The elevator door opened, revealing the top of the atrium balcony with a width of about fifty meters, from where it joins the vertical wall to its edge where there are chameleon glass balustrade hemming its perimeter.
"Lord players..."
Madame Juli froze mid sentence. All of them could see the back of a voluptuous sleeping beauty on a sofa some meters away from them, and just like her; the sleeping beauty has a very huge backside and a slim waist that holds the string of a g-string that only managed to cover her crotch. However unlike her, she looks far younger, maybe a young teenager, and her long red hair is very curly and let to flow freely behind her, that they rest on the floor as she sleeps with her back facing the edge of the sofa.
["Big bro, that's inappropriate right?!"]
Starboy sent Skylar a voice transmission. His big brown eyes are glued to one of the large prominent hips of the sleeping beauty; the one that is raised high, with the other deposited on the sofa as she sleeps.
["You are right. Those back pair and side pieces should not belong to a young one."]
Similarly, Skylar responded with a voice transmission of his own. However, his eyes are on the massive and round flesh of the sleeping beauty backside.
Coming to suddenly, after her eyes caught sight of something; madame juli rushed towards a floating object like a round table top in front of the sofa the voluptuous sleeping beauty is sleeping on.
As fast as she can when she reached the floating table, she simultaneously with both hands, grabbed several objects she held to her massive breasts before she ran towards a high-end tent some meters away like a thief caught in the act, and with her backside swaying intensely like the surface of a turbulent ocean.
That's a dildo right? Its definitely a dildo, I saw it. Yes, I am sure its a dildo; it can only be a dildo. Yes, that shape and form, it is a dildo...
Skylar almost failed not to blurt out his loud thought in his head. Before madame juli's hand reached the top of the table earlier; he was able to glimpse a black object that has a shape of a cucumber with a round plastic handle on one end that house a switch at one side, and was one of the objects madame juli later took with her as she tries to stow them away as fast as she can just now.
But why is it so big? And who is the actual owner?
Skylar wondered.
"Big bro, any idea why she did that?" Starboy questioned and looked briefly to his side at Skylar standing there with an amused smile on his face.
In response, Skylar chuckled then smile. "Well, She's obviously trying to hide something."
"You know what that is, big bro?" Starboy questioned. On his somewhat round face and big round eyes is an expectant expression.
"Maybe, its a trade secret." Skylar shrugged. "You know she is a store keeper."
"..." Starboy chose not to press the matter further, though he felt Skylar might have seen something based on how he saw him react to madame juli's ungraceful dash.
Meanwhile, madame Juli who is now dressed in a black plus-size embroidered kaftan dress, returned a moment later. She walked towards the two with a professional smile on her exceptionally stunning oval face, whilst her chestnut brown eyes reflect from time to time, Skylar who stood stunned with his eyes on her, especially her assets loosely outlined by her large gown.
"Lord players... please forgive me; I had to quickly respond to an emergency." Saying this, she bowed her head slightly to the two.
"We understand. We are not unreasonable." Skylar replied with a nod of the head and a warm smile. Then going past her, he starts walking towards the floating table top in front of the sleeping beauty. And as madame Juli followed behind him, Starboy went the opposite way towards a barrel chair some meters in the distance.
A moment later, Skylar reached the floating table top which has on it; two glyph interactive tablets, three cloth pieces, two rolls of cloth, three spools that hold metal threads, a high-end goggles, and three unfamiliar devices.
For some time, his eyes rest on the image of a dress design displayed by one of this tablets, scrutinizing it.
"Do you guys design all the clothes you sell?" He asked madame Juli whilst his eyes went from the tablet to one of the unfamiliar device.
"Yes lord players. We are a brand." Madame Juli replied. She is standing right beside him, watching him and his actions intently.
"What does that guy do?" Skylar pointed at the device. It looked like a flat box 75cmx75cm flat and 25cm thick, and its made of transparent glass through which Skylar could see parts of its gears and a flat board that has golden glyph characters on it at one side, seemingly extending beyond the bottom edge of the lowest gear.
"Lord player, Its used with the other two to weave glyphs into fabrics." Saying this, Madame Juli bent a little and tapped the surface of the device which responded by turning black and then displaying a familiar UI.
"Ah, I remember now. Eres told me about this." Skylar blurted. He smiled as he remembered the conversation he had at one point with Eres in his mind.
He turned his face to look at madame Juli whilst he still hold his smile. "Its for enchanted clothes right? Tier zero, Tier one, Tier two, Tier three?"
"Lord player, that's not how it works?" Disagreeing with a gentle shake of her head, madame Juli bent again to pick one of the fabric lying on the floating table.
"Lord player. An enchanted apparel is made from enchanted materials. But an enchanted fabric is simply a clothing material that has glyphs woven into it. Like this one..." She spread the fabric on her palm, exposing its surface to Skylar who is listening attentively. She continued, "This... before it was enchanted was an ordinary silk cloth. But now that glyphs we called textile glyphs has been interwoven into its lattice, it has become like this. Watch lord player.."
Madame Juli proceed to stretch the previous silk cloth that gave in and snap right back like rubber. However when it stretched, Skylar noticed the cloth absorb miniscule ether from her and the air.
He smiled, "I totally understand now. Its like the glyph is used to influence its properties? That's why they call it enchanted fabric, its a literal word?"
"Yes, lord player." Madame Juli smiled genuinely. "And the changes made to it after enchantment will depend on the glyphs we add to it, and lord player there certain fabrics that have glyphed added to them when they are being made from their raw materials, the glyph addition is not always after the fabric has been made. I don't know if lord player can manage to see the tiny metal wires that formed the glyphs in this silk lattice. Some players can see it?"
She politely passed Skylar the fabric whilst holding a concealed playful smile.
Look at this woman, she is trying to test me. *Chuckle* I will forgive you because of your abundance, but not next time.
Skylar thought as he collected the fabric from her. And after he brought it closer, he switched on combat realm of hyperfocus that will help him increase the volume of information he can receive, the speed he can receive them, and the speed at which he can process them; and along with it, he also switched on combat realm of hypersense that will increase the capabilities and capacity of his five senses and the sixth one, which is the mysterious sense, danger sense or his extrasensory faculty.
It should be here.
Skylar looked at a tiny part of the fabric where he was able to see a length of microscopic wire weave among its lattice to form a shape that looks like the shape formed when the top of a rose flower is dipped in a plate that holds lard with a smooth surface.
"Its a flower circle thing right?" Skylar raised his head to look at madame Juli. And as his words stunned her, making her cover her mouth with both hands, and whilst smiling at her, he added, "And I guess the metal is copper."
"No way, lord player. you are the second person to clearly see a textile glyph with the naked eye..." Madame Juli declared with geniune excitement. However, Skylar just chuckled and shrugged as he responded.
"Its no big deal, and I think that's exagerrated. There should be a lot other players that could see it. Maybe they haven't given it a try yet or just don't care... you know."
"Lord player, you are really modest. This are things most other players will brag about..." Madame Juli started smiling genuinely as she looked at Skylar's face and eyes boldly unlike she has ever done before.
This woman is really becoming too overly familiar.
Skylar thought. He then looked away from madame Juli and turned to the earlier glyph tablet that holds a dress design.
"So, who is the one designing this? You hire professionals?" He inquired.
"Hee—Hee~ No lord player. My daughter is our chief designer. That's her profession."
Saying this, madame Juli bend across Skylar in order to pick up the glyph tablet, and as she did, the outline of her huge breast was greatly emphasized by her gown that sagged at the bust region.
She is definitely not wearing a bra. Skylar after seeing the outlined shape of her breast concluded. He chuckled faintly.
"Lord player, this is her latest design." Madame Juli after picking the tablet and tapping it—making it light up brighter than before after probably unlocking it—passed it to Skylar, so that he can have a better look.
Skylar collected the tablet, but he didn't look at it right away. Instead, he looked at the almost naked biege-skinned beauty that is sleeping on the sofa with her back that has a prominent dimple of venus to them.
"Is she your daughter?" He asked her.
"Yes, lord player. She is our little angel... Remi." Madame Juli replied with a proud smile as she almost stick up her chest with pride.
Skylar chuckled. "I understand." She is probably the little genius behind their success...
He turned his smiling face from Remi to look at madame Juli.
"Is it alright for me to look at this? Is it not something you keep a secret?..." He showed her the tablet.
However shaking her head, madame Julie smiled at him "No, lord player. Its one of many. And I don't think you are the type to take what belongs to others..."
"Hmm..." Skylar smiled back. "You are playing the good person tactic. What if... never mind."
Mid sentence, Skylar waved his hand, then he turned his focus to the content of the glyph tablet screen.
Dispayed on it, is a strapless dress design like a high split dress; that has a curved triangular piece of it at the two sides from the waist line to the hem, cut out completely to form a dress that will only cover the front and back of the wearer, and so will reveal a huge portion of their thighs and legs, and even their waist.
People really wear this kind of dress...
Skylar wondered. Next, he dragged his finger on the screen to rotate and magnify the dress; an action which now make the screen display one side of the skirt of the dress which just like the other side has a curvilinear triangular space that starts from its waistband, making it looks like it consist only of one panel of fabric at the back and another at the front.
"What's this dress called?" He looked briefly at madame Juli who is shoulder to shoulder with him, almost coming into close with her fiery red lips.
"Lord player, its a goddess dress concept." She replied.
"Here is our latest twist." She put a finger on the screen and dragged it downward a bit to reveal the side of the dress's strapless bodice that feature an oval-shape cut out that will reveal the skin, starting from the armpit where the dress neckline is to its waistband where its skirt's separated back and front panel joined and starts to widen out.
She continued, "The end of the cut outs are not separated from the waistband like this one."
She swiped on the tablet screen to reveal a sleeveless plunge, cowl neckline dress that features a widening gap each at its two sides that goes from its armholes way down, like its made from a separated front and back panel that include both bodice and skirt, and will be held at the waistline by ribbon ropes fitted to the sides of the two panels.
"I see." Skylar nodded in understanding. Then, Just like she just did just now, he also swiped the tablet to reveal another design; and the design is of a skirt that looks like a fantasy style loincloth, that its front panel and back panel that are attached separately to a waistband, might reach the ankle of the wearer.
"What about this one?" His gaze led her gaze to the screen.
"Lord player. That is a loincloth variation. We can call it a loincloth skirt."
Skylar nodded after she replied. Once again, he swiped the tablet screen, and another design popped up.
Oh... Its like the skirt of those guys from nature cult.
He saw the design of a short skirt like a grass skirt and exactly like the one the giant girl and the people from nature cult he saw at the entrance of the safe zone wore, but one that is a little longer as it almost reached the knee, unlike those from nature cult that barely covered the thigh.
"Lord player... that's a preexisting design we are trying to improve." Madame Juli explained to him, making him nod his head.
