Chapter 554

Previously, his limit was using 6 Speed-Work Talismans in a row.

But after using that many, he passed out.

His limit for staying conscious was 5 Speed-Work Talismans.

But it would put him in a state of severe motion sickness, or something like it.

Extremely uncomfortable.

He could grit through it once or twice on willpower, but sustaining it long-term was basically impossible.

The amount a normal person could sustain long-term was probably about 2.

After all, it was the equivalent of working 20 hours straight, and work that required intense concentration.

It was exhausting.

If he relied on medicine to restore his energy and stamina, he could indeed increase the number of Speed-Work Talismans used in a row.

It could be raised to around 5, which was also Zhao Chi's limit.

Equivalent to working 50 hours straight, and focused work at that.

It brought severe dizziness and nausea.

But Zhao Chi was inside Tang Ruan's body, the two of them sharing one body.

The important thing was, there were two people.

This allowed the negative effects to be split between them.

So they could directly double it to 10 Speed-Work Talismans used in a row.

But this was only the baseline.

If Tang Ruan's masochistic tendencies were added on top, the number could be raised to 15.

But this wasn't the limit.

Tang Ruan could still push further.

It's just that the severe dizziness was already affecting production — even under the focused state of the Speed-Work Talismans, she was still very dizzy.

This affected the production results and quality.

So 15 wasn't Tang Ruan's limit, but the limit for guaranteeing product quality.

And now, Tang Ruan's talent already was no longer masochistic tendency, but masochistic fondness.

He didn't know whether it could be increased further.

Craft!

Craft!

5 Speed-Work Talismans.

Tang Ruan 【Hehe, my lord, you're so amazing, they all succeeded】

Craft!

Craft!

10 Speed-Work Talismans.

Tang Ruan 【Hee hee hee, my lord, my body isn't much use, do you like it?】

Craft!

Craft!

15 Speed-Work Talismans.

Tang Ruan 【Hahahaha, my lord, why do I feel like my feet are growing on my head? Ahahahaha】

Tang Ruan: "La la la~ la la~ ah~ ya ya~ oh yeah~ yeah yeah yeah!"

Still no good…

It seemed the limit of 15 still held.

He was also very dizzy while crafting, nearly making mistakes several times.

But Tang Ruan was even more excited than before.

Not only was she constantly talking to Zhao Chi and singing in her mind, she had also started shouting and humming little tunes out loud in reality.

She was in a complete state of a drunken woman.

Zhao Chi was also very excited now.

He could feel the morale surging.

From the previous 88% morale, it had risen to 148%.

The crafting speed was getting faster and faster.

Although the number of Speed-Work Talismans was capped at 15.

But under the combined effect of 148% high morale, 145% high mood, plus the costume's +50% work speed, +60% efficiency, +15 professional skill, as well as Zhao Chi's own 34 points of Sewing skill, and 1 point of High Heels Specialization.

Under all these combined effects, the high heels that originally took 5 hours could now be finished in just 1.4 hours.

In other words, within the duration of one Speed-Work Talisman, 7 pairs of high heels could be made.

So, under the effect of 15 Speed-Work Talismans, that meant 105 pairs.

Correspondingly, 105 pairs of stockings, and 75 shirts.

It seemed… the output wasn't low.

Not low? It was way too high!

It looked like all the new costumes could be finished before the rookie competition.

No good, too dizzy.

Zhao Chi didn't activate the Driving Technique skill again, and withdrew from Tang Ruan's body.

This tailor shop was used by Zhao Chi alone; there was a bed inside.

Zhao Chi struggled to look toward the bed, but somehow it felt as though the bed was floating in the sky.

Tang Ruan's steps were unsteady.

But her cheeks were flushed, her gaze hazy.

She was smiling at Zhao Chi: "Eh? my lord, why did you go out? Not doing it anymore? Hehe~"

"No, let's rest a bit, we'll continue later."

"Rest? No need, I can still keep going. my lord, come in and play~"

Zhao Chi said nothing more.

He grabbed Tang Ruan and, swaying with every step, walked toward the bed.

Tang Ruan laughed: "Heeheehee, my lord, you don't need to be gentle with me, come at me hard. I'm so dizzy right now, I can't resist at all, hehehe~"

How has this little girl become just like Gu Qing?

Completely different from her usual self.

Zhao Chi wanted to cover her mouth.

But his hand couldn't find her mouth and fumbled onto the soft spots several times.

Forget it then, let her talk.

He soon pulled her onto the bed: "Stop talking, sleep now."

Tang Ruan was still giggling, wanting to speak.

Zhao Chi simply pressed her into his arms.

"No talking, sleep!"

"Oh~ hehe."

Though Tang Ruan was a bit floaty, she still obeyed Zhao Chi.

She closed her eyes with a smile.

Softly pressing down on Zhao Chi, she quickly fell asleep.

Zhao Chi touched her face—warm and soft.

Then he fell asleep too.

At 5:45 the next morning, Tang Ruan gently woke Zhao Chi.

"my lord, it's time. You should go check on Penglai Village."

Zhao Chi hurried to get up: "Good, is breakfast ready?"

Tang Ruan nodded: "Mm, it's all ready."

From yesterday afternoon until now, roughly fourteen hours had passed.
