Chapter 304: Super-Elastic Stockings

In the wooden basin, the freshly produced spider silk was warm.

But its color was orange-yellow.

"Gu Qing, drink plenty of water when you get back."

"Oh, got it."

Zhao Chi poured the moon gel and swan mushroom slurry into the basin, added some water, and waited for the stickiness to dissipate.

After sending Gu Qing back, Zhao Chi slept for another hour.

When he woke up, he was full of energy.

After soaking in the hot spring to refresh the buff duration and returning to the small wooden cabin, it was already past midnight.

The spider silk in the basin had all spread out.

Thin filaments covered the surface of the basin one by one, and the orange-glowing threads now looked somewhat like gold.

Zhao Chi put them all into the system space.

Now that all the materials were ready, all that was left was to work hard on production.

He pushed the door open and went out.

He headed straight for the village.

The village road at midnight was very dark.

Occasionally there was some dog barking, but mostly it was dead silent.

Separated from Gu Qing's body, Zhao Chi felt a bit unaccustomed.

Without Gu Qing's constant muttering in his mind, it really felt a bit lonely.

And having lost that warm, soft, comfortable feeling, Zhao Chi suddenly felt a bit cold.

At the same time, he was surprised at how slowly he was running.

The gap between 7 points of Agility and 5 points was really too obvious.

And without the stockings to boost him, Zhao Chi felt even slower.

After more than ten minutes, Zhao Chi arrived before a large courtyard and knocked on the wooden door.

Knock, knock, knock. Knock, knock, knock.

It was quiet all around, so the sound was clearly audible.

"Who's there? It's the middle of the night, aren't you sleeping?"

A man's complaining voice came through.

"Fifth Brother, it's Zhao Chi."

Creak—

The wooden door opened, revealing a frowning man.

This was Zhao Chi's clan brother, Zhao Jing, fifth in line, also a lord, and the family's professional tailor.

Zhao Jing frowned and stared at Zhao Chi.

Then he said irritably, "What are you coming to my place for in the middle of the night?"

Zhao Chi smiled and said, "Don't you work 24 hours? I want to rent a sewing room."

Zhao Jing laughed in exasperation: "You don't sew at the tailor shop on your own territory, but come to the Great World to sew? Are you planning to sell products on the black market?"

Zhao Chi was startled and quickly said, "What are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense, be careful not to bring trouble to the family."

Zhao Jing, hearing this, also felt the words were a bit serious, and quickly looked left and right.

There was no one around.

"Alright, hurry up and come in! I'm reminding you not to do all sorts of shady things—that's what truly brings trouble to the family."

Zhao Jing led Zhao Chi into the courtyard and walked to the single-person sewing room beside it.

Inside was a sewing table, where clothes and fashion items could be made.

"How long do you want to rent it?"

"Let's rent it for one day first."

Zhao Jing scoffed: "Just 1 day? Do you think this is a hotel? You're not planning to use a Speed-Work Talisman, are you?"

Zhao Chi really felt like punching him.

Zhao Jing continued to snort:

"1 day costs 10 silver coins.
