208 Old Li’s Choice (Part 1)

Ning Shi rode his motorcycle and quickly returned to the orphanage.

He didn’t expect Old Li to be standing at the entrance of the orphanage, his head lowered as he chewed on a black smoke fruit. His brows were tightly furrowed, as if he had something on his mind.

Hearing the sound of the engine, he raised his head and forced a smile.

“Welcome back, my genius!”

Clearly, although Old Li did not go to the Civil Affairs Division to accompany Ning Shi for the examination, he had been secretly paying attention to Ning Shi’s situation all along.

Old Li knew at the first moment that Ning Shi was tested to be S-level.

Ning Shi’s observation was very detailed. He noticed that Old Li seemed to have something on his mind and understood the reason. After hugging Old Li, he said, “Master, don’t worry. I’ve already spoken to the teachers at the Norse Republic Academy. I’ll stay in the orphanage for the next month and seriously learn the skills of a butcher.

“No matter how I develop in the future, being a butcher will always be one of my professions. I will definitely do my best to carry forward the One Blade’s butcher legacy.”

Old Li shook his head and didn’t respond to Ning Shi’s words. Instead, he asked, “Do you know the basis and standards of the qualification test?”

“I don’t know,”

Ning Shi didn’t think too deeply about this question. He hadn’t been in the Titanium Pole World for long, and many things were still in the process of being discovered.

“The Tai Chi world is vast and boundless,” Old Li said. “Every living being has their own unique talent. In the eyes of us butchers, every living being has a slaughter value. There’s no such thing as good or bad talent.”

Ning Shi agreed with Old Li’s words. Just like the students of Saturn, some were good at sports, some were good at exams, and some had literary talent. They all had their own strengths.

Humans were good at learning, lions and tigers were good at fighting, and insects had terrifying reproduction and simulation abilities. Every living creature had its own unique talents and abilities, and there was no absolute difference in talent.

It was just a measure of whether a person met the requirements for different professions or standards.

“The republic’s qualification test is completely based on the requirements of a mecha master. Strictly speaking, it’s to test if you’re suitable to become a mecha master.

“Those who are completely unsuitable will be eliminated immediately and become ants at the bottom of society, struggling on their last breath under exploitation.

“Those who are more suitable will enter the major academies and learn various skills in mecha manufacturing and maintenance. In the end, they will become a screw in the various industrial and downstream chains of mecha.

“Those who are especially suitable are the seeds with A-level and B-level aptitudes. They will undergo brutal mecha training, and only one out of 100 would successfully pass the training to become a mecha master.

“Those who fail will be the same as those with C-level aptitude, becoming screws.

“As for those with S-level aptitudes, according to the teaching experience of the various academies, they are natural mecha masters. The probability of them becoming mecha masters through training is as high as 50%.”

Old Li scratched his fluffy black hair and continued to explain, “You have S-level talent, which means you are most suited to be a mecha master.

“One is a noble mecha master, while the other is a brutal butcher who lived with blood and corpses all day long. As long as one isn’t an idiot, one will choose to be a mecha master.

“You’re still young and have a bright future ahead of you. I can’t harm you.”

Seeing that Ning Shi was about to refute him, Old Li waved his hand and interrupted him.

“I know what you mean. You think that you can work part-time and do well in both professions, but that’s impossible.

“Mecha training is extremely brutal. You should make the best use of every minute and second from now on and devote all your efforts to your professional training as a mecha master.

“Moreover, the mecha master and the butcher professions are conflicted. The mecha master requires the students to have a certain physical fitness, and through special meditation methods, constantly improve their reaction speed and mental control ability.

“Although the butcher profession also has requirements for Spiritual Power, it mainly focused on training and developing the human body’s own abilities.

“We learn the biochemical technique to extract various beneficial substances from living creatures to strengthen our bodies.

“These are two completely different paths, and you won’t be able to take care of them at the same time.”

Ning Shi understood what Old Li meant. According to the game character, the butcher’s main attribute was physique, and the benefits of attribute points added to physique were greater.

The main attribute of a mecha master was Spiritual Power.

It made sense. As long as a mecha master could operate a mecha freely, it was equivalent to having a strong mecha body. There was no point in increasing one’s Physique.

Ning Shi did not rush to refute Old Li, but asked calmly, “Master, the butcher profession should have been glorious before, right?”

Old Li sighed and said with uncertainty, “According to the records of our One Blade inheritance, the butcher profession’s most glorious era was around 2000 years in the origin planet establishment, which is 8000 years ago.

“At that time, human technology had just started to move out of the origin planet and into space. Interstellar travel relied more on battleships, and mechas were still heavy humanoid machines.

“At that time, all kinds of martial arts schools were competing on the origin planet.

“We butchers were one of the most powerful sects.

“The One Blade’s peak was the 33rd generation patriarch, Bao Ding. His slaughter techniques were at the point of perfection, and his biochemical technique had also been cultivated to an extremely profound realm.

“During the human’s journey to explore outer space, he discovered several powerful creatures in succession. After killing them, he obtained the extraordinary substances in their bodies, and his physique became stronger and stronger, reaching a terrifying level.

“According to the ancient records, when patriarch Bao Ding was at his strongest, he could destroy a warship with one punch. Wherever his butcher’s knife passed, all the beasts would submit.”
