the last gentleman

Chapter 126 The Essence of Leather
When crossing the black bridge and completely leaving the jurisdiction of [Spirit Mansion],
Director Ai Jiben wanted to say something,
After glancing at Chamberson with small eyes, he swallowed all the words wrapped in his mouth back into his body, patted Yi Chen's shoulder heavily, adjusted the slope of the high hat, and returned to the gentleman's hall alone.

Chamberson led Yi Chen to the nearby elevator, to the lower street area, and the destination was naturally a tailor shop.

"Professor, are these skins used to upgrade clothing?"

"Since you already have a suitable pair of spellcasting gloves, there's no need to make cloth supplies.

You have never upgraded your clothing since you entered the city, that is, by adding extra gentleman's skins to increase the 'skin content' of your clothing.

Also, your costume was badly damaged during the incident and needs some hides to fully mend. "

Now that we are talking about this, Yi Chen just took this opportunity to ask Professor Chamberson some questions about 'clothes'.

"I've seen some explanations of 'gentlemen's clothing' when I was reading books.

It mentioned a very important point - [skin content].

The gentlemen accepted by the organization can get extra "gentleman's skin" as a reward by performing various tasks. Most of them will use it to complete the clothing and increase the [skin content] of the clothing room. In the completion of this clothing gradually reaches its maximum value.

Tailors will refuse to add hides once the maximum is reached.

What happens if the so-called maximum hide content is exceeded?This is not mentioned in the book. "

"If it exceeds, it will be out of control, and the clothing will give birth to an independent consciousness that cannot be controlled by the individual, and will eventually swallow the gentleman's subject. This process is also called [peeling].

This happened to Zion in the early days when he was not familiar with the use of skins.

The more famous one is the "Charles Family Incident" that happened 75 years ago. The eldest son of the family, Charles Fudier, was obsessed with the power provided by the gentleman's skin, and forced an excessive amount of skin into the clothing room through unconventional means.

As a result, his family was all skinned overnight,
When the nearby patrol team found the anomaly and rushed into the family house, it was full of skinned corpses,

And a "clothing body" that devoured the skin of the whole family. Fortunately, there were high-ranking gentlemen and doctors who passed by nearby to suppress it together. "

Yi Chen has long been skeptical about the "gentleman's skin", what is this living thing that can connect to the ancient system.

"Clothing body? Could it be that the essence of a gentleman's skin is a pathogenic product?"

"Correctly speaking, it should be called "controllable pathogens" or "beneficial pathogens".

This pathogen can be controlled and utilized by us humans, greatly improving our survival rate, and allowing human civilization to continue in such a world.

After hundreds of years of development of the organization, it is enough to prove the stability and controllability of the Gentleman's Skin. "

"Is that really the case..." Yi Chen nodded thoughtfully, and then continued to ask, "Then the reason why the "First Gentleman" exists underground in such a form, could it be that the meaning of his existence is [control over the skin] 】? "

Professor Chamberson replied without hesitation: "Connection, control and output, his dedication is selfless, great, and incomparable... It is their great existence, organization and human civilization that are willing to dedicate themselves. developed and continued.”

"Ah."

Yi Chen wasn't too surprised, or had expected it, but simply responded.

In his cognition, Gentleman's Skin is like the probiotics in the human body, symbiotic and living together with people, and jointly resisting foreign invasion and pathogenic bacteria that can induce various diseases.

"Professor, except for my skin that was directly taken from the [First Gentleman]. How did the ordinary gentleman's skin and the gentleman's skin with ancient aura come from?"

"With your observation skills, you should have found something in the depths of the mansion, right?
The iron chains used to bind the "First Gentleman" are covered with his derivative skins. These derivative skins will continue to grow and spread, and will be passed to the ground through the iron chains, and finally reach the mansion of the godskin.

After special treatment by the clergy, these derivative skins are cut, sorted and collected.

Different derivative skins carry different amounts of old world aura.

If the First Gentleman's skin is counted as 100% content, these derived skins will not exceed 50% at most.

The content of 30%~50% is defined as the skin carrying the breath of the old world.

A content of 15%~30 is defined as the most common gentleman's skin.

Leather with a content of less than 15% has extremely poor effects, and is often packaged and sent to the tailor shop under the organization to be used as 'leftover material'. "

Yi Chen nodded, and then turned the topic back to clothing:
"So that's it! There's another problem, since the 'maximum leather content' of gentleman's clothing varies from person to person.

Is it possible that there exists a powerful human who can completely control [skin], he can perfectly adapt to the skin of the first gentleman, and can wear clothing with 100% leather content... Wait, no! "

Speaking of this, Yi Chen immediately realized something,
Chamberson answered with a smile: "That's right, there is indeed such a human being... that is the [First Gentleman] itself."

At this time, Yi Chen's expression had changed,

He stared at the 'First Gentleman's Skin' in the black box, felt the leather texture of the clothing, and recalled the state of the First Gentleman, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

"If I have been using the skin of the first gentleman to fill the costume, and one day it will reach 100% content and I can fully control it, then..."

At this point, Chamberson stopped.

"I discussed this issue privately with Director Edge just now, and you may have this possibility.

You should also feel that this time when you walk in the Shenpi mansion, you will be watched and spied on more than last time, and those priests pay more attention to you.

And [The First Gentleman] gave you a 15×15cm large skin at one time, not because he was sorry for destroying your body, but because you were favored. "

These words made Yi Chen stunned for a moment, his skin felt a tingling sensation, and goosebumps spread all over his body.

Chamberson patted his shoulder lightly and comforted him:

"Don't be nervous, it's just being favored, which means [alternative].

There are at least ten gentlemen in Zion... most of them have broken through the limits of human beings, and even if they are selected, they are the main considerations.

Moreover, if that time really comes, and you are determined to be the best candidate by Shenpi Mansion, I, as your first mentor, will do whatever it takes to ensure your 'right to choose independently'.

If you don't want to be first gentleman, I can bail you out of Zion.

So don't worry too much about the skin and affect your self-development... Use the resources at hand to your heart's content, follow the most suitable path, and reach a higher level.

At this stage, increasing the skin content is only good for you. When it reaches the maximum value, you can even stimulate the ancient power in it, carry out a deeper combination, and greatly improve your healing efficiency. "

"Thank you Professor Chamberson."

【Unknown tailor shop】

When the two came to the door of the dressing room again, Mr. Ivan was actually working.

After waiting for about an hour, a familiar figure walked out from inside.

"What a coincidence, William!"

It was Jin who walked out. Her clothes were completely damaged in the church incident, and now she asked Mr. Iwan to make the same color shirt.

"Jin, what is the leather of your costume?"

"Didn't you send a copy of the mission? Then you also extracted a lot of skins from the missing team from the meat of the holy fetus that you chopped up. Isn't that enough?"

Naturally, Jin also noticed the black box in Yi Chen's hand, stepped up to his side, and whispered in his ear: "Are you sure you want to use such a large piece of skin to increase the skin content? It's a bit dangerous."

"Ah."

Seeing Yi Chen's firm eyes, Jin didn't say much.

"I'm very confident~ I'm also looking forward to it, I want to see how the guys who manage the skins in Zion will react when you fully control these [skins]... Hurry up and make clothes, I'll wait outside you."

　I recommend a novel written by a book friend, "My Secret Office". If you are interested, you can read it. The introduction is as follows:
