193 Qualification Test (Part 1)
Although Old Li’s movements were very fast, the progress was delayed because of Ning Shi’s previous killing. It was already 10 o’clock in the evening when the two finished dealing with all the red-eyed rabbits.
Ning Shi knew that Old Li’s usual working hours were from four in the morning to three in the afternoon. Even when he was busy, he did not have more than 13 hours a day.
In order to accommodate himself, he worked from 3:30 in the morning to 10:00 in the evening.
Old Li clearly knew that Ning Shi’s killing in the day had delayed the progress of the work, but he had never urged or complained.
And he even guided him patiently.
He was really a good master.
After tidying up a little, Old Li said, “Let’s go back to our residence to take a bath. I’ve already instructed the Auntie to prepare dinner for us. After dinner, you still have to memorize and study. You can only sleep after midnight.
“You have to get up at 3:30 am tomorrow morning and start working at 4:00 am. You don’t get much sleep during this period. If you can’t take it, you can tell me.
“In theory, you’re still young, and you have the support of jelly meat, so there shouldn’t be any problems with your body.”
Ning Shi and Old Li had been together for a day and were more familiar with each other. He made a joke.
“Master, you’re already so old and you’re already able to hold on, so of course I’m fine.”
“You little brat, although I’m over 60 years old, I can eat, drink, and sleep. I’m very energetic.”
Old Li scolded with a smile. He took out a black smoke fruit from his pocket and threw it into his mouth.
The two of them returned to the bungalow and took a quick shower. They used the special soap produced by Blackbox Biotechnology Company to remove away the smell of blood on their bodies.
It was almost 11 o’clock when they finished dinner in the restaurant.
Old Li took out a thick stack of books and placed them in front of Ning Shi, saying, “A professional butcher must know the body structure and characteristics of all kinds of creatures like the back of his hand.
“We, the One Blade, call this technique the biochemical technique.
“In the vast starry sky, there are countless planets, and all kinds of creatures live there. Only by learning this knowledge and mastering the biochemical technique can one slaughter unfamiliar creatures precisely and accurately identify which parts of the creature are the most valuable.
“Then, you will maximize the use of the flesh and blood of these creatures to achieve the corresponding goal.
“In fact, the follow-up to the butcher profession…”
Old Li’s lips moved as if he wanted to continue, but after thinking for a while, he changed his words.
“The slaughtering technique is a small path, while biology is the main path. You believe in my words and learn the biochemical technique well. You will benefit for life in the future.”
Ning Shi nodded. He sensed that Old Li’s hesitation to speak just now probably involved his origin or the issue of the One Blade inheritance.
Since Old Li didn’t want to talk about it for the time being, Ning Shi didn’t need to ask.
Ning Shi picked up the first book and started to read it. It was An Illustrative Guide to the Origin Planet’s Biological Lineage.
The creatures on the origin planet were divided into different lineages according to their different characteristics, similar to the categorizations of the canines and felines on Saturn.
On the origin planet, there were many types of creatures.
This included radioactive creatures and primitive animals, crawling and upright creatures, polylegs, giant creatures, birds, and so on.
Just watching for a while, Ning Shi was completely engrossed.
The creatures on the origin planet were very powerful. Not only were there radioactive creatures but there were also powerful creatures among the primitive animals that were not radioactive that could defeat mech warriors.
Ning Shi started reading. His master, Old Li, didn’t go to rest, but sat quietly beside Ning Shi and played with his smart wristwatch.
On the origin planet, the function of a smart wristwatch was similar to a mobile phone on Saturn. Compared to a mobile phone, a wristwatch was more advanced and intelligent. It could project images above the wrist and launch controls by hand gestures and voice.
Originally, this smart wristwatch was a common product on the origin planet. Unfortunately, after the battle of the two cities, the technological civilization had regressed.
Many of the wristwatch technologies had been lost.
In addition, in order to resist radioactive creatures, all the resources of humans were concentrated on the construction of mechas and warships. The production of wristwatches for civilian life was relatively less.
As a result, the price of smart wristwatches was very expensive. The unit price of one smart wristwatch was more than 200000 origin coins.
To Old Li, it was just a month’s salary. He could afford it.
He played a small game on his smart wristwatch while answering Ning Shi’s questions from time to time. One taught and the other learned until 12:30.
A notification came from Ning Shi’s game system.
[ Under Old Li’s guidance, you have learned the butcher’s professional skill, the biochemical technique. The current skill level is biochemical technique Tier 1. ]
[ Biochemical technique: One of the core skills of the butcher profession. It includes the skills to distinguish the species of living creatures, the method to obtain special substances from the bodies of living creatures, and the means to understand the essence of life.
After learning for another half an hour, Old Li said, “That’s all for today’s study. You should go and rest first. Two hours of sleep is enough to restore your energy.
“Wake up at 3:30 and go to the long-tail chicken farm with me.”
Ning Shi nodded and came to the largest room on the second floor of the house.
Lying on the bed, he began to increase his skill points.
Although Old Li said that the biochemical technique was the great Dao and the core of the butcher profession, Ning Shi’s top priority now was to improve the efficiency of killing and increase his level at a faster speed.
In the short term, Ning Shi would still prioritize upgrading his slaughter technique.
[ Used 1 skill point to upgrade slaughter technique to Tier 2. ]
[ Consume 1 skill point to upgrade slaughter technique to Tier 3. After the slaughter technique is upgraded to Tier 3, 2 skill points are required for every level up. ]
