Chapter 155: Scheming
Liu Ming knew that the food of ghosts was human souls.
He was very scared; he was very scared of ghosts devouring his soul.
The fear of death pressed down on him like a large stone, suffocating him.
His heart felt like it was about to explode.
His head was buzzing, and he felt like the ghost had already begun to devour his soul.
“Do you want me to leave your body?”
“Please, spare me!”
Liu Ming’s tears and snot flowed uncontrollably due to fear.
His life had just begun, and he felt like his future was bright.
He had just met a girl he liked, and she had taken a liking to him upon learning he was related to Song Tiantian and that her family owned a shop.
“Yes, but you have to help me find a more suitable host, and the sooner the better. You know, if it takes too long, I won’t be able to control myself, and I don’t know how much of your mental power will be left.”
“I’ll go find one for you right now. Song Jun has already broken through to become a two-star beast tamer; he’s definitely much more excellent than me.”
Liu Ming’s mind instantly recalled Song Jun’s name.
Song Jun wasn’t familiar with him; he was only familiar with Song Tiantian and Song Ranran. When visiting relatives during the New Year, he wouldn’t go to Song Jun’s house.
Besides, Song Jun was also a man. It was normal for men to occasionally meet up for a drink, but if he were to ask Song Jing out, it would be very strange.
“Yes! Just have him drink this.”
A transparent small glass bottle landed in front of Liu Ming.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Liu Ming picked up a bottle of wine and poured the liquid from the small bottle into the wine.
He wiped his tears and immediately went to ask Song Jun out.
Song Jun was also looking to talk to Liu Ming.
He felt that the previous secret realm trip was a complete waste. Now he felt he had accumulated a lot of experience and definitely wouldn’t waste it.
He also wanted to go to the secret realm with Song Tiantian again.
But he couldn’t see Song Tiantian at all, and he didn’t have Song Tiantian’s contact information.
Even Song Ranran didn’t have Song Tiantian’s contact information.
He didn’t even have a way to make small talk.
He didn’t even know where Song Tiantian’s office was.
It was said to be on the eighteenth floor, and one needed a management-level work card to get up.
Normally, the Pet Beast Center was managed by Shen Qing, an outsider with no particular skills. In his opinion, if he were in charge, things would be different.
Unfortunately, Song Tiantian usually just buried her head in practice and rarely went out.
All major and minor matters of the Pet Beast Center were handled by Shen Qing. Even Song Tiantian’s older sister, Song Ranran, followed Shen Qing’s lead.
Only the Pet Beast Medical Department was directly managed by Tang Tan. After all, the people there were top students, most of whom were graduate students, and the worst were graduates from key universities.
Song Jun also recognized the strength of that department, as he had been treated there for both his pet beast’s illness and his own. Employees could directly get fifty percent of their medical expenses reimbursed.
Furthermore, it was close by. There were no other hospitals nearby; one would have to go to Qingshan City, which was too far and inconvenient.
Therefore, the medical department also had a separate clinic for people, which was crowded every day with people seeking treatment.
After all, there were quite a few people here, and quite a few people would get sick.
Shen Qing had also hired several professional physicians.
However, in Song Jun’s opinion, although these physicians were professionals for treating people, they were only good for minor ailments, like a small rural clinic’s level, knowing a little about everything but not specializing.
For serious illnesses and surgeries, one still needed the doctors who treated pet beasts.
At least many people Song Jun knew had been cured by physicians who treated pet beasts. For major surgeries, they were essential. However, to have them treat you, you had to sign an agreement.
Otherwise, you would just get an IV drip at the clinic and then apply to the supervisor for a car to be dispatched to Qingshan City for treatment.
However, those who went to Qingshan City for treatment reported that the medical skills there were not as good as here, and the medical expenses were also extremely expensive.
Song Jun’s father had always been in poor health. He had been treated at many hospitals in Qingshan City without success, but here, it only cost him thirty to fifty thousand, and they cured him with ease.
Song Jun later learned that this was actually a research base, and most of the doctors here were beast tamers, so the physicians here were all very powerful, with techniques at the forefront of Flower Country.
This information was a rumor, but Dr. Bai was part of the Pet Beast Center and had developed groundbreaking medicine, so Song Jun believed this rumor to be true.
Moreover, when he himself was injured, he was healed quickly. Normal treatment would take ten to fifteen days for a wound to heal, but here, using pet beast skills, it could heal in moments, although it was quite draining. Only beast tamers could be treated this way.
For ordinary people, treatment was determined by their physique, whether it was fast or slow.
If slow, the wound could be healed over several days in a few sessions.
To be honest, Song Jun had a high degree of recognition for this place and hoped to settle here.
Commercial housing had already begun to be built along the perimeter wall of the Pet Beast Center.
It was said that they planned to build a ring of commercial housing now. The price was not expensive, at cost price, six thousand per square meter, and it was even finely decorated. It was said that the mountain-view houses were even cheaper, with beautiful scenery, only five thousand per square meter, because the outer areas were more dangerous.
Currently, Song Jun lived in a shop, but this shop was very small and couldn’t be expanded. Unlike Song Jing’s family, the shop they rented was like a small villa, where they could live upstairs, and the rooms were spacious.
Unlike his home, which was tiny.
Song Jun thought that when the houses were built, he would buy one.
Dangerous, why be afraid of such cheap residences?
It was very easy for him to earn this money.
Just one trip out with Song Tiantian could earn him enough for over ten such commercial housing units; these small amounts of money were easy.
This Liu Ming was from Song Tiantian’s mother’s side of the family and had a good relationship with Mother Song. They were all relatives, so it was fine to get acquainted.
“Brother Song, come have a drink. We’re both in sales, so we don’t connect much. Let’s keep in touch more often from now on.”
Liu Ming opened two bottles, one for himself and one for Song Jun, and poured Song Jun a glass of wine.
“Liu Ming, we’re actually distant cousins. You don’t mind if I call you cousin, do you?”
Song Jun, unsuspecting, drank while talking to Liu Ming.
Seeing Song Jun take a sip of wine, Liu Ming felt a sense of relief. He said to Song Jun, “Brother Song, you are my real brother. Forget cousin; we are brothers from now on.”
Because he felt a bit guilty, he spoke to Song Jun with exceptional politeness.
He had no choice; if Song Jun didn’t die, he would.
