Becoming God of a Dystopian World

'Wooop, Wooop.'

While Zhao Luo was still pondering on the name of the shop for some reason, Yan and Brother Sang appeared behind him after being pulled in by the door of the shop from outside.

"It's still the same."

Brother Sang said as he looked towards the robes and the people who were here to buy them. The shop was overpacked already as they were filling this place. 

Zhao Luo also looked where Brother Sang was looking and realized that the shop 'Robester' was very crowded.

Right after the signboard with the shop name on it, there were just rows and rows of robes.

Zhao Luo was enchanted by the beautiful design of these dual robes. 

Each robe had two-piece of clothing thus the dual robe name.

An inner robe that was thick and well designed to fit every size of a person's limb. Only the inner cloth could function as a proper dress yet the outer cloth was something that completed the beauty of the robe.

The outer robe was a piece of cloth that was quite similar to the inner robe.

It was like a gown but light in color. It was like a see-through garment that enhanced the color of the inner robe.

"This looks like a tracksuit."

Zhao Luo said while looking at the robes in the starting rows of the shop.

'They are undoubtedly well designed.'

Zhao Luo thought as he looked ahead and knew that he was just at the start and already very impressed.

"Tracksuit?"

Brother Sang said as he hadn't heard such a word before. He had one of his eyebrows raised as he looked at Zhao Luo.

"Tracksuits were like these robes too but without the dual nature. I miss my Nike tracksuit."

Zhao Luo tried to explain though midway he remembered the tracksuit that he would be wearing all the time.

"Let's go look in the further rows."

Yan said to them as he looked more excited than Zhao Luo.

The three then moved towards the front rows.

While passing the crowd they kept on looking at the robes as they passed them. Some were quite beautiful while others were just enchanting. The robes were well designed and they all had certain traits.

Like the robes on the last rows were just normal dual robes but as they kept on moving towards the inner rows of the shop, the robes displayed here had certain traits like they were made cold resistant, heat resistant, wind-resistant, light as the wind, and the list goes on.

"Oh, this one says that it can deflect basic attacks. What 'Holds a chance to reflect the damage of the attack'. Is this real..."

Zhao Luo exclaimed while looking at the brown dual robe. This was the first time he was looking at clothing that would deflect attacks and may even reflect the attack damage on the attacker.

"Yes, we must be in the Earth Zone."

Brother Sang said as he looked at all the robes around him. Most of them had this brownish shade on them.

This was the Zone where the robes were made from the hardest material found in the ground.

It was next to impossible to sew them together. Yet the owner had his ways thus this was one of the reasons why his robes were famous for their quality.

"All the robes here will have these deflection and resistance traits but there is a downside to these robes too. They reduce your speed and also the basic attacks mentioned here are from normal people. If any person from the sect attacks you the robes trait will only help you to some extent." 

Brother Sang explained to Zhao Luo.

The traits were very enticing but what would be the benefit if they weren't even helpful later on.

"Let's go to the Sky Zone."

He said to Zhao Luo and moved towards the next row.

They had already forgotten about Yan who was still behind them looking at the robes around him with greedy eyes.

Zhao Luo looked at the robes on the Sky Zone. Almost every robe here looked like someone had a slim piece of cloth made into a robe. Some robes in this Zone had a bluish shade. While others had grey shade on the outer robe.

"Wear it but you won't feel it."

Zhao Luo read the tag on one of the robes. 

There was a one-line quote on the tag. 

"I won't feel it?"

Zhao Luo questioned himself so he grabbed the robe and as he had the robe in his hand, he couldn't feel its weight.

The robe was made from such materials that if someone had thrown the robe on a blind person who had lost his sense of touch, he wouldn't even feel it as it was weightless.

"Interesting."

Zhao Luo was very impressed by this particular robe. The robe was somewhat between purple and blue too so it was a good choice for the new he should be getting.

"There is still the Heaven Zone left. Let's check that out first."

Brother Sang told Zhao Luo as there was still another row of robes left.

As they passed the Sky Zone, they could see five robes hanging in the next row.

Yes, there were only five of them. Other rows in different Zones had robes in hundreds but the Heaven Zone only had five robes in a row.

"New stock."

Brother Sang said with a smile on his face as he looked at the dazzling robes. He was happy.

He had come here last year too to buy a robe from the heaven zone but all of the robes had sold out.

Every year the owner would make five special robes and place them in the Heaven Zone. 

This time all five of the robes were yet to be sold.

There were two guards especially guarding the row with the five robes.

"Not everyone can get close to them."

The guards stopped Brother Sang.

Zhao Luo and Yan stopped behind him.

'Hmmm. Do they not recognize me?'

Brother Sang wondered as he looked at the guards who looked to be quite eager while performing their duty of guarding the robes.

"Even I may have to think twice before stopping that young man and yet you dare taunt him."

An old man could be seen walking down the stairs.

He took light steps. Each of his steps looked normal yet in an instant he appeared between the guards and Brother Sang.

"Why is every old man this mysterious and powerful?"

Zhao Luo said in a low voice as his thoughts leaked out.

He was shocked as he saw the speed of the old man who took an instant to appear before them. He couldn't help but remember the second elder and his master. 

The second elder was also a master who was more or less as powerful as this old owner of the shop 'Robester' but his master was a monster in the old man category.

An emperor of Gods, Zhao Luo was at a very very low level to even begin comparing his master to someone.

"Did you say something handsome young man?"

The old man glared at Zhao Luo. Even though Zhao Luo had said in a low voice, the elder still picked up on his words.

He couldn't deny the fact that this young man was among the most handsome men that he had seen in his life. Also among the most daring ones too.

"It's a lucky day for us. To meet the great Elder Bo."

Brother Sang said in an exclaiming tone and gave a bow from the shoulders paying respect to the old owner in front of him.

Zhao Luo smiled as if he was forcefully controlling his laugh. 

'Bow To Bo.'

Zhao Luo thought while looking at Brother Sang bowing in front of Elder Bo.

'Nod.'

The elder nodded. 

"Elder Bo, this is my brother, Zhao Luo. We are here to buy a robe for him. He will be going to the sect tomorrow."

Brother Sang introduced Zhao Luo to Elder Bo and also told him the reason for their visit.

"Hmmm. So he is Zhao Luo. Haha. You are lucky that I am in the Xin Range. I had to meet the second elder as he had come to the city. That old dog never used to leave the Sect mountain."

Elder Bo told them while cursing the second elder.

Elder was like a national treasure of the North-East Zone. He was considered the best robe maker and also a genius when it came to crafting the robes with astonishing traits.

Thus for their benefit, every mountain range would welcome him. But he was originally from the Xin Range.

This being the reason for him being close enough with the old man to call him a dog.

"Young man, you are quite an impressive individual. Dousi couldn't stop talking about you. My ears are filled with your praises."

Elder Bo looked at Zhao Luo as he told him about his meeting with the second elder. 

'Dousi...'

Zhao Luo couldn't even imagine anyone calling the Second elder with such a cute name.

"Let's go. I have a better robe that would suit you perfectly. It's one of my best works. The robes in my heaven zone won't even come close to it."

Elder Bo was dissing his own robes while comparing them to the robe that he thought was perfect for Zhao Luo. 

After saying that he starting walking towards the stairs, leading them towards the second floor of the shop.
