Hey, Yangzhou Yunjin Workshop has set up a "Code Arena" today! Master Zhang is rolling up his sleeves to compete with Moli in weaving the "Nine-Colored Cloud Pattern", while Huwa hugs the abacus code to act as the "referee candy bean"—the winner gets to make the loser treat everyone to three-flavor buns from Fuchun Teahouse. Pei Hongxiu sits with her legs crossed doing the commentary: "Watch closely! Traditional pattern books versus digital codes, whichever side finishes ten feet first is the 'Yunjin Matchmaker'!"
"Moli! Don't go easy on the master!" the Protagonist shouts. Moli blinks, her fingertips dancing on the loom to the rhythm of "1010", leaving Huwa clicking his tongue in amazement as he watches her flying hands: "Even faster than when I catch crickets!" But Master Zhang's shuttle gets stuck in the "seven-lift-three-shuttle" pattern book, making him slap his thigh in frustration: "Why is this old pattern book messier than Huwa's kite string?"
Right in the middle of the struggle, a weaver drops the Yunjin Cipher Manual into a dye vat: "Ms. Xiao! The 'Cloud Pattern Code' has turned into a 'Blue Smurf'!" Moli fishes the manual out with a "swish", only to discover that the soaked code has developed fluorescent patterns—forming a natural anti-counterfeiting mark on the dyed fabric. Master Zhang stares at the "10" fluorescent cloud pattern on the cloth, clicking his tongue in amazement: "Incredible! It saves even more lamp oil than our 'night-shining brocade'!"
