Chapter 431: examine

The Hai City Pet Beast Battle Arena is not an ordinary Pet Beast Battle Arena; large-scale competitions like the Regional Competition are all held here.

Yu Beast Masters who can participate in the Regional Competition must at least have General-level Pets, so the damage to the venue is naturally more severe.

To avoid affecting the progress of the competition, facilities are prepared beneath the ground specifically for changing the venue.

The black and red, pockmarked ground slowly sank.

Then, an intact ground rose to the surface, as if nothing had happened.

Yi Ao stood on the blue panel and loudly announced the contestants for the next match.

At this moment, Qiao Sang, holding Ya Bao who was wearing a lightweight shrinking bracelet, had just returned to the contestant area.

The surrounding people’s gazes followed her, their expressions complex.

Just based on that Profound Level Mars Rain, no one would doubt that Qiao Sang would win first place in the division competition.

“Excellent work!” Sun Boyi put away his camera and looked at Qiao Sang, his eyes almost disappearing from his smile.

Although he was a reserved person, he truly couldn’t be reserved at all when it came to a genius like Qiao Sang.

Xu Yixuan glanced at Sun Boyi and silently shifted her gaze.

She had known Sun Teacher for nearly three years; she had never seen him smile like that, it was simply unbearable to watch.

Sun Boyi asked with a smile, “The semi-finals are at 6 PM tonight. After watching this match, do you want to go to the Yu Beast Center to give your Pet a comprehensive recovery check-up?”

After each competition, contestants would go to the Yu Beast Center for comprehensive Healing and recovery for their Pets. Qiao Sang, relying on her Lu Bao, had never been there since the competition began.

The semi-finals are tonight… Qiao Sang looked at the time on her phone, 10:28 AM.

She nodded, “Okay.”

…

Hai City Yu Beast Center.

“I absolutely will not switch shifts!” The young man on the phone wore a white lab coat, black-rimmed glasses, and had messy hair.

“Doctor Wang, please! My husband was hit by a car, and none of our relatives or friends are here. Only I can take care of him, I really can’t not go!” The voice on the other end of the phone said in a pitiful tone.

“I have an appointment to meet my girlfriend’s parents tonight. If I don’t go, my girlfriend will break up with me.” The young man said firmly, “I can’t switch, I really can’t.”

“Doctor Wang…” The woman on the other end of the phone still wanted to say something.

The young man directly interrupted, “You can rent a Guardian Coral to go and look after him, or let another doctor cover your shift. I really can’t.”

Are you kidding? He finally managed to get tickets to watch the National Campus Pet Beast League tonight, how could he switch shifts!

At this moment, a female doctor with an oval face, fair skin, and also wearing a white lab coat walked in.

The young man saw the newcomer, moved his phone away from his ear slightly, and casually asked:

“Doctor Zhang, Doctor Li said her husband was hit by a car and wants to switch shifts this afternoon. Will you switch?”

The Hai City Yu Beast Center closes at 6 PM in the afternoon.

The female doctor was stunned for a moment, then nodded, “Yes, I can.”

…

At 2:30 PM, Qiao Sang followed Sun Boyi to the Hai City Yu Beast Center.

Ya Bao’s injuries had already recovered under Lu Bao’s Healing Light, but it would be competing again tonight, and the Yu Beast Center was the fastest place to restore all aspects of a Pet to its optimal state.

Considering energy and other issues, Qiao Sang chose to come here.

Since an appointment had already been made before coming, Qiao Sang went directly to the Pet Beast Examination Department.

Upon entering, Qiao Sang handed over her information card and placed Ya Bao, whom she was holding, onto a special examination bed.

Next to her, a soft-bodied Pet Beast wearing a nurse cap and completely white skillfully pushed the examination bed with its claws into a door on the inner side.

This area was separated from the adjacent room by a large glass panel, allowing a clear view of the scene inside, and the sound insulation was excellent.

Once the door closed, even with Qiao Sang’s astonishing hearing, she couldn’t hear any movement inside.

The soft-bodied Pet Beast moved its mouth, saying something unknown, and Ya Bao’s eyes glowed blue as it glanced at the lightweight shrinking bracelet on its paw.

The next second, its body immediately returned to its original size.

Then, the examination bed collapsed…

Through the glass, Qiao Sang met Ya Bao’s gaze, its face full of “I don’t know anything, I didn’t do anything.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Wriggle!”

“Wriggle!”

The soft-bodied Pet Beast pushed the door open and aggressively barked twice at the female doctor.

Although Qiao Sang couldn’t understand what it was saying, it wasn’t hard to guess that this guy was definitely tattling.

“That.” Qiao Sang quickly said, “I’m sorry, how much is it? I’ll pay for it.”

This shift change… The female doctor sat blankly, staring at the information displayed on the information card on the computer, this thought echoing in her mind.

“Doctor?” Qiao Sang called out.

The female doctor came back to her senses, her expression confused: “What’s wrong?”

“Wriggle!”

“Wriggle!”

Before Qiao Sang could speak, the soft-bodied Pet Beast next to her pointed at Ya Bao through the glass and barked twice, its expression exactly like a student going to complain to their homeroom teacher.

The female doctor glanced through the glass and said, “You hurry up and go in, haven’t you finished the examination yet?”

“Wriggle…”

The soft-bodied Pet Beast pouted, then obediently returned to the other side of the glass.

“I’ll pay for it,” Qiao Sang said again upon seeing this.

“No need.” The female doctor waved her hand, “This is all my fault for not reminding you beforehand; I didn’t know your Pet Beast was wearing a lightweight shrinking bracelet. It’s not a big deal, the Yu Beast Center’s supply room still has examination beds.”

She doesn’t want me to pay, what a good person… Qiao Sang thought.

At this moment, the female doctor turned her head to Qiao Sang and said, “Don’t you have two other Pet Beasts? Let’s examine them all together.”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “No need, my other two Pet Beasts are in good condition.”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao appeared and let out a cry, indicating that it was in excellent condition.

The female doctor was not startled by Xiao Xunbao’s sudden appearance. She stared intently at Qiao Sang and said, “Don’t you have a competition tonight? You should just have them all checked.”

So she recognized me, she just wanted to see Lu Bao, why beat around the bush… Qiao Sang looked at Ya Bao, who was already being examined under the instruments on the other side of the glass, and the scattered examination bed on the floor. In the end, she didn’t refuse again.

…

5:45 PM.

Hai City Pet Beast Battle Arena.

The audience stands were noisy, with many spectators still holding their tickets and looking for their respective seats.

A woman dressed in a minimalist, forest-style outfit was moving forward in C Area, Row 12. She saw a pair of long legs occupying most of the aisle, making it difficult to pass, and couldn’t help but say:

“Excuse me, please move.”

The long legs retracted slightly, then suddenly extended again, blocking the woman’s path.

“Doctor Li, wasn’t your husband hit by a car and hospitalized?”

The woman froze, turned her head, and saw the owner of the long legs. Immediately, she said with a forced smile, “Oh, isn’t this Doctor Wang? Weren’t you supposed to meet your girlfriend’s parents? How did you end up here?”

The two exchanged glances, then tacitly turned their heads back.

The legs retracted, the walking resumed, pretending as if nothing had happened.
