Chapter 21 Traditional Activity: Fish Gambling

After Li Yi finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

They were all stunned. Such a skilled and knowledgeable man didn’t even have a monster pet!

Wang Zhibin was a little surprised. “Really? You don’t have a monster pet?”

Li Yi continued, “Of course not. All I have is this here Orange Cat.”

Wang Zhibin looked down and saw the Orange Cat with its wide-open eyes. “A domestic cat like this has no fighting powers. It can’t really be called a monster pet.”

“It seems that you really don’t have one.”

“That’s a pity. But the Beast Master competition is scheduled to be held in three months. I will hold a spot open for you. If you want to participate, you will need to contract a Beast as soon as possible.”

Li Yi nodded. “I will do my best…”

The onlookers felt really sorry for him.

They expected an excellent doctor like Li Yi to at least have his own monster pet.

But Bai Youyun was the one who felt the most sorry for him. She still wanted to participate in the competition with Li Yi.

Although he still had three months, that time could very well prove to be too short.

Li Yi would first have to contract a Beast, then train it and increase its strength in battle.

Doing all that in three months was really pushing it.

But at that time, Li Yi had already made up his mind. He would quickly find the remaining Fish and Reptile Type Contract Statuses.

If he could collect these two Statuses within three months, he would have the chance to participate in the competition.

Li Yi believed that he could definitely do it, but he would have to carefully plan things in advance. He would have to start preparing right now.

Among the things he needed were a Contract Crystal, Spirit Feed for the Beast, as well as some suitable equipment, and so on.

Contract Crystals were very important. They were needed both when one initially contracts a Beast andall the time after that.

There was a space inside the crystal, which would become the Beast’s own activity space.

Of course, there were pros and cons to doing this. The advantage was that it was much more convenient to transport and carry around the Beast.

The downside was that, if the pet left its owner, their connection would be severed for a short period of time, increasing their sense of estrangement. Moreover, after staying in the crystal for a long time, the strength of both the pet and its owner would decrease.

These crystals were not cheap, either.

The Spirit Feed was just as important as the Contract Crystal. Monster pets could not eat ordinary pet food.

The better the food, the more expensive it would be. Contracting a Beast is no small investment.

He would need to earn some money as soon as

possible.

Li Yi looked at Jiang Ying and said, “From now on we are no longer just colleagues. You are now my assistant. Do you understand?”

Hearing that, Jiang Ying nodded her head in admiration. “I understand… I will do my best…”

She had fulfilled her promise. After all, she had nothing to lose by it. Now that Li Yi was a top-notch doctor, she might have a lot to learn by being his assistant.

“Dr. Li, the Shangguan family welcomes you as our family doctor. If I have any problems in the future, I’ll help you out.”

Shangguan Yi said with a smile.

Li Yi said confidently, “No problem. If you have any problems, as long as they are solvable, come and ask me to take a look.”

“Okay. If we run into any, I will contact you. And a very generous treatment fee will be yours. You can rest assured about that.”

Li Yi nodded. He was in urgent need of money now, so he definitely could not wait for Shangguan Yi to pay him.

It was rude to ask for money directly. He had to think of a way to earn it himself.

“I have some things to take care of, so I’ll be taking my leave now.”

After saying goodbye to the them, he went to the roadside and left the museum via taxi.

After Li Yi left, the reporters dispersed one after another.

Bai Youyun and Lin Ya went home, while Shangguan Yi went back to the museum.

Meanwhile, Li Yi was sitting in the taxi. Just then, he thought of a way to get some money fast: fish gambling! This activity was a local tradition of Jianghai city, passed down over the ages.

It was similar to horse racing, but you bet on fish instead of horses.

At about this time every year, there would be a migration of wild Flower Koi.

The organizers would assign a number to each Flower Koi and let people choose which one they thought would win. The first Flower Koi to swim to the top of a hill would receive a generous reward.

If he could win the first place, he would be set for the rest of his life.

And throughout the whole process, everyone could follow and watch from the shore.

This way, contestants had space to manipulate the fish.

For Li Yi, this would indeed be an easy way to earn some money.

The money he earned in the hospital was too little. It was better to bet on a fish.

Of course, his fish would have to win first place.

Li Yi went to a park in the south of the city. It stood along the river where many Flower Koi gathered.

They would stay here for a period of time and people would feed them. That would also be the time they get assigned numbers.

Then the competition began.

Standing by the river, Li Yi found that there were many people gathered around him.

They had all come to participate in the fish gambling because they had heard of its wide fame.

Li Yi approached the river. He began looking for a fish that was in good condition and could get a high ranking. It would be best if it could get first place.

Just then, a person approached Li Yi and asked, “You must be Li Yi. Amazing meeting you here!”

Li Yi turned his head and saw a young man looking at him in shock.

“And you are?”

“My name is Liu Cheng. I saw you on the news. Your new discovery really shook the academic world!”

Li Yi smiled faintly. “It was nothing. I just got lucky.”

“I’m in the same profession as you. I’m also a pet veterinarian. We should talk about our experiences someday.”

“No problem,” Li Yi agreed easily.

Liu Cheng squatted beside Li Yi and revealed a friendly smile. “Brother Li, are you also here to bet on the fish?”

“Of course. Aren’t you?”

Liu Cheng nodded. “That’s right. I am too. Anyway, have you picked yours? Any one catch your fancy?”

“No. In my opinion, these fish are all more or less the same. There’s nothing to choose from.”

Liu Cheng nodded in agreement. “Brother Li, you’re right. This is a game of pure luck.” “I’ll go pick mine first. See you later.”

Saying that, Liu Cheng got up and left.

Li Yi kept looking at the school of fish. Some of them had Status entries over their heads.

The most common Status among them was breathing underwater.

Li Yi was a little surprised that he could take away a fish’s ability to breathe underwater.

He reached out his big hand and took the Status.

Then, he extracted the other states.

These included [ Excitement ] , [ Agility ), [ Depression ] , [ Impotence ). He took all these and more.

While Li Yi was extracting the fragments, Garfield suddenly jumped down from his shoulder and ran to the side of the pond. He reached into the water with his claws and snagged a fish.

When the referee saw this, he rushed over.
