"ah?"
Yi Chen looked at the nail number on his hand that was left out and felt a little confused.
"I remember when I was still a human, my luck, an attribute that cannot be improved, was only 3. Could it be that their luck is lower than mine, or has my luck value increased without me noticing
but…
Or maybe they are actually luckier than me. After all, becoming the first gentleman is not necessarily a lucky thing. If they spend too much energy in the first round, it will reduce the possibility of winning the final. Not being able to become the first gentleman may be a more fortunate thing from a certain perspective.
It suits me just fine anyway, after all I want to be the first gentleman.
It doesn't consume physical energy, and you can also understand the ability types and strength levels of these guys in advance, especially... 』
At this time, the first gentleman spoke.
"The first round of the cortex duel will be held between the two people who drew the number 1. The rest of you please retreat to the viewing platform for the time being."
Yi Chen jumped up and came to the side of the principal and Professor Chamberson.
The gentleman's clothing slid out of the suitcase room by itself, allowing for a seamless change of clothes, while also creating a leather seat that fit right between the two of them.
Due to the limited space in the viewing platform, the principal raised his thigh with his calf slightly touching Yi Chen's leg, as if suggesting a "massage", but considering there were too many people here, he did not take the initiative to suggest it.
The principal's voice came from my ear:
"William, what happened to the previous "skin sense" test? Did you deliberately come out within the 30-minute time limit, or is there some other reason... And there is so much strange blood with skin gushing out.
Things like this that touch upon the old world will require me to consume several times or even dozens of times the "divination epidemic value". If higher beings are involved, it will cause a backlash to my divination. Moreover, due to the interference of planes caused by different worlds, divination may not be accurate.
So I need you to explain what happened inside the First Gentleman's body.
Even now, I can still smell a little bit of turbidity and uneasiness from you."
Yi Chen informed Dai Silin of the entire process of the skin feeling assessment, and described in detail how he chose to fall and "bounce back".
After hearing this description, Principal Dai Silin changed her leg-crossing posture again, and the look under the mask became strange. She even turned around to look at Yi Chen.
"You actually went to the leather factory and negotiated directly with the people over there at such an important juncture for the leather promotion? Are you so confident... Fortunately, it was rejected at the last moment and was forced to bounce back.
However, the appearance of blood is very strange, what do you think, Professor Chamberson?"
White Owl Chamberson had already fallen into deep thought when Yi Chen was halfway through his story. He stroked his white beard and replied, "I think it is necessary to inform the organization's top leaders of the details of William's experience."
"Well... let your owl pass the message. It's better to be careful."
After a brief exchange, their gaze returned to the church.
However, Yi Chen was still communicating at the mental level, and a string of words outlined in yellow silk appeared between his eye sockets.
§The blood stains on your body are mixed with the properties of leather, but they are not the waste blood that leaks out when the leather factory is processing leather. At least when I was still in the leather factory, I had never seen such blood.§
"Could it be that there is an intruder in the leather factory? This is why the First Gentleman has been unable to get in touch with the leather factory since three months ago? Recently, I have heard news about the leather factory problem from various sources."
§It is possible, but not certain.
As the source of the epidemic area, the Yousui Leather Factory is personally supervised by the Skin Bag Origin. Few forces within the Old World attempt to shake the status of the leather factory.
In my opinion, it is more likely that the leather factory is undergoing a "comprehensive reform". Perhaps the entire factory is being optimized and rectified, and even the most basic leather production is being changed.
This is why low-level subsidiary branches like yours are unable to get in touch with the leather factories, but they are still supplying leather continuously.
In addition, due to the emergence of a new production industry, there is also the blood you just stained.
"Well, that's the best. If I can sit on the first gentleman's seat, I can also talk to them about the leather supply here and the reform of the connector."
Yi Chen stopped thinking about this matter and turned his attention back to the church.
The first cortical promotion is about to begin, with the insomniac, Yodesapon Garon, facing off against the cross-dressing tailor, Jessica Lores.
Yi Chen is very optimistic about these two candidates.
Even Little Grape came out, in the form of a meatball, wearing a simple suit, standing on the shoulder to cheer for Jessica! After all, his clothes were made by this lady.
Spacey, the CEO's tailor who was taking a break not far away, also opened his eyes and whispered, "Jessica, show them your true potential."
The game begins.
Many different types of scents immediately emerged from Jessica's body, and the rich and diverse smell of sebum filled the church.
The disease she suffers from is called congenital adrenal cortical hyperplasia (CAH).
This is a relatively benign disease that she had suffered from during her childhood, but it did not affect her personality. She just often suffered from large-scale peeling and cortical hyperplasia in different tissue areas.
As long as it can be "cleaned" in time, it will not affect normal life.
According to the definition of patients given within the organization, Jessica is "Patient Zero".
But living in such an era, if there is something strange about you, you will inevitably be excluded.
Even though the villagers in Jessica's village were simple and kind, she was still abandoned by her parents and had to fend for herself. Occasionally, someone would bring her leftovers or unused clothes from a few meters away.
Until he was discovered by the chief tailor, Spacey, and brought back to the organization to be trained among the associations.
After all, she is a patient and basically stays in the Tailors Association 365 days a year and seldom meets others. Loneliness has become a fixed label that is always attached to her forehead.
In her heart, Mr. Spacey is her only friend and confidant.
She is willing to do anything for it, including studying tailoring, being responsible for the design and research of cross-dressing between organizations, and becoming the first gentleman.
The current situation has changed.
Since Spacey said that there is a young man who is more suitable for the First Gentleman than her, she will try her best to pass the first screening, and then directly send William Behrens to the position when the final comes.
Restrictions lifted
In Jessica's dressing room, a completely different stream of cortical energy flowed behind her.
Swish, swish, swish~ One by one, "skin tubes" grew out of the back,
These tubes are connected to a group of puppets that look like Jessica but have completely different auras and shapes. There are hundreds of them.
Or standard standing,
Or crawling on the ground,
Maybe hanging in the air,
As Jessica grows, the amount of "skin hyperplasia" increases every day. Although she can control it, she needs to spend some time every day to "eliminate" the hyperplastic skin.
Excess skin is not burned or thrown away, but saved and used as material.
These proliferated skins carry Jessica's own genes, and can even make the skin full of activity and slave consciousness through "cortical activation".
She reshapes, processes and creates a wide variety of puppets by reshaping the skin that grows daily.
Moreover, being in such a special place as the Tailor Guild, some of the extra gentleman's skins can be used directly by her, so each puppet has its own gentleman's clothing.
When this multiplied army was revealed, many people present widened their eyes.
One person is an army. If Jessica is allowed to continue to develop, she will definitely become an important fighting force of the organization, or she already is.
However,
Facing such a skin army,
However, the insomniac Garlon yawned and fell asleep with his eyes open while standing... His snoring could even be heard in the church.
