Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Driving, Helmet On—Isn’t That Especially Sweet?
"What’s up, Comrade Xiaozhang?"
Station Chief Wu noticed Zhang Lingchuan’s expression was a bit off, so he asked in confusion.
Song Wanqing, who was filming material of Zhang Lingchuan, was also stunned for a moment. The procedure was completed, so why did Teacher Zhang suddenly have this expression?
"It’s nothing, Station Chief Wu. I’ll handle the remaining wound cleaning and dressing for the dogs."
Zhang Lingchuan smiled slightly.
He was just puzzled why the system bug was back, whether a new bug emerged or the previous one wasn’t fixed.
So he decided to try cleaning and dressing some more dogs.
If every dog earns points, it proves the system hasn’t fixed the bug.
If only one dog earns points, it proves a new bug emerged.
"Ah! Comrade Xiaozhang, you’re really putting yourself out there!"
Station Chief Wu was grateful upon hearing that Zhang Lingchuan volunteered to treat the remaining dogs.
"It’s fine. Wanqing, our dinner might be pushed back a bit, you don’t mind, right?"
It’s already close to seven, and he guessed they’d finish by seven-thirty at the earliest.
"I don’t mind, I don’t mind, I love filming material. By the way, Master Zhang, would you like a sip of lime juice?"
Song Wanqing said with a smile, and then took out a bottle of lime juice from her bag, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to Zhang Lingchuan.
"Did you even bring drinks, alright, I’ll have some."
Feeling a bit thirsty, Zhang Lingchuan started to remove his gloves and take off his mask.
"Master Zhang, you don’t need to move, I’ll help you."
But the next second, Song Wanqing stopped him directly.
A stunned Zhang Lingchuan watched her remove his mask and put the lime juice to his mouth.
"Gulp, gulp—"
The bottle tilted slightly, and he suddenly realized the drink tasted quite good.
"Want more?"
"Go on, a bit more."
Especially since he was quite thirsty.
Just like that, Zhang Lingchuan drank down half the bottle in one go.
"I suddenly realized you aren’t the least bit reserved, Master Zhang. Didn’t just take a sip of the girl’s drink but left only the bottle bottom."
The feeding ended.
Song Wanqing withdrew her hand, shaking the remaining lime juice in the bottle in the sunset glow.
Slightly frowning, her almond-shaped eyes solemn under the black frames looked at Zhang Lingchuan.
"Huh? Cough, cough, cough!?"
As soon as he swallowed the drink, Zhang Lingchuan was directly choked by her words!
His eyes turned to Song Wanqing.
So she was just being polite??
"Hehe, Master Zhang, don’t be excited. I’m just joking with you. By the way, is the lime juice sweet?"
Song Wanqing pursed her lips and asked, looking at the choked Zhang Lingchuan.
"Quite sweet."
Zhang Lingchuan nodded.
The lime juice was pretty good.
Often drank it in school too.
"Sweet is expected, can’t have a young girl’s drink not be sweet, right? But alas, I only have one bottle, so I’ll have to drink what Master Zhang left."
Song Wanqing muttered.
"Uh..."
Then Zhang Lingchuan watched as Song Wanqing finished the remaining lime juice.
Though not facing the bottle!
But why does this scene and those words create an inexplicable sense of guilt!
Seems like next time a girl’s drink should be taken with caution!
"Cough, cough, I’ll go move some feed to the dogs outside, you guys carry on."
Station Chief Wu coughed twice.
Went out to move feed for the dogs.
The work inside continued.
One dog, two dogs, three dogs... ten dogs!!
All the way until seven-thirty.
[Wound Cleaning and Dressing Skill completed +1.]
[Task Requirement: Complete one hundred Wound Cleaning and Dressing procedures.]
[Task Duration: 10 days.]
[Task Reward: Super Acceleration Package *1, Special Stamina Potion *1, Professional Reputation +100.]
[Task Progress: 19/100.]
Zhang Lingchuan opened the task directory.
Actual evidence proved the system bug wasn’t fixed.
But why couldn’t he verify the chicken with the Wound Cleaning and Dressing today to complete the task?
What’s the difference between a chicken and a dog?
Is it the weight?
But that shouldn’t be right either.
After all, a full-grown cow weighs over a thousand pounds, so if the system uses weight to determine whether it’s a person, what concept is a thousand plus pound person?
Therefore, form and weight are definitely ruled out.
So what’s the difference between a chicken and a dog?
He decided to look into it comprehensively later.
"Master Zhang, what are you thinking?"
On the way down the mountain.
Song Wanqing noticed Zhang Lingchuan looked thoughtful.
Curiosity got the best of her.
"Nothing much, just habitually reviewing the procedure."
Zhang Lingchuan smiled.
He certainly couldn’t tell her that he has a system in his head and is contemplating system tasks.
"Oh, that’s why people say studying medicine requires lifelong learning. Did you know Station Chief Wu was praising you just now? He hasn’t seen anyone clean and dress dog’s wounds so quickly and flawlessly!"
Song Wanqing initially thought with so many dogs, they’d be busy until eight.
But it ended at seven-thirty.
She could only say the expert is truly amazing!
"Flawless is a bit much, Wanqing, shall we grab some snail noodles later?"
Although he practiced in the system for a year.
His speed and technique are worlds apart from before.
But saying flawless is too exaggerated.
"Sounds good, I’ve never had snail noodles before, just right to give it a try. Then you can drive later, Master Zhang, I’m afraid I’d end up crashing us into a ditch driving at night."
Song Wanqing smiled as she walked beside Zhang Lingchuan.
She indeed hasn’t tried snail noodles.
But she’s also really keen to give it a taste.
Down the mountain.
Driving.
Put on the seatbelt.
Twenty minutes later.
Stopped at the entrance of a rundown market.
"Old Place Night Market Snail Noodles, Master Zhang, are we eating here?"
Song Wanqing looked a bit intrigued.
"Yes, Wanqing don’t mind the place looking a bit shabby, there’s not even a proper storefront, but the taste is really delicious."
Zhang Lingchuan nodded.
This was a frequent spot for him.
Considered to have the best night market snail noodles in Qing County.
"Alright, let’s try it~"
Song Wanqing sat at a small table set on the roadside.
While observing the surroundings, it appeared this Old Place’s Night Market Snail Noodles is well-loved, considering it’s eight o’clock and almost all seats are occupied.
After a while.
Two servings of snail noodles were brought over.
"Wanqing, give it a try."
Zhang Lingchuan said while stirring with chopsticks.
"Okay."
Song Wanqing tucked her bangs behind her ear and then mimicked Zhang Lingchuan, stirring with her chopsticks.
The smell was pungent, definitely pungent, but oddly fragrant after a while??
Just like that, she took her first bite.
"How is it? Decent, right??"
Zhang Lingchuan asked with a smile.
"Mhm, delicious."
Song Wanqing nodded.
At least it tasted really good to her.
"Haha, eat more if you like it. Today’s results are really thanks to the Integrated Media Center, and especially grateful to Wanqing for helping me edit videos outside of work."
Seeing Song Wanqing also enjoyed the taste, Zhang Lingchuan expressed his sincere gratitude.
If he were the one filming.
Having a thousand followers now would be a stretch, so professionals should tackle professional tasks.
"Master Zhang, we are alumni, no need to be so formal. Let’s focus on running Douyin, increasing followers, enhancing impact, and defeating competitors. After all, the live competition is your main event, while I can at most be a backstage assistant."
The material shot earlier can be edited and posted on Douyin to enhance the persona.
But attracting more viewers for the live stream depends on Teacher Zhang.
"Wanqing, do you have any good suggestions?"
Zhang Lingchuan looked at her, realizing he’s entirely blank about running these operations.
"Actually, I do!!"
Song Wanqing’s eyes sparkled, looking at him differently.
"What? Tell me, Wanqing."
Zhang Lingchuan’s curiosity peaked.
"Master Zhang, I want to ask, since you’re skilled in both Eastern and Western medicine with solid surgical fundamentals, is becoming a human doctor your ultimate goal?"
Song Wanqing casually asked while eating, adjusting her loose bangs.
She felt Teacher Zhang’s skills seemed practiced for human medicine.
After all, ancestor’s physiognomy and the inquiries in traditional Chinese medicine couldn’t possibly be used on cows and horses.
