Chapter 98: Chapter 97: Silk Paste Treatment
If even urine could be turned into Silk Paste, then the production volume of this Spider Silk would be more than enough.
But Gu Qing was right.
Even if the components of the original fluid were restructured after being turned into Spider Silk, spitting it out of one’s mouth was still a bit of a psychological hurdle.
Zhao Chi said, "Glands include sweat glands. Try to see if you can produce silk from your hands."
Gu Qing’s eyes lit up. "Oh, right! I’ll try."
She raised her palm before her eyes and focused her Energy.
The next moment, fine, pale-red threads appeared in her palm.
Gu Qing waved her hand, and the Silk Threads shot out.
They stuck all over the wall.
However, it was obvious that the Silk Threads coming from her palm weren’t concentrated; they were very dispersed.
Instead of a concentrated bundle, they were just a few loose strands.
After all, sweat glands are much finer and can’t gather large amounts of fluid in a short time like salivary glands.
Still, being able to expel it from the skin was a great improvement.
’But why is the Color red this time?’
"Gu Qing, did you use blood this time?"
Gu Qing nodded. "Yes. I tried to convert saliva to produce silk from my hands, but it was very strenuous. Converting blood, on the other hand, is much easier."
That made sense. The salivary glands were a long way from the palms; it certainly wouldn’t be as quick as converting blood.
But this still didn’t solve the main problem of volume.
If the Spider Silk yield was too low, it couldn’t be used as a substitute for regular Silk.
Hearing Zhao Chi’s words, Gu Qing smiled. "So, My Lord, you just need a large quantity of silk produced? In that case, I can just let it come out from where it’s supposed to come out."
’The place it’s supposed to come out from?’
Zhao Chi couldn’t help but let his imagination run.
Gu Qing gave a faint smile and undid her clothes.
This time, Zhao Chi didn’t look away.
He watched as Gu Qing dragged over the wooden basin.
She squatted...
HSSS~
Then, an extremely large amount of pale yellow Spider Silk appeared.
And it was a single, neat bundle.
HSSS~ HSSS~ HSSS~
The amount of Spider Silk grew and grew.
By the time Gu Qing was finished, the pale yellow Silk Threads she had produced filled half the wooden basin.
The output was indeed several times the normal volume.
The Talent’s Effect was truly astonishing.
Gu Qing looked down at it. "My Lord, what will this silk be used for? You’re not going to have me produce silk like this on the battlefield to stick to enemies, are you?"
"Of course not."
Zhao Chi walked over and picked up a bundle. It was still warm.
But just like the white silk from earlier, it was extremely sticky, resilient, and elastic.
A bona fide high-strength material.
But before it could be used as a material, one more thing needed to be confirmed.
"Gu Qing, turn around."
"Huh?"
"Look toward the door. Turn back around in five seconds."
Gu Qing blinked, not knowing what Zhao Chi was trying to do.
But she would obey Zhao Chi’s words, even if she didn’t understand them.
Gu Qing turned and went to clean the silk off the door and walls.
Seeing his chance, Zhao Chi quickly brought the Yellow Silk to his face and took a deep sniff.
There was no smell.
’This is perfect.’
This meant the pale yellow silk could be used as a material without any issues.
A few seconds later, Gu Qing turned back around, her expression strange.
"My Lord, I heard you sniffing..."
Zhao Chi was slightly embarrassed.
"Don’t get the wrong idea. I don’t have any strange fetishes. I was just confirming the properties of the material..."
"Mm, I get it... There’s no smell, is there?"
"None."
"That’s good..."
’After all, the body fluids were converted into Silk Paste. Even if it had a scent, it would just be the scent of Silk Paste.’
’But for some reason, the Color didn’t change.’
’But there should be a solution...’
’If I have Gu Qing drink more water, perhaps this pale yellow Spider Silk could also become pale white.’
Even if the Color couldn’t be changed, they could alter it with dyes.
In this world, even something black could be perfectly dyed into any other color.
It was just that magical.
The properties of the Spider Silk were now verified. Next, they needed to test the Treatment Effect.
If this was also Effective, it would be absolutely perfect.
"Gu Qing, get a small knife. I’ll make a cut on myself to test the Treatment Effect. The Silk Paste should be able to provide Treatment too."
Gu Qing shook her head. "My Lord, there’s a better candidate."
Zhao Chi shook his head.
He knew she was talking about Tang Ruan.
"It’s fine. Even though Tang Ruan has the Sadomasochism Talent, I can’t just hurt her for no reason, can I?"
Gu Qing smiled. "My Lord, you’ve always been clever. Don’t be so rigid. If we have Tang Ruan do it, you’ll be spared the pain, and she’ll be satisfied. Isn’t that killing two birds with one stone?"
’She has a point.’
Zhao Chi understood, really.
But he couldn’t bring himself to hurt Tang Ruan.
"Alright, go get her."
"As you command~"
Gu Qing left with a sway in her hips.
Soon, she returned with the small knife, followed by a very expectant Tang Ruan.
’He really didn’t understand what was so exciting about getting hurt.’
"My Lord, Sister Gu told me. I know you’re worried about hurting me, but there’s really no need."
Gu Qing said, "My Lord, if you can’t bring yourself to do it, you can let me."
"No, I’ll do it. Tang Ruan, come here."
"Okay~"
Tang Ruan happily approached.
She held out her fair, delicate hand.
Zhao Chi made a light cut with the knife, and a thin red line appeared on her soft skin.
The wound was small and shallow.
"Ah~"
Tang Ruan let out a soft cry.
Zhao Chi quickly asked, "How is it? Does it hurt?"
Gu Qing said with a sigh, "My Lord~ Can’t you tell how pleased she sounds?"
Tang Ruan was indeed biting her lower lip, a look of excitement on her face.
Zhao Chi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your turn, Gu Qing."
"No problem. Tang Ruan, hold your hand out toward me."
"Mm."
Gu Qing took a few steps back, flicked her finger, and a strand of red Silk Thread flew out.
It landed stickily on Tang Ruan’s arm.
Gu Qing laughed. "Oops, I missed. Let’s try again."
But Tang Ruan waved her off. "Sister Gu, the wound is healed."
Zhao Chi looked, and sure enough, it was.
’But the Silk Thread Gu Qing shot out was some distance from the wound. Does the Healing Fluid not need to be applied directly to the injury?’
Gu Qing wondered the same thing.
Tang Ruan laughed. "Why don’t we just try again? My Lord, again!"
Tang Ruan eagerly held out her arm.
Zhao Chi nodded and lightly made another small cut.
"Mmm~" Tang Ruan moaned with pleasure again.
This time, Gu Qing didn’t use her hand, instead spitting a strand of white silk from her mouth.
Once again, it landed on Tang Ruan’s arm.
"Huh? Sister Gu, the Treatment didn’t work this time."
Gu Qing nodded. "Hold on, I’ll try again."
As she spoke, Gu Qing spat again.
A new strand of white silk shot onto the arm.
"Huh? Sister Gu, how come it was Effective this time? My wound is healed."
Gu Qing nodded and walked closer.
"Alright, I think I understand now.
"First, it’s confirmed that this fluid Treatment doesn’t need to cover the wound. It’s Effective as long as it touches the Body.
"I shot twice just now. The first time, I shot pure Spider Silk onto Tang Ruan, but she didn’t have any Recovery.
"The second time, I made the Silk Paste a bit thinner, so it didn’t turn into a Silk Thread as quickly in mid-air.
"So when it landed on Tang Ruan’s arm, it was in a State of half Silk Thread, half Silk Paste, and that’s when it was Effective."
Zhao Chi understood.
"Gu Qing, how far can you shoot it?"
"I’m not sure yet. Over ten meters is definitely possible. I haven’t fully mastered it yet, so give me some Time to practice. I think I can make it go even farther."
"No problem. Keep up the good work."
"I’ll definitely do my best."
As she spoke, Gu Qing moved closer and planted a light kiss on Zhao Chi’s cheek.
MWAH!
"Thank you, My Lord, for giving me such a wonderful Talent. I will be sure to cherish it."
[Your subordinate Gu Qing’s Loyalty has increased to 7 - Confidant.]
Gu Qing’s Loyalty had also reached 7.
Her Affinity didn’t increase this time.
But Zhao Chi knew he couldn’t force it. For both women to unlock Tier Two Affinity in a single day was already lightning fast.
Gu Qing chuckled lightly. "It’s getting late. You should get some rest, My Lord. I won’t disturb you. I’m going to go practice this Silk Spinning Ability."
Zhao Chi nodded. "Good night."
Gu Qing smiled gently. "Good night, My Lord. Good night, Tang Ruan."
With that, she left the room, leaving only Tang Ruan and Zhao Chi.
Tang Ruan glanced around, as if she had something she wanted to say.
Zhao Chi smiled. "What is it? You don’t have to be shy with me."
Tang Ruan giggled and drew closer.
"My Lord, I also want to thank you for giving me such a wonderful Talent, and for promoting me to a Hero! Thank you!"
After she finished speaking, Tang Ruan leaned in just as Gu Qing had.
MWAH!
Except her lips landed on his other cheek.
"Good night, My Lord."
Tang Ruan ran out of the room, blushing.
Zhao Chi was filled with emotion.
’Looks like this game world has its good points too.’
’At least, in his original world, it would have been impossible for two such stunning women to act this way toward him.’
’And there was no conflict between Gu Qing and Tang Ruan; instead, they were in a State of mutual acceptance.’
’Could this place really be a Peach Blossom Spring?’
Zhao Chi was happy for a few seconds, but he quickly came back to his senses.
’Perhaps only his own territory was a Peach Blossom Spring.’
’In the Great World outside, hordes of Magical Beasts were waiting to stream in.’
’This world was not perfect.’
’He still had to do everything he could to increase his own strength.’
’Increasing his strength would always be the top priority.’
