"Your Doctor Chen is about to go online!"
Chen Shu put on the white coat, and his expression instantly became solemn and serious.
He swaggered into the consultation room and directly sat in the original doctor's seat.
"Doctor Wang has some urgent matters, so I'll be substituting for now. You can call me Doctor Chen!"
Chen Shu said earnestly.
No one would have expected that someone would be so bold as to impersonate a doctor at Huaxia Hospital.
"Doctor, why don't you have a name badge on your chest?"
The first woman in line asked, her face full of confusion.
"?"
Chen Shu was stunned—she was observant.
...
But his ability to think on his feet was no joke; he cleared his throat and said, "I'm temporarily covering for someone, just rushed here from home in a hurry and forgot it."
"Alright! Tell me about your illness... uh... your contract beast's illness!"
The woman nodded and summoned a small, pure white rabbit.
"Doctor, my contract beast has been very hot all over recently and seems a bit agitated."
Chen Shu stroked the rabbit's fur; the little thing was quite unique...
"No big deal, the weather in Kyoto has been too hot lately. Take it home and let it enjoy the air conditioning."
"??"
The woman looked puzzled and asked, "That's all?"
Chen Shu nodded, "That's all. If the condition worsens, just withdraw it back into the Beast Contract Space."
"Next!"
Sometimes, medical treatment is just that simple.
Suddenly remembering something, Chen Shu said to the woman, "By the way, come back tomorrow morning for a follow-up."
The vitality of contract beasts is extremely strong, and with the help of the Beast Contract Space—a real cheat—unless they die on the spot, they can slowly recover.
Zhu Dabai's contract beast was badly injured, right? But as long as it stayed in the Beast Contract Space, it could recover in half a year.
The main job of the beast doctors is just to shorten the healing time; delaying a day won't cause problems.
"Doctor, hello, my contract beast has been a bit emotionally agitated recently."
"No big deal, go home and show it some videos to relax and relieve stress; it will be fine soon."
"??"
"You've got question marks all over your face. I'm a doctor, just trust me!"
Chen Shu talked nonsense seriously, making people believe him.
"Right, if the condition worsens, withdraw it back to the Beast Contract Space, and remember to come back tomorrow for a checkup."
Chen Shu reminded everyone, since his task was just to send them away.
If there really was a contract beast that would die if delayed a day, that would be an emergency case right now.
At first, the others looked at him skeptically; is treating contract beasts really this simple?
But Chen Shu acted so convincingly, just like an experienced old doctor.
Watching each patient leave satisfied,
There was a look of relief in his eyes. Is this what it feels like to save all living beings?
The line grew shorter and shorter, and in the blink of an eye, fewer than ten people remained.
A man came forward and said, "Doctor, my contract beast has been a bit anorexic recently."
Chen Shu rolled his eyes and sighed, "I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear?"
The man tensed and said, "The good news."
"I've decided to name this illness after your contract beast."
"???"
The man's eyes widened in disbelief.
How could that be good news?
Besides, it's just a little loss of appetite; why make it sound so serious?
Chen Shu said, "For now, just put it in the Beast Contract Space and observe the situation. Come back tomorrow for a check-up!"
"Next!"
A student stepped forward and said, "Doctor, my contract beast has recently become like a splasher—it's been having diarrhea all the time."
Chen Shu patted the contract beast's head and spoke again.
"I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear?"
"Uh…" The student looked confused and cautiously said, "The bad news."
"Your condition is a bit serious; you might need a full examination to get a definite diagnosis. Come back tomorrow for a follow-up."
"What about the good news?"
"Good news? Wait a moment."
Chen Shu glanced at the nearly finished queue and took out his phone.
"Hey, Sister Fang Si, come over quickly. By the way, bring something for me…"
"Just wait a moment, next!"
Chen Shu proceeded with his routine of inspection and diagnosis, sending off the last few patients.
If it were a normal doctor, it might take a whole day, but Chen Shu finished in less than two hours.
"So tiring!"
Chen Shu stood up and stretched lazily.
After a while, Fang Si and the others arrived at the hospital.
The distance between the two places wasn't far; if they had been later, they might have missed him.
"How come so fast?"
Fang Si looked puzzled. Could it be that Huaxia Hospital isn't popular anymore?
"Naughty Chen, why are you wearing that outfit…"
"Shh!" Chen Shu gestured for silence and took the megaphone from Zhang Dali's hand.
"Come over here, good news is coming."
Chen Shu pointed to the last patient and pressed the record button on the megaphone.
"Good news! Good news! Our store is clearing stock! Everything is half price! Only half price!"
"Good news! Good news!…"
"All right, now you know the good news, right?" Chen Shu said seriously. "Go home and remember to come back tomorrow for a follow-up."
The student's eyes widened, black lines appearing on his forehead, and after looking Chen Shu over several times, he finally left.
So that was the good news?
[Reward received: Violent Butt Slam +1]
Chen Shu calmly took off the white coat.
"Naughty Chen, you?!"
Fang Si and Zhang Dali were both dumbfounded; they had seen ridiculous things but never something this ridiculous.
"You're really something else, aren't you afraid of delaying other people's medical care?"
"Don't worry, I know my limits. I told everyone to come back tomorrow for a follow-up."
Chen Shu shrugged and said, "With the Beast Contract Space, nothing will go wrong. Besides, many of them only have minor issues. Maybe just spending a day in the space will cure them."
"Why do you think there are so many rich people in Kyoto? Their contract beasts have diarrhea or poor appetite, yet they all come to Huaxia Hospital."
While the three were talking, a doctor in a white coat walked in.
He looked surprised and said, "Huh? Where are the patients?"
Fang Si and Zhang Dali both looked at Chen Shu, who said casually, "No clue."
"Are patients this impatient nowadays?"
The doctor shook his head, not paying much attention. It was just a good chance to rest today.
But he didn't know that the number of patients tomorrow would make him despair…
Because follow-up patients don't need to pay or register for diagnosis slips and will pile up with tomorrow's patients.
"Do you have any questions?" The doctor smiled.
Fang Si summoned the head of an Ice Frost Dragon, and the temperature in the consultation room dropped significantly.
"Dragon?"
The doctor's eyes opened wide, filled with surprise.
Beast tamers with dragon-type contract beasts are always rare; even Huaxia Hospital rarely sees them.
