Sang Ning wasn't lying; the original owner really was bitten by a sand worm and almost lost her life.
I still have a deep scar on my calf; the sand worm bit me and tore off all the flesh from my face.
The reason she survived without suffering any leg injuries was primarily due to her good fortune. The insect that bit her was a larva only about 70 centimeters long, and its venom wasn't very potent. In addition, the governor happened to be carrying a box to deliver nutrient solution to the elderly and happened to pass by, killing the sand worm and saving her life. Otherwise, the outcome would have been uncertain.
Even so, due to the poisoning, the original owner took a long time to recover.
The whole body was swollen and red, and in some places the skin had even ulcerated.
Although it healed later, the scar remained forever.
Recalling the past, Sang Ning cautioned, "You absolutely mustn't scratch it, or it will leave a scar!"
Louis replied, "With scar removal liquid, your worries are not a problem."
Sang Ning, "The effect is very good?"
"It's very good. The main function of the scar removal liquid is similar to that of the cell repair liquid. Whether it is an old wound or a new wound, it only takes a week to heal completely with either the scar removal liquid or the cell repair liquid."
Sang Ning pondered for a moment, "Is it expensive?"
"Cell repair solution is a bit more expensive, while scar removal solution is very cheap. Both of them are actually not expensive and are common household medicines."
Sang Ning was relieved to hear this. After the survival challenge on the desolate planet was over, she could buy some scar removal liquid to use.
She has the formula for traditional palace scar removal cream, and several versions of it, but no matter which version, they are only effective for new wounds, and can only lighten old scars.
It's impossible to remove all traces completely.
As for scar removal liquid...
She reached up and lifted her trouser leg, pointing to a dent left on her calf after a patch of skin had healed. "Can this be healed with scar removal liquid?"
Louis and his companions looked down at her legs upon hearing the noise, and what they saw shocked them.
"How did your leg get such a serious injury?"
"I was bitten by a sandworm, and a large piece of skin and flesh was torn off."
Sang Ning said calmly, and Emmanuel asked, "How old were you then?"
"Under ten years old".
Everyone fell silent. What kind of terrible environment must have existed for a child under ten years old to be bitten like this?
No one asked her why she didn't get treatment back then, because everyone knew how poor planet E72 was.
People who weren't born on a poverty-stricken planet will never understand what the cheap nutrient solution they consider garbage means to people on that planet.
Therefore, no one is so emotionally inept as to reopen old wounds for Sang Ning and everyone on planet E72.
I just asked her if it hurt or if she was scared.
"It hurts."
Sang Ning nodded, "But the pain is only temporary. Afterwards, the pain will become numb. However, the toxins entering the body are even more painful and can torment a person to the point of wishing for death."
"The common household antidotes you are familiar with are something we don't have, and every year people die from sandworm toxins."
She made no attempt to hide her fear, saying, "I was really lucky to survive. The sandworm that bit me was a juvenile sandworm, so its venom wasn't that potent."
"But after the toxins invaded my body, I was weak for more than two months. The feeling of swelling, pain and itching all over my body made it hard to eat and sleep. It was very torturous."
"Because people die every day from the venom of sandworms, and I witness death every day, I knew what death was from a very young age."
"When I was lying in the sand shelter being taken care of by my grandparents, I was worried every day that I was going to die."
She smiled as she said this, "But I'm tough, I managed to survive."
That smile made everyone's eyes well up with tears. They couldn't imagine what kind of situation Sang Ning was in to be able to let go of his suffering.
There were no complaints, no blaming others or fate, only relief and peace of mind.
She accepted all the hardships in her life, faced them bravely and accepted them calmly, and grew step by step in the midst of suffering. She seized the opportunity to audit classes on the StarNet, even though she had never received a systematic education and did not even have a diploma.
But who dares to say that her knowledge is inferior to that of those who have received systematic education?
She knows things that they don't.
But what they can do, she can't.
Is this something to be proud of?
no.
Because she was born on planet E72, she lost the opportunity to receive a systematic education from the moment she was born. If given the opportunity, she could learn just as well as they do.
They might even learn better than them.
Put yourself in her shoes. If they were in her environment, could they achieve what she did?
That's hard to say.
Sang Ning's smile reminded them of the Starflower that grows in the cosmos.
This is the only plant that can live in outer space, using cosmic radiation as nutrients and celestial fragments in the starry sea, namely meteorites, as its growth base.
Flowers bloom and fade endlessly in the sea of stars, and seeds of hope are sown there, waiting for the day to sprout and grow again, blossoming into beautiful flowers in the sea of stars.
The word of the starflower is resilience.
Sang Ning, and indeed all humanity on planet E72, are as resilient as the Starflower symbolizes.
So why won't the centralized government allocate more funds to planet E72? Even if it's just to repair their star network so the children can receive a systematic education, that would be good enough.
[I guess the government can't afford it, after all, there are still quite a few poor stars, and besides, there are rules and regulations in place.]
If we give more financial allocations to planet E72, should we also give them to other impoverished planets? If we do, even small amounts add up to a considerable sum. The finance minister, known for his stinginess throughout Moikaz, would go crazy; he might even resign.
However, infrastructure and education are crucial to the development of a race. The humans on planet E72 are purebred humans whose genes have not been mixed. According to the Covenant of Universal Civilization, they are an independent race. Races with better conditions and authoritarian centers have an obligation to extend a helping hand to planet E72 and provide appropriate assistance.
[Theoretically, that's true, but don't forget, it's not just the centralized power that's intentionally ignoring E72; most intelligent races are ignoring it. Otherwise, why is news about E72 consistently blocked from the public among so many impoverished planets? Think about the root cause of this, and you'll see there's something wrong.]
The attitude of the centralized power and various intelligent races toward planet E72 was indeed very strange. Before Sunning appeared, the most direct impression of planet E72 was that the planet was very poor, so poor that their governors had no shame and put on a show of crying, making a scene, threatening suicide, and rolling on the ground in the centralized power building.
After Sang Ning appeared, the public's impression of planet E72 changed.
