Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 71 Shopping
"Wow! That's a lot!"

"Wow! So beautiful!"

The two girls had already prepared a plan and brought Gu Zhao to one of Guangzhou's shopping meccas: Animation City.

The anime city, known as the Akihabara of Guangzhou, is a paradise for the second dimension. With anime as its core, it brings together numerous shops, exhibitions and activities, and is always crowded even on weekdays.

In addition to anime peripherals, gaming equipment, comic book stores, theme restaurants, etc., the most important thing is of course the clothing store.

The clothing stores here not only have ordinary seasonal clothes, but also various anime costumes. In addition to a large number of Sakura paste anime, with the rise of domestic games and animation in recent years, there are also various Tianxia ancient costumes.

"This must be the costume worn by Yan Lingji in Qin's Moon. It's so beautiful!"

"And Ning Hongye from 'Naraka: Bladepoint'!"

"Look at that girl, she's so tall. She's cosplaying the Empress from One Piece."

The three of them toured along the way. In addition to looking at clothes, they also visited many cosplay enthusiasts around them. From the ancient Saint Seiya and Dragon Ball to the more recent Naruto and One Piece, most of the cos are still based on the Sakura Cream anime.

But the ones who gathered the most were a black monkey and Ao Bing.

Jiang Shishi looked at Ao Bing, then at Gu Zhao, "If you cosplay as Ao Bing, you'll definitely be more handsome than him!"

Gu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you for not asking me to cosplay as Taiyi Zhenren."

The next moment, an indifferent voice sounded behind him, "Please make way."

The three of them turned around and saw a fat white man wearing a blue cloth open-chested Taoist robe, a nine-petal lotus golden crown on his head, and two small mustaches on his mouth.

Gu Zhao, “…”

Gu Zhao hurriedly made way, and heard the sounds of "goose, goose, goose" coming from the left and right. Jiang Shishi and Xiao Ya lowered their heads, but their shoulders kept shaking.

"Did you do this on purpose?" Gu Zhao said helplessly.

"We didn't say anything!" Jiang Shishi's laughter caused waves of laughter, which made Gu Zhao unable to help but look at her, and then he immediately looked away.

Raising an eyebrow at Xiao Ya, Jiang Shishi said to Gu Zhao, "The incident at Qingcheng Mountain last time is now even."

On that day on Qingcheng Mountain, Gu Zhao complained about the Quanzhen Taoist siege of the Zhengyi Taoist, and Jiang Shishi interrupted him. It happened to be heard by a Taoist priest, which was very embarrassing.

Xiao Ya looked at Gu Zhao, then at a nearby window, "Actually, you could try that dress."

In the window, a suit of bright silver battle armor was placed on the hanger. It had double-layer shoulder armor, a silver dragon's mouth, a body of thousands of scales, a dragon head around the waist, and a circle of white mane around it. Next to it stood a big sword with nine teeth on its back, which looked mighty and domineering.

Gu Zhao waved his hand and shook his head, "It's too troublesome to put on."

The three of them chatted and laughed along the way. The two girls bought several pieces of clothes, but they did not let Gu Zhao carry the bags. Instead, they sent them directly home after they had bought enough.

"To shoot an ancient style video, I need to buy some fairy-like clothes."

Xiao Ya and Jiang Shishi lingered in several ancient costume shops. These were probably shops that also catered to film and television. In addition to anime costumes, there were also some functional clothing. Gu Zhao saw knight costumes, flying fish costumes, scholar robes, and even a Ming yellow Taoist robe with a nine-beam scarf.

The shop is not small. Besides them, there are some people picking clothes in twos and threes. It sounds like they are either self-media or a short drama crew.

After watching Gu Zhao's video, Jiang Shishi probably knew what Gu Zhao was thinking. She clasped her hands together and asked again, "Brother, please help me. If you don't want to show your face, you can wear a mask."

Gu Zhao thought about it and didn't refuse. He just said, "I don't know much martial arts right now. If you want to shoot a video, you have to wait a while." Xiao Ya immediately agreed, "It's okay. There's no rush. I can't delay your practice."

Thanks to the fact that Gu Zhao had shown some ability, not only did they have the testimony of Taoist Master Yansong from Qingcheng Mountain, but Xiao Ya also had Taoist Master Yihong to testify, so they were convinced that Gu Zhao often practiced in seclusion and did not reply to messages.

"I'll do it as soon as possible." Gu Zhao nodded, actually he was quite looking forward to it.

He only knows the White Crane Fist now, and has not learned any other boxing techniques. He also doesn't know sword, knife, gun, or stick techniques, so his fighting style is definitely not as good as that of a professional martial artist.

But now he has magical powers, and his strength, speed, reaction and coordination have been greatly enhanced. Although he is not as good as the corpse ghosts who specialize in refining corpses in the other world or the big monsters who are good at physical bodies, he can be regarded as the ceiling among ordinary humans.

With such a foundation, learning martial arts can be said to be easy and it won't take too long. Once you learn Tai Chi, Bagua, Xingyi, and then Tai Chi sword, Bagua knife, Xingyi spear, you can probably start working.

Whether it is the start of construction here or the start of construction there.

Gu Zhao:

"Come on, try this on!" Jiang Shishi handed a knight's outfit and a bamboo hat to Gu Zhao.

"And this one, a scholar dancing with a sword." Xiao Ya also wore a scholar's robe in one hand and a wig in the other. "It's nice to have some contrast."

Jiang Shishi looked back and sized up Gu Zhao, "Gentleman Sword?"

Gu Zhao: ???
In fact, Gu Zhao’s premonition was not wrong.

The few of them strolled from morning until almost dinner time. The two girls didn't let Gu Zhao carry their bag, but after letting Gu Zhao change a few sets of clothes, they treated Gu Zhao as a model with shining eyes and began to try on clothes for him enthusiastically.

Even though Gu Zhao had a lot of magical powers, he was still a little tired.

In the end, the three of them bought several sets of clothes, and the two girls also bought one set each for Gu Zhao, as a thank you for his company today.

……

Gu Zhao returned home and collapsed on the bed, feeling drained.

"The only thing scarier than shopping with one woman is shopping with two women at the same time." Gu Zhao said an old joke, and then received a call from his father.

"The carriage you wanted is finished. When can you come back to take a look?" Gu Qi said on the phone.

"Done, so quickly?" Gu Zhao sat up with a somersault.

"Don't forget who your father is!" Gu Qi said proudly, "A mere antique carriage is easy to take. It's as easy as pie!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Dad is awesome. I will go back to pick up the car tomorrow!" Gu Zhao flattered.

I had told Zhang Hang before that I wanted to buy a car, but I didn’t expect that my car in the other world would arrive first.

The last time they went to Xiu Yue County, it took them quite a while to travel the thirty miles. Thinking about traveling to various places in the other world in the future, they still needed a means of transportation.

Gu Zhao didn't think about buying a car in the other world. After all, ancient carriages had neither rubber tires nor shock-absorbing springs, and relied entirely on cushions to protect the buttocks, which he had no desire for.

So I decided to come back and ask my dad for help, and asked him to make a carriage that looked ancient but was very comfortable to sit in.

I didn't expect that my dad would deliver the goods in just a few days.
