For the past year, the Two-headed Dragon had been sleeping and did not know that Gray Earth had killed a super magical beast. Even if it knew, the Two-headed Dragon would not be afraid.

As a dragon-type magical beast, the Two-headed Dragon not only had a strong body, but it was also skilled in ice and fire dual-elemental magic. Its combat strength was ranked at the top among super magical beasts.

After the Two-headed Dragon swallowed another magical beast, it lazily spread its wings and prepared to return to its cave in Dragon Tooth Mountain to continue sleeping.

Gray Earth saw it moving and did not waste any time. It leapt up with its thick and strong hind legs and flew into the air. Its legs closed together and kicked towards the Two-headed Dragon's crimson red head!

The Two-headed Dragon's reaction was extremely fast, and a huge ice spear instantly formed.

With a whoosh, the ice spear stabbed towards Gray Earth's body.

Swoosh!

Facing the ice spear, Gray Earth did not dodge at all. It allowed the ice spear to penetrate its back. No blood spurted out because the wound caused by the ice spear was instantly frozen.

Although Gray Earth had taken the hit, it had also achieved a brilliant result.

Its two thick hind legs accurately landed on the Two-headed Dragon's crimson red head.

Bang! Like a watermelon being smashed, the crimson red head turned to mush. Blood and flesh splattered onto the icy blue head of the dragon.

Shriek! 𝗇𝑜𝗏𝑒𝒍𝓊𝐒𝗯.𝗰𝒐𝓜

The icy blue head let out a sharp cry. The cry was filled with anger and a trace of sadness.

This was because the Two-headed Dragon realized that its head, which had been crushed by the kick, could not be resurrected!

Every time its head tried to grow back, it would be destroyed by some strange energy.

The Two-headed Dragon began to panic.

By right, as long as one of its heads was still alive, the other could immediately resurrect. If the enemy wanted to kill it, they had to destroy both of its heads at the same time.

No matter how much damage its body suffered, it could immediately recover as long as one of its two heads was still intact.

This was the Two-headed Dragon's greatest trump card.

It was obvious that Gray Earth had used the power of the origin treasure to see through the Two-headed Dragon's abilities and trump cards.

It had taken a non-fatal ice spear head-on in order to directly kick one of the dragon's heads.

Gray Earth's attack definitely contained the law of destruction that was similar to Ning Shi's sword intent.

This caused the Two-headed Dragon to lose one of its heads.

Without its red head, the Two-headed Dragon could not use its fire magic at all, and its strength was reduced by more than half.

According to Gray Earth's plan, the outcome of this battle was decided from the very beginning.

Desperate, the Two-headed Dragon unleashed its powerful strength.

It casted all sorts of ice magic.

Despite the dragon's ice magic being precise, the only thing that could really threaten Gray Earth's life was the crimson head's fire magic.

Now that the crimson head had been squashed, Gray Earth was undefeatable.

The two super magical beasts exchanged blows for another 10 minutes.

The injuries on the Two-headed Dragon's body became more and more serious, and its movement speed gradually slowed down. In the end, Gray Earth's tail whipped out and shattered its icy blue head, and it unwillingly lost its life.

Gray Earth's body was also covered in wounds. In addition to its ice magic, the dragon's sharp claws and fangs also dealt a lot of damage to Gray Earth.

If not for Gray Earth's good strategy, it would be hard to say who would have won.

Regardless, Gray Earth was the final victor. After the Two-headed Dragon died, it stood up like a gorilla and pounded its chest with its fists.

Gray Earth roared in excitement.

A blood-red energy slowly rose from the Two-headed Dragon's corpse and was about to flow into Gray Earth's body.

Gray Earth was already very familiar with this scene.

After obtaining the origin treasure, it had killed all kinds of magical beasts and absorbed their bloodlines. It had evolved from a gray rabbit to a super magical beast.

It was filled with joy and was ready to welcome the familiar bloodline energy. After absorbing the Two-headed Dragon's bloodline, it would be able to gain a firm foothold on the Super Divine Mountain and fight with ruler-level super magical beasts!

Defeating a strong enemy and reaping the fruits of the battle was the moment when Gray Earth had its guard down.

Ning Shi's game avatar, who had been waiting for a long time, ended his evil spirit assassin transformation and returned to his human body. He appeared behind Gray Earth with the meteoric demonic sword in his hand.

A murderous aura enveloped the entire Granny Dragon Ridge. If the battle between Gray Earth and the Two-headed Dragon had left all the magical beasts and animals in Granny Dragon Ridge trembling in fear, then this time, even the plants in the region were affected by this murderous sword intent.

Gray Earth felt like it had become the public enemy of all living beings in Granny Dragon Ridge.

Even the weeds on the ground stood up and pointed at it, as if they were going to fight it with all their strength!

Affected by the sword intent, it was completely unable to move.

Ning Shi was well-versed in the essence of sneak attacks. After he appeared, he summoned all his strength and unleashed his strongest killing move.

A flash of sword light, mixed with endless sword energy and destructive sword intent, struck Gray Earth.

With the help of the origin treasure, Gray Earth resisted the attack of the sword intent.

It reacted immediately, instantly reining in its thoughts and using all its strength to dodge this attack.

It would still be severely injured even if it dodged. However, Gray Earth could sense that if it did not dodge now, it would die under the blade.

Gray Earth retreated a few dozen meters away and was ready to deal with the sword light that followed. However, behind it, an identical Ning Shi appeared.

The only difference between the two was the sword in their hands. Ning Shi's main body was holding the Thunder Larva Saber.

The Thunder Larva Saber also unleashed a flash of sword light, and the same sword energy and sword intent appeared again.

...

Attacked from both sides, Gray Earth could not resist at all and was turned into dust by the sword light. 𝞰𝑶𝒱𝔢𝓵𝐔𝚜𝑏.𝑐𝒐𝗆

At the last moment of its life, it realized Ning Shi's identity and understood that it had been killed by the host of an origin treasure from another world.

It felt that its death was premature, but it did not have any regrets.

As a rabbit, it was originally the food for carnivores. Now that it had lived such a glorious life, it had no regrets.

It made use of the bloodline strength of the origin treasure to raise a large number of rabbit-type magical beasts to become advanced magical beasts.

Even if it died, the strength of the rabbit-type magical beasts would still be greatly improved. They would no longer be food for magical beasts that could be slaughtered at will like before!

After killing Gray Earth, not only did Ning Shi not relax, but he also became more alert. He was ready to intercept and capture the origin treasure, but he did not notice any movement.

There was only a hint from the game system.

[You killed the host of the World of Moen's origin treasure. According to the law of devouring an origin treasure, you have automatically captured the World of Moen's origin treasure.]

Seeing this, Ning Shi heaved a sigh of relief. He was most worried that after killing the host, the origin treasure of the World of Moen would escape and he would have to kill a new host.

Ning Shi asked, "What's the law of devouring an origin treasure? Who set the rules?"

[After the origin treasure recognizes its host, if its host is killed by another host, the origin treasure will be automatically captured by the origin treasure of the victor.]

The game system only explained the law of devouring an origin treasure. As for who made the law, the system did not give an answer.

Ning Shi wondered, "Perhaps this was a law that came to be when the worlds were created?"

Ning Shi couldn't imagine what great living being could set the law of devouring an origin treasure.

Without more information, Ning Shi did not delve into this issue. Instead, he had a better understanding of how incredible it was that the origin treasure of Saturn turned into a game system.

By making use of the game avatars, the origin treasure of Saturn would be able to enter other worlds and gradually absorb the power of the living beings there from the weakest to the strongest. It would follow the power system of the other world and would not be suppressed by the will of the other world.

On the other hand, if the game avatar of its host died, the host would only lose the spiritual power of their main body and would not die. This could also prevent the origin treasure from being devoured after the host died.

Ning Shi believed that the origin treasure of Saturn had done a beautiful job. Just by relying on its instincts, the origin treasure of Saturn had made a correct decision.

The game system sent him another hint.

[Do you wish to submit the origin treasure of the World of Moen to the game system to complete the first Ultimate Mission? Hint: Before processing the origin treasure, it is recommended that the host complete the second Ultimate Mission and retrieve the game avatar.]

[Processing the origin treasure will take between one to three months. While it is being processed, the host will not be able to leave the World of Moen.]

Seeing this prompt, Ning Shi fell into a deep thought.

He looked at the origin treasure of the World of Moen in his system backpack. At this moment, it was like a ball of purple mist, curled up into the size of a fist. It quietly stayed in his backpack.

The origin treasure would definitely need to be submitted to the game system. Ning Shi himself had no other way of using it, so submitting it to the system was the fastest way for him to become stronger.

The evil spirits from the Evil Spirit World were still wreaking havoc on Saturn, and Ning Shi was still the prey of the host of the origin treasure of the Evil Spirit World. Of course he wanted to process this origin treasure as soon as possible to enhance his own strength.

However, it would take a long time to do so. He would not be able to leave the World of Moen for at least a month.

Ning Shi had to make some arrangements.

First, he returned to Saturn with Ilya. He left the school affairs to Hao Meng.

When he returned home, he greeted his parents and said that he would be on a business trip for a while. He was nagged by his mother for a long time before Yun Moxiang finally came out to smooth things over.

Only then did his mother believe that Ning Shi was carrying out a non-life threatening secret mission.

After telling a few of his best friends where he was going, Ning Shi came to Central City and found that his disciples were doing well in their competitions. They had already entered the semi-finals.

Based on their ability, they had a high chance of winning the competition. Ning Shi entrusted Ilya to help look over them.

When everything was ready, he returned to the World of Moen and prepared to process the origin treasure.

The first step was to retrieve his game avatar!

Report chapter Comments

Ning Shi came to Dragon Tooth Mountain and found the cave where the Two-headed Dragon lived.

The Two-headed Dragon's body was huge, so the cave was very large. It did not smell much inside.

In the depths of the cave, there was a pile of very shiny crystals, as well as a small number of jewels and gold.

There were no humans on the magical beast continent, and gold coins did not exist. The Two-headed Dragon liked shiny things.

These crystals were not valuable in the human world, but they were loved by the Two-headed Dragon. 𝓷𝑜𝓥𝑬𝑙𝑢𝓈𝗯.𝑐𝑜𝓶

There was a dragon-shaped dent in the pile of shiny objects. It was obvious that the Two-headed Dragon used to sleep there.

Ning Shi inspected the treasures. He kept all the valuable treasures into his game backpack, and he destroyed the worthless crystals.

After tidying up the cave a little, Ning Shi began.

[Do you want to recall the game avatar? Yes, No.]

Ning Shi chose 'yes', and his game avatar suddenly began to fade, finally turning into a cloud of purple mist similar to the origin treasure.

There was a faint golden light emanating from this cloud of purple mist.

The mist entered Ning Shi's body.

Instantly, Ning Shi felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. It was a feeling of completion.

Ning Shi felt that his soul was whole again, flawless and spotless.

On top of that, Ning Shi's soul perception and spiritual power skyrocketed. Even the strength of his body was constantly increasing!

The extent of his improvement this time was extremely large, far exceeding any of his previous level-ups!

A notification came from the game system.

[Your main body has entered the World of Moen and recalled the game avatar. Ultimate Mission Two has been completed. Your main body has absorbed the game avatar's energy. Your Level 8 Thunder-armored Ancient Dragon Bloodline has been upgraded to Level 9 Thundercloud Ancient Dragon Bloodline. Your Level 9 Thundercloud Ancient Dragon Bloodline has been upgraded to Level 10 Thundercloud Azure Dragon Bloodline. Spiritual Power 9, Physique 5.]

After recalling his game avatar and his two bodies merged, Ning Shi's bloodline was upgraded two levels directly, and his stats increased by 14 points!

Ning Shi's Physique had reached 55 points and his Spiritual Power had reached 45 points. He had already reached the limits of the physical stats of the Thundercloud Azure Dragon Bloodline.

Because of his strength-type special ability and various talents, the Physique that Ning Shi could display was actually close to 60 points.

Now, even if he faced the powerful Taikoo Red Dragon Ilya, Ning Shi was confident that he could beat her in close combat.

Just as Ning Shi was feeling happy, an eye-catching notification appeared.

[Your game avatar has been retrieved. Your Character Template in the World of Moen has been retrieved. You can no longer kill enemies to level up.]

When he saw this, Ning Shi began to curse internally. He was about to complain about the game system scamming him, but the game system continued sending him hints.

[The World of Moen is a small world, and the ceiling of its power system is at the level of super magical beasts, deities, and supreme bloodline warriors. After you recall your avatar, your strength has reached the peak of the World of Moen. Further upgrading will only be a waste of resources; your strength cannot be improved any further.]

This was the first time Ning Shi discovered that there was a ceiling to the world's combat power, and that the World of Moen was considered a small world.

He asked, "Then what kind of world is Saturn considered to be? Is there a difference between worlds?"

[The worlds are divided into small worlds, medium worlds, and large worlds according to their combat power and size. Saturn was once a large world, and it is now a small world.]

The game system did not explain any further. When Ning Shi asked about other things, the system did not answer.

Ning Shi guessed that there were many things that even the game system didn't know.

He then asked, "My Character Template has been recalled. Then, will my followers and servants still have their Character Templates?"

[The Character Templates of followers and servants will continue to exist until their strength reaches the peak in the World of Moen.]

Ning Shi didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he chose to submit the origin treasure of the World of Moen to the game system.

[The system has obtained the origin treasure of the World of Moen and recalled it. Ultimate Mission One has been completed. The reward will be released after the recall is completed. Please wait patiently.]

[Reminder: During the recall process, please do not leave the World of Moen. Otherwise, the recall will fail.]

In Ning Shi's perception, the origin treasure of the World of Moen in his game backpack began to change. Traces of mist were being drawn from its purple core and flowed into an unknown void.

The game system in his mind suddenly dimmed. Ning Shi guessed that this was because the game system was focusing all its power on absorbing the origin treasure of the World of Moen.

According to the game system's hint, Saturn was now a small world, so the origin treasure of Saturn was essentially the same as the origin treasure of the World of Moen, which was also a small world.

Their strength should be about the same.

Therefore, the absorption process would not be very fast.

As for Ning Shi himself, he didn't feel anything at all when the game system recalled the origin treasure.

Ning Shi had originally thought that the absorption process would cause a huge spectacle, such as the will of the World of Moen sending down thunderous heavenly punishment as its origin treasure had been devoured.

In order to minimize the potential damage, he even deliberately found a cave to hide in.

Now, it seemed that all his precautions were unnecessary.

The recall process was handled solely by the game system, and the entire process was very discreet. Everything in the World of Moen was normal, and there were no abnormal reactions.

Ning Shi found himself with nothing to do.

Now that he had recalled his game avatar, he could not kill monsters to level up, nor did he need to cultivate the Bloodline Guidance Technique. The game system also did not give him any more missions.

This was the first time Ning Shi remained in the World of Moen without any purpose.

Report chapter Comments

Ning Shi recalled that ever since he came to the World of Moen, he had always been focusing on leveling up, becoming stronger or completing the game missions. He had not properly relaxed and enjoyed the local customs of this world.

Since he had nothing to do for the time being, Ning Shi planned to experience the corrupted life of a noble.

Ning Shi didn't do anything to the eight great ruler level super magical beasts on the Super Divine Mountain. He would leave these beasts to Lena who was developing.

This would also be training for her.

Thinking of this, Ning Shi turned into a flash of lightning and quickly flew toward the Moen Continent.

More than four hours later, Ning Shi arrived at the Tianqing Mountain Range on the Moen Continent. After traveling for another hour, Ning Shi returned to Duohuang City.

After more than two months of development, the current Duohuang City was no longer the chaotic land of evil that Ning Shi had first arrived in.

The stable environment attracted more merchants to carry out international trade here. In addition to this, due to Ning Shi having secret control over countless resources to build magic core weapons here, a prosperous city was created.

The city wall, which used to be more than five meters tall, had been expanded and was now 30 meters tall.

Due to the policy of equality among ethnic groups in Duohuang City, everyone could enjoy equal treatment as long as they were residents of the city. Therefore, many races from the deserted north plains moved here to settle down.

There were all kinds of beastman races, a large number of gnomes, barbarians, nomads and so on. Many races were proud to be able to reside in Duohuang City.

Under such circumstances, the population of the city expanded rapidly. In just a few months, the population had exceeded five million.

The city was originally designed to accommodate two million people at most, and even then it would already be very crowded.

Therefore, new houses and rows of new streets were built outside the city walls.

The area surrounded by the city walls became the prosperous inner city of Duohuang. An even larger outer city began to form outside the city walls.

Fortunately, there were plains all around Duohuang. After mastering brick baking, expansion was not difficult at all.

The World of Moen did not have any skyscrapers at all. It was a miracle for a city to have a population of more than five million.

Due to Ning Shi's existence, this miracle continued to develop, and the population of Duohuang City continued to increase.

In the foreseeable future, Duohuang City would become the largest city on the Moen Continent.

In order to experience the changes in Duohuang, Ning Shi did not use the thunder escape technique. Instead, he chose to walk into the city.

The commerce in Duohuang was flourishing, and the pace of life in the World of Moen was relatively fast. Everyone was busy making money, hoping to live a better life.

There were lots of people on the streets, and all of them seemed to be in a rush.

Even so, everyone would stop and bow to Ning Shi after seeing him.

According to the City Hall's plan, a huge square was built in the city center and was called Freedom Square.

In the center of the square, there was a 100-meter-tall statue.

Regardless of where one was in the city, as long as they looked up, they would be able to see the statue.

The statue was of City Lord Ning Shi.

Therefore, the people of Duohuang City were very familiar with Ning Shi's appearance. 𝐧𝑶𝐯𝑒𝓵𝔲𝐬𝔅.𝐂𝗈𝓂

When they saw the City Lord appear in person, be it out of respect for his position, or out of genuine gratitude for him creating the city, they all paid him the highest respect.

Walking on the streets, Ning Shi saw that most of the people were dressed in decent clothes. They looked healthy and their clothes were clean. Everything was in order, and city guards patrolled the area from time to time.

No one dared to fight on the streets anymore. Those who needed to fight would go to the arena.

He checked out the shops along the road and saw a wide variety of goods.

There were specialty foods that emitted an alluring fragrance, as well as all kinds of magic core tools that covered all aspects of clothing, food, housing, and transportation.

Most importantly, there were large theaters on some streets.

Many people would buy tickets to the theaters to enjoy all kinds of performances. People were becoming more and more cultured, which was a sign of rich material life.

Seeing such a prosperous city, Ning Shi felt a sense of achievement. He had created this city by himself.

Duohuang City had turned from a chaotic city of sin to the pearl of commerce on the Moen Continent.

It was all achieved due to Ning Shi's guidance.

When he returned to the City Lord's mansion, just as Ning Shi had sat down, Snow Fog rushed over upon hearing the news of his arrival.

She reported to Ning Shi excitedly, "My Lord, we've already built hundreds of beginner starlight collectors. The growth of the star core has accelerated!"

She continued, "The foreign worlds' diplomatic corps have arrived at the Brad Empire's capital, Golden Lion City. Joseba has met with them, and rumor is that they would reach an agreement soon. The Mieln Federation will help us produce a large number of parts for the starlight collectors. We only need to assemble them in Duohuang!"

If it was in the past, Ning Shi would have been very happy to hear this news. Moreover, he would have shifted his consciousness to the Starfall to check on the speed of growth of the star core.

However, having decided to relax today, Ning Shi was no longer interested in these things.

He looked at the beautiful Snow Fog.

Her silver hair was soft and shiny, and her big eyes were sparkling. The skin on her face was so delicate that it seemed like it would break if he blew on it. The way she looked at him was also unabashedly filled with love.

Ning Shi caressed her head and said, "I'm going to have a good rest for now and experience the corrupted life of an emperor. Do you want to keep me company in bed tonight?"

Ning Shi just wanted to tease Snow Fog a little. His original plan was to find Ilya first.

Report chapter Comments

Snow Fog's face was completely red, but she still replied in an extremely low voice.

"I… I can."

Snow Fog's words started Ning Shi's corrupted life.

Through the reports Ilya transmitted to him, Ning Shi was up to date with the happenings on Saturn.

He found out that his disciples had won the championship in the Campus Awakeners' Competition. Luo Yao, Jiang Bichao and Zong Shangren had all joined the national team.

They were all training hard and actively preparing for the Global Young Awakeners Martial Arts Competition.

Ning Shi enjoyed a relaxing life on the Moen Continent, reaping the benefits of his power and influence.

His word was law, and no one dared to resist. 𝓝𝑶𝑽𝗲𝗅𝑢𝓈𝒷.𝑐𝐎𝓶

He had people to take care of him, and he had beautiful women who answered his beck and call. He had endless wealth.

If he wanted something, there would be experts from all over the continent who would do their best to find it.

After more than two months, while Ning Shi was so happy that he forgot about home, the game system finally completely devoured the energy of the World of Moen's origin treasure.

[The origin treasure has been successfully recalled. You are rewarded with a world seed.]

[The game system has been updated to version 5.0. The host's bloodline has been upgraded. The host's bloodline has broken through the shackles of the World of Moen and Saturn. The Thundercloud Azure Dragon Bloodline has been upgraded to the Starry Azure Dragon Bloodline. Physique 3, Spiritual Power 4.]

[You will be rewarded with a chance to create a game avatar in a new world.]

[Do you want to create a new avatar? Yes, No.]

Ning Shi didn't choose to create one for the time being.

He felt that his spiritual power had skyrocketed again, and his consciousness spread out endlessly. He could even sense everything in the surrounding areas of the entire Duohuang City.

Ning Shi could now understand how Ilya felt. Even though he didn't have a perception method that specialized in cultivating the soul and spiritual power, with his current spiritual power of 50 points, the range of his perception was already extremely wide.

Ilya's spiritual power had reached 55 points, and she specialized in soul perception. It was no surprise that her perception ability was so strong.

Ning Shi's physique continued to increase, reaching an astonishing 58 points.

Ning Shi's strength had increased by leaps and bounds after devouring the origin treasure!

In terms of transformation-type ability, the Thundercloud Azure Dragon had transformed into the even more ancient and majestic Starry Azure Dragon.

There was also a change in the duration of his transformation. Initially, he could transform into the Thunder-armored Ancient Dragon indefinitely. Now, the duration of his Starry Azure Dragon transformation was 2 hours, and he could battle for 5 minutes.

Ning Shi came to the wilderness and transformed into the Starry Azure Dragon.

A gigantic monster appeared out of thin air. The monster towered over the continent, covering the sky and the sun. The height of its torso reached 10,000 meters!

Ning Shi's view rose, and his head was in the clouds. Looking down at the earth, he felt that everything was extremely small.

He suddenly had the urge to leave the earth, pass through the clouds, and fly into the sky.

When he thought of doing this, without his feet even moving and without wings, he actually flew up in the air at an extremely fast speed.

In less than two minutes, he passed through the atmosphere and had flown into outer space.

Entering outer space, Ning Shi felt as carefree as a fish back in the water. No wonder his upgraded bloodline was called the Starry Azure Dragon. This giant beast must have lived in outer space and could travel freely among the stars.

In outer space, Ning Shi saw the overall appearance of the Moen planet. It was blue and yellow, very similar to Saturn.

Not far away from Moen, there was also a moon revolving around the planet.

Thousands of miles away from the moon, there was a silver planet that was even bigger than the moon.

Ning Shi focused his vision and saw that there were thousands of tall tower-shaped buildings on the silver planet.

It was obvious that this silver planet was the Starfall, and the tower-shaped buildings on it were the starlight collectors.

Report chapter Comments

Ning Shi could see with his naked eyes that countless starlight was gathered from outer space, trapped by the starlight collectors, and guided into the star core.

Ning Shi's originally gigantic body appeared very small in outer space compared to all the colossal planets.

He wandered around outer space and saw the sun of the World of Moen. He also saw other planets, but he did not find any planets that could breed life.

Ning Shi guessed that in the World of Moen, the only place that could breed life was the Moen planet.

After his transformation, as a Starry Azure Dragon, Ning Shi's Physique had reached an astonishing 63 points!

Right now, he could be considered invincible in the World of Moen and Saturn.

He didn't know how strong he was compared to the insect kings and giant beasts of the insect world.

In terms of size, the giant beasts made up of insect swarms in the insect world were about the same size as Ning Shi's Starry Azure Dragon. They were all around 10,000 meters long.

However, Ning Shi's strength was improving rapidly, and his confidence was also extremely inflated. He believed that even the giant beasts of the insect world were no match for him.

After transforming into the Starry Azure Dragon, Ning Shi had mastered several new skills in addition to his previous talents and skills.

[Interstellar flash Tier 1: This is the main skill of the Starry Azure Dragon. It uses this skill to travel in outer space. It can perform ultra-long distance teleportation between planets.] 𝔫𝑶𝓋𝐄𝑙𝑈𝒮𝑏.𝓬𝑜𝑚

[Behemoth's roar Tier 1: The Starry Azure Dragon lets out a huge roar and attacks indiscriminately. The roar will cause huge sound wave damage to the enemy. The enemy will randomly suffer negative statuses such as death, stun, fear, and reduced defense according to their spiritual power and resistance to negative statuses.]

[Starlight wave Tier 1: The Starry Azure Dragon releases a wave of starlight, causing great damage to enemies in its path.]

He also had two more talents.

[Freewill (purple): The Starry Azure Dragon can change its size at will. The maximum size can be 50 times its current size, and the minimum size can be reduced to a millimeter. The change in size does not affect Physique.]

[Claw simulation (purple): The Starry Azure Dragon has long, sharp claws. The claws can simulate knife or sword techniques, allowing use of such techniques.]

Seeing these skills and talents, Ning Shi was extremely satisfied. He had always envied Ilya for being able to use spatial magic to travel at will.

Now that he could transform into the Starry Azure Dragon, he could use interstellar flash and teleport even further than Ilya could with her spatial magic.

Ning Shi could teleport to any location on Saturn with just a thought.

Behemoth's roar and starlight wave were both extremely powerful offensive skills, covering both area-of-effect and single-target attacks.

His freewill talent allowed him to change the size of his body without exhausting his transformation-type special ability. After all, although Ning Shi was now a transformation-type Overlord, the Starry Azure Dragon was huge and powerful, so it would consume a lot of his special ability for him to change into it.

If he had to shrink or enlarge his body during the transformation, he would not be able to sustain his transformation for more than a few seconds.

Ning Shi immediately used his freewill talent and shrunk the 10,000-meter-tall Starry Azure Dragon down to about two meters. It was inconvenient for him to move around due to his large size.

As for claw simulation, it allowed Ning Shi to use swordsmanship and sword intent when he transformed, which was also a great enhancement.

Otherwise, after transforming into the Starry Azure Dragon, although his Physique would become stronger, he would still be unable to use his most powerful killing move, which was his swordsmanship. His strength would still be greatly limited.

After experiencing the Starry Azure Dragon's transformation, Ning Shi teleported and returned to the City Lord's mansion in Duohuang City.

He first checked the only item rewarded by the system after devouring the origin treasure, the world seed.

[World seed: It is one of the most precious treasures in the multiverse. During the recall process, 83% of the energy was used to condense the world seed.]

[Once the world seed is planted, it will give birth to a Level 1 small world.]

[The host can bind themselves to the world seed and possess a complete Level 1 small world. The small world can provide sufficient world's essence power for the host.]

[The world's essence power can be transformed by the game system into skill points, potential points, or attribute points to help the host increase their personal strength. It can also be used in the game system's version 5.0 update.]

[Do you want to bind yourself to the world seed and become its owner? Yes, Nno.]

Of course, he chose yes.

In an instant, a colorful seed appeared in Ning Shi's hand.

The seed was surrounded by a dense mist, and the color of the seed's surface was constantly changing.

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, all kinds of colors flashed past in an instant on its surface.

[Do you want to plant the world seed now? If you wish to plant it, please swallow it.]

He had to swallow it?

Ning Shi was a little surprised, but he didn't have any objections. The game system wouldn't harm him. He swallowed the seed.

The walnut-sized seed did not get stuck in his throat and was not hard to swallow. Instead, it was like a tasteless liquid that slid smoothly down his throat.

The seed slid down his throat and into his stomach. Finally, like a plant, countless dense roots extended out of the seed and took root in his stomach.

Ning Shi's perception was extremely strong, so he could peer into his body. He could clearly see everything happening inside himself.

As he watched the seed take root in his flesh, he did not feel afraid. Instead, he carefully observed the process.

After the world seed took root, the seed melted away like ice meeting fire.

Not long after, the seed completely disappeared and became one with Ning Shi's flesh and blood. In Ning Shi's perception, he entered a void.

Report chapter Comments

This world was like one of his hands or an organ. Ning Shi could sense it and could enter and exit at will.

He tried it and found that he could put any material and living beings into the small world. When there were more materials and living beings in the small world, the inside of the world would seem livelier.

However, the current small world was nothing but a void.

Living beings couldn't survive in it.

[ Level 1 small world has been created. Host, please give the small world a name. Once the name of the small world is confirmed, it cannot be changed. Please consider this carefully. ]

Ning Shi remembered his identity and named the small world Yanhuang without hesitation.

In the game system, the introduction of the small world changed.

[ World name: Yanhuang Small World ]

[ World level: Level 1 small world ]

[ World origin power production speed: 10 units/day ]

[ World origin power balance: 100 units ]

[ Upgrade requirements: 1 trillion tons of any material, 100 units of the world's essence power ]

[ Hint: Please prioritize the upgrade of the small world. Do not extract too much of the small world's essence power in the early stages to avoid affecting the small world's development. ]

Ning Shi certainly knew the importance of early development. According to the game system's evaluation of the world seed, it was one of the most precious treasures in the great thousand worlds.

A world that completely belonged to him. Ning Shi was the God of the creation of this world, the only ruler.

If this world was developed well, the benefits in the future would definitely be endless.

He looked at the game system's version 5.0 update. It required 100000 units of the world's essence power. As for how much world's essence power was required to convert skill points, attribute points, and potential points, the game system did not specify.

It was possible that the corresponding value would only be given when it needed to be converted.

When the Yanhuang Small World was born, it had 100 units of the world's essence power, and it could produce 10 units of the world's essence power every day.

Fortunately, he had the world's essence power balance. Otherwise, he would have to wait 10 days to level up. 𝐧𝑶𝐯𝑒𝓵𝔲𝐬𝔅.𝐂𝗈𝓂

In order to save time, Ning Shi needed to stuff 1 trillion tons of materials into the Yanhuang Small World in the shortest time possible.

These materials were not difficult to obtain. He had seen many planets in outer space in the World of Moen. These planets were extremely large and were made of various materials.

Many planets were larger than Saturn. Ning Shi had seen related reports before that Saturn's mass was about 60 trillion tons.

1 trillion tons of matter was only one billionth of Saturn.

Ning Shi transformed into a Starry Azure Dragon and once again teleported above the starry sky. He found a small planet that was a dozen times smaller than the moon and prepared to directly send this planet to the Yanhuang Small World.

The game system sent him a notification.

[ Target object's mass is 50 billion tons. The current Yanhuang Small World's mass capacity is 5 trillion tons of material. Exceeding the capacity limit, the target's absorption has failed. Please decompose the material before using Yanhuang Small World's material absorption ability. ]

Seeing this prompt, Ning Shi had to transform into a coolie. His strength was not enough to blow up a planet with one punch, so he could only transform into a ten-thousand-meter-long beast and keep destroying this tiny planet.

The planet's soil and rocks flew everywhere, and the earth cracked. The matter that left the surface of the planet was all absorbed by an invisible force, flying near Ning Shi's body and disappearing.

This was because it had been absorbed by the Yanhuang Small World's devouring ability.

Ning Shi did a very good job. Although he couldn't break the planet with one punch, he could still break it into pieces with a few more punches and kicks.

In less than an hour, the Yanhuang Small World had devoured five trillion tons of matter.

[ The amount of substance that you have devoured has reached the limit of the Yanhuang Small World. You cannot devour anymore. ]

Seeing the system notification, Ning Shi glanced at the inside of the small world.

Within the Yanhuang Small World, as large amounts of matter flowed in, the entire world continuously expanded. The boundaries of the world also became clearer.

The originally chaotic space slowly began to have boundaries.

Countless material fragments were floating in space.

[ Do you wish to consume 100 units of world origin power to push the Yanhuang Small World to further evolve and upgrade? Yes, no.]

Ning Shi chose yes.

Then, he saw that the various materials that were originally floating in the space in a disorderly manner were now being rubbed by a pair of dexterous hands.

The matter was constantly changing and disintegrating. Some gradually formed earth and soil, while others formed rivers and forests.

The entire world began to have a square base with mountains and rivers.

But it wasn't a good thing.

Because there was no sunlight, no airflow, and no living beings, everything seemed dark, gloomy, and deathly silent.

After about an hour, the evolution was completed.

Ning Shi looked at the information on the Yanhuang Small World.

[ Name: Yanhuang Small World ]

[ Level: 2 ]

[ World origin power production speed: 50 units/day ]

[ World origin power balance: 0 units ]

[ Upgrade requirements: 1 trillion tons of any material, 1000 units of the world's essence power ]

[ Description: This is a small world that has just started. It looks a little strange, but it has a bright future. ]

Ning Shi had basically figured it out. The Yanhuang Small World required 100 billion tons of materials to upgrade, so the upper limit of the material it could hold was five times the upgrade requirement, which was 500 billion tons.

He continued to do hard work, plundering the planet that had been torn apart before, allowing the Yanhuang Small World to swallow another 500 billion tons of material.

...

After 20 days, when the Yanhuang Small World's source of energy reached 1000 units, he would be able to level up again.

Report chapter Comments

At this moment, the game system sent out a notification.

[ When the host plunders materials from any world, please pay attention to the appropriate amount. If the host devours too much, the host may be punished by the world's will. ]

Ning Shi immediately understood that if he plundered too many resources from the World of Moen and moved them to his Yanhuang Small World, the World of Moen's development would be affected. 𝒏𝒐𝑣𝗲𝗅𝑈𝓈𝒷.𝑪𝒪𝑚

The world will would definitely punish him.

But Ning Shi was not too worried.

On the one hand, his plunder was insignificant in terms of the entire world's material. On the other hand, the fighting power of the World of Moen was only at the level of a super magical beast. From this, it could be deduced that the means that the World of Moen's will could use were limited.

It probably couldn't cause fatal damage to Ning Shi.

If the will of the World of Moen was really that strong, it would not have allowed so many transmigrators to come to the World of Moen and destroy its original development.

The matter of the Yanhuang Small World had come to an end, and Ning Shi finally had time to look at the last reward for devouring the origin treasure.

It was another game avatar!

This meant that the game system evolved from the origin treasure and had found a new target to hunt for the origin treasure in the new world.

Ning Shi's consciousness entered the game and saw the familiar prompt again.

[ Do you want to create a game avatar? Yes, no.]

Ning Shi suppressed the excitement in his heart and chose yes.

This time, Ning Shi could clearly sense that a very small piece of his soul had been cut out from the depths of his soul.

The range of his perception had shrunk a lot in an instant.

Then, a game avatar that looked exactly like Ning Shi appeared in front of him.

But the data wasn't the data of the main body.

[ Game avatar: Ning Shi ]

[ Vitality: 10 (maximum for a normal human) ]

[ Spiritual Power: 10 (maximum for a normal human) ]

[ Appearance: 8 (handsome) ]

[ Family background: 6 (a slightly rich family) ]

[ Bloodline: Ordinary human ]

[ Occupation: None ]

[ Skills: None ]

[ Talent: learning (gold) ]

[ Achievement: None ]

At this moment, other than the physical fitness of the game avatar reaching the limit of an ordinary human, he had no skills. He only retained the golden learning talent.

Even so, to create such a clone, not only did the game system pay a great amount of the world's essence power, but the Spiritual Power of Ning Shi's main body also decreased, from 50 points to 49 points.

50 points of Spiritual Power was the critical point. When 50 points of Spiritual Power were reduced to 49 points, the total amount of Spiritual Power was reduced by half.

From the looks of it, it wasn't easy to create a game avatar.

Ning Shi checked the system's prompt for the game avatar.

[ Before the strength of the game's avatar surpasses the main body, the ability to synchronize the strength of the avatar and the main body is temporarily disabled. ]

After so many things, Ning Shi knew the purpose of the game system.

When the game avatar went to the new world to level up and develop, it was best to be a blank slate. All the growth in strength would be based on the power system of the new world.

This way, he would not be rejected by the will of the new world, and it would not be easy for the new world's origin treasure or its owner to discover any abnormalities.

Moreover, the game avatars used the game system to upgrade their strength, and the source of the increase in strength was mostly the soul and physical energy of the people or beasts killed in the new world.

If the game avatar arrived in a new world and chose to synchronize its strength with the main body, not only would it consume a large amount of the game system's world's essence power and weaken the game system, but it would also be rejected by the new world, making it easier to expose its identity as a guest from another world.

After thinking through everything, Ning Shi switched his consciousness to the game avatar.

Suddenly, the powerful feeling of controlling everything disappeared, and Ning Shi once again felt the weakness of ordinary people.

Even though he was already an ordinary person with an extreme physique, Ning Shi still felt a sense of loss in his heart. A second ago, he was still an expert who could crush a planet, but in the next second, he was reduced to an ordinary person.

The difference was huge.

After adjusting his state of mind, Ning Shi once again pushed open the door of the game and entered the practice room that he had not seen for a long time.

He didn't stop. He pushed open the door of the practice room, and a whole new world appeared in front of him.

Report chapter Comments

Ning Shi appeared in a narrow room.

It was a small room with an area of no more than 10 square meters. There was only a bed, a table and a chair, and a mirror on the table. There was nothing else.

The walls of the room were made of lime. Some of the lime on the walls had already fallen off, and some places had already turned yellow due to the humidity.

Standing in the room, one could even smell a faint moldy smell.

Ning Shi picked up the mirror and saw that he had become younger. There was soft fuzz at the corner of his mouth. Obviously, the game system had packaged the game avatar in order to make it reasonable.

A notification came from the game system.

[ This world is called the Titanium Pole World. The accumulation of the Titanium Pole World has reached the peak of the medium world. In the next few years or a hundred years, it will be promoted to a large world. ]

[ The world will of the Titanium Pole World is extremely powerful. The overall strength of the living beings in the world is also very strong. The ability of its origin treasure is relatively strong. Host, please be careful and keep a low profile while developing. ]

[ As the Titanium Pole World is extremely powerful, the game system is unable to create a novice village and some of the guides. In order to ensure that the host can smoothly integrate into the new world, the game system has arranged a reasonable identity for the host. ]

[ Everything about this identity is completely real. Please act according to your identity and don't worry about being exposed. ]

[ The common language of the Titanium Pole World has been synchronized with the game system. You can communicate and read without any obstacles. ]

[ Identity information as follows: Ning Shi, a citizen of the Norse Republic, the origin planet of the Titanium Pole World. When he was 10 years old, his parents died while exploring. He was sent to Orphanage No. 15 of Sword Shield City by the government. Due to his older age, he has never been adopted. ]

[ Ning Shi was a loner in the orphanage and didn't have many friends. He grew up in the orphanage with a very low profile. In five days, Ning Shi will celebrate his 18th birthday. ]

In Ning Shi's mind, the game system played some memory images, including the appearance of his identity's parents, the Director of the orphanage, and several caretakers, letting Ning Shi roughly understand the interpersonal relationships of this identity.

A carefree orphan. In the entire orphanage, there was only Director Song Yuan and a teacher in charge of taking care of the orphans, Song Yun. These two people still remembered Ning Shi.

The game system probably arranged this to save the world's essence power, so the identity of an orphan was the least involved.

Ning Shi saw an exclamation mark flashing in the mission module, so he checked it.

[ Mission 1: According to the laws of the Norse Republic, all citizens who have reached the age of 18 must undergo the government's qualification test. If they have excellent qualifications, they have the opportunity to enter a higher education institute for further study. ]

[ Please obtain an A-level or above in the qualification test in 5 days. ]

[ Hint: The higher the Spiritual Power, the better the qualification rating. ]

[ Mission 2: The game system must have already guessed that it was intentional for you to stay in Sword Shield City Orphanage No. 15. Please find a muse named Nico in the orphanage within three days and become his good friend. ]

Seeing these two missions, Ning Shi was not in a hurry to find Nico. The most important thing now was to understand the basic situation of Titanium Pole World. 𝐍𝑂𝑣𝐞𝑳𝑢𝓢𝔅.𝗰𝑂𝔪

The game system had only given him an identity, and there were only a few words about Titanium Pole World.

Leaving his simple single room, Ning Shi came to the door.

The sky was gray, and there was a smell of dust in the air. It was not raining, but there was no sunlight.

Ning Shi's room was damp and moldy. It could be seen that the weather in Sword Shield City was mostly rainy.

He walked along the corridor quietly, pretending to be taking a walk.

Along the way, he saw many staff members of the orphanage and groups of orphans.

Most of these orphans were young, only five or six years old. It was rare to see one as old as Ning Shi.

They walked along the corridor to a hall. There were staff members inside who were receiving families who came to adopt children.

Ning Shi found a corner and quietly eavesdropped for a while. It was all normal conversation, with no useful information.

The staff first asked and verified the basic situation of the adopter family, then asked about their needs and recommended a few children to them.

After a while, the staff stood up and brought the man and woman to meet the recommended orphans.

He wondered which lucky person would be able to leave the orphanage and start a new family.

Ning Shi also left the hall and continued to stroll around the orphanage.

The orphanage's overall architectural style was extremely simple. It had white walls and red tiles. Other than a field for children's entertainment, most of the facilities were functional.

It was obvious that the finances of the orphanage were very tight.

Ning Shi found a small reading room of about 20 square meters in a corner of the orphanage.

In the reading room, there were books donated by some charity organizations.

Studying was a good way to understand the world.

Ning Shi walked into the reading room and found that it was already full of children. Looking around, they were basically all orphans under the age of 10.

There were only two rows of long benches in the reading room. Many children had no place to sit, so they took a book and sat on the ground.

Ning Shi ignored the already crowded reading room and calmly squeezed in.

Although most of the books in the reading room were children's books, there were also some professional publications.

"A Brief History of the Origin Planet", "Introduction to Basic Mecha", and "Frontier of Science and Technology". Ning Shi picked three books that no one was interested in.

These books couldn't be taken away and could only be read in the reading room. Ning Shi was about to sit on the ground when he found that there was an empty seat on the row of long benches against the outer wall.

Report chapter Comments

A thin teenager was sitting quietly in the innermost seat. There was no one around him, so there was an empty seat.

Ning Shi walked in from the door. The innermost corner of the outer wall was a blind spot, so he didn't notice.

When he saw a seat, he walked around the child on the ground and sat down.

There were so many children in the reading room, but everyone would rather sit on the ground than turn a blind eye to this position. There must be something strange about this.

Sure enough, as soon as Ning Shi sat down, a little boy of about ten years old on his left said timidly.

"Brother, you can't sit here. The one sitting next to you is a muse who will bring disaster. It's all because of the muse that our origin planet is in such a miserable state."

When Ning Shi heard about the muse, his heart moved and he looked carefully at the young man beside him.

He had crew-cut short hair that tested his looks. He had big almond-shaped eyes, long eyelashes, and a small red mouth. Although he was small and thin, and his clothes were extremely simple and had been washed white, it could not hide his beauty.

Ning Shi was almost moved by a man!

Ning Shi looked carefully. This young man had an Adam's apple at his throat. Although he looked very charming, he was indeed a man.

The young man felt Ning Shi's gaze and said indifferently.

"Wang Fu is right. I am a muse and I am very unlucky. Those who get close to me will not have a good ending. It is not too late for you to leave your seat now."

Before Ning Shi could say anything, the child who had just reminded Ning Shi, Wang Fu, continued.

"That's right, big brother. Although this is the first time I'm seeing you, I can't just watch you suffer. The person beside you is called Nico. Not only is he a muse, but he is also born with bad luck. We all call him Unlucky Nico. Anyone who comes into contact with him too often or for too long will be infected with bad luck.

Hearing Wang Fu's words, not only did Nico not show any signs of anger, but he also cooperated.

Ning Shi sensed that the relationship between the two was not simple.

At the same time, he sighed in his heart at how awesome the game system was. It arranged for such a reclusive identity. He had met so many people on the way, but no one recognized him at all.

If he wasn't wearing the uniform of the orphanage, he would have been kicked out.

He had searched high and low for her, but now he had found him. Since he had met the quest target, Nico, by chance, he would not avoid him.

He smiled at Wang Fu and said, "It's fine. I'm a rather unlucky person. Anything that happens to me is my own fault. It has nothing to do with anyone else."

After saying that, Ning Shi did not look at Nico. Instead, he picked up the three books in front of him and began to read.

Although the task given by the system was to be friends with Nico, Ning Shi knew that haste makes waste. If he was too enthusiastic, he would only scare Nico.

It was their first time meeting each other. It was enough to leave a certain impression in Nico's heart. 𝐍𝑂𝑣𝐞𝑳𝑢𝓢𝔅.𝗰𝑂𝔪

Ning Shi's method was very effective. Seeing that Ning Shi was not afraid of him and was really sitting beside her reading a book, Nico became interested in Ning Shi.

He wanted to speak to Ning Shi several times, but he found that Ning Shi was completely immersed in the book, so he didn't disturb him.

Ning Shi stayed in the reading room for a long time, reading more than a dozen books in a hurry. Finally, he understood the general situation of the Titanium Pole World.

The technology of the Titanium Pole World was extremely advanced. The humans there had already broken free of the shackles of the planet and begun exploring space. They also carried out cruel interstellar colonization.

In the Titanium Pole World, there were many planets suitable for life and reproduction, giving birth to a variety of species and humans with different characteristics.

The muse was one of them.

The muse originated from the Red Water Planet, and the planet was named after a huge winding red river.

The appearance of this race was exactly the same as that of humans. The reason why they were listed as a branch of humans, and some scholars even believed that the muse were not humans, was because they had two major characteristics.

One of the characteristics was that the muse was a race that reproduced asexually. There was no distinction between males and females in this race, and their way of reproduction was very special.

The muse had an ability that allowed them to predict the end of their lifespan in advance. When the end of their lifespan was near, they would return to their ancestral land.

When the elderly died in the ancestral land, a random number of newborns would be born.

If one was unlucky, one person's death would only give birth to one newborn. If one was lucky, one person's death would give birth to three to four newborns.

As for what kind of magical power the ancestral land had, and how to use the death of the old in exchange for the birth of new life, the book did not say anything, so Ning Shi was not clear.

This method of reproduction not only required the death of the elderly but also depended on luck to determine the number of newborns. In addition, a large number of muse people died due to various accidents and could not die in the ancestral land.

As a result, the population of the muse had not been able to increase.

When the humans on the origin planet discovered the muse, their entire population was about 100,000.

When the people of the origin planet met the muse, they quickly discovered the second characteristic of the muse.

It turned out that the muse was not completely genderless. When they fell in love with an outsider, their own gender would gradually change according to the person.

This change completely depended on the sexual orientation of the lover.

It did not mean that a muse would turn into a woman just because he fell in love with a man. It was possible that the man he loved had a unique preference.

Moreover, after the muse had confirmed their gender, they would exude an amazing charm. Regardless of whether they were men or women, their looks were enough to cause a disaster for the country.

Report chapter Comments

After the human pioneers of the origin planet discovered the unique characteristics of the muse, they regarded the muse as precious treasures.

They captured all the muses and sold them to the nobles on various planets.

In the beginning, the major nobles of the Titanium Pole World were proud of having a muse as their lover. The muse relied on their looks to charm the decadent nobles, and they were able to thrive in human society.

That was until the two great nobles on the origin planet started a terrible war with the excuse of a muse woman. 𝒏𝒐𝑣𝗲𝗅𝑈𝓈𝒷.𝑪𝒪𝑚

Not only had the war exhausted all the resources on the origin planet, but the destruction caused by the war had also caused the technological capabilities of the origin planet to regress.

As the mother star of the origin of mankind, the origin planet had completely declined.

The war had caused hundreds of millions of casualties on the origin planet, and the civilization had regressed. Everyone needed an outlet to vent their emotions.

The muse woman took the blame, and the saying femme fatale became popular on the origin planet.

In the next hundred years, the muse appeared in many wars. Those in power deliberately pushed the blame onto others, and the media also followed suit. In addition, people had a special preference for stories about femme fatale.

For a time, the muse had become a synonym for disaster in the human world.

Everyone would look down on the muse. Even if there were nobles and muse lovers, they would do it secretly and not dare to be discovered. Once discovered, the reputation of the noble would be ruined.

The muse had become the target of everyone's wrath.

Under such circumstances, many of the muses who were sold as goods and left Red Water Planet could not return to Red Water Planet and die in their ancestral land.

In addition to intermarriage with humans, purebred muses were almost extinct.

After reading the story of the muse, Ning Shi looked at Nico with sympathy.

The muse had originally lived freely on Red Water Planet, but they had been sold as goods by the colonists and had become homeless galactic refugees.

In the end, they were even used as an excuse by the humans to start a war and were cursed.

Seeing that Ning Shi's eyes had moved away from the book and were looking at him with sympathy, Nico finally found the opportunity to ask.

"You really don't seem to be afraid of me? You've been close to me for more than eight hours. If you trust me, don't do any dangerous actions or activities during this time.

"If you stay in the orphanage quietly, bad luck will only cause you to fall, step on feces, or kick the corner of the table. Although it's unpleasant, it's not fatal."

Ning Shi didn't care. He reached out his hand and said seriously.

"Hello, Nico, my name is Ning Shi. I grew up in this orphanage. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Nico hesitated for a moment but still stretched out his hand and shook hands with Ning Shi.

He said embarrassedly, "Ever since I learned how to take care of myself when I was five years old, no one has dared to touch me. You're very brave. I can feel that you don't have any fear or dislike for me."

Ning Shi felt that Nico did not reject him, so he changed his plan.

He kept the book and said confidently, "I've never believed in luck. I only believe in myself. It's rare to meet someone of my age in the orphanage. Do you want to have a meal with me?"

Nico was infected by Ning Shi's self-confidence. He smiled and said, "I hope so. No matter what, it's a pleasure to meet you."

The two of them walked side by side to the orphanage's canteen. The little boy, Wang Fu, followed behind them with a one-meter distance between them.

In order to save money, the orphanage only provided two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. The meal time was only half an hour, so Ning Shi and the other two had to speed up.

Ning Shi walked along the corridor to the cafeteria. Who knew that a window at the side of the corridor would suddenly open?

Bang!

Ning Shi couldn't avoid it in time and his whole face was stuck to the windowsill. Suddenly, he saw stars and his nose ached, a red liquid flowing out of his nose.

Nico was very aware and kept a distance of more than a meter away from Ning Shi.

Wang Fu handed him a piece of gray cloth and said, "You can believe in yourself, but you must also believe in luck."

Report chapter Comments

Hearing Wang Fu's words, Ning Shi could not help blushing despite his thick skin.

He took the cloth from Wang Fu and wiped the blood from his nose. He endured the pain on his face and said shamelessly.

"Luck can hurt me, but it cannot defeat me. I have said before that my luck is not good either. This has nothing to do with Nico."

Hearing Ning Shi's words, Nico did not say anything. It was Wang Fu who spoke up mischievously.

"Brother Ning Shi, I'm telling you very seriously. Nico was born with bad luck and he is a muse that everyone hates. Are you sure you want to keep in touch with him?

"If you become his friend, not only will you be rejected by the other people in the orphanage, but you will also encounter all kinds of accidents and dangers in your life."

Ning Shi looked at Wang Fu and Nico and immediately understood that the two were really good friends.

When Wang Fu said that about Nico, he was actually protecting him.

Over the years, because of Nico's looks, many people vowed to be friends with him. In the end, they gave up halfway because of bad luck and the bad reputation of the muse.

Although Nico appeared indifferent on the surface, he was actually very hurt.

There were also some people who, after inadvertently getting close to Nico, were infected by his bad luck. When they encountered some bad things, they would eventually vent their anger on Nico and take revenge.

Therefore, Wang Fu deliberately told Nico's situation to those who were close to him. He even described it in a more exaggerated way to prevent unnecessary trouble.

Ning Shi gently touched his red and swollen nose. He did not answer Wang Fu's question but said to Nico.

"Let's go quickly. If we stay any later, the cafeteria will stop providing food. I don't want to be hungry for the whole night."

After saying that, he continued to walk beside Nico. The two of them headed to the canteen together. 𝒏𝒐𝑣𝗲𝗅𝑈𝓈𝒷.𝑪𝒪𝑚

Ning Shi had already expressed his attitude with his actions.

Although Wang Fu was young, his experience as an orphan made him mature very early. Seeing Ning Shi's behavior, he shook his head and followed behind.

After registering at the entrance of the canteen and punching in, Ning Shi and the other two received their food for the night.

There was a big steamed bun, a bowl of clear soup, and a meatball made from red-eyed rabbit meat.

Red-eyed rabbits were one of the biggest sources of meat on the origin planet. Due to the radiation caused by the war, many animals in the suburbs of the origin planet had mutated, and red-eyed rabbits were one of them.

After the radiation mutation, the red-eyed rabbit not only increased its reproductive ability but also became fatter. Its meat production rate was extremely high, and it rarely fell sick, so it was very easy to raise.

However, this rabbit was a mutated animal after radiation. On the origin planet, only the lower-class people would eat it. The high and mighty nobles would never touch this kind of food.

Seeing the rabbit meatball, Ning Shi inexplicably thought of Gray Earth in the World of Moen. It had tried hard to change the fate of the rabbit-type magical beasts in the World of Moen, but in other worlds, rabbits were still a delicacy on the table.

Ning Shi found a table and sat opposite Nico. As for Wang Fu, he sat down one seat away.

He said to Ning Shi, "If you want to stay with Nico for a long time, it's best for you to be like me and keep a distance of more than one meter from him.

"This distance was something I learned from the lessons I learned through blood and tears.

"Keep this distance and spend no more than 12 hours together a day, and the bad luck you're infected with will be controlled within a certain range.

"At most, you'll lose some money or step on poop. There's absolutely no such thing as bleeding from hitting your head on the window."

Every week, the orphanage would give an allowance of 5 origin coins to orphans above the age of 10, which was about enough to buy two white steamed buns.

It was not a lot of money, but to orphans, having their own money was enough to make them happy. Most orphans valued their pocket money.

Listening to Wang Fu's words, he had lost a lot of money. In a sense, he had lost money to avoid disaster.

Even so, Wang Fu was still willing to be friends with Nico. It could be seen that this boy had his own opinions and his relationship with Nico was not ordinary.

Ning Shi appreciated Wang Fu's good intentions, but he did not intend to stay more than a meter away from Nico.

On one hand, it was the game mission. Within three days, they had to become good friends, not ordinary friends, but good friends.

There were only three days left. Ning Shi could not use the time to accumulate trust and feelings step by step. He could only pay a little painful price to win Nico's favor.

On the other hand, he had previously used the Eye of Truth to obtain information about Nico.

[ Eye of Truth activated. Target: Nico. Mental strength comparison between the host and the target: 10/15, part of the information can be viewed.]

After reading through Nico's information, Ning Shi could only sigh in admiration. He was indeed the child of fate of the Titanium Pole World. Each of his talents was abnormal. The most terrifying thing was that there was a series of ellipses behind his talents and skills.

In other words, in addition to the seven purple talents, Nico also had other talents. As Ning Shi's Spiritual Power was not enough, he could not check all of them.

At the very least, he could guess two things.

One was that Nico must have had some unknown fortuitous encounter. Otherwise, with the orphanage's situation, it would be impossible for him to learn how to repair mechanical items and meditate.

The other situation regarding bad luck was not what Wang Fu had said. The distance of one meter he had mentioned should be due to his body getting used to bad luck after being in contact with Nico for a long time. The influence of bad luck had become smaller.

If Ning Shi's main body was here now, with the talent of the Overlord body, mere bad luck would probably not affect him at all.

According to the system's explanation of bad luck, since it was Ning Shi's first day in contact with Nico, the influence of bad luck was the greatest. That was why the effect was so immediate and an unfortunate event immediately occurred.

After that, the influence of bad luck would gradually weaken.

In other words, today's bad luck was the worst, and he only hit the window.

There would not be any danger to his life.

Ning Shi's mind was spinning as he said to Wang Fu, "How long has it been since you were so close to Nico? Maybe you can sit closer. I admit that luck is important, but it is not fatal."

Seeing that Wang Fu was still hesitating, Ning Shi didn't mind. He took a big bite of the bun and swallowed it with the soup.

However, before the soup entered his mouth, a large mouthful of bun slipped down his throat.

Ning Shi felt that his windpipe was blocked, and he could not help rolling his eyes, his face turning red.

Fortunately, Titanium Pole World also had methods similar to Heimlich's first aid method, and Nico happened to understand it.

He very skillfully hugged Ning Shi's abdomen from behind, one fist on his abdomen, the other hand pressed on the fist, rhythmically pressing on Ning Shi's abdomen.

After three to five times, a lump of dough was spat out from Ning Shi's mouth.

Splat!

Ning Shi took a deep breath, his lungs finally coming to life.

This time, it was even more embarrassing than hitting the window. Ning Shi had just shamelessly boasted to Wang Fu that it was not fatal, but in the next second, he almost choked to death on a steamed bun.

Fortunately, Wang Fu had been deeply hurt by bad luck, so he looked at Ning Shi with the expression of sympathy of someone in the same boat instead of mocking him.

As for Nico, he simply said, "Ning Shi, I think it's better for you to stay away from me. I'm well-versed in all kinds of first aid knowledge and have rich practical experience. You know what this means."

This meant that many of Nico's people had been in life-threatening danger and some had even died. Nico had been forced to become a first aid master.

In fact, one of Nico's skills was first-aid Tier 3. Unfortunately, Ning Shi's mental strength was insufficient and he did not detect it.

If he had known this information, Ning Shi would definitely not have arbitrarily guessed that bad luck was not fatal.

At this time, Ning Shi once again remembered the game system's prompt when he had entered this world. The Titanium Pole World was very dangerous, and the power of the world's will was very strong.

This was reflected in Nico's ability to use bad luck. If he was not careful, he would lose his life. 𝒏𝒐𝑣𝗲𝗅𝑈𝓈𝒷.𝑪𝒪𝑚

This kind of feeling was a bit similar to Saturn's horror movie: Here Comes the Grim Reaper.

If one didn't pay attention to it, one would die from various accidents.

Ning Shi's life in the World of Moen had always been smooth. He had crushed everything he encountered, so his self-confidence was a little inflated.

As a result, he had thought too simply of the Titanium Pole World, which had led to a head-on blow.

When he came into contact with Nico, not only was he unlucky and almost choked to death, but he had also not developed any intimacy with Nico.

This showed that Nico was somewhat interested in Ning Shi.

However, he didn't treat him as a friend, let alone a good friend.

The game system gave a prompt.

[ In the World of Moen, due to the weak will of the world, the world's origin treasures are hidden, so the game system has exerted a lot of subtle influence on the world. ]

[ The host's interaction with the child of destiny, Lena, and the others were all guided by the world's essence power in the dark, so the character intimacy increased very quickly, and the difficulty of completing the mission was not high. ]

[ However, the will of this world is strong, and the game system is unable to exert too much influence. The host should be cautious and develop a low profile. ]

[ Another reminder: The game mission is only to guide the host's development direction. Other than the main mission, all the other missions are not mandatory. ]

Report chapter Comments

The system's notification woke Ning Shi up. The killing between the hosts of the origin treasure was based on their strength.

His ultimate goal in coming to the Titanium Pole World this time was definitely the world's origin treasure. Since that was the case, Ning Shi wanted to rely on himself to improve his strength.

He didn't want to rely on the so-called child of fate. 𝑛𝑜𝗏𝗲𝒍𝑢𝓈𝔅.𝕔𝑜𝗆

There was no doubt that Nico would become very powerful in the future.

Nico was talented in many ways and he was very powerful in every aspect. However, he was able to learn mechanical maintenance skills in the orphanage. Furthermore, he had the ability to emit bad luck and was very skilled in first aid.

It could be inferred that many people had died in the orphanage over the years because of him.

All in all, Nico not only killed people, but he was also a muse hated by everyone. However, he was living well in the orphanage.

All of this showed that there must be an unknown person or force protecting Nico.

Ning Shi's rash contact would not only be killed by bad luck, but it would also increase the risk of exposing himself.

The loss outweighs the gain.

The game system had given him three days to complete Nico's mission. Perhaps it was to remind him to pay attention to Nico and not to approach him by force.

Moreover, this mission was almost impossible to complete now.

Nico's heart was extremely strong and her mind was very mature.

Due to his muse identity and his ability to have bad luck, he had been feared and spurned by people since he was young. He had been hurt many times when it came to making friends.

He would be extremely wary of any stranger.

Under such circumstances, it would be good enough if Ning Shi could become ordinary friends with him within three days. It was impossible to become good friends.

After thinking through all this, Ning Shi said with a smile, "Nico, you are right. I should respect Wang Fu's professional judgment and your good intentions."

After that, Ning Shi took the dishes and sat opposite Wang Fu, keeping a certain distance from Nico.

The three of them ate their dinner in silence.

After the meal, Nico invited Ning Shi to go to the reading room to read with him. However, Ning Shi refused. He still had important things to do.

Looking at Ning Shi's back, Wang Fu shrugged and said to Nico, "Another normal person who cowered. Perhaps I'm the only one in the world who is muddleheaded and insists on being your friend."

Nico did not answer. He just looked at Ning Shi's back thoughtfully.

In his perception, Ning Shi had sincerely wanted to be his friend before, and he really didn't mind his identity and bad luck.

However, for some reason, Ning Shi's attitude suddenly became a little colder after the meal.

Nico did not think too much about it. Over the years, there were too many people like Ning Shi who retreated in the face of difficulties. He had long been used to it.

Following his memory, Ning Shi came to the Director's office of the orphanage. The Old Director, Song Yuan, was writing something on the desk.

Ning Shi knocked on the door. Song Yuan raised his white head and pushed down the glasses on the bridge of his nose. He rolled his eyes slightly and saw Ning Shi's face clearly.

"Hello Ning Shi, is there something you need from me?"

"Director, I'll be 18 in five days. According to the law, I'll have to leave the orphanage when I'm of age.

"I've been living in the hospital for eight years, and I've always been grateful for everyone's care. So, I want to help the hospital do something within my power in the last few days.

"I heard that the back kitchen of the cafeteria has always been short of people, especially butchers. I'm willing to be a volunteer."

Ning Shi had walked around the orphanage during the day, and it wasn't without any gains. At least, from the communication of the orphanage staff, he learned that the cafeteria was short of butchers.

Sword Shield City Orphanage No. 15 took up a large area and more than 10,000 orphans lived there. In order to save money, the orphanage raised red-eyed rabbits and other carnivorous animals.

Although red-eyed rabbits were rabbits, their bodies had become bigger and stronger after their genes had mutated due to radiation. Without professional skills, they could easily get injured when killing rabbits.

No one liked bloody and dangerous work, and capable experts also looked down on slaughtering work, so butchers had always been in short supply in the cafeteria.

But this position was just right for Ning Shi. Although his doppelganger didn't copy the skills of the main body, the swordsmanship and fist techniques in Ning Shi's consciousness were still there.

With his swordsmanship skills, killing rabbits was as easy as turning his hand.

This was a free source of experience, and Ning Shi urgently needed to kill monsters to level up.

Hearing Ning Shi's words, Wei Yuan examined him and sighed, "Ning Shi, you've also grown up, but slaughtering has a certain degree of danger. Red-eyed rabbits are all raised in captivity. You need to capture them and then slaughter them. This is not an easy task."

The Old Director had obviously misunderstood. He thought that Ning Shi was laying the foundation for his job after leaving the orphanage.

"Since you're interested in learning the art of slaughtering, I'll inform the butcher master, Old Li. After you go there, you can learn from him.

"As long as you study hard and master the slaughtering technique, I will let you stay in the orphanage and pay you as a butcher.

"Although the butchering job is not decent, the salary is not bad. It is enough for you to support yourself and even find a woman to start a family.

"If you master the slaughtering technique, you can stay in the orphanage and not have to go to the dangerous suburbs to explore and hunt. This is a good choice."

Ning Shi didn't correct the Old Director's misunderstanding. He said seriously, "Thank you, Director!"

The Old Director called Old Li in front of Ning Shi and explained everything. Then, he said to Ning Shi.

"Go to the farm at 3:30 a.m. tomorrow to find Old Li. He will arrange your work."

Ning Shi expressed his thanks once again and left the director's office.

Thinking that he would have to start killing rabbits again in the early hours of the next morning, he still couldn't get around the rabbit after going one round.

There was no helping it. Rabbits would always be the best choice to gain experience.

"The next day, at 3 am, the sky was dark and the orphanage was silent. Only the corner of the building had a faint light on.

Ning Shi followed the light and walked quietly in the corridor.

He walked alone in the huge orphanage. There was no one around, and he could only hear her own footsteps. The atmosphere suddenly became a little gloomy and terrifying.

Ning Shi always felt that someone was spying on him in the dark.

Although the current game avatar was an ordinary person, his Spiritual Power had not reached an extraordinary level, and his perception was limited, Ning Shi would not doubt his own feelings.

He knew that he had rashly approached Nico yesterday and had attracted some people's attention.

Someone had already started to monitor his every move.

Ning Shi pretended not to know anything and walked forward unhurriedly. About 20 minutes later, he arrived at the farm located in the back mountain of the orphanage.

Ning Shi deliberately arrived ten minutes earlier than the agreed time, but Old Li arrived even earlier.

Old Li's entire body was black. He had black hair, black eyes, dark skin, a black shirt, and black pants. When he spoke, his teeth were also black because he often chewed on the black smoke fruit, a specialty of the Norse Republic.

If he wasn't standing under the dim yellow light, Ning Shi almost couldn't see him.

Seeing Ning Shi's arrival, Old Li stood up first and touched Ning Shi's body carefully with his calloused hands. After a while, he nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad, Ning Shi. You have a thick bone structure, suitable for wielding a knife. The muscles on your arms, waist, and thighs are firm and elastic. I can see that you have a habit of exercising, and your physical fitness is excellent.

"I'll accept you as my disciple."

Old Li took out a stinky black smoke fruit from his shirt pocket and handed it to Ning Shi.

"Xiao Ning, do you want a black smoke fruit?"

The black smoke fruit was like a Saturn cigarette. It had the effect of refreshing and relieving stress. Old Li had been a butcher for his entire life and had to get up early every day.

In order to keep himself awake and to relieve the depression in his heart, he had to chew at least 10 black smoke fruits a day.

This kind of black smoke fruit was more common in the suburbs, and the production was also very high, so the price was not expensive, and it was loved by the common people.

"Thank you, master," Ning Shi waved his hand and said, "I'm willing to learn slaughtering skills from you, but I don't chew this." 𝒏𝑜𝓋𝚎𝐋𝓊𝗌𝑏.𝓒𝗈𝓂

Since Old Li said that he wanted to take him as a disciple, Ning Shi thought about it and decided to take advantage of the situation and acknowledge this relationship.

There were still people monitoring his behavior in the dark. If Ning Shi chose to refuse the relatively good job of butchering and still refused the master who wanted to teach him a skill, such behavior would not fit his identity as an orphan.

After suffering a loss yesterday, Ning Shi knew that since the system had given him identity information, he had to play the role of an orphan now. Every move had to be done from the perspective of an orphan.

Hearing that Ning Shi had changed to calling him master, Old Li smiled, showing his neat black teeth. He threw the black smoke fruit into his mouth and chewed a few times before saying.

"It's good that you don't chew this. If you get into the habit of chewing black smoke fruits, you won't be able to quit in the future even if you want to. After today's slaughter is finished, you can move to the breeding ground. The conditions here are much better than your previous single room."

Old Li was almost 60 years old. People were very long-winded when they got older. Moreover, he was not married and had no children. He was always alone and needed someone to talk to.

Therefore, he was especially talkative.

"Xiao Ning, let me tell you, if you master the slaughtering technique, you will be the number one figure in the orphanage. You don't even have to be afraid of the director.

"I'm old and not as energetic as I used to be. I can't handle the slaughter alone.

"I've been looking for Old Song to ask for people, but the people he sent me were all ugly and ugly. I've driven them away.

"I'm very satisfied with your visit this time. I'll leave my mantle to you in the future."

"Thank you, master," Ning Shi said respectfully. "I'll definitely work hard."

Following this conversation, the game system sent a prompt.

[ The host has successfully taken up a new profession. You have become a professional butcher. The Character Template has been unlocked. Please learn the relevant skills from Old Li. ]

[ Butcher: A profession that combines strength and skill. It may seem crude, but it has unlimited potential. In the world of Tai Chi, many creatures' corpses need to be handled by professional butchers. ]

[ Profession requirements: Physique 9, Spiritual Power 8 ]

Seeing the system notification, Ning Shi secretly felt lucky. Since the game system still required him to take up a new profession first before he could awaken his Character Template, if he had not taken Old Li as his master, then even if he killed the rabbit, he would not have gotten any professional experience.

He would be unable to level up.

Moreover, Titanium Pole World was indeed extremely difficult. The butcher profession required nine physique points and a Spiritual Power of eight points. This was very difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

No wonder Old Li had driven away many people before, and his attitude was very gentle after seeing Ning Shi.

There were people who met the requirements of the butcher profession and could inherit Old Li's legacy.

However, such a person was considered a talent and was not willing to be a butcher.

Those who were willing to come didn't meet the requirements, and those who met the requirements didn't want to come. This was Old Li's problem. Now that he had Ning Shi as his successor, his fiery temper had changed.

He was very good to Ning Shi.

He took out the alloy knife that he had not used for a long time and handed it to Ning Shi.

"This is a gift for you. It's 107cm long, 41cm wide, and weighs 43 pounds. The blade is made of precious E-level alloy.

Ning Shi took the knife and was very touched. This knife was very precious and was worth more than one million origin coins. Old Li had given him such a precious gift when they first met.

Report chapter Comments

Ning Shi had read related books in the reading room.

The appearance of superalloy brought about a complete revolution in the material production of the Titanium Pole World. It was precisely because of the existence of superalloy that the manufacturing of mechas was possible. Mankind could rely on the toughness and special characteristics of superalloy to fly into space and begin the era of interstellar colonization.

Superalloy was extremely precious. Even the lowest Grade E-level alloy had a high price. The material cost of a 43-pound E-level alloy butcher knife alone was close to a million origin coins.

This did not even include the cost of making the butcher's knife. 𝑛𝑜𝗏𝗲𝒍𝑢𝓈𝔅.𝕔𝑜𝗆

The back of this butcher's knife was straight, and the blade was curved like a crescent moon. Overall, it looked a little wide and bloated, as if it was a little heavy.

Old Li explained, "A butcher usually has three knives. One is used to kill, one is used to debone, and one is used to cut meat.

"However, our sect belongs to the One Blade and we only use one knife. Give me the knife."

Ning Shi handed over the butcher knife, and Old Li opened the gate of the farm.

The farm was built at the foot of the mountain behind the orphanage. It covered an area of 300 acres and was surrounded by a wall as high as 8 meters. The red-eyed rabbits' maximum jumping ability was about 6-7 meters, so the 8-meter wall was enough to prevent them from escaping.

Unlike normal rabbits that were afraid of water, red-eyed rabbits had strong bodies and were not afraid of getting wet. They would not get sick even if they ate grass with water.

Therefore, there was no cap on the breeding ground.

In the breeding ground, piles and piles of fodder were everywhere. The ground was dark brown, and the air was filled with the smell of blood. Obviously, in order to save space and cost, the slaughtering work was completed in the breeding ground.

The red-eyed rabbits were not affected by the smell of blood at all. Some of them were eating non-stop beside the pile of hay, while others were jumping around.

Each of these rabbits was more than a meter long. They were chubby and fat, resembling balls and looking a little cute.

Although they were fat, they were not slow at all. The red-eyed rabbits could jump three to five meters with a casual jump.

This kind of jump showed that the red-eyed rabbit had high agility and strength.

After Old Li entered the farm, his lazy expression changed to one of extreme seriousness and concentration.

This was the attitude of a professional butcher.

He raised the butcher's knife, and Ning Shi felt a strong Baleful Qi exuding from him. It was the killing aura accumulated from decades of work as a butcher.

"Watch carefully!"

Old Li said indifferently. The heavy butcher's knife in his hand seemed to come to life and became extremely agile all of a sudden.

A knife shadow streaked across, and a red-eyed rabbit fell into a pool of blood. On the rabbit's neck, a perfect wound appeared, cutting off its trachea.

Judging from the wound, the knife had only cut through the rabbit's fur and windpipe. The other parts of the rabbit were unharmed.

Ning Shi's face was full of admiration. Old Li's attainments in saber techniques, except for the lack of sword intent, were definitely not weaker than his own.

Old Li continued, "We're the One Blade Butchers.

"The definition of One Blade has three layers of meaning.

"We only use one blade to kill to reduce the living's pain.

"From killing to slaughtering, we only use one knife throughout the entire process, and we befriend the butcher knife in our hands.

"The ultimate goal of the One Blade is to dismember the flesh with just one blade."

After explaining the concept of the One Blade, Old Li easily lifted the red-eyed rabbit that weighed more than a hundred catties and went to the slaughtering greenhouse on the east side of the breeding ground.

There was a chopping board and a refrigerator here. Old Li didn't hold back at all and taught Ning Shi the slaughtering skills step by step.

"If I didn't know about the red-eyed rabbit before and it was the first time I slaughtered it, we would first have to observe the shape of the red-eyed rabbit to determine which type of creature it is. The body of every type of creature has some common characteristics.

"After that, we need to use our hands to touch the red-eyed rabbit's body, especially to feel the red-eyed rabbit's bones, spine, and meridians.

"We'll cut off the red-eyed rabbit's limbs along its spine and meridians. We'll separate the different parts and categorize them.

"Experienced butchers can tell at a glance which parts of the red-eyed rabbit are useful, which parts can be eaten, and which parts can't. This is the judgment method.

"The red-eyed rabbit's blood contained a small number of radiation elements, which are harmful to the human body and should not be eaten. Similarly, its bone marrow should not be eaten.

"When eating red-eyed rabbit meat, make sure it's all cooked to reduce the toxins caused by radiation and reach the standard for human consumption.

"In order to learn the skills of a butcher, you not only need to know how to use a knife, but you also need to learn and study the body structure of various living creatures. In my room, there are a few books related to this. You must memorize all of these books."

In Ning Shi's original understanding, butchering was a job of slaughtering and cutting, but after Old Li's teaching, he found that this was a very profound skill.

No wonder the game system said that butchers had a lot of potential.

As Old Li taught him, he completely cut the red-eyed rabbit. The meat was soaked in water to further remove the blood in the meat.

Old Li showed Ning Shi the whole slaughter process and then said.

"What you need the most now is to build a good foundation. Practice your slaughter during the day and memorize books at night. This will be your life from now on."

Ning Shi could build his foundation, but he had to shorten this process. He needed to obtain the qualification to kill the red-eyed rabbit as soon as possible.

For this, he needed to show his ability.

Ning Shi had completely exposed his attainments in swordsmanship, which was too shocking. However, he couldn't follow the routine either, as that would be too slow.

Perhaps it would be best to create the image of a swordsmanship genius.

Report chapter Comments

"Master," Ning Shi said, "I've liked knives since I was young. I have a special feeling for knives, so I want to be a butcher."

Old Li didn't mind Ning Shi's foreshadowing. He thought that Ning Shi was just saying it casually.

Who knew that Ning Shi would give him such a huge surprise?

The method of practicing the knife skill was simple and crude. Old Li asked Ning Shi to take a 10-pound butcher knife and swing it at a hard wooden stake.

On the side of the wooden stake, there was a mark. Ning Shi's knife must hit the edge of the mark.

To Ning Shi, who had experience in swordsmanship, this was child's play.

In order to be reasonable, Ning Shi initially cut three or four times out of every 10 times near the score.

As he practiced, Ning Shi gradually made sure that five or six out of every ten slashes would land on the designated position.

Even after hundreds of swings, Ning Shi's arms were already sore, but he still guaranteed his hit rate.

This made Old Li very surprised. He asked Ning Shi, "Have you practiced swordsmanship before?"

In fact, this was a very stupid question. How could an orphan in an orphanage have the conditions to practice swordsmanship?

Ning Shi shook his head. "I've never practiced it. I just have a special feeling for knives. Holding a knife in my hand feels like an extension of my arm."

Old Li looked at Ning Shi as if he was looking at a rare treasure.

After a while, he stopped his slaughtering work, took out a black smoke fruit, and put it in his mouth. He chewed hard and then sighed.

"Xiao Ning, you're a one-in-ten-thousand swordsmanship genius. I can't be too selfish and ruin your future.

"With your talent, you might be able to pass the mecha training and become a noble mecha master. In today's society, everything is low-grade, but mechas are the highest.

"Even if you can't become a mecha master, you can still become a swordsman in the city's martial arts school. Swordsmen belong to the elite class of society.

"Although being a butcher has a certain future, it's not a decent job after all."

Ning Shi wasn't interested in any martial arts school. Could martial arts schools kill monsters to level up? As for mechas, that was still a long way off.

Becoming a butcher was still the best. He stopped swinging his knife and wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Master, I quite like being a butcher. Even if I don't work in the orphanage in the future and have other paths, I will still not give up the inheritance and profession of a butcher."

In fact, Old Li was also reluctant to part with a genius successor like Ning Shi. What he said just now was really for Ning Shi's sake. Hearing Ning Shi say this, he no longer insisted.

He left the farm, turned back to his room, took out a big box, and handed it to Ning Shi.

"This is jelly meat that I obtained when I was exploring in my early years. This is the essence of a Level 3 radioactive creature. If you eat a bite every day, it will ensure that you have the energy for a day's training and can also improve your physical fitness.

"The meat won't go bad, just put it in a safe place. Remember, you can only take a small bite a day. If you eat too much, you will be poisoned. The meat must be eaten raw. It tastes good, but it must not be cooked. Otherwise, it will lose more than half of its nutrition.

"Don't worry, although the butcher profession is crude, as long as you practice well, you will have a good future."

Old Li really took Ning Shi as his last disciple. Jelly meat was a very precious extraordinary material. It was difficult to buy it even if you had money.

Ning Shi remembered Old Li's kindness in his heart and would definitely repay him in the future.

He could feel that Old Li was also a butcher with a story, but he did not ask much. The most important thing now was to kill monsters and level up.

Ning Shi opened the box. There was a large piece of red flesh that looked like jelly inside. Ning Shi picked up a spoon, scooped a spoonful of it, and put it into his mouth.

The texture was extremely tender and smooth. After entering the mouth, not only did it not have any bloody smell, but it also had a faint sweetness.

After a bite of the jelly meat, Ning Shi felt a warm current rising from his stomach, and his sore arms were suddenly full of strength again.

He continued to practice his knife skills. With the support of the jelly meat, Ning Shi wielded his knife thousands of times.

Ning Shi controlled the rhythm. After swinging his knife thousands of times, he began to improve his hit rate and cut the same position of the wooden stake hundreds of times in a row.

Crack!

The thick and solid wooden stake broke from the mark, and the upper half of the wooden stake fell to the ground.

It was already seven o'clock in the morning. Old Li looked at the broken wooden stake and said, "According to the rules of the One Blade, you're qualified to kill living creatures after you cut off a wooden stake made of ironwood.

"I didn't think you'd be able to share my workload so quickly." 𝓝𝔬𝓥𝗲𝐋𝐮𝕊𝑏.𝗰𝑶𝑚

Old Li handed the alloy knife to Ning Shi and said, "Let's go, the young must see blood."

After being in Titanium Pole World for an entire day, he could finally kill monsters to level up. Ning Shi suppressed the joy in his heart.

He was still playing the role of a newbie who was killing for the first time. In the midst of his confusion, he was lucky enough to kill a red-eyed rabbit.

[ Killed a red-eyed rabbit. Gained 2 experience points. ]

The jelly meat was very magical. Ning Shi had trained for so long, but he still felt full of energy and didn't feel any fatigue.

As expected, the poor studied while the rich trained. Without jelly meat, Ning Shi's strength would probably be exhausted after swinging his knife hundreds of times a day. But now, he could keep training and killing monsters.

A bite of jelly meat saved him at least half a month's cultivation time.

Under Old Li's care, Ning Shi gradually got used to killing, and the process of killing the red-eyed rabbits became smoother and smoother.

[ Killed a red-eyed rabbit. Gained 2 experience points.]

…

[ Killed a red-eyed rabbit. Gained 2 experience points.]

After killing 25 red-eyed rabbits and accumulating 50 experience points, Ning Shi finally leveled up.

[ Butcher has been upgraded to Tier 2 (0/100). Physique 1, skill point 1, potential point 1. ]

Report chapter Comments

Seeing the upgrade notification, Ning Shi's anxious heart instantly calmed down. As long as he could upgrade, his strength would increase rapidly.

With his physique increased to 11 points, he had once again exceeded the limit of an ordinary human. Ning Shi's speed of wielding his sword was even faster.

It was just that he hadn't learned any skills yet, so Ning Shi had already accumulated his skill points and potential points.

He continued to slaughter the red-eyed rabbits.

[ Killed a red-eyed rabbit. Gained 2 experience points.]

…

The red-eyed rabbit's killing power was actually greater than the wild boar on Saturn. It was just that it was smaller than the wild boar, but in terms of speed and strength, it was stronger than the wild boar.

Ning Shi often needed to observe carefully and wait for an opportunity to find the red-eyed rabbit's weakness and kill it in one blow.

Ning Shi's current physique was 11 points, just breaking through the limit of ordinary human beings. Even with the physical support of jelly meat and the assistance of swordsmanship experience, the speed of killing red-eyed rabbits was not fast.

It took more than three hours until 12 o'clock in the afternoon. Ning Shi had killed another 50 red-eyed rabbits and accumulated 100 points of experience.

[ Butcher has been upgraded to Tier 3 (0/200). Physique 1, skill point 1, potential point 1. ]

After leveling up again, his physique had increased to 12 points, and his skill points and potential points had both accumulated to 2 points. Ning Shi was thrilled and was about to continue swinging his knife.

However, Old Li, who had been dissecting the red-eyed rabbit's flesh in the slaughter pen, said, "It's time to eat. Xiao Ning, take a break and eat first. Jelly meat can restore your strength, but it can't replace food. You'll still be hungry if you don't eat."

Hearing Old Li's words, Ning Shi felt hungry.

He had been here since 3:30 a.m. And had only taken a small bite of jelly meat.

Previously, he was so immersed in the thrill of killing monsters and leveling up that he didn't notice it. Now that he heard Old Li say that it was time to eat, he couldn't help salivating at the corner of his mouth, and his stomach began to growl.

Old Li took Ning Shi to the sink to wash up, and then they went to the dormitory provided by the breeding ground for the butcher.

It was a three-story bungalow with seven rooms, two halls, and three bathrooms. Although the decoration was simple, it had all the facilities.

Old Li was the only one living in the entire house.

When the two of them walked into the dining room of the house, the orphanage's Auntie in charge of cooking had already placed a sumptuous meal on the table.

Ning Shi glanced at it. There were four dishes and a soup, all of which were meat dishes, and there were a lot of them.

Compared to the food and accommodation of the orphans, this place was heaven.

These conditions were probably the best in the entire orphanage.

Old Li gestured for Ning Shi to take a seat, and smilingly ladled a bowl of fragrant rice for Ning Shi, speaking as he ate.

"Are you curious as to why my living environment is so good?"

Ning Shi took the rice and didn't respond to Old Li's words. Instead, he picked up a large piece of spicy rabbit meat and ate it with the rice.

The rest was not important. He had to fill his stomach first.

Old Li wasn't angry at Ning Shi's nonchalant behavior but said to himself.

"Because of the battle of the two cities, the entire origin planet was ravaged by radioactive creatures. In order to fight against the radioactive creatures, the Norse Republic adopted a model of a combination of brigade and mercenaries.

"Specifically, in Sword Shield City, there is the 2nd Division of the 3rd Army of the republic, which is the city protection army of Sword Shield City, with a total of 50,000 people.

"They'll defend the city and stop the invasion of the radioactive creatures.

"In order to prevent the excessive number of radioactive creatures in the suburbs, the army would go out of the city every month to sweep and kill the radioactive creatures. They would also obtain some precious resources in the suburbs.

"In order to mobilize the power of the people, the government established a mercenary system. Any citizen over the age of 18 could apply to become a mercenary.

"After becoming a mercenary, they can legally purchase and use hot or cold weapons from the government.

"When mercenaries explored the suburbs, not only could they find precious resources and become rich overnight, but they could also get a corresponding reward from the officials if they killed radioactive creatures.

"Although mercenaries are dangerous, their pay is very high."

Ning Shi didn't interrupt and continued to work. What Old Li said seemed to have nothing to do with his treatment in the orphanage, but Ning Shi knew that he must have a reason for saying this.

Old Li's mouth didn't stop talking, but his hands didn't slow down either. With a move of his chopsticks, he picked up a large piece of meat and put it in his mouth. He chewed a few times and swallowed it.

He continued.

"Our city is like an isolated island, surrounded by an ocean of radioactive creatures. The resources in the city have become very limited, and the lives of ordinary people are extremely difficult."

Ning Shi had learned about the life of ordinary people from books.

As the mother planet of the human race, the origin planet was very technologically advanced. All kinds of electronic equipment and communication network were very advanced. There were flying city cars, national battleships, and interstellar mechas.

Although there were countries on the origin planet, the basic governing system was the system of aristocrats.

Sometimes, the rapid development of science and technology did not mean that social relations would become more and more civilized. On the contrary, it would gradually become feudal.

With the development of technology, resources were more and more concentrated in the hands of a small number of people.

Some families used the power of technology to control a large number of resources and gradually formed a noble class.

These nobles usually controlled an entire city or an entire region.

Among all the aristocrats on the origin planet, the Qin family of Cannon City and the Smith family of Skylight City were the two biggest aristocrats. 𝑛𝑜𝗏𝗲𝒍𝑢𝓈𝔅.𝕔𝑜𝗆

The two families each gathered a large number of noble forces and ruled the origin planet together.

In the origin planet's year 10032, a helium-energy mine with an astonishing amount of helium energy was discovered near Arc City, a subsidiary of the Qin family.

The reserves of this helium-energy mine reached 10 trillion tons, more than all the helium-energy mines discovered on the origin planet in the past combined.

Helium energy was a very powerful energy. Whether it was an interstellar battleship or a variety of mechas, their core power depended on helium energy.

For the nobles, the helium energy mine meant money and power.

In order to compete for this helium energy mine, the Qin family and the Smith family used the muse woman, Heliana, as an excuse to start a war.

In the beginning, both sides were very rational. The form of the war was to support their respective proxy forces to fight on a local scale, and the intensity of the war had been controlled within an acceptable range.

Both families knew that no one could monopolize the helium-energy mine. The final result would definitely be a negotiation where the two families would develop the helium-energy mine together.

The only goal of the war was to help the two families fight for more benefits at the negotiation table.

This war was supposed to be all talk and no action.

That was until the only legal heir of the Smith family, Solan, was bewitched. In order to show off his bravery, he impulsively participated in the war.

Then, he was killed in the war for no reason.

The scope of the war went out of control.

All kinds of battleships and mechas were deployed. The battle between the two sides became more and more intense, and finally, it affected the helium-energy mine near Arc City.

The ten trillion tons of helium-energy mine triggered a huge explosion. Countless cities and civilizations were reduced to ruins, and the radiation released by helium energy gradually infected the creatures on the origin planet.

Since then, radioactive creatures had been rampant on the origin planet, and all kinds of resources had disappeared in the big explosion.

The funny thing was that the nobles led by the Qin family and the Smith family weren't affected too much.

After the war went out of control, they took spaceships and hid on other planets. The civilization on the origin planet was destroyed by the war, but these people still enjoyed the decadent life of nobles.

The origin planet was abandoned by the nobles.

After the great explosion, the remaining people rebuilt their homes in the ruins.

With some of the technology left behind before the war, humans once again established a country, named the Norse Republic.

The original purpose of the Norse Republic was to ensure everyone's equality, abolish the aristocratic system, unite all humans, and fight against radioactive creatures.

Unfortunately, time would change everything. Where there were people, there would be social classes.

It was the 177th year of the Norse Republic's founding. The aristocratic system had long been restored. Sword Shield City, for example, was ruled by the Sword Shield Count of the Hilda family.

The Sword Shield City Army that Old Li mentioned, the 2nd division of the 3rd army of the republic, was nominally under the jurisdiction of the Norse Republic, but in fact, it was the private army of the Hilda family.

With the radiation creatures wreaking havoc outside and the oppression of the aristocrats inside, it would be a wonder if the lives of ordinary people could be good.

Old Li paused for a moment before continuing, "Many people have no choice but to become mercenaries in order to make a living. The number of mercenaries is extremely large.

"These mercenaries continued to explore the wild and fight with radioactive creatures. A very small number of lucky people were able to obtain opportunities and become rich overnight, never having to worry about food and clothing.

"Most of the mercenaries' final fate was to die under the claws of the radioactive creatures.

"As a result, there were many orphans in the city. These orphans were a resource for the population, and the government would not leave them alone, so many orphanages were set up.

"In Sword Shield City, there are a total of 37 orphanages, and No. 15 is only one of them."

Old Li sighed and looked at Ning Shi in silence, then said slowly, "I've seen your information. Your parents used to be mercenaries. You should have a deep understanding of this."

Ning Shi nodded heavily. There were more than 10000 permanent orphans in Orphanage No. 15, and this was only the permanent population, not including adopted orphans.

This meant that there were more than a million orphans in Sword Shield City. It was a shocking number.

Behind every orphan was the tragic death of their parents and the destruction of their families.

The current origin planet was still in an era of war, so it was not strange to have such data. 𝑵𝗈𝗏𝓮𝑙𝗎𝗌𝚋.𝗰𝒐𝑀

The orphanage could be built because of the Norse Republic.

Although the aristocrats had risen again, the concept of equality was still spread in the Norse Republic.

The current power of the nobles was restricted by the Norse Republic in many ways, and their power had been greatly weakened.

Otherwise, the nobles might not have been willing to build an orphanage.

Old Li continued, "Under the government's organization, the orphanage was built, but there are so many orphans. They need money to eat, drink, and live. The country has special funds, but it's far from enough for the orphanage.

"Therefore, most of the orphanages would find ways to set up one or two businesses to earn some money to supplement the orphanage's expenses."

Ning Shi poured the oil from the spicy rabbit meat into the rice, stirred it, and ate it in big mouthfuls. Hearing Old Li's words, he spoke for the first time.

"You mean, the money-making business of our orphanage is the breeding ground?"

Old Li nodded and said with a smile, "That's right. Our orphanage is located near the only mountain in the city – Sword Rock Mountain. There are many plants and vegetation resources, so we opened a farming business based on local conditions.

"There are a total of three breeding farms in the yard. One is the one you just saw, the red-eyed rabbit farm, and the other two are the long-tailed chicken and the steel-hide pig.

"Among them, the steel-hide pig farm is the most valuable because there are no radiation elements in the steel-hide pig's body. It's a favorite food of the city's nobles and elites, and can be sold for a good price."

Report chapter Comments

Hearing Old Li's words, an ordinary butcher apprentice would probably complain in his heart. Three breeding farms meant a lot of slaughtering work.

But Ning Shi was very happy. This was all experience!

Ning Shi had been worried before that a red-eyed rabbit would weigh about a hundred catties. With the consumption of the orphanage's canteen alone, killing a hundred red-eyed rabbits a day would be enough.

Now it seemed that the breeding ground did not only provide food for the orphanage, but also an industry.

Then the number of kills every day would be huge.

As expected, Old Li finally went straight to the point.

"Because the farm is the most profitable, and the most difficult and toughest job on the farm is the butcher, our treatment is very good. According to the number of slaughters on the farm, we need at least 10 ordinary butchers, so the orphanage built a house for all the butchers to live in.

"However, because I, your master, am amazing and have done the work of 10 people by myself, this house is mine alone. My salary is also very high, with a monthly salary of 200,000 origin coins."

Old Li bragged about himself. Ning Shi knew that this butcher master of his was not ordinary. He was not an ordinary butcher, but a professional butcher with an inherited sect.

"Master, you're amazing. You're in charge of the butchering of three slaughterhouses," he complimented him directly.

Ning Shi's flattery was really low-level, but Old Li enjoyed it very much. He grinned, revealing his neat black teeth, and smiled very happily.

"Xiao Ning, study hard. With your talent, it won't be long before you'll be as good as me.

"However, I have to make it clear to you first that you will have a very hard time in the coming days. Not only do you have to learn the skills of a butcher, but you also have a lot of work to do.

"Our workload is based on the orders from the farm. In order to improve efficiency, we usually only slaughter one animal a day. Today we will slaughter 800 red-eyed rabbits, tomorrow we will slaughter 1000 long-tail chickens, and the day after, we will slaughter 500 steel-hair pigs.

"Business is off-peak these few days, so the workload isn't heavy.

"You're very talented, but in order to grow, you must work hard!"

Even if it was off-season, it was still a terrifying workload. Old Li had to kill nearly a thousand red-eyed rabbits a day and cut all the rabbit meat. If it wasn't for his superhuman physical fitness and professional skills, it was impossible to complete it.

No wonder Old Li had asked the Old Director Song Yuan to recruit other butchers to help.

Old Li said these words to let Ning Shi be prepared to suffer. He had thought that Ning Shi would be afraid of difficulties after hearing these words. He had already prepared words of comfort and encouragement.

Who knew that Ning Shi's expression was extremely happy?

He smiled and said, "Don't worry, master. I'm not afraid of hardships! I can practice my knife skills by killing. I'll practice killing first, and after that, I'll learn how to cut."

Ning Shi's top priority was to upgrade, so he said that. Old Li didn't object.

He only said, "You have a strong talent in knife skills. You can learn how to kill first. However, you also have to learn how to cut. The two are one. There is no distinction between them." 𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑬𝓵𝓊𝓈𝗯.𝒸𝗈𝓜

Ning Shi nodded, and the two stopped talking. After focusing on eating, they went to the red-eyed rabbit farm again.

Ning Shi continued to kill red-eyed rabbits. After his physique rose to 12 points, Ning Shi's physical fitness increased again, and the speed of killing rabbits became a little faster.

Even so, he only managed to kill another 100 red-eyed rabbits by 5 in the afternoon, accumulating 200 experience points.

[ Butcher has been upgraded to Tier 4 (0/300). Physique 1, skill point 1, potential point 1. ]

He leveled up again, and his physique reached 13 points. Ning Shi's physical fitness was enhanced again, and the restrictions on his swordsmanship became less and less. His speed of killing rabbits became faster.

He saved up his skill points and potential points for the time being. Ning Shi had an impulse to add all the potential points to his physique. This way, his physique could improve quickly, and his efficiency in killing rabbits would be higher.

Because it was after 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Old Li saw that Ning Shi's efficiency couldn't keep up with the progress, so he also joined in the work of killing rabbits.

Ning Shi's strength was still not enough, and killing the red-eyed rabbit required a surprise attack, which took a lot of effort.

Old Li's physical fitness was obviously very strong. He killed one red-eyed rabbit with one slash and killed them at an extremely fast speed.

Ning Shi followed behind Old Li, killing a red-eyed rabbit from time to time. Seeing Old Li kill rabbits like they were numb, Ning Shi felt a trace of bitterness in his heart. These red-eyed rabbits were all good for gaining experience, but unfortunately, because of the problem of efficiency, he could only give up.

Old Li spent more than an hour and killed more than 600 red-eyed rabbits, reaching the 800 red-eyed rabbits required for today's order.

"Xiao Ning, come with me and learn how to cut."

The next step was the more complicated task of cutting the flesh.

Ning Shi followed Old Li, learning how to deal with the red-eyed rabbit's body and how to cut the rabbit meat.

The only talent that the game avatar could copy was learning (gold), so Ning Shi's learning ability was extremely fast. After learning about it two or three times, the game system sent a prompt.

[ Under Old Li's guidance, you have learned the butcher's professional skill, slaughtering skill. The current skill level is slaughtering skill level 1. ]

[ Slaughtering skill: One of the core skills of the butcher profession. It includes the knife skills to kill, the observation skills to understand the body structure, and various techniques to cut the body. ]

[ When cultivated to the extreme, killing any living being would be as easy as slaughtering chickens. ]

Seeing this skill, Ning Shi's eyes brightened. He knew that although he had experience in knife skills, basic knife skills at level 11 were limited in this world.

Under the influence of the world will and the game system, when Ning Shi used the basic knife technique to kill the red-eyed rabbit, there would always be a sense of blockage, which was very difficult.

This wasn't because his body wasn't strong enough, but because the clone didn't have the basic sword technique.

Ning Shi only used the knife technique based on experience. He was not familiar with his body at all. Many times, he realized that his body could not reach it, so his skills also affected the efficiency of killing the red-eyed rabbits.

Now that he had the slaughtering skill, Ning Shi's efficiency in killing monsters and leveling up would be greatly improved.

He could keep his potential points, and perhaps consider adding them to his Spiritual Power.

Because in four days, Ning Shi would have to undergo the qualification test that would determine the life fate of an ordinary person.

The mission had already mentioned that the higher one's Spiritual Power, the more outstanding one's aptitude was.

Ning Shi needed to get an excellent test result.

Not only for the mission, but more importantly, he wanted to join the higher education institutions of the Norse Republic. Only then could he understand the world more deeply.

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. 𝒏𝗈𝒱𝞮𝗅𝚞𝒮𝔟.𝐂𝗈𝗆

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. ]

Report chapter Comments

After upgrading his slaughter technique to Tier 3, Ning Shi took out his alloy butcher knife and turned it between his fingers.

The butcher's knife weighing 43 pounds seemed to be as light as nothing at the moment. When Ning Shi turned it in his hand, the originally thick blade also seemed to be light and agile.

The knife in Ning Shi's hand seemed to come alive.

Countless experiences and insights into slaughtering were instilled into Ning Shi's consciousness. Ning Shi knew by heart how a professional butcher should slaughter and cut.

At this moment, when Ning Shi used the slaughter technique again, that feeling of a delay from before dissipated quite a bit. 𝒩𝞸𝓥𝔢𝓁𝓊𝐬𝑩.𝓒𝗈𝑀

Ning Shi had not used his potential points yet. After a busy day, he was both physically and mentally exhausted. Ning Shi collapsed on the bed and fell into a deep sleep in no time.

At 3:30 am, with the alarm on the bedside, Ning Shi opened his eyes hazily.

With his current willpower, his sleepiness was quickly dispelled by force. Ning Shi quickly got out of bed, washed up, and took out a small piece of jelly meat, swallowing it.

A new day of work and learning began.

The long-tailed chicken was also a radioactive creature. Its shape was similar to roosters of Saturn, but its body size was four to five times larger than roosters.

Anyone who had come into contact with roosters would know that roosters were not only muscular, but they were also extremely aggressive.

The long-tailed chicken was like that.

As soon as Ning Shi entered the farm, he was besieged by several long-tailed chickens with hook-like beaks, sharp claws, and strong wings.

If it wasn't for the fact that they couldn't fly over long distances, this creature might have been called a long-tailed eagle instead of a chicken.

Old Li pulled Ning Shi back and said, "Long-tailed chickens are much stronger than red-eyed rabbits in combat. You have to be careful when you kill them. If you get pecked, you'll definitely lose a large piece of meat."

Ning Shi nodded and raised his knife in silence.

With 13 physique points and a Tier 3 slaughter technique, Ning Shi swung his knife very quickly. A long-tailed chicken's windpipe was cut off, and it fell to the ground dead.

Ning Shi quickly picked up the long-tailed chicken to prevent the blood from being wasted on the ground.

Unlike the red-eyed rabbit, the long-tailed chicken's radiation element was mostly concentrated on the crest, and the radiation element in the chicken's blood could be ignored.

After the radiation mutation, the blood of the long-tailed chicken was very smooth and delicious. It was loved by food lovers, and the selling price of chicken blood was much higher than that of chicken meat.

When Old Li saw that Ning Shi had killed the long-tailed chicken in one move without any hesitation, his heart was filled with shock again.

In his heart, Ning Shi was already a super knife genius that was hard to come by in a hundred years. In one day's time, the speed of his knife technique improvement was too fast!

But on the surface, Old Li still looked calm. He pretended to be indifferent and said, "Your performance was not bad. Keep practicing hard. Your slaughter techniques are getting better.

After that, he took the long-tailed chicken from Ning Shi's hand and turned to the slaughter shed to cut the meat.

Ning Shi, on the other hand, was immersed in the pleasure of killing monsters.

[ You killed a long-tailed chicken. You have been rewarded with 2 experience points. ]

…

[ You killed a long-tailed chicken. You have been rewarded with 2 experience points.]

Although the long-tailed chicken was more difficult to deal with, Ning Shi was stronger today, and his killing speed had increased a lot.

By 8 o'clock in the morning, Ning Shi had killed 150 long-tailed chickens and had accumulated 300 experience points.

[ Butcher has been upgraded to Tier 5 (0/500). Physique 1, skill point 1, potential point 1. ]

His physique rose to 14 points, and Ning Shi felt that the butcher knife in his hand became lighter. The arm that wielded the knife was more powerful, and the speed of the knife was faster.

Ning Shi still followed his previous strategy, temporarily saving 4 potential points, and upgrading his slaughtering skill with his skill points.

[ 2 skill points have been used to upgrade the slaughter technique to Tier 4. Special traits and weakness attacks have been acquired. When killing creatures, the user can effectively discover the creature's weakness and attack it, causing greater damage. ]

Ning Shi's strategy was right. His slaughtering skill had been upgraded to Tier 4, and a special characteristic had appeared.

With the special characteristic of attacking the weak point, Ning Shi almost killed the long-tailed chicken with one strike.

[ You killed a long-tailed chicken. You have been rewarded with 2 experience points.]

…

He leveled up again before lunch.

[ Butcher has been upgraded to level 6 (0/800). Physique 1, skill point 1, potential point 1. ]

After the meal, he continued to work. Ning Shi buried his head in killing chickens the whole day.

[ You killed a long-tailed chicken. You have been rewarded with 2 experience points. ]

…

[ Butcher has been upgraded to Tier 7 (0/1200). Physique 1, skill point 1, potential point 1. ]

[ Consume 2 skill points to upgrade slaughter technique to Tier 5. A special weakness attack has been upgraded to a weak point critical hit. When killing creatures, you can effectively discover the creature's weakness and attack it, causing 1 to 3 times Critical Hit Damage. ]

With the improvement of his physique and skills, Ning Shi's slaughtering speed was extremely fast today. By 8 p.m., He had slaughtered 1000 long-tail chickens by himself, completing today's order.

The butcher's level had increased to Tier 7 (700/1200), and he was only 500 experience points away from leveling up again.

At night, he continued to study the biochemical technique.

On the fourth day in the Titanium Pole World, Ning Shi began to kill pigs.

The steel-hide pig was a primitive animal on the origin planet.

This type of pig was three meters long and extremely fat. Each of them weighed more than 500 kilograms.

Today's order was 500 steel-hide pigs. The number had decreased, but the workload had increased.

In addition to the increased difficulty of killing pigs, cutting the whole pig was the main work.

Ning Shi didn't want to be a burden, so he tried to increase the speed of killing the pigs.

...

Fortunately, killing pigs gave him more experience points.

[ You killed a steel-hide pig. You have been rewarded with 5 experience points. ]

…

[ You killed a steel-hide pig. You have been rewarded with 5 experience points.]

…

At four o 'clock in the afternoon, Ning Shi had killed 500 steel-hide pigs. His butcher profession had been upgraded to Tier 9 (300/2300), his physique had been enhanced to 18 points, and his slaughtering skill had been upgraded to Tier 6.

With his current strength, the speed of killing was already extremely fast, and there would definitely not be a problem of not being efficient.

For the next skill point, Ning Shi planned to upgrade his biochemical technique.

He used a special cart to push the steel-hide pigs one by one into the slaughter pen and cut the pork with Old Li.

Old Li's strength was really strong. Under the dance of his butcher knife, the steel-hide pig that weighed more than a thousand pounds was separated from its flesh and bones in less than two minutes. All the parts were cut neatly.

Ning Shi's slaughtering skill had reached Tier 6. Although it was not as efficient as Old Li, his cutting speed was not slow.

In order to not be too abnormal, Ning Shi deliberately slowed down the cutting speed.

Slaughtering could be explained by talent, but cutting was more about the experience.

The two of them worked together until nine in the evening and finally finished slaughtering the steel-hide pigs.

Large amounts of pork were towed away by trucks and transported to the inner city. They were sold to the meat merchants in the inner city, who then distributed them to the elites and nobles.

After he was done, Ning Shi took a shower and said to Old Li, "Teacher, tomorrow is my 18th birthday. According to the law, I have to go to the Civil Affairs Division to take the qualification test. The time is between 9 and 11 in the morning.

"That's why I'll be taking half a day off tomorrow."

Old Li took out a car key from his pocket and handed it to Ning Shi.

"The qualification test is very important. You should have told me earlier.

"How about this, you don't have to study tonight. Rest early and get up at 7:30 tomorrow for breakfast before going.

"I'll ask Auntie to make breakfast for you.

"The nearest Civil Affairs Division in the outer city should be Civil Affairs Division No. 3. It's not far from our orphanage, and it's only a ten-minute drive.

"There's a car in the garage downstairs. It'll be more convenient for you to drive there tomorrow."

In the Norse Republic, driving a car didn't require a driver's license. As long as one was 16 years old, everyone had the right to drive.

This was because all cars had extremely mature automatic driving and forced protection systems, so car accidents were very rare.

Ordinary people with a certain amount of financial ability would know how to drive cars. As for the elites and nobles in the inner city, they all drove flying cars.

The kinetic energy of the flying car relied on precious helium energy, and most of the government's resources were concentrated in the military. Like smart wristwatches, the government limited the production of flying cars, which was why they were expensive.

Even with Old Li's wealth, he had not bought a flying car.

It wasn't that they couldn't afford it, but it was just that it wasn't practical. Due to the existence of radioactive creatures, the traffic between cities was extremely dangerous, and the flying distance of a car was greatly limited.

Flying cars were not practical at all. 𝒏𝑶𝒱𝑒𝓵𝓊𝗌𝐛.𝑐𝑂𝓶

Buying a flying car was mainly a symbol of status. A butcher would certainly not pursue such a thing as status.

The next morning, Ning Shi drove his motorcycle and arrived at the Civil Affairs Division in the outer city according to the navigation.

After verifying his identity, Ning Shi walked into the compound of the Civil Affairs Division. Following the signs, he came to a hall.

At this moment, there were already hundreds of young people standing in the hall. Young people who were 18 years old and above had come here one after another to take the qualification test.

Most of them were nervous and looking forward to it. The qualification test was a chance to change their fate.

If they were talented enough, they would be able to soar to the sky and enter the various universities established by the Norse Republic to further their studies.

After graduation, at the very least, they would still be the elites of society.

Those with the best aptitudes even had the chance to become mech warriors. From then on, they would be able to drive mechas and move unhindered in the blue sky, their status comparable to the aristocrats.

Ning Shi took a number in the hall. It was 118.

This meant that he was the 118th person to be tested.

Ning Shi walked to a corner. He wanted to observe the qualification assessment method and everyone's Spiritual Power data to determine how much Spiritual Power could reach the evaluation of an A-level and above.

He had 8 potential points, which could be used to increase his Spiritual Power to ensure that his aptitude reached the level of excellence.

Whoever knew that just as they walked to the corner, Ning Shi first saw a thin and delicate young man.

The young man had a crew cut, short hair, large almond-shaped eyes, long eyelashes, and a small red mouth. He was a peerless beauty. He was the muse Nico, whom he had not seen for a few days.

He did not expect that today was also Nico's 18th birthday. In Ning Shi's view, Nico's appearance and body were more like that of a 13 or 14-year-old teenager.

Ning Shi suddenly realized that it was not a coincidence that the game avatar and Nico had the same birthday. It was a deliberate arrangement by the game system.

The game system had deliberately allowed him to take the qualification test on the same day as Nico.

Nico also noticed Ning Shi. He was a little surprised.

Since the first day they met, Ning Shi vowed to be his friend. Three days later, this person completely disappeared.

Out of curiosity, Nico had even visited Ning Shi's dormitory, but he had not seen him.

Nico's only friend, Wang Fu, had always said that Ning Shi was the same as the others. He was afraid of Nico's identity and bad luck and took the initiative to stay away.

However, Nico had a unique talent for perception. He believed in his own perception and intuition.

Ning Shi was different from those who took the initiative to stay away from him and gave up halfway. He had no discrimination or fear of himself.

He didn't expect that the two of them would have the same birthday and would be undergoing the qualification test today.

Nico greeted him, "Ning Shi, are you also here to take the test? I haven't seen you these past few days."

Ning Shi stopped about one meter away from Nico. Today's qualification test was very important. He had to be careful not to be contaminated by bad luck.

Ning Shi smiled and said, "Hello, Nico. I didn't expect that we would have the same birthday. It seems that we are indeed fated. I have been working in the breeding farm these days and have moved out of my original residence."

Facing Nico, Ning Shi had already calmed down and treated him with the attitude of an ordinary friend.

The Titanium Pole World was different from the World of Moen. The children of destiny of this world were taken care of by a stronger world will. With stronger destiny, there were more dangers.

It was not easy to borrow power from the son of destiny.

"No wonder I couldn't find you when I went to the dormitory to find you."

Ning Shi's attitude made Nico feel more comfortable and they began to chat.

More and more people came into the hall. At nine o'clock sharp, there were more than 400 young people who came to be tested.

Fortunately, this hall was dedicated to testing qualifications, so it was large enough.

Even with more than 400 people standing there, it was still not crowded.

A serious-looking middle-aged man stood in front of the crowd. He had a headset on his ear to ensure that everyone could hear him.

"Time's up! Close the door!"

With the middle-aged man's order, the rolling curtain door of the hall slowly closed.

A few people who were late were just one step away from entering the hall, and they were shouting mournfully outside.

However, it was useless. Being late was equivalent to giving up the opportunity for the qualification test. The government agencies would not be soft-hearted. 𝒩𝞸𝓥𝔢𝓁𝓊𝐬𝑩.𝓒𝗈𝑀

A person who was late for such an important thing as the qualification test, even if he had an excellent aptitude, would not be able to achieve anything in the end.

Perhaps some people were late because they were unlucky and encountered an accident. That was the same because it was difficult for people with bad luck to succeed.

Soon, the late people outside the door were driven away by the guards, and the hall suddenly became quiet.

"I'm Zhao Wang, the Section Chief of the Human Resources Department of the Civil Affairs Division No. 3 in the Outer Sword Shield City. You can call me Chief Zhao or Old Zhao.

"Today is your 18th birthday, which means that you're all adults. You'll have to take on the responsibility of protecting the city. The first step of this responsibility is to test your qualifications."

Zhao Wang's voice was connected to the sound amplification system in the hall through the headset, and it was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.

He had to say these words every day, but even so, he still earnestly exhorted everyone present. After saying a few more words from the bottom of his heart, he began to introduce the people and the process.

"Beside me are the recruitment teachers of the Norse Republic's major academies. Everyone, look up at the big screen. There's information on it. It's very clear what qualifications you have to enter which academies."

On the innermost wall of the hall, there was a projection screen.

A table was displayed on the screen.

S-level aptitude – guaranteed entry to the Mecha Division of the Norse Republic Academy.

A-level aptitude – 3 rounds of selection before entry to the Mecha Division of the Norse Republic Academy. Guaranteed entry to any other academy's Mecha Division.

B-level aptitude – Southern Academy, Blackbox Academy…

C-level aptitude – Sword Shield City Academy, Long Arm City Academy…

D-level and below – elimination.

Seeing this form, there was a commotion in the crowd. Everyone couldn't help but start whispering and discussing.

"I hope I can have C-level aptitude. I want to enter the Sword Shield City Academy."

"Good luck. It's said that although aptitude is related to talent, the nutrition you take in daily is also very important. Our outer city is too poor, and we can't even afford to eat meat, so where is the nutrition?"

It's been 10 years since an A-level talent has appeared in the outer city."

Hearing the crowd's discussion, a chubby man showed off.

"I can definitely do it. My father went on an adventure in the suburbs last month and hunted a Tier 2 radioactive beast. Not only did he get a lot of jelly meat, but he also got a considerable bonus.

"Not only did I eat jelly meat this month, but I also took the beginner biopharmaceutical produced by Blackbox Biotechnology Company."

As soon as the chubby man finished speaking, everyone looked at him enviously. In the outer city, it was either an orphan like Ning Shi or a commoner living in poverty.

Most of these children had to work to support their families before they were ten years old. They had no spare time to exercise, let alone eat nutrition to develop their Spiritual Power.

The poor studied and the rich studied.

The qualification test seemed fair, but in fact, everyone was not on the same starting line from the beginning.

Every year, there were very few poor children in the outer city who had good qualification test results.

The probability of a C-level aptitude appearing was less than 3%, and the probability of a B-level aptitude appearing was less than one in a thousand.

Report chapter Comments

Out of these 400 people, normally, there would be a few lucky ones who could reach C-level, and there would be no B-level.

In the inner city, the probability of a C-level aptitude appearing was more than 50%, a B-level aptitude was more than 10%, and A-level was 2%. Only S-level was very rare, and there was not even one in more than ten years.

This was the cruel reality.

Seeing the crowd discussing, the few student recruitment teachers on duty couldn't help but start yawning.

In the eyes of these teachers, the qualification test in the outer city was just a formality.

In the early years, there were still some geniuses in the outer city, but in recent years, the situation in the outer city had been deteriorating, and there were fewer and fewer talented young people.

Section Chief Zhao Wang was a practitioner of the Republic concept and believed in equality. He couldn't help but remind the teachers when he saw their nonchalant looks.

"Teachers, please pay attention. Although the test results of the young people in the outer city are not good, these people's talents are genuine. They don't take any drugs or have the assistance of technology. 𝒏𝑶𝒱𝑒𝓵𝓊𝗌𝐛.𝑐𝑂𝓶

"Once they enter the academy, they will have resources and go through scientific training. They will often improve very quickly."

Zhao Wang was right. This was the only advantage of the outer city.

The talent in the outer city was the real talent. Once they entered formal learning and training, their progress was indeed very fast.

People in the outer city were more talented and cultivated faster. There had been stories of counterattacks by young people in the outer city.

One of the teachers couldn't help but mock, "Section Chief Zhao, the people in the outer city improve very fast, but that's because they have a low starting point and have a lot of room for improvement.

"You're not the only one who has faith in this world. You gave up your position as the leader of the inner city and came to the outer city to help the civilians.

"As student recruitment teachers, we still have the basic qualities. Student recruitment is our job, and we will not make any mistakes."

The teacher who spoke was called Quest. He had a head of golden hair, long, narrow green eyes, and thin lips. He looked very mean.

Quest had a haughty expression on his face, as if he was superior to everyone else, but no one dared to say anything.

It was because golden hair was the symbol of the Hilda family.

In Sword Shield City, the Hilda family's influence was everywhere. Although Quest was only a collateral descendant of the Hilda family and had no future, he had been arranged by the family to be a recruitment teacher at the Sword Shield City Academy.

However, just the identity of a collateral bloodline was enough to scare off many people.

Zhao Wang did not respond to Quest's words. It was not that he was afraid of him, but what Quest said made sense.

Among the children in the outer city, only a few with extraordinary talents could make it through and grow into true geniuses.

Most of the students in the outer city had never received a systematic education since they were young. They had poor knowledge of scientific theories and their bodies had not been trained. When they entered the Academy, they were basically marginalized.

No teacher liked to teach their students from scratch.

Zhao Wang patiently gave everyone 10 minutes to discuss.

Ten minutes later, Zhao Wang arrived in front of a metal door. After multiple iris scans and fingerprints, he was finally able to enter the room.

The heavy metal door slowly opened.

A bright silver, egg-shaped machine appeared in front of everyone.

There was a door in front of the machine. Above the door was a high-definition electronic screen.

Zhao Wang stood in front of the door with a serious expression and read aloud.

"No. 1, Cai Tongren, begin the test!"

The first one to be tested was the chubby man who had bragged about eating nutrition for a month, Cai Tongren.

He walked into the testing machine expectantly, and the people around him were very optimistic about him.

"Cai Tongren's family is quite well-off, and she's been taking supplements for a month. He'll definitely have a C-level aptitude, and maybe even a B-level!

"Yeah, he'll be fine. We're all different people. My dad went on an expedition last month. Not only did he not get any food, but he was also bitten in the arm by a radioactive creature. He had to pay a lot of money for treatment."

Ning Shi, however, was not as optimistic as everyone else. He had just used the Eye of Truth to investigate.

Cai Tongren's Spiritual Power was only 9 points, which was not high among the people around him.

The overall quality of the people of the Titanium Pole World was much stronger than that of the people of Saturn.

Ning Shi checked a few people. Everyone's Spiritual Power was around 9 or 10 points.

Sure enough, in less than half a minute, a line of words appeared on the high-definition screen above the door of the egg-shaped machine.

"Cai Tongren, test results: D-level."

Cai Tongren's aptitude was only D-level. The entire place was silent. The people who had originally held high hopes were now cruelly hit by reality.

Everyone admitted that they were not as qualified as Cai Tongren. If even Cai Tongren had been eliminated, it would be even more difficult for the others.

Seeing everyone's dejected expression, Zhao Wang's eyes flashed with a trace of sadness. There were fewer and fewer geniuses among the commoners. How would the commoners fight against the nobles in the future? When would the Republic's belief be truly realized?

He gathered his thoughts and continued to read, not caring about how dispirited Cai Tongren was when he walked out of the testing machine.

"Next, number 002, Dai Ergou."

…

After 51 people were tested, all of them were D-level aptitudes. Everyone's eyes were dull.

Finally, on the 52nd person, a C-level aptitude student appeared and was recruited by the Sword Shield City Academy's recruitment teacher, Quest.

This seemed to be a positive signal. Among the next dozen or so people, there were three more C-level aptitudes.

When it came to No. 66, the test result was actually a B-level aptitude, causing a small commotion at the scene. A few recruitment teachers fought over him for a while and he was finally accepted into the Southern Academy.

Report chapter Comments

Ning Shi didn't speak the entire time, only carefully examining.

He found that the Spiritual Power of a C-level aptitude was 11-12 points, and that of a B-level aptitude was 13-14 points.

If they were arranged in equal order, then an A-level would require 15-16 points of Spiritual Power, and an S-level would require 17 points of Spiritual Power and above.

Nico's Spiritual Power was 15 points. If his test result was an A-level aptitude, then the ranking would be valid.

Nico's number was 73 and it was soon his turn.

The words Nico: A-level qualification test result caused a sensation.

Zhao Wang's face was red and he was extremely excited. He kept mumbling.

"That's great! That's great! Another commoner genius has appeared…" 𝔫𝐎𝑣𝔢𝗅𝗎𝑠𝑏.𝒸𝑂𝔪

The originally lazy teachers were now all pumped up. When Nico stepped out of the testing machine, he saw more than ten smiling faces appearing in front of him.

"Student Nico, welcome to Sword Shield City Academy. If you come to our academy, you can directly study in the Mecha Division. As long as you pass the mecha training, we will give you a free mech!

Quest, who had always been arrogant, had generously offered to gift Nico a mech. This shocked the other teachers.

Mechas were the pinnacle of Titanium Pole World technology, equipped with all sorts of wondrous abilities.

A mecha master, once equipped with a mecha, could dominate a planet.

There were very few mechas on the origin planet today. There were probably no more than a few hundred of them.

Every mech was a valuable asset for mankind to fight against radioactive creatures.

Today was the day of the qualification test. The lucky ones who were able to enter the academy to study mostly studied mecha repair or mecha parts manufacturing.

In the future, his job would be to make mecha parts or maintain the mecha of the mecha master.

Even so, these people were considered the elites of human society, and their welfare and treatment were very good.

The status of mechas and mecha masters could be seen clearly.

Under such circumstances, every mech was a priceless treasure.

How much power and authority a family or force had depended on the number of mechas they had. No one would sell their own mechas.

It was no longer the prosperous origin planet before the war. At that time, technology and industry were developed, and there were plenty of resources. The entire origin planet had a large number of mechas.

At that time, all the mecha masters would be able to use their own mecha.

Although the origin planet was gradually recovering from the trauma of the war, the scarcity of resources was an inevitable reality.

Many key technologies were also lost.

In the Norse Republic, there was a saying, "A mecha made of iron is a mecha master made of flowing water". It described the current situation of mecha usage on the origin planet.

The final control of the mecha was in the hands of the country or some family. The mecha master was only responsible for operating the mecha. His authority was limited and he was just a tool.

The ultimate dream of countless powerful mecha masters was to own a mecha of their own.

Quest had actually said that he wanted to give him a mech.

This shocked everyone in the surroundings!

The Hilda family only had seven mechas in total, and hundreds of mecha operators took turns using them.

Ning Shi also noticed that something was wrong. He had already confirmed in his heart that Quest had probably come for Nico from the beginning.

Or it could be said that the Hilda family, which he represented, had already set their eyes on Nico, the son of destiny.

After hearing Quest's conditions, many of the teachers from schools with better comprehensive abilities than Sword Shield City fell silent.

Whether it was the school's strength or the mecha training's passing rate, they were all paled in comparison to the gift of a mecha.

Only Wu Qianlian, the teacher in charge of enrollment at the educational institute of China, said coldly, "Teacher Quest, Nico has long been selected as a student by the Norse Republic Academy. We have been training him for quite some time.

"It's not appropriate for the Sword Shield City Academy to do this, right?"

Hearing Wu Qianlian's words, Quest's long and narrow eyes squinted, and he said with a fake smile.

"Teacher Wu's words are a little too overbearing. Do all the talented students have to be reserved by the Norse Republic Academy? If that's the case, then what are the recruitment teachers from the other academies doing here?

"Why don't we just rank them according to their aptitudes, and the ones with the best aptitudes can directly enter the Norse Republic Academy?

"Even though the comprehensive strength of the Sword Shield City Academy isn't as good as the Norse Republic Academy, we still give our students the right to choose whether they want to join the Sword Shield City Academy or not, right?"

Quest's words were of a high standard. On one hand, he made use of the hatred other academies had for the Norse Republic Academy, the strongest academy in the country, to pull in a group of helpers. After he finished speaking, the teachers from the other academies nodded their heads in agreement.

On the other hand, Quest's words pointed out the truth. He had only laid out conditions for Nico. Whether he agreed or not would be up to him. This was the right of the Sword Shield City Academy.

Wu Qianlian was very angry, but she had no choice.

When the major academies recruited students, they would not follow the rules. Their recruitment agencies would observe students of the right age in advance and would allocate resources to cultivate good seedlings.

Usually, if a student was discovered and nurtured by a certain academy first, the other academies would not compete for that student. This was a tacit understanding between the academies, or also known as an unspoken rule.

However, a tacit understanding was just a tacit understanding. The unspoken rules could never be brought to the surface.

Therefore, although Quest's actions had broken the unspoken rules, on the surface, Wu Qianlian had no right to stop the actions of Sword Shield City Academy. 𝓝𝑶𝗏𝔢𝑙𝓊𝗌𝒷.𝒞𝒪𝑀

Wu Qianlian could only look at Nico nervously, hoping that he would reject Quest and choose to join the Norse Republic Academy.

Wu Qianlian was only an enrollment teacher. Before she came here, the school's big boss had instructed her to bring Nico back to the school.

As for Nico's abilities and personality, she knew nothing about them.

In Wu Qianlian's opinion, if she were in his shoes, she would definitely not be able to resist the temptation of a mecha.

Wu Qianlian had already mentally prepared herself for Nico to join the Sword Shield City Academy.

However, she had underestimated Nico's intelligence and foresight.

Facing Quest's promise, Nico's face remained expressionless from the beginning to the end. He said, "Teacher Quest, thank you for your kind intentions. I've previously promised Teacher Wu Yisheng that I'll definitely enter the Norse Republic Academy to study."

Quest had his hands crossed in front of her chest, looking very confident. When he heard Nico's rejection, he almost suspected that he was hallucinating.

Quest tried his best to calm himself down and tried to persuade him.

"Are you sure? That is a mecha! The Sword Shield City Academy can sign an origin contract with you, and it's guaranteed to be effective. You can sign the contract before you enter the academy!"

As soon as Quest said that, everyone's expression changed, including Zhao Wang.

If Quest's words had been empty, everyone would have thought that it was an empty promise. But now, they could confirm that the Sword Shield City Academy was serious.

The origin contract was the most binding contract on the origin planet. The contents of the contract were witnessed by the highest-level artificial intelligence of the origin planet, Origin.

If anyone went against the contents of the contract, their breach of contract would be announced to the world by Origin and their reputation would be completely destroyed. Moreover, Origin would directly freeze the collateral formed by the contract.

If the Sword Shield City Academy was willing to sign the origin contract, the rights to the mecha would be pawned to the AI, Origin. If the Sword Shield City Academy broke the contract, Origin would then forcefully obtain the rights to the mecha and hand it over to Nico.

As long as Nico agreed to join the Sword Shield City Academy, an incomparably precious mecha would be at his fingertips.

If a mecha master could own his own mecha, his combat power would be maximized. The stronger ones could fight against an entire noble family.

Everyone looked at Nico with envy. Even Wu Qianlian fell silent. She also felt that Nico should join the Sword Shield City Academy.

Only Nico remained calm. He said, "I've already decided to join the Norse Republic Academy. Teacher Quest, I'm sorry!"

Seeing Nico's refusal, Quest's face sank. He coldly snorted and stared at Nico.

"Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit!"

After he finished speaking, he didn't care that the qualification test wasn't finished and left angrily.

The crowd was very confused about Nico's choice. Some stupid people even thought that there was something wrong with Nico's brain. However, Ning Shi understood.

If things were abnormal, it was a demon. Good things that fell from the sky were often not pies, but traps.

If the Sword Shield City Academy wanted to give Ning Shi a mecha for no reason, Ning Shi would also suspect their motives.

Nico definitely had a big secret or some precious treasure on her that the Hilda family, which was behind the Sword Shield City Academy, had their eyes on.

An A-level aptitude student might be rare in the outer city, but in the inner city, there were quite a few every year.

Even if it was an S-level talent, it was still not worth it for an academy to pay the price of a mecha to win him over.

The Sword Shield City Academy probably thought that Nico was a country bumpkin who had not seen the world. They intended to use the huge temptation of mecha to simply and violently break Nico's mental defense.

And take down Nico in one go.

He didn't know that the son of destiny wasn't a simple character.

Nico easily rejected the mecha temptation without any struggle or hesitation.

Following Nico's decision to join the Norse Republic Academy, Quest left in a fit of anger. The interlude came to an end and the qualification test continued.

Ning Shi no longer hesitated, using up 5 of the 8 potential points he had accumulated, directly increasing his Spiritual Power to 15 points.

15 points of Spiritual Power would be enough to obtain an A-level aptitude evaluation and ensure that he would be able to enter the best institution, which was the Norse Republic Academy.

Twenty minutes later, it was Ning Shi's turn to be tested.

Ning Shi's expression was calm as he walked into the egg-shaped machine quietly.

After entering the machine, there was a rectangular biological chamber inside, and an electronic voice sounded.

"Please lie down inside the test cabin."

Ning Shi did as he was told and lay down in the cabin. Metal tentacles stretched out from the cabin, some connected to Ning Shi's head, some connected to his temples, and there were also tentacles connected to his limbs and chest.

The electronic voice was heard again.

"The test is about to begin. Please close your eyes and relax your body. During the test, do not engage in any strenuous exercise." 𝔫𝐎𝑣𝔢𝗅𝗎𝑠𝑏.𝒸𝑂𝔪

Ning Shi closed his eyes. A slight electric current came from his metal tentacles, and light waves flickered in the cabin.

About ten seconds later, the electronic voice began to announce with a beep.

"The test has ended. Thank you for your cooperation. The result of this test is S-level!

"According to the laws of the Norse Republic, your information has been backed up to the special talents file of the Republic.

"As a special talent, you have Tier 3 access to the AI network. Please register an account as soon as possible and join the AI network."

Geniuses with S-level aptitudes would only appear once every two or three years in the Norse Republic.

Every person with an S-level aptitude was an important strategic talent of the Norse Republic, so as soon as Ning Shi's test results came out, the data had been backed up.

His identity and authority were immediately changed.

Ning Shi himself was also a little confused.

According to his previous speculations, 15 points of Spiritual Power should be an A-level qualification. He had only reached 15 points of Spiritual Power, so how did he reach S-level in the test?

In fact, Ning Shi had been misled by the mission content of the game system.

[ Please obtain A-level or above in the qualification test in 5 days. ]

[ Hint: The higher the Spiritual Power, the better the qualification rating. ]

The higher one's Spiritual Power was, the better one's aptitude rating would be. The system prompt did not say that one's physique had no effect on the qualification test.

Ning Shi's Spiritual Power was only 15 points, which belonged to A-level. However, his physique had reached 18 points. Such a high physique was enough to raise his qualification rating by one level.

He had reached S-level.

When Ning Shi walked out of the test cabin, everyone's mouth was wide open as they stared at the high-definition screen on the test machine.

[ Ning Shi, qualification test result: S-level. ]

Even the serious-looking Section Chief, Zhao Wang, kept wiping his eyes, afraid that he had seen wrong.

After confirming it several times, he said in a trembling voice, "S-level… I can't believe that I, Old Zhao, would be able to meet an S-level talent in my lifetime!"

Wu Qianlian, who had accepted Nico and had no more desires, was so excited after seeing Ning Shi's qualification test results that her hands and feet were a little weak.

She felt as if she was floating in the clouds, as light as a feather, unable to step on the ground.

This was an S-level talent. If she were to recruit him into the academy, the accumulated merits would be enough to advance three levels in a row, and there would also be a huge bonus.

Wu Qianlian took a deep breath, walked to Ning Shi, put on the gentlest smile of her life, and said gently.

"Hello, Ning Shi, I'm Wu Qianlian, a recruitment teacher at the Norse Republic Academy. Congratulations, your qualification is S-level!

"With your aptitude, you'll be able to enter the Mecha Division and begin your mecha training as soon as you enter the Norse Republic Academy.

"We're the best academy in the country, and the passing rate of our mecha students to become mecha masters has reached an astonishing 10%!

"With your aptitude and our academy's professional training, your chances of becoming a mecha master are very high."

Wu Qianlian's words seemed to have opened a magic box. In an instant, Ning Shi was surrounded by more than a dozen recruitment teachers.

"Our Long Arm City Academy will provide a scholarship of 5 million origin coins, in addition to 24 hours of practical mecha training every week."

"The Southern Academy also has a scholarship. You'll get 30 hours of practical mecha training every week, in addition to 10 bottles of beginner-level biopharmaceutical and one bottle of intermediate-level biopharmaceutical every month."

"Ning Shi, don't listen to them. Our Blackbox Academy is backed by the Blackbox Biotechnology Company. We have strong technological strength and are the richest. We will double all their benefits!"

In Ning Shi's heart, he had already made up his mind to join the Norse Republic Academy.

On the one hand, the Norse Republic Academy was the best academy. It was beneficial for Ning Shi to broaden his horizons and improve his growth. On the other hand, he wanted to keep in touch with Nico.

There must be a deeper reason why the game system valued Nico so much.
