Chun had encountered many evil spirits on Evil Spirit Island and was quite familiar with obsessions. Tie's obsession was to beco a Forging Grandmaster, Pyande's obsession was that the City Lord owed him 2 billion in construction fees, Cui just wanted to beco a high-end jeweler, Pinocchio...
Holy Shit, his wish was to make puppets from top-grade oak, and I agreed to that early on, but never had the chance to act on it. Whatever, when I'm in jail, maybe he'll be happy and forgive ...
So this Jenny's obsession is probably obvious too, wanting to beco a Master tailor—not right, she should already be a Master, perhaps she wants to beco a Grandmaster?
This wish...
Chun should ask: "Mina, do you have any way to make her a Tailor Grandmaster?"
Mina sighed: "Of course I can't. But seeing her like this now, it's probably difficult to achieve either."
True, a Grandmaster needs inspiration, or to level up by fighting formidable foes, or guidance from a Divine-level master; trying to beco a Grandmaster by holding your pee and sleepwalking is impossible. But the current problem is I don't dare to knock on her door and communicate at all! Knocking would disturb her, and if she strikes back I can't even imagine!
Chun totally understands this state, just like when he used to get lost in thought while tackling tough problems, completely undisturbed...
Should he give up and find soone else?
Let's give up for now, Moore's tasks involve too many characters. Perhaps, first find the other ones like Van Gogh, the fishing dude Hemingway, Pharmacist Dalron, and then those experiences can be used to tackle this indirectly. After all, he accumulated so synergy experience in Silver City.
Just then, Aileen's voice chid in: "Vivian is dreamwalking to the lighthouse again!"
Ah! Talk about a Sleepwalker, and there she cos!
"Let take a look!"
Chun peered through the mirror, seeing Vivian's hazy figure glancing around under the Conch Lighthouse.
She usually goes to sleep after her midnight shift, and it's now the middle of the night, exactly the ti she would co. But yesterday when she ca, Mina and I could greet her, now there's no one? Aileen is a secret, can't let her see that; should I send other Dancing Girls? Their intelligence might be lacking, and would bore Vivian...
How about—
Chun had an idea: "Aileen, how about we teleport her over, she's resourceful, I want to have a chat?"
Aileen replied: "Sure, I can imdiately open a gate on the island and teleport her here."
"Okay, no need to speak, just open the gate, her curiosity should lead her to enter."
The Magic Mirror in Chun's hand flashed, revealing a Spatial Gate.
As expected, the gate rippled, and Vivian appeared looking bewildered, right at Chun, filled with surprise!
"Shh!!"
Chun and Mina imdiately made shushing gestures: "Keep your voice down."
Vivian quickly scanned the surroundings and then noticed Mina: "Who is this?"
Oh, the first thing she asks is about people, not the place, what does that say about her state of mind?
Chun explained: "It's the Dragon you saw last night, Mina."
Vivian was astonished: "You, you ride her?"
Chun was a bit embarrassed: "It's necessary for combat."
Mina chuckled: "It can be necessary when resting too."
Chun quickly addressed the issue: "Miss Vivian, we are inside Gem City's textile factory, in Jenny's Dream Realm here... She should be a Master tailor, do you, with your sources, know her?"
Only then did Vivian understand: "Is it Starry Textile Factory?"
Oh, Chun hadn't noticed the factory na!
Mina confird: "Yes!"
Vivian was quite pleased: "You've asked the right person! Master-level figures can be found by checking guilds and chambers of comrce, but so Masters are not publicly traceable, that relies on our tavern's underground intelligence, Jenny being the hidden genius in the clothing world who can't be publicly found, her talent could have made her an excellent Mage, but—"
Suddenly, a voice ca from inside: "Who's talking about ?"
Chun was alard! Was it that Vivian's voice had disturbed her? Surely not... or does she hear whenever soone praises her behind her back?
The workshop door opened, and standing there was Jenny, with a blurry presence and a daunting aura! Chun's vision was filled with red light, always on the brink of explosion, and he even doubted whether his Ti Freeze could hold the scene—Holy Shit, why is she so formidable!
Vivian, however, fearlessly smiled with familiarity: "Hello, Miss Jenny, I'm Vivian, the owner of the Night Rose Tavern in Black Iron City, I'm just... passing by, paying you a visit."
Chun was sweating! But, alright, Vivian is an old hand at this, let her do the talking.
Jenny asked: "How co you know about all the way in Black Iron City?"
Vivian smiled: "Don't underestimate the intel a tavern owner has, for instance, this Starry Textile Factory in Gem City is actually an outsourced factory for the Imperial luxury brand Hua Di Tianjiao, and the supposedly public Imperial brand products are actually labeled and produced here in this factory. So of these new fashion items might not even be designed by the Imperial designer Claudia, because her designs aren't this good!"
Jenny was taken aback: "You... know a lot."
At that mont, the red light disappeared from Chun's vision!
Holy Shit! Chun finally relaxed. What are they chatting about? Industry, fashion, insider news... even ten of myself wouldn't be able to join this conversation! As for Mina, she's been dead for who knows how many years, so she couldn't possibly keep up with fashion to chat about it.
But the key is, Vivian ntioning soone better than the Imperial designer, could that be Jenny? To think she has reached such a level!
Vivian comnted: "I still don't know why Miss Jenny chooses to remain anonymous, it leads to various speculations."
Jenny asked: "What kind of speculations?"
Vivian sighed: "Like, having her achievents taken by nobles, such things happen all the ti."
Jenny shook her head and sighed: "Those are baseless claims, right now I just want to break through to Grandmaster, since Miss Vivian knows so much, do you have any suggestions?"
Vivian was montarily stumped: "Well..."
Chun felt it was ti to step in: "I suggest, wouldn't it be good if Miss Jenny went out for a stroll and t so peculiar people, maybe she could gain inspiration from them?"
The original plan was to first address the few people and then turn back to help Jenny, but now he could try having Jenny tackle them. Plus, it would be intriguing to see if her sleepwalking state exists in the real world or the dream realm, or both worlds simultaneously? If it's the third, that's pretty mind-blowing beyond Chun's understanding.
Jenny looked at Chun, her brow furrowed.
Once again, Chun's vision flooded with red light!
Holy Shit! Doubting my persuasiveness? Is being a Grandmaster that special? I have loads of skills! Even Gem Flower Eve was conquered by my skills, so how could you be more prideful than City Beauty?
