Chapter 146 - 145: The Name of the Butcher
“Please change into the therapy suit and sit down, the treatment is about to begin.”
Seemingly aware that Bai Qi hadn’t moved, a mechanical female voice immediately began guiding him.
Forget it, this kind of strange obsession should not have spread to the Other Realm.”
Guided by the system, Bai Qi changed into a therapy suit and sat down in the electric chair. Several mechanical arms instantly extended from the chair and rapidly connected to the gaps on his therapy suit, spreading a warm current throughout his entire body.
He thought to himself that the heritage of the Thunder and Lightning Dharma King couldn’t possibly have spread to this world. Although it wasn’t a reclining type, the final mode was still immersion in the Nutrient Solution for therapy.
Bai Qi was very satisfied as he felt his physical strength rapidly recovering.
He wondered if these therapy cabins were available for sale. If he bought one and placed it in the Secret Realm, he didn’t need to worry about exhausting his energy due to excessive use of the Evolution Egg.
The only thing he was unsure about was the battery life of the therapy cabin.
Just as this thought came to mind, Bai Qi, who had just regained some strength, immediately gave Gamma another egg. The green signal light on the therapy cabin immediately turned red.
“Huh? Is the machine broken?”
A female Beast Master from the Holy Relic Tower was taken aback. She immediately approached Bai Qi’s therapy cabin and examined it for a long time, but she couldn’t find any problems, other than the Nutrient Solution being consumed a bit too quickly.
The Nutrient Solution is being depleted faster than expected. Hmm, let me take note of it.”
The female Beast Master took out a notebook and meticulously recorded the change in the Nutrient Solution storage cabin. Just as she was about to leave, the instruction light that had just turned green immediately turned red again, and there was a drastic decrease in Nutrient Solution.
“Is it really broken?”
Seeing the abnormal state of the therapy cabin, the female Beast Master was immediately frantic, her eyes turning red as she clumsily tried to shut down the Nutrient Solution Cabin.
All the people coming here were from specialized colleges and were the future elites of the Beast Master Association. If something went wrong due to a malfunction in the Nutrient Solution Cabin, she couldn’t bear the responsibility.
The commotion caught the attention of Xiao Qi, who was in charge. He immediately rushed over and asked, “What happened?”
With a cry in her voice, the female Beast Master rubbed her eyes as she explained, “I’m not sure… It seems that there is an issue with this Nutrient Solution Cabin’s health monitoring device. The consumption of Nutrient Solution is not right, I…”
Upon hearing her words, Xiao Qi patted the female Beast Master’s shoulder to reassure her, before operating on the monitoring screen.
“The data shows that there are no problems, and the user does indeed need replenishment. Who’s in it?”
“I think his name is Bai Qi.”
The female Beast Master tilted her head and answered quickly.
“Bai Qi?”
Upon hearing her words, Xiao Qi was taken aback, before shaking his head in resignation.
This guy, always causing trouble wherever he goes. No wonder the six Tower Masters are so concerned about him.
“Keep a closer eye on this. If the Nutrient Solution runs out, just refill it.”
“Uh, alright!”
When she heard Xiao Qi’s words, although still puzzled, the female Beast Master could only comply.
“Phew. The things developed in the Moon Night Tower are indeed useful, despite the chair being a bit creepy. It would be better if it were reclining. ” Bai Qi walked out of the therapy cabin with a look of satisfaction. He casually commented and was planning to ask about the purchase when he saw a crowd gathered around his cabin.
“Um, what are you all doing?”
“Do you know how long you’ve been soaking in there?”
Zhou Yan looked Bai Qi up and down curiously, “No wonder your beast is so
strong. Turns out you’re so weak. I won’t envy you anymore.”
“Rest assured, big sis understands.”
At Zhou Yan’s words, Bai Yuxiao immediately nodded her head in agreement.
One person using up three bottles of Nutrient Solution, if that’s not weakness what is?
You guys don’t get it at all!
Seeing this, Bai Qi’s eye twitched a moment. He finally understood why Bai Tongchen and Leng Feifei both liked beating up these two disciples of his.
There was no other reason, just that they were asking to be hit!
“Well, I also suggest that you should go to the Moon Night Tower for a checkup. After all, consuming so much Nutrient Solution is enough for a small beast’s treatment.”
The female Beast Master, her face full of worry, carefully advised from the side.
Hmm. Thanks, but don’t think it’s necessary. But can I ask, is this therapy cabin for sale?”
The Beast Mistress paused, then quickly understood what he was asking She explained regretfully, “Sorry, this is not for sale, but during the specialized academy’s training, you can use it anytime.”
Can’t use it? Then should he just take advantage during training?
Seeing Bai Qi daydreaming again, Bai Qiucha, who had similarly suffered due to the Bone Dragon, couldn’t help but worry, “Bai Qi, why don’t you skip the afternoon class and rest well?”
I heard from Brother Luo that the afternoon class is a Ferocious Beasts dissection lesson. Missing one class shouldn’t matter that much.”
Upon hearing Bai Qiucha’s words, Bai Qi’s ears immediately perked up, “What did you say the class was?”
“Ferocious Beast Dissection?”
Bai Qiucha was startled. She took out the class schedule and handed it to Bai Qi, “Special training is almost every year taught by Instructor Xiao Zhang for resource processing, and basically, it’s a fairly routine procedure. The first lesson is actually a demonstration, which we’ll learn more about later.”
“Resource processing, Ferocious Beast dissection…”
Bai Qi muttered under his breath. His eyes shone even brighter, and he even seemed somewhat excited.
This course fits so well with the Evolution Egg…
“Well, I’m in good shape now, so I shouldn’t need to take a leave of absence,” Bai Qi stated as he looked around. “When does our afternoon class begin? I ‘ thinklneedtobebaptizedby knowledge.”
Bai Qiucha: “…”
Zhou Yan: “…”
Bai Yuxiao: “…”
In the afternoon.
For convenient teaching, the venue of the Resource Processing course was naturally set at the Holy Relic Tower. However, it wasn’t the Materials Exchange Area that Bai Qi initially visited, but the handling area instead.
As the largest storage and processing point of the Beast Master Association, the dissection area was ingeniously designed. Apart from all the necessary tools, it hardly smelled odd.
“We’re not going to have to dissect these ourselves today, are we?” Looking at the Giant Claw Rat corpses on every dissection table, Bai Yuxiao couldn’t help but exclaim. Lu Qing, who had always kept her distance from such things, frowned at the sight and was already contemplating leaving.
She was already a student at the Tower of Knowledge. Once she finished her training, she would naturally officially join the Tower of Knowledge. There was no need to learn this unless something unexpected occurred.
“A Giant Claw Rat? I haven’t handled one of these before.”
Bai Qi looked up and down at the Giant Claw Rat a few times, placing his hand on it. As expected, the Evolution Egg shook slightly.
[Name]: Evolution Egg (Silver Egg 11.1%)
[Condition]: Activated
Although it was only a pitiful increase of 0.1%, it was still progress and it hadn’t cost him anything. Bai Qi wasn’t one to be choosy.
He wondered if they would switch to higher-level Ferocious Beast corpses in the future. If so, this process would be easy, right?
With this thought in mind, a slight smile appeared on Bai Qi’s face.
This smile wasn’t particularly noticeable and wouldn’t attract attention elsewhere. However, along with Bai Qi’s current position and action, it made Zhou Yan and the others feel goosebumps crawling on their scalps, so they quietly distanced themselves from Bai Qi.
This guy is dangerous!
“Everyone’s here?”
While everyone was curiously looking around, Xiao Zhang, boasting a lion-like hairstyle, finally arrived late.
You’ve probably heard that the first lesson of resource handling is inevitably Dissection.”
While Xiao Zhang was speaking, he put on a dissection suit, “That’s absolutely right, but this time I’m not planning on demonstrating this lesson alone. Instead, I ask you to do it yourselves.”
As soon as Xiao Zhang announced this, an uproar immediately broke out in the lecture hall.
They were all capable of reaching third and fourth level, having killed beasts similar or stronger than the Giant Claw Rat. However, those were killed by their pets. Now, they’re being asked to do it themselves, which was a bit difficult for them.
Xiao Zhang looked serious and said, “I hope you understand that the more advanced the material is, the more it requires us Beast Masters to handle it personally, otherwise the different energies in the pet can easily impact the quality of the material.”
“Coach, can’t we just bring the beast back and let the professionals process it?”
A student raised his opinion as soon as Xiao Zhang finished speaking.
“No problem at all, but do you only hunt this kind of beast when you go into the wild? Or, if you encounter a giant species, do you plan to carry it back too?” The student was silent. Indeed, not everyone could have something like a Secret Realm Ring, and Space Department pets were even rarer. If they encountered the situation Xiao Zhang mentioned, they really had no way to deal with it. “Of course, if you encounter a giant species, even if you can process it, you probably can’t handle it alone. So today’s lesson mainly aims to teach you how to select and process the small and medium-sized pets.”
“I will show you once. You can follow along if you want, or watch the whole process first.”
Saying this, Xiao Zhang picked up a sharp short knife from the side, pointed at the sharp claws of the Giant Claw Rat, and said, “The claws of the Giant Claw Rat are very hard and can easily be made into sharp tools with some simple processing. However, you need to remove its root joint to easily harvest it.” “And the eyes of the Giant Claw Rat can be used to make…”
“The skin can…”
In this way, Xiao Zhang easily disintegrated a Giant Claw Rat into countless parts under the stunned gaze of a group of students, but aside from his gloves, there was no blood on him whatsoever.
“With such skill, I wonder how many beasts Coach Xiao Zhang has dissected,” Zhou Yan couldn’t help but sigh.
Familiarity breeds skill.
Taking off his dissection suit, Xiao Zhang said, “Okay, that’s the whole process of dismantling a Giant Claw Rat. You can start now. Feel free to ask if you have any questions.”
Coach, I’m done with the dissection.”
Just as most people were thinking about how to make the first cut, a voice attracted everyone’s attention.
“Oh?”
Xiao Zhang raised an eyebrow, walked over to Bai Qi following the voice. Looking at the neatly placed Giant Claw Rat parts on the dissection table, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
“Are you interested in joining our Holy Relic Tower?”
As soon as Xiao Zhang said this, there was an uproar. Everyone gathered around to check, and after seeing Bai Qi’s work, they were all surprised.
“Is this guy really a mechanical and martial arts student? Or is he a butcher?”
