    [Li Tiezhu’s anger value +200]

    A second ago, the arrogant thug was completely dumbfounded. Rong Ziyan’s reaction was completely different from the script they had designed.

    He understood that there was a fee for animal husbandry station epidemic prevention, but wasn’t Rong Ziyan’s charge too expensive? He only made 300 yuan selling a battery. If he really had 1700 yuan, why would he treat the duck? Wouldn’t it be better to buy a new flock of ducks?

    Tui! This unscrupulous merchant.

    [Anger value +200]

    He clearly came to make trouble for Rong Ziyan, but Li Tiezhu himself was genuinely getting angry, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

    However, Rong Ziyan kept asking him, “Are you unwilling to pay? But according to the regulations of the animal husbandry station, without payment, we cannot provide treatment.”

    “That’s not the point! Your fees are too strange! This duck isn’t even worth 1,700 yuan.” Li Tiezhu was so angry that he jumped up and down.

    But Rong Ziyan remained calm, “How can that be? We have clear prices here!”

    “Let me ask you, how many ducks do you have at home?”

    Li Tiezhu subconsciously followed Rong Ziyan’s train of thought and replied, “One.”

    “Oh, it’s a pet, indeed.” While saying this, Rong Ziyan took out the bill and began to prove to Li Tiezhu that 1700 was an absolutely reasonable charge.

    Biochemical blood routine, 260.

    CT, 120.

    Duck plague check, 80

    After a whole list, there were more than twenty items.

    [Confusion value +1000]

    So why would an immunity check for a single duck require so many items and steps?

    Li Tiezhu was completely stunned as he looked at it. The village animal husbandry station had been open for so long, and it was known for its low fees. Even if there were many items, the animal husbandry station only charged five yuan to castrate a pig for the villagers! What exactly were these things Rong Ziyan had written now?

    Wasn’t he just taking advantage of his lack of education?

    At the same time, what angered the thug the most was that Rong Ziyan didn’t even let go of the equipment fees on this bill. An ordinary syringe cost 10 yuan.

    Ten yuan!

    Don’t treat him like an idiot; these syringes cost one yuan for two at a pharmacy. Rong Ziyan had increased the price tenfold! He was clearly an unscrupulous merchant!

    “Don’t your leaders know about these charges?” Li Tiezhu began to confront Rong Ziyan.

    Rong Ziyan: “They know! It’s a national regulation.”

    As he spoke, Rong Ziyan directly opened the computer system for Li Tiezhu to see. The prices were clearly marked, and they were indeed these prices.

    [Embarrassment value +300]

    Rong Ziyan: “Will you get it done or not?”

    Li Tiezhu swallowed, finally retorting, “Can the duck farmers in the village accept this price?”

    Rong Ziyan, “They are different from you. They have subsidies.”

    Li Tiezhu said indignantly, “Then why don’t I have them?”

    Rong Ziyan, “Muscovy ducks can be kept as pets. Yours doesn’t meet the subsidy criteria.”

    Seeing this, Li Tiezhu was about to start making trouble.

    Rong Ziyan’s next sentence stopped him immediately, “You got the ducks from Xiaowang Village, didn’t you!”

    Li Tiezhu: “???”

    Rong Ziyan: “Do you know that the ducks in their village are sick?”

    “Do you think the duck in your hand is sick?”

    How the hell would I know, I am not a vet? [Anger value +400]. Li Tiezhu felt that Rong Ziyan was probably crazy.

    But Rong Ziyan nodded and concluded on his own, “Oh, so you knew it was sick, and you did it on purpose.”

    Wait! How was it on purpose? Rong Ziyan was talking to himself, and Li Tiezhu felt that things seemed a bit bad.

    Just at this moment, the door to Rong Ziyan’s office at the animal husbandry station was knocked open. Li Tiezhu turned his head and saw the village chief walking in.

    ??? Why was the village chief here? Li Tiezhu felt guilty, and his first reaction was to run. But he was grabbed by the collar by Rong Ziyan.

    “Let go, I have something to do.”

    “Sorry, I also have something to discuss with you.” Rong Ziyan looked weak, but he had a good grip and was very polite. Li Tiezhu struggled for a long time but couldn’t break free. Then, Rong Ziyan handed him directly to the village chief.

    “It’s this person, he deliberately brought a sick duck back, wanting to harm the ducks in the village.” Rong Ziyan turned his head and said to the village chief.

    “Damn! I didn’t, I’m not, don’t misunderstand!”

    Li Tiezhu wanted to explain, but the duck was right there, and Rong Ziyan was so certain of his claim. He couldn’t find any reason to refute it.

    “What? It can be like this?” After hearing Rong Ziyan’s description, the village chief was also furious and quickly grabbed Li Tiezhu, ready to interrogate him.

    “No! Village chief, listen to me. This duck is lively and kicking, how do you prove it’s sick?”

    As if to prove the thug’s words, the duck flapped its wings, showing its vitality.

    But Rong Ziyan steadily pressed down on the duck’s back and directly slammed the whole duck onto the ground.

    “Damn, do I still have any face left?!” Once the barrage of comments popped up above his head, the duck immediately provided Rong Ziyan with 700 anger points, turning its head to peck at Rong Ziyan. As a result, Rong Ziyan let go, and the next second he grabbed the duck by the neck.

    Its throat, its very destiny, was being squeezed. The duck immediately provided Rong Ziyan with another 1000 anger points.

    However, even so, the duck struggled desperately, squawking. In the end, Rong Ziyan thought for a moment, found a rope from the room, skillfully tied the duck up, and then flipped open its wings to start looking.

    “I say, Doctor Rong, are you looking for fleas?” The village chief was a bit confused.

    “No, I’m looking for evidence to show him.” Rong Ziyan explained to them as he searched.

    It turned out that what Rong Ziyan was looking for were needle marks on the duck’s body.

    Injections for poultry are different from those for common animals, and the needle marks are extremely easy to find. For diseases that cause extensive systemic damage, the subcutaneous injection route is usually chosen, with three general locations: the neck, chest, or leg.

    The point was that when this duck entered the door, Rong Ziyan had noticed its condition. It was most likely already sick, and it should have been given a hormone-like drug to make it hyperactive. If Rong Ziyan lacked experience and directly gave it a vaccine, this duck would at most survive until the next day before dying. And Li Tiezhu could then use the reason that Rong Ziyan killed his duck to make trouble.

    The village chief listened intently, and Rong Ziyan also successfully found the needle marks.

    Now with both the person and the evidence in hand, Li Tiezhu had no choice but to confess the truth. At the same time, he also exposed his cousin, Wang Dazhuang.

    “You backstabbing bastard!” After listening, the village chief was instantly furious and gave him a hard kick. They had just barely made it through the sick duck incident, and now Xiaowang Village sent them sick ducks, wasn’t this ill-intentioned?

    “Good, great! This Wang Dazhuang doesn’t just hate Doctor Rong, he hates our whole village!”

    This village chief was also a clever person. This time, he didn’t make a big fuss like last time. Instead, while it was still early, he took the thug to the village women’s federation.

    “So why did he go to the women’s federation?” The system didn’t understand.

    But Rong Ziyan obviously didn’t care. His attention was all on the Muscovy duck, which was still flapping its wings.

    System: “Is there something wrong with it?”

    Rong Ziyan, “Hmm. I think it might have other problems.”

    After saying that, Rong Ziyan skillfully flipped open the Muscovy duck’s eyes for an examination, quickly took some secretions, and then he checked several other places. In the end, he came to a shocking conclusion: this Muscovy duck had duck plague!

    Like duck tuberculosis, duck plague is also a highly contagious disease. But the only saving grace was that hybrid ducks were prone to duck plague, while the Beijing ducks raised in the village were not so susceptible. So, the arrival of this Muscovy duck should not bring too much loss to the village.

    But even so, they couldn’t lower their guard. Any disease that was called an epidemic was bound to spread. Rong Ziyan could already confirm that the situation with the poultry in Xiaowang Village was probably already very serious.

    System: Then you should quickly inform them!

    Rong Ziyan: Let’s wait for the test results to come out completely first.

    The more serious it was, the more stable they needed to be. The moment the results came out, Rong Ziyan immediately called the village chief, but no one on the village committee picked up. Rong Ziyan had no choice but to ask the villagers for the village chief’s cell phone number and quickly called him.

    The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.

    “Hello?” The village chief’s side was very noisy, and faint crying could be heard.

    But as soon as Rong Ziyan said the words “duck plague,” the other side instantly went silent.

    At the same time, the system constantly prompted Rong Ziyan that he had received [3000 collapse points from Xiaowang Village veterinarian Wang Dazhuang].

    Village Chief: “Doctor Rong, this matter is very big. Could you please come to the county town?”

    “Okay.” Sensing the seriousness in the village chief’s tone, Rong Ziyan quickly agreed and then packed his things to rush to the county town.

    Along the way, Rong Ziyan harvested the emotional bonus from various people: nervousness, collapse, and even the dying struggle value from the duck in his hand.

    This duck was still quite resistant, providing Rong Ziyan with a total of three or four thousand gold coins intermittently. But even so, Rong Ziyan still disliked it. It was really annoying, constantly squawking.

    System: I have nothing but ducks in my head now.

    Rong Ziyan fully understood its feelings. Watching that there was still an hour to go to the county town, it was really uncomfortable to listen to it constantly squawking.

    After thinking about it, Rong Ziyan simply opened the lottery and did a single draw.

    System: What are you drawing this for?

    Rong Ziyan: To crack an egg as a warning.

    System: …

    Duck eggs and ducks were of the same origin. This threat was truly brilliant. Although the duck was not a human, Rong Ziyan was truly ruthless!

    The system once again had doubts about the nature of its host, but what neither it nor Rong Ziyan expected was that the salted duck egg, a must-have for a battle non-believer, did not appear, nor did they draw the salted fish gazing at the stars. Instead, another shimmering silver object appeared in Rong Ziyan’s system space.

    The point was that this time the item was emitting a faint blue glow, an R-level item.

    System: Damn! Did we get a hit?!

    Yes, for Rong Ziyan, an R-level item was equal to a hit.

    Rong Ziyan clicked to view the item details.

    Item Details: Frozen Beltfish, incredibly hard, fishy and icy cold. A lifelong treasure of a fisherman father. Anyone who has experienced the loving education of a frozen beltfish will immediately fall into shame for their wrong actions. [Unique, cannot be stacked]
