"My Frost Dragon has recently fallen into a weakened state, its strength is only 80% of usual."
Fang Si explained the condition: "Also, it can't swallow or absorb food and medicine."
The doctor took out a bunch of instruments and kept testing the Frost Dragon's physical indicators—this is professionalism!
"Preliminary judgment is that it swallowed something from another space."
The doctor frowned slightly, made a temporary conclusion, and handed out a form, saying, "Go to the hematology department to test the blood composition!"
Fang Si nodded, took the form, and recalled the Frost Dragon.
The three left the consultation room. Chen Shu boasted, "I'm quick at queuing, right?"
"Fast! But don't hang out with us tomorrow; I'm afraid a whole group will gang up on you."
"..." Chen Shu touched his chin and said, "Really?"
At the same time, he had a bad feeling and decided to stay in the hotel tomorrow.
...
...
The three arrived at the hematology department and were lining up when suddenly a girl walked up.
Fang Si immediately recognized her and called out, "Xiao Qinghan!"
The girl suddenly looked over.
"It's you!"
Chen Shu and Zhang Dali spoke in unison, surprised to meet Wang Qinghan even at the hospital.
"Fang Si? You guys?"
Wang Qinghan was also shocked and immediately remembered.
"You know each other?"
Fang Si raised her brow, looking at the three of them.
Chen Shu grinned: "Of course we know her, Loan King, Qinghan."
"..." Wang Qinghan's smile faltered, saying, "I'm Wang Qinghan, and you're the Loan King."
"We came here by train with her," Zhang Dali sized up Fang Si and Wang Qinghan and asked, "How do you two know each other?"
"We played together since we were kids, but Qinghan moved away later."
Chen Shu's eyes widened: "Fang Si, didn't you grow up playing with us?"
Fang Si pursed her lips: "Back then, you two were still playing in the mud while peeing. I didn't want to play with you."
Wang Qinghan covered her mouth and laughed, surprised at the coincidence.
"By the way, Qinghan, why are you at Huaxia Hospital? Is your contracted beast having problems?"
Wang Qinghan sighed: "I borrowed a high-interest loan and joined the underground spirit fighting arena in Nanjiang City to repay it. Although I won a big prize, my contracted beast was badly injured."
Chen Shu and Zhang Dali exchanged glances, surprised she actually paid off the loan—they thought she had run away.
"It's fine. Huaxia Hospital can fix it; it won't affect your studies," Fang Si comforted, "You're probably in senior year now?"
Wang Qinghan nodded: "Yes, after the summer break, I start senior year."
"Keep it up! If you get into a good school, your pressure will be much less."
Fang Si's tone was gentle, unlike usual: "If you need anything, you can always contact me. You have my number."
Wang Qinghan said: "No need for now. I have money now. Nanjiang No. 2 High School gave me a good transfer fee."
"Huh?"
Chen Shu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Nanjiang No. 2? Transfer fee?"
"Yeah, I was originally at Nanjiang No. 1, but Nanjiang No. 2 paid for me to transfer into their special training class."
"Wait! Wait! Let me get this straight!"
Chen Shu's mouth twitched: "So the school leaders at Nanjiang No. 2 paid you to come study in the special training class?"
"Exactly," Wang Qinghan nodded.
Damn, the school leaders must be crazy, paying to get someone to use school resources?
Our own students worked so hard to get into the special training class.
Wang Qinghan said: "I heard they also recruited other students."
Chen Shu frowned: "What's your talent level? Is it really worth paying for?"
"Maybe because my beast-taming talent is outstanding, and my contracted beast is A-grade."
"Then that makes sense!" Chen Shu felt this was self-inflicted humiliation.
Beast-taming talents are ranked ordinary, excellent, outstanding, and extraordinary! The higher the talent, the more efficient the beast-taming cultivation.
Wang Qinghan will definitely become a level 9 beast tamer before the college entrance exam, similar to Xu Xiaoyu, a potential Huaxia Academy candidate.
It seems Nanjiang No. 2 was driven crazy by the previous senior class. If this year's exam fails again, it might never recover.
Wang Qinghan waved the blood test form: "Fang Si, I'm going to see the doctor now."
"Alright, talk later!"
Watching Wang Qinghan leave, Fang Si turned and said: "From now on, Xiao Qinghan is part of your school. Take good care of her."
"Her parents were level 8 beast tamers, but died in another space when she was in middle school. She's been supporting herself and her sister with part-time jobs all these years."
Zhang Dali nodded: "Don't worry, Fang Si! Whether the second school is chaotic or not, Naughty Chen calls the shots!"
Chen Shu's mouth twitched: "Calls the shots my ass! With her talent, does she need me to look after her?"
One is the bottom of the special training class; the other is a transferred top student. Are they comparable?
Fang Si pursed her lips: "Come on, I feel like something's off with you. You went from ordinary to level 6 beast tamer in a month. Huaxia Academy doesn't even have people like that."
Chen Shu sighed helplessly: "Alright, I'll try to take good care of her!"
Soon, the Frost Dragon's blood was drawn and analyzed. The doctor concluded:
The contracted beast swallowed some unknown spirit fruit from another space. After some time digesting it, not only will it be fine, but its power will increase.
Fang Si breathed a sigh of relief: "The school's fine for now. Tomorrow I'll take you guys around Kyoto."
"The day after tomorrow, that's better."
Chen Shu said he'd honestly stay in the hotel tomorrow.
Fang Si smiled: "I thought you were really brave."
Then Fang Si called Wang Qinghan, only to learn she needed to stay at the hospital to care for her contracted beast and couldn't leave yet.
"Go eat lunch first!"
"You guys eat, I'm heading back to the hotel!"
Chen Shu looked around, grabbed his boxed meal, and left.
He had diagnosed dozens of patients this morning, including some silver-grade strong ones—he couldn't afford to be afraid!
Some things are like that: not wanting to think about them is fine, but the more you do, the scarier it gets.
Early the day after tomorrow,
Fang Si drove to the hotel entrance.
Chen Shu and Zhang Dali packed their luggage and left the hotel.
Fang Si smiled: "Naughty Chen, still alive?"
Chen Shu twitched his nose: "Safe for now, just sneezed all day yesterday."
He probably got scolded a lot yesterday.
"Let's go. I'll take you to Taixing Mountain in Kyoto!"
The three dashed off.
Taixing Mountain is a famous tourist spot near Kyoto. Most visitors from other places come to see it.
Chen Shu glanced at Zhang Dali's phone screen: "Dali, watching a live stream?"
Zhang Dali was completely focused.
Chen Shu leaned over and saw a sweet-looking girl live streaming cooking.
He sighed and patted Zhang Dali seriously.
"Watching her a hundred times won't make her yours, but reading a book a hundred times will make the knowledge yours. Wake up, our mission is to build the country!"
