Chapter 108: Chapter 107: Matching with Other Races
Li Ruanyu drove off in a flash.
Zhao Chi was still processing the new information.
’It seems this Body Driving Technique isn’t as simple as I thought.’
Its most common use was on the Undead Race.
Especially Human-shaped Undead.
The match rate was 60-80%.
You could enhance the body with 60-80% of your own Abilities.
And you could also utilize 60-80% of the body’s Abilities.
Total strength became 120-160% of the original, which was a net enhancement.
Moreover, the Undead had no thoughts of their own, so cooperation could be over 95%.
There was no risk of mistrust leading to souls devouring each other.
But with an Intelligent Race...
The match rate was as high as 80-95%.
But cooperation was only 50%.
This way, although you could stack abilities to 180-190%...
...the mutual distrust would make you hold back.
And there was the danger of souls attacking and tearing at each other.
Zhao Chi felt he was very lucky.
’First, Tang Ruan has a 100% match rate and 100% cooperation.’
’It’s like a perfect, stacked enhancement of two people.’
’Plus, Tang Ruan’s trust in me is beyond ordinary. It’s actually quite touching.’
It didn’t make sense, but Zhao Chi accepted it.
Many things didn’t make sense.
When they happened, you just had to accept them.
And since this was beneficial to him, Zhao Chi accepted it happily.
’Second, just now when I was driving Tang Ruan, I accidentally entered the Great World.’
’But the system didn’t detect it at all.’
’If that’s the case, could I use this situation to do more convenient things in the future?’
’Like, go to the black market to Trade?’
’Of course, there are black markets here too.’
’Because they’re tax-free.’
’And they sell contraband.’
’Wherever there are unreasonable rules, places will pop up to break them in secret.’
’Black markets have been busted one after another.’
’But they always grow back like stubborn weeds.’
Zhao Chi knew of a few, but he’d never dared to go.
He wasn’t just afraid of being arrested by the authorities.
He was also afraid of the people in the black markets.
After all, they were people who operated outside the rules; it was inevitable that there would be dangerous elements among them.
’To this day, some of those black markets have been destroyed, but two still exist in secret.’
’If I need to, I can just drive one of them and go there.’
’At that time, my appearance will be that of Tang Ruan or Gu Qing.’
’My Identity and Attribute information will also be theirs.’
’Even if someone uses a skill to inspect me, they won’t detect Zhao Chi’s information.’
’I won’t be exposed at all.’
’Besides, their Attributes are extremely high, so it’ll be easy to get around.’
’If I wear a Mask on top of that, it’ll be even safer.’
’Unfortunately, I don’t have any goods to Trade on the black market right now.’
’And I don’t have any money to buy things either.’
’I’ll start making the Silk Stockings in a bit.’
’Then I’ll finish the Improvement and sell them.’
’Of course, I’ll have to make a distinction between the for-sale version and the for-personal-use version.’
’I’ll figure out the rest later.’
After watching Li Ruanyu leave, Zhao Chi returned to the house.
He locked the door and entered his territory.
In the territory, everyone was still bustling with activity, modifying the Carefree Spring.
Zhao Chi entered the tailor shop, carrying a large wooden basin full of pale yellow Spider Silk.
The combined output from Gu Qing’s recent efforts was enough to fill a wooden basin.
Zhao Chi carefully moved the Spider Silk into the large wooden basin.
Then, he poured the Swan Mushroom Juice into warm water, added a small amount of Moon Jelly, and gently stirred until it was evenly mixed.
He slowly poured the mixture over the clumped Spider Silk.
Soon, many fine, delicate silk threads appeared at the edges of the spider silk.
This was the Spider Silk with its stickiness removed.
But it would take about 1 hour for the whole basin to lose its stickiness.
Zhao Chi turned and walked out of the tailor shop.
He activated his Body Driving Technique but didn’t use it.
Instead, he looked around at the women outside.
[Target Body] Gu Qing
[Body Match] 100%
[Target Cooperation] 100%
[Current Control] 15%
’Just as I thought. Gu Qing is also double 100%.’
’I’ve only driven her once, so my control is only at 15%. A few more times should raise it.’
Gu Qing was swinging a shovel.
"My Lord, what are you looking at from behind me? Which part of me do you like looking at the most?"
Zhao Chi shook his head. "I like looking at all of it. Didn’t you say you needed to calm down and digest the new knowledge? What are you doing out here digging?"
Gu Qing sighed. "That new knowledge made it impossible for me to calm down. I feel like there’s a fire in my heart, and I can only release it through work."
"Alright... Keep up the good work."
"Yes, My Lord can look wherever he wants."
Out of politeness, Zhao Chi could only continue to watch for a little while longer.
Afterward, he went over to the other women.
[Target Body] Li Zhu
[Body Match] 100%
[Target Cooperation] 88%
[Current Control] 0%
Li Zhu had arrived a few days ago, and her Loyalty was at 7 points.
Her cooperation was 88%.
Although it was far from Tang Ruan’s and Gu Qing’s, it was still quite high.
’If it becomes necessary in the future, I can use her Body too.’
Zhao Chi walked a circle around the women.
He discovered that the Body Match for all of them was 100%.
’It seems all these women of the Peach Blossom Human Race are the same; they’re all very suitable for me to drive.’
’The only difference is their cooperation.’
’The highest are Gu Qing and Tang Ruan, that goes without saying.’
’Next are the women who arrived a few days ago, like Ding Dang, Feng Xiu, Fang Li, and the others.’
’Their cooperation all exceeded 85%, which is very good.’
’The newcomers are a bit lower.’
’Their cooperation is around 60%.’
’Once we get a little more familiar with each other, it should be able to break 80%.’
After checking all the women, Zhao Chi walked to the side.
The two wild dogs were frolicking, running back and forth.
[Target Body] Wild Dog
[Body Match] 35%
[Target Cooperation] 12%
[Current Control] 0%
’Even the wild dogs have a 35% match rate.’
’Their cooperation is really low, though, only 12%.’
Zhao Chi looked up and saw the Harpies in the trees.
[Target Body] Harpy
[Body Match] 56%
[Target Cooperation] 41%
[Current Control] 0%
’This is quite a surprise.’
’The match rate is over 50%. Is it because their upper bodies are female?’
’So they count as half a Human?’
These Harpies were all quite timid.
Their cooperation wasn’t that low.
’If that’s the case, Goblins are also timid. I bet their cooperation wouldn’t be too low either?’
’But who would want to enter a Goblin’s body?’
But then again...
Even for weak wild dogs, Harpies, and Goblins, their Soul Strength wasn’t necessarily weaker than a Human’s.
Soul Power and physical strength were two completely different things.
If he wanted to forcibly occupy their bodies, Zhao Chi wouldn’t necessarily win.
Finally, he looked toward the Naga.
[Target Body] Naga
[Body Match] 62%
[Target Cooperation] 3%
[Current Control] 0%
The Naga’s match rate was 62%, which was fairly high.
But, as expected, they were still defiant.
Their cooperation was only 3%.
Although they were hungry, their pride made them extremely resistant internally.
’However, while their upper bodies have the form of human women, their lower bodies are serpentine.’
’Perhaps this serpentine figure allows them to eat a large amount at once and then go for a long time without food?’
But their snake bodies had already shrunk a little.
’If they won’t submit, they can starve for another two days.’
Zhao Chi had plenty of Time.
Soon, an hour had passed.
’The Spider Silk should have lost its stickiness by now.’
’Time to start making the Silk Stockings.’
’Let’s see just how much the performance has improved.’
