[Clothing Room]
Mr. Ivan first cut out 10% of the raw material for clothing repair, and used the remaining materials to increase the “Skin Content.”
He was also very surprised that the First Gentleman would offer such a large piece of skin. However, since Qian Bosen didn’t say much, as a tailor, his job was simply to do his work well.
The process was not complicated; one only needed to attach the processed “Gentleman’s Skin” to the corresponding parts of the clothing, and the skin would rge with the clothing on its own.
Before the rging, Ivan raised several questions about the clothing.
“Do you feel any discomfort in the clothing during your daily life or while expelling illness, or do you think there is anything that needs to be improved from your own sensations?”
“No problems at all.”
“Hmm, your combat style hasn’t been completely settled yet, so it’s not too late to make detailed changes later.”
The completion of the clothing took half an hour.
The gentleman’s clothes on the mannequin looked no different on the outside,
but after experiencing the Twilight Clinic and the Church incident, Yi Chen, having been in contact with Old World elents several tis, could clearly feel a significant increase in the Old World essence being emitted from the clothing,
It felt more lively overall, more like so kind of living creature.
Gazing at the clothing,
he stepped slowly closer,
unbuttoned it,
and always felt as if there was a gaping abyss inside the clothing, ready to envelop and digest his body.
Yi Chen did not hesitate and promptly wore the gentleman’s clothes to experience the changes for himself.
The instant the fabric touched the skin, the connection at the muscular and neural levels also began synchronously,
As Yi Chen buttoned up the shirt, donned the waistcoat, and draped the coat over himself, the neural connections deepened continuously.
When he fastened the last button on his suit, the neural connection peaked, bringing an indescribably comfortable sense of near-perfect fit.
Different from the previous sensations of fabric against skin, this felt more like skin against skin.
It was like a group of people, who had always lived in a sterile environnt, were to cleanse their entire bodies with a natural cleansing agent and then hug and squeeze together, experiencing a wondrous feeling.
anwhile,
a series of images flashed through Yi Chen’s mind, fragnted and blurry,
but he could generally make out that the images presented a huge space filled with various hanging skins, each piece alive and being transported sowhere through a delivery system.
They were undergoing so special skin-grafting craft.
The flashing images disappeared quickly, allowing for little information to be gathered.
“It should be similar to the Fish Scale Abyss, as well as the muddy worlds with hanging sheep heads. These scenes might be related to the Origin of Skin.”
After a brief adjustnt period ca a sense of well-being.
Yi Chen, wrapped in the clothing, even felt he could easily fall asleep standing, as the clothes would help support his body.
In combat, the clothes’ self-adaptation would be even more rapid, coordinating with his body to perform smoother, difficult maneuvers, providing more effective defense, damping, and so on.
After inspecting every part of the body, Mr. Ivan asked softly:
“The ‘Skin Content’ now exceeds 20%. Do you feel any ntal discomfort? Or do you feel itching, stinging on the skin, or hear unsettling conscious whispers?”
“Not at all, I just saw so ancient images when putting on the clothes.”
“Your adaptability is better than I imagined. It’s normal to see images, as these skins are not products of our era.”
Taking advantage of the ti Mr. Ivan was checking the fit of the clothing, Yi Chen asked:
“A product of the Old World?
I haven’t read about an ‘Old World’ in the existing books… Does ‘Old World’ refer to so ancient era, or is it a real space in a region?”
“Do you, a new gentleman, want the answer to this question? It’s no problem to tell you— the ‘Old World’ does indeed exist, parallel to our world.”
“Parallel existence?”
“That’s correct. In the Grey Zone, there might be ‘Thresholds’ leading to the Old World… the deeper the Grey Zone, the more nurous and higher the level of these thresholds, with so even being called ‘Abysses.’
If you were to venture into one carelessly now, you would face certain death.
Consider this question after you’ve broken through the ‘Limit of Man.'”
Yi Chen noted a particular point in the conversation and imdiately asked a follow-up question:
“If there are channels in the Grey Zone that connect to the old world, and if the spread of the Pathological cannot be contained, with the entire world engulfed by the Grey Zone and the severity constantly deepening, increasing the number of channels…”
Ivan had just finished his examination, folded the chest cloth neatly, and gave Yi Chen’s chest a firm pat.
“Exactly, if that ti cos, the old world will completely replace our current world… All traces of our existence, everything, will be erased.”
“Hmm.”
When he walked out of the Clothing Room, Professor Qian Bosen also imdiately observed Yi Chen’s entire body.
After confirming that he could easily adapt to the current Skin Content of the clothing, he was no longer worried.
He made an appointnt with his old friend Ivan right away, planning to go to so neighboring unmarked shops for so strenuous entertainnt.
Naturally, Jin, who was left with Yi Chen, also walked together,
Jin tapped Yi Chen’s clothes up and down, her expression under the colorful mask full of repulsion.
“This feels so sticky. Are you really comfortable wearing this kind of clothing?”
“Very comfortable, there’s no discomfort at all,” Yi Chen didn’t really want to continue to talk about Skin, and imdiately changed the subject, “Jin, where’s your weapon? And what materials did you choose from the Gentleman’s Treasure Vault?”
“That’s a secret! You’ll know once my weapon is made… Our efficiency will definitely be much higher next ti we go out to kill enemies.
But since it’s quite a complex craft, even a Cesimani craftsman will need more than half a month.
I have no choice but to stay in the city and play for the ti being…”
As he said this, Jin quickly stepped in front of Yi Chen, puffing out his chest against Yi Chen’s.
The mask was almost touching Yi Chen’s face,
“Why don’t you move in and live with ? We could also explore the secrets of the flesh together. Plus, you could join
in going to Cesimani for training and actual combat.
This would maximize the acceleration of our growth~”
“I haven’t finished my courses at the academy yet and can’t apply to leave. Moreover, Instructor Beili said she can’t guide soone with a special body like mine,” Yi Chen steered the conversation away again,
“By the way, Jin! Are you interested in checking on the recent situation of a friend of mine? He’s the one I told you about before, the teammate who went to the Twilight Clinic with
to slay the Pathological Gentleman.”
“An old teammate? Sure, take
to see him.”
The place Yi Chen wanted to go was the Mariano family estate where Edmund resided. Using the reward from the mission, he intended to pay off the debt of the crow’s coal oil lamp in full.
Of course, the main reason was to see how Edmund’s arm was recovering.
Given that he now had the umbilical cord and, with the aid of “Little Grape,” could attempt special effective treatnt, plus with Jin, the “Body Weapon Master,” they might be able to completely solve the arm problem.
By asking patrolling gentlen, they easily learned the location of the Mariano family estate, where nurous family estates rooted in Zion are concentrated.
As soon as you see large estates arranged at equal intervals, you know you’ve found the right place.
The great gate of the Edmund family’s estate was imbued with a multitude of firearms and Feather elents,
The mont they approached the gate, a tail-coated butler proactively ca forward to warmly welco them.
“You must be Mr. William Behrens, right? I often hear Master Edmund speaking of you, and I’m very grateful for your help with the master in the ‘secret dicine incident.’
“Ah? It’s just mutual support among teammates, nothing much.”
This made Yi Chen sowhat embarrassed; he had never been to Edmund’s family estate before and didn’t expect that they would already recognize him.
“Is there sothing you wanted, Mr. William?”
“I ca to see how Edmund’s arm is recovering.”
“Thank you very much for your concern. The master’s arm is no longer a problem, and it has undergone significant changes compared to before… The old master even said that the experience of losing his arm was actually an opportunity for the master’s transformation.
However, the master hasn’t been ho recently.”
“Not at ho? It seems he hasn’t been at the academy either…” A few days ago, Yi Chen had proactively checked Edmund’s dormitory at the academy, but the dormitory supervisor told him that he hadn’t been at the school recently.
“An incident occurred at one of the weapon factories related to the family, and it was classified as a gentleman incident. The fully recovered master took on the matter the day before yesterday and personally went to handle it.”
“A Pathological incident?”
“I’m not clear about the specifics, but it’s very likely related to the Pathological.”
“Where is it? We might be able to help.”
