TWWMABMTBH Chapter 4
by VolareThis loan shark was truly infuriated by Rong Ziyan.
In reality, the private lending business is something that only those with some connections can do. The loan shark’s business was built on the backing of a young master from a well-connected family. Over the years, he’d become quite successful. He’d encountered his fair share of tough customers, and had never been trifled with by someone like Rong Ziyan, yet this penniless student repeatedly outsmarted him.
It was difficult enough to set him up in the first place. Then, when it came to collecting, Rong Ziyan almost got away, causing him a great deal of trouble.
Now, all he could do was send some threatening text messages, which already felt incredibly stifling. But he never imagined that Rong Ziyan would dare to provoke and antagonize him further.
The more he thought about it, the more upset he became. The loan shark picked up his phone, ready to make a call.
He’d loaned out 200,000, and the first repayment was only 60, split into two payments. It was as if he was being taken for a fool!
Just then, someone next to him patted his shoulder. “Alright, calm down. Who are you trying to kill?”
“That college student! I swear, I’ll curse his ancestors for eighteen generations!”
“Calm down.” His friend, who also worked in the loan business, quickly pulled him back. “That guy is a bare-footed character who’s not afraid of those who wear shoes. Before, when he made a scene at the police station and the courthouse, they almost raided our place. You want to cause more trouble?”
“I’m his damn creditor! He should be calling me ‘father’!”
“Get real! He insisted that the source of the funds couldn’t be traced. He almost overturned the case in court. If that young master hadn’t found you a good lawyer, you’d be the one facing a charge of extortion. You’d be sitting in jail right now.”
His friend’s words were harsh, but they were also true. The loan shark immediately calmed down and put down his beer bottle.
Seeing this, his friend quickly pulled him back to his seat and poured him another drink to cool off.
This friend was also in the same line of work, so he understood even better that Rong Ziyan was a tough nut to crack, not just for the loan shark. Even that young master who backed him couldn’t come out unscathed after this incident.
It was just bad luck that the young master and Rong Ziyan were roommates. The young master had terrible grades, so he looked down on Rong Ziyan who was favored by the professors because he was a top student. He was always trying to stir up trouble for him.
For the past three years, the young master had rallied the other roommates to give Rong Ziyan the cold shoulder. But Rong Ziyan didn’t take the bait at all. After joining the professor’s research group, he practically lived in the lab, making it impossible for the young master to get to him.
So, the young master’s anger had been building up since the beginning of college, and now that Rong Ziyan was about to graduate, he hated him even more.
There was also the matter of the graduate program recommendation.
This year, the veterinary department only had one recommendation spot. Rong Ziyan was originally the top student in the department. Since his sophomore year, he’d been working on research with his professor. If things continued as they were, he would have undoubtedly gotten the recommendation.
That Rich Second Generation wasn’t necessarily desperate for the recommendation spot, after all, his family was rich. After getting a degree, he may not even become a veterinarian. But when he heard Rong Ziyan might get the recommendation, he became intent on fighting for it.
He couldn’t compete with Rong Ziyan’s grades, so he decided to slander Rong Ziyan’s character, making him completely ineligible for the recommendation. Thus, he created the trap, making Rong Ziyan take on 200,000 in bogus debt.
But who would have thought that Rong Ziyan, despite being framed, would still find a way to survive. In the end, while he didn’t overturn the case, that Rich Second Generation didn’t get off easy either, taking a big loss from Rong Ziyan.
Originally, after Rong Ziyan was disqualified, the Rich Second Generation only needed to be among the top five in the department on the final exams of his junior year to easily get the recommendation spot.
However, nobody knew how Rong Ziyan had done it, but he got the Rich Second Generation caught cheating in the exam. That led to the exposure of the Rich Second Generation’s history of using a proxy test taker for his CET-4 and CET-6 exams. He almost got expelled from the school.
It was said that he was beaten by his family elders and placed under house arrest. Therefore, the feud between the Rich Second Generation and Rong Ziyan was irreconcilable. This Rich Second Generation was now also holding onto the 200,000 debt, determined to destroy Rong Ziyan.
But while he wanted to destroy him, the loan shark truly didn’t dare to call Rong Ziyan anymore. He remembered how, every time he confronted Rong Ziyan, Rong Ziyan would seize on even the tiniest clue and find the loophole. He truly didn’t dare to say another word, including insults.
Holding his phone, the loan shark sat down and took another swig of beer. The cool liquid going down his throat finally eased his frustration about looking for trouble with Rong Ziyan.
But the moment he thought about those two 30 yuan transfers, he still felt incredibly wronged.
Meanwhile, Rong Ziyan had finished arranging all the petri dishes. He washed his hands, changed his clothes and was getting ready to go to bed.
The System sighed, “When will this debt ever be paid off?”
Rong Ziyan smiled, “Don’t worry, maybe it’ll be soon.”
He habitually checked his gold coins. He had another 4,700, with the majority coming from the veterinarian who had wronged him and the loan shark.
He was still 300 gold coins short of 5,000. His luck was always bad, and he shouldn’t do a five-draw, a single draw would be better. And 300 gold coins was really not that much, hopefully he could get it.
Rong Ziyan thought about it and decided that from a long-term perspective, he couldn’t keep shearing wool from the same sheep. So, in the end, he dialed the duty phone number for the veterinary station in the neighboring village.
“Hello?” Wang Dazhuang, in the middle of his busy schedule, managed to pick up the phone from a group of chickens, ducks and geese that needed to be examined. The background was a cacophony of noise, making it clear that Wang Dazhuang was busy with random checks, and was very exhausted.
Rong Ziyan held the phone in silence for a moment. Then he said, “Rest early,” before hanging up the phone.
Wang Dazhuang: ???
He instantly provided Rong Ziyan with 1,000 rage points, enough for a five-draw.
Rong Ziyan happily tapped on the five-draw option, and even brought out a basket, obviously intending to collect salted duck eggs.
The System, like a salted fish, watched everything, not believing that Rong Ziyan would draw anything useful.
But unexpectedly, the next moment, the wheel, which had always been emitting a gray glow, suddenly lit up. After four consecutive salted duck eggs, a huge “SSR” symbol finally appeared in the center of the wheel!
At the same time, a door suddenly appeared in front of Rong Ziyan. The antique texture was especially unique, but in the center of the door was a picture of a winking eye with a microphone next to its mouth.
No matter how you looked at it, it was quite strange.
System: What the hell is this thing?
Rong Ziyan clicked on it and was also speechless.
SSR Skill: [Thunder, This Mastery Reaches the Heavens]
They were all plain descriptions. Why did yours have sound?
In Rong Ziyan’s mind, a passionate rap song instantly started. The System was stunned speechless by it.
However, upon opening the skill description, it turned out to be surprisingly useful. The general idea was that it increased Rong Ziyan’s knowledge of veterinary medicine and gave Rong Ziyan a very useful ability. Not only did it improve Rong Ziyan’s diagnostic skills, but also the recovery speed of all living beings that Rong Ziyan had helped would become much faster.
But how fast was “much faster”?
This kind of vague explanation made Rong Ziyan feel very uncomfortable. Just then, there was a loud knock at the door.
“Dr. Rong, Dr. Rong, are you home?”
“Who is it?” Rong Ziyan opened the door and found a young boy covered in mud standing outside. When he saw Rong Ziyan, he immediately grabbed him and tried to pull him out.
“Dr. Rong, help! Something happened at my house.” The young boy was quite eloquent, and quickly explained the situation.
His family was a large pig farming household in the village. One of their boars was particularly strong and was used for breeding purposes. Nowadays, they usually use artificial insemination. So even though this boy’s family raised nearly twenty pigs, two boars were enough to impregnate all the other sows.
It had been fine at first, but tonight, this boar went into heat. Not only did it escape during the artificial semen collection, but it had also injured someone.
“Anyway, when I left, my dad was already lying down and couldn’t move. The boar was tied up by the neighbors, but it’s still thrashing around and we can’t hold it down at all.”
“Dr. Rong, please come help.”
The young boy was clearly frightened and pulled Rong Ziyan towards his house.
Rong Ziyan staggered as he was dragged. He didn’t even have time to change his clothes, but he managed to remember to bring his medical kit.
When he got there, there were a lot of people gathered around. There was also a tractor parked nearby, as if they were going to take someone to the county.
“Dad, Mom, I brought Dr. Rong here.” The young boy pulled Rong Ziyan into the crowd, and his shout instantly quieted the chaotic scene.
[Awkwardness +300]
Rong Ziyan took a look and immediately understood the reason.
The person they were carrying towards the tractor was the boy’s father. At this time, blood was constantly coming out of his abdomen, and his left leg was in a strange position. It looked like he couldn’t move it.
The young boy was stunned for a moment and then reacted. Originally, his parents had asked him to call the doctor at the village clinic. But the boy had just heard the word “doctor”, and directly brought Rong Ziyan, a veterinarian.
But seeing as the young boy’s father was still bleeding, and his leg seemed to be broken, taking the tractor to the county town could cost him half his life.
Therefore, Rong Ziyan simply took the initiative and helped perform first aid.
The wound on the abdomen looked big, but it wasn’t deep. Cleaning and stopping the bleeding was enough. The leg looked much more serious. Rong Ziyan did a rough check, and surprisingly found that it wasn’t broken, it was just a fracture. He just helped with a simple splint and after confirming that it could withstand bumps, he told them to hurry to the county town.
“Hey! You know what, it really doesn’t hurt that much! Our Dr. Rong is really good. No wonder he’s a top student.” The man, whose face had been pale, looked much better and quickly thanked Rong Ziyan. At the same time, he gave Rong Ziyan a gratitude value of 1,000.
What a good man.
“Hurry to town then. Drive slower on the road.” Rong Ziyan saw them off, and carried his medical kit back.
When passing by the pig pen, the boar that was tied up was still grunting inside. A caption appeared over its head, “Let me go wild. I want a girl.”
System: Pui! A pervert.
Rong Ziyan: It’s okay. It’ll probably be castrated tomorrow.
What?! Was he so casual about it? The System was instantly shocked. Rong Ziyan calmly explained it to him.
Breeding boars weren’t that easy to raise. To keep them healthy, they had to be forced to exercise for at least two hours a day. They also had to follow a planned diet, and their desire to ejaculate had to be maintained. All of this was no less difficult than caring for a sow after she’d given birth.
Therefore, these large breeding households also had requirements for the boars’ temperament. A boar like the one who had hurt people would definitely not be kept. Right now, the male owner was sick and had to go to the hospital, but the man’s injuries weren’t that serious, and he would probably be back by the morning. Even if he was hospitalized, it wouldn’t be for a few days. His wife and children were at home, so after the man saw the doctor, he would definitely talk to his neighbor, and have them ask Rong Ziyan to come over to castrate the boar tomorrow to prevent it from hurting anyone else.
“So, that means you’ll cut off that thing?” The System faintly felt a chill in its lower body.
Rong Ziyan was very curious: “Do you systems also have genders?”
The System was speechless and felt like it had been greatly hurt. It decided to unilaterally end the friendship with Rong Ziyan for half an hour. But if Rong Ziyan was willing to coax it, it could end the cold war early.
However, for a straight man, this situation where a cute wife was throwing a tantrum was impossible to understand. Therefore, half an hour after the end of their separation, the System still hadn’t received a peace offer from Rong Ziyan, and it felt more and more like it was a fool.
As for Rong Ziyan himself, after taking a shower, he was peacefully lying in bed getting ready to sleep.
Even though he had been out for two hours in the middle of the night, he had gained quite a bit.
Not only had he helped someone, he also received 3,000+ gratitude points from the pig farming family, and the gratitude value was still increasing by tens and hundreds of points from time to time.
They were all good people. Unlike that loan shark, who was so petty.
Just as Rong Ziyan had this thought, the System displayed a notification: [Rage value from the loan shark, 200]
So that loan shark was still angry?
Rong Ziyan sat up and thought about it, and decided to send the loan shark a message.
“Great anger hurts the liver, late nights cause baldness. Go to sleep early, I will definitely pay you back.”
After sending it, Rong Ziyan felt that something was missing, so he simply sent another message, “Bro, I can’t tell, you’re quite an emotional person.”
After sending it, he turned off his phone and closed his eyes to sleep.
Five minutes later, the System looked at the 3,000 gold coins that had suddenly shot up and suddenly had a strange idea. Was Rong Ziyan planning to anger the loan shark to death?
Although it didn’t match the mission requirements, it was indeed a good way to approach the problem. After all, the loan shark’s original loan was a setup.
For the rest of the night, Rong Ziyan slept peacefully. But the hospital and the loan shark were both having a very hard time.
The situation at the county hospital was rather strange.
The pig farmer’s leg was originally damaged, and he couldn’t move at all. But after Rong Ziyan had stabilized it and given first aid, he felt as if his leg wasn’t hurt at all.
When he got to the county hospital, he could even hop inside on one leg.
The doctors at the county hospital fell silent after the checkup.
After taking an X-ray, they found that the pig farmer’s leg was indeed just fractured. A fracture could be treated with medication and rest. As for the rest… Rong Ziyan had handled it all well. The doctors didn’t need to do much more.
In the end, they just instructed, “When you need to change the dressing, just go to the doctor in your village. Don’t run back to the county. Bumps in the road could easily hurt your leg again.”
But after the doctor finished speaking, the couple and the neighbor who had brought them over had awkward expressions on their faces.
