Chapter 108: Chapter 97 Sewing_3

Lin Wu nodded, "Yes, of course we’re friends."

Maya asked, "Then tell me what’s the point of chatting? If you’re friends, you don’t have to chat to stay friends. If you’re not friends, no amount of chatting will make you friends. It’s not about what you chat about, but what you do. Human actions are always more honest than words."

Lin Wu was stunned, finding himself at a loss for words in response to Maya’s statement. He stared dumbfounded at Maya, unable to think of a rebuttal for a long time, so he decided to play dumb: "You’re so beautiful."

Maya: "I know."

Damn! Turn his head, and ignore this person.

Maya: "If you can’t help but say it, I can listen."

Lin Wu had an epiphany: "A wise man listens well; a wise speaker forgets his words."

Maya did not answer, merely passing by with a light smile.

Lin Wu: "Can I drive?"

...

Sitting in the driver’s seat, Lin Wu was about to change gears when Maya said, "Adjust the rearview mirror."

Lin Wu: "Is that necessary? Apocalypse World."

Maya: "At the Sentry Card, you can use the rearview mirror to judge the distance between you and obstacles."

After driving for a while, Maya asked, "Do you struggle with estimating the car’s width, especially the position of the right front of the vehicle?"

Lin Wu nodded, "Yes."

"I’m sitting on the right front wheel," Maya said, lightly patting her right thigh near the car door, "This is where the wheel is."

Lin Wu took the lesson to heart.

At the Sentry Card, although Lin Wu could barely gauge the car’s width, Maya noticed that Lin Wu’s judgment of the car’s length was quite off. When there was still a significant gap on the right, Lin Wu, fearing he might scratch the right front, would turn too early. This caused insufficient space on the left, increasing the difficulty of turning and resulting in frequent scrapes against obstacles.

After passing the Sentry Card, Maya had Lin Wu reverse the car back, which cost another 10% of its durability. Maya stood in front of the car, using her calf, thigh, hips, and abdomen as measurements, and let Lin Wu judge the distance between the car’s front and herself. Initially, Lin Wu would stop the car when he could no longer see Maya’s calf, but once he got out, he found there was still a two-meter gap between the car and Maya.

After more than an hour of training, Lin Wu was able to pass through the Sentry Card and reverse out without any damage. Maya was very satisfied and got into the car; the two of them drove the smoke-belching Overlord back to base.

Sewing: Can make clothes, trousers, hats, and shoes in the clothes making space, increasing maximum life points by 20, and enhancing weight capacity by 10%. Once learned, manual crafts knowledge is automatically mastered.

Clothes making is more troublesome than everyone thinks. Using ordinary fabric or cotton, one can make a basic garment. To create a high-quality garment, one needs to upgrade the clothing, which requires quite a few materials, and there’s a chance the garment will be damaged if the upgrade fails.

There are also multiple upgrade paths. One focuses on warmth, primarily using cotton materials; the winter clothes scavenged from the tent area fall into this category of finished product.

Another path takes standard clothing as a baseline for upgrades. For example, suits, T-shirts, and dresses require different materials depending on the upgrade direction. The sailor uniform Lin Wu got from the navy store is a finished product of this type.

Clothings also have a special feature: whether it’s winter clothes, a sailor uniform, or clothes produced, they are only to be worn by one person. The same goes for beds; each person must have their own bed and cannot take turns resting in the same bed.

Depending on the level of sewing skill, the clothing made and upgraded will have various additional properties.

Sewing increases weight capacity. Weight capacity is directly related to Physical Strength. For players like Stone who didn’t add points to Physical Strength, the weight threshold is 30 kilograms, which includes the weight of weapons, clothing, backpacks, and the backpack itself. Exceeding the threshold increases stamina consumption by a percentage. Snow Egg, who has dual body limit addition points, has a weight threshold of up to 75 kilograms.
