"That's an electronic virus, not a biological virus..." Cheng Zhu muttered, but finally agreed.

Good news! The infirmary's medical skills were amazing; they cured Chengzhu's voice, allowing her to regain her powerful singing voice.

The better news is that none of the three people have been contaminated.

But there is bad news.

"What?! This full-body checkup costs 50,000 Universal Points?!" Cheng Zhu was somewhat frantic, and even began to suspect that Alice was a shill for the artificial intelligence, with the aim of colluding with this world to swindle him out of his money.

"It's not that a full physical exam requires 50,000 yuan, it's that treating your throat requires 50,000 yuan."

The doctor, wearing a white coat and a mask, earnestly explained the prices to Cheng Zhu: "Your appointment was originally scheduled for later, three days later, but because your classmate booked an expedited appointment for you, the price will definitely be higher."

"What about the physical examination?"

Cheng Zhu would never believe that anything in this world could exist without spending money.

The doctor glanced at the bill printed by the AI ​​and replied casually, "A full physical exam costs 130,000 Universal Points. There was a slight viral contamination, which has now been cleared. The total cost will be 200,000 Universal Points."

"What?! Why aren't you going to rob it?!"

Cheng Zhu was furious and almost uttered the last two words.

Because she had already anticipated that even if she spoke up, the other party might just casually tell her, "They're already scrambling for it; it's always been this price. If you don't have money, don't come to see a doctor."

Seeing Mary and Alice's calm demeanor, Cheng Zhu sighed and prepared to take out his money, but Alice stopped him: "Just put this money in my account. It's not much, and I can afford it."

Anyway, it's not her money.

Alice knew perfectly well how she got her money and status, but Cheng Zhu didn't. He immediately slid down on one knee and grabbed her hand, saying, "Sister, you are my only sister! If you tell me to go east, I will never go west. If you tell me to eat bitter melon, I will never put a single piece of sugar in it."

"No, no, it's not that bad..." Alice hurriedly helped Cheng Zhu up, who had suddenly come up with the idea. In terms of intermittent lapses in judgment, Cheng Zhu and she were a bit too similar, weren't they?

After this little incident, before the three could discuss what to do next, the loudspeaker in the hallway came on:

"Attention students of Slote High School! Attention students of Slote High School! It is time for morning exercises. All students in the North Campus, please arrive at the school stadium before 12:00 noon. To reiterate, it is time for morning exercises. All students in the North Campus, please arrive at the school stadium before 12:00 noon."

The broadcast was repeated twice more before the hallway finally returned to silence.

Alice checked the time and quickly said, "It's 11:40 now. It's at least a ten-minute walk from here to the stadium, but if you pay to use the teleportation array, it only takes one minute."

"How much does a teleportation array cost?" Cheng Zhu's internal alarm bells rang. "I think we should just walk there."

Alice grinned and raised her right hand: "Only 60,000 Universal Points."

“Alice, listen to my advice.” Cheng Zhu put his hands on Alice’s shoulders, his expression unusually serious: “I know your family is noble and rich, but money can’t be wasted like this. We can make it if we walk, let’s go now.”

Alice smiled and did not refute.

Mary stopped Cheng Zhu, looking puzzled. Her eyes scanned the air, clearly browsing a webpage. "But don't you guys find it strange? It's lunchtime, why is the school making us do morning exercises? Could it be the virus?"

As the most prestigious higher education institution in Smart City, Slote High School is extremely lenient with its students, offering a wide range of thoughtful club activities.

This school has always upheld the humanistic philosophy of "seeking knowledge while also giving back to society," encouraging students not only to study intensively but also to participate in club and community activities. To this end, a credit system has been established. For example, the "guardian" Cheng Zhu encountered was willing to "lower his status" and become a mutual aid provider for suburban immigrants, all for the sake of the credits.

Of course, the school also attaches great importance to the students' physical health, with fixed physical education classes every week, but running exercises? These are physical activities only found in primary schools and lower secondary schools, so it is rather inconceivable to have them at Slote High School.

Alice didn't have too many questions: "Let's go check the surrounding area first. If there's a problem, we can just not go into the playground."

In life, one must be flexible and adaptable.

Cheng Zhu agreed with Alice's opinion. To be honest, before she was chosen as the Chosen One, no other Chosen One had encountered such a thing, so Cheng Zhu was actually not sure either.

However, looking at it from another perspective, none of the other chosen ones encountered a special, top-tier wealthy native like Alice, so perhaps they might have some opportunities of their own. If all else fails, she still has her green talent. After several interactions with higher-dimensional beings, Chengzhu truly had complete faith in Him.

Whatever His purpose may be, the fact that it can be His own talent suggests that He should be able to help Him.

That's the case, at least for now.

On their way to the stadium, the three of them occasionally saw other students. Not every student listened to the broadcast; some of the locals clearly didn't trust it and expressed rather radical skepticism when Cheng Zhu asked them: "Running during lunchtime? That's weird; only an idiot would do that."

Cheng Zhu touched his nose, but did not stop walking.
