I Have A Game Clone

Old Li didn’t mind Ning Shi’s foreshadowing. He thought that Ning Shi was just saying it casually.

Who knew that Ning Shi would give him such a huge surprise?

The method of practicing the knife skill was simple and crude. Old Li asked Ning Shi to take a 10-pound butcher knife and swing it at a hard wooden stake.

!!

On the side of the wooden stake, there was a mark. Ning Shi’s knife must hit the edge of the mark.

To Ning Shi, who had experience in swordsmanship, this was child’s play.

In order to be reasonable, Ning Shi initially cut three or four times out of every 10 times near the score.

As he practiced, Ning Shi gradually made sure that five or six out of every ten slashes would land on the designated position.

Even after hundreds of swings, Ning Shi’s arms were already sore, but he still guaranteed his hit rate.

This made Old Li very surprised. He asked Ning Shi, “Have you practiced swordsmanship before?”

In fact, this was a very stupid question. How could an orphan in an orphanage have the conditions to practice swordsmanship?

Ning Shi shook his head. “I’ve never practiced it. I just have a special feeling for knives. Holding a knife in my hand feels like an extension of my arm.”

Old Li looked at Ning Shi as if he was looking at a rare treasure.

After a while, he stopped his slaughtering work, took out a black smoke fruit, and put it in his mouth. He chewed hard and then sighed.

“Xiao Ning, you’re a one-in-ten-thousand swordsmanship genius. I can’t be too selfish and ruin your future.

“With your talent, you might be able to pass the mecha training and become a noble mecha master. In today’s society, everything is low-grade, but mechas are the highest.

“Even if you can’t become a mecha master, you can still become a swordsman in the city’s martial arts school. Swordsmen belong to the elite class of society.

“Although being a butcher has a certain future, it’s not a decent job after all.”

Ning Shi wasn’t interested in any martial arts school. Could martial arts schools kill monsters to level up? As for mechas, that was still a long way off.

Becoming a butcher was still the best. He stopped swinging his knife and wiped the sweat off his forehead. “Master, I quite like being a butcher. Even if I don’t work in the orphanage in the future and have other paths, I will still not give up the inheritance and profession of a butcher.”

In fact, Old Li was also reluctant to part with a genius successor like Ning Shi. What he said just now was really for Ning Shi’s sake. Hearing Ning Shi say this, he no longer insisted.

He left the farm, turned back to his room, took out a big box, and handed it to Ning Shi.

“This is jelly meat that I obtained when I was exploring in my early years. This is the essence of a Level 3 radioactive creature. If you eat a bite every day, it will ensure that you have the energy for a day’s training and can also improve your physical fitness.

“The meat won’t go bad, just put it in a safe place. Remember, you can only take a small bite a day. If you eat too much, you will be poisoned. The meat must be eaten raw. It tastes good, but it must not be cooked. Otherwise, it will lose more than half of its nutrition.

“Don’t worry, although the butcher profession is crude, as long as you practice well, you will have a good future.”

Old Li really took Ning Shi as his last disciple. Jelly meat was a very precious extraordinary material. It was difficult to buy it even if you had money.

Ning Shi remembered Old Li’s kindness in his heart and would definitely repay him in the future.

He could feel that Old Li was also a butcher with a story, but he did not ask much. The most important thing now was to kill monsters and level up.

Ning Shi opened the box. There was a large piece of red flesh that looked like jelly inside. Ning Shi picked up a spoon, scooped a spoonful of it, and put it into his mouth.

The texture was extremely tender and smooth. After entering the mouth, not only did it not have any bloody smell, but it also had a faint sweetness.

After a bite of the jelly meat, Ning Shi felt a warm current rising from his stomach, and his sore arms were suddenly full of strength again.

He continued to practice his knife skills. With the support of the jelly meat, Ning Shi wielded his knife thousands of times.

Ning Shi controlled the rhythm. After swinging his knife thousands of times, he began to improve his hit rate and cut the same position of the wooden stake hundreds of times in a row.

Crack!

The thick and solid wooden stake broke from the mark, and the upper half of the wooden stake fell to the ground.

It was already seven o’clock in the morning. Old Li looked at the broken wooden stake and said, “According to the rules of the One Blade, you’re qualified to kill living creatures after you cut off a wooden stake made of ironwood.

“I didn’t think you’d be able to share my workload so quickly.”

Old Li handed the alloy knife to Ning Shi and said, “Let’s go, the young must see blood.”

After being in Titanium Pole World for an entire day, he could finally kill monsters to level up. Ning Shi suppressed the joy in his heart.

He was still playing the role of a newbie who was killing for the first time. In the midst of his confusion, he was lucky enough to kill a red-eyed rabbit.

[ Killed a red-eyed rabbit. Gained 2 experience points. ]

The jelly meat was very magical. Ning Shi had trained for so long, but he still felt full of energy and didn’t feel any fatigue.

As expected, the poor studied while the rich trained. Without jelly meat, Ning Shi’s strength would probably be exhausted after swinging his knife hundreds of times a day. But now, he could keep training and killing monsters.

A bite of jelly meat saved him at least half a month’s cultivation time.

Under Old Li’s care, Ning Shi gradually got used to killing, and the process of killing the red-eyed rabbits became smoother and smoother.

[ Killed a red-eyed rabbit. Gained 2 experience points.]

…

[ Killed a red-eyed rabbit. Gained 2 experience points.]

After killing 25 red-eyed rabbits and accumulating 50 experience points, Ning Shi finally leveled up.

[ Butcher has been upgraded to Tier 2 (0/100). Physique +1, skill point +1, potential point +1. ]
