The Last Gentleman

Chapter 35: Leave early

Views:

Jin, who was standing outside the door, actually kept waving his hand in a temporary farewell gesture, as if the gears in his body were stuck and time had stopped.

He didn't return to normal until Yi Chen came out of the garment room again.

When seeing Yi Chen's formal, elegant and academic suit, one can roughly guess his corresponding career direction.

“Academic style~It seems that your career is more inclined towards learning and thinking.

Even from this distance, I can smell the ancient scent emanating from your clothes. The leather of the "First Gentleman" is really great.

Unlike me, I can only use this old leather mixed with water to deal with it, hey~"

The skin that corresponds to the 80-point assessment and exudes the atmosphere of the old world is not worth mentioning in Jin's eyes.

I even threw away the storage box a long time ago.

The "gentleman's leather" that others regarded as a treasure, he just casually stuffed into his shirt.

Jin looked towards the door of the clothing room, "Mr. Yin Wan, can my clothes be made? Just do it casually, as long as it can check the body condition.

When I get the same skin as William, I will come back to you to make it again."

"I won't treat my work casually. Come here quickly. After I finish your business, I need to take a good rest for ten days or half a month."

Jin shrugged and headed straight for the dressmaking room.

As Yi Chen was standing in the middle, the two of them just happened to pass by each other... Jin's fingers also slid onto Yi Chen's shoulders.

"Hey, I have an idea.

How about we form a special team later? With our level, we can definitely complete all the tasks quickly, and we can even consider applying for skip-level tasks.

In a short time, we can accumulate a large amount of high-quality leather to complete our clothing.

You can also reach the limit of your "personhood" earlier, and then you can do more truly meaningful things."

Facing Jin's invitation to form a team,

Yi Chen still had a lot of things he didn't understand about the organization, the world, and the profession he had just acquired. He was even a complete blank slate, so naturally he wouldn't agree.

"Maybe our growth patterns are different, we'll see when the time comes."

"Boring man."

Just as Jin's fingers were about to slide off Yi Chen's shoulders, he suddenly exerted force!

The sudden sense of danger stimulated the plants in the body, trying to build a defense layer on the shoulders.

However,

His fingers slid down his shoulders normally, and nothing happened. It was like some kind of trick that completely deceived Yi Chen's instinct.

Jin placed his colorfully gloved hands behind his hips and shook them slightly as he said goodbye... This showed that he was still looking forward to their future cooperation.

When Jin entered the dressing room, the secret door closed.

A drop of cold sweat slid down his temple and cheek and was absorbed by his collar.

"This guy... is so dangerous, more dangerous than any other diseased creature I've ever encountered."

at the same time,

Little Grape squeezed out from between the collars and stretched her body.

"He is indeed an extraordinary human being. Even I could sense the killing intent and the sense of danger... but he was able to control himself as if nothing had happened.

William, why don’t we team up with this guy

With him around, we can save a lot of effort in killing the enemy.

After all, the profession you chose, combined with the senses I provide, allows you to legitimately call yourself an auxiliary gentleman."

"Let's talk about it later. I'll think about it later."

Little Grape did not comment on Yi Chen's career choice, gentleman's clothing,

but,

From the way it jumped around on his shoulders and shook its arms like seaweed, it was clear that he was quite satisfied with Yi Chen's changes.

Yi Chen recalled the conversation just now.

"According to King,

After becoming a gentleman, you can also obtain skins by completing various tasks issued by Zion, which can be used to complete, modify or even remake the clothes.

In this process, it seems that one can slowly touch the "limits of human beings" and break through to the next level. "

The little grape waved its arms,

"It's not that simple! You humans have been imprisoned in a restrictive physical cage for generations. If you want to break through the limits and break this 'cage', you need to pay a huge price."

"Then let's reach the limit first... By the way, little Grape, do you know what the next stage is?"

"My memories do not contain this kind of knowledge. It is probably directly related to the ancient creatures and your profession."

"Oh~ By the way, little grape, will you kill me?"

Originally a relaxing chat time,

Yi Chen's sudden question brought them into a strange and tense atmosphere.

However,

Little Grape was not unhappy. Instead, he rubbed his eyeballs with his teeth and said with a smile, "It seems that your costume detected something? Is your evaluation of me quite dangerous?"

Yi Chen nodded, "That's about what I mean."

Little Grape clasped her two little hands in front of her chest and narrowed her mouth into a slit like her eyelids.

"It is possible that I will kill you... but there are conditions.

If I find that you are no longer "interesting", full of disgust for yourself and the world, abandoning the desire to explore the outside world, and turning into a meaningless coward, I will end your life in advance."

Hearing Little Grape's answer,

Yi Chen looked relieved, as if this was the final answer he wanted.

"That's good... Please, little grape, you must supervise me carefully. If I really become like that, or show a tendency to change, I will give you my two grapes. Remember to tell me how they taste."

"You are such an interesting guy!"

This simple conversation raised Little Grape's interest again.

It slightly spit out half of its eyeball and rubbed it against Yi Chen's cheek, leaving his face covered with mucus.

Two kinds of laughter, suppressed as much as possible, echoed on the second floor.

Just then,

The sound of a door opening was heard downstairs again.

"Hmm? This tailor shop doesn't seem very secretive at all... Why is there another person here?"

When the footsteps reached the second floor, a familiar owl came into view.

"Professor Chamberson? Are you done with your work?"

"It was an emergency meeting, the process was very short... Hmm!? This is your costume!"

When Chamberson noticed Yi Chen's suit, his eyes widened.

The owl on his shoulder also stared with its round eyes, observing together.

About a minute passed.

"Perfect!

Yin Wan's craftsmanship has not been lost due to the pain, but has become more personal! It's so perfect... Even you don't deserve this costume now.

To be precise, the true purpose of this outfit cannot be brought into play.

As the First Gentleman said, you are still a completely blank sheet of paper.

I will give you a series of long-term special training.

So that you can catch up with other gentlemen at the "basic level".

After you report to the academy tomorrow, come directly to my office... Forget it! Without further ado, go to my office now and draw up a special training plan."

Chamberson was already impatient to polish Yi Chen, this rare gem.

"Um... Manager Yin Wan asked me to stay here. He needs to review the clothing later."

"Don't worry, I'm here. I'll complete the review."

Chamberson pulled out a fountain pen with a white feather decoration.

The organization's logo is engraved on the nib, and the pen body is painted with an owl half hidden in a tree trunk using ancient lacquer art.

Write a message on a piece of paper and stick it in the gap of the secret door.

The two are about to go to Omphalo-tric-Academy (OCA)

Deep in the north of Zion,

The exterior of the college is surrounded by tall walls that separate it from the city of Zion, giving it a feeling of being a city within a city.

The academy is permanently shrouded in a night filled with auroras, with no changes between day and night. Any external observation will be blocked, and it is extremely airtight.

It is a special college that most gentlemen (except black letters) must attend.

Gentlemen trained by the academy can greatly reduce the mortality rate when performing missions, exploring gray areas, and facing patients.

At the same time, it can effectively guide the gentleman group to touch the limits of human beings faster and more steadily.
