For the people of the Empire, blood is more than just private.
Even a small amount of blood can be used to extract genetic information. If it is obtained by someone with ulterior motives, it can be used for research at best, or even copied to impersonate someone else.
What's worse, in recent years, it is said that the empire's mortal enemy is researching viruses that specifically target individual genetic sequences, so if personal genetic information is leaked, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Of course, ordinary people don't care about this. Otherwise, how could they live with such strict precautions? It's not just blood, you know. Sneezing on the street or eating at a restaurant also releases a ton of genetic information. So, unless it involves something particularly sensitive like hair or blood, ordinary people don't have much of a taboo about it.
Ye Ruisheng didn't know what Jin Chu wanted human blood for. He believed that Jin Chu would not do anything excessive, but he would not privately transfer other people's blood to him. This was his responsibility to others.
But his own can.
He actually said this very seriously, but after he said it, he realized that there was a hint of ambiguity, and a trace of unnaturalness appeared on Ye Ruisheng's face.
Jinchu was also a little stunned.
Just agree like that?
Although I wanted to take the opportunity to get this person's blood, but before he even opened his mouth, this person offered it to me. I felt... well, a little embarrassed, but also... quite touched.
"Oh, I see." Jin Chu scratched his head, "Okay then, thank you."
"Do you want it now?" Ye Ruisheng asked.
"Um!"
Ye Ruisheng said, "Come with me."
He brought Jin Chu into the hover car. This hover car was many times more advanced than the one the bearded man rode for the first time. It looked ordinary on the outside, but it was super large, super clean, and super grand on the inside.
The back of the car was filled with cat food cans, but there was still a lot of space in the front, with a high-end operating table, chairs, and even a narrow boat for resting.
This is not a car, it's a mobile house, and a luxurious one at that.
Ye Ruisheng asked Jinchu to sit on the bed and took out a set of blood collection devices: "How much do you want?" He disinfected his arm and inserted the needle into the blood vessel. Then the deep red blood flowed along the tube into the vacuum blood collection bag.
Jinchu was quietly touching the white sheet under his buttocks. It felt soft, cool, and surprisingly comfortable. He looked over and saw that the blood bag was bulging with blood. He hurriedly said, "Enough!"
Ye Ruisheng pulled out the needle and applied some ointment to the needle hole on his arm. The wound healed immediately. He removed the blood collection tube and destroyed it. He gave the blood collection bag to Jin Chu: "This is very important to me. Please don't give it to others, okay?"
Jin Chu took the bag of heavy, warm, red blood. At that moment, he felt that this thing was very tricky, especially the temperature, which made him feel a little hot. He felt uncomfortable, as if he was holding something particularly extraordinary.
"Since it's so important, why did you give it to me when you didn't even know what I was going to do with it?" Jin Chu stuttered. Strange, why was his speech so incoherent? Also, was it the heat of the blood? He felt his face getting hot.
Ye Ruisheng smiled and said, "That day you thought I was an accomplice of that group, but you saved me without hesitation." He would not believe that someone who had saved him twice and made him feel close to him would harm him.
Jinchu wondered, are all humans this grateful? Thinking back on the past few days since their reunion, he'd almost felt like he was being ignored. Although he hadn't held back, he was still incredibly relieved. He'd truly saved the right person; all those leaves hadn't been wasted!
So happy!
Looking at the bag of blood in his hand, he turned around and pretended to rummage around in his pocket, but in fact he had just plucked off two new leaves. He turned back and handed them forward: "Here!"
Ye Ruisheng looked at the two green, crystal-clear, plump leaves that looked like works of art: "This is..."
"It's a gift to reciprocate. I'm giving you food. This is very important to me, so don't give it to anyone else."
Ye Ruisheng took the leaf. He could always smell the faint fragrance of grass and wood on Jin Chu. Sometimes he would almost miss it if he was not paying attention. But the moment the leaf appeared, the interior of the hovercraft was almost filled with the fragrance of grass and wood, and there was an additional feeling of freshness and coolness. Just breathing it made him feel relaxed and happy.
He recalled what he had eaten several times before, and it was probably this kind of leaf: "This is the leaf you used to save me, right? Besides this, there are also petals?"
Jinchu coughed twice: "I don't know, I don't know, I'm leaving now."
Ye Ruisheng smiled and pulled him back: "This car is for you."
Jinchu: “Huh?”
"Don't you have your own house? This place is about to be demolished. This car can be used as a house for the time being. If you think it is too heavy, you can remove the rear compartment and it will become an ordinary hover car, which is also convenient for daily transportation." Ye Ruisheng said.
Jin Chu was not too cold, but he didn't want to live in a house. If he wanted to go out, he would let the little cat take him for a run. It was faster and more convenient than anything else.
“I can’t drive either.”
"I'll teach you."
Jin Chu: "..." He felt a little awkward when he heard the word "teach".
Ye Ruisheng said, "You still need to learn how to fly a spaceship, so you should practice flying a hovercraft first."
Jinchu was immediately tempted: "Okay!"
Driving a hover car is very simple. Generally, hover cars are equipped with automatic driving systems. Just input the destination and it will drive away by itself. Very few manual operations are required. Even if you do it manually throughout the whole process, it is actually very simple. Jinchu learns very quickly. Compared with writing and calculating on paper, his hands-on ability can be said to be super strong.
After the hover car went out for a spin, he basically learned how to drive it. It must be said that the feeling of driving a big thing in the air is still very fresh. Ye Ruisheng mainly wanted him to experience this.
In the end, Ye Ruisheng handed over the supreme ownership and command of the hovercraft to Jin Chu, and taught him how to use other auxiliary functions. Finally, he gave him the hovercraft driver's license that had been prepared long ago. The mission was completed. Next, he needed to go back to prepare for the military parade and leave District 9 today.
"If you have anything, please send me a message. If you have time, we can meet on Starnet." He said finally.
"I know!" Jin Chu said happily, touching the operating panel, thinking about driving the hover car for another spin. No, he should find little cat to test his blood first.
His mind was completely elsewhere. Ye Ruisheng shook his head, got out of the car and left.
After he left, the three brothers quietly emerged from the courtyard, their entire bodies relaxed. They were quite afraid of this big man. First, because he had beaten those people that day, and the three-dimensional surround sound contained in his spiritual power when he asked questions was very scary. Then, they recognized this man as the Governor. In short, they were both respectful and afraid of him.
They admired Jinchu even more because he had a good relationship with the Governor.
The three of them gathered around the hovercar, touching and looking at it. These days, in a place like District 9, owning a hovercar is definitely something to be envied. You can show off your wealth in all sorts of ways. Not to mention, while this hovercar may look understated, it's actually a very impressive brand, and its size makes it look amazing when parked in this slum area.
The residents around here also came out to see what was new, expressing their envy and jealousy.
Jin Chu leaned over to take a look, hesitated for a moment, and did not let the three brothers get on the car to take a look. For some reason, he didn't really want anyone else to come in.
He closed the car door, and the little cat, who had almost eaten most of the cat food cans in the car, came in from the connection between the front and rear compartments, licking its paws happily, looking like it was enjoying itself and wanted to sleep.
Jinchu smiled and picked it up, patting its belly: "Are you full now?"
"Meow." Not yet, but it will savor the rest slowly. Open one can in one minute, no, open one can in five minutes.
Jinchu poured out some of the blood in the blood collection bag and kept the rest. In the blood collection bag, the blood would maintain a constant temperature and would not coagulate. It was said that it could be preserved for a long time.
Then he asked the little cat to stretch out its right front paw and carefully smeared the blood on its white, translucent nails. He was so careful, just like a professional manicurist.
"Meow." The cat half-lay down, watching his movements intently. When all five of its little nails were smeared with blood, the man and the cat just stared and waited.
"Little Meow, how do you feel?"
"Meow." It seems not.
"What now?"
"Meow?" It seemed a little hot.
Jinchu was a little excited, and after a while asked again: "How is it now?"
"Meow!" It seemed to be getting hotter.
The man and the cat watched the blood on the nail being gradually absorbed. After a long time, it finally solidified into a bright red on the fingertip, and the nail became beautifully transparent.
Exactly the same claw as the one on the left!
"Meow meow meow!" Little Meow stood up excitedly and walked around, admiring his beautiful new nails. Jin Chu stared blankly at the blood collection bag: "So that guy's blood is really that powerful?"
But he couldn't tell anything from just looking at it, so he beckoned Little Meow over and discussed with it, "How about we try some other human blood?"
"Meow." Little Meow was a little unhappy, but still agreed.
Jinchu opened the car door slightly, put his roots down, crawled on the ground, found the three brothers, and stabbed each of them with his roots. The three brothers thought they were bitten by small insects and did not notice anything unusual.
Jinchu took back the roots, and there was a drop of blood on each of them. He first smeared Lao Yi's blood on Xiao Miaomiao's nails, and then waited until his eyelids were almost closed, but there was no change at all, and then he saw that the blood was completely solidified on the nails.
Facing the little cat's suspicious eyes, he sneered, wiped off the blood, and replaced it with the drop of blood from the second brother.
Then something strange happened. Although it took a long time and only a very small amount of blood was absorbed, it was still absorbed. The cat's body also changed slightly, and a faint red line could be seen in the nails.
Jinchu was confused. Why were the two results different?
He tested the third brother's blood again, and just like the first brother, there was no reaction.
Jinchu fell into deep thought. Was there anything particularly different about Lao Er? Or did he and Ye Ruisheng have anything in common?
Thinking about it, he finally thought of something. He looked at the little cat that was staring at the nail with only a trace of red line on it, looking left and right with a tangled face, and reached out his hand: "Meow, can you scratch me and see how it goes?"
"Meow?"
"I didn't resist, and you scratched my skin with your unpainted hind claws."
The kitten looked at him hesitantly, sat up, stretched out one of its hind paws, extended its little finger, and quickly scratched Jin Chu's hand.
After being scratched, light green liquid oozed out and naturally stained the cat's paw. Then, it was visible to the naked eye that the liquid was absorbed by the cat's nails, and the fingers became very transparent. If you didn't look closely, it seemed as if it didn't exist. But in that transparency, it was stained with a beautiful and pleasing new green.
