Before you asked, no, I was not approaching the Hunter's Association because I was in need of money to buy another piece of magical equipment. Honestly, I didn't understand the Chinese obsession with getting as many equipment and gear as possible. Well, I did hear that normal Chinese people tended to place a lot of emphasis on material possessions, and the equipment you wore was a sign of wealth and an indicator of status.
From the words of Cloww (Mad Cat) himself, Chinese consumers put more emphasis on social value brands, especially when compared to consumers from other countries. They often show off material possessions and brand names to establish their social identity or status. Luxury goods are an indicator of how one might rise over other social groups or to find common ground with peers of the same social status.
