Chapter 207: Leather Gear

It takes anywhere from 24 to 48 for wet leather to dry completely. However it’s important to note that the leather should be dried slowly and naturally, without the use of direct sunlight or heat, as this cause the leather to become stiff, brittle, or crack.

But with the drying room, there was no need to wait that long or take any factors into consideration making it easier for the Aunties to finish drying the first batch.

Seeing the landowner had arrived, Aunt Su unhooked the dried hide of silver-back raptor hanging on the beams and placed it on the table where the rest was already waiting for Li Chunhua’s inspection.

Aunt He closed the oven and let the heat dispersed to the chimney.

Crocodiles’ skins were tougher to process than the other hides but the tools in the tannery room lighten the burden and they were able to scrape the skin clean with a fleshing knife, spoke shave, stiff cleaning brush using the minimal effort and without the need of chemicals.

A total of 20 units of leather neatly folded and stack on top of each other.

[Silver-Back Raptor Leather- Silver Grade]

"Silver-Grade? It upgraded?" Li Chunhua exclaimed and blinked a few times to ascertain that it was not a hallucination. Isn’t this supposed to be bronze-grade?

"We had the same reaction a while ago too. After the hides were taken out of the toggle frames and hooks, these were the result." Aunt Su explained with a smile. Apart from it, they were able to acquire a life skill.

[Beginner Tannery- Reduces the processing, drying time and waste by 5%. Improves the quality of leather by 5%]

Li Chunhua was glad of the hidden effects of the tailoring shop.

She caressed the silver-scaled skin giving off a metallic sheen. The incredibly smooth and supple texture under the tip of her fingers was akin to touching a piece of silk.

Long Haoran also touched one. If he didn’t know these were made from the crocs, he would have thought it was a flattened metal.

"Landowner, the material is light and flexible it will not hinder the user’s movements. We also tried to test to use a bronze quality dagger to make a scratch but it didn’t leave any mark." Aunt Su explained.

Normally they would need to boil the leather to harden it for shaping before making the parts of the armor but the Elf assured them that it was not necessary anymore.

"Landowner, can I take your size? I’ll make armor in the workshop." Aunt Su suggested.

"Can we watch?" Li Chunhua was very curious of the process of making gear. Long Haoran’s also waited for the Auntie’s response. He wanted to learn the craft.

"Yes, you can." Aunt Su nodded and the group transferred the leathers to the workshop. Li Chunhua and Long Haoran helped them.

There are many gear you could make from leather aside from the armor, like gloves, gauntlets pouches with a space-folding function. The lowest white quality has half cubic meter storage. One can also make sheaths, footwear, saddle, arrow quivers and gun holsters.

It might seem that storage pouches were redundant and useless since players have unlimited slots but in the dungeons, secret realms, treasure islands, and those place that forbids players’ access to inventory, this gear was needed, making them highly sought.

She remembered the first to ever sell the space pouch was the Celestial Palace. They were also the first to make silver-quality gear.

Thanks to the succubus’s skills, they were able to gain advantage and finished the tide earlier and with fewer casualties.

[Workshop- Increase the chance of successfully crafting an equipment by 15% and has the 3% of granting special properties]

Li Chunhua and Long Haoran stood not far from the Aunties, watching their actions attentively.

Aunt He laid the prepared template patterns of the armor on the hide and traced their edges using a marker. Afterwards they cut the hide following the marks using a [Rotary Cutter].

They separated the pieces into leather torso, shoulders, bracers, leg greaves and leg tassets.

One of the Aunties went to search for something on the drawers and came back with two [Thick Needles], [White Wax Thread], [Stitching Groover], [Stitching Wheel] and [Sewing Awl].

"There are no stitching pony and leather glue." The Aunt spoke in disappointment.

"Not to worry. Look at the wax thread." Aunt Su pointed.

[Wax Thread- When sewn on the fabric it becomes highly adhesive]

The Aunt was relieved and surprised at the same time.

Aunt Su took over the job and grabbed the stitching wheel to mark the edges before using a sewing awl to make the holes bigger for the thread to pass through.

Aunt He handed the two needles attached with the thread before stepping back to give Aunt Su space.

Aunt Su without the help of a stitching pony and only stitching groover found it hard at first but soon adapted.

It took Aunt Su roughly 40 minutes to make the armor with a spaulder.

Aunt Su wiped the sweat dribbling down from her forehead, nervous if the gear was a failure or not. Thankfully, Li Chunhua, who was a secretly luck-buff type walking treasure magnet, was in the room.
