Chapter 100: Another Pet Beast on the Brink of Starvation
“Tiantian, you’re finally out of seclusion. You have no idea how busy the Pet Beast Center has been lately. Ever since Liu Zheng went in, business at our Pet Beast Center’s Medical Department has suddenly boomed. Beast Tamers bring their Pet Beasts to see a doctor every day. There are many difficult and complicated cases that the subordinates can’t handle, and they’re all waiting for your guidance!”
Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at Song Tiantian, who had finally finished her cultivation.
If it were an ordinary person, he could have directly referred them to the provincial Pet Beast Medical Department.
However, the person who came was not an ordinary person; they were a provincial Beast Tamer from Qingcheng.
The reason was that Gongsun Yu had his Vermilion Bird cured here, and they came by reputation, specifically requesting Song Tiantian to lead the treatment.
He wasn’t like Dr. Bai. Although he was the Director here, he also wanted to climb higher and build his connections.
Moreover, offending these Big Bosses would bring him no good in the future.
What’s more, Song Tiantian had requested leave, so he could only ask the other party to wait a few more days.
They obediently waited.
He was so worried that his hair was almost falling out. He didn’t have much hair on his head to begin with.
“No, Director Shen, I’m just an assistant to Dr. Bai. You can’t think too highly of me. I haven’t been studying for long, and Dr. Bai isn’t even at the Pet Beast Center often now.”
Song Tiantian said to Director Shen speechlessly.
She really didn’t have that much ability. Half of it was thanks to the Pet Beast Manual, and the other half was her ability to hear the Inner Voice of Pet Beasts.
Director Shen couldn’t treat her as omnipotent.
After all, the physicians here had also studied for many years, attending university for four years and undergoing several years of training afterward, possessing a certain Strength.
In fact, they could completely be given a practical opportunity.
“My dear Tiantian! Pet Beasts nowadays are the apple of a Beast Tamer’s eye. Everyone hopes their Pet Beast can suffer less and be treated as quickly as possible. Zhang Guixia now only trusts you and no one else. Every time she comes for treatment, she asks if you are here. If you’re not, she won’t proceed with the treatment.
Hurry and come with me! This time, the patient is a Flying Rat. The physician has been administering nutrient solution all day, but there’s been no reaction, and its body temperature is getting lower and lower. If you don’t go soon, it’ll really be too late.”
Shen Qing said as he pulled Song Tiantian and ran quickly.
Shen Qing was sweating profusely as he ran. He looked back and saw Song Tiantian walking leisurely, not even out of breath.
He knew this was the difference in Strength between him and Song Tiantian.
He originally thought his Strength had increased a lot after contracting a Sprite with blue Talent, but compared to Song Tiantian, it was nothing.
As Song Tiantian walked over, she immediately saw the purple Flying Rat.
【 I’m so hungry! 】
【 Crazy woman, you won’t give me meat and feed me beans every day! 】
【 Why am I so unlucky to have contracted such a Beast Tamer! 】
【 I want to eat meat! 】
【 I want to eat meat, I don’t want to eat grass. 】
【 Eating grass is fine too! Why only give me such a small amount! 】
······
Another Pet Beast on the verge of starvation. This was the second time Song Tiantian had encountered a Pet Beast driven mad by hunger.
The Pet Beast’s Owner was a young girl wearing a simple white casual outfit. Although her features were average, her temperament was exceptional, and her eyes were very bright. She didn’t seem like a malicious Beast Tamer who would starve her Pet Beast.
Furthermore, she was accompanied by two bodyguard Beast Tamers.
This setup didn’t suggest someone who couldn’t afford Pet Beast Food Rations.
“You must be Teacher Song! It’s like this, my Mental Power is very weak, so my family got me a Larval Stage Pet Beast. It was fine when I first started raising it, but as it grew, it became more and more hateful towards me, and its attitude towards me has always been bad.
I thought it was my weak Mental Power that was holding it back and making it unhappy.
After drinking Cold Fragrance Number Two, my Mental Power became much stronger than that of an ordinary Beast Tamer, and I’ve been wanting to tame it.
But for some reason, its body has become weaker and weaker. Now it barely moves, and I can feel its aura fading.”
The girl started crying as she spoke.
Song Tiantian didn’t recognize her, but she recognized Song Tiantian. Song Tiantian had been on the news, and she had seen Song Tiantian’s videos.
Song Tiantian didn’t speak. Instead, she took out a piece of Fierce Beast Jerky she usually made for herself from her Pet Beast Space. This was her snack, and it was also something that most carnivorous Fierce Beasts liked.
Although this thing was a rat, it actually liked to eat meat.
Moreover, this was Song Tiantian’s specially made jerky, which was more delicious than ordinary Pet Beast Food.
The Flying Rat, which looked like its body had stiffened, suddenly opened its eyes. It shakily tried to stand up.
Song Tiantian walked up to it, pulled out the IV needle from its paw, and released the Flying Rat’s restraints. The Flying Rat didn’t resist or scratch Song Tiantian. It immediately took a few steps and walked to the jerky. Facing the palm-sized jerky, it began to tear at it furiously, swallowing large mouthfuls, its little cheeks puffing up as it ate, looking incredibly cute.
“Pet Beasts with Silver or higher Talent, like this one, have very strong bodies. Their physical condition is also very powerful, and they would absolutely not be this thin, with dry fur. Look, it’s so thin it’s almost unrecognizable. It’s clear from a glance that it’s malnutrition caused by long-term starvation.
I don’t know how you usually raise it, but it’s not sick; it’s just about to starve to death.
I think its bad attitude towards you is probably because it eats so little, hence its hostile attitude towards you.
Let me give you an analogy: if your parents never gave you food and only gave you water to sustain your life, I don’t think you’d be in a very good mood.
Also, for this type of rat-like Fierce Beast, many people think they should eat grains, feeding them rice, corn, and the like. However, Fierce Beasts with relatively strong Combat Power, under normal circumstances, except for plant-type Fierce Beasts, about ninety percent of them eat meat.”
Seeing the Flying Rat eating so heartily, the girl couldn’t help but reach out to pet it. To her surprise, the Flying Rat didn’t bite her.
Except for when the Flying Rat was just born and didn’t bite her when she touched it, as the Flying Rat grew, its attitude towards her became worse and worse.
“I’m so sorry! I didn’t know how to take care of you. When you were just born, the doctor said not to eat too much every day, so I followed the doctor’s instructions and gave you about a dozen grains of rice each day. I’m truly sorry. I’ll give you a good life from now on; I’ll make sure you eat meat every meal.”
The girl said to the Flying Rat with great self-reproach.
