Chen Cang clicked on the vaguely forming question mark.
“Ding! NPC Zhang Dalong has issued a task: stitch up the wound and the tattoo on the arm. The reward will be determined by the outcome—the more satisfied Zhang Dalong is, the richer the reward will be!”
When Chen Cang looked up again, he had made up his mind to keep this person here!
He raised his hand and shouted!
“Stop right there!”
Zhang Dalong was about to leave when he was startled by the sudden shout, just like the feeling of being caught by a teacher while skipping school!
He felt somewhat sheepish and guilty!
ChenCang: “Sit down!”
For some reason, Zhang Dalong suddenly felt like sitting down, his legs not quite obeying him.
Zhang Dalong, with widened eyes, seemed to want to argue about something, but noticed that Chen Cang had already picked up a knife.
So he chose to shut his mouth!
Or should we say… he was angry but dared not speak?
Chen Cang took off the clothes covering the man’s arm and saw a long cut, running from the dragon’s horn straight to its foot, piercing right through the dragon’s head, greatly affecting its overall impressiveness.
Zhang Dalong opened his mouth and said softly, “Doctor, look at my right arm.”
Chen Cang was startled, looked down seriously, and after pondering for a while said, “Is this… the mythical creature with features of four different animals?”
Zhang Dalong coughed and said, “This is the White Tiger!”
Chen Cang:…
“This White Tiger looks a bit… mutated!”
Zhang Dalong shook his head and sighed: “Someone else stitched it up, and it turned into this mess back and forth! Now I just want to have it removed.”
Having said that, Zhang Dalong suddenly looked at Chen Cang, “Doctor, this dragon of mine…”
Chen Cang took a closer look: “It has single eyelids!”
Zhang Dalong: “???”
Chen Cang began to scrutinize it carefully, and the “Beauty’s Eye” in his eyes naturally activated. At this moment, there had been too many deviations in this scene from Chen Gang’s perspective.
His eyes began to conceive how to sketch so as to stitch it up without losing its dominance!
After all, the reward was linked to the level of satisfaction!
Zhang Dalong was about to speak, but Chen Cang interrupted directly: “Don’t talk, don’t move either, otherwise it’ll affect the muscle shape, and if I end up stitching it into a lizard, I won’t be responsible.”
Zhang Dalong shut his mouth—you have the knife, you rule!
“This wound clearly wasn’t made by a knife. It’s very irregular. What caused it?”
Zhang Dalong: “…”
Chen Cang: “What caused the injury? Don’t you remember?”
Zhang Dalong, with a fearful face: “You told me not to talk… what if it becomes a lizard, how embarrassing that would be.”
Chen Cang: “It’s alright, I haven’t started stitching yet.”
Zhang Dalong: “A beer bottle. It was that guy you saw just now, but I didn’t suffer any loss. The tiger on his stomach got decapitated by me!”
As he said this, Zhang Dalong was full of joy, quite proud!
Chen Cang nodded, opened the wound cleaning and suturing kit, and began cleaning the wound, anesthetizing and stitching.
At this moment, the brother’s nine buddies came in and gathered around to watch Chen Cang stitch up the wound.
Zhang Dalong didn’t dare to make a sound, for fear that Chen Cang would stitch up a lizard.
Meanwhile, Chen Cang, holding the needle with tweezers, continued to trace and sketch, as if painting!
He began stitching from the head of the dragon. Due to the irregularity of the cut, he had to insert the needle in multiple points in order not to disrupt the tattoo, thus increasing the complexity of the task.
However, this was still Chen Gang’s first time doing such detailed artisanal work, and he felt a bit of anticipation.
The dragon’s eye was cut open!
Chen Cang frowned, wondering how to handle it.
Suddenly, he thought of a small technique for creating double eyelids that
Zhang Zhixin used, which could definitely be applied to the eye!
With that thought, Chen Cang felt unhurried and even a bit excited.
A few minutes later, the people behind him began to express their shock!
“Damn, those dragon eyes are badass!”
“Right? But they seem to look a little different now!”
“No kidding, from single to double eyelids, how could they look the same?”
“Get lost, I think the dragon’s eyes are even more domineering, it feels like they’re glaring at me!”
“Holy crap? Now that you mention it, I feel the same way too?”
“Amazing!”
“Too awesome!”
A bunch of little brothers were chattering away, leaving Zhang Dalong utterly baffled—what on earth was happening?
But remembering what Chen Cang had said just now, he dared not move an inch, fearing that he might repeat the same mistake and end up with something as freakish as his right arm.
At this moment, he felt an itching curiosity—what exactly had happened?
Why were these people so excited?
Thinking this, Zhang Dalong felt like ants were crawling all over him, the itchiness unbearable.
“Look, look, here… here! The stitching is amazing, it even brings out the dragon scales.”
“That’s nothing, check out this line, does it look like a dragon’s whisker to you?”
“Oh my, it does! It really does!”
“Hey, hey, hey? Look from my angle, it’s freaking majestic, this is way too cool!”
The chattering noise had already faded from Chen Gang’s ears—his soul seemed to have merged with Zhang Dalong’s arm!
Finally, with the last stitch in place and a handsome surgical knot tied, Chen Cang said, “Alright, stand up and have a look at the result, I’m going to bandage it up for you.”
Zhang Dalong watched as a crowd of little brothers marveled at his arm, somewhat perplexed!
He got up and hesitantly stood in front of a mirror.
With one look, Zhang Dalong was flabbergasted!
Stunned!
Astonished!
This…
This is the real dragon!
Explosion!
Cool to the point of explosion!
Feel like a dragon soaring through the nine provinces, leaping over the four seas, don’t you?
Zhang Dalong felt his breathing quicken, his eyes widening to the point he could barely look directly, because he noticed that in the mirror, this majestic giant dragon was staring right at him.
Looking at it was somewhat hair-raising…
He shifted to a different angle and found it was still the same.
The dragon’s eyes were still fixed on him.
Shocking!
Zhang Dalong’s heart pounded; his shoulders twitched.
This was nothing short of a miracle!
He carefully turned his head to look at his arm and noticed that after the stitching, the dragon’s eye looked even more domineering and spirited, and even… had double eyelids???
Zhang Dalong fell silent!
Chen Cang was taken aback and turned to Zhang Dalong, “What’s up? Are you satisfied or not?”
Zhang Dalong continued to be silent.
Chen Cang was dumbfounded—damn it, could it be a screw-up?
He felt a pang of anxiety!
All of a sudden, Zhang Dalong looked at Chen Cang with deep emotion, “Doctor! No! You are not a doctor!”
“I think you are an artist! A great artist who heals the human soul! This dragon! It’s fantastic; you’ve literally brought it to life!”
“You are a great artist, and I think this dragon should have a new name, called… called… the Mona Lisa Dragon!”
Chen Cang burst out laughing!
“What?”
Zhang Dalong said with conviction, “The Mona Lisa Dragon!”
“Think about it, no matter from which direction or angle you look at this dragon, it seems to be staring at you, just like the Mona Lisa!”
“So it should be named: the Mona Lisa Dragon!”
“Don’t you guys agree?” Zhang Dalong looked at his gang of little brothers!
“Right! Great choice of name!”
“The boss is quick-witted, highly talented, and well-learned—a true scholar!”
“This name is understated luxury with depth, combining Western art and Eastern tradition perfectly!”
“Boss, I suggest you make a social media post to show Zhao Huqiu what a real master looks like!”
