When other candidates escaped from the skin room one after another, Yi Chen was still hanging on the wall that looked like a cortical abyss, thinking in his epileptic brain.
"The First Gentleman as a "connector",
It is permanently fixed deep inside the official residence, connecting the organization with the old world leather factory, accepting the raw hides processed by the leather factory, and then using its own flesh to "purify" the raw hides, making them into "gentleman's leather" that is more suitable for human wear and use.
If such a huge cortical space exists in the body, there are two possibilities.
1. This is the "Flesh Purification Factory" created by the First Gentleman Claude with great effort. The raw skins sent from the Old World are piled up here and slowly transformed for use by the organization.
2. This is the "gap" between the leather factory and reality, or even a transmission channel directly connected to the leather factory.
Before the assessment, Mr. Claude had made it clear that the leather factory provided less and less raw hides, and the leather that the organization could use was also greatly reduced. If this was a flesh factory, with so many abyssal raw hides existing here, there would definitely not be a problem of raw hide shortage.
Therefore, the second possibility is more likely.
This abyss should be the "special passage" connecting the First Gentleman and the leather factory.
Once one of us becomes the first gentleman, he will connect his body here and adapt in advance through promotion assessment. This is the idea of the first gentleman, Mr. Claude.
In this case, there is a high probability that you can climb out by climbing up.
Unfortunately, due to my mistake, I was unable to use my skin-related abilities to stop falling in the first place, and I missed the best opportunity.
He was not wearing any gentleman's clothes, so he could not remove the restrictions. He would definitely not have enough time to climb out from the depths in his current state.
Why not... go and take a look below.
If the leather factory is below, with my study of the "Skin Bible", I can even negotiate with the other party and ask them to send me back to Zion directly.
In addition to the leather Bible, I also have two relationships with the Duke and the original tomb, so negotiations should be a piece of cake."
After spending five minutes thinking, Yi Chen chose a method that was completely different from the other candidates - falling.
Cut off the thin line connecting the top of the head,
Continuing to fall in this cortical abyss, keeping his cortical senses unfolding, once he confirms that he has escaped from the abyss and arrived in the old world, Yi Chen will forcibly restore his blocked senses.
Five minutes... Ten minutes...
Still in the falling state,
Yi Chen was not in a hurry, as this was the way he had chosen. If he failed within the time limit, he would not be qualified to be the first gentleman. After returning, he would apologize to Huang Pi and choose another way to contact the leather factory.
Twenty minutes passed.
Yi Chen began to feel the changes.
The cortical abyss we are currently in, or more precisely, the cortical channel connecting to the old world, begins to slowly shrink and narrow.
The strange thing is that even though they were approaching the bottom, Yi Chen sensed that the cortical concentration was only slightly increased, and he also sensed a different kind of blood in the cortex.
"Are we almost at the bottom? What's with this bloody smell mixed in with the leather... Is it the blood removed from the raw materials during the leather factory processing?"
Just when Yi Chen was ready to go to the leather factory.
Buzz!
The body seemed to hit the bottom of a trampoline, which was extremely soft.
An unimaginably powerful repulsive force came and prevented Yi Chen, the outsider, from going to the leather factory, while also generating a powerful thrust.
It was like a gushing out of blood, carrying Yi Chen back the same way.
'Bottoming out'
The speed of flying upwards is actually faster than falling...
Deep inside the residence
The chains connected to and bound the First Gentleman's body began to tremble slightly. He suddenly opened his mouth, and a stream of blood that should not have existed actually gushed out from his mummified body.
vomit!
The candidates standing on the altar stepped back immediately.
A thick bloody liquid with a leathery smell vomited out, carrying the blood-covered Yi Chen, and landed right on the altar. If you didn't know, you would think some evil ritual was going on here.
On the viewing platform,
When she saw Yi Chen coming back in this way, Principal Daisylin finally loosened her thighs, and finally let out the breath that had been pent up in her chest, and casually wiped the sweat between her legs with a tissue.
Not just Deslin,
Everyone, including Kim, Spacey, and Professor Chamberson breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Yi Chen, who was lying on the altar, turned around and spat out some blood residue from his mouth.
"Wow! Are we in time yet?"
When Yi Chen asked this question, the first gentleman in the sky was silent... For a moment, everyone felt a sense of uneasiness and even fear in their hearts.
Buzz!
Wrinkled Spacey jumped directly in front of the First Gentleman, placed his palm on his abdomen, and transferred strands of leather essence into it.
About ten minutes later,
call!
With a dry breath, the First Gentleman's consciousness was pulled back.
Spacey was exhausted as a result, his whole body became loose, and strands of liquid wrinkles could be clearly seen leaking out from between his leather jackets. He was in terrible condition.
Jessica, one of his students, immediately stepped forward to support the teacher.
At this time, the First Gentleman's voice came from above: "Thank you, Spacey. Indeed, I can't die now... I still have one last project to finish."
"Hold on, Claude! It'll be over soon."
Spacey patted his friend's body gently, then glided back to his seat and sat down to rest.
At this time, everyone's attention was once again focused on Yi Chen. No one could understand why so much blood was pouring out of the First Gentleman's mouth.
But the First Gentleman had no intention of blaming Yi Chen. Although he had a lot to say about Yi Chen's choice to fall, he had little time left and had to quickly enter the third round.
“Since all five of them have passed the ‘skin feel’ assessment, the next step is the ‘skin texture’ assessment, which is also the final promotion.
It's basically the same as before, you need to come up with the most perfect "restriction removal" posture and fight on the spot.
The difference is that there will be no restrictions on the battle.
You can use various abilities that are completely unrelated to the skin, as long as you can maximize your own level and demonstrate the role of the skin in your personal system.
I want to select a gentleman who is strong enough, even more talented than me, so that we will be qualified to rebuild contact with the leather factory and have the possibility to negotiate more conditions with them.
Due to the number of people involved, the "cortex" assessment will be conducted in two rounds.
The first round is a one-on-one assessment by drawing lots.
Since there are still five of you, one of you will be eliminated and go directly to the finals. After all, luck is also a hidden attribute defined by ancient times and is part of individual strength.
The second round, which is the final promotion, will see the two winners and the one person who received a bye compete in a final three-way melee to determine the "First Gentleman".
There are no restrictions on fighting.
But if you show strong murderous intent during the battle and there is a possibility of killing your opponent, I and the audience present will stop you at the first opportunity.
Come and draw lots quickly, I don’t have much time left.”
The first gentleman stretched out his withered right arm to the crowd, and the so-called drawing lots meant choosing one of the nails.
Yi Chen was still cleaning the blood off his body, waiting for the last person to come forward, with only a piece of blood on his ring finger left to be extracted.
The entire nail was easily pulled out, and there was a number 3 engraved inside.
As others showed the numbers between their fingernails, the combatants lined up.

Today everyone in the family is going to a relative's house (who just came back) to wish New Year's greetings.
Little Ah Fei's tonsils are a little swollen and he has a cough. I dare not take him to the hospital, so I have to take care of him at home. I can't write at all. Today is Sunday, so I will update it first. Tomorrow I will officially start the final screening showdown.
