Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 133
Chapter 133: Injury Examination
In his previous life, Meng Chao had never learned injury examination, since it was a high-end skill.
He cast a glance at the strange flame at the top corner of his vision and brought up his skill list.
Aside from the Basic Harvesting Skill, which was used to harvest normal monsters, he had also activated the Intermediate Harvesting Skill, which was enough for him to harvest Nightmarish Beasts.
The two important branches of harvesting skills—Seven Dissection Methods Performed in Reverse and Jade Assessment Skill—were both at Specialist Level.
Besides, after 1024 of his branch meridians were cleared, his sensitivity had increased by leaps and bounds.
When spirit energy gushed out of his pores and flowed out slowly from his spirit tattoos, he could form dozens of different knots through every single hair on his body.
“I can try.” Meng Chao was incredibly confident. “Where are the corpses?”
“Over there. They’re here.” Ning Xueshi pointed at the entrance of the storage.
Meng Chao saw more than ten monster controller course students in their uniforms. They were freshmen with bruised faces and badly battered bodies. Under the guidance of several upperclassmen, they pushed in a cart full of monster carcasses.
Meng Chao was a little stunned. He could tell that they were the strongest students from the monster controller course. Xie Feng had told him about them. But he did not see Wu Wu.
The monster carcasses on the cart all had controller hoops on their heads and necks. They also had numbers branded into their bodies as well as plates in their skin. This meant that they were modified biochemical monsters and not wild monsters.
But that made sense. If they were monsters killed at the northern frontline, the military or Supernatural Tower would send their own harvester and perform an injury examination on the spot.
If they were mutated or evolved monsters that they had never seen before, even if the frontlines could not handle it, Ning Xueshi and the normal students from the resource course would still not have the chance to take action. Instead, Ning Shewo and experts at his caliber would be the ones called for it.
During the freshmen tournament between the martial arts course and the monster controller course, if not for Panther Girl Wu Wu, the monster controller course had actually been at a disadvantage.
At the very least, before Xie Feng and the rest ran into Wu Wu, they won a few rounds and killed quite a number of biochemical beasts.
It was impossible for Wu Wu to represent the monster controller course by herself.
The new students had to understand the reason behind their defeat, and through the fatal injuries on their biochemical beasts, they had to think and modify their strategies.
As Meng Chao expected, an upperclassman with a lot of forehead wrinkles strode forward and smiled at Ning Xueshi. “Big Sis Ning, Professor Wang and the lecturers from the resources are talking about how to provide reinforcements to the northern frontlines, so they said that you’ll be in charge of this matter.
“The freshmen of the monster controller course this year don’t live up to our expectations, and they were nearly been defeated by the martial arts course. We’ll have to trouble you and all the other resource course students to help us search for the reason.”
As he spoke, he turned his head around and schooled his face to rebuke the freshmen. “Pay attention and learn. Don’t miss a single detail. Injury examination is an incredibly important skill for harvesters, monster controllers, martial artists, and other fighting occupations. If you learn how to read the information from a corpse, your skills will continue improving, understand?”
The monster controller course freshmen nodded, and under the lead of their seniors, they went up to greet them.
Ning Xueshi looked around and said with a grin, “Fang Lin, you came at the right time today. Senior Meng’s skills are at the top in the resource course. If he gives you guidance, he will definitely be able to find all the fatal injuries in the biochemical beasts, no matter how small they are.
The monster controller course upperclassmen named Fang Lin was stunned.
He had been in close contact with the resource course for several years, so he basically knew all of the upperclassmen who were pretty good at harvesting, but he had never heard of this Senior Meng before.
Meng Chao had an air filtration mask and goggles, along with airtight protection clothes. Fang Lin could not tell just who he was.
However, with Ning Xueshi’s status as the resource course’s student council president and how she was usually very serious, he would naturally not joke with him.
Fang Lin was very sensible. He quickly summoned more freshmen forward. “Senior Meng, I’ll have to trouble you!”
As he looked at the respectful monster controller course freshmen, Meng Chao nodded without any expression. He took two steps backwards and tugged Ning Xueshi to the side.
“What are you doing?” he asked in a whisper.
“I’m letting you see the treatment you’ll get if you join the resource course!” Ning Xueshi grinned. “If you remain in martial arts course, you’ll be drenched in sweat and blood when you fight against the monster controller course, and neither of you will submit to the other, but if you’re in the resource course, everyone will be polite to you.”
Meng Chao found himself speechless.
But he did not have the intention to make things hard for the monster controller course freshmen. When it came to things related to harvesting, he would not allow himself to show any unprofessional behavior.
And he did not have any interest in the grudges between the martial arts course and monster controller course. If the Ultimate Style were to rise to power, the martial arts course, which was ruled by the Beast Soul Style, and the monster controller course students in front of him were all targets he had to persuade, so chose to treat them the same way.
Meng Chao put on a friendly smile for the monster controller course freshmen. It was the type of friendly smile big bad wolves had when they faced white rabbits.
Unfortunately, his smile was hidden by the mask, and they could not see it.
Still, the monster controller course freshmen shuddered. They rubbed the goosebumps on their arms and whispered, “The storage is really cold. It also feels a little ghastly, don’t you think?”
Ning Xueshi ordered a few resource course freshmen, who were pretty skilled, to move the biochemical beasts who had died during the tournament onto the dissection table.
The other students who were only of average skill and had never performed injury examination stood by the side at full focus to observe the action.
The monster controller course freshmen also stayed beside the harvesters. They widened their eyes and refused to miss even the smallest wound and dismembered part on the carcasses.
“The people from the martial arts course are really hilarious. They were feeling lucky after winning a few rounds. They looked so proud of themselves and nearly had the words, ‘I just washed away the humiliation we suffered all this while’ on their faces.”
“But when Big Sis Panther went on the stage, they were all stunned!”
“And they call themselves the Four Great Kings! In front of Wu Wu’s eyes, they’re just four shuddering baby chicks.”
“But we can’t just rely on Big Sis Panther. We have to work hard too!”
“Of course, we have just learned how to control monsters, and our mental connection with the monsters isn’t stable yet. We can’t get a synchronization rate of more than 80%, so we suffered a little. When we cultivate stronger mental powers, our synchronization rate will be above 90%, and we’ll definitely beat up the martial arts course!”
The monster controller course freshmen, who had not had their turn yet, started talking softly at the back.
The martial arts course and monster controller course were old enemies who had a love-hate relationship, so it was normal for them to speak badly of each other behind their backs. The resource course students who were not involved in this whole mess were completely used to this.
Some of them sized up Meng Chao as well. “Just who is this Senior Meng? He has been walking around for five minutes, but he still hasn’t said anything. He sure is acting arrogantly!”
“I don’t think there’s such a person in the resource course. Is he conducting an injury examination? Why isn’t he taking any action?”
Meng Chao ignored everything around him. He kept his hands behind his back while he walked up and down the dissection tables and observed the carcasses.
He paid attention to the resource course freshmen while they dissected the carcasses and wondered about the difference between injury examination and harvesting.
Since the monsters were controlled by freshmen, it was only natural there were no matchless creatures among them.
They were only normal monsters whose genes were modified. At most, they were just Grade One superbeasts.
Their structures were relatively simple, and they did not have any mutated or deformed new organs.
Hence, after Meng Chao observed the situation for five minutes, he generally understood the reason behind the monsters’ deaths, along with the key to injury examination.
“Wait.” He suddenly stopped a resource course freshman. “Don’t be in such a hurry to put it under the knife. Look at the Silver-flame Lion’s stomach. It’s slightly protruded. When you touch it, it’s even softer than if there was internal bleeding. This isn’t a major bleeding caused by organ rupture.
“Instead, it’s the reproduction of the fine hoop virus that is commonly seen in large feline monsters. It causes the rapid decay of organs, which fills the carcass with a combustible and poisonous stench.
“If you recklessly cut it open, you’ll release the high pressure, and it’s very likely that an explosion will happen. If the poisonous pus that dissolved the organs sprayed onto you, even the third-grade protective suit might not be able to withstand it.
“Even if it does, the Silver-flame Lion’s body would be a mess from the explosion, and it’ll be difficult for you to find its fatal injury.
“Here, put a needle at the spot between its third and fourth ribs. Inject 500 ml of liquified condenser to prevent the stench from exploding. Pay attention, inject the liquid slowly… A little slower. You have to be even gentler than when you usually harvest. It’s the only way for you to protect the damaged organs to the best of your abilities.”
Once Meng Chao provided guidance for the freshman to take care of the Silver-flame Lion, he turned to another dissection table.
“The Blade Shattering Python isn’t a valuable monster. Our goal is just to inspect the injury, not harvest its materials. You don’t have to be so careful.”
Meng Chao used his finger to draw a line at the spot above and below the area seven inches from the Blade Shattering Python’s head. “If I’m not mistaken, this Blade Shattering Python died because its opponent from the martial arts course used a rapier to stab its neck. The blade went straight into its oesophagus, from where it reached its heart.
“Perform a cross incision along the lines I just drew. Cut a vertical line that is 25 cm long and a horizontal line that is 12 cm long. Then, you will be able to expose the wound to us to the maximum degree and reproduce the moment when the python was severely injured, as well as come up with the image of the defender and the attacker.”
The resource course freshman did as Meng Chao told him. He cut open the spots above and below the area seven inches below the Blade Shattering Python’s head, flipping out its flesh, and fixing it in place.
Just as Meng Chao said, there was a thin and clear stab wound going from the neck to the oesophagus and ending at the heart.
The attack trajectory and the angle at which the stab was performed were basically the same as the line that Meng Chao had drawn just now.
When the resource course freshmen and the monster controller freshman saw this, they gasped in amazement.
It was especially the case for the monster controller freshmen. They cried out in surprise, sure that Meng Chao was an outstanding upperclassman from the resource course. Their eyes were filled with amazement when they looked at him.
“May I handle the next few biochemical beasts?” Meng Chao volunteered.
The ones with cleaner wounds, which were easier to deal with, had been cut into pieces already, and their fatal wounds were found.
The remaining carcasses were torn up and were a bloody mess. They would fall apart at the slightest touch.
Normally, they would be taken care of by Ning Xueshi and the upperclassmen from the resource course.
But Meng Chao felt an itch in his hands. He really wanted to know just how much his harvesting skills had improved after all his branch meridians were cleared.
“There’s naturally no problem if you want to perform the injury examination yourself.” Ning Xueshi smiled.
“Senior Meng is about to take action!”
All the resource course freshmen stopped whatever they were doing and surrounded Meng Chao. They stood on their tiptoes and craned their necks to watch him.
Fang Lin, the upperclassman of the monster controller course, also sent a signal to his juniors. “This is an outstanding genius from the resource course! Hurry up and open your eyes to learn!”
