Chapter 116

Zhao Chi thought for a moment and revealed a portion of even more stimulating thoughts.

Gu Qing was stunned by what she heard.

She hadn't expected that one could play like this?

Tang Ruan looked at Gu Qing curiously.

Gu Qing's cheeks were still bright red, but it was completely different from the embarrassed red from just a moment ago.

It was a flush of excitement and anticipation.

How did Sister Gu become like this?

Tang Ruan didn't disturb Gu Qing; she knew Gu Qing and Zhao Chi were communicating in their hearts.

They were indeed communicating.

Gu Qing felt much better after hearing those most private thoughts of Zhao Chi as a man.

Compared to Zhao Chi's, her own little thoughts were simply childish to the point of being cute.

Her embarrassment vanished.

At the same time, she felt a trace of gratitude toward Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi had shared such thoughts just to make her feel better.

He had traded his own embarrassment for Gu Qing's lack of embarrassment.

Gu Qing understood, and she appreciated it.

On the other hand.

Although she had become the object of Zhao Chi's inner fantasies, she was exceptionally happy.

This was ironclad proof of Zhao Chi's feelings for her.

However, she was still very puzzled.

Gu Qing: [My lord, since you want me so much, why is your favorability toward me only level 1?]

Zhao Chi: [I've always wanted to ask, is this favorability that important?]

Gu Qing: [It's not important, but it's proof, the basis for proving feelings.]

Zhao Chi: [Feelings are accumulated; they will be more solid after a longer time.]

Gu Qing: [Oh, so that's what you think? I understand. I can wait; I can wait for you for a lifetime.]

Zhao Chi: [It won't take that long.]

Gu Qing: [However, I still have a question. I don't know if it's appropriate to ask?]

Zhao Chi: [Feel free to ask.]

Gu Qing: [It's... can that thing really be eaten? Why do you keep thinking about letting me eat it?]

Zhao Chi: [...Let's talk about something else. I think I can control your hands now.]

Gu Qing's hands swung back and forth.

Her ten fingers were also constantly curling and spreading.

The next moment, Zhao Chi detached from Gu Qing and appeared beside her.

Gu Qing smiled: "My lord, your thoughts just now really shocked me. There was a lot of knowledge I hadn't been exposed to before. Although some of it is a bit strange, I need to go and think about it carefully. Let Tang Ruan accompany you."

Zhao Chi said awkwardly: "Alright, you don't have to take it too seriously; some of it was just pure random thinking."

Gu Qing sighed: "Your thoughts are really rich. I didn't expect that the pair in front of me could be used that way... No, I need to go and digest this knowledge."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Go ahead, but you must know that those were just my shameful inner thoughts."

Gu Qing said gratefully: "I understand. Thank you for being willing to share them with me; I'm very happy."

After speaking, her eyes couldn't help but drift toward Zhao Chi's lower body.

"Tang Ruan, take care of my lord."

"Okay, leave it to me."

After Gu Qing left covering her face, Tang Ruan became even more curious.

Zhao Chi said: "Is there anything uncomfortable about your body? If not, let's continue."

Tang Ruan shook her head: "No, come on in."

This time, Zhao Chi was familiar with the process.

He entered Tang Ruan's body again.

During these 10 minutes, Zhao Chi could control Tang Ruan's two arms and could even take a few stumbling steps.

By the next 10 minutes, Zhao Chi could already use Tang Ruan's body to speak, run, jump, and even throw punches.

He was becoming more and more familiar with Tang Ruan's body.

Basic daily movements and combat movements were no longer a problem.

Until another 10 minutes passed.

Zhao Chi controlled Tang Ruan's body as naturally as if he were controlling his own.

The system also sent a notification:

[You have become the driver of the "Tang Ruan Body"; both parties have shared talents and skills.]

Zhao Chi clicked to view it immediately.

[Name] Tang Ruan, 18 years old

[Appearance] 7 (Beautiful)

[Figure] 86E, 54, 88

[Personality] Obedient, hardworking

[Loyalty] 8 (Devoted)

[Command] 10+20

[Martial Arts] 20+10

[Spiritual Pressure] 10+10

[Governance] 10+10

[Physique] 8 (Outstanding)

[Strength] 7 (Extraordinary)

[Agility] 6 (Commendable)

[Intelligence] 5 (Just right)

[Enhancement] Defense +80%, Life +80%

[Spiritual Arts] Provocation, Encouragement

[Skills] Blade Arts 10, Shield Arts 10

[Modification] Soft Body, Super-speed Self-healing

[Talent] Fearless, Female Scholar, [Transfer Flower Grafting Jade]

Tang Ruan's own information hadn't changed.

Including age, appearance, figure, basic attributes, etc., they were all Tang Ruan's own.

But the hero skills had stacked.

Zhao Chi and Tang Ruan were both primary heroes, each having only 50 hero skill points, but now it had become 100 points.

And the enhancements had also been shared. Zhao Chi's 10 points of life enhancement were already reflected in Tang Ruan's attributes.

The spiritual arts had also stacked, and both sides could use them.

Blade Arts and Shield Arts were Zhao Chi's skills, and now Tang Ruan could also exert these effects.

Zhao Chi's talents had also been shared.

He specifically asked Tang Ruan.

[Tang Ruan, look at our current talents; how many are there?]

[Mm... two, there's Fearless and Female Scholar.]

[Just two?]

[Yes, are you asking about Super-speed Self-healing? That's in the modification column.]

Zhao Chi wanted to verify if Tang Ruan could see [Transfer Flower Grafting Jade].

But Tang Ruan still couldn't see this talent.

After all, it was a hidden talent.

The Body Driving Technique was so powerful, yet it was only a primary dark-type spiritual art.

Based on the current situation.

It could completely control the other party's body.

Including the five senses, movements, voice, and a series of other things.

Roughly speaking, it was to completely occupy the other party's body, similar to changing souls.

Besides controlling the body, it could also share one's own talents and enhancements.

Allowing the two people's abilities to stack.

Eventually becoming a very strong individual.

However, the basic attributes didn't change.

Whether driving Gu Qing or Tang Ruan, the basic attributes were their own body data.

Overall, this skill was very useful for people whose own strength was weak but whose subordinates were strong.

But...

There was another prerequisite.

That was that the other party must trust you completely and let down their guard entirely.

So this was a dark-type spiritual art, used to control: skeletons, zombies, puppets, stone statues, and other mindless creatures.

Controlling creatures with thoughts was difficult.

The hardest part was that it required complete trust.

What if there was no trust?

Zhao Chi didn't know for the moment; he could ask Li Li Ruanyu when she arrived later.

Anyway, the Body Driving Technique was very common; many lords of races like skeletons or other undead races knew it.

Relevant professional courses would also teach it.

It wasn't a secret skill.

However, Zhao Chi could now see relevant data through this skill.

[Body Driving Technique]

[Driver] Zhao Chi

[Target Body] Tang Ruan

[Body Matching] 100%

[Target Cooperation] 100%

[Current Control] 67%

Tang Ruan indeed trusted Zhao Chi very much, with 100% cooperation.

And the body matching had also reached 100%; this had nothing to do with gender, but with race.

Although Tang Ruan and the others were Taoyuan humans, they were basically not much different from ordinary humans and could have 100% matching with Zhao Chi.

But Zhao Chi had some doubts about this.

Even if the Taoyuan humans were close to humans, there were still many differences.

If the matching was 99%, Zhao Chi could understand.

But now it had become 100% directly; it seemed this data wasn't right?

Zhao Chi couldn't figure it out.

Then he wouldn't think about it.

Anyway, it wasn't important.

Zhao Chi now felt that controlling Tang Ruan's body was already very smooth, but after all, it wasn't his own body, and he wasn't fully familiar with it yet.

For the time being, there was only 67% control.

Seeing this value, Zhao Chi was a bit surprised.

He had thought it was at least 90% by now, since he didn't feel any obstacles and it was no different from controlling his own body.

It turned out there was still room for improvement.

Now it was just a matter of time; he wondered what it would feel like when the control reached 85% or even 90%.

Zhao Chi sat on the bed, staring at Tang Ruan and thinking.

Tang Ruan thought he was in a daze.

Because Tang Ruan also often went into a daze.

Tang Ruan didn't disturb him and sat quietly to the side.

Just as Zhao Chi was thinking, the system sent a notification.

He opened it and heard it was Li Li Ruanyu.

[Zhao Chi, I've arrived at the exchange; what do you need? "Swan Mushroom Serum" and "Moon Gel," right?]

Zhao Chi: [Yes, thank you, Instructor Li. How much is it?]

Li Li Ruanyu: [A portion of Swan Mushroom Serum is 6 silver coins, and a portion of Moon Gel is 29 silver coins. One portion is enough for you to clear a large box of spider silk. These are the tax-included prices.]

Zhao Chi: [Bring me two portions.]

Li Li Ruanyu: [Okay, do you need any other materials?]

Zhao Chi: [Help me bring some "Cotton Silk" and "No-Return Grass Juice," 30 portions of each.]

Li Li Ruanyu: [Are you trying to improve stockings? No-Return Grass Juice is very expensive, you know that, right?]

Li Li Ruanyu was also a professional tailor and knew a lot about such general fashion and materials.

Zhao Chi also knew it was expensive, but these were necessary rare materials, so he had to buy them even if they were expensive.

Zhao Chi: [Yes, help me buy them.]

Li Li Ruanyu: [Alright, no problem. When you improve the stockings, be careful not to cut corners. You haven't forgotten the material ratio and steps for these silk products, have you? I taught them in class.]

After all, she was an instructor, and she started nagging again.

Zhao Chi: [I haven't forgotten. You are also my sewing instructor; even if I forgot other instructors' subjects, I couldn't forget yours.]

Li Li Ruanyu: [Haha, that's good. What else do you need? Female fashion blueprints, right? There are stocking fashion blueprints, but the seller is selling them quite expensively this time; it's 8 gold coins including tax. Do you want to wait?]

This price was indeed quite expensive.

Zhao Chi thought for a moment; expensive was expensive, it wasn't outrageously so.

Zhao Chi: [It's fine, buy it.]

Li Li Ruanyu: [Okay, I got a list of female fashion blueprints; I'll send it to you to see.]

Zhao Chi: [That's great, thank you, Instructor Li.]

Li Li Ruanyu: [No problem.]

Soon, the list was sent over.

There weren't many types of fashion blueprints.

After all, this was just a town-level exchange, and supplies were scarce.

The cheapest one was that stocking fashion blueprint.

The others were not bad, but they were too expensive; even if Zhao Chi wanted to buy them, he didn't have the money now.

Zhao Chi: [Instructor Li, I don't have anything else I want to buy. Thank you.]

Li Li Ruanyu: [You're welcome. Let me check the price... including tax and service fees, it's a total of 1698.73 silver coins. Shall I confirm?]

This amount was not small.

It was close to 17 gold coins.

But even if it was expensive, Zhao Chi had to buy it.

If he succeeded, he could sell the silk produced by Gu Qing for money.

However, the demand for spider silk in the market wasn't high, and it couldn't fetch a good price.

But if he wove them into stocking fashion, he could sell them for several times, dozens of times, or even hundreds of times the price.

If the spider silk could indeed improve performance, the price would be even higher.

Selling primary fashion was a very common way to make money and wouldn't attract attention.

The quality of fashion varied.

The quality of raw materials also varied.

Together, this would cause the fashion's attributes to fluctuate within a range.

The performance of spider silk was so good that even if Zhao Chi's sewing level was low now, he could rely on the materials to improve the quality.
