Chapter 200: The Beautiful Clothes Finally Selected, Each One a Little Surprise
After careful selection, the following ten beautiful garments finally caught Bai Mengran's eye and were bestowed with a sachet by the Emperor: (with pictures)
* "Floating Splendor, Ninefold Spring Colors"
—A gradient-colored, high-waisted ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), with a skirt embroidered with hundreds of flowers, which, when walking, resembles the overlapping shadows of spring mountains.
(Included with the system: petal-shaped anti-exposure snap)
*“Butterfly Soul: A Thousand Fluttering Shadows”
—A light pink short jacket paired with a twelve-panel skirt in contrasting colors, the embroidered butterflies on the skirt fluttering in the wind as if alive, automatically adjusting the angle of light and shadow to detect the gaze of passersby.
(System bonus: Rouge box and selfie mirror in a hidden pocket inside the skirt)
* "Xuanji Silk - Starry Sky Tour"
—A deep blue jacket with a front opening paired with a twelve-panel skirt, the folds of which conceal luminous silk threads, cascading like a silver river at night.
(System bonus: Detachable shawl/face-changing garment)
* "Langhuan Satin - Green Cliff White Deer"
—A short jacket with a cross-collar paired with a horse-face skirt, the skirt printed with ink-wash mountain streams and deer, and a jade compass buckle inlaid on the belt.
(Bonus feature: The petticoat can be folded into a round fan design)
* "Moonlight Silk - Moonlit Night"
—A plain white, wide-sleeved shirt paired with an ice-blue herringbone skirt; the fabric becomes translucent upon contact with body temperature, as if draped in moonlight.
(System bonus: specially designed suspender top to prevent wardrobe malfunction)
* "Azure Silk - Thousand Lotus Crossing"
—A light green embroidered long jacket, with lotus embroidery on the lapel that blooms when wet, automatically waterproof in rainy weather.
(System Easter Egg: Lotus flowers can be picked to make sachets, and there's no end to the harvest)
* "Mermaid Silk - Mirage"
—A colorful, waist-length ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), the double-layered fabric changes color with the wind, and shimmers with rainbow light under the sunlight.
(System prompt: When used with a special belt, it can be used as a life-saving floatation bladder)
*“Ephemeral Silk - Night-Blooming Beauty”
—A moon-white cross-collar ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) paired with a gradient purple wide-sleeved shirt. The fabric contains luminescent silk, which reveals epiphyllum patterns after nightfall. The waist ribbon can be detached and used as a hairband.
(System Black Technology: Temperature Control System, Warm in Winter and Cool in Summer)
*"Mountains and Rivers Brocade - Soaring Guest"
—The dark blue round-necked robe is embroidered with silver thread landscape patterns, and the shoulder is inlaid with magnetic buckles to secure the cape. The cuffs conceal retractable dagger sheaths.
(Bonus system item: Clothing collar inlaid with cool jade pieces, automatically cooling down in summer)
*“Kunpeng Satin - Hidden in the Vast Ocean”
— An indigo-colored straight robe paired with a black iron scale patterned waist belt, with waterproof oilcloth embedded in the back hem that automatically unfolds into a rain-proof cloak when wet.
(System bonus: Tap the black iron beast head buckle on the waist three times to repel snakes, insects and ferocious beasts)
The first eight items are women's clothing, and the last two are men's clothing.
The selection of women's clothing is simply too extensive, while men's clothing is relatively limited in comparison. This difference in market share can be seen from the proportion of products on the selection page.
Moreover, Bai Mengran noticed that apart from the color variations, the styles of those men's clothes were all very similar...
So she quite favored choosing several more women's clothing items, mainly because these ready-to-wear clothes were just too beautiful!!!
"Tongbao, I've already chosen the items. So... can I also have these eight women's clothing styles?"
Bai Mengran was already smitten just from looking at the renderings. To get her hands on the clothes, she even offered, "I can wear them and be a free model!"
The system hadn't expected that after sending the host so many bespoke haute couture pieces, the host would still have such a fondness for these ordinary styles?
However, it swallowed the words that were about to come out and instead chose to agree, saying, "Of course, you can have whatever you like, host!"
"That's great! I'll be the first to wear these clothes tomorrow, and once the store opens, I'll show them off everywhere with real customer photos! It's a win-win situation!"
Bai Mengran thought all the clothes were beautiful and she liked them all. In her opinion, there was no distinction between different grades of clothes; as long as the material was good and she liked them, that was enough.
She was amazed that every piece of ancient costume designed by the system was aesthetically pleasing and perfectly matched her taste.
Therefore, she went to great lengths to select ten styles from these beautiful clothes according to her own taste.
Unexpectedly, since transmigrating, she has enjoyed the celebrity treatment of wearing different clothes every day. This alone makes Bai Mengran laugh out loud in her dreams at night.
[Host, the next step is to price these ten ready-to-wear garments.] The system began to advance the process.
"Hmm... that is indeed a big problem. After all, the price determines the layout and positioning of the entire store, so we need to consider it carefully."
Bai Mengran quickly returned to work mode, showing her serious side, "So, do you have any suggestions, System Master? Let me know so I can consider them~"
[Since the host wants to focus on a premium, accessible luxury market, I think the pricing should be raised to at least three to five times the cost price. What do you think, host?]
"Yes, that's what I was thinking too~ The cost price of the outfits I chose is also different, so let's divide them into several different price ranges based on the cost price."
【Alright, host, just set the price according to your own ideas. As long as it's above cost, I'll approve it.】
"Okay, then I'll set the price myself."
Since the system trusted her so much, Bai Mengran, who held the initiative, immersed herself in enjoying the fun of selecting products and setting prices herself.
她把系统成本价在80至100之间的「琅嬛缎·青崖白鹿」、「碧落绸·千莲渡」这两款定价为388文钱，120—150之间的「浮光锦·九重春色」、「璇玑纱·星汉游」定价为588文钱，180—200之间的「蝶魄罗·翩千影」、「碧落绸·千莲渡」定价为888文钱，而成本价相对最高的两款「鲛人绡·海市蜃」和「昙华绡·夜昙妩」她则定价为1088。
The cost prices of the two men's garments were 128 and 178 respectively. Bai Mengran priced "Shanhe Jin·Lingxiao Ke" at 588 wen and "Kunpeng Duan·Yin Canglan" at 888 wen.
Bai Mengran set the price for each piece of clothing according to her own ideas.
Although these clothes are a bit expensive for ordinary people, she believes that when people see the quality of these ready-made clothes, they will feel that they are worth the price.
These designer clothes not only look outstanding, but also have some unique additional functions. They're such a great deal!
As for why a higher price wasn't set, Bai Mengran felt that this was only the first wave of promotion, and more consideration needed to be given to its universality.
In any society, only a minority are ever truly wealthy, and she still hopes to benefit a wider range of people as much as possible.
Furthermore, as the store upgrades, more high-end clothing will be unlocked in the future, and it won't be too late to launch high-priced items then.
She stopped dwelling on the decisions she had already made and instead asked the system, "System, we've got another one sorted out. What's next?"
The system glanced at the task list and thought, "Hmm, the newly unlocked food delivery feature can be set up tomorrow during the day..."
[Returning to host, now only the newly acquired luxury restaurant needs your setup!]
The system's voice was filled with excitement when it mentioned the restaurant, finally giving its host a decent place to eat.
Bai Mengran was also very happy: "Hey, the efficiency tonight is pretty high! I thought I'd have to work overtime. It looks like I'll be able to explore the canyon soon!"
Thinking of her incredibly awesome new teammate from yesterday, she couldn't wait to have the system open the restaurant settings interface and start setting it up, beginning with naming the restaurant...
