64: Chapter 64: Teacher Nalan's Biology Class? No, it's a Food Processing Class!
The early morning supplementary training ended amidst the wailing and howling of The Second and The Third.
The eldest, Wang Zhentian, carried the two-ton excavator bucket dismantled from the construction site on his back, running twenty laps around the playground as if nothing had happened, and even had time to ask the passing foreman, Chef Li, for a lollipop.
This terrifying physical stamina made General Leng Feng, who was in charge of supervision, twitch her eyelids involuntarily, and she silently changed tomorrow's weight-bearing plan to crane counterweights in her little notebook.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the first general biology class at Cloud Top Palace's First Public Kindergarten officially began.
The classroom was located in a newly completed semi-open glass house, surrounded by exotic flowers and herbs brought by Nalan Ruo from the capital, with a faint medicinal fragrance permeating the air, creating a very elegant environment.
Nalan Ruo had changed out of her casual home clothes into a camouflage training uniform, looking heroic and spirited. She stood on the podium with a massive holographic projection screen behind her.
"Hello, students." Nalan Ruo habitually pointed her pointer at the holographic screen, her voice crisp and forceful: "I am your biology teacher, Nalan Ruo. You may call me Teacher Nalan, or you may call me... Instructor."
The three little ones sitting below immediately straightened their bodies.
Although this godmother was usually gentle, the image of her smiling while pushing them into boiling medicinal water for their medicated bath last night still made them feel lingering fear to this day.
"Biology class, as the name implies, is a course for studying living organisms."
Nalan Ruo waved her hand, and a huge, fierce wild boar with two tusks and iron armor all over its body appeared on the holographic screen.
The image was extremely realistic, even simulating the wild boar's roar, scaring away a few passing birds.
"This is a Rank F Vicious Beast—Iron-Backed Porcupine." Nalan Ruo pointed to the image and began to explain seriously: "It is one of the most common Vicious Beasts in the wilderness area.
Its temperament is irritable, its defense is extremely strong, and the iron spikes on its back can be launched like arrows."
"As guardians of humanity, when we encounter it, we must first analyze its weaknesses."
"Now, I will ask a question." Nalan Ruo's gaze swept over the three children.
"Who can tell me, if we encounter this Iron-Backed Porcupine in the wild, which part should we attack to make it lose its combat ability the fastest?"
The classroom was silent. The three children looked at each other, their eyes sparkling with excitement.
"The Third, you go first." Nalan Ruo called out.
The Third, Wang Ling, gestured in the air with her small hand and said with a serious face:
"Report, Instructor! According to data analysis, the space between The Third and fourth vertebrae of this pig is a weak point in structural mechanics. But I suggest... attacking its carotid artery."
"Why?" Nalan Ruo was somewhat gratified; it seemed The Third still understood anatomy.
"Because bleeding it out is faster that way." The Third answered seriously, "This kind of pig has a very strong gamey smell. If you don't drain the blood while it's alive, the meat quality will turn sour, affecting the taste."
Nalan Ruo: "...?" She froze for a moment, thinking she had misheard.
Before she could react, The Second, Wang Yan, had already raised his hand impatiently.
"Instructor! Instructor! I have a different opinion!" The Second stood up, staring at the holographic wild boar, drool almost flowing out: "Bleeding is too much trouble! I suggest using my Myriad Beast Spirit Fire to attack its stomach directly!"
"There is no iron armor there, and the fat is the thickest!"
"As long as the heat is controlled well, you can instantly roast its internal organs, force out the grease, and turn it into crispy pork belly that is charred on the outside and tender on the inside!"
Nalan Ruo: "..." She took a deep breath and turned to look at the eldest, who appeared the most honest and sincere.
"Zhentian, what about you? You shouldn't be as... gluttonous as them, right?"
The eldest, Wang Zhentian, scratched his head and smiled foolishly: "Godmother, I think what they said is too slow."
"When encountering this kind of pig, just smash its skull with one punch."
"As for eating..." A flash of brilliance crossed the eldest's eyes, "The brains of the Iron-Backed Porcupine are the most delicious. Once smashed, you can just use a spoon to dig them out and eat them—it's good for the brain!"
"..." The pointer in Nalan Ruo's hand almost fell to the ground.
Looking at the three in front of her, were they really here to study biology?
They were clearly here for advanced training at a culinary school!
Bleeding, roasting meat, eating brains... How could this batch of students have their heads full of nothing but food?!
"Ahem!" Wang Dachui, who had been squatting outside the classroom window eavesdropping, couldn't help but cough twice, a trace of an awkward yet polite smile on his face.
"Well... Sister Nalan, the children are growing, so please understand, please understand."
Nalan Ruo rolled her eyes at him and sighed helplessly. Fine, this is what they call "if the upper beam is crooked, the lower ones will be too."
"Although your... starting point is a bit skewed, the core idea is correct." Nalan Ruo forcibly tried to save face, attempting to bring the class back on track.
"Indeed, the abdomen, neck, and head are all its weaknesses. But in actual combat, Vicious Beasts move; they won't just stand there obediently and let you hit them."
"I can definitely run faster than it." The eldest muttered.
"Fine, since you are so confident." A mischievous smile curled at the corners of Nalan Ruo's mouth, and she suddenly pressed a red button on the podium.
"Talking without practicing is just a show. As it happens, the soldiers in charge of patrol yesterday caught a lone Iron-Backed Porcupine on the outskirts of the base."
"It was originally intended to be an extra meal for the cafeteria, but now... it is your teaching aid."
Following a series of heavy footsteps and chants.
Several sweating construction workers, chanting "one-two-one," carried a huge alloy cage and huffed and puffed as they walked in from outside the classroom, placing it heavily with a thud on the open space in front of the podium.
Inside the cage, a real, living, five-hundred-pound Iron-Backed Porcupine was red-eyed, emitting a fierce, low growl.
Dried blood still hung from its two tusks, and the iron spikes on its back stood upright, emitting a chilling cold light.
"Holy crap! Sister Nalan, aren't you being too stingy?" After seeing what was in the cage, Wang Dachui couldn't help but complain from outside the window.
"Using this kind of F-Rank little snack as a teaching aid for the eldest? Isn't that looking down on the Ancient Sacred Body too much? I'm afraid the eldest will sneeze and shake it to death!"
"Shut up." Nalan Ruo threw the two words back without turning her head.
She certainly knew the eldest's strength was terrifying, but strength didn't mean control.
"Zhentian, listen well. Your task is not to kill it."
Nalan Ruo said to the eldest: "Ten minutes. I want you to subdue it, but you cannot let it suffer fatal injuries, and you certainly cannot beat it to a pulp."
"Because... this is your lunch; if you beat it to a pulp, there will be nothing left to eat."
"Huh? You want to capture it alive?" The eldest, Wang Zhentian, curled his lips in disappointment, "That's so boring, it's much more satisfying to just kill it directly."
"Click!" The electronic lock of the cage popped open automatically.
Although the Iron-Backed Porcupine was not very intelligent, it knew it had regained its freedom.
It let out a deafening roar, carrying a foul wind, and charged toward the eldest, who was closest and looked like he had the most meat!
"Roar—!!!"
Facing this Vicious Beast capable of flipping a small car, the three children's reactions were surprisingly consistent.
No fear, no panic, only... excitement, the kind of excitement one feels when seeing that takeout has finally arrived.
"Big Brother! Hold it down! Don't break it!" The Second roared.
"The Third! Get ready to bleed it! I want it fresh!"
"Alright! What a hassle, having to hold back my strength." The eldest, Wang Zhentian, sighed. Facing the high-speed charging porcupine, he didn't even take a stance; he just casually extended a chubby little hand.
"Stop."
"Bang—!!!" With a dull thud, the scene seemed to freeze.
The five-hundred-pound porcupine, charging at full speed, had its head crash right into the eldest's palm.
Without retreating, without wavering, the eldest was like an immovable ancient sacred mountain, not budging an inch.
Instead, it was the porcupine that was dazed by the huge recoil, its four legs trembling, its massive body even tilting backward due to inertia.
"Stay... down!" The eldest pressed down with his backhand, just like pressing down on a disobedient puppy.
"Boom!" The entire body of the porcupine was forcibly pressed into the specially made floor by his single hand, its four limbs kicking wildly, but it was unable to move a single inch.
Ancient Sacred Body, Peerless Physical Body!
Dealing with this kind of F-Rank mob was simply a dimensional strike.
"Easy! Easy! Don't shake the brains to pieces!" The Second, Wang Yan, was anxious and hopping mad, sliding over to them.
"Watch me! Myriad Beast Spirit Fire: Precision BBQ Edition!"
He took a deep breath and compressed the flame into a thin line of fire, not for attacking, but for removing hair.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle! The flame precisely scorched the porcupine's belly, instantly cleaning off all those stiff hairs.
"Data collection complete, blood vessel positioning clear." The Third, Wang Ling, had somehow found a sharp metal strip dismantled from somewhere and was calmly calculating the angle.
"No need for a fatal blow, just anesthesia. Go!"
Whoosh! The metal strip turned into a cold flash, descending from the sky, hitting exactly the nerve node on the porcupine's spine!
The porcupine convulsed, its body, which had still been struggling, instantly went limp. Only its eyes were still moving; it had completely lost the ability to resist.
Alive, fresh, and unable to move.
"Perfect!"
"Ingredient preservation successful!"
"Time to eat!"
In less than ten seconds, that notoriously fierce Iron-Backed Porcupine had been handled by the three children as clearly and efficiently as a product on an assembly line.
The eldest was responsible for absolute power suppression, The Second was responsible for precision hair removal, and The Third was responsible for nerve anesthesia.
Nalan Ruo stood on the podium, the pointer in her hand having fallen to the ground.
She had originally wanted to teach the children how to use weaknesses to win against the strong through actual combat.
As a result... this was clearly the strong bullying the weak and even showing off fancy ways to abuse noobs!
Especially the eldest's calmness while pressing the pig with one hand; it was even more outrageous than any S-Rank strength-type ability user she had seen back in the day.
Are these really human cubs?
"Clap! Clap! Clap!" From outside the window came Wang Dachui's extremely loud and shameless applause.
"Good! Well fought! Well killed!"
"As expected of my, Wang Dachui's, offspring! This is what you call brothers working together, their combined strength can cut through a pig!"
"Sister Nalan, I told you this thing was too weak, right? Next time, let's switch to a C-Rank... no, a B-Rank one for them to practice on!"
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, Host! Your offspring have displayed amazing teamwork in actual combat!]
[This is not just a hunt, but a manifestation of Family cohesion!]
[Rewards distributed:]
1. Family prestige +1000 (This battle will be recorded in the "Human Cub Observation Diary" and spread widely among the high-ranking military officials).
2. Unlock Family Illustrated Handbook: [Vicious Beast Cookbook] (Since the children love to eat so much, let them eat with understanding).
3. Trigger talent [Fathers Glory via Offspring] effect:
[Detected that the eldest has displayed absolute power suppression, feeding back to Host: Strength +20!]
[Detected that The Second has displayed precision elemental control, feeding back to Host: Spiritual Power Control +10%!]
[Detected that The Third has displayed weak point insight ability, feeding back to Host: Eye of Insight (Can view the attributes of targets that do not exceed one's own Rank by too much)!]
Wang Dachui only felt a coolness in his eyes, and the world before him seemed to become clearer.
He looked at the porcupine on the ground and could actually see a line of faint small text:
[Fresh Iron-Backed Porcupine (Alive state): E-Rank ingredient, firm meat, suitable for braising. Brain integrity 100%.]
"Holy crap, divine skill!" Wang Dachui was overjoyed.
And in the classroom, Nalan Ruo looked at the three children who were surrounding the pig, discussing how to have Chef Li cook it later.
She rubbed her temples, but a helpless yet gratified smile curled at the corners of her mouth.
"Fine."
"Today's biology class... full marks."
"Class dismissed! Drag this pig to the cafeteria!"
"Long live Teacher Nalan!" The cheers resounded throughout the Cloud Top Palace.
