Chapter 300: Chapter 242: 1 Billion Light-years, Outer Heaven Suit, Flying Star Suit
Wang Yi walked into the Music Weaving Factory as if he had stepped into a concert hall. A large number of life-skill instructors and students from the Hundred Skills Academy were gathered there, all sitting quietly, listening with rapt expressions as Beruna played her instrument.
Beruna was now LV3. Lost in her own world, she was completely absorbed in her performance as beautiful music flowed from the piano weaving machine.
Wang Yi didn’t know what piece she was playing, but it was beautiful.
When the piece ended, unceasing applause broke out, and Wang Yi joined in.
Just then, an instructor stepped forward to collect the fabric the piano weaving machine had just produced.
"This fabric... it’s so exquisite!"
"Indeed. It’s like a magnificent painting. If I were a tailor, I wouldn’t have the heart to cut it!"
"Imagine the garments you could create with fabric like this!"
"Beruna’s craftsmanship is simply incredible..."
A group of life-skill instructors held the fabric from the piano weaving machine, heaping praise upon it and clicking their tongues in amazement.
Wang Yi stepped forward to inspect it. The piano weaving machine could produce 16 grades of fabric, and the one just produced was only the 12th grade.
Only then did the crowd notice Wang Yi’s arrival, and they all hurried to greet him.
Beruna also greeted Wang Yi, looking a bit flustered. When not playing her instrument, the Undead Musician seemed to suffer from social anxiety and rarely spoke.
"Excellent, excellent!"
Wang Yi rubbed the fabric Beruna had woven on the piano weaving machine and exclaimed in admiration. Then, a sudden idea struck him. "Beruna," he said, "I’m going to add some materials. I want you to see if you can weave fabric from them."
With that, Wang Yi opened his Starlight Bracelet and swiftly loaded the piano weaving machine’s material bay with Starlight Iron, Purple Jade Iron, Celestial Blue Iron, Ice Red Iron, Crystal Steel, Tao Steel, Glazed Steel, Snowflake Copper, Purple Gold Copper, Honey Copper, Dewdrop Silver, Red Silver, Orange Silver, Vein Gold, Flowing Gold, and Sub-gold!
The piano weaving machine allowed a maximum of 16 types of raw materials, and Wang Yi had just loaded in exactly 16.
These 16 materials were no ordinary resources. They were all native to Yamero Star and couldn’t be found anywhere else.
"Now, play your best piece!"
Wang Yi was filled with anticipation.
"Yes!"
Beruna bowed in acknowledgment, then sat properly before the piano weaving machine. She raised her delicate fingers and began to play.
The piece she played was the Overture of the Dead.
As she played, a ghastly wind began to blow and a black mist started to form. One by one, skeletons crawled out of the void and gathered around Beruna. They stood there blankly, staring at her intently as if they were a loyal audience.
Beruna was now LV3 and could summon three thousand Skeleton Soldiers.
The instructors and students of the Hundred Skills Academy were startled.
As the number of Skeleton Soldiers grew, the piano weaving machine began to dispense a bolt of fabric.
Wang Yi knew that Beruna was, in fact, an Undead. Wherever her music spread became her Music Domain, and playing the Overture of the Dead allowed her to summon an Undead Army within it. Therefore, he wasn’t surprised by the scene before him.
He curiously inspected the fabric produced by the piano weaving machine. It was, without a doubt, the highest 16th-grade fabric. It shimmered with starlight, had a metallic texture, and was covered in exquisite patterns.
Strangely, the patterns depicted a Starlight River, a cosmic Starry Sky, as well as mountains and plains—the very topography of Yamero Star, like a painted scroll.
Wang Yi’s Eye of Insight also retrieved some information.
Fabric: Red Light Quality. An extremely high-quality fabric that is super light, thin, and tough. Suitable for making outerwear. It is warm in the winter and cool in the summer. When tailored into a garment, it will automatically gain a costume effect.
’This is insane! If this fabric were made into clothes, they’d be invulnerable and impervious to fire and water!’
’Yamero is rich in resources,’ Wang Yi thought. ’All sorts of metal ores are so common you can practically just pick them up off the ground. But with Eggshell Village’s current production capabilities, we have no way to process them outside of the premium weapons factory. Even though we have these high-grade ores, we can’t use them, so they’re all just being stockpiled.’
’And now we can actually use them to weave fabric!’
’This is ridiculous!’
’But I love it.’
When the Overture of the Dead concluded, the Skeleton Soldiers vanished, and the bolt of fabric produced by the piano weaving machine was two meters wide and a full fifteen meters long!
"Beruna, you were amazing! A wonderful performance, truly wonderful! A round of applause!"
Wang Yi immediately led the applause. Afterward, he held up the fabric and shouted, "This fabric! I will name it ’Billion Light-Years’! Are there any tailoring or garment-making instructors and students here? Step forward, quickly!"
The Hundred Skills Academy’s tailoring instructor, Ye Jian, immediately stepped forward with a few students. He bowed and said, "Big Boss, I’m a tailor!"
"Good! Come take a look and see if you can make clothes from this fabric!"
After a quick inspection of the fabric, Ye Jian nodded. "Of course, we can!"
"Excellent. I need you to use this fabric to create standard-issue combat suits. The suits will be called the Outer Heaven Suit and the Flying Star Suit, and they’ll be issued to the Brocade Guard of the East and West Depots..."
Wang Yi had always wanted to outfit his Brocade Guard with actual brocaded uniforms.
’What kind of Brocade Guard doesn’t wear brocade?’ he thought. Recreating the Flying Fish Suit was difficult, but now they could try making an even stronger brocaded uniform.
He discussed the details with Ye Jian, describing the style of the Flying Fish Suit from film and television dramas as thoroughly as he could remember.
Ye Jian truly lived up to his title as a master tailor. He was a quick study and began working on the spot, swiftly producing an exquisite outer garment.
For this garment, he selected the section of fabric with the mountain and plain pattern. The result was visually stunning and automatically became a costume. The costume had no name, so following Wang Yi’s order, Ye Jian named it "Outer Heaven Suit." The system accepted the name, and it became the Outer Heaven Suit Costume, a super costume of Red Light Quality.
However, this was just a costume, not a piece of equipment. Thanks to the material’s properties, it was tough, solid, and resistant to swords and sabers, but it didn’t provide any other abilities.
