Chapter 35

Because the equipment was relatively advanced, the inspection results came out very quickly, around 11 o'clock in the morning, and the final conclusion was exactly the same as that of Sala Border Town and Wangcheng.

The hospital could not find out why Jiaojiao was not gaining weight or growing taller, so it recommended that she be hospitalized for observation for a period of time. They planned to closely observe the secretion of growth hormone in Jiaojiao's hypothalamus and the changes in various cells.

Yin Zheng didn't really want Jiaojiao to be hospitalized. In fact, no one who raises a child would want their child to be hospitalized, because places like hospitals subconsciously give people a bad impression.

After some discussion, Yin Zheng finally decided to send Jiaojiao to the hospital during the day so that she would be there whenever she needed any examinations, and then take her back home at night. After all, their new home was only about twenty minutes away from the hospital.

The only good news was that Jiaojiao's ward was arranged opposite Luo Andeli.

It is obvious that Uncle Shillianbul got in through the back door to be able to be admitted to the inpatient department here and enjoy the uncrowded medical resources and services.

Hillianbull pinched her fair and tender little face. She really couldn't accept Yin Zheng opening the notebook on the terminal and carefully writing down the favor he had done her.

He pushed up his glasses to hide the twitching of his mouth: "No need. Since Jiaojiao called me uncle, I can't call you uncle for nothing."

"If you really mind, just call me Big Brother."

Luo Andeli, who was sitting in a wheelchair holding Jiaojiao, rolled his eyes when he heard this.

He is the eldest brother, but he appears to be a decent person on the surface. In fact, he is full of evil intentions in his heart.

Yin Zheng quickly closed the terminal and called out in a hoarse voice, "Brother."

Hillian Bull: “…………”

This person is not as inflexible as he appears to be!

Jiaojiao, who was in Luo Andeli's arms, looked at her father, then at Xilianbul, and shouted, "Big brother."

The childish voice reached the ears of the three people, making them stunned for a moment.

After Luo Andeli came to his senses, he rubbed Jiaojiao's furry head and said with a smile: "Well done."

It immediately elevated his generation status a lot.

After symbolically praising Jiaojiao, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Xilianbul and Yin Zheng, saying proudly, "What are you standing there for? Call me uncle!"

Hillian Bull ignored his smug look and turned his gaze to Jiaojiao, who was in his arms with confused eyes. For a moment, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He bent down and ruffled Jiaojiao's fluffy hair. "Your father called me 'Big Brother', so you should call me 'Uncle'."

Jiaojiao tilted her head in confusion. Although she didn't understand why, she still called out obediently, "Uncle."

"Yeah." Hillian Bull responded, and used the action of pushing up his glasses to hide the upturned corners of his mouth.

This child is really well-behaved, so well-behaved that people can't help but take more care of him.

Jiaojiao didn't stay long before she left with her father. Before leaving, he waved his little hand and said, "Goodbye, uncle, goodbye, Uncle Luo An. Jiaojiao will come to see you again tomorrow."

"Got it. Remember to have breakfast before coming tomorrow." Luo Andeli leaned back in his wheelchair and waved lazily with a smile. After Jiaojiao's figure disappeared from his sight, the smile on his face faded slightly, his nonchalant temperament became a little more cold, and a hint of solemnity appeared in his emerald green eyes.

He really didn't expect that St. Vincent's Hospital couldn't find the reason for Jiaojiao's "suspension of growth". This was really not happy news.

Hillianbul, who was leaning against the windowsill, expressed his understanding when he saw Luo Andeli's changed expression. Through his observation over the past two days, he found that the child was not only very cute and well-behaved, but also had an extraordinary affinity. This was an extraordinary talent. Didn't you see that after just two days of getting along, even he, who claimed to be a very rational person, couldn't help but want to take care of the child a few more times?

Not to mention Luo Andeli, a casual and unrestrained person. His love for the child comes from the bottom of his heart. Now that the child is obviously suffering from some disease whose symptoms and cause cannot be found, it is normal for him to feel bad.

And Hillianbul made another unexpected discovery. He noticed that when facing the child, Luo Andeli was very relaxed both physically and mentally. He was no longer like when he just woke up. Even his smile was tense.

After Yin Zheng said goodbye to Luo Andeli and Xilianbul, he took Jiaojiao to pay the hospital bill in advance.

"Dad, wait a minute." When paying the bill, Jiaojiao anxiously tugged at Yin Zheng's clothes. When she saw her father stop paying, she hurriedly lowered her head and took out the crystal coins from the pocket in front of her belly.

His hands were small, and a crystal coin lying flat in his hand could fill up his small hands.

But Jiaojiao was very smart. He held the crystal coin upright, and his white and tender little fingers tried hard to touch the uneven grooves on the surface of the crystal coin. After his left hand was full, he switched to his right hand, and finally took out a total of four crystal coins from his pocket.

He handed the crystal coin to Yin Zheng, his dark eyes slightly curved, and his voice was soft: "Jiaojiao, pay the fee."

After seeing this scene, the staff at the payment window was so touched that their hearts softened. They looked at Jiaojiao with eyes as soft as water, and they almost called her "baby".

In fact, the payment can be made at the terminal, but Yin Zheng has lived in the border town for a long time and has always paid in person, so he didn't know this.

He lowered his head and took a crystal coin from Jiaojiao's little hand as usual, and said in a low voice: "One is enough."

When handing the crystal coins to the staff, Yin Zheng scanned the payment code on the terminal for the cashier.

Jiaojiao, who was in her father's arms, stared at the terminal in his hand. She had seen her father use it to pay several times before. Jiaojiao puffed out her cheeks and looked up at Yin Zheng with her watery eyes: "Dad paid the bill, and you cheated Jiaojiao. I'm not happy."

A little surprised, Yin Zheng lowered his head and poked his bulging cheek. Seeing that he was indeed a little unhappy, he said, "Dad pays half, and Jiaojiao pays half, okay?"

"Okay." Jiaojiao nodded vigorously and put the remaining three crystal coins in his hand.

Yin Zheng took two of them and said, "That's enough."

Jiaojiao tilted her head: "I won't lie to Jiaojiao."

"No lie."

After hearing what her father said, Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes again, put the remaining crystal coin back into her pocket, and patted it with her little hands cherishing it.

The toll collector who witnessed everything at the toll window was so adorable that she stamped her feet repeatedly. To be honest, if Yin Zheng didn't look so tough, she would have wanted to take a couple of sneaky photos of him. It's rare to see such a cute kid.

After coaxing Jiaojiao, Yin Zheng glanced at the strange toll collector, then turned around and left with Jiaojiao in his arms.

At present, Jiaojiao does not need any expensive medicines or treatment equipment. Apart from the hospitalization fees, there are only some examination fees and miscellaneous expenses, which are still affordable for Yin Zheng.

In fact, logically speaking, Yin Zheng should be quite rich.

A level three alien species weighs about two to three hundred kilograms. Even if he didn't care about being undervalued in the past twelve years and sold it for about twenty kilograms of alien species meat at a price of one thousand crystal coins, one alien species could still be sold for fifteen thousand. In the past twelve years, he sold alien species meat every two days, which comes out to more than thirty-two million four hundred thousand, and this is without adding the alien core.

The market price of a third-level alien core is 100,000. If he sells it on the black market, 30,000 will be deducted, and the total profit is 70,000. Accumulated over twelve years, it is a huge fortune.

Not to mention that he would occasionally capture some level four or five alien species. In addition, he himself had no material requirements and always maintained the bottom line of just staying alive, so he hardly spent any money.

So where did his huge fortune go?

I was cheated!

Some people in the border town were wary of Yin Zheng, but at the same time coveted the huge wealth he brought. After discovering that he didn't care much about money, they began to target and make things difficult for him intentionally or unintentionally.

For example, the small yard in his chaotic area, other hunters only spent more than 100,000 to get the same yard, but he spent more than 2 million to get it. For another example, his resident certificate in the outer city not only cost him three times the contribution points of others, but also a large amount of money.

Everything he bought in the border town was fifty or sixty times more expensive than what others bought. At first, the terminal was a highly consumable item for Yin Zheng. It was easy to break due to frequent hunting of alien species, so it had to be replaced frequently, and the price of replacement was very high. Later, Yin Zheng learned his lesson and took down and hid the terminal before each hunting.

Yin Zheng's money was mostly spent on various long-term necessary expenses and various sudden and miscellaneous expenses.

Those people went from being terrified at the beginning to becoming unscrupulous after tasting the sweetness. This was the reason why Yin Zheng could not afford a space storage device and had to use oilcloth to pack things.

Of course, although it is easy to cheat Yin Zheng of his money, it is not without danger. Over the years, many people who cheated Yin Zheng when he had little money died at his hands. Now the grass on their graves is too tall because they are afraid of him.

In fact, anyone who knows Yin Zheng a little knows that as long as you don't touch the bottom line that endangers his life, he will not pay much attention to or care about you.

But someone happened to take advantage of the time when Yin Zheng was injured and used his last bit of money to buy medicine to cheat him. He also set a trap for him to borrow money with a very high interest rate.

The debt was so high that Yin Zheng hunted alien species in the Endless Sea day and night to pay off his debt. The more he paid off his debt, the more debt he owed. Until one day, Yin Zheng was injured due to long-term hunting and almost died in the Endless Sea. Then a massacre against those who cheated him of his money began.

That year Yin Zheng was nineteen years old, and that was also the year when the people in the Chaos Zone reached their peak of fear and dread of him.

In short, Yin Zheng has money now, but not that much. After leaving the border town and being unable to enter the Endless Sea to hunt alien species, his source of income has been cut off.

He had to find a new source of income.

Wait, wait, wait, there are more
