The Last Gentleman-Chapter 275: Meat Sense Enhancement

Several hours passed.

Yi Chen sat up from the operating table and as he fastened the buttons of his shirt, a maid from outside brought in a carefully prepared nutritious breakfast.

He only took a few bites of breakfast before setting it aside, not feeling hungry at all since he had swallowed a large bag of pus from Jin before dawn, enough to last until noon without eating.

Prophet Yuri was sitting at a nearby workbench, wearing glasses that could seal aura, as well as gloves with the same sealing effect, drawing a new design for a maid model.

Without sealing, an inadvertent leak of killing intent could shred the workbench.

“Done! The basic design has been finalized. It will require multiple experimental adjustments later. I hope it can replicate around 50% of your physical structure.”

“Mr. Yuri, the reason you can maintain ‘delicacy’ amid slaughter is because you engaged in mechanical design work, right?”

“Exactly~ My earliest slaughters were quite rough. Though they appeared to be very intimidating, the actual efficiency was rather low.

To curb my innate nature for slaughter, I sought out another interest, which gradually led me to the path of design, and unexpectedly found that the two could be related.”

Yuri’s attitude towards Yi Chen had completely transformed, even resembling that of a teacher instructing a student.

“However, mechanical design requires a foundation of both interest and time. If you wish to learn, I fear there isn’t enough time. After sealing myself, I devoted a full ten years to mechanical design as a form of interest and dedication.

What I am going to teach you, ‘Slaughter Skill,’ is something more suited to you. The amount of time it will take is directly related to talent.”

“Thank you, Mr. Yuri. Indeed, I don’t have much time.”

Yi Chen initially guessed that he would be taken to the Duel Arena to engage in one-on-one slaughter combat with Yuri, learning the essence of slaughter through mutual hacking and slashing.

However,

the path Yuri led him down did not go towards the Duel Arena;instead, they opened a secret door in the Mechanical Workshop. After Yuri’s identity verification, they reached an even more secluded area.

Because [Cesimani] was located in the underground area of Zion, there was plenty of space available for development.

The secret chamber Yi Chen was taken to was tower-shaped, circular and ascending, neatly divided into nine layers.

As Yuri activated switches between the walls,

the ‘display shelves’ hidden within each layer unfolded successively,

and upon each shelf hung models of servants of different forms and categories.

They were models constructed by Yuri during his mechanical creations, using different types of humans, Patients as reference;all were ‘first edition prototypes’.

The interior was made of very detailed metal frames, while the exterior was crafted from high-level imitation flesh, indistinguishable in touch from a real human.

“This is…”

Yi Chen looked up at the hundreds of servant models, not quite understanding Yuri’s true intentions for the moment.

“Slaughter is not just simple hacking,

nor is it about exerting all one’s power to eliminate an enemy,

nor is it about inflicting deadly blows that seem decent, like cutting off heads or piercing hearts.

It is about immediately projecting the physical structure of the target you need to slaughter into your mind, identifying the most perfect ‘Slaughter lines’ on their bodies, ensuring each of your strikes cuts along these lines,

where the precision, depth, and control of force are just right, to achieve the most efficient slaughter.

You can experience the pleasure and satisfaction that comes from ‘Perfect Slaughter’ in this process, and your opponents too will be respected and equally satisfied because of such perfect killing.

You happen to have a special talent in the field of vision, or rather, your pet inside you can take over the task of ‘finding the Slaughter line,’ and what you need to do now is ‘enhancing the sense of flesh.’

Familiarize yourself with the physical structures of different life forms to ensure that the moment you obtain the distribution of the Slaughter lines, you can carry out the slaughter accurately and without error.

The first edition prototypes I have created here are representative and diverse, embodying the most iconic and peculiar characteristics of contemporary humanoid life.

Use your senses to familiarize yourself with them! Touch all the prototypes to enhance your Meat Sense.

As for the Meat Sense of non-human forms, that’s something you’ll have to figure out on your own.”

“Understood!”

The scene was a bit strange,

These prototype servants looked no different from real people, even their hair was made from real wigs, and the prosthetic eyes were incredibly realistic, so much so that they were highly lifelike.

Shedding his coat, Yi Chen rolled up his sleeves

He touched the skin of each servant prototype intimately, sometimes even pressing his whole body against them, which made him increasingly resemble a pervert.

However, Yi Chen himself did not feel this way;he was merely following Prophet Yuri’s guidance in “enhancing the sense of flesh”, sensing the roughness of the skin, the lines and their depth, as well as feeling the underlying structures, temperatures, and distributions.

Although he had killed many enemies before and had experiences dissecting bodies with Zede,

Yi Chen had never calmed himself to feel a physical body this way, trying to familiarize himself with a body that had nothing to do with his own.

In this process, Madness Brain began to function slowly, feeling the needs of its master, Yi Chen.

Gradually, Yi Chen closed his eyes, no longer using his sight for observation, being able to generate an exact mental image of the body’s structure with just a touch of his hands over a servant prototype.

Occasionally, he would even take out an axe and gesture with it a few times.

After reaching a certain number of touches, Yi Chen began to see some “lines” distributed on the individuals’ surfaces.

As the number of touches increased, the lines became clearer, and he could see multiple lines on a body, perhaps on the chest, thighs, or abdomen.

The lines varied in thickness, the thicker ones indicating the need for deeper cuts.

These lines corresponded to parts of the body that were not notably lethal, but in Yi Chen’s view, just cutting these lines would cause the individual to bleed profusely, sustain serious injuries, or even die outright.

Unknowingly, Yi Chen had reached the top floor display room.

When he touched the last model, a set of fuzzy, killing intent-oozing red lines startled him into opening his eyes,

And before him, the one he was touching, was none other than Prophet Yuri sitting in a wheelchair.

“Mr. Yuri!”

Yi Chen quickly withdrew his hand from the somewhat strange area and apologized, bowing his head.

“Cough cough~ Did you see the lines?”

“I did… but the lines on you, Mr. Yuri, are very blurry and even float irregularly, presenting a red mist appearance.”

Upon hearing this, Yuri forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart and covered it up with a stern expression.

“You, a newbie who has just started learning, think you can analyze my Slaughter lines? And, do you have any idea how long you’ve been here?”

“Three… four hours?”

Yi Chen had no concept of time;he was fully immersed in the process of Meat Sense enhancement, feeling as though it had ended in the blink of an eye.

“Three whole days! Both the day before yesterday and yesterday, that woman Beili came with Jin, making a fuss wanting to see you, what a pain… I even had to arrange a maid to feed you, but you simply wouldn’t eat, nor would you excrete.

It’s as if your brain deliberately lowered your metabolic rate, focusing solely on enhancing the sense of flesh.

Since you can see the lines, there’s nothing more I can teach you… Go back and find something to practice with after you leave.”

Yi Chen scratched his head somewhat sheepishly, “Well, could I continue to stay in your Duel Arena for one more day? There doesn’t seem to be a better place for Slaughter practice in all of Zion than here.”

“Humph… I’ve said it before, the chance to use the Duel Arena is only once.”

Yuri was also holding back his inner turmoil;he had almost cursed out loud just now.

“Alright~ I’ll figure out my own way to train. I’ll come to visit you again when I’ve made progress or if I have any doubts.”

“Hmm… Aren’t you going for the Nightmare Qualification? Discuss it well with Desline. Try to enter the Dreaming under her supervision as much as possible, and don’t end up dead.”

“Okay.”

After Yi Chen left, Yuri was left with mixed feelings. He had never seen a young man with such a high talent, and it was regrettable that such a person did not belong to Cesimani.

He discarded his troubles and returned to the Mechanical Workshop to continue the brand new maid design.
