Rebirth Waste Strikes Back Part 1 (MTL)

Chapter 70 - Chen Yuan's Request For Help

"Young Master Qi, do you have a way to contact the Ghost Doctor?" Chen Yuan asked cautiously.

Qi Shaorong nodded and said leisurely, "Of course, we're good friends, the kind that lies on the same bed."

Chen Yuan: "..." Fourth Young Master Qi, you really don't have to explain how good your relationship with the Ghost Doctor is every single time, "Actually, the Chen family has something with which they want to ask the Ghost Doctor for help."

Qi Shaorong looked at Chen Yuan and said, "What is it!"

"There are thousands of twin scaled horses [1] in the empire, did you know?" Chen Yuan asked.

"I know." The twin scaled horses were the empire's war horses. Most of them were around the fourth or fifth level, but king scaled horses can reach the seventh level. A single twin scaled horse isn't much on its own, but they're quite frightening once the number reaches a certain level. The empire has a scaled horse brigade, the horses cooperate with the soldiers, and their combined strength can be more than double the original.

"Twin scaled horses are monster beasts that are relatively easy to domesticate, and they are raised by many of the major families in the empire."

"Many of the twin scaled horses in the Imperial Racecourse have fallen ill. The Fourth Prince has sent many invites to the Ghost Doctor but none of them have been able to reach him. I hope that if Young Master Qi meets the Ghost Doctor, you can help us by talking to him about it." Chen Yuan said carefully. Chen Yuan felt like he had an acute illness and somehow ended up asking Qi Shaorong for help.

[T/n: Sorry, not really sure what the heck Chen Yuan is trying to say here.]

Qi Shaorong hooked up the corners of his mouth and said, "The manager of the Imperial Racecourse seems to be someone from the Chen Family!"

Chen Yuan: "..." It really was a person from the Chen Family, If something were to happen to the war horses, then the Chen Family would be in trouble.

"If the Ghost Doctor can cure the war horses, there will be a reward of 500 000 gold coins." Chen Yuan said.

Qi Shaorong tilted his head and stared at Chen Yuan, and a cold smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. A bad premonition suddenly rose in Chen Yuan's heart.

"Young Master Qi, is there a problem!"

"You know, I bet a million gold coins on Tianlan College winning first place," said Qi Shaorong.

Chen Yuan nodded and said, "I know. Not even the emperor knows how many people there are who envy you for getting rich overnight."

Qi Shaorong smiled and said, "Do you know where I had gotten the original gold from?"

Chen Yuan shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"You're really so stupid!" Qi Shaorong was full of dislike as he said this.

Chen Yuan, "... I'm really not that smart."

"I have a good relationship with the Ghost Doctor, so naturally this money was borrowed from him. Fortunately, I earned around 30 million from all the major gambling houses this time. I gave the Principal 10 million and Qian Mian 6 million, and what was left was divided equally between the Ghost Doctor and me." Qi Shaorong said.

Chen Yuan: "..."

"How unlucky is it that I had just made a fortune. If it was like usual, then 500 000 really isn't a small amount, but... Now, it seems that it's not enough." Qi Shaorong shook his head.

Chen Yuan: "..." Really rich.

"Young Master Qi, how much gold do you think it would take for the Ghost Doctor to be willing to lend a hand?" Chen Yuan asked.
