Xu Ke glanced at Claude and said, "It's more convenient for us when they're unconscious. Otherwise, if they struggle, they might damage the integrity of this skin." As Xu Ke spoke, he picked up the tools again, carefully handling the edges.
Hearing Xu Ke's words, Claude's dissatisfaction eased significantly. He began mimicking Xu Ke, carefully handling the piece of skin in front of him. Perhaps it was some innate talent, but surprisingly, Claude did a decent job for his first time skinning. A complete piece of skin was cut out, though it was a bit thicker compared to Xu Ke's paper-thin cut, which caused Claude to click his tongue in slight discontent.
"It's already great for your first attempt. With more practice, making cuts like mine is just a matter of time." Although Claude said nothing, Xu Ke seemed to know what he was thinking.
