Ning Shewo was stunned for half a second before he nodded repeatedly. "That's what I was thinking."
A notification popped up in front of Meng Chao's eyes.
[Elite citizen Ning Shewo received your guidance and gained a deeper understanding of the structure of a semi-mature Seven-eyed Dragon Wolf Spider. Increased contribution points by 15.]
'Whoa, look what I got! An elite monster!' Meng Chao was delighted.
Up to this point, he had noticed three types of citizens.
Normal citizens like Chu Feixiong.
Elite citizens like Ning Shewo.
And special citizens like Bai Jiacao.
Since there were normal, elite, and special citizens, were there also Gold citizens, Epic citizens, Immortal citizens, and peak citizens who were half a step into perfection?
'By the way, there will be countless heroes who will appear in Dragon City in the future. Right now, they are all hot-blooded teenagers and ignorant girls. It's a pity that I can't remember their names and faces, or else I could immediately find them and give them some pointers …' Meng Chao's eyes sparkled.
But that was for the future. He had to kill the elite monster in front of him.
In the next ten minutes, Ning Shewo performed the most comfortable harvest he had in the past ten years.
The boy seemed to have crawled into his heart. Every time, before he asked, he would hand over the most suitable equipment.
Twice, what he wanted was different from what the boy gave him. Just as he was about to scold him, he realized that the boy's choice was more appropriate.
The incisions Meng Chao drew were the easiest to cut and the spots where he could remove the poison perfectly.
And when Ning Shewo's nerves were in pain and he instinctively shuddered, Meng Chao would spray the gel in time to assist him and let him rest for a while.
The boy was not an assistant. He was holding a feather and tickling the old man.
'Just which master's disciple is he? With this sort of skill, he should have been famous in the field a long time ago!' Ning Shewo could not understand it.
As his second assistant, Ning Xueshi had nothing to do with him. She could only watch dumbfounded by the side, and her cold arrogance was completely shattered.
Soon, most of the materials were harvested.
Only the poison sac in the deepest part of the abdomen was left.
It was an organ that trembled like tofu. It was covered in nerve cords and blood vessels. Forget about touching it, it looked like it would shatter if someone blew at it.
"Young Meng, if it were you, what method would you use to harvest it?"
When he reached the last step, he saved himself three and a half minutes. He controlled the decay of the organs very well. Ning Shewo sighed a little, and his love for talent grew.
"Start from the bottom. Make the center protrude inward. The fourth dissection of the Seven Dissection Methods Performed in Reverse, Flick Three Consecutive Stars Diagonally." Meng Chao held a curved saber needle that was as thin as a cow's hair and spun it gently. Then, like a feather, he pecked it three times.
This was an advanced skill mentioned in the future version of Basic Harvesting Skill. It was very difficult, and the player had to be at Ultimate Level to have a 10% success rate.
Before becoming a transcendent, normal harvesters could forget about using this move.
Meng Chao did not really understand it, but under the control of his nerves, he put on an act.
"This is —"
Ning Shewo sucked in a sharp breath, and his white hair stood on end.
No one knew the raging waves in his heart.
The "Seven Dissection Methods Performed in Reverse" was an experimental technique jointly developed by some senior figures in the circle. It was known as the "harvesting technique prepared for the next ten years." It was only circulated in a very small circle.
The technique itself was already very high-end, but Meng Chao's fourth dissection was slightly different from the fourth dissection that Ning Shewo was familiar with.
Ning Shewo thought about it carefully, and to his shock, he discovered that Meng Chao's fourth dissection was more accurate and efficient. It could reduce the harvesting time by 5%, and it could largely ensure the integrity and freshness of the materials.
This was the modified version of the fourth dissection!
Someone had actually upgraded the Seven Dissection Methods Performed in Reverse behind the mysterious boy!
'Who is he? Who is his teacher? Just how powerful is the faction of power and research team behind him? '
In an instant, Ning Shewo thought of many things.
At the same time, a notification popped up in Meng Chao's field of vision.
[Elite citizen Ning Shewo has received your guidance. His understanding toward the fourth dissection method of the Seven Dissection Methods Performed in Reverse has become deeper. Increased contribution points by 55.]
'The learning abilities of elite monsters are really strong. I just made a few random gestures, and you already understood it?' Meng Chao was pleased with himself.
He tried his best to capture the fragments of the fourth dissection method of the Seven Dissection Methods Performed in Reverse from his previous life. Then, based on the feeling of his nerves jumping, he made the three consecutive dissection method again.
His movements were naturally inexperienced, clumsy, and even fragmented.
But it contained a spirit that was ahead of the times, and it opened a brand new shining door in front of Ning Shewo's eyes!
The old man saw Meng Chao's intentions, and he said in disbelief, "My young friend, you … your family's elder …"
'If you teach an outsider the ultimate technique that your family spent so much effort to develop, won't you be punished according to the family rules when you go back?'
"I'm sorry, I was joking with you just now. Please forgive me. I have my own difficulties, and I can't tell you who my teacher is."
Since he was an elite monster, he could not use the excuse that he was self-taught. Meng Chao deliberated over his words before he said, "But before I was released to train, my teacher once said that the Seven Dissection Methods Performed in Reverse and monster knowledge are the crystallization of wisdom that Dragon Citizens slowly gathered while they fought for survival.
"We need to exchange our skills, and we're not afraid of exchanging them. If we can perfect the Seven Dissection Methods Performed in Reverse through exchanging knowledge and provide more resources for the warriors and superhumans, Dragon City will have more hope of rising to power. This is a great thing that will bring endless virtue, so why should we keep it to ourselves?"
"Hiss …"
Meng Chao's rich theoretical knowledge and solid basic skills had only caused Ning Shewo to regard him in a higher light.
But now, his enlightening words pushed the old senior's evaluation of the boy to a whole new level.
'This boy can't be more than twenty years old. How can he be so broad-minded?' Ning Shewo's heart trembled.
Ning Xueshi's mind was in a mess.
She had just learned the Seven Dissection Methods Performed in Reverse, so she could not tell what was so profound about Meng Chao. She thought that his hand was just cramping.
But based on her grandfather's expression, she knew that this boy, who was even younger than her, had an unimaginable understanding of the Seven Dissection Methods Performed in Reverse.
What was laughable was that she had mocked him for secretly learning from her. Who would have thought that he had such a great skill, and he did not even try to hide it?
They were of the same age, but there was a difference in their cultivation realms.
The girl's face turned red, but the stubbornness in her bones made her grumble softly. "Then why did you ask me for three hundred thousand?"
"Ms. Ning, we haven't known each other for long, so you might have some misunderstandings about me."
Meng Chao smiled faintly and stared at the bright red moon in the distance. "Honestly, I'm not really interested in money. It's just that I recently made a great wish that I will do my best to contribute to society. To better realize this goal, I thought about forming my own team.
"This three hundred thousand isn't for my personal enjoyment. It's the starting capital for my contribution. It's for Earth's civilization to burn brightly in the Other World and to cast the first torch."
Elder Ning and Ms. Ning's expressions changed.
"Let's not talk about it anymore. Come, I'll hold up the worksheet for the final poison sac. Remove the nerve cord." Meng Chao was still worried about his father, so he sped up.
Ning Shewo nodded. His saber shone, and it was even brighter than before.
The semi-transparent poison sac that looked like a knotweed was easily removed.
It was in perfect condition. Not a single nerve cord or blood vessel was pierced, and not a single drop of poison spilled out. It even beat like a heart.
It was in perfect condition!
Ning Shewo held his breath and put the poison sac into mithril-based stabilizing fluid. Then, he took off his mask and took the secret ointment from his granddaughter to take care of his hands.
He did not look at the perfect poison sac.
Instead, he stared at Meng Chao for a long time with a complicated gaze.
Meng Chao lowered his head and admired the information that popped up in his field of vision.
Being the first assistant and harvesting mutated superbeasts gave him a lot of Skillfulness and contribution points. He was thinking about what skills he should level up or awaken next.
When the old senior saw his expression, he found the boy to be more low-key, level-headed, and humble.
"Xueshi, how much cash do we have left in our accounts?" Ning Shewo suddenly asked.
Ning Xueshi was slightly stunned. "About … eight hundred thousand?"
"Transfer it all to my young friend. Don't keep a single cent," Ning Shewo said.
"Grandpa?" Ning Xueshi was shocked.
"Old man, it's too much. We agreed on five hundred thousand." Meng Chao gulped.
"My young friend, not only can you use the Three Consecutive Diagonal Slashes just now on the Seven-eyed Dragon Wolf Spider's poison sac, you can also use it on nearly one hundred venom-type monsters' poison sacs." You don't bleed much, you're fast, and the probability of poison seeping out is low. Speaking of which, it's worth far more than a few hundred thousand. "But I've been treating my injuries recently, so it's not convenient for me to pay for it. Keep it for now. Once I sell the materials, I'll tell you in detail," Ning Shewo said sincerely.
Meng Chao immediately said, "Since it's a gift from you, as a junior, if I refuse to give it to you, it'll make me look like I'm not free and easy. How about this? I've actually researched the other six dissection methods of the Seven Dissection Methods Performed in Reverse, but I think that you'll need another year and a half to recover from your injuries. Should we continue talking about it another day?"
"My young friend, d-do you know what injury I have?" Ning Shewo suddenly raised his voice.
Meng Chao was stunned. "Just now, I saw your hands tremble periodically once every three to five seconds, and the blood vessels on the back of your hands are protruding slightly. They're dark purple, and there's also black smoke coming out of them." The purple-crowned snake king's poison has invaded your hands' ulnar nerves, radial nerves, and median nerves. It even affected some of your optic nerves, right? "
"Since you can tell that my grandpa is injured, how can you say that he'll recover in a year and a half? This is clearly an incurable disease!" Ning Xueshi sounded like she was about to cry.
"Incurable disease?" Meng Chao was shocked.
Based on the memories from his previous life, this was an injury that harvesters suffered very easily. Even though it was a little troublesome, it was not to the point of despair.
He thought about it for a while. 'Oh, the war hasn't escalated yet, and many of the monsters haven't mutated. The purple-crowned snake king is still a very rare monster.'
Monsters were evolving, and humans were also evolving. When there were more purple-crowned snakes than earthworms, humans would naturally develop all sorts of antidotes and cures.
But based on the memories from his previous life, his current incurable disease might not be incurable.

"This is how it is. Everyone knows how important exposure is for new books, but right now, it's impossible for me to have a lot of recommendation channels. Aside from word of mouth, the new book signing rank is the only channel that has a lot of traffic.
