209 Old Li’s Choice (Part 2)
“However, as mechas evolved and evolved, they became more and more powerful. The top mecha masters could destroy a planet with one shot.
“There was a limit to human strength, but mecha technology had unlimited potential.
“All sorts of martial arts schools were gradually submerged in the long river of history. A hundred schools of thought competing for power had become the dominant mecha master. By now, there were very few people who knew the secret of the butcher profession.
“In the eyes of the public, butchers are a lowly profession that cuts meat.”
Although Old Li was a butcher himself, he lived in an era where mechas were supreme. Even he himself couldn’t escape the limitations of the era. In his heart, he also believed that mecha masters were better than butchers.
Instead, it was Ning Shi who could see clearly.
Ning Shi’s main body was on the body-tempering path, and his physique was incomparably strong. Although he could not shatter a planet with one punch, he could destroy a planet if he was given time.
He knew the power of a body-tempering path-type powerhouse. It was no joke to blow up a mecha with one punch.
If the butcher profession was trained to the top, it could definitely fight against mecha.
The reason why the butcher profession and many other martial arts schools had declined was that, on one hand, mecha masters were indeed very powerful, and their top combat power was extremely strong.
On the other hand, the traditional schools actually had higher requirements for human qualifications, and the difficulty of cultivation was higher.
In order to become a top-tier butcher, not only did one have to have a good physique, but one’s intelligence and learning ability couldn’t be bad. One’s perception had to be very strong as well. Otherwise, one wouldn’t be able to learn the biochemical technique well.
With these talents, one still had to train their body day and night and practice their skills to slowly become stronger. It would take at least 20 years to cultivate a top-tier butcher expert.
Unlike mecha masters, once their mental power was cultivated, they could immediately pilot mechas to roam the universe.
As long as one had the right talent and trained for three to five years, one could become a mecha master and pilot a mecha to compete with the top traditional martial artists.
If a person with average talent chose to become a mecha master, within three to five years, he would be able to compete with a highly talented expert who had trained for twenty years.
Such a speed of growth caused all the talents to flow to the mecha master profession. The other professions were bound to fall into desolation and be eliminated.
This was just the tide of the times. It didn’t mean that mecha masters were stronger than butchers.
For Ning Shi, the butcher’s slaughter skill and biochemical technique could not only help him kill monsters and level up, but it was also the best cover for his ability to kill monsters and level up.
Because of the biochemical technique, butchers could become stronger by killing creatures. This was similar to Ning Shi’s ability to upgrade, but the efficiency was much lower.
As the master of a world, Ning Shi investigated the situation of many geniuses. He knew that if he rose rapidly in the Titanium Pole World, he would be investigated by the world’s ruling class.
Without a good cover, it would be very troublesome.
He couldn’t give up on the butcher class.
And in essence, Ning Shi still liked to rely on himself. The combat power of a mecha master was mostly on the mecha. Once they lost their mecha, their own strength would fall like a cliff.
However, Ning Shi would not go against the trend of the times. Since the main direction of development in the titanium pole world was mecha, and judging from Nico’s fate, mecha masters and mecha technology would definitely have a breakthrough in the future.
This was the key to the Titanium Pole World’s breakthrough into the outside world.
In the future, the upper limit of mecha masters’ development in the Titanium Pole World would be extremely high.
Only children made choices. Adults would want everything.
Therefore, it was best to work as a butcher and a mecha master. Ning Shi believed that with the help of the game system, he could totally work as a part-time worker.
Whether it was out of consideration for benefits or personal feelings, Ning Shi would not give up his butcher profession.
“Master,” he said to Old Li, “You said that I’m more suited to be a mecha master, but that’s not accurate.
“It’s a pity that the republic only has the mecha master qualification test and not the butcher qualification test. Otherwise, with my talent as a butcher, I would definitely be able to get an evaluation above S-level.
“I won’t give up the chance to enter the Norse Republic Academy to become a mecha master, and I won’t give up on the profession of the butcher, which I love from the bottom of my heart.
“This is my personal choice, and it has nothing to do with you, master. I’ll bear all the consequences myself.”
Old Li swallowed the residue of the black smoke fruit in one gulp and asked Ning Shi.
“Accepting my inheritance will require a lot of energy and will affect your studies as a mecha master. Do you know that?”
“I know.”
“In the Norse Republic, mecha masters are the elites of the upper class of society and are respected by everyone. Butchers are the lowest class of profession and are synonymous with vulgarity in the eyes of the world. Do you understand? ”
“I’m clear.”
“You might end up with nothing if you have two part-time jobs. Do you understand the price you have to pay? ”
“Understood.”
Ning Shi’s answer was resolute and decisive. Old Li stopped being pretentious and patted him on the shoulder.
“You fool, let’s go. We have to kill 1500 red-eyed rabbits today. I haven’t even started yet.”
Ning Shi laughed and followed Old Li to the farm. He knew Old Li would agree to him.
This was because although Old Li was limited by the times, he felt that the butcher profession was not as good as a mecha master.
But this was the most valuable part about him.
He was the real fool. He clearly had the top talent as a mecha master, but he gave up the chance to become a mecha master and chose to be a butcher for life.
Ning Shi had checked Old Li’s information.
