Beast taming, starting from zero point-Chapter 40 - 37 Medical Accident

Chapter 40: Chapter 37 Medical Accident

Qiao Sang felt a sense of crisis, as the joy of being the top special recruit quickly dissipated.

At that moment, Zheng Yining said, “Boss Qiao, do you want to go celebrate later? I know a new snack bar on Rong Chang Street that serves amazing food. Their signature dish, Lao Yun Leg, is made by a Cici Match.”

Qiao Sang was shocked, “They actually use Cici Match to make Lao Yun Leg? Is that even allowed?!”

Using extraordinary creatures as ingredients wasn’t unheard of in society, but it was usually done surreptitiously, not so blatantly advertised as a signature dish.

And isn’t a Cici Match made entirely of magnets? Can you even eat that?

Zheng Yining was stunned for a moment, “Cici Match is the chef at the snack bar, did you… misunderstand something?”

Qiao Sang looked up at the sky awkwardly and laughed twice, “Haha, it looks like the weather is quite nice today. Let’s head home early.”

Zheng Yining: “…”

She didn’t misunderstand the big boss’s thoughts just now, did she…?

After turning down Zheng Yining, Li Yang, and the others’ invitation to bet on Black Beak Sparrows together, Qiao Sang immediately pulled out her phone as soon as they parted ways.

In order to focus on her exams, Qiao Sang had chosen to turn off her phone when she entered Shengshui Middle School.

As soon as she turned it back on, two missed calls from her mother appeared on the screen.

Qiao Sang didn’t call back right away. Taking a deep breath, she shakily unlocked her phone and opened the Interstellar Betting Network.

“I won!!”

The very next second, the Fire-Toothed Dog heard its Beast Tamer let out an excited cry.

“Ya!”

The Fire-Toothed Dog’s tail wagged happily in response to the excitement.

Qiao Sang did the math.

She had lost 5000 Alliance Currency on her bet on Bodelei, but this time, after deducting the principal, she had won 1200 Alliance Currency, which meant her total loss was still 38…

Better not to calculate it at all.

Qiao Sang deluded herself, trying not to think about it anymore as she dialed her mother back. Her mother didn’t ask about the exam but only inquired when she’d return.

Since her mother didn’t ask, Qiao Sang also didn’t mention it—after all, the middle school examination results weren’t confirmed yet, and it was best to avoid getting excited too early only to be disappointed later.

…

That night, at her desk in the room.

Qiao Sang was checking the answers of the practice tests she had just completed, which were from last year’s Hanwen City middle school exams.

Hanwen City and Hangkang City were both part of Zhehai Province, and aside from some differences in focus, the exam papers were largely similar.

After checking the answers, Qiao Sang sighed.

Though she had improved significantly, there were still many mistakes. With only one week left until the middle school exams, she figured she should return to school tomorrow, as discussing the correct thought processes for the wrong questions would be faster with others.

“Ya Ya.”

“Jiu, Jiu Jiu.”

Noises of the Fire-Toothed Dog and the Fat Home Pigeon playfully bickering came from the living room.

Hearing the sounds from the living room, Qiao Sang smiled; those two little ones were enjoying their playtime.

Half an hour later, having corrected all the questions, Qiao Sang opened up the shopping website.

She remembered the vice principal had asked for three Vitality Grass plants, two pounds of Shu Re Powder, seven ounces of Fire Nitrate, and six ounces of Red Honey.

[Vitality Grass]

Qiao Sang typed these two words.

Soon, the purchase page for Vitality Grass popped up.

Qiao Sang was taken aback.

3888.

Not giving up, she scrolled a few pages down, but the price was the same everywhere.

There’s no variability in price for this thing?!

Qiao Sang clicked on the option to sort by price from low to high.

At the top of the page, it boldly displayed the price of 38 Alliance Currency.

With such a huge price difference, could she dare to buy it?!

After hesitating a moment and grappling with the hope that she might get lucky, Qiao Sang still clicked through.

Looking at the reviews, all were bad.

[Did the merchant’s conscience get eaten by a dog? Is this really Vitality Grass?]

[I fed it to my Cotton Shame Rabbit, and it had diarrhea for a week, so thin now (picture)]

[What kind of Vitality Grass is this, just some weeds from who knows where!]

[Fake fake fake fake fake!!! Negative review negative review negative review negative review negative review!!!]

[I bought a real Vitality Grass for comparison, and I have to say, the imitation one is quite similar (image) (image)]

It really is a knockoff…

Qiao Sang searched for Shure Powder, Fire Nitrate, and Red Honey.

Shure Powder 2600, Fire Nitrate 6889, and Red Honey the cheapest at 1999 per pound.

This means giving the Fire-Toothed Dog a bath would soak up more than ten thousand Alliance Currency!

Qiao Sang silently shut down the computer.

The truth was, the middle school exams were more important right now. The matter with the Fire-Toothed Dog could wait, and besides, the Fire-Toothed Dog hated water and didn’t like baths…

10:32 PM.

The Fire-Toothed Dog had played until it fell asleep.

Qiao Sang habitually entered the Beast Taming Codex before going to sleep.

[Name: Fire-Toothed Dog]

[Attribute: Fire]

[Level: Beginner (136/1000) +]

[Skills: Bite and Hold (Beginner 74/100) +, Charge (Expert 204/500) +, Flame Tooth (Expert 188/500) +, Spark (Expert 256/500) +, Shadow Clone (Beginner 5/100)]

[Points 109]

Last time, the Fire-Toothed Dog fought three times at the thirty-seventh Beast Taming High School and gained 55 points, but this time it fought four times and only gained 54 points.

The points gained from each battle with a pet beast were different, so surely the bonus points were based on the strengths and weaknesses of the pet beasts.

After making an educated guess, Qiao Sang fell into a deep sleep.

Today was just too exhausting…

…

…

The next day.

Wencheng Middle School.

When Qiao Sang, backpack in tow, appeared in class 37, the room erupted.

“Holy shit, Qiao Sang, you actually came back!”

“Where have you been all this time instead of coming to class?”

“Go on, go on, watch how you speak, couldn’t there be something going on at home?”

“How are you talking? What do you mean something ‘going on at home’? Couldn’t it be an issue with relatives?”

“We all really missed you. Without you here, the teacher only scolds me and Fang Sisi,” said Guo Linze, who was perpetually second from the bottom of the class in terms of grades.

The teacher had basically given up on the student in last place.

Once the classmates finished expressing their feelings and dispersed, Fang Sisi said with a heavy heart, “Qiao Sang, you’ve changed.”

Qiao Sang was taken aback and asked, “How have I changed?”

“Before, you would tell me any good reason you had for taking leave. Now you’ve learned to sneak off on your own without taking me with you,” Fang Sisi said with a hint of grievance.

Qiao Sang: “…”

“I’ll take you with me next time.”

Fang Sisi shook her head, “What next time? There aren’t many days left at school. If I asked for leave, my mom would probably break my legs.”

“Right.” Fang Sisi leaned in closer, lowering her voice, “I have to tell you something, but you can’t spread it around.”

Qiao Sang, seeing how serious she was, nodded, “Go ahead.”

“The class teacher, annoyed about something last week, went to get a hair transplant, and then… haha.” Fang Sisi couldn’t help but laugh, “The anesthetic ended up being switched with hair removal solution.”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment before saying, “That’s impossible to mix up; don’t the two medicines have different colors?”

“The one who applied the anesthetic was Gigi Yan, a newly contracted pet beast of a dermatologist. It still isn’t quite familiar with these things,” Fang Sisi explained.

Qiao Sang asked, “How do you know about this?”

“You forgot? My mom is a nurse there; she’s attended a parents’ meeting and has met the class teacher,” Fang Sisi replied.

Qiao Sang looked bemused. Couldn’t it be that the last time Fang Sisi mentioned the teacher’s toupee, that was what made him go for the transplant…

No wonder he stopped answering his phone and even turned it off…

This medical accident was somewhat serious.

After all, for middle-aged men, hair is life itself, especially for those who need to wear toupees.

“Tell me the truth, how many people have you told this to?” Qiao Sang asked suspiciously.

Fang Sisi looked slightly startled and began counting on her fingers, “Lü Siya, Chen Jinyan, Wu Huanjun, Guo Linze, Xie Jiayi, Chen Yu…”

Qiao Sang: “…”
