Chapter 215 234. Company
Xu Zhi didn't want to do any testing. She couldn't be sure whether the test results would reveal anything, but she obviously couldn't refuse directly at the moment.
"Alright, although your body is still very fragile, it's at least showing signs of healing. I've prepared a bucket of medicine for you today. Soak it for two hours. When you get home, take the newly prescribed medicine for ten days."
"Xiaoman!" he shouted again.
The nurse who had just started a game looked up with a look of surprise and saw Zhuang Xuchao making a gesture of request. Nurse Xiaoman rolled her eyes helplessly and reminded him, "Give me a raise!"
"Of course, of course." Zhuang Xu said this again. In fact, he was really taking advantage of Xiaoman, a person with a [Heart] attribute, who was working as a nurse for him at a low salary.
Extraordinary people have stronger physical fitness than ordinary people. Therefore, although Xiaoman's body does not look very strong, she picked up Xu Zhi as if he was holding a piece of foam, and easily carried Xu Zhi to the back of the clinic.
Xu Zhi knew that there was another room at the back of the clinic, but he didn't know what it looked like inside. After all, even the operating table was placed outside, so what else could be placed inside?
When he opened the door and walked in, he saw several exaggeratedly large medicine cabinets placed on all four sides of the room. A silver laboratory table was filled with reagents and instruments. There were also several computers in the room placed next to the laboratory table. There were dense wires and pipes under his feet. The other half of the room was also filled with many instruments that Xu Zhi could not understand. The whole room looked a bit messy. Some of the exposed wires seemed to be running, and some of the instruments also emitted ice-blue neon lights.
Like some kind of Frankenstein's room.
In the middle of the pile of instruments and mechanical items, there was an extremely plain-looking wooden barrel. At this moment, the barrel was half filled with an unknown liquid, which looked a bit like medicinal juice and smelled very bitter and herbal.
Xiaoman changed Xu Zhi's clothes and then soaked her in a wooden barrel. She then started a new game on her mobile phone.
"Two hours later, I'll call you." Then he immersed himself in the game.
Xu Zhi had been soaking in the wooden barrel for only about ten seconds when she noticed her body starting to itch. It wasn't her skin that was itching, but it was as if the medicine in the barrel was quite strong. The wounds in her body were healing and growing rapidly, giving off an itchy feeling and a faint feeling that was almost like growing pains.
Xu Zhi gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to scratch. He turned to look at Nurse Xiaoman and asked, "How come this medicine works so quickly after soaking it in?"
Xiaoman looked up at Xu Zhi in her busy schedule: "It's powerful, right?"
His tone was quite proud.
“Big is right!”
"You must have been a young lady before. You haven't experienced the medicine here. We prescribe the most potent and effective medicine."
"Won't there be any disadvantages?" Xu Zhi was puzzled. After all, all medicine is poisonous.
"Of course there are." Xiaoman lowered her head and continued playing games, her tone nonchalant: "But the most important thing is to cure the disease as soon as possible. As for the disadvantages, they are all minor problems."
No lower-class person wants to take time to cure an illness. The cheaper and stronger the medicine prescribed by the doctor, the better. As for whether there will be any adverse effects after taking the medicine or whether it will cause any damage, as long as it does not affect life and work, it does not matter.
"Then this one of mine."
Xiaoman thought for a moment and said, "You're using good herbs, but they're a bit cold. At most, you'll just have arm and leg pain on rainy days. If your extraordinary abilities can't be restored and you don't have extraordinary energy to transform your body, your bones will probably start to deform by middle age. Living in a humid environment could lead to severe leg pain or even paralysis."
"But overall, it's not a drug with significant side effects."
Xu Zhi:?
Isn’t this serious?!
How do you define "serious" here?
No, do you think your small clinic prescribes such strong medicines?
Isn't this just overdrawing the body's future functions to repair current damage, like robbing Peter to pay Paul?
Seeing Xu Zhi's shocked expression, Xiaoman rarely said a word of comfort.
"Don't feel bad. Zhuang Xu said that your injury can't be cured without such extreme methods. There's no medicine at the grassroots level that can gently cure your condition. Your body is no different from a corpse. If it were someone else, they might not even think of this method."
Hearing this, Xu Zhi was a little curious: "Is Doctor Zhuang very good?"
"Of course." Xiaoman nodded. The sound of a kill came from the phone. Her finger moved rapidly on the phone screen. "Zhuang Xu was not a low-level doctor before. Compared with other black doctors, he is much more powerful."
Otherwise, Xiaoman would not have asked him for help in the first place, and she would not have owed him a favor. Now she stays to work as a nurse and has to work hard to make money after get off work.
"I can't remember clearly. Can you tell me where else it is besides the bottom floor?"
Xu Zhi asked with a confused look on her face. She thought that Xiaoman was a superhuman and should know more than Qi Yanxin. And based on the contact over the past two days, this nurse was not stupid, but she just couldn't hold back her words many times.
Sure enough, when she asked, Xiaoman didn't think too much about it and simply explained it to her.
"I don't know much. After all, I haven't been there. Although I'm a transcendent, my level is too low and my innate circuits aren't very good. I'm not qualified to be taken up there."
"But there are some things everyone knows, like there are six floors up there. Floors five and six are called the lower area, floors three and four are the middle area, and floors one and two are the upper area. Easy to remember, right?"
"Here we are, it's called the bottom layer."
Xiaoman's tone was a little subtle when she said this, with a hint of self-mockery.
"I'm not sure about the details, but I heard that no matter whether they were upper, middle, or lower class, as long as they were from the upper cities, they could receive an education from birth. There were very few people there who couldn't read or write. I heard that people in the lower-class areas had to go to school for at least two years."
"So awesome?" Xu Zhi added an appropriate supporting role.
"Right!" Xiaoman nodded vigorously. "And I heard that those basic education schools are sponsored by big companies and consortiums. As long as someone is chosen, they can sign a contract with the company and study for two years for free. After graduation, they can go straight to work for the company!"
Xu Zhi heard the envy in Xiaoman's tone, so she decisively said, "Is there such a good thing?"
"Who says it's not? That's working in a company, not a factory. Hey, I heard the company gives us at least one day off a month, and there are all kinds of employee benefits."
Xiaoman's tone was full of envy. Although Xu Zhi also showed longing on his face, he had a question mark in his heart.
What's going on? This company doesn't sound very humane.
It sounds nice to say that it is free sponsorship of reading, but isn’t it still a talent monopoly in essence?
What if the person she likes rejects the contract? Will she still be able to study?
Xu Zhi questioned this.
