All who heard it thought that Jiang Ying’s question was too hard.

“Why don’t you wake that bug up yourself? Why ask others!” Bai Youyun was the first to speak up for Li Yi.

Even Lin Ya felt that it was a little too much. She was clearly trying to trip him up!

Shangguan Yi stood where he was, not saying anything. Instead, he quietly watched Li Yi’s reaction.

Li Yi thought for a moment. He recalled the strange stone that he had seen during the tour just now.

He even remembered its name. It was called the Homesick Stone.

It got its name because someone thought that the bug had left its hometown and was in too much grief. That was why it had closed itself off.

It wasn’t dead. Any medical examinations would show it was still very much alive.

But after so many years, no doctor had ever been able to wake it up.

For Shangguan Yi, this stone had become a source of mental anguish.

Jiang Ying said confidently, “I’m a top-notch doctor at Zhengyang Pet Beast Treatment Center. I don’t know where he came from, but there’s no way HE can hold a candle to me.”

“If he can’t prove himself, that would prove his skills are average. There are many doctors in our hospital who are similar to him.”

Jiang Ying looked at Li Yi with confidence. She was sure that Li Yi could not awaken the Homesick Stone.

Since coming to the Shangguan family, she met all kinds of experts and professors, and visited famous doctors in various places, but she could not find a way to awaken the Homesick Stone.

Hence she concluded that it was impossible for Li Yi to wake up the stone.

“Aren’t you an expert at medicine? You specialize in treating all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases. You can do this, can’t you? I believe in you.”

Li Yi was uncertain. This was the first time he had ever treated a stone.

All these years he had been a doctor, but he had never treated a stone before.

He really didn’t know whether he could do it or not.

However, the position of the Shangguan family’s doctor was still very attractive. Li Yi did not want to give up. He decided to try his hand. Even if it did not succeed, it did not matter.

“Then I’ll try it. I’ll go see what its current condition is like.”

As he said this, Li Yi turned around and began to walk towards the monster pet exhibition hall.

Soon everyone had arrived at the exhibition hall. They walked up to the Homesick Stone’s exhibition cabinet.

Behind the glass, there was a room covered in a layer of soil. In the middle, there was a figure that looked like a pebble.

“This is it. Take your time.” Jiang Ying was secretly happy.

She was hoping that Li Yi would agree to it. There was no way he would be able to cure it. If he failed, Shangguan Yi would be disappointed in him.

This way, no one would be able to compete with her!

Li Yi leaned forward and carefully studied the stone in the display case.

Just then, Garfield jumped to the front of the display case. He placed his hands on the glass and looked curiously at the stone.

Li Yi looked at Garfield strangely. He did not expect Garfield to be interested in this stone.

Ever since Garfield entered the museum, he had not shown any interest in anything.

Except this stone…

There was something quite unordinary about this stone. It might be even stronger than those high-level Beasts he saw earlier.

Li Yi carefully observed it and noticed a few things.

Indeed, it was not a real stone. It was a special insect-type Beast.

It might currently be in the process of evolving. It might have wrapped itself in this cocoon to protect itself during the process.

Moreover, the silk threads it spat out were very hard, like steel, and could block most of the damage.

Normally, a cocoon like this contained a chrysalis. When placed in the warm sunlight, it would break out of the cocoon and fly out as a butterfly.

If after all this time it still had not broken out, perhaps it was in the wrong environment.

Li Yi was speechless. This wasn’t supposed to happen. How could the people here be so stupid? This should be obvious!

There’s a reason they say common sense isn’t very common…

Li Yi recalled the medical books he had read before. Indeed, he couldn’t recall a single one that explained the process whereby a chrysalis breaks out of its cocoon and becomes a butterfly.

This fact made Li Yi feel a little stunned. This kind of thing should be common sense.

Li Yi came to understand quickly that there was a reason why no one in the world knew this simple fact.

First of all, this world was dominated by Beast Masters. When Beast Masters looked for Beasts to contract, their first picks were always fierce, powerful beasts.

Naturally, no one would pay attention to small bugs.

Therefore, in this world, insect-type monster pets were extremely rare.

In that case, there was a solution.

“I have a treatment plan, but in order to be safe, I need to look up some information first.”

Shangguan Yi nodded slightly. “No problem. Feel free to look up whatever information you need. I have a very complete set of medical literature here.”

Jiang Ying could not help but snicker when she heard this. “Heh, you can’t solve it yourself, so you’re gonna seek help from others, right?”

Li Yi looked at her and asked, “You’re saying that I’m seeking help from others to solve the problem in front of me?”

Jiang Ying nodded very seriously. “That’s right. You’re dreaming. You don’t have the ability to do this!”

“Then I would like to ask, who do you think I can find to solve this problem?”

“Or rather, whom should I look for to solve this problem?”

Li Yi’s tone was full of helplessness.

Jiang Ying tilted her head and thought for a moment. Suddenly, she was speechless.

She had led a large group of top-notch doctors to research the bug for several months, but they had not come up with any results.

Though she had searched through all the doctors in Jianghai City, she could not find a single one that could solve the problem.

Now that she guessed that Li Yi was looking for external help, she really felt that his IQ was not very high.

Jiang Ying became exasperated. “Hehe, you’re just stalling for time. You have no solution at all. After you’re done flipping through those books, you’ll come up with some other excuse!”

“If you ask me, you’re just trying to stall for time so that everyone will forget about this matter!”

“It’s too late now. You’ll use ‘looking for information’ as an excuse. You’ll search until late at night and then find an excuse to go home. When the next day comes, no one will remember this!”

Jiang Ying pressed on step by step, not wanting to give Li Yi a chance to escape.

“I’m just simply checking the medical history. It’ll only take ten minutes at most.”

Li Yi’s words stunned Jiang Ying. It would only take ten minutes?

In other words, her guess was wrong. Li Yi was really just looking up a few facts…

Shangguan Yi said gently, “If that’s the case, then go check in the reference room.”

Just then, Jiang Ying fell silent. All she could do was to follow him into the reference room.

After Li Yi arrived at the reference room, he immediately found the “History of Medicine”.

This book recorded the full history of the monster pet veterinarian practice in this world.

He picked up the book and began to flip through it. After turning over a couple dozen pages, he found that, sure enough, there was no mention of the process whereby a chrysalis breaks through its cocoon and becomes a butterfly!

Indeed, the doctors of this world were silent on this fact. Their research was all focused on large animals with powerful fighting capabilities!

The research on insects was very scanty. And if you read even one word of these reports, you would surely laugh.
