BXBX NOVEL Chapter 21 - 21: Chaos with Medicine! I say Snake Gallbladder, You Say Medicine!
Before the group of men lay several gigantic thermoboxes.
Creme and pitch snakes entwined around each other, vertical pupils gave a darker impression, equipped with pointed hastily grown tusks at the corner of their mouths.
Director Zhu explained, “These are the Bosque Serpents, trained by the newest animal trainer in the Professionist Guild, Master Yang Qu. They count is quite rare.”
“Initially, a Bosque serpent was a one-star beast, but after being domesticated by Master Yang Qu and crossbred with other domesticated snakes, they evolved into this massive creature with fewer threats.”
“But, for the average butcher, the Bosque serpent is dangerous.”
“Its blood contains extreme levels of poison, enough to make a common man faint just by smelling it.”
“However, its meat is delicious and brimming with abundant spirit energy. It is very popular among the wealthy, and hence, very expensive.”
“Only professional butchers can afford to handle them…”
Zheng Cheng interjected with a nod, “Then who usually butchers them?”
“The few professional butchers in the factory.” Director Zhu replied, “However, they do it rarely to avoid intoxication from snake venom.”
“I see…”
Zheng Cheng’s eyes brightened as he said, “Director Zhu, I would like to attempt butchering one of the Bosque Serpent. Is that okay?”
Director Zhu was overjoyed, “Really?”
“Many thanks to you, Zheng! Quick, bring out a Bosque Serpent!”
The operator hurriedly started the machine and lured a single Bosque Serpent out of their thermobox.
?Another operator aimed an electronic tranquilizer gun and fired it at the Bosque Serpent.
Zheng Cheng noticed that the tranquilizer used for the Bosque Serpent was different from the regular ones.
The standard tranquilizer used for domesticated animals and livestock was a transparent compound.
However, the one used for the Bosque Serpent was light green!
Suddenly,
The Bosque Serpent began to toss its massive head around and then it quickly collapsed and remained still.
Only then, was Zheng Cheng provided his first opportunity to fully inspect a Bosque Serpent.
With a length of over ten meters, it towered at three to four stories high.
It had a diameter of one square meter, covered in black and yellow patterns that made it look ferocious.
He put on his gas mask and confidently strode into the designated slaughter field.
Carrying his alloy long blade, without any hesitation, he thrust it down!
The illusionary surgical blade glimmered, completely encapsulating the Bosque Serpent within its shadow.
A few moments later, a large amount of fresh blood spurted from the body of the Bosque Serpent.
The meat of the Bosque Serpent was instantly separated under the force and was spread across the ground in large chunks.
Zheng Cheng was left holding a piece of green meat the size of a goose egg in his hands.
It felt icy and cool to the touch.
[Skills Activated Successfully!]
[You’ve obtained the ingredient: Bosque Serpent’s Gallbladder.]
[Item: Bosque Serpent’s Gallbladder]
[Quality: one-star]
[Effect: Consumption leads to a permanent 1-point Spirit increase, limit of 20. Simultaneously, a permanent 1% increase in poison resistance.]
[Remarks: Mush mush, does it not feel great? I said gallbladder, you said—medicine! Gallbladder, medicine! Medicine Medicine Medicine, Gallbladder Gallbladder Gallbladder!]
Upon seeing the description of the Bosque Serpent’s Gallbladder, Zheng Cheng’s mouth unknowingly twitched.
But, this is what he wanted!
Permanently increase Spirit!
The higher his Spirit, the more he can use his skills.
He wouldn’t have to drink a bottle of Clarity Potion every time he casts 10 skills.
On top of that, the Bosque Serpent’s gallbladder even can improve one’s resistance to poison.
Although it’s just 1%, it’s already splendid.
“Limited to twenty, which means a total of 20 Spirit points and 20% poison resistance!”
He then raised his hand and said, “Director Zhu, I want this gallbladder as well!”
“Huh?”
Director Zhu looked a bit conflicted, saying, “That might be a bit difficult.”
“What, someone else asked for it?”
It’s from the Alchemist Guild,” Director Zhu explained. “All pharmaceutically valuable items like ox gallstones, snake galls, etc. from our slaughterhouse have been ordered by the Alchemist Guild.”
“There’s a fixed output every month, it’s one of our major customers…”
“I’ll pay more.”
“Deal!”
In the next half day, Zheng Cheng stayed in the Pusica snake workshop, slaughtering all these Pusica snakes!
What a pity.
There were only more than thirty Pusica snakes in the entire Pusica snake workshop.
He spent the whole afternoon here, and after butchering all the Pusica snakes, he only got nine Pusica snake galls!
“Director Zhu, do you have any more Pusica snakes?”
Looking at the chunks of Pusica snake meat all over the ground, Director Zhu’s mouth hung open.
What a joke.
These over thirty Pusica snakes were their supply for a whole month.
Zheng Cheng finished them all within an afternoon?
He is a born butcher!
He shook his head, shrugged off this unrealistic thought, and said,
“The supply of Pusica snakes is very limited each month, but we may be able to transfer some from other slaughterhouses…”
“How long would it take?”
“Tomorrow afternoon.”
“Okay, I’ll be back tomorrow…”
When he got home, Zheng Cheng put all nine Pusica snake galls in the steamer.
While he was waiting, his cell phone suddenly ‘beeped’.
He picked it up and it was a notice that class adviser Gao Yang had invited him into a group chat.
There were only a little over a hundred people in the entire chat group.
Other than four or five teachers, the rest were all Professionists who had awakened from this year’s twelfth middle school!
Out of over a thousand senior students in the twelfth middle school, only 113 students had awakened as Professionists!
Zheng Cheng noticed Chen Xiao, Cai Kun and Yao Zhixue were all in the chat.
Yang Shenli (principal) :”Students, first of all, congratulations on awakening successfully, becoming honorable Professionists!”
“After endless efforts by the school, we finally secured the rights to a trial dungeon.”
“Here, I’d like to give a big shout out to our student Yao Zhixue!”
After some explanation, Zheng Cheng learned that.
Apparently, every year after novice Professionists successfully awaken, they have a month to familiarize and practice their skills.
The school then organizes students to visit some low-level monster areas in the wild for monster hunting, leveling and training.
This year, due to Yao Zhixue, a nine-star Professionist.
The Chang’an City Professional Education Bureau actually offered them an opportunity to a trial dungeon!
Dungeon!
It’s a small world completely different from the wild, where monsters will keep spawning and resetting according to the world’s rules.
Compared to the wilderness, the trial in a dungeon is undoubtedly safer and more convenient.
At least, you don’t need to trek through mountains and rivers to the wilderness, and then painstakingly search for monsters.
Yang Shenli (Principal): “I’ll give you one more day to prepare, the day after tomorrow, all the new Professionists gather at the school, teachers will lead you to the Trial Dungeon for trials!”
Yang Shenli(Principal): “Before entering the Trial Dungeon, I hope students can team up according to their professions, with five in a small team, which should include attack, defense, support, and healing professions, to challenge the dungeon together!”
Yang Shenli(Principal): “The difficulty of the dungeon is divided into normal, hard, nightmare, and hell. The experience and rewards for challenging different difficulty dungeons are also different.”
Yang Shenli(Principal): “I hope you guys will take this seriously, cherish this opportunity to challenge a dungeon!”
“All mute restrictions lifted.”
