Chapter 3 Killing the Embryo
When Lao Wu saw that Lu Hao was stunned, he thought he was frightened and patted Lu Hao on the shoulder.
"What's wrong, kid? Scared? What's there to be afraid of? It's just one cut. Just think of it as poking a radish."
Lu Hao snapped out of his reverie and returned to reality. Looking at the blood-sucking pig before him, he suddenly stopped feeling disgusted by the gore. This was his sustenance for becoming stronger.
"Uncle Wu, it's alright. It's just that you're not used to it the first time, but it'll get much better after that."
"Shall we continue?"
"Okay, let's continue. After all, I still really need this job," Lu Hao explained.
After all, he could obtain a constant stream of kill points here without any risk. This place was simply Lu Hao's paradise.
Old Wu, who was standing to the side, glanced at Lu Hao but didn't say anything more.
And so, one head, two heads, three heads...
The sun began to set outside, and the boy in the slaughterhouse finally stopped.
"You slaughtered a total of 57 pigs. You're a natural-born man. You were a little rusty at first, but later on you didn't look like a newbie at all."
Old Wu looked at the boy in front of him and said.
He originally thought the boy would give up after the first killing, since most people couldn't stand the screams of pigs. But it turned out just as he expected; after killing the first pig, the boy stood there stunned.
I had to wake him up myself, and he acted like nothing had happened. Then he started slaughtering pigs like crazy, killing a total of 57 pigs in one afternoon. And the more he slaughtered, the more excited he got. I wonder if he has some kind of mental illness.
"Uncle Wu, I just want to get used to things quickly so I can go to work tomorrow."
Lu Hao naturally had no idea what Lao Wu was thinking, but each pig he killed earned him 2 kill points, and he had now reached 114 kill points. Tonight he could see what the kill points were for.
Just then, the slaughterhouse owner walked over.
"How's it going, Xiao Lu? How's it settling in?"
"Boss, that's great! Can I start work officially tomorrow?"
The slaughterhouse owner glanced at Old Wu, who nodded, and said, "No problem, Xiao Lu. Come over tomorrow afternoon. Work hard, and we won't treat you unfairly."
After chatting with his boss for a while, Lu Hao headed home, intending to take a shower and test the effects of kill points.
After Lu Hao left.
"Boss, this kid is inhuman! You didn't see it all in one afternoon. He went from being too scared to kill to becoming more and more skilled. He's a born killer! Could he have some kind of mental illness and one day he'll treat me like a pig and kill me?"
"No, Lao Wu, you're overthinking it. This kid came here because his family is struggling financially and he has no other options. So it's normal that he's not afraid in order to make money."
"He probably sees every pig as a walking banknote, that's why he's not afraid. This kid is bound to be successful in the future."
Lu Hao was unaware that Lao Wu already considered him a potential killer and someone with mental illness. However, even if he knew, he wouldn't explain, since he was destined to develop down this path in the future, and to gain more killing points, he needed to kill.
Back home, before his mother returned, Lu Hao went into the bathroom to take a shower. He had spent the afternoon slaughtering pigs and was now covered in the smell of blood, even stronger than in the morning.
I opened the control panel while taking a shower.
[Kill Point Allocation]
[Host: Lu Hao]
[Qi and Blood: 170/179 calories+]
[Mental Strength: 220/269 Hz+]
Storage space: 1 cubic meters
Kill Points: 114
My kill points have reached 114, and my health has recovered to 170 calories, but my mental energy is recovering more slowly, currently only at 220 Hz.
Lu Hao focused his attention on the plus sign after the Qi and Blood value.
[Spend 100 kill points to increase maximum health by 1 point?]
It can be increased, and it's up to your maximum health and mana.
Once the maximum Qi and Blood level exceeds 179, a second bone tempering process will be performed, which will significantly strengthen one's foundation.
Lu Hao did not immediately improve, after all, he was not at his peak yet. He planned to wait until his mental strength was fully recovered before breaking through this barrier and then starting the second bone tempering.
Then Lu Hao focused his attention on the plus sign after "mental power".
[Spend 100 kill points to increase maximum mental strength by 1 point?]
Mental strength can also be enhanced, and like Qi and Blood, it is 100 kill points.
However, mental strength is not very useful at the low-level stage. On the contrary, the second bone tempering will definitely enhance mental strength. Therefore, the main focus now is on improving qi and blood.
Lu Hao took a closer look and discovered that kill points could not only be used to increase the upper limit, but also to restore consumption.
One kill point can restore ten units of health or five units of mental energy.
A smile instantly appeared on Lu Hao's face. With this recovery ability, as long as he had enough kill points, he could quickly pass through the low-level stage. The low-level stage was all about bone tempering, and bone tempering required blood and qi. He could use kill points to recover, so the tempering would be faster.
Moreover, rapid recovery can also be like Fang Ping's, a perpetual motion machine of qi and blood.
However, he wouldn't expose himself like Fang Ping did. Fang Ping caused a lot of trouble in the early stages because of his continuous flow of qi and blood, and no one investigated him until he reached the high level.
Lu Hao tried using two kill points: one to restore his health and one to restore his mental energy.
An unknown force instantly provided Lu Hao with ten units of Qi and blood and five units of mental energy.
[Qi and Blood: 179/179 calories+]
[Mental Strength: 230/269 Hz+]
The blood and qi only absorbed nine calories, while the remaining one calorie dissipated into the air.
Unable to find out where the energy came from, Lu Hao stopped caring. He figured he'd find out sooner or later as he grew stronger.
I had just finished washing up and tidying my clothes when I heard the door open. It was my mother coming home. Luckily, I had tidied up in advance, otherwise the strong smell of blood would have alerted her.
If she finds out that her son slaughtered 57 pigs this afternoon, who knows what kind of trouble will ensue.
"Mom, you're back? Nothing much going on at the station today, right?"
Lu Hao originally thought he would feel apprehensive about returning home, or that there would be a sense of distance, but in fact, he shouted it out very naturally, as if his soul and the original body's soul had merged and become one.
"It's nothing serious, just normal work. Hao'er, are you hungry? Mom will go make you some food right away."
When Bai Qiuyao returned and saw Lu Hao walking out of the room, she answered while observing her son's expression.
Since Tianbai's sacrifice half a year ago, Lu Hao has been cultivating like a madman. He wants to avenge his brother, and Bai Qiuyao is very worried that Lu Hao will go astray in his cultivation.
Seeing that Lu Hao seemed to be getting over it, Bai Qiuyao relaxed a lot.
Lu Hao sat quietly on the sofa, watching his mother busy herself.
Only now did Lu Hao feel a sense of reality. The unfamiliarity and alienation he felt from the world because of his time travel had all disappeared at this moment.
I am Lu Hao, Bai Qiuyao's son, the only child left in this family. If anyone tries to destroy this little family, then let them see Lu Hao's fist.
All I need to do is take good care of this little family.
