Second Life: Welcome to Gaia

Chapter 61: Fashion items

When the boss finally fell to the ship's floor in another inglorious position, they heard two system announcements. 

System: Congratulations to Immortals' players Jun Xie, Conan, Ashardalon, Demon Fox, Harpy, I Love Skooma, My Girl, Snow White, Hello Kitty, and Mage of the Cold Nights for being the first party to clear the Hell mode of Underwater Tunnel Dungeon! Your achievement will be written in the annals of Tientsin City. Rewarding 1000 experience points, 1 skill point, and a random reward from the Adventurer's Guild.

Tientsin Region system Announcement: Congratulations to Immortals' players Jun Xie, Conan, Ashardalon, Demon Fox, Harpy, I Love Skooma, My Girl, Snow White, Hello Kitty, and Mage of the Cold Nights for being the first party to clear the Hell mode of Underwater Tunnel Dungeon! Your achievement will be written in the annals of Tientsin City history.

Only their party could hear the first announcement, thus others don't know the reward given by the system for getting the first clear. However, the second announcement was heard by every player in the Tientsin region.

In this way, the system can protect the players, hiding the parties' reward when they complete important quests, get the first clear of a dungeon, and beat the previous clear records.

Every team member started to celebrate their achievement. Mostly Ashardalon, My Girl, Hello Kitty, and even Harpy, because this is the first time their names are announced to an entire region.

Arshadalon smiled with pride. He knew that following Ye Yan was the right choice. When he joined the guild, he knew it would help them achieve many things, but he never would imagine that it would be so soon.

Hello Kitty is clapping her hands in excitement and even started to wag her cat tail like a dog.

Ye Yan was smiling at their new achievement. He knew that it would help increase the guild's popularity in the game.

Conan was very happy. The announcement is helping him become famous and increasing the chance of him getting a girlfriend, but he can get a bonus.

As a member of the main party of the guild, Conan started to getting paid for playing, so he didn't need to be desperate to get equipment and sell it for money. And every time his party gets an achievement that promotes the guild, he will receive a bonus in his salary.

While Conan is counting the money he will receive, Demon Fox, Snow White, I Love Skooma, and Mage of the Cold Nights were congratulating each other for appearing in an announcement again.

Harpy gave an almost imperceptible smile to show her mood, but she soon became serious again and glared at her husband that was making a spectacle of himself again.

After glaring at her husband, her mood got better again because she received a call from her children, that are studying in a school in Tientsin City, thus they heard their parents' names in the announcement.

Her children were so happy that it looks like it was them that got the achievement.

When they finally calmed down, they looted the boss's body, leaving him only with his red panties. Everything else went to their space bags.

This time, the loot was very good. They got another Pirate's Hat and many other items. However, something upset them. Mad Dog didn't participate in the dungeon run but is the player that got the better items.

The only gold quality item that dropped until now is a sword suited for swordsmen. In addition, they had already got silver saber before. 

They really can't understand why the swordsman is so lucky.

They distribute the items among the team members before they go to the storage. Conan got the Small Firebombs, so now he has a ranged item.

The red shoes will be put on the guild storage on the bank later for the guild members to get them when they will need it to do a quest because of the charisma given by the equipment. 

And the Sexy Red Dress was taken by Snow White, but she certainly is not the right person to wear it, because she looks like a barrel wrapped in red cloth or a gas cylinder with a red cover. That, plus her beard, created a very funny picture.

After they stored the loot,  they got the chests' keys and went to the storage to retrieve the alchemical potions.

This time, when they opened the wooden chests, they got a surprise because there were very good items inside them, from equipment and consumables to fashion gear.

Fashion gear is different from normal equipment because has little to no power or defense. They are just customization items that players can use to look different or decorate an item.

They found four fashion items, among them, two could be worn by players. The other two were a skull and crossbones design that they can pay a craft to draw on any item and a white hair dye.

Conan readily lay claim to the tattoo. He thought that it would make him look very cool. He was ready to fight for it if needed.

Looking at how Conan want the tattoo, they let him get it without a fight. They will have other opportunities of getting fashion items. And the fashion design can be used by any guild member, so they can personalize a piece of equipment if they want to.

The earring was taken by Ye Yan because Demon Fox and Conan said that it would look cool on him, and maybe it could change a little his always serious expression when near girls.

The earring indeed made him look different. It gave Ye Yan a buccaneer[1] air. 

Besides the fashion items, they found many miscellaneous materials that they can use to upgrade or forge weapons and equipment. Not only that, but they also found a piece of red coral inside the chest that they can sell for a good price or use to craft amulets for them.

After clearing the wooden chests, they could finally leave the dungeon and take a rest. Consecutive dungeon runs tired them a lot.

....

[1] Pirates are men and women who attack ships or coastal towns in an attempt to rob them or capture prisoners for ransom. They are thieves with a boat that tend to use violence and intimidation to get what they want. Pirate is a general term to describe any misbehavior when there's some water and a boat involved. They do not discriminate when it comes to their victims. Any nationality is fair game.

Privateers were men and ships in the semi-employ of a nation that was at war. Privateers were private ships encouraged to attack enemy ships, ports, and interests. They had the official sanction and protection of the sponsoring nation and had to share a portion of the plunder.

The Buccaneers were a specific group of privateers and pirates who were active in the late 1600s. The word comes from the French boucan, which was smoked meat made by hunters on Hispaniola out of the wild pigs and cattle there. These men set up a business of selling their smoked meat to passing ships but soon realized that there was more money to be made in piracy.

Corsair is a word in English applied to foreign privateers, generally either Muslim or French. The Barbary pirates, Muslims who terrorized the Mediterranean from the 14th until the 19th centuries, were often referred to as "corsairs" because they did not attack Muslim ships and often sold prisoners into enslavement.
