The Gentleman at the End-Chapter 347 - 346 First Acquaintance

Chapter 347: Chapter 346: First Acquaintance

Chapter 347: Chapter 346: First Acquaintance

Yi Chen was well aware that the “Epilepsy Syndrome” he suffered from was quite special, as no one in the history of the organization had ever had it, and it brought about significant brain enhancement.

Even during the breakthrough process, he underwent a complete restructuring of his brain structure, resulting in a black insane brain that transcended ordinary madmen.

This brain not only endowed Yi Chen with various traits of his profession—”Lecturer”—but also came with a passive spiritual defense; ordinary spiritual shocks could not affect the insane brain.

However, the recent contact had put Yi Chen directly to sleep.

“Was it because I wasn’t prepared beforehand?”

But even without preparation, my insane brain would passively organize against any form of thought invasion.

It seems certain that the gentleman in the carriage suffers from a sleep-related mental illness, and his main attribute from the Extreme Breakthrough should also be “Sensing,” at the same level as Reagan.

The reason I was affected might be due to my rather hasty sensory infiltration triggering the prohibition set inside the carriage, causing a backlash in thought.

Sleep-related elite gentlemen are somewhat easy to inquire about.”

Little Grape also arrived at the scene then, draping his arm covered in ember patterns on Yi Chen’s shoulder, establishing the same mental connection as before.

After obtaining the key information about the “Undead Carriage” from Yi Chen’s thoughts, he immediately looked ahead with the multiple eyes beneath his hood, using a type of tracking evil technique, successfully capturing a special carriage several streets away.

Due to sensing a potential hidden threat between the carriages, Little Grape did not rashly pry.

“The carriage headed for the Divine Skin Mansion; as for who is inside, I don’t know.”

“The Divine Skin Mansion?”

“Since your human organization has monsters like Zede, isn’t it normal to have other strong beings?”

Little Grape also changed the topic to itself, “How about this? I passed the human-sized organization’s Prophet exam in one go.

The Prophet identity and related privileges will be distributed later. By then I will own a Prophet House and also have access to high-level information.”

“Congratulations…”

Though Yi Chen offered his congratulations, his thoughts remained on the carriage, “Little Grape, how about accompanying me to the Divine Skin Mansion? I still need to ask the First Gentleman for the last of the skin to bring my skin content up to 100%.”

“Hey! You are being rather perfunctory with me, aren’t you going to arrange some celebration?”

“After coming out of the Divine Skin Mansion, how about I organize an ‘All-Eye Banquet’ for you? I’ll buy all the grapes left on the entire street and have them processed by a professional gentleman chef.”

“That’s more like it!”

After accepting the terms, Little Grape stretched out his hand and pressed it against Yi Chen’s neck, morphing into its most primitive fuzzy ball form and burrowing within, returning to their usual symbiotic state.

For Little Grape’s gentleman’s attire, it transformed into a scarf with ember patterns and trailing ashes wrapped around Yi Chen’s neck and mouth, adding a special British touch.

When crossing the black bridge guarded by gargoyles, the mysterious Undead Carriage had just returned, but the carriage was now empty.

As the carriage windows were open, Yi Chen even smelled a strong odor of sweat, which made him more curious about the mysterious person… after all, most gentlemen still pay great attention to personal hygiene.

After crossing the bridge, he entered the mansion as a Candidate.

Standing in the mansion’s hall, Yi Chen still couldn’t find the mysterious person, who had apparently gone deeper inside.

When Yi Chen expressed his desire to see the First Gentleman to request more “Gentleman’s Skin,” the attending clergy replied:

“The First Gentleman is currently receiving a guest. Please wait a moment.”

Clearly, there was a ninety percent chance that the so-called ‘guest’ was the one who had ridden in the Undead Carriage.

Yi Chen was not in a hurry and sat in the mansion’s hall to wait.

Half an hour later, the side door of the mansion’s hall was slowly pushed open.

A rush of sweat odor similar to that on the carriage wafted out; Yi Chen pretended to be indifferent, but had already had Little Grape activate full view to closely observe the mysterious person coming out of the side door.

Dirty and worn gentleman’s clothes,

His hair and beard seemed to have been roughly trimmed; some parts of the hair were still long while others were only buzz cut-length, and the beard was not completely shaved off.

However, his entire face was indeed visible,

the profound bags and dark circles under his eyes immediately brought to mind the keyword “insomnia,”

He was also unusually thin, with hollows on both sides of his cheeks,

Setting aside the issues above, his facial features looked passable.

Furthermore, this unkempt gentleman walked in a lazy and slow manner, even somewhat staggeringly, as if he could fall asleep on the ground at any moment.

As the other party approached, Yi Chen took the initiative to stand up and performed a standard gentleman’s bow.

“William Behrens, may I ask if you are also a candidate?”

The other did not immediately answer upon hearing this; instead, he lifted his eyes, surrounded by dark circles, and gazed closely at this unfamiliar young man, “Yodesapen Galon… Peeping at others while they sleep is ungentlemanly. Don’t do it again next time.”

“My apologies! If possible, may I invite you to a meal?”

“Ah, it’s quite troublesome. I don’t particularly enjoy dining with gentlemen whose ‘brains are developed’ like yours; it forces me to think about many things.

Let’s talk about it another time.

By the way, I am also a candidate~ We will soon meet again, best of luck, young man!”

Galon continued to move his body languidly, his unsteady form barely brushing past Yi Chen’s shoulder,

Yet this simple touch transmitted a strong sensation of Skin resonance, even entirely overpowering Yi Chen’s outfit (hidden Yellow Skin).

Undoubtedly, the seemingly worn clothes of the other party contained 100% Skin Content and also included special ingredient components.

A string of yellow text immediately appeared before Yi Chen’s eyes.

≮This man has a definite connection with the Skin Market; even if he hasn’t been there, he has killed someone directly related to the Skin Market’s Open Source Patients. The Skin worn on his body partially could not possibly be produced by your human ‘Connectors’≯

A drop of cold sweat also trickled down Yi Chen’s cheek, “Meeting such a strong contender at the onset? It seems becoming the First Gentleman is indeed no easy task.”

[Deep in the Mansion]

After ten days, Yi Chen was somewhat startled upon his return here, seeing the First Gentleman suspended by iron chains in the air looking even more aged than when they last met,

All hair had completely fallen out, the right eye and all teeth had completely fallen out, making him look like a grotesquely mutated giant living corpse.

Before Yi Chen could ascend the Altar, a decayed voice floated down:

“William, you must have encountered Galon, right?”

“Yes, I happened to meet him upstairs…”

“He is one of the candidates I favor the most. Be especially attentive to him during the selection process; otherwise, you might accidentally be eliminated.”

“Understood.”

“Moreover, I’m almost unable to hold on. The selection will be conducted in nine days.”

Yi Chen wanted to express his concern, but ultimately swallowed his words back. He knew nothing he said now would be of use, the only thing he could do was participate in the selection in his best condition.

He stepped forward to accept the final Skin, which would bring Yi Chen to 100% Skin Content.

Of course, this content was merely the threshold requirement to become the First Gentleman; how to control, use, and enhance the traits of the Skin was the real assessment.

As Yi Chen took the Skin, he couldn’t hold back and voiced the doubt in his mind, “That… Galon’s outfit seemed quite unusual?”

“Correct, he doesn’t like crowded places; therefore, he chose a remote town near the Northern Realm, far from the organization, as his private living area.

This remote and quiet location brought him an unexpected opportunity,

A Skin Slave from a ‘passageway’ nearby emerged, attempting to enslave his town. He killed it and thereby acquired its skin, which is of a higher grade than the ‘Gentleman’s Skin’ I obtained from the Skin Market.”

“I see, I will take it seriously.”

“Hmm… see you in nine days.”
