Otherworld Bone Dragon Operation Guide

Chapter 47 Clothing
"You also need to know your upper and lower bust measurements?"

In the reception room, Zijin, who had just set the table, looked at Su Ming, who was strolling over with a measuring tape in hand, with an unfriendly expression, her eyes slightly narrowed.

"Uh, the sales clerk asked me that," Su Ming said, feigning innocence.

"A girl's physical data is very private!"

"There's nothing I can do about it," Su Ming replied. "This is the first time I've ever bought clothes for a girl."

Violet took a deep breath, measured it for him, and said, "Forget about it later!"

"OK! But there's still the leg circumference."

"Huh?" The girl glared at him. "I remember the dress you picked out for me?"

“I swear, it is indeed the data required for clothing,” Su Ming replied.

"39 centimeters." This time, Violet gave the measurement directly, then turned her head and ignored him.

Su Ming didn't mind; he had indeed been biased in his choice of clothing. Anyway, once the sizes were all collected, the deliveryman received all the clothes and delivered them to the designated location.

"Just leave it on the ground?" The deliveryman was in the industrial park but didn't see the employer who was supposed to come and make the handover, so he sent a message to ask.

"Yes, you can walk on it after putting it on the ground."

"Okay, please confirm receipt and be sure to give a five-star review." The deliveryman guessed that this might be someone with a special fetish who was embarrassed to hand over the goods in person, so he didn't insist any further.

"no problem!"

Having successfully obtained the clothes, Su Ming began preparing materials on the Zhiyuan. He couldn't touch Zi Jin's clothes, so he had to rummage through the crate to find his own. A few days ago, when salvaging the Four-Eyed Jenny, he had also retrieved its sails. Su Ming cut off a piece and dragged over a hemp rope.

But it was still incomplete. Su Xiang thought of the captured captain of the Four-Eyed Jenny; the fabric of his clothes looked quite high-quality, so he called over a strong and powerful zombie to strip him of the clothes.

This zombie was too honest in its work, so Su Ming selected the useful ones and sent the rest back.

In short, having gathered all the materials, Su Ming began the summoning process, adjusting the size of his suit skirt as he did so. When the runes' light faded, a pile of various garments appeared before him.

Su Ming tried on his own first; it fit perfectly, and the black color looked cool. He liked wearing camouflage at the factory; the numerous small pockets were perfect for storing all sorts of odds and ends, convenient for stuffing nuts and tools—much more practical than work clothes. He was often mistaken for a security guard because of it, but this outfit was much more high-quality and stylish—to be mistaken for someone at least the security captain, he thought.

Then came the violets. Su Ming put them all into a bag and carried them all away for her.

The girl casually accepted it. She glanced at the already decorated reception room and decided to take a shower first.

Finding that all the preparations were complete and there were still more than two hours before the visitors arrived, Su Ming suddenly felt a sense of ease. He enjoyed the breeze, looked at the blue water, and felt a sense of boundless freedom.

Fighting with my eyelids.

So Su Ming used bones to build a recliner, set up a parasol, and started catching up on sleep.

****
"Su Ming!" Zi Jin's voice startled him awake. He turned his head and saw a girl with her hair tied in a side ponytail, wearing a beige-gray patchwork suit dress and white stockings, walking towards him in the dazzling white sea breeze.

For a fleeting moment, Su Ming thought he had returned to Earth and was having the illusion of bumping into a stunningly beautiful woman on a trendy street. But when he saw her casually break off a thick, long bone stick from the railing, he quickly tumbled off the recliner and scrambled away on all fours. Sure enough, the recliner was smashed to pieces the next moment.

Zi Jin once said that she was not good at hand-to-hand combat, and Su Ming naively believed it at the time, until he saw her fighting with Iser and wielding a greatsword with one hand to cleanly cut her opponent into the sea—maybe she was "not good at" it, but she could easily kill a hundred Su Mings!
Without hesitation, Su Ming rolled to his feet, cast a shield around himself, and summoned a bone wall to stand in front of him. Zi Jin would "train" Su Ming like this whenever there was a spare moment to improve his ability to deal with attacks. After being severely punished a few times, Su Ming had now learned to behave much better.

Boom! Snap!
The next moment, bone fragments flew everywhere. Violet's side kick shattered the bone wall and struck Su Ming, who slid more than ten meters on the deck before crashing into the wall and coming to a stop.

Through the fluttering hem of her skirt, Su Ming could even see the lace trim of her stockings and light-colored safety shorts peeking out.

“The pleated skirt part is very suitable for movement.” Zi Jin walked step by step to Su Ming, her face as calm as frost. “I like this dress very much, but the rest, these stockings, underwear—there’s nothing fishy about them, is there, Mr. Su Ming?” She said, word by word.

Behind Su Ming, a zombie had already disintegrated. He had just seized control of the zombie from the bone mark and designated it as the target of damage transfer.

Bang! The bone club slammed into Su Ming's ear.

"No, I just think you look good dressed like this." Su Ming swallowed.

"……real?"

“Really!” Violet paused, dropped the bone club, and turned around.

"I'm hungry."

"I'll cook right away!" Su Ming quickly got up, put his phone back in his pocket, and rushed to the kitchen.

****
Dinner was still seaweed soup and fish, just with a different type of seaweed.

After eating this for several days, the two were getting tired of fish. Thinking that they would meet with the people from the Four Directions Merchant Guild soon and be able to ask for supplies, and that the days of monotonous food would soon be over, the two became more and more eager for the arrival of visitors. However, they sat on the bridge and waited and waited until night fell, but no ships appeared at sea.

Violet activated her omniscient vision and glanced at the radar. "Why are they even farther away from us now?"

Su Ming thought for a moment, then slapped his forehead, "I'm running at 13 knots, they can't catch up with me."

The girl smiled and said, "I've forgotten that I'm now the fastest ship at sea."

“Then I’ll go moor the boat,” Su Ming said.

Zijin stopped him, "No need, let them chase after us." She continued, "Slow down tomorrow morning. The people who come will definitely be negotiating, it's good to give them a warning first."

Su Ming nodded. He lay back on the deck, listening to the crashing waves and watching the stars begin to emerge in the sky. The moon hadn't risen yet; the black night sky was the domain of the stars.

"Are we safe now?" Su Ming asked.

"Well, as long as we don't do anything stupid." Zijin brushed a strand of hair that had been ruffled by the wind. "Next, we'll strengthen ourselves and gradually improve our survivability so we can start collecting the materials for the dimensional portal."

"pretty good."

Su Ming closed his eyes and switched to the little troublemaker's side.
-
First, we went to see the secondhand ship. According to the address, the journey was about 1700 kilometers, and we could catch a ride at night.

Su Ming easily opened the railway website and searched for the timetable. The only problem was that there were no high-speed trains on this section of the route at night; he would need to take a bullet train first, and then transfer to a regular express train.

Including waiting time and transfer time, I won't arrive at my destination until tomorrow morning at the earliest.

After explaining the route to Miao Xin, Su Ming took out his phone and opened a shopping platform.

"Hi, what else do you need?" The customer service representative at the ship design studio was very enthusiastic when they saw a returning customer.

This is the shop that made the wing sail for him last time. As for the shop that originally designed the Zhiyuan, Su Ming immediately cut off contact with it.

“I need to design a catamaran,” Su Ming stated, adding, “The faster the better.”

"No problem!" the customer service representative replied. "We're very good at this!"

This was quite a task, and the customer service representative was very happy.

However, when the customer service representative saw Su Ming's specific requirements, questions arose in their mind: "Why is it still steam power? Dear customer, use a diesel internal combustion engine; its overall performance is much better!"

Do you offer free shipping on diesel fuel?

"Um, dear, we don't sell diesel fuel."

"Then let's use a steam engine."

****
The following morning, Su Ming docked the ship as planned. The black skeleton servant followed him into the control room and began learning some basic operations.

The propeller speed gradually decreased. Su Ming checked the wind speed; it was less than 10 knots. This meant that the Four Directions Merchant Guild's sailboat could only manage a maximum of 5 knots, and it would be dark by the time they caught up.

Having grown accustomed to racing against naval fleets at breakneck speed, Su Ming found the sudden decrease in speed somewhat disorienting. The thought of having to eat fish and seaweed all day again dampened his spirits.

Miao Xin contacted her, saying the mission was complete and she had arrived at the target dock with the little troublemaker.

Su Ming lay back in the chair, switching his focus to Earth.
