Meat. Rong Ziyin Directly Refuses: No.
System: !!!
The concept of the Heavenly Dao System being “conquerable” is a real cheat code. This young boy is in his chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) phase, admiring strength. In his mind, Rong Ziyin is even more powerful than Superman in the movies. As long as Rong Ziyin is willing to put in a little effort, this kid can definitely become one of Rong Ziyin’s most loyal followers, following his lead without question, even closer than his own parents.
But the system doesn’t understand, and it is precisely for this reason that Rong Ziyin must firmly refuse.
Rong Ziyin knows that this is the real world, not some fantasy novel where the strong rule.
He is a veterinarian at the livestock station, so he should honestly do his job and fulfill his duties. There’s nothing wrong with a straightforward supply and demand relationship. Excessive adulation is a recipe for disaster.
As for a loyal follower who will never betray you? In Rong Ziyin’s view, that’s utter nonsense.
The Qing Dynasty has been gone for so many years. In this world today, the things we should be most loyal to and never betray are our nation, our conscience, and the law.
Thinking of this, Rong Ziyin added another piece of advice to the child, “Study hard. No matter what profession you want to pursue in the future, it’s never wrong to learn more.”
The child nodded vigorously, immediately regarding Rong Ziyin’s words as gospel.
After all, everyone in the surrounding villages knew that Rong Ziyin had been the top student in Yanjing City and had entered the Agricultural University. He had brought honor to the village.
Thinking this, the child became even more determined to listen to Dr. Rong and grow up to be as capable as him. Even the Minion character in the video above the child’s head had a “Strive” headband on it.
This child was so funny that Rong Ziyin couldn’t help but pat his head again. He immediately received a basketful of little hearts from the boy, who covered his face and jumped around excitedly.
Hopefully, this child can maintain this enthusiasm. Rong Ziyin let the young boy go inside first, then stood up and walked to the duck shed, saying to the couple, “The ducks are all fine, don’t worry.”
Then, Rong Ziyin carefully explained the necessary disinfection procedures before leaving.
The pig farmer and his wife quickly saw Rong Ziyin off, but just as they were about to part, he suddenly remembered something important and stopped Rong Ziyin again.
“Dr. Rong, you see, my boar went into heat yesterday. If you have time, could you please have it sterilized?”
The pig farmer was a little embarrassed. “It’s indeed a bit rushed, but you see, my leg isn’t very convenient, and it’s just my wife and child at home. I’m afraid the boar might cause trouble and injure them too.”
Rong Ziyin understood his meaning. A boar in heat is incredibly strong and indeed very dangerous. Plus, sterilizing a boar isn’t difficult, so Rong Ziyin readily agreed, “It can be done in a bit. I’ll be there around seven o’clock.”
Rong Ziyin checked the time; it was already six o’clock. The sterilization surgery on the boar required some equipment and medicine, so Rong Ziyin arranged with a large-scale pig farmer to come over after dinner to perform the surgery.
On the way back, the system asked curiously, “Host, doesn’t that family sell pork? Since the boar can’t be kept, why not just slaughter it and sell the meat?”
Rong Ziyin replied, “Because it doesn’t taste good.”
Things are different now than in the past, when even meat was scarce. In those days, whatever the flavor, as long as it was meat, was delicious. But now, with rapid economic development, people’s demands have increased. Even though everyone eats meat, the general public prefers meat with a more delicious flavor.
Therefore, boars used for meat are usually sterilized during their piglet stage. This is to facilitate weight gain and to reduce the gamey smell of the meat.
This particular boar, having been raised as a breeding boar for two or three years, no longer suited the current tastes of the general public. Therefore, it would be difficult to sell it.
The system still didn’t understand after listening. “But isn’t it useless after sterilization?”
“Of course it’s useful.” Rong Ziyin continued to explain. “To determine the estrus cycle of sows, there’s a type of boar used for testing. This boar has its vas deferens cut, completely eradicating its ability to impregnate the sow.”
“Although it can’t reproduce, it can still promote estrus in sows. Putting it in the same sow pen as other sows can increase the sow’s conception rate.”
“Holy crap, even castration isn’t spared, are you humans all this terrifying?” The system was completely dumbfounded.
Rong Ziyin thought for a moment and asked the system, “Does the pork smell good?”
The system was silent for a while: “Yes.”
Rong Ziyin: “Oh.”
The internal dialogue ended. Rong Ziyin went back and ate a simple meal, then took the necessary medicines and tools to the large-scale livestock farmer’s house.
The livestock station was still some distance from the farmer’s house. Rong Ziyin had nothing to do on the way, so he used his free hand to take out his phone and log into the veterinary professional system to see if there were any new research papers published domestically or internationally recently.
This was a habit Rong Ziyin had cultivated since his freshman year, and the main reason why his knowledge was more extensive and profound than that of his classmates.
Even the system couldn’t help but admire Rong Ziyin’s professional attitude.
He’d been in the village for almost a month now, and the country roads were smooth. Rong Ziyin carried his medical kit, reading his professional paper as he walked. By the time he reached the livestock farmer’s house, only the last part of the paper remained unfinished. Since
anesthesia usually took some time, Rong Ziyin figured he could finish it during that time, so he casually put his phone in his pocket.
Inspired by Rong Ziyin that afternoon, the young boy only came out to say hello before going back to do his homework. But the little heart representing his admiration for Rong Ziyin kept drifting towards him through the window.
Although the livestock farmer and his wife didn’t know what their son was thinking, that didn’t stop them from giving Rong Ziyin a whopping three thousand points of gratitude.
After all, Dr. Rong was truly remarkable; even their son, who disliked studying the most, started doing his homework voluntarily after talking with him!
Rong Ziyin also held the couple in high esteem.
He felt that his teacher had been right when he said something: there was nothing wrong with the village. Although it was monotonous and poor, humanity seemed purer because of it.
Following the wife of the large-scale farmer to the pigpen at the back, the boar that had been in heat was still tied up there, unable to move.
Rong Ziyin walked over and glanced at it.
The boar was still swaggering around. A barrage of comments appeared above its head:
“Let me swagger, I can still seduce ten thousand young girls.”
However, upon seeing Rong Ziyin take out a needle, the boar instantly panicked.
“You treacherous commoners dare to harm me!”
Rong Ziyin patted the boar’s shoulder reassuringly. “Don’t worry, once you wake up, all the young ladies will be all over you.”
The boar: “Such a good thing?”
Rong Ziyin: “Yes, after you’re out of eggs, they’ll all be sisters.”
Since he was alone in the pigpen, Rong Ziyin didn’t mind exchanging a few words with the boar.
Then he deftly anesthetized the boar.
While waiting for the anesthesia to take effect, Rong Ziyin took out his phone, intending to finish watching what he hadn’t finished reading before.
Just then, a message popped up on QQ: someone had tagged Rong Ziyin.
Rong Ziyin clicked to check and found it was from
their dorm group chat. Rong Ziyin’s dorm was a six-person room. Generally, boys’ dorms are more lively with more people. But these guys just couldn’t tolerate Rong Ziyin. To be precise, it was that rich kid who was constantly causing trouble. The others, either unwilling to offend anyone or wanting to curry favor with the rich kid, naturally joined in ostracizing him.
Fortunately, Rong Ziyin was always engrossed in his studies and worked odd jobs to support himself. He left early and returned late, treating the dorm like a hotel. This gave them no reason to cause trouble. The reason they
kept tagging him this time was because Rong Ziyin had teased those guys before leaving, saving his energy to get revenge after his make-up exams!
What they posted in the dorm group chat after tagging Rong Ziyin was a very lively group photo.
Four familiar faces—besides Rong Ziyin and the rich kid, everyone else in the dorm was there. They were gathered around the table having a meal.
Beer and barbecue were practically a must-have for every college dorm gathering. Unfortunately, Rong Ziyin had never experienced it.
And the things these guys said to Rong Ziyin when they tagged him were quite sarcastic.
“Second brother, if you hadn’t gone to work early and settled in the village, we could have had a farewell dinner together.”
“Young master didn’t come, but he treated us. We had a good meal today. How are you doing over there, second brother!”
The title “second brother” was never a good one. Usually, they all wished Rong Ziyin would get out of the dorm, but now they were pretending to be good buddies, calling him “second brother” all the time, which was quite amusing.
“This is too much!” The system jumped up and down in anger.
Rong Ziyin, however, remained calm. He glanced at the food in the photo, and in the center was a plate of oily kidneys.
So, Rong Ziyin raised his phone, accurately took a high-definition, uncensored close-up photo of the part of the pig that was about to have surgery, and then sent it to the QQ chat group.
Rong Ziyin: @All members, I’m fine, just busy, currently neutering a boar. The kidneys look good, you guys enjoy yours.
He then added, “Neutering surgery is one of the most common minor surgeries in veterinary clinical practice. You rarely have practical opportunities at school, so today, by chance, I’ll give you a rehearsal.”
Penguin has a new feature called Penguin Meetings. Originally a separate app, it’s now integrated into Penguin.
Unfortunately, his dormmates, for the sake of appearances, had also made Rong Ziyin an administrator.
Now, with one video conference, Rong Ziyin had pulled everyone except the group admin, the rich kid, into the meeting. The key point is that Rong Ziyin was the host, with the highest privileges. The meeting room was locked, no one could leave.
Furthermore, Rong Ziyin added a setting that prevented anyone else from speaking or typing.
His dormmates were still eating, completely unaware of what was happening on their phones.
Rong Ziyin found a spot to set up his phone, recording the entire sterilization process with crystal clarity, and simultaneously turned on the phone’s microphone.
“First step, disinfect your hands with disinfectant, then disinfect the surgical site on the boar…”
“Alright, all preparations are complete. I hereby declare the surgery officially beginning.”
With that, Rong Ziyin picked up the scalpel placed beside him.
Meanwhile, at a roadside food stall outside Yanjing Agricultural University, Rong Ziyin’s roommates were still clinking glasses and chatting.
“Hahaha, we’re definitely going to infuriate that idiot this time. I’ve got a feeling his village has nothing, he’s probably eating sweet potatoes and potatoes every day.”
“Yeah, you bet. How did he manage? What’s the use of being a top student? He’ll still be stuck in a poor, backwater village, a pathetic life forever.”
“Those from the village should go back to the village, country bumpkins should go back to where they came from.”
The aura of a top student can be suffocating, especially since Rong Ziyin was a blunt and unyielding top student who had a grudge against them. Four years of university had been a period of decline for them, and they felt it would be a shame not to take advantage of this misfortune.
But just as they were enjoying their drinks, Rong Ziyin’s voice came through all four of their phones simultaneously.
“The boar sterilization surgery has officially begun.”
“Holy crap! What’s going on?”
All four of them jumped in shock. When they checked their phones again, lo and behold! A boar’s two dark, rather grotesque testicles were shoved right in front of them.
“…”
Looking at Rong Ziyin in the video, he swiftly cut open the wound, precisely inserted his fingers, and removed the boar’s vas deferens. With a “snip,” he cleanly severed it with a pair of scissors.
That sound sent a chill down their spines. Even the kidneys they were holding tasted strange now.
