Chapter 300: Chapter 264: Metamorphosis (9)
There was one major problem when using the Body Driving Technique on Qi Yue for production.
The Energy consumption was enormous!
Zhao Chi was essentially multitasking, having to control four arms.
The Energy consumption was several times higher than normal.
Even with the high Energy bonus from Qi Yue’s Bloodthirst, it wasn’t enough to cover the massive drain.
Perhaps once he got used to multitasking, he would be able to conserve a lot more Energy.
But it wasn’t just a severe loss of Energy; her Morale and Mood were also tanking.
After using six Speeding Charms, they couldn’t continue any longer.
Theoretically, they should have been able to use about twelve in a row.
After all, Zhao Chi’s Constitution had risen to 6 points, and Qi Yue was helping him bear the discomfort.
But now, Qi Yue’s Morale and Mood were just too low.
Her production Efficiency had also plummeted.
It wasn’t that they couldn’t keep going, but that the Efficiency was abysmal.
It was time to rest.
Qi Yue was wracked with guilt. "I’m sorry, my Lord. It’s my fault. I’m slowing you down."
Zhao Chi comforted her. "Don’t say that. These things are out of your control. You’ve already done an amazing job. Let’s take a break and then continue."
Qi Yue replied, "Really, my Lord? I feel like crying right now."
Her Morale was just too low.
Her Mood was also extremely dejected.
The Mood bonus from the Carefree Spring and her Vampire skill were still effective.
But the penalties had completely negated all of them.
The only solution was to rest.
Zhao Chi could clearly feel her deep self-reproach and her dispirited state.
Zhao Chi had experienced this same feeling the first time he’d tried to craft by himself.
There was truly no fighting the system’s rules.
Afterward, Zhao Chi had always worked with Tang Ruan. That kind of feeling had been canceled out by Tang Ruan’s masochistic tendencies, so Zhao Chi hadn’t felt anything like it since.
’Looks like Tang Ruan and Qi Yue each have their own unique traits,’ he thought.
Qi Yue was suited for burst production, able to create a large number of finished products in a short amount of time.
Tang Ruan was suited for steady production, able to work for long periods until the very last drop of her stamina was drained.
The Body Driving Technique’s duration expired, and Zhao Chi separated from Qi Yue’s body.
The beautiful Qi Yue’s brow was furrowed with worry.
Zhao Chi couldn’t help but feel a pang of pity.
He quickly went up and wrapped his arms around her, comforting her at length.
Qi Yue had, in truth, already done an excellent job.
If it were an Ordinary person, like Zhao Chi crafting by himself, the efficiency would be nowhere near what it was when using the Driving Skill on Qi Yue—at least five times worse.
She had absolutely no reason to blame herself.
After Zhao Chi’s consolation, Qi Yue’s Mood and Morale recovered a little.
"Alright, let’s both get some rest. A good night’s sleep will fix everything."
Qi Yue didn’t let go, holding onto him in his embrace.
"My Lord, can you stay with me for a little while? Please?"
"Of course."
"Can you hold me while we sleep?"
"No problem!"
Zhao Chi didn’t waste any time.
He carried her directly into the Lord’s House.
He had genuinely intended to just get a good night’s sleep, but when Zhao Chi took off his clothes and held Qi Yue...
...that exquisite softness and warmth washed over him again.
Zhao Chi immediately grew aroused.
Qi Yue said, "My Lord... you don’t have to hold back. Come, I’m willing."
"But I just... with you... during the battle this afternoon. You’re still injured down there."
"Sister Gu Qing already healed me so it wouldn’t affect the battle."
"Oh, is that so."
"Mhm, come, my Lord."
Qi Yue turned over, but her low spirits still made her look at Zhao Chi with a heart-wrenchingly pitiful expression.
Seeing her like this, Zhao Chi felt a bit reluctant to go through with it.
But on the other hand, he found it a little stimulating.
’It feels like I’m bullying her.’
’But she’s also being extremely proactive.’
’Well then, let’s do it.’
"Qi Yue, this time, no matter how ’fragrant’ you find the Genetics, don’t eat it again. Absorb it with your body to activate the skill."
"Mhm, I understand. Don’t worry."
Qi Yue nodded obediently.
And she really did it.
Or you could say, Zhao Chi helped her do it.
In that moment, she almost forgot who she was.
She was lost in wave after wave of extreme bliss.
Zhao Chi successfully completed the transfer.
Qi Yue’s eyes were hazy as she stared blankly at Zhao Chi.
Her heavy breathing gradually calmed.
"Alright, Qi Yue, rest for a bit. And remember to absorb it, and you’ll be able to activate a new skill."
"...Mhm."
Qi Yue hummed softly.
He wasn’t sure if she had really understood him.
In any case, the Genetics could be absorbed within 24 hours, so it was fine if she did it a little later.
Zhao Chi pulled away from Qi Yue.
But Qi Yue swallowed hard.
"My Lord... is it over?"
Zhao Chi froze.
’What does she mean by that?’ he wondered.
’Is she still not satisfied?’
He checked his system. He had already helped Qi Yue gain 4 Energy Points. It wasn’t a lot, but it should be enough, right?
Zhao Chi said, "It’s over. If you’re not satisfied, just wait a little while for me..."
Qi Yue giggled. "I’m satisfied, of course I’m satisfied. If it’s over, then... can I eat the little bit that’s left?"
"The little bit that’s left?" Zhao Chi looked down. "There’s nothing left. I gave it all to you."
Qi Yue swallowed again.
Her face flushed red as she pointed at it.
"Isn’t there still some stuck on it? Can I eat it?"
"This... If you want to, then of course I have no objection."
"Hee hee, then I won’t be polite."
Qi Yue, who had been limp and weak just a moment ago, actually sat up.
Like a cat, she leaned down and licked him completely clean.
Zhao Chi couldn’t help but sigh inaudibly a few times.
He truly felt like he was ascending to heaven.
It seemed Qi Yue was ascending to heaven, too.
She hugged him with a look of pure satisfaction on her face.
Zhao Chi saw that her ’Extreme Favor’ State had been partially replenished.
’So all it takes is that tiny bit of Genetics to replenish this State of hers.’
’I can use this method in the future, then.’
’Even if it can’t fill it up completely, every little bit counts. It’s better than letting it go to waste.’
Qi Yue, nestled in his arms, said the same. "So, my Lord, you agree to let me do this from now on?"
