Chapter 288: Training Gu Qing

The last item was the stockings made by Zhao Chi.

He alone handled the crafting and improvements, so output was low.

The main reason was the difficulty. If he let those seamstresses make them, the failure rate was high. Even when they succeeded, quality was hard to guarantee.

Although finished stockings could be bought from outside, those were made of silk and offered no material bonus.

So for now, Zhao Chi had to make them from start to finish himself.

To boost efficiency, he skipped or skimped on some steps, which did shave over an hour off the crafting time.

The only catch was that the quality was all rough-quality items.

Every stat was only 75% of standard.

But that was fine.

After all, these were for sale, so selling the inferior ones was perfectly acceptable.

Poor quality wouldn't draw too much attention either.

Keeping a low profile was king right now.

He closed the system and got out of bed.

Today's work was the same as usual.

But instead of making stockings, Zhao Chi called Gu Qing into the room.

"What is it, my lord? What do you need?"

Zhao Chi nodded. "I want to get familiar with your body sooner. If possible, I'll take you out with me."

Gu Qing was a little slow to react.

"Take me out? Where?"

"To the Greater World."

"…The Greater World? What! You're taking me out? Really?"

Gu Qing's voice rose by three notches.

It seemed she was very willing.

"Keep your voice down. Don't spread the word."

"Ah!" Gu Qing quickly covered her mouth, then whispered, "I understand."

Zhao Chi nodded. "I want to handle some matters over there, but my identity isn't exactly free. If they find out, it'll be very troublesome for me. So I want to pilot you and go take care of it."

"That's wonderful, my lord, but… won't you be punished?"

Though excited, Gu Qing hadn't forgotten the rules and carefully reminded Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi smiled slightly. "No, but you just mustn't spread the word."

Gu Qing was overjoyed. She lowered her voice: "This is great! I finally get to go see your home!"

Zhao Chi shook his head. "My home over there is very small, not as nice as here."

"Hehe, that doesn't matter. My lord, stop talking, hurry up and come in. The sooner you get familiar with my body, the sooner we can go out."

"Alright, then relax your mind. I'm coming in."

Light flared.

Zhao Chi flew into Gu Qing's body.

He had to admit, being inside Gu Qing was truly comfortable—extraordinarily warm and soft.

【Is it really that comfortable? My lord, don't just focus on how good it feels—hurry up and train, get familiar with my body quickly】

【…Uh, huh!?】

The sigh he'd just felt in his heart had been heard by Gu Qing.

In this state, it was indeed very hard to control one's inner thoughts.

This further proved that one had to find someone they absolutely trusted to pilot.

To get familiar with the body, he couldn't just stay inside the room.

He had to get used to running, dodging, and fighting.

Zhao Chi controlled Gu Qing and staggered out of the room.

Just like a toddler just learning to walk.

But fortunately, both of them could control the body. Whenever Zhao Chi was about to lose balance, Gu Qing would quickly take over, stabilize the body, and then hand control back to Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi carefully felt every part of her body, and Gu Qing cooperated with all her heart.

One morning passed.
