Chapter 1631

"Besides, you're so young and already at the Master level—your future really is limitless."

Li Ruanyu regained some confidence.

In truth, she herself was rich in experience and mature at heart; she could have worked it out on her own without Zhao Chi comforting her.

But Zhao Chi's words were like a boost, letting her pull herself together quickly.

"Um… sis, exactly how old are you? Can you tell me?"

"Huh? Why are you asking me this?" Li Ruanyu hesitated a little, but she still said softly: "I'm twenty-eight, eight years older than you. Quite a lot older, right?"

"Not at all, just eight years. My second sister-in-law is thirteen years older than my second brother. One of my third aunts is ten years older than my third uncle, and I even have a third aunt who's an elf, already over two hundred sixty, but she's still very young. Age really isn't an issue."

"Huh?"

Li Ruanyu hadn't expected that every single example Zhao Chi gave was about couples.

Still, she understood what Zhao Chi was trying to express.

"Hehe~ I get it now."

Zhao Chi didn't feel at all that there was anything wrong with his words; seeing Li Ruanyu smile meant his words had worked.

Li Ruanyu sighed softly: "That senior won't see anyone?"

Zhao Chi knew Li Ruanyu wanted to meet that senior, but how could that be possible?

"Right, he won't see anyone, and he won't even let me reveal his existence, so sis, you have to help me keep it secret."

"Of course!"

Li Ruanyu stood up at once.

"Don't worry, I won't say a single word to anyone outside, and if anything comes up in the future you can just push it all onto me! I'll help you keep it secret together!"

Very good.

The effect Gu Qing described had been achieved.

Li Ruanyu truly cherished Zhao Chi's secret.

And it went even more smoothly than Gu Qing had predicted; Li Ruanyu actually spoke up on her own before Zhao Chi could even deliver the lines Gu Qing Gang had prepared for him.

That's perfect, then.

With Li Ruanyu's thick thigh clasped in his arms, all of Zhao Chi's future actions would truly be much more convenient.

And right now she was the one actively stretching her leg out for him to hold.

Li Ruanyu walked over: "Zhao Chi, what should we call that senior? Just going 'senior, senior' all the time—isn't that a bit off? Is there some title we can use?"

"Um… let's call him Senior Zhang."

Zhao Chi casually picked a very common surname; after all, Zhang was one of the major surnames in Snowfield City.

"Senior Zhang?"

"Right."

"Got it…"

Li Ruanyu went back to look at those fashion outfits, picking them up one by one to examine, looking as she touched, touching as she thought.

By all rights, Zhao Chi should have taken his leave.

But the important matter hadn't been asked yet.

Carefree Spring… he'd bring it up next time.

But the question about the fashion outfits had to be asked.

"Sis, why are the attributes on the fashion outfits you gave me all so one-sided? That shouldn't be the outfit's own attributes, right? Were they altered afterward?"

Li Ruanyu was practically buried in the fashion outfits already.

Though it wasn't that exaggerated, her arms really were full of them.

Hearing Zhao Chi's question, she nodded and said: "Right, those attributes were all swapped in afterward. After all, if the attributes are too scattered it's hard to concentrate advantages in one area; if you concentrate the attributes, you can use them in a targeted way."

"How do you do it?"

"You can use a Mystic Woman's Ruler fragment. I happen to have one I've been keeping, no use for it at the moment. If you need it, I'll give it to you."

So saying, Li Ruanyu pulled out a broken piece of wood and handed it over.

【You have obtained item: Mystic Woman's Ruler Fragment ×1】

(Mystic Woman's Ruler Fragment: Can reset an equipment piece's default main attribute and improved attributes)

Mystic Woman's Ruler?

Mystic Woman again.

What's the connection with the Mystic Woman Battle Armor?

Is it the same Mystic Woman?

Zhao Chi wasn't sure.

He lowered his head to look at the fragment in his hand.

The top and bottom surfaces were very smooth, but the edges were a bit prickly.

A bit similar to the Fuxi Zither fragment, but this Mystic Woman's Ruler fragment was lighter in color.

"Sis, what does resetting attributes mean? Is it random?"

"It is random, and it isn't random. Some options will appear randomly, like improvement options. But you can freely choose among the options—however, the selectable range for each equipment piece is fixed."

"Could you be a bit more specific?"

Li Ruanyu asked: "What, you've taken an interest in tailoring too?"

Zhao Chi nodded: "After all, I'm your student; I hear you talk about tailoring all the time."

Li Ruanyu laughed: "Really? Looks like I've been subtly influencing you after all. If you have questions in this area, just ask me. I know you definitely can't ask that Senior Zhang, right?"

"Right, I can't just see Senior Zhang whenever I want either—it's only when he looks for me that I can see him."
