From Beggar to Emperor: My Profession Has Its Own Characteristics

Chapter 69 The Characteristics of the Butcher Profession (Part Two)

December 27th.

In three days it will be the new year.

Zhu Yuan calculated the time; it had been almost half a year since he transmigrated here.

Zhu Yuan remembers the day he transmigrated very clearly: it was the third day of the seventh lunar month.

Early this morning, Zhu Yuan went to Zhao Dazhu's house.

The coldest period is basically over now, and there is almost no chance of snowfall in the area where Qingyang County is located.

Unlike in the past, Zhu Yuan was quite excited today.

Occupation: Butcher Level: Lv2 (989/1000)

Because he only needs eleven more experience points to level up his Butcher class, and once he reaches level three, he will be able to unlock the Butcher's second trait.

His body will change with each unlocked class trait.

Even without considering the impact of the changes, the warmth generated by those changes alone is very comforting.

"Iron Pillar".

Zhu Yuan saw Zhao Tiezhu standing at the entrance of the butcher shop, craning his neck to look around. He habitually waved to him and smiled.

Every time he came to Zhao Dazhu's house to slaughter a pig, Zhao Tiezhu would always come out to meet him first.

Wait a minute, Zhao Tiezhu will help hold the pig down, and only after he kills the pig will Zhao Tiezhu head to the martial arts school.

"Zhu Yuan!"

Upon hearing the sound, Zhao Tiezhu immediately grinned, a big smile spreading across his face, and quickly stepped forward to greet him.

He walked up to Zhu Yuan and eagerly told him some good news, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement: "I mastered the walking technique last night!"

"Now you've achieved complete mastery!" Zhu Yuan's face lit up with genuine joy upon hearing this.

"That's right!"

Zhao Tiezhu nodded vigorously, his honest face filled with pride, and he even subconsciously puffed out his chest.

"Wait, Tiezhu." Zhu Yuan suddenly remembered something and asked with some concern, "You mean last night?"

'

"That's right." Zhao Tiezhu scratched the back of his head. "Yesterday I wanted to push myself a bit. Senior Brother Zhou also said that occasionally exceeding the training limit once in a while shouldn't be a problem for the body."

Influenced by Zhu Yuan's diligent martial arts training, Zhao Tiezhu's training has become increasingly intense. He trains to his physical limit almost every day, and yesterday he clearly trained beyond his limits.

"Well, it's good that you're alright." Hearing this, Zhu Yuan didn't ask any more questions. He simply looked Zhao Tiezhu over carefully again, and seeing that his complexion was rosy, he didn't seem to be in any danger. So, a smile returned to Zhu Yuan's face. "Congratulations!"

"What techniques do you plan to learn from Senior Brother Zhou today?"

"I'll start by learning the basic boxing techniques," Zhao Tiezhu replied without hesitation.

"Your basic boxing technique is good." Zhu Yuan nodded in agreement. "Moreover, this is a technique that Senior Brother Zhou is good at, so you can get better guidance from him."

He had already mastered the basic sword techniques he was practicing five days ago.

Techniques are also divided into four levels: beginner, minor mastery, major mastery, and perfection.

The entry level of a technique is simply knowing it; the minor level is being able to use it normally in actual combat; the major level is using it very skillfully and flexibly; and the final level of perfection is completely mastering the technique.

Getting started with basic techniques isn't difficult, and achieving minor or major mastery is manageable, but the truly challenging level is perfection.

Zhu Yuan and Zhao Tiezhu chatted and walked, and soon entered the backyard.

"Uncle Zhao."

Zhu Yuan walked into the backyard and respectfully greeted Zhao Dazhu, who was inspecting the knives on the cutting board.

"Yes, I'm here." Zhao Dazhu looked up at the sound, saw Zhu Yuan, and nodded.

He then turned to look at Zhao Tiezhu beside him and pointed with his chin toward the pigsty.

"Then let's start slaughtering the pig."

Zhao Dazhu and his son Zhao Tiezhu sprang into action, heading towards the pigsty in perfect unison.

At the same time, Zhu Yuan had already walked to the chopping board with ease, stretched out his right hand, and steadily picked up the pig-slaughtering knife.

Holding the hilt, it still felt familiar.

He slightly adjusted his grip on the knife, calmly looking towards the pigpen, waiting.

Not long after, a sharp scream came from the pigsty.

Soon, Zhao Dazhu and his son Zhao Tiezhu worked together to get a medium-sized pig out of the pigpen, firmly controlled it, and dragged it to the large wooden chopping board.

At this moment, Zhu Yuan did not hesitate at all.

As usual, he stabbed the pig cleanly and swiftly, killing it instantly.

It reduced the pigs' suffering considerably.

This moment.

Zhu Yuan felt a warm sensation spreading through his eyes, nourishing them.

Eyes again?

Without much hesitation, Zhu Yuan closed his eyes to check the situation.

Occupation: Butcher Level: Lv3 (2/2000)

Feature 1: Butcher's Hand (White)

Feature Two: Eye of Dissection (White)

Feature 3: Unlocked at Lv5 (Blue)

[You are preparing to slaughter a pig. Kill the pig cleanly and efficiently, without any hesitation. Professional experience +15.]

[Congratulations! Your job level has been raised to Lv3. You're now a seasoned killer! You've unlocked job trait two: Eye of Dissection (white).]

Eye of Dissection (White): [As a butcher, your long-term experience gives you an intimate understanding of animal anatomy, allowing you to dissect carcasses more efficiently. You can also better dismember animals alive if you wish.]

With just eleven experience points, he can level up his Butcher rank; the extra four experience points will be converted into two experience points for level three.

Zhu Yuan focused on the details of unlocking the Butcher's second profession trait, specifically the information about dismembering animals while they are alive.

Zhu Yuan, lost in thought, stopped thinking about it and decided to finish slaughtering the pig first.

Closing your eyes briefly is fine, it's okay to use it as a way to adjust yourself, but if you keep your eyes closed, people will think you're thinking about something else.

"Zhu Yuan, I'm going to the martial arts gym now."

"Okay, I'll be there later."

The same thing as before remains unchanged; the bulk of the pig slaughtering is still handled by Zhu Yuan.

[You begin scraping pig bristles with a scraper, completing the task alone. The bristles are removed very cleanly. Job Experience +2.]

[You focused intently on dismembering the pig's carcass, extracting pork ribs. The dismemberment was quick and efficient, earning +3 to your professional experience.]

Zhu Yuan sped up his work in disposing of the pig carcass compared to before.

Once the Butcher's second class trait is unlocked, he can do these things with ease.

He had done very well before, but he was slow.

He was very careful in handling the pig carcasses, because that way he could gain more experience.

Zhao Dazhu waited until Zhu Yuan finished dealing with everything before speaking.

"Zhu Yuan, you handled it very quickly today."

"Uncle Zhao, this is called practice makes perfect." Zhu Yuan explained while wiping his hands with his apron. "With enough experience, I need to speed things up, otherwise I'll take up more of your time each time."

Zhao Dazhu thought for a moment, then said, "With your speed in processing things, you could totally work at a slaughterhouse."
