After all, Meteor Street has a large population and a high mortality rate. If not addressed seriously, it is very likely that a plague could form. This would be devastating for Meteor Street, where the population is particularly dense.

In the very beginning, Ron extracted many things from the corpses before they were thrown into the garden. After testing, he discovered that only he could see the white mist and light ball, so even if a corpse was lying in the street, Ron could still approach and touch it without changing his expression.

Initially, Ron's behavior didn't attract much attention; after all, searching for valuables from the dead is not much different from scavenging in a garbage dump. However, as the cleaners dealt with the corpses, they gradually noticed that some corpses showed no trace of resentment, and even the smell of decay was gone!

This piqued curiosity, and after some investigation, they identified Ron as the source.

In Meteor Street, there are many strong individuals, and naturally, many strong individuals have died. At this time, Ron, having found many valuable things from these strong individuals, besides learning the common language of the Hunter world, had already gained a certain level of self-protection.

Although Meteor Street doesn't mind fighting, it doesn't welcome unnecessary disputes, as survival is the most important thing. Therefore, after realizing Ron's special ability, the elders responsible for his jurisdiction decided to recruit Ron as a cleaner in charge of disposing of corpses.

Since then, Ron has firmly established himself on Meteor Street.

The job of the cleaners is generally to dispose of corpses every two days. If there is a special situation, such as a large-scale weapon fight, Ron will have to work overtime.

In the small garden that Ron was responsible for, the corpses came from several nearby streets. In two days, one hundred and seventy-two corpses were sent from these streets, illustrating how high the death rate on Meteor Street is.

But for Ron, disposing of a corpse is like opening a treasure chest, filled with excitement and surprises. After the surprise and excitement, there is a surge in strength.

Besides items, touching a corpse also yields skills. Just like the blue leather skill book he extracted the first time, [Basic Palm Technique Intermediate].

Generally speaking, the skill levels obtained are divided into four tiers: elementary, intermediate, advanced, and perfect. These correspond to white, blue, red, and purple leather skill books, respectively.

By tapping the skill book on his head, he can easily understand it, just like learning skills in a game.

After touching the first corpse and obtaining the blue leather skill book, Ron felt invigorated and set his sights on another body.

Reaching out to grab the other person's body again, the same illusory hand shadow emerged, and after grabbing it, another ball of light appeared in Ron's hand. The sphere of light dissipated, revealing a pistol that was obviously damaged.

"Normal security pistol, with some damage and irreparable. It can be used but has no bullets."

After this text appeared in his mind, Ron tossed the broken gun aside without a second glance.

Touching the corpse is like this: although there are two corpses that were evenly matched in life, the value of the items found can be completely different. One is a precious skill book, and the other is a broken pistol.

While there is the possibility of finding good things, since it's a possibility, there's also a probability. Among the one hundred and seventy-two corpses, Ron felt that it would be great if ten corpses brought value to him.

After discarding the broken pistol, the face of the second body softened, and Ron moved on to the third body.

"The broken iron spatula can be used to fight or to cook."

"Guide to Wilderness Survival, Elementary."

"Whistling skills, elementary level."

"Blowing smoke ring skills, elementary level."

"Common pharmacological knowledge, elementary level."

"Broken Blade, barely usable."

"Street Fighting Wang Baquan, advanced."

"Pure Nen."

...

A series of skill books and items were extracted by Ron. In less than half an hour, he touched all the corpses on the ground. Only that mass of pure Nen energy improved Ron the most, enhancing his strength and body.

The reason he became so strong now is that he extracted Nen energy from the corpses of these unfortunate people to improve his strength. There are no side effects to worry about, much like the Beiming Divine Skill in martial arts novels, allowing for the safe absorption of an opponent's internal force.

Other top-level skills and things, like the advanced b*****d boxing, are less significant to mention~

Looking at the peaceful and serene corpses on the ground, Ron quietly said a prayer, then approached the gate of the small garden and opened it.

"It's all taken care of," Ron nodded to Lucas, who was approaching, then turned and left without lingering.

"It's all done~"

Lucas heard the words and entered, seeing the peaceful expressions on the corpses and noting that the rotten smell had long dissipated and all the flies had vanished.

"It's been a long time; I haven't tasted meat~~~"
