Chapter 12 The Tailor Profession!
Chapter 12 The Tailor Profession!
After reading the information on the mission panel, Su Jinjin took a deep breath and gripped the handle of the sonic oscillation gun in her hand even tighter.
The cold touch of the gun reminded her of her current predicament.
In this perilous parasitic apocalypse instance, one weapon is far from enough.
She looked around at the abandoned buildings, and in the distance, she could faintly hear eerie, writhing sounds.
Su Jinjin bit her lower lip.
I'm preparing to awaken my class in the Parasitic Apocalypse dungeon.
"I hope to obtain a profession with combat capabilities."
Su Jinjin prayed silently in her heart.
With eyes closed and a firm voice, he declared: "A talent for working class!"
[The working-class talent is being unlocked...Awakening in progress!]
Su Jinjin held her breath.
[Ding! Awakening successful!]
[Congratulations to player - Working Class Talent - for awakening the Tailor skill in the Parasitic Apocalypse!]
The next second, a job description appeared in front of me:
Tailor Profession
Skill 1: Quick sewing
Effect: Combines special needles and thread to quickly mend items.
Skill 2: Clothing Making
Effect: Different clothes can be made from different materials.
Su Jinjin stared wide-eyed at the light screen in disbelief.
She mechanically repeated, "Tailor...tailor?"
At this moment, Su Jinjin's heart was in her throat.
Finally, after seeing the awakened class, I died completely.
"Are you kidding me! Tailor, are you planning to have me sew clothes in this dungeon?"
Su Jinjin wanted to cry but had no tears.
She really wanted to scream, but fearing it would attract the monsters in the dungeon, she quickly covered her mouth.
The rustling sounds coming from deep inside the mall reminded her that this was not the place to vent her emotions.
Su Jinjin leaned weakly against the broken counter, the sonic gun in her hand suddenly feeling incredibly heavy.
She imagined herself facing the parasitic monster. Would she have to fight with a needle in her hand?
"This talent is definitely messing with me..."
Su Jinjin shook her head with a wry smile.
"Maybe...maybe there's still a chance," she murmured to herself.
"Don't scare yourself. Maybe the tailor is more skilled than you think."
Su Jinjin recalled the Scavenger class she had awakened in the Alien Catastrophe dungeon. It sounded like just someone who collected scraps, but in reality, it possessed a space and the ability to modify weapons.
"Let's try out these two skills and see how they work," Su Jinjin took a deep breath and decided to test the class's abilities first.
The first skill is [Quick Sewing].
With a thought, she instantly conjured a slender silver needle in her hand, its end wrapped with nearly transparent energy threads.
She tried to wave it gently, and the needle tip cut through the air, creating a faint sound of wind breaking.
"Can quickly sew items together..." she murmured the skill description, her gaze sweeping over the mottled wall beside her.
Since we don't have any other materials right now, we might as well give this a try.
She raised her hand, pressed the silver needle against the wall, and gently pushed it—
"laugh!"
There was no resistance as expected; the silver needle pierced through the hard concrete as easily as piercing tofu.
Su Jinjin's pupils contracted slightly. With a flick of her wrist, the needle and thread flew swiftly through the wall, creating a neat crisscrossing line in the blink of an eye, as if it were not a cement wall but a piece of soft fabric.
"..." She stared blankly at her masterpiece, momentarily dazed.
How could this needle so easily pierce through a wall?
What if it were used to stab a person? Or some other creature?
For example, the parasitic monsters in this instance?
Thinking of this, Su Jinjin's lips curled up slightly, and a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes.
"Perhaps this tailor isn't as useless as I thought! Of course, there's still a lot of material to verify." Su Jinjin's eyes sparkled with excitement, as if she had discovered a new continent.
She immediately squatted down, picked up a hard piece of gravel, and gently traced it with her fingertip using a silver needle.
"laugh!"
The stone was pierced instantly. Thanks to her rapid sewing skill, Su Jinjin's hands moved so fast they were like a blur. Fine stitches spread out like a spider web, creating a unique pattern on the surface of the broken stone.
"Interesting! The quick sewing skill can also speed up the sewing process." She smiled slightly.
Then he picked up a broken steel bar, pressed the needle tip against the metal surface, and with a little force, the silver needle pierced through without any resistance, leaving a clear sewing mark on the steel bar.
"It can even penetrate metal?" Su Jinjin's heart raced. She immediately tried glass, plastic, and even a piece of discarded alloy plate—without exception, her [Quick Sewing] skill easily penetrated them all, as if these hard materials had turned into soft fabrics in front of her.
She looked down at the silver needle in her hand, and suddenly a thought struck her: "Since it can sew, then what if..."
With a thought, she tried to increase her energy output.
The silver needle trembled slightly, then began to extend and thicken, expanding in the blink of an eye into a slender, silver-white slender sword, its blade gleaming with a cold, sharp light, resembling a Western fencing sword specifically designed for close combat.
The transparent threads at the tail are as beautiful as ribbons.
Su Jinjin gripped the hilt of her sword, using the air in front of her as sewing material, and casually swung it—"Whoosh!" A sharp sound of wind breaking came from the air, and where the sword blade passed, even the light seemed to be sewn together.
"I'm such a genius! I'm sure all those novels and anime I read weren't for nothing." She couldn't help but laugh out loud.
This seemingly ordinary sewing needle can actually be transformed into a sharp weapon!
Just as Su Jinjin was about to try out the second skill of the [Tailor] class, [Clothing Making], her vision suddenly blurred, and black mist-like phantoms appeared at the edge of her field of vision.
She staggered and almost fell to the ground, but quickly grabbed the wall next to her to steady herself.
"What's going on..." She shook her head, trying to dispel the sudden dizziness, but the next second—
"Gurgle—"
A violent protest came from my abdomen, and my stomach convulsed as if being squeezed by an invisible hand.
Su Jinjin froze, instinctively pressing her hand to her stomach.
"??"
She had clearly made thorough preparations before entering the instance, not only eating and drinking her fill but also specifically replenishing her energy with high-energy foods.
Logically, it should last at least a whole day, so how could I be hungry so soon after arriving...?
Then, as if struck by a thought, Su Jinjin looked down at the fencing sword in her hand, which was made of silver needles. The blade still gleamed with a cold light, but at that moment it made her suddenly realize something.
"Could it be that increasing skill output will rapidly deplete energy, leading to hunger?"
As if to confirm her guess, another wave of stomach cramps came over her, and a strong feeling of hunger washed over her like a tide, even making her fingertips tremble slightly.
She immediately canceled the skill, and the silver needle fencing instantly turned into specks of light and dissipated into the air.
"call..."
Su Jinjin breathed a sigh of relief, but her hunger did not lessen.
She gritted her teeth, quickly rummaged through her scavenging backpack and pulled out a white steamed bun and a bottle of mineral water. Ignoring her image, she took a big bite.
