Chapter 165: "Magic Backpack" + Possession
"Sister Army Lady?"
The young boy and girl, who had been discussing a certain type of monster, noticed Lin Yu standing motionless and followed her gaze…
"That’s Reims’s workshop. They say he’s the finest carpenter in the entire town. Whether it’s true or not, his furniture is truly exquisite," Will explained.
"Is Sister Army Lady interested in his furniture?"
"Yes, I’d like to purchase a bed."
"Eh?"
All three of them looked surprised.
"Why would you need to buy a bed?"
For sleeping, obviously! Dummy!
Lin Yu mentally rolled her eyes before explaining, "As I mentioned before, I’ve decided to settle down in this town."
"Oh? You’ve already made up your mind?"
"But sister, you don’t even have a house yet…"
"Shouldn’t you buy a house before furnishing it…?"
That did make sense.
But I do have a house! It might be a bit old, but it’s enormous!
"I’m just browsing for now. If I find something suitable, I’ll place an order with the shopkeeper. No need to purchase immediately."
"I see…"
"Houses are expensive, but with Sister Army Lady’s skills, you should be able to afford one soon," Sally remarked, her voice tinged with envy.
Though they hadn’t discussed local housing prices, their expressions suggested properties weren’t cheap in town.
"After checking the furniture, I’d like to explore on my own."
"Eh… You’re not coming with us?"
"No."
You three are the real team here, aren’t you?
"I’ll head to the Adventurer’s Guild in about an hour. If you’re going there too, we can meet up then."
"That makes sense. Now that Sister Army Lady’s an adventurer too, we’ll have plenty of opportunities to meet," Will said cheerfully.
"So what should we do now?"
"Let’s visit the Armor Store first. Now that we’ve got funds, we should invest in some proper leather armor!"
Mayer’s face lit up with excitement.
"We’ve got bandages and medicinal powder for staunching wounds. Actually, why don’t we visit the Apothecary too? We might get some Life Recovery Potions – they could be real lifesavers in emergencies."
"Sally’s right. If we’d had Life Recovery Potions last time, dealing with those Granville Wolves wouldn’t have been so difficult."
"But the Apothecary is quite far from here."
"About the Apothecary… shall we all go together later?" Lin Yu interjected.
"Oh right! Sister Army Lady doesn’t know where the Apothecary is located."
"Then we’ll wait for you at the guild after we finish at the Armor Store."
Lin Yu nodded in agreement.
The trio of young adventurers waved goodbye before heading off.
The golden-haired girl turned and stepped into the furniture shop.
"Wel…come?"
The shopkeeper appeared somewhat startled.
Not surprising… someone dressed like me would be more expected at a weapon shop or armor store.
Lin Yu walked purposefully toward the wooden beds on display.
They were clearly superior to the one crafted by the carpenter in Western Village One.
Among them, one particular bed stood out – not only larger in size but also exquisitely designed, clearly a premium piece.
"What’s the price for this one?"
"You’re interested in purchasing?"
"Yes."
"Well…"
The shopkeeper’s eyes darted thoughtfully.
"Five small gold coins plus two silver coins, but since you’re a new customer, I’ll make it just five small gold coins."
"It’s merely wood. Your price seems excessive."
"Ah, you might not be aware – this isn’t ordinary wood. It’s crafted from ironwood trees deep within Granville Monster Forest, far more durable than regular timber."
"And where else would you find craftsmanship of this quality these days? If you think it’s expensive, I think it’s expensive too."
"Ironwood trees…"
The blonde girl suddenly materialized an enormous two-handed sword from another dimension.
Effortlessly wielding the massive weapon with one hand, she executed several practice swings, the blade whistling through the air.
Her voice carried a chill tone laced with skepticism:
"No matter how hard the wood is, it can’t possibly compare to this steel blade. My greatsword has shattered countless monster bones yet remains unyielding and razor-sharp."
"Perhaps the shopkeeper misremembered the price? Shall we hear it again?"
"Ah, oh dear! My memory fails me – I’ve made a mistake, truly made a mistake! Haha…"
The shopkeeper chuckled sheepishly.
"The price for this bed is one small gold coin plus six silver coins."
"That’s quite a difference from the previous price."
"Ahaha, indeed."
"Those mattress and pillow over there should be part of this wooden bed set, correct? Considering that, one gold coin plus six silver seems more reasonable now."
"Yes, yes…"
Ultimately, Lin Yu paid sixteen silver coins and acquired the luxurious wooden bed with its soft mattress and pillow, leaving her with forty silver coins remaining.
However, the shop didn’t carry blankets or bed covers – perhaps those could be found at a clothing store?
After storing the wooden bed, mattress and pillow in her "Magic Backpack", Lin Yu discovered the storage space was completely filled.
Attempting to use the "Magic Backpack" again proved futile – no additional items could be stored regardless of size.
What to do?
This would be quite problematic without the "Magic Backpack" skill.
To store more items, she’d need to remove something first.
But where would she put anything removed? This wasn’t Foggy Castle… wait… wait a moment!
Come to think of it, while possessing someone, she was using her own skills…
Meaning these items were stored in her Magic Backpack, not Army Lady’s.
Which meant… she could cancel the possession now and retrieve the bedding from her Magic Backpack to place in her castle bedroom!
She wouldn’t even need to trouble Army Lady to transport the bed all the way…
This was practically teleportation!
With this method, future purchases like clothes or potions in town could be instantly sent back to the castle using "Magic Backpack" during possession.
Similarly, forest supplies could be transferred to Army Lady the same way.
She tested this theory shortly after.
Exactly as Lin Yu envisioned, the newly purchased bedding was successfully delivered directly to Foggy Castle through this method.
With the bedding acquired, next came…
…
After exiting the furniture shop, Lin Yu spent some time locating the clothing store she’d noticed the previous night, relying on her memory.
"Welcome~ Oh my, what a lovely young lady."
The boutique owner was an attractive woman in her thirties, dressed in elegant purple attire.
The store happened to be empty at that moment.
"Looking for clothing? I’m afraid we don’t carry armor here."
"Mmm."
Lin Yu responded absently.
The girl’s attention was completely captured by the dazzling array of garments.
So many outfits…
Beyond the varied fabrics and styles of tops and trousers, there were both long and short skirts – each piece more appealing than the last.
Well, to be honest, everything looks good on me – ehehe~
