Chapter 186 - 186 The Unavoidable Rabbit’s Fate (Part 3)
186 The Unavoidable Rabbit’s Fate (Part 3)
The system’s notification woke Ning Shi up. The killing between the hosts of the origin treasure was based on their strength.
His ultimate goal in coming to the Titanium Pole World this time was definitely the world’s origin treasure. Since that was the case, Ning Shi wanted to rely on himself to improve his strength.
He didn’t want to rely on the so-called child of fate.
There was no doubt that Nico would become very powerful in the future.
Nico was talented in many ways and he was very powerful in every aspect. However, he was able to learn mechanical maintenance skills in the orphanage. Furthermore, he had the ability to emit bad luck and was very skilled in first aid.
It could be inferred that many people had died in the orphanage over the years because of him.
All in all, Nico not only killed people, but he was also a muse hated by everyone. However, he was living well in the orphanage.
All of this showed that there must be an unknown person or force protecting Nico.
Ning Shi’s rash contact would not only be killed by bad luck, but it would also increase the risk of exposing himself.
The loss outweighs the gain.
The game system had given him three days to complete Nico’s mission. Perhaps it was to remind him to pay attention to Nico and not to approach him by force.
Moreover, this mission was almost impossible to complete now.
Nico’s heart was extremely strong and her mind was very mature.
Due to his muse identity and his ability to have bad luck, he had been feared and spurned by people since he was young. He had been hurt many times when it came to making friends.
He would be extremely wary of any stranger.
Under such circumstances, it would be good enough if Ning Shi could become ordinary friends with him within three days. It was impossible to become good friends.
After thinking through all this, Ning Shi said with a smile, “Nico, you are right. I should respect Wang Fu’s professional judgment and your good intentions.”
After that, Ning Shi took the dishes and sat opposite Wang Fu, keeping a certain distance from Nico.
The three of them ate their dinner in silence.
After the meal, Nico invited Ning Shi to go to the reading room to read with him. However, Ning Shi refused. He still had important things to do.
Looking at Ning Shi’s back, Wang Fu shrugged and said to Nico, “Another normal person who cowered. Perhaps I’m the only one in the world who is muddleheaded and insists on being your friend.”
Nico did not answer. He just looked at Ning Shi’s back thoughtfully.
In his perception, Ning Shi had sincerely wanted to be his friend before, and he really didn’t mind his identity and bad luck.
However, for some reason, Ning Shi’s attitude suddenly became a little colder after the meal.
Nico did not think too much about it. Over the years, there were too many people like Ning Shi who retreated in the face of difficulties. He had long been used to it.
Following his memory, Ning Shi came to the Director’s office of the orphanage. The Old Director, Song Yuan, was writing something on the desk.
Ning Shi knocked on the door. Song Yuan raised his white head and pushed down the glasses on the bridge of his nose. He rolled his eyes slightly and saw Ning Shi’s face clearly.
“Hello Ning Shi, is there something you need from me?”
“Director, I’ll be 18 in five days. According to the law, I’ll have to leave the orphanage when I’m of age.
“I’ve been living in the hospital for eight years, and I’ve always been grateful for everyone’s care. So, I want to help the hospital do something within my power in the last few days.
“I heard that the back kitchen of the cafeteria has always been short of people, especially butchers. I’m willing to be a volunteer.”
Ning Shi had walked around the orphanage during the day, and it wasn’t without any gains. At least, from the communication of the orphanage staff, he learned that the cafeteria was short of butchers.
Sword Shield City Orphanage No. 15 took up a large area and more than 10,000 orphans lived there. In order to save money, the orphanage raised red-eyed rabbits and other carnivorous animals.
Although red-eyed rabbits were rabbits, their bodies had become bigger and stronger after their genes had mutated due to radiation. Without professional skills, they could easily get injured when killing rabbits.
No one liked bloody and dangerous work, and capable experts also looked down on slaughtering work, so butchers had always been in short supply in the cafeteria.
But this position was just right for Ning Shi. Although his doppelganger didn’t copy the skills of the main body, the swordsmanship and fist techniques in Ning Shi’s consciousness were still there.
With his swordsmanship skills, killing rabbits was as easy as turning his hand.
This was a free source of experience, and Ning Shi urgently needed to kill monsters to level up.
Hearing Ning Shi’s words, Wei Yuan examined him and sighed, “Ning Shi, you’ve also grown up, but slaughtering has a certain degree of danger. Red-eyed rabbits are all raised in captivity. You need to capture them and then slaughter them. This is not an easy task.”
The Old Director had obviously misunderstood. He thought that Ning Shi was laying the foundation for his job after leaving the orphanage.
“Since you’re interested in learning the art of slaughtering, I’ll inform the butcher master, Old Li. After you go there, you can learn from him.
“As long as you study hard and master the slaughtering technique, I will let you stay in the orphanage and pay you as a butcher.
“Although the butchering job is not decent, the salary is not bad. It is enough for you to support yourself and even find a woman to start a family.
“If you master the slaughtering technique, you can stay in the orphanage and not have to go to the dangerous suburbs to explore and hunt. This is a good choice.”
Ning Shi didn’t correct the Old Director’s misunderstanding. He said seriously, “Thank you, Director!”
The Old Director called Old Li in front of Ning Shi and explained everything. Then, he said to Ning Shi.
“Go to the farm at 3:30 a.m. tomorrow to find Old Li. He will arrange your work.”
Ning Shi expressed his thanks once again and left the director’s office.
Thinking that he would have to start killing rabbits again in the early hours of the next morning, he still couldn’t get around the rabbit after going one round.
There was no helping it. Rabbits would always be the best choice to gain experience.
