"The data growth is so low? What's going on..."
In Hang City, inside a JK uniform store called Plaid Story, the owner, Ma Shiduo, frowned, constantly monitoring the real-time data of the store's backend.
Piles of cigarette butts were accumulating in the ashtray, growing higher and his frown deepening along with them.
Plaid Story, true to its name, specialized in plaid skirts within the JK uniform category.
"Plaid skirts" are one of the most iconic items in JK uniforms.
To differentiate from the common pleated skirts sold on the market, enthusiasts and merchants have clear regulations on the fabric and pattern of plaid skirts, with the most important criteria being "stiffness."
A good set of pleats must be "sharp and stiff"; a pleated skirt that stays crisp without fanning out is considered a quality uniform skirt.
Ma Shiduo, a Neon exchange student with a deep passion for the second dimension, was quite knowledgeable about the JK uniform market.
