Soon, Lu Fei Fan and the others each took their positions at work, with Cuihua assisting in the heavy lifting. This strong woman was quite adept at physical labor, even wielding a cleaver with the precision of a needle to process the meat that the three had butchered.
A Teng was responsible for cleaning twenty-one Swallowing Crystal Pigs. These fish-like creatures were as large as sheep, but their bodies were covered in smooth skin, requiring blades forged from steel to butcher them. This was something A Teng was quite skilled at, as these Swallowing Crystal Pigs were common in his daily work. Aside from the special requirements for the knives, there wasn't much technical skill involved.
Niu Dali, on the other hand, was tasked with slaughtering six Earth Sea Turtles. These turtles, which withdrew into their shells, were not easy to handle, and each one had a diameter of about a meter. Slaughtering them required considerable effort, so Niu Dali had no choice but to use a steel hammer for this labor-intensive task.
Next came the processing of thirteen Mo Xiang Jings and Giant Tiger Fish. The processing of these two types of beasts required special handling, so Lu Fei Fan had to take care of it personally.
Among Niu Dali, A Teng, and Lu Fei Fan, only Lu Fei Fan's Knife Technique had received praise and recognition from Iron Rooster. Both Dali and A Teng unanimously regarded Lu Fei Fan as the 'Trump Card Butcher,' a title earned through relentless practice under Iron Rooster's demanding supervision. This title was not just empty praise; it was a testament to the skills Lu Fei Fan had honed through countless hours of work.
Working under Iron Rooster's watchful eye often meant that women were treated like men and men like livestock. Thus, Lu Fei Fan sometimes found herself doing the workload of three people. Although her performance had dipped somewhat recently, her butchering Knife Technique remained sharp.
Lu Fei Fan lifted a plump and slippery Mo Xiang Jing. This hefty creature weighed several dozen pounds, and its supporting skeleton posed a challenge for many butchers. However, Lu Fei Fan calmly ran her hands over the skeleton to locate its main structure before swiftly drawing a steel cleaver from the side rack. With rapid precision akin to a storm, she struck down with each chop landing accurately on the flesh beside the skeleton—clean and decisive.
After fifty-one precise cuts, Lu Fei Fan set down her knife and exhaled deeply. The flesh of the Mo Xiang Jing had been neatly separated into meat, entrails, and skeleton without any fuss.
Watching this scene from his office, Chou squinted his eyes slightly, intrigued by her Knife Technique: "This Knife Technique is somewhat interesting... heh."
However, he soon lost interest as Lu Fei Fan's subsequent movements mirrored her earlier chopping technique. Her method of deboning and separating meat showed no signs of slowing down despite her exertion—this was what he found intriguing yet somewhat monotonous for someone like him.
Meanwhile, Lu Fei Fan continued to handle one Mo Xiang Jing after another with calm efficiency. Using her self-created method to process them from tail to head was twice as fast as many butchers who worked from head to tail in a more traditional manner.
Feeling bored, Chou stood up to bid farewell to Iron Rooster before stepping out to attend to some matters. He promised to return at the agreed time to collect his goods. Iron Rooster smiled broadly as he sent this 'God of Wealth' out of the slaughterhouse.
Thinking about making a fortune today made him unable to contain his excitement; he slapped his thigh and hummed an old tune as he cheerfully returned to his office for a drink to celebrate his good fortune.
Inside the slaughterhouse, the sounds of knives chopping meat echoed continuously. After meticulously deboning another Mo Xiang Jing and separating the meat from the bones into baskets without looking back, Lu Fei Fan casually picked up another Mo Xiang Jing from the ground and immediately noticed that this one felt heavier than the others!
She paused and set down her knife before feeling around its skeleton. To her surprise, she discovered something hard in its abdomen. Normally, aside from its back and fins where there would be bones, there shouldn't be any in its belly. However, this Mo Xiang Jing's abdomen appeared swollen as if it contained something inside—could it be... pregnant?
As Lu Fei Fan turned his head to look around the office, he noticed that both Ugly and Iron Rooster were gone. This meant that if the Mo Xiang Jing was indeed pregnant with a brood of fry, he could simply pocket the profits for himself. The fish fry from Mo Xiang Jing were quite popular on the dining tables of the upper echelons of the Free Federation. Not only were they rich in nutrients, but their cooking methods were also quite elaborate. However, they were rarely seen on the market, and naturally, their prices were steep.
With this thought in mind, Lu Fei Fan dragged the Mo Xiang Jing into the processing room of the Slaughterhouse. Niu Dali and A Teng were busy working away, completely unaware of what Lu Fei Fan was doing inside the processing area.
Lu Fei Fan picked up a dagger and carefully cut open the abdomen of the Mo Xiang Jing. Suddenly, a rush of mucus poured out!
Upon seeing what was revealed inside the whale's belly, Lu Fei Fan felt both hope and astonishment. Disappointment washed over him when he realized that it was not a nest of fish fry as he had imagined. Instead, to his surprise, there was a strange and peculiar Black Metal Sphere hidden within the Mo Xiang Jing's abdomen!
What on earth was going on?
Lu Fei Fan examined it closely; this Black Metal Sphere was about the size of a soccer ball. He couldn't fathom how this Metal Ball ended up inside the Mo Xiang Jing's belly. What exactly was this Black Metal Sphere? Was it wrapped around a treasure trove? Or perhaps it was some kind of bomb?
As Lu Fei Fan touched the smooth Metal Ball and lifted it for a closer look, he found it even stranger that it changed size in his hands, shrinking down to about the size of a baseball.
Such a miraculous occurrence made Lu Fei Fan gasp as he held the Black Metal Sphere and inspected it from all angles. He suddenly felt that this Metal Ball might not be just an ordinary object.
Just as he thought this, the Metal Ball suddenly released a powerful electric current, crackling loudly as electric arcs enveloped Lu Fei Fan, knocking him to the ground in convulsions.
Due to the loud sounds of knives cutting through meat outside, no one noticed that Lu Fei Fan had been incapacitated by a mysteriously appearing Metal Ball just beyond a wall.
The Black Metal Sphere slipped from Lu Fei Fan's grasp and rolled onto the ground. Suddenly, it opened up on its own, revealing three Black Metal legs that supported the sphere. A scanner popped out from its top with a click, casting a red light over Lu Fei Fan's unconscious form.
After completing its scan, it emitted a series of mechanical whirring sounds. After a moment, a square virtual Light Screen appeared in front of it, beginning to calculate the results of its scan while speaking in a faint mechanical language.
“Scanning biological species: Human. Human body consists of 206 bones, possesses 40,000 genes, totaling 0 billion base pairs. Brain domain comprehensive assessment: estimated approximately 14 billion neurons; brain development level at 5%. Comprehensive evaluation indicates overall carrying capacity at 8684%, capable of immediate chip implantation!”
Following this, the Black Metal Sphere climbed onto Lu Fei Fan's body using its three metal legs and positioned itself in front of his forehead. It raised one sharp metal leg that transformed into a precise mechanical blade and effortlessly sliced open his forehead. The Black Metal Sphere then used mechanical pincers to carefully extract a golden translucent chip composed of countless flowing energy blocks from within itself. If Lu Fei Fan had not been unconscious at that moment, he would have certainly noticed that this chip—about the size of half a fingernail—appeared like a flowing energy entity with shimmering light reflecting off its intricate patterns.
The mechanical hand implanted this chip into Lu Fei Fan's forehead wound. As blood flowed around it, the chip gradually sank into his head. When the light finally dimmed, the wound disappeared without leaving any trace behind, and the remaining Black Metal Sphere vanished as well.
A few minutes later, Lu Fei Fan opened his eyes and looked at Hua Ban. He raised his hand to examine his fingers, pinched his face, and even slapped himself, realizing it really hurt. He immediately sat up and glanced around, but he couldn't find the Black Metal Sphere anywhere.
Instead, he saw the Mo Xiang Jing that he had cut open on the water platform. Could it be that he had just imagined everything?
Suddenly, a shy and bashful head peeked in, looking at Lu Fei Fan, who was sitting on the floor with a strange expression. The girl was extremely nervous as she gazed at him and sweetly asked, "Fei Fan brother, what's wrong? Are you tired? Is your breathing not smooth? How about I give you some artificial respiration?" She pouted her lips and lunged toward him like a dog snatching a bone.
“...No!” Lu Fei Fan quickly sprang up from the ground, decisively cutting off Cuihua's budding intentions with a swift motion!
Cuihua watched as Lu Fei Fan grabbed the Mo Xiang Jing and dashed past her as if she were invisible, unable to help but pout in grievance.
Lu Fei Fan checked the time; ten minutes had passed. Was what just happened really a dream? Whatever it was, he didn't want to think about it anymore. What mattered now was that he needed to finish the slaughtering tasks that were left in this remaining time.
He focused entirely on his work, entering a state of complete immersion. He didn’t even notice that his speed and precision with the knife had increased beyond his usual capabilities, and he felt no fatigue at all. A faint golden pattern appeared on his forehead, resembling a special golden key. It flickered with a unique light before vanishing beneath Lu Fei Fan's skin.
In the busy Slaughterhouse, no one noticed the strange occurrence happening with Lu Fei Fan. However, his speed and accuracy continued to improve without him realizing it as he entered a state of oblivion.
As the final moments approached an hour mark, Chou returned at that moment. However, what was shocking was that he held something in his hand that left Lu Fei Fan and Iron Rooster once again astonished...
