My citizenship is at risk

Chapter 23 Next, you will be the lead surgeon
Under the skilled disassembly of Master Mei and several other operators, a star beast was quickly turned into a pile of neatly stacked materials, with muscles, bones, organs and various special structures classified in an orderly manner.

"Well done." Mei Qingsong glanced at the materials on the ground and nodded slightly. "This one just now counts as your 3% contribution."

"Okay." Chu Mu nodded and had no objection to this.

He just did some menial work, so it's natural that his contribution is low.

"Master Mei, can I start on the next one?" Chu Mu became a little excited.

Getting started means higher contribution and more money, and it also means that he can try to dismantle the star beast corpse with a D9-level dismantling knife.

"Of course." Master Mei nodded with a smile, and the other operators also looked at Chu Mu with kindness.

It didn't take long before the next star beast was sent here.

It was a lizard-like star beast, its body covered with palm-sized scales and with two huge and ferocious heads.

After just one glance, Master Mei handed the D9-level disassembly knife in his hand to Chu Mu, "You will be the one to cut the scales."

The disassembly of the scales is relatively simple, but it is also a delicate job. In order to ensure the material effect, the scales must not be damaged.

"Okay." Chu Mu did not refuse. He took the knife and a serious expression appeared on his face.

In order to ensure the accuracy and flexibility of disassembly, the disassembly knife is only half the length of the straight knife he usually uses, but after swinging it twice, Chu Mu found the feeling.

Then, he imitated Master Mei's previous actions and walked around the lizard beast, observing its entire body while comparing it with the scan image on the side. After he had a clear idea in his mind, he quickly raised the knife.

"呲-"

With an imperceptible sound, the tip of the dismantling knife cut obliquely into the gap between the scales. The blade pried hard and one end of the scale lifted up.

Chu Mu held the raised end of the scale with one hand and used the other hand to hold the knife and cut the scale. In a breath, he completely cut off a scale, revealing the light red connective tissue underneath the scale.

He was about to put the scale on the side of the operating table when a hand reached out and took the scale.

Chu Mu was stunned, turned to look at another operator beside him, thanked him, and then began to divide the other scales in an orderly manner.

More than ten minutes later, Chu Mu cooperated with other operators to complete the cutting of the scales of the entire star beast. He returned the knife to Master Mei and stepped aside, entering the state of observation and learning again.

Chu Mu contributed 7% to the dismantling of this star beast.

Time passed bit by bit, and Chu Mu's participation level continued to increase as he observed and learned. By the evening, when the workshop was resting, his contribution to the disassembly of a single star beast had reached 15%, which was no lower than that of other operators.

"Let's go have dinner and continue in the evening." After disassembling the star beast on hand, Master Mei waved his hand, signaling everyone to take a rest first, and then waved to Chu Mu, signaling him to stay.

"I'll lend this to you." Master Mei took off his work badge and handed it to Chu Mu. "Full-time operators can use their work badges to go to the cafeteria to eat a nutritious meal every day. It would be a pity if you don't use it."

"This..." Chu Mu subconsciously took the work card and showed a surprised look, "Master Mei, what about you?"

"Me?" Master Mei had a warm smile on his face. "The dinner break is one and a half hours. I go home every day to have dinner with my wife and children."

"My energy level has already reached 100%, but my skills are not at the third level, so I am stuck at the source-gathering level. Nutritious meals don't mean much to me."

"You, on the other hand, are in the right period of growth." Master Mei patted Chu Mu on the shoulder. "In theory, your work badge cannot be lent to others, but you are a part-time operator, so you are not an outsider. Explain this to the cafeteria and they will make an exception."

"Okay, I have to go home quickly."

Master Mei waved his hand in a cool manner and strode towards the workshop exit, looking like he was in a hurry to go home.

"Thank you, Master Mei!"

Chu Mu shouted at the other person's back, and when he saw the smiling photo of Mei Qingsong on his work card, his heart warmed. Maybe the nutritious meal really had no effect on Master Mei, but Master Mei was willing to lend him his work card, which was something he needed to be grateful for.

After asking other operators and knowing the location of the cafeteria, Chu Mu did not go there immediately. Instead, he found an open space nearby, sat cross-legged and began to practice.

After 35 minutes, the practice ended.

The strong feeling of hunger prompted Chu Mu to run to the cafeteria. As soon as he entered, the rich aroma of food filled his mouth and nose, making his eyes turn green.

Walking to a counter at random, Chu Mu took out Mei Qingsong's work badge and handed it to the aunt serving food in the cafeteria.

"Lao Mei." The auntie who served the food glanced at her work badge and asked, "Are you here to work part-time today?"

"Yes." Chu Mu nodded.

"Got it." The auntie swiped her work card on the instrument and handed it back to Chu Mu, "What do you want to eat?"

"Give me one portion of all of them." Chu Mu said without hesitation.

“Okay.” The auntie who served the food was also worldly-wise, and she started to help Chu Mu serve the food with a smile.

His hands were steady, not shaking at all.

“If it’s not enough, you can refill as much as you want, but don’t waste it.” After giving some advice, the auntie who served the food handed the plate full of food to Chu Mu.

"Okay." Chu Mu took the plate and swallowed, but he didn't rush to eat. "Does Master Mei often lend meal cards to part-time employees?"

"Yes." The auntie who served the food smiled, "Lao Mei is a warm-hearted person."

Chu Mu nodded in understanding, found a seat nearby, and started showing off his food.

Compared to normal food, the taste of nutritious meals is not very special, but the ingredients used are more nutritious, and a small amount of edible star beast meat is mixed in.

For warriors who have reached the Nayuan realm after training, this nutritious meal can better replenish the body's nutrition.

After finishing the food on the plate, Chu Mu's hunger had almost disappeared. He added a few more of his favorite dishes and was full. The amount he ate was several times less than normal food.

The one and a half hour break passed quickly.

In the workshop, Mei Qingsong, Chu Mu and five other operators took their positions, and soon the conveyor belt started working again and brought a star beast over.

Mei Qingsong handed the knife in his hand to Chu Mu.

"Next, you will be the lead surgeon."

Chu Mu's face showed excitement.

The main surgeon is responsible for the entire disassembly process, and his contribution is usually no less than 40%, making him the highest in the group.

Master Mei gave him this task, which was obviously a kind of training.

Holding the dark blue disassembly knife tightly in his hand, Chu Mu took a deep breath and walked onto the operating table.

After walking around the star beast's corpse and comparing it with the scan image, he had a clear idea of ​​the entire star beast's situation.

Standing still, Chu Mu raised the dismantling knife and then quickly dropped it.
