Gauss browsed around the general store, picking out a bunch of things.
A few sets of plain linen shirts and trousers for daily changes.
A black cloak, sharp and tidy draped over the back; good for shade and keeping out the rain, and if needed, toss it on the ground and it's a blanket.
Pitch-black leather boots with thick wooden soles, polished to a shine, tightened at the sides with metal buckles.
Extra-large tanned leather water flask.
An adventurer's backpack with more space, extra clasps, tool webbing, hidden compartments, storage pouches—room for more tools and equipment.
With the upgrades to his daily gear, he ended up spending another 8 Silver Coins.
But Gauss didn't mind too much; when things get old, they need replacing, and making money is meant to be spent anyway.
Before leaving the shop, he thought for a moment, then added a set of ceramic cups, which came with a little booklet called "Tea Brewing Guide."
