Chapter 18 Golden Ghost(1/2)
Soon, the huge yellow-striped giant-tailed scorpion, including the slightly corrosive acid and the deadly poisonous needle, were all sorted into categories and turned into perfect-looking materials for bottles and jars.
From the corner of Meng Chao's eyes, a message popped up:
[Congratulations to Firebringer for completing the first standard resource collection]
[Resources are the first element for the survival and development of civilization. All wars of civilization are fought around resources. Resource collectors are also the most important arms of any civilization]
[Your civilization will become more powerful because of the resources you collect, with a contribution value of +3, and expert-level "Elementary Harvesting Technique" proficiency +1.1%]
Meng Chao whistled.
But he found that there was silence behind him, and the atmosphere was a bit strange.
When he looked back, everyone, including his father, stared at him with ghost eyes.
"..."
Meng Chao found that he had accidentally done it too fast and too hard.
Although it is only the second level of "Basic Harvest Technique", what he has mastered is a future version that strives for excellence.
Moreover, his muscle fibers and nerve endings have just been cleaned up by the "perfect level "Basic Marksmanship"", and his mastery of breathing, heartbeat and subtle movements is far superior to ordinary reapers.
This is not at the level of a high school student. He is simply a veteran in the reaper circle!
"Dad, dear uncles, now that things have happened, I have a secret that I have to tell."
In the silence, he could only forcefully explain, "Actually, I have dreamed of 'becoming an ace reaper' since I was a child. Every time my father went to work, I would secretly hide and practice hard - these days, all kinds of simulations are extremely realistic.
It is not difficult to find high-quality monster models and specimens, as well as monster illustrated books and lifelike three-dimensional structural diagrams on the Internet.
"Especially after I was injured last year and knew that there was little hope of getting into college, I became more determined to become a reaper and practiced ten times crazier. Ninth Middle School is a key middle school, and the biology teachers are all monster experts. They helped me 'open a small stove', so that
I have benefited a lot.
"Coupled with the influence of my ears and my eyes, and my family background, the emperor has paid off, and this is what you see."
The reapers woke up from a dream.
They have little education and have an instinctive awe for the legendary key high schools.
Subconsciously accepting this explanation, they all looked at Meng Yishan with envy.
"Brother Meng, you are so lucky. You have such a powerful successor, and you are looking forward to enjoying the blessings from now on!"
Meng Yishan said suspiciously: "Achao, you have wanted to be a reaper since you were a child? I never heard you mention it, why?"
Meng Chao blushed: "Isn't it because... Dad, you are the person I admire the most in my life. I think the job you are engaged in is the greatest career in the world. I have vowed to become a person like you since I was a child!"
Meng Yishan was stunned.
"That's true," the middle-aged man thought to himself, "I was a bit handsome when I was young. It's only natural for my son to take me as an example."
Meng Chao's face turned redder: "As for not mentioning it before... I'm embarrassed to admit that I admire my dad. It's too disgusting."
"Silly boy!"
The old father laughed dumbly, "Don't you tell me, can't I see your admiration for me?"
He completely believed his son's words and was both pleased and sad.
I am gratified that my son is so sensible and capable, and he was born to be a reaper.
What makes me sad is that I am useless and can't get enough resources to help my son get a bachelor's degree.
You must know that a reaper is a profession with a very low threshold but a high upper limit.
Harvesting ordinary monsters can be done by ordinary people, and it is not much different from killing pigs and cows.
But if you want to harvest the king of super beasts, the "Nightmare Beast", "Hell Beast", and "Doomsday Beast", you must have extraordinary power.
With his son's talent, if he can become extraordinary, he might have a chance to become an ace reaper.
When the time comes, all the powerful men in Dragon City will respectfully ask him to cook monsters.
But now, my son can only stay at the bottom of the reaper circle for the rest of his life, just like them...
"Dad, shall we continue?"
Meng Chao interrupted his father's contemplation, "I just did some practical exercises, combined with the theory learned in class, I seem to have found the feeling."
Father and son teamed up and harvested seven more yellow-striped giant-tailed scorpions.
Meng Yishan's team was amazed again and again, and everyone looked at Meng Chao in a new light.
Meng Chao also gained a lot.
As the proficiency of "Basic Harvesting Technique" continues to accumulate, the memory of the past life becomes clearer and solidified bit by bit. Every time he cuts off a monster limb, peels off a bundle of nerves or sucks out a ball of mucus, the feeling on his fingertips is wonderful.
Suddenly, he made a move.
"Golden Ghost?"
Golden Ghost, a mutant of the yellow-striped giant-tailed scorpion.
It is slightly smaller than an ordinary giant-tailed scorpion, but its venom is five times more powerful. Its poisonous needles and venom can be sprayed dozens of meters away.
It also possesses a certain degree of mimicry, often disguising itself as an ordinary giant-tailed scorpion and delivering fatal blows to its prey.
The battlefield was so smoky that no one noticed the golden ghost and other yellow-striped giant-tailed scorpions just now.
"Do you even know the Golden Ghost?" The reapers distinguished each other carefully for a while and exclaimed one after another.
"What the biology teacher just taught."
Meng Chao smiled slightly, moved his wrists and fingers, "Prepare No. 9, No. 14 and No. 22 handles, No. 5, No. 8 and No. 11 blades, as well as armor-breaking hammers and bone-exploring needles, and prepare another 35%
Concentrated cooling stabilizer, be careful to add 1% mithril to it. There is a high possibility that high-grade materials will be found in the golden ghost's body, so it must be properly stored."
Unconsciously, the "expert level" domineering power leaked out.
Meng Yishan and others looked hesitant: "Achao, let it go, just use cooling spray to keep the body intact. Supervisor Gu will handle it later."
Director Gu is the most skilled harvester of Jiuxin Resource Recycling Company.
Meng Yishan is a tough guy with a lot of strength. After working for more than ten years, he won't have much trouble dealing with ordinary monsters.
But the Golden Ghost is close to the peak of ordinary monsters, and is only a hair away from super beasts.
The structure of the body is complex, containing venom and acid, and spiritual organs and crystals may also appear.
Such high-level monsters are usually handled by Manager Gu or the extraordinary person who kills them, such as Mr. Tiger himself.
Meng Chao had forgotten this rule.
But……
He leaned over Golden Ghost's fatal wound and smelled it, then carefully dipped some mucus flowing out of the wound to feel the consistency.
"No, this golden ghost suffered a penetrating injury at the connection between its torso and tail. The nerve cords and nerve balls were exposed to the air for too long. If you wait any longer, the flesh and blood will mutate, the psychic energy will go out of control, and it will turn into a time bomb in minutes.
He shook his head and said, "We can't wait for others to come. We must race against time to get as much material as possible."
The reapers looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
Meng Yishan smelled it: "There's something wrong with the smell."
"There's nothing we can do about it if it's wrong."
A reaper kindly said, "Achao, you don't understand. Our skills are too poor to deal with such high-level monsters. If we make a mistake, Lord Tiger will blame us, and no one will get a good harvest. As for the material being corrupted,
, then it’s not our problem. The battlefield is so messy, who can guarantee that every monster will be harvested 100% perfectly?"
Meng Chao still refused to give up.
He knew that his father was affiliated with "Jiuxin" and his basic salary was very small and all depended on performance.
Ordinary monsters can probably get 2 to 4 points of the material value based on the harvesting difficulty, risk factor and material quality.
The value of the golden ghost is dozens of times higher than that of the ordinary yellow-striped giant-tailed scorpion. How can you let it go in vain?
Chi.
The sword flashed and pierced the golden ghost's fatal wound.
In another flash, the carapace around the wound was peeled off, revealing the trembling contents.
"It's okay, all uncles, please take a rest. Dad, please come and help me. That famous teacher from another school who came to Ninth Middle School for further study happened to have taught me the anatomy method of the Golden Ghost." Meng Chao said calmly.
"ah!"
Everyone was shocked when they saw how reckless he was.
Meng Yishan also frowned slightly, but his son had already opened the wound, and the monster material was corrupting and mutating at a speed visible to the naked eye. He could only stand firmly behind his son.
"You guys take a rest, I drove the Golden Ghost, and if anything happens, I will be blamed." He waved his hand.
The reapers were stunned for a moment, and after a moment, they all gathered around.
"Brother Meng, what are you talking about? A Chao is just like our nephew, how can you two father and son carry it?"
"Although we are big bosses and have golden ghosts, we can still bear it!"
"Brother Meng, don't try to monopolize this golden ghost. If you have money, everyone will make it. If anything happens, everyone will bear it!"
To be continued...
