Surviving in the Beast World with a System-Chapter 198: Veterinarian is a Good Profession

Wu Yue held up her own scrawny hands. "System, I’ve lived my whole life without ever killing so much as a chicken, and now you want me to perform surgery?"

The System rubbed its head, looking a bit sheepish. "Host, my hands are tied. You just examined them yourself. They’re already running fevers. If this continues, they definitely won’t last more than a few days."

The System droned on and on, trying its best to persuade her, but when it finally finished, its host had gone completely silent.

"Host? Host? My beautiful, magnanimous, cute, and clever Host?"

Flattery, it seemed, worked like an @-mention. Wu Yue, who had been so quiet it was as if she’d dropped dead on the spot, actually responded.

"What do you want?"

System: "Were you even listening to me?"

Wu Yue shot it a glare. "System, you just told me to cut the rotting flesh off all the Half-beastman Warriors, but..."

After a moment’s hesitation, she pulled a shell knife from the pack at her side and said, utterly speechless, "I don’t even have the right tools. You’re not seriously planning for me to cut away their rotting flesh with a shell knife, are you...?"

’Are you sure you don’t have some kind of grudge against these Half-beastman Warriors from the Black Wolf Tribe?’

She had a feeling that if she dared to use a shell knife on them, those Half-beastman Warriors would return the favor by sending her to an early grave.

The System’s eyes lit up, sensing a business opportunity. "Host, the System Mall has a surgical scalpel set for sale! It’s only ten points. You can’t lose, you can’t be cheated. How about it?"

Wu Yue was at her wit’s end. "So you really are a bunch of vultures."

She heaved a deep sigh. "Can I get a kitchen knife instead?"

System: "Are you sure, Host? With a kitchen knife, there’s no guarantee of precision."

Wu Yue scoffed. "And you think a total klutz like me is guaranteed to be precise with a scalpel? If I buy a kitchen knife, at least I can use it for cooking after the surgery. If I buy a scalpel set, am I supposed to use it to slice meat later on?"

System: "How did I end up with such an unambitious Host? Once you’ve achieved some status, will you still be wielding a kitchen knife? With a scalpel in hand, the world is yours! Don’t you have even a shred of that lofty ambition?"

Wu Yue sneered, "Oh, I’ve got a bear’s ambition... to hibernate through the winter."

System: "DING~ Congratulations, Host, on purchasing one surgical scalpel set! Please feel free to sprint down the glorious path to becoming a veterinarian!"

Wu Yue: "What the hell! When did I say I wanted to buy that?"

System: "Host, your tribesmen are here..."

As soon as it spoke, the voice vanished.

"Yue, I just heard something..."

Yuan Qi’s expression wasn’t good; in fact, it was downright grim.

Wu Yue stood up and looked at him. "Uncle Yuan Qi, what is it?"

A few of the surrounding Beastmen also came forward, their faces grim. "When we went to get water just now, we overheard some members of the Black Wolf Tribe talking. The Half-beastman Warriors assigned to our Snow Tiger Tribe... they’re all ones the Black Wolf Witch has already given up on."

In truth, the Beastmen understood wounds that rotted and oozed pus better than anyone.

Witch power could save these Half-beastman Warriors, but a witch’s power is finite, as is the number of tribe members they can treat.

That was why the Black Wolf Witch had asked the other tribes for help. While the witch medicine brewed by a Witch Disciple couldn’t heal such wounds completely, it could buy the injured more time to wait for the witch’s treatment.
