Chapter 116: Chapter 115: Training Gu Qing
Finally, there were the Silk Stockings made by Zhao Chi.
He handled both the production and Improvement by himself, so the output was low.
This was mainly because it was very difficult. If he let the female Tailors do it, the failure rate would be quite high. Even if they succeeded, the Quality would be hard to guarantee.
Although he could buy finished Silk Stocking Fashion from outside, that fashion was made of Silk Material and lacked any Material Bonus.
So for now, Zhao Chi had to make them from scratch all by himself.
To improve Efficiency, he skipped or rushed some steps, which did indeed shorten the production Time by over an hour.
However, they were all of Crude Quality.
All their Attributes were only 75% of the standard.
But this was also a good thing.
After all, these were the models for sale; selling the inferior ones was fine.
Poor Quality wouldnât attract too much attention.
Keeping a low profile was key right now.
He closed the system and got out of bed.
Todayâs work was the same as always.
But Zhao Chi didnât go to make Silk Stockings. Instead, he called Gu Qing into the room.
"M-my Lord? Is there something you need?"
Zhao Chi nodded. "I want to familiarize myself with your Body sooner. If possible, Iâll take you out."
Gu Qing was a little slow to react.
"Take me out? Where to?"
"To the Great World."
"...The Great World? What! Youâre going to take me out? Really?"
Gu Qingâs voice rose a few notches.
It seemed she was very willing.
"Quiet down. Donât draw attention."
"Ah!" Gu Qing quickly covered her mouth, then whispered, "I understand."
Zhao Chi nodded. "I want to get some things done over there, but my Identity isnât very flexible. It would be a lot of trouble if I were discovered, so I want to drive you to do it."
"Thatâs wonderful, my Lord, but... wonât you be punished?"
Although Gu Qing was excited, she hadnât forgotten the rules and carefully reminded Zhao Chi.
Zhao Chi smiled faintly. "No, I wonât. But you have to keep quiet about it."
Gu Qing was overjoyed. She lowered her voice. "Thatâs great! I can finally go see your home."
Zhao Chi shook his head. "My home over there is very small, not as nice as this place."
"Hehe, thatâs okay. My Lord, donât say another word. Come on in. The sooner you get used to my Body, the sooner we can go out."
"Alright. Relax your mind. Iâm coming in."
A flash of light shone.
Zhao Chi flew into Gu Qingâs Body.
He had to admit, it was really comfortable inside Gu Qingâs Body, unusually warm and soft.
âIs it really that comfortable? My Lord, donât just enjoy the comfort. Hurry up and practice. Get used to my Body!â
â...Er, huh!?â
Gu Qing had heard his inner thoughts.
In this State, it was indeed hard to control oneâs inner thoughts.
This just went to show that one had to find someone with absolute mutual trust to pilot.
To get familiar with the Body, he couldnât just stay in the room.
He had to get used to running, Evasion, and combat.
Zhao Chi controlled Gu Qing, stumbling and swaying as he walked out of the house.
Just like a toddler learning to walk.
But thankfully, they could both control the Body. Whenever Zhao Chi was about to lose his balance, Gu Qing would quickly take over, stabilize the Body, and then hand control back to him.
Zhao Chi seriously focused on every part of her Body, and Gu Qing cooperated with all her heart.
The morning passed.
Zhao Chiâs control over her Body reached 77%.
At this level, he could already control it quite smoothly.
The default Duration of the Body Driving Technique was 10 minutes.
With the Bonus from their combined 40 points in the Spiritual Pressure Attribute, it could last an extra 4 minutes.
But even a Duration of 14 minutes was still too short.
Fortunately, Zhao Chi had figured out a method.
It was Simple.
He just had to cast the Skill again inside Gu Qingâs Body before it ended.
This would reset the driving Time.
This way, he could avoid the awkward scenario of emerging naked every 14 minutes.
Before lunch, Zhao Chiâs control over her finally broke through 80%.
Now, controlling Gu Qing was as easy and natural as controlling his own Body.
Zhao Chi was still practicing when Gu Qing suddenly interrupted him.
âMy Lord, can you feel it?â
âFeel what?â
âDonât you feel... pent up?â
â...A little. I thought it was me.â
âYouâre in my Body. You donât have a body, so how could it be your feeling?â
âAlright then...â
âIâm going to excrete some silk. I havenât done it all morning, so there must be a lot. We can practice again in a bit.â
âWait until I get out before you do it.â
âThe Time isnât up yet. You canât get out, can you?â
âCanât you just wait a little?â
âI canât hold it in anymore.â
â...Fine, letâs go.â
Gu Qing walked into the Lordâs House and put down the wooden basin.
Then she squatted over it.
Excreting silk was a familiar and easy task for Gu Qing.
But for Zhao Chi, it still felt very novel.
He originally thought he would be able to see the details of the silk production.
As it turned out, his view was blocked by two soft Great Perfections, and he couldnât even see Gu Qingâs toes.
He could only hear the sound of the Silk Threads sticking to the basin.
A few dozen seconds later, Gu Qing shifted her squat slightly, then stood up.
Only then did Zhao Chi see a basin half-full of yellow Spider Silk.
It was quite a lot.
This large batch of silk had a very strong Color.
Although it didnât have a smell, he would need to buy some dye.
He could dye it black or skin-colored.
Zhao Chi didnât come out during lunch either.
He controlled Gu Qingâs Body and ate voraciously.
He was treating Gu Qingâs Body as if it were his own.
Gu Qing giggled and chatted with Zhao Chi, not minding in the slightest.
âHeehee, of course I donât mind. With you helping me control my Body, I can just relax comfortably. Besides, being in the same Body as you puts me in a great Mood.â
âAlright, then stay a while longer. I need to practice this afternoon too.â
âOkay~ But you have to chat with me.â
âNo problem.â
PM.
His control over Gu Qingâs Body broke through 85%.
It seemed that the higher it got, the harder it was to improve his control.
Reaching 100% probably wasnât something he could achieve in a day or two.
Zhao Chi didnât mind. 85% control was more than enough.
However, there was still one difficult aspect of control that he hadnât quite mastered.
That was, when running at high speed and then turning or changing direction, her round and full chest would always be thrown wide.
The inertia was a bit much.
It seriously affected her Bodyâs balance.
âGu Qing, this... how do you solve this?â
âThis can be solved? Iâve always been like this.â
âIs it always hard to control your balance?â
âI think itâs fine. My Lord, youâre probably just not used to it.â
â...Alright.â
âHehe, actually, you just need to secure them and itâll be fine. Iâll get it done in a bit, then you can try again.â
âOkay, but itâs about time. Letâs take a bath and go to sleep. After we recover to 100% State, weâll set out tonight.â
âAh? Tonight?â
Gu Qing was pleasantly surprised.
âYes, we donât have much Time, so we leave tonight. The main thing tonight is to check out the black market. If that doesnât work out, Iâll have to make adjustments on the fly.â
âThatâs great! Letâs hurry and take a bath!â
âWait for me to get out!â
âAiya~ Itâs fine. Iâll soak first. When the Time is up, youâll just appear directly in the hot spring. Itâll even save you the trouble of undressing.â
â...That makes sense.â
