190 War and Slaughter (Part 1)

Seeing the upgrade notification, Ning Shi’s anxious heart instantly calmed down. As long as he could upgrade, his strength would increase rapidly.

With his physique increased to 11 points, he had once again exceeded the limit of an ordinary human. Ning Shi’s speed of wielding his sword was even faster.

It was just that he hadn’t learned any skills yet, so Ning Shi had already accumulated his skill points and potential points.

He continued to slaughter the red-eyed rabbits.

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

…

The red-eyed rabbit’s killing power was actually greater than the wild boar on Saturn. It was just that it was smaller than the wild boar, but in terms of speed and strength, it was stronger than the wild boar.

Ning Shi often needed to observe carefully and wait for an opportunity to find the red-eyed rabbit’s weakness and kill it in one blow.

Ning Shi’s current physique was 11 points, just breaking through the limit of ordinary human beings. Even with the physical support of jelly meat and the assistance of swordsmanship experience, the speed of killing red-eyed rabbits was not fast.

It took more than three hours until 12 o’clock in the afternoon. Ning Shi had killed another 50 red-eyed rabbits and accumulated 100 points of experience.

[ Butcher has been upgraded to Tier 3 (0/200). Physique +1, skill point +1, potential point +1. ]

After leveling up again, his physique had increased to 12 points, and his skill points and potential points had both accumulated to 2 points. Ning Shi was thrilled and was about to continue swinging his knife.

However, Old Li, who had been dissecting the red-eyed rabbit’s flesh in the slaughter pen, said, “It’s time to eat. Xiao Ning, take a break and eat first. Jelly meat can restore your strength, but it can’t replace food. You’ll still be hungry if you don’t eat.”

Hearing Old Li’s words, Ning Shi felt hungry.

He had been here since 3:30 a.m. And had only taken a small bite of jelly meat.

Previously, he was so immersed in the thrill of killing monsters and leveling up that he didn’t notice it. Now that he heard Old Li say that it was time to eat, he couldn’t help salivating at the corner of his mouth, and his stomach began to growl.

Old Li took Ning Shi to the sink to wash up, and then they went to the dormitory provided by the breeding ground for the butcher.

It was a three-story bungalow with seven rooms, two halls, and three bathrooms. Although the decoration was simple, it had all the facilities.

Old Li was the only one living in the entire house.

When the two of them walked into the dining room of the house, the orphanage’s Auntie in charge of cooking had already placed a sumptuous meal on the table.

Ning Shi glanced at it. There were four dishes and a soup, all of which were meat dishes, and there were a lot of them.

Compared to the food and accommodation of the orphans, this place was heaven.

These conditions were probably the best in the entire orphanage.

Old Li gestured for Ning Shi to take a seat, and smilingly ladled a bowl of fragrant rice for Ning Shi, speaking as he ate.

“Are you curious as to why my living environment is so good?”

Ning Shi took the rice and didn’t respond to Old Li’s words. Instead, he picked up a large piece of spicy rabbit meat and ate it with the rice.

The rest was not important. He had to fill his stomach first.

Old Li wasn’t angry at Ning Shi’s nonchalant behavior but said to himself.

“Because of the battle of the two cities, the entire origin planet was ravaged by radioactive creatures. In order to fight against the radioactive creatures, the Norse Republic adopted a model of a combination of brigade and mercenaries.

“Specifically, in Sword Shield City, there is the 2nd Division of the 3rd Army of the republic, which is the city protection army of Sword Shield City, with a total of 50,000 people.

“They’ll defend the city and stop the invasion of the radioactive creatures.

“In order to prevent the excessive number of radioactive creatures in the suburbs, the army would go out of the city every month to sweep and kill the radioactive creatures. They would also obtain some precious resources in the suburbs.

“In order to mobilize the power of the people, the government established a mercenary system. Any citizen over the age of 18 could apply to become a mercenary.

“After becoming a mercenary, they can legally purchase and use hot or cold weapons from the government.

“When mercenaries explored the suburbs, not only could they find precious resources and become rich overnight, but they could also get a corresponding reward from the officials if they killed radioactive creatures.

“Although mercenaries are dangerous, their pay is very high.”

Ning Shi didn’t interrupt and continued to work. What Old Li said seemed to have nothing to do with his treatment in the orphanage, but Ning Shi knew that he must have a reason for saying this.

Old Li’s mouth didn’t stop talking, but his hands didn’t slow down either. With a move of his chopsticks, he picked up a large piece of meat and put it in his mouth. He chewed a few times and swallowed it.

He continued.

“Our city is like an isolated island, surrounded by an ocean of radioactive creatures. The resources in the city have become very limited, and the lives of ordinary people are extremely difficult.”

Ning Shi had learned about the life of ordinary people from books.

As the mother planet of the human race, the origin planet was very technologically advanced. All kinds of electronic equipment and communication network were very advanced. There were flying city cars, national battleships, and interstellar mechas.

Although there were countries on the origin planet, the basic governing system was the system of aristocrats.

Sometimes, the rapid development of science and technology did not mean that social relations would become more and more civilized. On the contrary, it would gradually become feudal.

With the development of technology, resources were more and more concentrated in the hands of a small number of people.

Some families used the power of technology to control a large number of resources and gradually formed a noble class.

These nobles usually controlled an entire city or an entire region.

Among all the aristocrats on the origin planet, the Qin family of Cannon City and the Smith family of Skylight City were the two biggest aristocrats.

The two families each gathered a large number of noble forces and ruled the origin planet together.
