From Beggar to Emperor: My Profession Has Its Own Characteristics

Chapter 74 Experience Gain

"no problem."

Upon hearing this, Steward Ji immediately agreed.

He had great confidence in Zhu Yuan's abilities.

Zhu Yuan's skill in butchering livestock had already been verified on the very first day Zhu Yuan arrived.

Zhu Yuan did not encounter any problems during the next two days of work.

Now other managers have come to ask him where he found this treasure, Zhu Yuan.

Shortly after the mutated and demonized pigs were dealt with, the slaughterhouse returned to its usual busy and orderly state, with everyone continuing with their work as usual.

Zhu Yuan steadied himself and continued slaughtering the livestock, his movements still swift and efficient.

After completing this task, the worthless pig demon, whose hair had been shaved and blood drained, was waiting for him to process it on the chopping board.

At this moment, Steward Ji had not left, but stood aside, with Zi Guang staring intently at the chopping board, as if he would not feel at ease until he finished dealing with the pig demon.

"Manager Ji, is there anything I should be careful about?" Before making a move, Zhu Yuan stopped and turned to look at Manager Ji beside him.

"Zhu Yuan, you'll have to improvise on your own; I can't teach you anything," Manager Ji explained to Zhu Yuan, his tone tinged with helplessness. "Ordinary pigs like these, after transforming into pig demons, have completely different physical structures. There are even more examples at the Taiping Prefecture's slaughterhouse, but the conclusion is what I just said."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuan nodded thoughtfully.

This means that the transformation into a demon is highly random and there is no fixed processing template.

At this moment, in his eyes, the bone and muscle textures of this worthless pig demon corpse were still blurry and indistinct, far less clear than those of ordinary livestock.

"Don't feel pressured," Manager Ji patted Zhu Yuan on the shoulder to comfort him. "None of us have any experience dealing with the corpses of worthless demons. As long as we handle it properly and can separate out some meat that looks presentable, that's fine."

"Um."

Zhu Yuan responded, took a deep breath to calm himself, and then picked up the sharp knife to begin the treatment.

Compared to ordinary pigs, the corpses of mutated, useless pig demons are worth far more.

The meat of this worthless pig demon contains even more energy, something that ordinary people like him simply cannot afford to eat on a daily basis.

Zhu Yuan knew that with his butcher's skills, he could have handled the pig demon's corpse much better, but at this moment, he couldn't show off too much.

After a moment's thought, he began to process it roughly, being more cautious than usual and even deliberately slowing down in certain steps.

This approach will result in him gaining less butcher experience, but it's more in line with his expected performance.

Time passed little by little.

Zhu Yuan disposed of the pig demon's corpse as he had planned.

The pieces of meat on the cutting board were neatly categorized and looked good overall, but upon closer inspection, some of the cutting marks and the separation of meat from bones were not up to standard.

"Zhu Yuan, well done!"

Manager Ji carefully examined the results of Zhu Yuan's work and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.

"This is already very good; the price these pork pieces can fetch will be even better in the future."

"That's good." Zhu Yuan nodded, a smile appearing on his face.

"If I were to handle this," Ji Guanshi said frankly, his tone tinged with emotion, "Leaving aside whether I could handle it the same way you did, just in terms of time alone, I would have taken at least three times as long as you."

After ordinary livestock undergo mutations, the difficulty of disposing of the carcass does indeed increase significantly, and Zhu Yuan's ability to do this far has already exceeded his expectations.

A morning passed quickly.

While waiting to receive his wages, Zhu Yuan glanced at the butcher profession experience he had gained that morning.

When dealing with that good-for-nothing pig demon, the experience gained was only slightly more than three times that of an ordinary pig, due to the rough handling.

It's not possible to go back and forth.

This morning, I gained over 400 Butcher experience points, reaching 416.

Occupation: Butcher Level: Lv3 (1265/2000)

I'm now only 735 experience points away from leveling up my Butcher class to level four.

"Zhu Yuan, here is your wages for today."

When Manager Ji approached Zhu Yuan, he took out his wages from his pocket and gave Zhu Yuan three strings of copper coins.

Three strings of copper coins equal three hundred cash.

His normal wage for half a day was 150 coins, which was 50% more than that of a normal long-term laborer or butcher.

"You killed that worthless pig demon today, and you did a good job dissecting the corpse. The extra 150 coins is a reward I specially applied for for you," Manager Ji explained as he handed over the money.

"Thank you, Steward Ji." Zhu Yuan said with a grateful smile.

He didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the copper coins directly.

"Yes, go back and have a good New Year."

Manager Ji looked at him with a smile on his face and gave him a final word of advice.

"Here's a wish for a Happy New Year in advance, Manager Ji."

Zhu Yuan said his final goodbye, put away the copper coins, and left the slaughterhouse.

He needs to rush to Dongyun Martial Arts School for lunch, and then he will concentrate on training there in the afternoon.

After finishing my training at the Dongyun Martial Arts School, I returned home.

Instead of returning to his residence on Hualin Street, Zhu Yuan turned briskly towards Qingshui Street.

He had already planned to have dinner at his mother-in-law's house on New Year's Eve.

There were only three people: him, the old woman, and the old beggar.

Judging by the time, the old beggar has been living here for fifty days.

Zhu Yuan, who occasionally visits them, can sense that the old beggar and the old woman get along really well. They look after each other, which adds a touch of warmth to the small courtyard.

"Zhu Yuan is here, come in quickly."

As Zhu Yuan knocked on the door, it was not the old woman who opened it, but the old beggar.

The old beggar who opened the door saw Zhu Yuan outside and his face immediately lit up with a kind smile.

"Old Liu."

"You've come just in time."

The old beggar stepped aside, his tone tinged with delight, and gestured for him to come in quickly.

Zhu Yuan smiled and nodded, stepped into the familiar courtyard, and casually closed the wooden door behind him.

He followed the old beggar and walked familiarly to the main room where they usually ate.

Inside the house, the old woman had already stood up, supporting herself on the edge of the table. When she saw Zhu Yuan come in, a smile appeared on her wrinkled face.

"Zhu Yuan is here."

"Yes, Mother-in-law."

Zhu Yuan quickly took two steps, came to the table, and nodded to the old woman in greeting.

Tonight's dinner was very sumptuous; several dishes were laid out on the small square table, and the aroma filled the air.

As early as yesterday, Zhu Yuan had already bought a lot of New Year's goods and sent them over.

The meat for the New Year was a gift from Zhao Dazhu; it was a large, glossy piece of pork belly, emitting an enticing aroma.

"Let's eat! Let's eat!"

The old beggar rubbed his hands together, looked at the table full of food, and spoke louder than usual.

"Yes."

Zhu Yuan responded with a smile, sat down next to the table, and picked up his chopsticks.

They are like a family now.

The old woman's smile never stopped all night.

It's been a long time since it's been this lively.
