Chapter 740: Nuan Nuan Returns
There were quite a few clothes on the website, but not an overwhelming number—just around forty or fifty items per category, and some of them looked fairly similar in design.
There might be more styles added later, since this feature had only just been developed and still had plenty of room for improvement.
Lin Xue glanced at the coupon in her hand again.
"After using it, you get a 30% rebate on top-ups for a week, and all items are 20% off... Chen Mo is trying to squeeze money out of people again!"
Lin Xue understood the trick as soon as she saw the coupon. There was definitely a scheme behind it!
Obviously, this new feature in *Seaside Mansion* was essentially a "dress-up" mechanic, allowing Nuan Nuan to be styled with various cute outfits.
But the clothes weren't free—you had to top up to buy them. The purpose of this coupon was crystal clear...
Lin Xue didn't plan to top up right away. Since the coupon only took effect after being used, she could just save it for later.
For now, Lin Xue focused on figuring out how to spend the over 20,000 gold coins she had.
She browsed through the website called "Nuan Nuan's Private Wardrobe" and noticed it was designed entirely for the dress-up gameplay. The categories matched those in the game exactly, and each item even had its characteristics highlighted.
For example, some clothes were marked with traits like [Pure] or [Simple]. So when Nuan Nuan needed to wear "simple" clothing, these items would help her complete tasks more effectively.
This was probably a hint for players with questionable fashion sense. Otherwise, forcing cute otaku to learn clothing coordination just to play a game would be a bit too much.
"These clothes all look pretty nice. Even though they're simple, they'd definitely look good on Nuan Nuan."
"This little jacket is nice—buy it."
"Ooh, a white miniskirt? Buy it!"
"Huh? A blue-and-white striped swimsuit? Buy, buy, buy!"
"Lace swimsuit... uh, never mind, too expensive."
Lin Xue instantly turned into a shopping addict, and the 28,888 gold coins were quickly drained.
She was still being "frugal," though. She knew that in the future, she'd need clothes of various styles for dress-up, so she deliberately picked affordable yet good-looking items and made sure to choose different styles.
No more than five minutes after she finished shopping, there was a knock at the door.
"Huh? Nuan Nuan's back? That fast?"
Lin Xue hurried to the door, but it wasn't Nuan Nuan—it was a delivery.
"Hello, this is the clothes you ordered online. Please sign for them," the deliveryman said, holding a large box.
"...Oh, it's a delivery. I only bought these five minutes ago. If real-life delivery were this fast, that'd be amazing," Lin Xue muttered as she signed for the package.
She carried the big box inside, and as soon as she took the clothes out, they were automatically hung in the dressing room. Lin Xue looked at her new purchases with great satisfaction, eager to see how they'd look on Nuan Nuan.
"Why isn't Nuan Nuan back yet..."
Lin Xue paced restlessly around the house. She flipped through the photo album, walked the dog, lay on the rocking chair for a while to watch the sea, and played some games on the Switch in the room. "There are way too few games on here. They should just port all the Switch games from the real world over."
At around 9 p.m., the doorbell rang.
Lin Xue jumped up. "Nuan Nuan's back!"
"I'm home!" Nuan Nuan still had her cute smile on her face, though she looked a bit tired.
"How was it? Did you have fun?" Lin Xue asked.
Nuan Nuan nodded. "Yeah, it was fun! Oh, and I have the photos I took today."
With that, Nuan Nuan handed her phone to Lin Xue.
Lin Xue took it and looked. The photos showed Nuan Nuan meeting up with friends, wearing the outfit Lin Xue had picked out for her today, striking various poses.
There were several photos. In some, Nuan Nuan was the main focus; in others, she was on the edge of the frame.
The other people in the photos included both handsome guys and pretty girls, and the scenes ranged from restaurants to street shots.
Nuan Nuan said, "Thanks for helping me pick out the clothes today—they matched the scenes perfectly. Do you like these photos? Pick three to save."
