In middle age, one's comprehension becomes extraordinary.

If it weren't for that crisis just now, I probably wouldn't have used this sixth talent in the "Skills" category.

Since you've already made your choice, there's no point in regretting it.

Based on my own experience, the talent of "being skillful" is not that bad.

For martial artists, talent, resources, and insights are the three factors that work together to help them improve.

This talent in the "Craftsmanship" tree can definitely help me acquire resources.

Having "skillful hands" leads to a transformative improvement in hand dexterity.

Using it for unlocking is a very low-value application.

Even more advanced methods would involve dissecting the corpses of ferocious beasts.

Ferocious beasts possess many treasures; the more powerful the beast, the more useful things it contains.

S-class ferocious beasts, from their fur to their bones, are all valuable resources.

It can be used to craft armor and weapons.

But the more powerful the beast, the more difficult it is to dissect it.

The powerful beasts have amazing defenses, so dissecting them requires a lot of effort.

The more force you use, the more difficult it is to control precisely.

This is not hard to understand; the same applies to the control of force and speed.

When a vehicle is speeding, it becomes more difficult to control the precision of its turns.

He was given the talent of "dexterity", which allowed him to control his strength precisely even when exerting great power.

With such ability, one can dissect and obtain resources.

At least 40% of the value of the carcass of an A-level ferocious beast must be paid to the anatomist.

Risking one's life to kill a ferocious beast would result in the anatomist taking away most of the profits.

We have to hire an anatomist.

Except for a small number of ferocious beasts that do not have venom glands, most of them do.

If the venom glands rupture and become damaged, they will contaminate the entire carcass of the ferocious beast.

In the end, it won't just be a matter of paying 40% of the fee; it will be a complete waste.

With such hand control, Li Yuan could completely dissect and remove the poison glands himself.

During the following period, Sunset Mountain Camp reduced the number of missions assigned.

The martial artists who came to provide support were mostly assigned to guard duties.

Nine out of ten patrol missions have been suspended.

The current situation is far too dangerous.

The camp didn't want anyone to sacrifice their life in vain, just to lose it outside.

Li Yuan and Kang Yong's team had already completed their support mission.

Therefore, the stationing mission will not be mandatory for the time being.

But the other martial artists who came to help would have to take on more missions.

Over the past few days, Xia Yao invited Li Yuan to discuss martial arts with him.

Every conversation with Li Yuan was rewarding.

It felt like discussing martial arts with an elder, as if I were receiving guidance.

Xia Yao found it hard to believe that her interaction with Li Yuan would feel like this.

But there's one thing about this that she finds very uncomfortable.

Even in front of her, Li Yuan acted like an elder, taking care of her, the younger generation.

Xia Yao actually disliked this behavior.

She even brought it up in front of Li Yuan.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan simply smiled and said that he was much older than her.

Li Yuan never said anything like he would treat her like a younger sister; Xia Yao was a junior member of the Xia family.

Not just anyone can be someone's older brother because of their status and position.

Many people also reject this point.

On the tenth day after this incident, Sunset Mountain Camp allowed all the martial artists who had come to provide support to return home.

The current crisis is not something that the support warriors can handle.

Kang Yong and the others had actually wanted to go back for a long time.

Not only did they come here for training without getting injured, but they also received commendation.

To be honest, they were very satisfied with the outcome of this experience.

Li Yuan didn't stay either; he packed up with the others and set off on their return journey.

I called home in advance.

It was already 8 p.m. when I got home.

But neither of my parents ate; they just prepared the food and waited for me.

The family sat at the table, eating food that had been reheated.

The news about the Sunset Mountain campsite didn't spread at all.

Lingshan City remains as peaceful and tranquil as ever.

After returning, Li Yuan checked the online comments again and found that no one mentioned the hundreds of rock bear demons.

It seems that this secrecy plan was quite successful.

When his parents asked about the "business trip," Li Yuan made up some stories to answer.

Whenever he mentioned any training or experience, Li Yuan would say it was a business trip.

It involves exchanges with other schools.

They don't understand the specific situation, can't offer any help, and will only look worried all the time.

When the time comes, I, as someone who has gone out to gain experience, will have to spare some energy to take care of their safety.

After dinner, Li Yuan made a phone call to Director Zeng.

Hearing that Li Yuan had returned after completing his mission, Director Zeng felt much relieved.

After a brief exchange of questions, the two began to discuss business.

The so-called "serious business" naturally refers to matters related to teaching.

"Don't worry too much about the first semester; the higher-ups won't assess you based on the semester."

However, the exams during the academic year, including the college entrance examination, must be taken seriously.

I heard that Principal Yin has been looking into your issues, so you should be careful.

He's been a principal for so many years, he must have his own network of connections.

Your performance in the Qingwu Competition can't protect you forever.

"You need to achieve something more before I can help you advance further."

Director Zeng didn't ask any questions about this experience on the southern border.

It's a miracle if you can come back safely after this ordeal.

Unlike the Qingwu Tournament, where you can get so much nutrient solution.

How good is a training opportunity that nobody wants?

After a night's rest, Li Yuan returned to work as usual the next day.

I actually have eight days left on this leave for the training program.

But Li Yuan felt he had rested enough, so he didn't waste any more time.

Upon returning to Lingshan No.1 Middle School, the first thing to do was check Jin Fan's attendance.

Jin Fan didn't expect Li Yuan to come back today; he arrived leisurely around noon.

Upon seeing that he had been recorded by Li Yuan again, Jin Fan immediately ran to Principal Yin's office.

All of these attendance records were recorded by Li Yuan in his file.

Even if Li Yuan later had an accident, died or became disabled, and was unable to continue working.

The effects on him, however, have already been done.

"Can't you follow the rules for once these days?"

The trials at Shifeng River are about to begin. Once that matter is over, all your worries will be resolved.

Now, Principal Yin is starting to find Jin Fan somewhat annoying.

This disciple of the grandmaster is really not dedicated to teaching.

"In addition, I am indeed making arrangements on my side."

For a short period of time, some power will be taken back from Li Yuan.

The provincial authorities also said that his jurisdiction as the director of the teaching and research office was too broad.

Previously, Zeng Chang directly stopped me, but this time, some of the city's education officials supported my opinion.

As soon as Principal Yin finished speaking, the phone on his desk rang.

"Principal, the mayor has arrived with a delegation!"

"Which mayor? The mayor of Lingshan City?"

Principal Yin was still a little confused. Although Lingshan No.1 Middle School was a key municipal school, it was not enough to warrant the mayor's attention.

The other end of the phone quickly relayed another message.

Upon hearing the contents, Principal Yin was even more bewildered:

"Send a plaque?"

Second-class merit plaque

"What second-class merit?"
