Chapter 46: Ultra-Silky Stockings

Zhao Chi had not been idle lately.

It was not just about developing his territory.

He was also experimenting with that hidden talent, "Flower-Moving, Jade-Grafting."

Whenever he saw any information, he would click around randomly.

But no interface capable of transferring information had appeared again.

Based on experience.

It could only be triggered when he had a choice to make.

This was not too difficult.

Later, as the territory developed, he would gain technology points.

Among the technology points, all were technologies that required choosing a direction.

He reckoned he would be able to show his skills then.

Besides this.

He also discovered that "Flower-Moving, Jade-Grafting" was helpful for crafting as well.

There hadn't been room to utilize it before, but today he could truly give it a try.

He entered the tailor shop.

Feng Xiu and the others were sewing leather armor and were very surprised to see Zhao Chi.

"My lord, do you have any new arrangements?"

Zhao Chi smiled and said, "Don't mind me, I'm here to improve some fashion items."

As he spoke, he took out a pair of stockings and the materials needed for the improvement.

Feng Xiu asked, "My lord, is it that 'Ultra-Silky Stocking Improvement Technique'?"

"That's right."

"Ah? The difficulty of this improvement technique is very high; we were just discussing it. We don't know what level we need to reach to master it proficiently."

Zhao Chi smiled, "It is indeed difficult, but don't be anxious, just accumulate experience slowly. Your attributes are all very high, far stronger than the average person."

This was not a compliment.

It was the truth, and a fact.

High attributes were also a great help to craftsmen.

After all, when crafting items, various attributes all play a role simultaneously.

They would grow faster, have higher production efficiency, and produce better quality products than ordinary human craftsmen.

Under the surprised gazes of the five female tailors, Zhao Chi entered crafting mode.

System prompt:

【Crafting mode entered】

【Please select crafting content】:

【1. Craft】

【2. Strengthen】

【3. Improve】

【4. Enchant】

【5. Repair】

Zhao Chi selected 【3. Improve】.

At this moment, his head began to feel slightly dizzy again.

The next moment, he felt as if he had entered a very strange state.

It was like entering a trance.

His eyes remained fixed on the stockings in front of him, with a strong urge to improve them.

In his peripheral vision, he could see Feng Xiu and the others continuing to make leather armor, but they were looking at him curiously as they worked.

Zhao Chi had experienced this feeling many times at the academy, but it felt magical every time.

He cleared his mind, focused his energy, and began the improvement.

The improvement was very complex.

It required decomposition and reorganization without destroying the original fashion item.

And it required using new materials to perform various combinations.

The quantity of materials, the weaving method, the timing of the intersections, the arrangement direction, and the force of the technique were all different.

It required a professional tailor to accumulate a large amount of experience to basically master it.

However, Zhao Chi accidentally discovered some "hints."

Although "Flower-Moving, Jade-Grafting" could not be activated, he could see those data points that could not be transferred.

The data was light gray and very difficult to distinguish.

But he could be certain that this data was also hidden data.

Among them were two key pieces of data.

They seemed to be related to the success rate and the output quality.

When his technique was correct, the success rate would increase significantly, and the quality would slowly rise.

If his steps were incorrect, the success rate would obviously drop, and the quality would decrease accordingly.

However, what was strange was.

This success rate and quality were not completely synchronized.

Sometimes the success rate would rise significantly, but the quality would drop sharply.

Sometimes the success rate would almost drop to zero, but the quality would be surprisingly high.

It left him completely confused.

But he was not a professional tailor now, and his sewing skill was very low.

He could not fathom the mysteries within.

He could only try to improve the quality as much as possible while maintaining the success rate.

After all, successfully completing the improvement was the most important thing at the moment.

If the crafting failed, the materials would be wasted. Even the stocking fashion item would likely be ruined.

As for the quality, that was something to consider after successfully improving it.

Zhao Chi was improving them very seriously.

But he knew the quality might not be very good.

After all, he was not a professional.

It was like giving a normal person a sheet of music and asking them to play the piano in real-time.

This was difficult.

Being able to play it basically was already not easy.

Zhao Chi did not expect to make a standard improved version.

As long as he could control the quality at the "Rough" level, it would count as a success.

If it was "Inferior," it was also acceptable; at least it was better than a failed craft.

With this mindset, Zhao Chi relaxed.

The success rate also increased a little.

He didn't know how long he had been working.

The system gave two prompts:

【You have successfully improved the "Ultra-Silky Stockings"】

【Your level has increased to Level 2, you have gained 1 Strengthening Point】

Zhao Chi breathed a sigh of relief and exited crafting mode.

He had leveled up.

Crafting items could also gain experience.

The greater the difficulty of the craft and the higher the quality, the more experience gained.

Zhao Chi had successfully improved the ultra-silky fashion item, which was highly difficult, so the experience was naturally substantial, allowing him to level up directly.

He chose to strengthen his Life, and his Life increased by another 5%.

Next.

Zhao Chi picked up the pale white stockings and carefully examined their attributes.

【Name】Ultra-Silky Stockings

【Quality】Rough

【Durability】3.8

【Color】Transparent off-white

【Attribute】Female only: Movement Speed +7.5%

【Improvement】Female only: Defense +37.5%

【Description】An ultra-silky improved version of stocking fashion, greatly enhancing the silkiness of the stockings, allowing them to slide off a large amount of enemy attacks.

Rough quality! Met expectations!

Really not bad.

Zhao Chi looked at the stockings in his hand, which were as thin as cicada wings and weightless, and felt it was magical.

Such a soft and fragile fashion item could actually have so many bonuses.

Ordinary stockings had no bonuses.
