Chapter 200: Unexpected Talent (Part 2)
Having already spent nearly four hours upgrading four different talents, Adyr didn’t waste a second. Without pause, he selected his next target—[Architect].
As its name suggests, advancing this talent required constructing various structures from scratch. But not just any structures would suffice. He needed something extraordinary. Something that could serve as undeniable proof of architectural prowess.
While considering what could qualify as truly extraordinary, a concept came to mind—one that would allow him to not only push [Architect] forward but simultaneously make him showcase his three other talents: [Butchering], [Masonry], and [Surgery].
With ruthless efficiency, he navigated to a comprehensive farming simulation and launched it. The premise was simple on the surface: build a farm, raise animals, and tend fields. But Adyr had no intention of running a quaint countryside life. He had no need for livestock management or crop cycles.
What interested him was how real the simulation was—how deeply it mimicked the physical, anatomical, and structural aspects of real-world labor. That was all he needed.
He spawned into a wide, empty patch of land and immediately opened the shop menu. Since the simulation allowed unrestricted purchasing, he acquired everything he needed within seconds.
Ten fully grown cattle appeared in the field, along with a full set of high-grade butchering tools—cleavers, bone saws, skinning knives, tendon separators, and specialized surgical clamps.
He wasted no time.
One by one, Adyr slaughtered the cows with precise, clinical motions. He didn’t simply hack through them like a butcher on a deadline. Every cut was intentional, controlled, and clean. He separated flesh from hide, muscle from tendon, sinew from bone. Organs were delicately extracted and categorized. Intestines were coiled and rinsed, hearts and livers laid out beside meticulously labeled trays. Bones were stripped and stacked, while the meat was neatly portioned by type, cut, and intended use.
The open-air field became a display of surgical artistry and controlled brutality.
But he didn’t stop there.
Deciding that ten cows weren’t enough, he purchased ten sheep, ten pigs, ten chickens, and even more exotic livestock like ostriches and ducks—anything available through the simulation’s farming catalog.
