Chapter 95 Pet Hospital
Faced with a series of questions about Qinjiu, Meng Qingyin had no answers.
She thought for a moment and said, "How about this, we split up. I'll ask around to see if they can process the ore, and you can check the chat area to see if there are any tools or items that can unlock the chain."
Qin Jiu nodded: "That's the only way."
Besides the player, Meng Qingyin's only friends are two NPCs, Li Tieniu and Li the Blacksmith, plus a traveling merchant named Achen.
After a moment's thought, she first contacted Li the blacksmith.
Could Li the blacksmith's profession possibly have any connection with processing ores?
Mengmeng: "Uncle Li, I have [salt mine], [rough stone], and [rock] here. Do you know how to process them to obtain the corresponding products?"
The 23rd generation successor of the Li family forging technique: "A rock? You actually have a rock? Xiao Meng, how did you obtain this rock?"
Mengmeng: "Uh, it was found in a mine."
The 23rd generation successor of the Li family forging technique said: "Xiao Meng, do you know you've struck gold! This rock essence is no ordinary thing. It's extremely hard, and whether you incorporate it into weapons or equipment, it can greatly enhance their performance!"
Mengmeng: "But the rock needs to be processed to obtain its essence. I don't know how to process it. Uncle Li, do you know the processing method?"
The 23rd generation successor of the Li family forging: "[Smelter Shi Ye], this is my friend. He is an excellent smelter. He is good at smelting all kinds of ores, whether it is salt ore, rough stone or rock. You can't go wrong with him!"
Meng Qingyin was pleasantly surprised: "Thank you, Uncle Li, you've really helped me a lot!"
The 23rd generation successor of the Li family forging: "Haha, no need to be polite, I didn't do anything."
Mengmeng: "Uncle Li, I'll talk to you later, I'm going to add the blacksmith as a friend!"
The 23rd generation successor of the Li family forging tradition: "Good!"
Meng Qingyin immediately requested to add Li as a friend after receiving his business card.
The friend request was approved quickly.
Metallurgist Shi Ye: "I heard from Brother Li that you have some rock?"
Mengmeng: "Yes, besides the rock, there are also salt mines and rough stones, all of which need your help to smelt."
Smelter Shi Ye: "Brother Li told you the price, right? Since you're Brother Li's niece, I won't make a profit off you. Just give me the cost price."
Mengmeng: "Wait a minute, Uncle Li didn't tell me the price. Uncle Shi, could you please tell me the price first?"
Metallurgist Shi Ye: "Call me sister. I just have a name that sounds like a man's, but I'm not a man."
Mengmeng: "Excuse me, Sister Shi!"
Metallurgist Shi Ye: "Salt ore and rough stone are one copper coin per kilogram, while rock is five copper coins per kilogram."
Meng Qingyin looked at the price and thought it wasn't expensive.
Mengmeng: "Okay, where should I find you? Also, I have another question. [Image] Could you help me figure out how to open this chain?"
The picture shows the chains that restrain the pangolin.
The reply came after a while: "These chains are ordinary iron chains, but they are mixed with the essence of rock, making them stronger than ordinary iron chains. Opening them is also simple; you can use tools made of the essence of rock. However... I see that these chains are embedded in the flesh, so you'd better take them to a veterinary hospital for treatment."
Meng Qingyin was taken aback: "A pet hospital? Could you send me the address?"
Metallurgist Ishino: "Near Highway 382. [Location] This is my location. You can send the ore here, and I will smelt it for you."
Mengmeng: "Okay, thank you."
After closing the chat, Meng Qingyin looked at Qin Jiu, who was also looking over, looking dejected: "I didn't find anything in the chat area."
Meng Qingyin: "I'm taking them to the vet now. You go help Chen Leying mine, and remember to mine lots of rock!"
Qin Jiu stared at her blankly: "There are even pet hospitals?"
Meng Qingyin: "Don't just stand there, help me carry these three pangolins back to the car!"
As she spoke, she gently picked up the two animals and hurried towards the train.
Qin Jiu snapped out of her daze and picked up the other one to follow.
After the three pangolins were placed on the train, Meng Qingyin turned around and found that the other pangolins had followed.
She said to Zaizai, "Zazai, tell them that I'm taking these three pangolins to get treatment, and I'll bring them back after they're cured. Tell them to wait here in peace."
The little one squeaked and waved its arms at the pangolins, and the pangolins understood what it was saying and indeed stopped moving forward.
Meng Qingyin then instructed Qin Jiu, "Keep an eye on them."
Qin Jiu nodded: "Don't worry."
Meng Qingyin closed the car door, looked at the map, and drove towards Highway 382.
She was quite lucky, as her map only showed detailed information within 50 kilometers, and Highway 382 happened to be within that range.
If she's outside this range, she'll be really hard to find.
Three pangolins huddled in a corner. Meng Qingyin gave them some water, and their misty eyes looked at her as if they understood human nature.
Meng Qingyin sighed, "Soon we won't have to suffer anymore."
The train sped along and soon arrived at Highway 382.
There was a small, old and dilapidated pet hospital next to the highway.
As soon as the train stopped, Meng Qingyin jumped off, carrying two pangolins, and walked into the hospital.
The lobby was deserted and eerily quiet.
"Is anyone home?" Meng Qingyin called out.
After a while, a doctor in a white coat came out from the side room: "What's wrong?"
Meng Qingyin: "The pangolin's hind limbs are embedded with chains. Can they be removed?"
The doctor's expression turned serious, and he immediately stepped forward to examine the patient.
A moment later, his tone was very stern: "How did you take care of your pet? How could such a serious situation have occurred? It needs surgery immediately!"
The little one bared its teeth and glared angrily at the doctor: "Don't you dare yell at your owner!"
Meng Qingyin comforted the baby without explaining further, "Let's arrange the surgery now, I have another one in my car."
He then handed the two pangolins in his arms to the doctor, and with the doctor looking on in bewilderment, he went back to the car and brought back the other pangolin.
The doctor made a phone call and rushed into the operating room.
Seeing the "Operation in Progress" light come on, Meng Qingyin finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the bench with her baby in her arms.
The little one was still angry: "Master, that's a bad person! He was mean to you! Once he heals the pangolin, I'll teach him a lesson!"
Meng Qingyin soothed its fur: "Don't be angry anymore. When he comes out, I'll help you scold him!"
Zai Zai: "Okay! Let's all curse him!"
Meng Qingyin was both amused and exasperated.
Only now did she have time to message Chen Leying and Qin Jiu: "The pangolin has been taken to the vet and is receiving treatment."
