I Have A Game Clone - Chapter 188

188 One Blade Butcher (Part 2)

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.

!!
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.
