The Gentleman at the End-Chapter 338 - 337 Meeting the President
Chapter 338: Chapter 337 Meeting the President
Chapter 338 -337 Meeting the President
tailor, along with Doctor and Prophet, became one of the three major public professions,
It belonged to the earliest career system planned by the Organization,
Especially in the early days of the Organization, the profession of tailor was indispensable, as every gentleman needed garments made and repaired after battles.
In the early days, tailors held a very high status; however, as time passed, more and more tailor shops were established, and more gentlemen skilled in tailoring emerged, leading to a near saturation of tailors in the Organization about two hundred years ago.
As a result, the Organization began to raise the assessment standards for tailors while also dividing them into levels, similar to “Titles.”
At the same time, the tailor association directly affiliated with the Organization was founded to manage the entire tailor system.
Currently, the head of the tailor association is the overall person in charge, Fabrico Ter, and every new tailor who passed the assessment received their certificate from his hands.
Privately, the tailors all referred to Fabrico Ter as ‘President,’ ‘Boss,’ and even in their eyes, Ter was no less than the current First Gentleman.
That was why,
when Yi Chen suddenly produced Fabrico Ter’s card, this tailor he met for the first time almost fell off his seat in fright.
Although he had already settled in Zion as a tailor and was of higher status than many gentlemen, he was merely an entry-level apprentice in front of Fabrico Ter.
During the process of leading the way, the tailor occasionally glanced back at the two behind him,
Initially, his gaze had been on the young child, as the characteristics of the robe and the subtle ash color visible beneath were quite eye-catching,
but slowly, his gaze was pulled away by Yi Chen on the side, even maintaining a craned neck as he stared at the young man as if enchanted.
This made Yi Chen feel somewhat embarrassed.
“What are you looking at?” Yi Chen asked, prompting the other to realize his lapse in decorum.
“Sir, the craftsmanship of your clothing is truly perfect, especially the stitching at the collar, cuffs, and buttons. This is completely different from the tailoring I have learned, achieving an effect even better than what my textbooks describe.
I haven’t introduced myself yet, my name is Fabrico Ter! A Middle Level tailor, I have been running my own business for over five years.
I often participate in tailoring technical discussions hosted by the association and privately visit colleagues and veterans to learn sewing techniques, but I have never seen this style of stitching.
May I know which master crafted the garment you are wearing?”
“That, I cannot disclose, I can only tell you this tailor is not from the market, nor is he currently managed by the Organization or the association.”
“A retired master, perhaps? He probably doesn’t want to be disturbed, what a pity… The entrance to the tailor association is just at the next street corner, Lord Spacy is usually inside.”
“Thank you.”
The association was built in the center of the market,
upon presenting Fabrico Ter’s special Identity Card, it immediately garnered the attention of the association, and a person was promptly designated to lead the way,
Since the tailor examination was conducted here, the hall was filled with many young gentlemen, who were registering and undergoing the most basic tests, and those who passed could participate in a unified inspection at the beginning of the next month.
Furthermore, the architecture of the association was quite special, the wallpaper was made of Gentleman’s Skin.
Of course, it was only made from scraps with a Skin Content of no more than 20%, since the Organization would not waste resources just to highlight the specialty of a place.
As Yi Chen stepped into a certain passage, he ran his hand over the comfortable textured Skin wallpaper, and could not help but remark, “The Skin Content is evidently very low, yet the texture and the insulating effect it provides are exceptionally good.”
The gentleman leading the way explained, “This Skin doesn’t come directly from the Divine Skin Mansion, but is a type of imitation skin derived from scraps by President Spacy himself, and although the Skin Content is low, it includes his own attributes.”
“I see.”
“The President is waiting for you in a room at the very end of this passage.”
“Very well.”
As they delved deeper, even the floor of the passage gradually transformed into a skin structure, getting softer, giving a sensation of walking on another person’s skin, even feeling the natural warmth of a human body.
When Yi Chen pushed open the unlocked doors,
instantly, there was a feeling of stepping into a sea of skin, with layers of soft waves spreading out beneath his feet.
The young child felt the same way.
With a massive wave of skin surging from behind, it directly carried the two people deep into the sea of skin.
Madness Brain activated, clearing the thought influences brought by the skin on Yi Chen.
In the blink of an eye,
Yi Chen and Little Grape had already moved from the doorway to the deeper part of the room, where President Spacy was tailoring a piece of his everyday clothing in front of them.
President Spacy’s appearance was entirely different from this morning at the Glory Hall,
Due to his uncontrollable full-body skin proliferation, his folded, stack-layered skin was swollen and cumbersome. To reduce the burden of these folds, he wore a flesh-colored, full-body skin suit in his daily life.
The skin suit even covered his head, only exposing the mouth, nostrils, and two eyes.
The design of the skin suit aimed to shape Spacy, making him appear less bulky.
However, the folds on his abdomen were too many, and even when tightened by the skin suit, it still looked like he was sporting a super big belly.
Paired with the skin suit’s marbled coloring, this style really posed an aesthetic challenge for Yi Chen, but he had to act as if everything were normal.

Before Yi Chen could speak, Spacy spoke first,
“Your friend is wearing the attire of the Original Church, it seems he is greatly admired by the Archbishop. Do you want me to help make his clothing?”
Yi Chen quickly explained,
“Mainly, it’s me who came for the appointment, to consult you, President, on some issues regarding skin. As for Little Grape, Mr. Spacy could just arrange for one of your tailors to customize some clothing for him.
It’s just that Little Grape’s body is a bit special; regular clothing might not suffice.”
As Yi Chen said this, Little Grape also lifted his hood, revealing his ashen face and dozens of chaotically arranged eyeballs.
“Hmm… This is indeed a bit challenging, but no big problem.”
Spacy made a stomping motion with his foot, and a wave of skin spread along the floor,
Soon, a female tailor with disheveled hair and somewhat untidy apparel, even wearing thick glasses, came to the door.
“President, what do you need?”
“Jessica, attend to this guest. His body is somewhat special; you try making it first. I believe with your skills you should be able to handle this kind of scorched flesh body. Remember to consider the guest’s special eye requirements.”
The female tailor, walking barefoot and holding up her thick glasses, was completely unfazed by the evil and dangerous aura emitted by Little Grape, observing him closely.
A few minutes later, she made an OK gesture.
She even took the initiative to take Little Grape’s hand and led him to her tailor’s room, or rather, her experimental lab at the association. Of course, the moment she took his hand, the female tailor also donned a pair of gloves instantly.
In her eyes, this was a high-level challenge given by the president, and she absolutely could not fail.
After the two had left, Spacy said,
“Jessica is one of my most promising students. She is best at handling these unconventional clothing customizations and should be able to make a suitable outfit for your friend.
Additionally, she is also a candidate for the ‘First Gentleman’; she will be your competitor in time.”
“Hmm? She’s a candidate as well?”
“Jessica’s Skin Content reached 100% three months ago. Her understanding of mutant leather and some non-human clothing production can even surpass me.
You should be careful around her; aside from making clothes, she is quite dangerous.
Let’s now discuss our matters.
Zede once saved my life in the Nightmare Incident. Since you are his student, I will also treat you as a temporary student.
But… time is scarce; I have already received reliable news from the Divine Skin Mansion that the selection for the ‘First Gentleman’ will happen in a month.
Claude is hardly holding on.”
“Good…” Yi Chen had anticipated this, having a month was already quite good.
“First, show me your ‘Restriction Removal’.”
