Chapter 125: Chapter 125
Crossing the Black Bridge and fully leaving the jurisdiction of the Divine Skin Mansion,
Manager Aiji wanted to say something,
but after glancing at Qian Bosen, he swallowed the words in his mouth, patted Yi Chen heavily on the shoulder, adjusted the tilt of his top hat, and returned alone to the Gentleman Hall.
Qian Bosen then led Yi Chen to a nearby elevator, heading to the lower street district, naturally aiming for the tailor shop.
“Professor, are these skins to be used for upgrading clothes?”
“Since you already have a suitable pair of Casting Gloves, there’s no need to create fabric items.
You haven’t upgraded your clothes since you entered the city, which involves adding extra Gentleman’s Skin to increase the ‘Skin Content’ of the clothing.
Moreover, your clothes were severely damaged in this incident and require some skin for complete repair.”
Since the topic came up, Yi Chen took the opportunity to ask Professor Qian Bosen some questions about ‘clothing.’
Skin content of 30% to 50% is defined as skin carrying the aura of the old world.
Skin content of 15% to 30% is defined as the most ordinary Gentleman’s Skin.
Skin with less than 15% content performs very poorly and is often packaged and sent to Organization-affiliated tailor shops to be used as “scraps.”
Yi Chen nodded and then steered the conversation back to clothing:
“I see! Another question, since the ‘maximum skin content’ of gentleman’s clothes varies from person to person.
Could there possibly exist a powerful human who can completely control the Skin, perfectly adapt to the Gentleman’s Skin, and wear clothes with 100% skin content… Wait, no!”
At this point, Yi Chen suddenly realized something,
Qian Bosen, smiling, took over the conversation, “Indeed, such a human exists… and that is the First Gentleman himself.”
By this time, Yi Chen’s expression had changed,
He stared at the ‘First Gentleman’s Skin’ enclosed in the black box, felt the texture of the skin in the Clothing Room, and recalling the state of the First Gentleman, he couldn’t help but shudder.
“If I keep using the First Gentleman’s Skin to supplement the clothing, and one day reach 100% content and I can fully control it, then…”
At this point, Qian Bosen stopped.
“I was just discussing this issue privately with manager Aiji, you might really have this potential.
You must have felt it too, this time your walk in the Divine Skin Mansion attracted more scrutiny and spying than last time; the Clergy’s attention on you has noticeably increased.
And the First Gentleman giving you a 15×15cm patch of skin wasn’t because he felt sorry for the damage to your body, but because you were chosen.”
Such words made Yi Chen stunned, his skin tingled and goosebumps covered his body.
Qian Bosen gently patted his shoulder, comforting:
“Don’t be nervous, it just means you were ‘selected’ as a candidate.
There are at least ten gentlemen in all of Zion who have been chosen… Most of them have already surpassed the Limit of Man; if a choice has to be made, they are the primary considerations.
Moreover, if it really comes to that and you are confirmed by the Divine Skin Mansion as the best candidate, I, as your first tutor, will do everything in my power to ensure your ‘right of choice.’
If you do not wish to become the First Gentleman, I can assure you a way out of Zion.
So don’t worry too much about the issue with the skin, it shouldn’t affect your personal development… Make full use of the resources at hand, follow the most suitable path forward, and reach higher levels.
At this stage, increasing your skin content will only benefit you, and when it reaches its maximum, you might even be able to awaken the ancient powers within it to achieve a deeper combination and greatly improve your disease curing efficiency.”
“Thank you, Professor Qian Bosen.”
When the two returned to the doorway of the Clothing Room, Mr. Ivan was surprisingly at work.
After about an hour of waiting, a familiar figure emerged.
“William, what a coincidence!”
It was Jin, her clothes completely ruined in the church incident and currently she had Mr. Ivan make the same patterned shirt.
“Jin, the skin in your clothes is?”
