Chapter 262

The body piloting technique is this strong, yet it's only a beginner dark-element spiritual technique.

Based on what he sees now.

It can completely control the other person's body.

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

Roughly speaking, it's fully occupying the other person's body, similar to swapping souls.

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

Letting two people's abilities stack.

Ultimately becoming a very powerful individual.

But the base attributes haven't changed.

Whether piloting Gu Qing or Tang Ruan, the base attributes are still their own body's data.

All in all, this skill is very useful for someone whose own strength is weak but whose subordinate is strong.

But...

There's one more prerequisite.

The other party must completely trust, completely let down their guard.

So this is a dark-element spiritual technique, used to control: skeletons, zombies, puppets, stone statues, and other mindless creatures.

Controlling creatures with minds is very difficult.

The hardest part is still that one point — complete trust is required.

What if they don't trust?

Zhao Chi doesn't know for now; once Li Ruanyu arrives later, he can ask her.

In any case, the body piloting technique is very common; many races' lords who are skeletons or other undead races all know it.

The related specialized course will also cover it.

It's not a secret skill.

But now Zhao Chi can see the related data through this skill.

【Body Piloting Technique】

【Pilot】 Zhao Chi

【Target Body】 Tang Ruan

【Body Match】 100%

【Target Cooperation】 100%

【Current Control】 67%

Tang Ruan really does trust Zhao Chi very much, with 100% cooperation.

And the body match also reached 100%; this has nothing to do with male or female, it has to do with race.

Although Tang Ruan and the others are Taoyuan humans, they're basically not much different from ordinary humans, so they can also have a 100% match with Zhao Chi.

But Zhao Chi has some questions about this.

No matter how close Taoyuan humans are to humans, there are still quite a few differences.

If the match were 99%, Zhao Chi could understand.

But now it's directly become 100% — doesn't this data seem wrong?

Zhao Chi can't figure it out.

Then he won't think about it.

It's not important anyway.

Zhao Chi now feels that controlling Tang Ruan's body is already very smooth, but after all it's not his own body, he hasn't fully familiarized himself with it yet.

For now there's only 67% control.

Seeing this number, Zhao Chi is a bit surprised.

He thought it was at least 90% by now; after all, he doesn't feel any obstruction, and it's basically no different from controlling his own body.

Turns out there's still room for improvement.

Now it just takes time; when control reaches 85%, or even 90%, he wonders what it will feel like.

Zhao Chi sits on the bed, staring at Tang Ruan in thought.

Tang Ruan thinks he's spacing out.

Because Tang Ruan also often spaces out.

Tang Ruan doesn't disturb him, sitting quietly beside him.

Zhao Chi is thinking when the system delivers a notification.

He opens it — it's Li Ruanyu.

【Zhao Chi, I've arrived at the trading post. What do you need? "Swan Mushroom Paste" and "Moon Gel," right?】

Zhao Chi 【Right, thanks Instructor Li. How much for everything?】

Li Ruanyu 【Swan Mushroom Paste is 6 silver per portion, Moon Gel is 29 silver per portion. One portion of each is enough to clear a whole big box of spider silk. These prices already include tax.】

Zhao Chi 【Get me two portions of each】

Li Ruanyu 【Okay, any other materials you need?】

Zhao Chi 【Get me some "Cotton Silk" and "No-Return Grass Juice," 30 portions of each.】

Li Ruanyu 【Are you trying to improve stockings? No-Return Grass Juice is really expensive, you know that, right?】

Li Ruanyu is also a professional tailor; she knows this kind of common fashion and materials very well.

Zhao Chi also knows it's expensive, but this is a rare material he must use — expensive or not, he has to buy it.

Zhao Chi: "Yes, help me buy it."

Li Ruanyu: "Alright, no problem. When you're improving the stockings, don't cut corners. You haven't forgotten the material ratios and steps for this kind of silk fabric, right? I covered them all in class."

After all, she was the instructor, so she started nagging again.

Zhao Chi: "I haven't forgotten. You're my Fengren Sect instructor — even if I forgot other instructors' subjects, I couldn't possibly forget yours."

Li Ruanyu: "Haha, good. Anything else? The women's fashion blueprints, right? There are stocking fashion blueprints, but this seller's is pricier — with tax it's 8 gold coins. Want to wait?"

That price really was rather expensive.

Zhao Chi thought it over — expensive is expensive, but it wasn't outrageously so.

Zhao Chi: "It's fine, go ahead and buy it."

Li Ruanyu: "Alright, I've got a women's fashion blueprint list here, sending it over for you to look at."

Zhao Chi: "That's perfect, thank you, Instructor Li."

Li Ruanyu: "No problem."

Soon, the list arrived.

There weren't many types of fashion blueprints.

After all, this was only a town-level exchange, where supplies of all kinds were scarce.

The cheapest one was that stocking fashion blueprint.

The others were decent too, but they were too expensive — even if Zhao Chi was willing to buy them, he didn't have the money right now.

Zhao Chi: "Instructor Li, I don't need anything else. Thanks."

Li Ruanyu: "You're welcome. Let me check the price… tax and service fee included, it's 1698.73 silver coins total. Confirm one more time?"

That was quite a sum.

It was close to 17 gold coins already.

But no matter the price, Zhao Chi had to buy it.

If it worked, he could sell silk produced by Gu Qing for money.

However, the market demand for spider silk wasn't high, so it couldn't fetch much of a price.

But if he wove them into stocking fashion garments, the resale price could multiply several times, dozens of times, even hundreds of times over.

If spider silk really could boost performance, the price would climb even higher.

Selling beginner fashion garments was a very common way to make money and wouldn't draw attention.

The quality of fashion garments varied.

The quality of raw materials also varied.

Under their combined effect, a garment's attributes would fluctuate within a range.

Spider silk's performance was so good that even though Zhao Chi's Fengren Sect level was low right now, he could still rely on the material to raise the quality.
