"Free?" Meng Qingyin looked surprised. "Is it because pangolins are endangered species?"
The doctor shook his head and said slowly, "That's not always the case. Regardless of whether the animals are endangered or not, as long as they need treatment, I will provide it free of charge."
Free treatment?
Thinking of the hospital's peeling exterior and dilapidated appearance, Meng Qingyin felt a strange feeling in her heart.
This game was becoming increasingly difficult for her to understand.
In her opinion, survival games should be very cruel, full of fighting and blood.
But so far, although she has encountered people with bad intentions, they are only a minority.
Moreover, there was no life-threatening danger in the previous activities.
She thought that players who failed to complete their tasks in the escort activity would be eliminated, but 007 simply kicked them out of the "Escort Channel".
In addition, players who become escorts also have a job that can earn copper coins.
Now, she not only met the Endangered Species Protection Association, but also doctors who treated the animals for free...
None of this looks like a survival game at all.
However, a lot of people did die in this game.
A survival game that looks relatively tame?
What was the purpose of the people who created this game?
Meng Qingyin really couldn't understand.
The doctor's voice interrupted her reverie. "Ms. Meng, I can see that you are very caring towards animals. I apologize again for my previous rude behavior. I shouldn't have reported you to the Animal Association before finding out the truth."
After saying that, he bowed deeply.
Meng Qingyin quickly helped him up: "It's okay, I don't take it to heart."
Moreover, the Animal Protection Association also compensated her.
The doctor looked at the pangolin again and spoke with pity, "You have suffered inhuman torture, but it is all over. I hope you will be safe and happy in the future."
The pangolin squeaked in response.
The doctor smiled and started to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Meng Qingyin called him, "Excuse me, what's your name?"
"My name is Zhou Xing."
Meng Qingyin: "Dr. Zhou, thank you for treating the pangolin."
Zhou Xing smiled and left.
Meng Qingyin looked down at Zizi, and suddenly remembered something, and jokingly said: "Oh, I forgot to scold him with Zizi."
The cub looked at the pangolin and said magnanimously, "Forget it. It seems he's not that fierce now, so I won't scold him."
After saying this, as if he was afraid that Meng Qingyin would be unhappy, he asked, "Is it okay, Master?"
Meng Qingyin smiled and said, "Okay."
The cub happily rubbed her trouser leg, "Master, you are so nice."
Meng Qingyin: "Okay, we should go back."
As soon as she got back to the car, Meng Qingyin sent a message to Qin Jiu: "Xiaojiu, call me."
Strong wine drowns sorrows: "Okay!"
[Captain "Strong Wine to Melt Sorrow" invites you to join him. Do you agree?]
Meng Qingyin clicked to agree.
The next moment, she appeared in the familiar mine.
The pangolin and its cub are not here.
Qin Jiu was puzzled: "Huh? Where's the pangolin? And where's the cub?"
Meng Qingyin: "They may still be in the car."
When Qin Jiu called her just now, she was not holding them.
When Qin Jiu summoned her for the first time, she was holding her baby in her arms.
It seems that if Qin Jiu summons her, she can be summoned to Qin Jiu's side.
Her vehicle was summoned near Qin Jiu's vehicle.
Well, that makes sense.
The kids must still be in her car.
A moment later, Zaizai came with three pangolins.
Seeing the pangolin's intact hind legs, Qin Jiu's eyes widened: "There's no damage at all. Did you secretly replace three pangolins?"
The three pangolins were dissatisfied and squeaked. One of them was so anxious that it swung its tail back and forth to prove that they had not been "stolen".
Qin Jiu smiled, revealing his little fangs: "Haha, how cute! They can understand what I'm saying, but they didn't realize I was joking."
The other pangolins swarmed over and surrounded the three pangolins, chirping as if celebrating their recovery.
Chen Leying banged the rocks loudly: "Now that they are fine, come over and dig the rocks."
Qin Jiu ran over: "You take a break, let me take over!"
Chen Leying handed her the pickaxe, took a sip of mineral water, and then asked Meng Qingyin, "How much did it cost to treat the pangolin? Also, what was the smelter's fee?"
"Oh, I was just about to tell you about this," Meng Qingyin raised her voice so that Qin Jiu could hear her. "This time, the pangolin treatment will be free."
Qin Jiu stopped and ran over, his face full of disbelief. "Free? The pet hospital is doing charity?"
Meng Qingyin nodded. "That's about right. Dr. Zhou has been treating animals for free."
Qin Jiu was silent for a long time before he said, "Why does this feel so unreal? Are we still playing a survival game? There's actually such a kind doctor?"
Chen Leying didn't say anything, looking thoughtful.
Meng Qingyin continued, "As for the smelter's fees, they are charged by weight. Salt ore and rough stone are one copper coin per kilogram, while rock is five copper coins per kilogram."
Qin Jiu nodded: "This price is not expensive."
Chen Leying looked at Meng Qingyin inquiringly: "Okay, after we finish mining the ore here, you can take all the ore to process. The processing fee will be 40% for Qin Jiu and me, and 20% for you. How about that?"
Meng Qingyin thought about it and agreed, "No problem."
Qin Jiu raised his hand weakly: "...No one asked for my opinion?"
Chen Leying raised her eyebrows: "Do you have any objections?"
Qin Jiu shook his head like a chicken pecking at rice: "No!"
Meng Qingyin made the final decision, "Then it's settled. One more thing. I was just arrested by the Animal Association. As an apology, they gave me a list of endangered animals and the title of Love Ambassador. I'll take a photo of the list and send you a copy when I get back. Please be careful not to harm endangered animals in the future; they are protected."
The three of them decided to save the pangolin together, so it didn't matter if they showed the list to the two of them.
"Endangered animal protection list?" Qin Jiu was increasingly puzzled. "Are we really in a survival game? If endangered animals are protected, then are we players also protected and shouldn't we kill them easily?"
Chen Leying: "No, players are not protected."
Meng Qingyin also remembered the last time she had dealt with Liu Fujia quickly and efficiently.
Qin Jiu curled his lips. "So we are at the bottom of the food chain? At the mercy of others?"
Chen Leying glanced at her and said, "As long as you are strong enough, you will be at the top of the food chain. No one can threaten your existence."
Qin Jiu's eyes flashed with contemplation, "That's right, then I want to be the best!"
