214 An Unexpected Massacre (Part 1)

When Old Li said this, his expression was calm, as if he had no objection to the radioactive people hunting the souls of normal people.

Seeing Old Li’s matter-of-fact expression, Ning Shi once again felt the cruelty of the Titanium Pole World.

The tens of thousands of years of aristocratic rule had made many people in this world think that the lives of ordinary people were no big deal.

Not only the nobles but many commoners and professionals also had such a concept.

Old Li was a good person, but as a powerful butcher, in his eyes, ordinary people might be no different from red-eyed rabbits waiting to be slaughtered.

Ning Shi also understood that if the Titanium Pole World was divided into good and evil, butchers would definitely belong to the evil side.

The radioactive people were the same.

The two were actually very similar. They both gained power from killing.

The difference was that butchers obtained physical strengthening substances from the physical bodies of living creatures, while radioactive people obtained spiritual strengthening powers from the souls of living creatures.

Seeing that Ning Shi didn’t say anything, Old Li thought he was scared. After all, from Old Li’s perspective, Ning Shi was only an 18-year-old newbie who had just entered the butcher profession.

He had never experienced a bloody and cruel battle.

It was normal to be frightened by the fact that the radioactive people had stolen their souls.

“Don’t worry,” Old Li consoled. “With me around, the radioactive people won’t come to us for trouble.”

Ning Shi didn’t explain and just nodded, asking, “Master, why do the radioactive people want to plunder the souls of normal humans?”

Old Li pondered for a moment and said, “The radioactive people’s cultivation is based on the helium energy radiation element. As you said earlier, the radioactive people need helium ore.

“However, after the battle of the two cities, 80% of the area on the origin planet has a strong radiation element, which we call the radiation zone.

“To us normal people, the radiation zone is a dangerous place, but to the radiation creatures and radioactive people, it is heaven.

“After the big explosion, even the air in the radiation zones is filled with radioactive elements. The radioactive people simply can’t absorb all of them, so they don’t have much demand for helium ore.

“Moreover, the radioactive people can also mine helium ores in the radiation zones. Because 80% of the area of the origin planet is in the radiation zones, the radioactive people can mine more helium ores than us normal humans.

“The nobles of our major cities, including the Archon of the Norse Republic, have privately made transactions with the radioactive people with helium ores. It was the wealth brought by the helium ore transactions that allowed the radioactive people to build an extremely rich New Star City in a very short time.”

Hearing Old Li’s words, Ning Shi immediately understood. Since the radioactive people did not lack radiation elements or helium energy mines, there was only one reason that restricted them from becoming stronger.

The speed of absorbing radiation elements.

Old Li saw Ning Shi’s look of sudden realization and smiled.

“Xiao Ning, you’re really smart. It seems like you’ve already guessed the reason why the radioactive people plunder souls.”

“Radioactive people can absorb souls to increase the speed of their absorption of radiation elements, right?” Ning Shi asked.

“That’s right, after thousands of years of development, the radioactive people have already gotten rid of the crude method of absorbing the radiation elements and gradually explored all kinds of cultivation methods to absorb the radiation elements.

“Different cultivation techniques bring about different abilities after absorbing the radiation elements.

“However, no matter what technique it is, the first step for radioactive people is to learn how to absorb the souls of living beings and strengthen their own souls.

“Because the strength of the soul determines the speed at which the radioactive people absorb the radiation elements as well as the strength of the radiation elements that they can use.”

At this point, Old Li stopped and began to deal with the red-eyed rabbit.

Ning Shi didn’t say anything. He knew that it was extremely difficult to absorb souls. There were probably many restrictions. Old Li didn’t want to talk about it, but he would find out himself in the future.

Ning Shi felt a sense of absurdity in his heart. When the radioactive people first appeared, they wanted to live with normal humans, but the ruling class of humans wanted to kill them.

When the radioactive people showed their bloodthirsty side and began to devour the souls of normal humans, the higher-ups of the human race were willing to make a deal with them.

Everything was decided by power.

Thinking of this, Ning Shi couldn’t help speeding up the speed of his knife, and a red-eyed rabbit was slaughtered.

[ Killed a hare. Gained 2 experience points. ]

…

[ Killed a hare. Gained 2 experience points. ]

After Ning Shi’s Spiritual Power had improved, his perception had become stronger, and his ability to find flaws had also become stronger. His killing speed had soared again.

At around 7 o’clock in the evening, Ning Shi had killed 1500 red-eyed rabbits today and gained a total of 3000 experience points.

He upgraded his butcher profession to Tier 10 (1000/3000), and his physique was increased to 19 points.

The skill point was directly added to his biochemical technique, which was upgraded to Tier 2.

Ning Shi felt that he had more experience and intuition in his mind, and he had a clearer understanding of the body structure of various creatures.

There were no other changes for the time being.

It seemed like the level of his biochemical technique was not high enough.

He had accumulated 4 potential points, but he still kept Ning Shi for now.

Up until now, Ning Shi only knew some cultivation systems from Old Li’s mouth.

However, he still knew nothing about the cultivation system of the mecha masters, which was the core of this world.

At night, after learning the biochemical technique for two hours, Ning Shi returned to his room.

Following Wu Qianlian’s instructions, he logged into the AI network and entered the Norse Republic Library.
