Oh, never mind then. I’ll check somewhere else.” Fang Hao glanced over the stall owner’s other items, but didn’t find anything useful, he got up and left. Having finished perusing the market and not finding any items he liked, the duo left the market, carrying their purchases. In an unobtrusive corner, they stored all the items they purchased into their storage space and walked out nonchalantly. They hailed a carriage and headed back to their residence. After dinner, they retired to their room. The nightstone chandelier emitted a soft glow. Fang Hao sat down at the desk and took out everything he had found at the market. After cataloging the Undead War Drums Blueprint, he flipped through the pages of Fire Elemental Explanation, Multi-headed Fire Python. According to the description, after reading and understanding the contents, one can learn the skill recorded in the book. Driven by excitement, Fang Hao started reading. Yet, just after a short while, Fang Hao was frowning. What was all this rubbish? He looked at the numerous symbols, jargon, and abstruse terms. Even though he recognized every word, it was hard to understand their meanings. Fang Hao took out the Fire Element Explanation and continued to read with reference to it. Then, he flipped open Magic Power Guide and Mental Power Theory for reference. Soon, all eight books on the small desk were opened, with the rest assisting the study of the Fire Elemental Explanation, Multi-headed Fire Python. It was not until late into the night that he had only read five pages. “Damn it, if I studied this hard back in the day, I’d have been outstanding by now.” Fang Hao muttered under his breath. A sense of fatigue came from his brain, and his eyes were somewhat dry due to strain. He drifted off to sleep in confusion. The next day, early in the morning. Just after breakfast, Fang Hao received a notification. “Sir, there is someone from the City Lord’s mansion who wishes to speak to you.” The City Lord’s mansion? “Let them in!” Fang Hao replied. Shortly after, a figure entered. Fang Hao recognized her, she was a maid of Rebecca, “Good morning, Mr. Fang Hao. I hope I didn’t disturb your sleep.” The maid spoke politely, but not in a servile manner. “Good morning, please have a seat.” Fang Hao also replied with a smile. The maid took a seat and said straight away: “Mr. Fang Hao, there is a shop on the western commercial street that is looking to be sold. Madam asked me to see if you might be interested in buying. If you are, she would reserve it for you.” So, it was news about a store. He had been looking for a store to open a clothing shop, which Rebecca was aware of. Now that there was a suitable one, she wanted to know if he had any intention to buy it. Also, Fang Hao felt that Rebecca was appreciative of their previous cooperation in capturing the ‘Faceless’ and was trying to win him over by offering benefits from the City Lord’s mansion. Of course, he didn’t mind that. He was also investigating the ‘Faceless’, so he would benefit from Rebecca’s actions. “What is the location of the shop like?” Fang Hao asked. The commercial street in Lyss City was quite large, with shops varying in ranks. “Rest assured, the original store was a very famous jewelry store, and it’s now under the city lord’s control. Its location is undoubtedly a prime spot on the commercial street.” The maid introduced with a smile. A jewelry store… Hearing about a jewelry store, Fang Hao suddenly remembered the Faceless member whose arms were severed. Rebecca had mentioned that he was a well-known jeweler and a tycoon in the city. This shop must have belonged to him. After he was caught, the city lord’s mansion took over the shop and put it up for sale. “Alright, I will go and handle the procedure now.” Fang Hao got up immediately. Like commodities, good store locations were up for grabs. If he hesitated, someone else might buy it, leading to regret later. “Yes, sir, please follow me.” The maid also got up, and they both headed out together. They boarded a carriage at the entrance of the mansion and headed for the city lord’s mansion. At the City Lord’s mansion, in the study. After finishing the paperwork, Fang Hao was led by the maid to the room. Rebecca was inside, being fitted for a beige dress by the maid. The dress was not a puffy one but a draping gown. Overall, it looked like a patent product designed by Fang Hao for Rebecca. “How does this one look? It is a dress given by Moriqi Fabric Store.” Rebecca asked softly while looking at herself in the mirror. Fang Hao felt somewhat helpless. Designs were like that, easy to copy, and there was no good solution for it. “Not bad, it’s similar to what my maids wear at home.”
