Meng Chao caught his breath.
Knowing that he had come abruptly, he could only respectfully serve tea to the old man. After a moment of hesitation, he asked, "Senior, are you not going to fight?"
When Ning Xueshi heard this, her face turned red with anger. "You stole my master's technique, and you're being so picky? It's just a Grade One superbeast, and you want my grandpa to personally take action?"
"Grade One superbeast?" Meng Chao was stunned, and his expression turned strange.
Ning Xueshi frowned. "Don't tell me that you don't even know about Seven-eyed Wolf Spiders? If that's the case, there's no need for you to cause trouble for us. You won't understand it, so stop wasting time."
Meng Chao could only watch as the superbeast died. He could only brace himself and say, "I know that it was originally a Seven-eyed Dragon Wolf Spider, but it's no longer one. Right now, it's a Seven-eyed Dragon Wolf Spider that's in the midst of evolution. It's stuck between Grade One and Grade Two.
"Although it still maintains the form of a Seven-eyed Tarantula on the outside, many of its internal organs have begun to mutate. The new organs are very fragile and are even more difficult to deal with than the mature 'Seven-eyed Dragon Wolf Spider'."
"What?"
Ning Xueshi was dumbfounded. An evolving superbeast?
The girl turned her head and mouthed to her grandfather for help.
The old man fell into deep thought and his expression became solemn.
"Young man, how did you know?"
He stared at Meng Chao with an intense gaze. "I checked it carefully just now, and its appearance hasn't changed at all. You ran all the way here and didn't even look at it. How can you be certain that it's evolving?"
"I can tell."
"This superbeast isn't completely dead yet. Isn't it still shrieking? Although Seven Eyed Wolf Spiders and Seven Eyed Dragon Wolf Spiders are of the same race, there's a difference of a level in the end. Their sharp screams before death are slightly different, so it's not difficult to distinguish them. "
"It's not difficult …"
Ning Xueshi and her grandfather were rendered speechless.
"Who are you trying to fool? Even my grandpa couldn't tell, and you're just an intern. How could you?" Ning Xueshi placed her hands on her hips. Her gaze was wary, as if Meng Chao was a con artist.
However, the old man did not dare to underestimate him. He said cautiously, "I haven't asked …"
"My name is Meng Chao. My family is preparing to open a resource recovery company."
Meng Chao did not let go of any chance to expand his network, so he bowed to the grandfather-granddaughter duo.
The harvester's etiquette was meticulous and very standard.
The old man gained some confidence in him. He nodded slightly and said in a reserved manner, "I'm Ning Shewo."
"…"
The two of them stared at each other. Three seconds later, Meng Chao came to a realization, and he slapped his head. "So, it's Senior Ning. Your reputation precedes you, and I've heard about you for a long time."
"Enough with that. You've never heard of my grandfather's name before, right? You don't even know White-haired Ghostly Hands Ning Shewo. What sort of harvester are you? How could you tell that a Seven-eyed Wolf Spider and a Seven-eyed Dragon Wolf Spider's howls are different? What a joke! "Ning Xueshi was angry.
"Xueshi, keep quiet."
Ning Shewo's self-restraint was pretty good. "My young friend, your hearing is top-notch, and you've broadened my horizons. I wonder who your master is …"
"I'm self-taught. I've been a harvester for decades," Meng Chao said honestly.
The old man took a deep breath.
"What's the phone number of your company leader?" he asked kindly.
Meng Chao obediently shut up.
He took two steps back, squatted down on the ground, and gestured, "I won't say anymore. Please start your performance."
Ning Xueshi was so angry that she was about to explode. She swore that she would teach the brat a lesson later.
But now, the Seven-eyed Wolf Spider's last bit of life was swiftly slipping away. She had to race against time to harvest the freshest material.
The girl got rid of all distracting thoughts and treated Meng Chao as if he did not exist.
Just when she was about to do it, Ning Shewo suddenly went forward.
"Let me do it."
"Grandpa?"
"I'll open the shell first and suck away all the adhesive liquid to take a look. If the organs haven't mutated, you can take over."
Ning Xueshi stomped on the ground. She was so angry that the world spun.
Ning Shewo held a scalpel with both hands and moved with familiar ease.
However, as his fingers trembled slightly, the tips of the scalpel also trembled slightly.
"So, Elder Ning is injured," Meng Chao mumbled. "No wonder."
His words lit up the firecracker. Ning Xueshi rushed in front of him like a whirlwind and scowled. "Do you know the rules? How can you speak carelessly at a time like this?"
Meng Chao's face turned red. When harvesters performed meticulous tasks, they were most afraid of being interrupted. He had indeed broken the rules, and he should not have done so.
He thought about it and felt that even though the girl's temper was a little bad, the old man was a good person, and he was worth helping.
"Ms. Ning, could you let me take a look at your tools? I need nine of the thinnest ox hair probes and three of the softest coiled needles." Meng Chao lowered his voice. "By the way, do you have three hundred thousand in cash in your account?"
Ning Xueshi was puzzled.
"It's like this. Seven-eyed Dragon Wolf Spider larvae are in the midst of evolution, and their structures are too weak. It's especially so for the newly born poison sac. The sac membrane is as thin as a cicada's wings, and with the slightest touch, it will break. The poison will flow all over its stomach, and all the materials will be ruined," Meng Chao explained with a sincere expression.
"Elder Ning must have a problem with his nerves. He might not be able to complete the entire operation on his own. That's why he's familiarizing himself with your tools and sharpening his skills before the battle."
His explanation added fuel to the fire. Ning Xueshi was so angry that she gritted her teeth. "Even if Grandpa is injured, he's still a White-haired Ghostly Hands. How can a mere Seven-eyed Wolf Spider stop him? Besides, I'm still here. Why should I ask you to take action? Wait, three hundred thousand in cash? What's that? "
"Naturally, it's the fee for asking me to take action."
Meng Chao counted with his fingers. "With the old man's current condition, the harvested goods will definitely not be in good condition. If you add them together, they'll only be worth three hundred thousand to five hundred thousand. But with my help, with my experience and the old man's skills, we should be able to perfectly extract the most valuable poison sac." The poison sac alone can be sold for more than five hundred thousand. If all the materials are added together, they'll be worth nearly two million.
"There's a difference of more than one million in this. Since I'm still an intern, and I'm an assistant, it's fate that we got to know each other. I'll give you a discount and only take three hundred thousand. Consider it my contribution to society."
Ning Xueshi stared at Meng Chao dumbfounded.
After a moment, she sucked in a deep breath and was about to explode.
Suddenly, she heard her grandfather's voice tremble, which was a rare sight. "Xueshi, come here."
The girl quickly returned to her grandfather's side.
In just a few minutes, her grandfather looked as if he had aged by five years. His white hair had lost its vigor. Wisps of it fell down and stuck to his forehead, which was drenched in cold sweat.
Ning Xueshi looked in the direction of the old man's rather unfocused gaze. She saw hideous organs inside the Seven-eyed Wolf Spider's opened shell. They looked like deformed tumors that released a pungent smell.
With just one glance, the remaining anger froze on her face. The girl cried out, "Those organs aren't right! This isn't a Seven-eyed Wolf Spider!"
"It's indeed not a Seven-eyed Wolf Spider. It's an incredibly rare Seven-eyed Dragon Wolf Spider that's currently evolving." Ning Shewo smiled wryly with a dejected expression.
The carcass of a low-grade superbeast that had not even reached Grade Two was worth a few million, but Ning Shewo did not care about it.
When his nerves were in perfect condition, he could activate his supernatural ability and use his naked eyes to see through the distribution and structure of its organs.
But now, he was being bullied by dogs. He did not expect that the mighty White-haired Ghostly Hands would be defeated by this thing.
Ning Xueshi opened her mouth. Suddenly, she remembered Meng Chao's words, and shock appeared on her face.
At that moment, Meng Chao arrived behind the grandfather-granddaughter duo and tiptoed to look into the Seven-eyed Dragon Wolf Spider's abdomen.
He remembered the rules of the harvesters.
Even when Ning Xueshi turned her head around to look at him, he still did not say a word. Instead, he pursed his lips.
Ning Xueshi felt gloomy for a long time before she gritted her teeth and said, "Boy, please tell me."
"It's alright," Meng Chao said.
"What do you mean by alright?" Ning Xueshi widened her eyes.
"It's that this Seven-eyed Dragon Wolf Spider's evolution is alright. It's very common, and it didn't go through any sort of strange super mutation." Meng Chao sighed in relief.
'Very common …'
The grandfather-granddaughter duo were dumbfounded.
Hundreds of thoughts raced in Ning Xueshi's head, and she asked in disbelief, "Y-You can really help me harvest it for only three hundred thousand?"
"Five hundred thousand!"
Ning Shewo stared at Meng Chao. "Boy, if you can really help me, you don't need to do it perfectly. As long as you follow the rules and maintain 70% of the poison in the poison sac, I'll immediately transfer five hundred thousand to you!"
Meng Chao whistled, and he could not help but curl up a little.
"I'm not a superhuman yet. My strength and senses are only average, so I can't harvest superbeasts directly. I can only —"
Meng Chao originally wanted to say "I can only help you complete your homework", but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them and changed them to "I can only be your assistant."
"Then, you can be my first assistant. You can deliver the equipment, spray the disinfectant, expose the cut surface, mark the cut, and monitor the degree of decay in the organs. My granddaughter can be your second assistant, okay?"
"Sure."
Meng Chao nodded. He squeezed out a disinfectant gel from his waist bag and spread it on his hands. Then, he switched to spray mode and sprayed himself from head to toe. Then, he stood at the assistant spot to Ning Shewo's right.
Ning Shewo focused and said, "Number 3 —"
Before he could finish speaking, Number 4 hilt and Number 7 diamond-shaped blade were delivered to him.
Ning Shewo frowned a little.
The boy had a lot of theoretical knowledge, but he did not expect that he would give him the wrong equipment. Was he just a boastful person?
"I know that you want to use Number 3 hilt and Number 12 pincer blade to remove the book lungs first. Regardless of whether it's a Seven-eyed Wolf Spider or a mature Seven-eyed Dragon Wolf Spider, this is a classic operation that is absolutely correct." But this is a mutant that's currently evolving, and its sac-like book lungs have a lot of leaf-shaped folds. Look closely. The structure is very fragile, and it's connected to the surroundings. If you act recklessly, you might damage the product. "
