Chapter 740: Withering

~14 min read 2,724 words

The page refreshed, and quickly gave an answer:

【If you want waterproofing, you have to use specialized waterproof materials.】

Leaving Little Xunbao aside for now, Lubao is in water all day, and Like Ya Bao she often holds in her arms — the two of them must be waterproof... she should bring it up with Director Li later... Qiao Sang thought as she put away her phone.

Suddenly, a voice rang out abruptly on the quiet street:

"Looks like you two are having a pleasant chat."

Qiao Sang looked toward the sound.

She saw that where there had been no one by the wall corner, a woman who looked about twenty-five or twenty-six had appeared. She was about 168 centimeters tall, wearing a light blue stand-collar long dress with lotus-leaf edges, her golden hair slightly curled and draped over her shoulders, her light blue eyes carrying a faintly playful smile as she looked this way.

"You are?" Qiao Sang's tone rose, expressing her confusion.

"Director of the Medical School, Liz North." The woman walked over.

Director of the Medical School? That young?! Qiao Sang's eyes were full of shock.

Confirming the surrounding coordinates... then connecting them...

After a pause, you continue:

"Good evening." Bing Ai said, peering inside: "Did Senior Ivana come?"

"It's your own appearance — you're just using your pet beast's skill to maintain yourself at around 25 years old for a short time." Director Liz glanced, not very subtly, at Bing Ai's backpack: "Not interested in chatting?"

……

Lubao, who had just been about to poke its head out to express that it was full, heard its beast master's words and pulled its head back in again.

One minute earlier, Bing Ai had appeared again in the original private room of Yiwei Restaurant, only having switched to a different dining companion.

Director Liz was completely thrown off by those two words.

Like Ya Bao and Little Qiao Sang rushed to the energy pellets at the same time, happily eating them with great relish.

Just at that moment, the doorbell rang.

Actually, it wasn't that she hadn't heard of the other party — after all, in her impression, the director of a medical school should look like someone the public could trust. But the person before her, while appearing mature and steady, didn't have a trustworthy appearance.

"Your students' pets' super-tier skills aren't like Healing Light, which can solve a creature's condition problems."

Yuan Xue stopped her: "You two eat, I'll go open the door."

When it was about to disperse at the highest point, Little Qiao Sang showed a hesitant expression.

Little Qiao Sang recalled that human's words, and then recalled the pet beast that had demonstrated that move tonight — the blue light in its eyes grew denser.

No matter how you put it, the most serious injury Lubao had ever treated was that man with brain damage who had fallen into an endless sleep. After treating him, Lubao was clearly drained...

"Xunxun?"

Is Healing Light hard to improve? Clearly, when she had just contracted Lubao, its Healing Light was already at the perfect level... Bing Ai said she was greatly shocked.

After casually ordering a few dishes, Director Liz finally got down to business:

Bing Ai asked a staff member a few quick questions, then came to a screen, clicked on the keyword search on the right, and typed in: 【Rare Pet Beasts】. Immediately, a row of related books appeared.

"Those two types of Healing Light can't heal that."

"Yaya?"

"Do you have any other requests?" Director Liz asked again.

Ordinary people, even if they contract a terminal illness, simply don't have the ability to find anyone from Yuliandun Medical School to treat them. Those who can find them for treatment are all people from the top circles... Bing Ai's heart stirred, and she said:

The staff member looked up, glanced at the book's cover, and said: "1 point per day."

"How could that be." Bing Ai placed Gangbao's portion of energy pellets in front of it and said: "Your Healing Light has already reached the ultimate level — treatment is just an instant, very fast."

Before she had even finished speaking, Little Yuan Xue understood. A blue light rose in its eyes.

"And they can't replace the function of Healing Light either."

Most importantly, she knew that the directors of other schools would sooner or later appear before her.

"Thank you." Bing Ai took the book from the tray, went to the registration desk, and said: "I'd like to borrow a book."

Other schools not having it, she could believe — but this was Yuliandun University, ranked third in the stars, one of the world's top medical schools. It should have gathered the most impressive talents in the medical field.

Lubao half-opened one eye, saw Chanchan Stone's movement, and closed it again.

"You think I'm too young to be a director?"

"Some of them specialize in treating aging, some specialize in treating congenital hereditary diseases."

Inside the living room.

Suddenly, a Chanchan Stone beside her tugged at Little Qiao Sang's arm, its face full of curiosity, asking what the white thing on her body was.

Seeing Little Qiao Sang's serious look, Chanchan Stone believed it somewhat.

"Xunbao~"

Their pet beasts couldn't possibly not have super-tier healing skills.

She had had that guess, but it hadn't reached the point of being spoken aloud... Bing Ai silently continued the thought in her heart.

"Chanchan."

"Xunxun."

Yuan Xue added: "So actually, if you let me treat a few more terminal patients a day, I wouldn't have any problem at all."

"May I ask how proficient your Xunxun Palu's Healing Light is?"

"Yaya!"

……

"Of course." Bing Ai answered patiently: "With money, they can have better resources and grow quickly."

"I heard you have a Yuan Xue Palu?"

But this was Yuliandun University — surely no one would be bold enough to impersonate the director of a school.

How much?!

At that time, Lu Bao called out once, indicating that going for treatment would delay its training time.

"Deal?" Bing Ai became interested and asked, "What is it?"

Dean Liz said, "You know too little about Blue Star's pet beasts. As for Xunxun Palu's pet beast, no one's mentioned it to you recently either…"

"For now, a Great Accomplishment-level Healing Light treating one terminally ill patient per day is honestly the limit."

"100 points per session." Dean Liz said, "There aren't many terminally ill patients outside. He treats one, you give him 100 points."

"Chanchan?"

"Whatever you want to eat, just order it." Dean Liz said.

Bing Ai gave an "Mm."

"There naturally aren't any medical professors or students with super-tier healing skills, but even if healing skills all belong to the super tier, their healing specializations are all different."

"Special illnesses can't be treated with Healing Light." Dean Liz continued, "The ones that use Healing Light are all these terminal illnesses."

Little Qiao Sang started arguing with it.

No impression at all!

Her own limited quota card was about to expire, and the cash from two investments hadn't been settled yet. This was definitely a chance to make money.

A Great Accomplishment-level Healing Light treating one terminally ill patient per day was understandable.

Vice Principal… you said you'd already eaten tonight… Bing Ai fell silent for a moment, walked to the dining table, and picked up chopsticks.

Dean Liz's expression turned serious:

A light breeze blew in through the window, and the curtains swayed slightly.

"Treasure Hunt!"

Yuan Xiu's eyes went wide.

After exchanging contact information, Dean Liz suddenly thought of something and asked:

"That amount per session."

"This morning after school I attended an activity at the Spirit Pattern Club. I'm right here."

I still have over 400 points… Bing Ai, flush with cash, pulled out her student card: "Okay."

Time passed second by second.

In the dim living room, the spirit patterns on its body faintly glowed with a white light.

Dean Liz glanced over, nodded without the slightest hesitation, and said, "10 million is 10 million."

The invisible barrier vanished in an instant.

Regret!

"If you have any other requests, feel free to mention them."

……

"No." Bing Ai shook her head quickly.

Late at night.

"I believe you understand as well. The higher the difficulty of Healing Light's treatment, the more time and energy it consumes."

Dean Virginia looked at the mysterious white spirit patterns covering Ghost Ring King's entire body and raised an eyebrow slightly: "Looks like Dean Li from the Spirit Pattern Academy has come to find you."

"Has Dean Gilbert from your academy come to find you?"

Bing Ai shook her head: "No."

I should have poached Bing Ai to the Medical Academy!

Seeing this, Bing Ai put down her chopsticks, formed hand seals with both hands, and summoned Steel Treasure.

Bing Ai glanced at it, and finally clicked on "Rare Pet Beasts · Complete."

At that time, Lu Bao couldn't use the golden finger yet…

Dean Liz raised one finger.

Dean Liz took out her phone as she spoke: "Let's exchange contact info then. When the time comes, we'll set an appointment, and I'll send you the patient's information."

"Treasure Hunt!"

Qiao Sang was just about to nod when she heard her say meaningfully:

"To patients, Healing Light is like a divine skill. A pet beast with this skill is born to heal the wounded and rescue the dying."

That's not right. Logically speaking, Dean Gilbert should be the one who most wants to keep Bing Ai. Why hasn't he made a move yet…

Steel Treasure habitually went to open the door.

Little Qiao Sang didn't give up, and her expression became serious again.

Good fellow, is there something special about the spirit patterns Dean Li drew? She could tell at a glance… Bing Ai gave an "Mm":

"Chanchan?"

A Great Accomplishment-level Healing Light, honestly speaking, I really haven't seen one before…

Chanchan Shi's face was full of disbelief.

Suddenly, beneath the tea table, the white flower that was still in full bloom withered in an instant.

And at this time, Lu Bao's Healing Light had already reached the Ultimate level…

It just couldn't make the brain any smarter.

"I'll let you go handle your own matters." Dean Virginia said as she stepped inside, "You've just become a graduate student, and you have a lot to do. As for teaching Ghost Ring King…"

Lu Bao fell silent for a moment, showing a puzzled expression.

Dean Liz's eyes lit up slightly:

When she said this, she sighed:

For those in the top circles, money was just a pile of numbers. Asking for 100,000 per session was probably too high; 1 million should be more reasonable… After a brief thought, Bing Ai extended one finger:

Xunxun Palu nodded, indicating she understood, then went over to the Energy Balls and started eating them with her head raised.

"Do you want to know if his Yu Xue Xunxun Palu has it too?"

Qiao Sang felt she understood: "So you're not in your original appearance right now?"

Is 100 points very valuable?

"Goodnight." Dean Virginia smiled and walked back.

Bing Ai looked toward the dining table and saw dishes still emitting cold air, along with several plates of Energy Balls.

Bing Ai left the cafeteria, recalled that she didn't know enough about rare pet beasts, and headed there.

Bing Ai said: "It's used up, you haven't eaten your fill…"

Not perceptive enough… Bing Ai didn't speak, which counted as tacit agreement.

"Xunbao…"

"Hasn't anyone told you that Xunxun Palu's primary form, Shui Lu Ya Na, has the talent skill Healing Light?"

Standing at the door was Dean Virginia of the Journalism College.

So regretful!

Yu Xue is not to be underestimated.

100 points at a time?!

"Steel Slash."

Is money really that important?

Chanchan Stone showed a puzzled expression.

"Because our Medical College has plenty of pet beasts that can alter a person's mental state and appearance."

Just as she was thinking, Dean Liz's voice came:

Ever since learning the other party was a dean, she had subconsciously switched from "you" to the honorific "you."

A minute earlier, a mechanical-system pet beast with what looked like a tray on its back had flown over from midair, flapping its mechanical wings, carrying that book.

The withered flower petals that had just taken shape on the coffee table scattered apart.

The library was hemispherical, with bookshelves arranged on both sides of the circular hall, extending from the stairs to the seats all the way up to the ceiling, every layer packed with books.

Bing Ai was moved, but didn't agree right away, instead asking: "The Medical College has so many people — surely there are pet beasts with high-tier skills like Healing Light?"

Dean Liz picked up her coffee, took a sip, then set it down, looked deeply at Bing Ai, and said:

This one's here for Xunbao… Bing Ai nodded: "Yes."

Dean Virginia didn't expose Dean Li's intention, and instead asked:

"Chanchan…"

Inside the Yu Lian Dun library.

"Xunxun…"

Bing Ai: "!!!"

"Our college does have two professors whose pet beasts know Healing Light, but unfortunately their proficiency is really hard to raise — even now, these two pet beasts are only at the Great Accomplishment level."

Dean Liz instantly understood what Qiao Sang's eyes meant, and asked with a smile:

Were there anyone this young among the nine big shots at the freshman reception area back then?

"Xunbao…"

Little Qiao Sang was stunned at first, then her eyes returned to golden, and she excitedly floated toward the ceiling, spinning around several times in agitation.

Little Qiao Sang got startled, her eyes returned to their original golden color, and she looked at Chanchan Stone with an expression that said "don't touch me again."

Little Qiao Sang's eyes once again glowed blue, staring intently at the white flower.

The white patterns on its body emitted a faint glow.

Yu Xue and Like Ya Bao both looked at their claws, baffled.

"Yu Xue~"

Dean Liz was absolutely heartbroken!

"Speak." Dean Liz said painfully: "How much money do you want?"

At that moment, a well-dressed pet beast came in carrying two cups of coffee, and set them on the table.

The invisible barrier once again closed inward from around the white flower.

The sound abruptly stopped.

Dean Liz was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly said: "Looks like it's not just Dean Li and I who have come to find you."

Really, it already felt it was about to learn it!

Little Qiao Sang pointed at her head with a paw.

"Xunxun."

"Xunbao."

Spoke too soon!

Its eyes darted, then it thought of something, quietly went to Bing Ai's bedroom, tiptoed onto the desk, picked up a pen, and drew several strokes on its own body.

"Good!" Bing Ai nimbly took out her phone.

Coming out of the library, Bing Ai glanced at the time on her phone, then turned to look at Little Qiao Sang.

"I want points, I want money."

Bing Ai: "!!!"

Inside the water tank.

Saying so, she went to open the door.

Convenient, so convenient... Yuan Xue answered: "Profound Truth."

Is this going to be a moral kidnapping... Bing Ai said warily: "You and Lu Bao are both interested in healing the wounded and rescuing the dying."

What is comprehension?

A flash of understanding passed through Dean Virginia's eyes.

The next second, you found yourself standing in the living room of the villa.

"Treasure hunt!"

At the same time, a tangible barrier began to close inward from around the white flower, gradually enclosing it...

Qiao Sang's eyes glowed blue as she stared intently at the white flower under the coffee table.

"Since he's interested in those words, you should tell him something practical. You're not here to poach him for the medical school, you're here to make a deal with him."

That thing can boost its comprehension, let it learn Spatial Lock faster — if it gets knocked off, it's over!

The rich aroma of food rushed into her nostrils.

"There are so few patients with terminal illnesses, but there's no limit to the number of pets with Healing Light. That's why you're here to deal with him."

Although points are important, what she needed most right now was still cash.

Ya Bao was still baffled.
