Chapter 209 Going Home to Watch TV
The sudden appearance of The Legend of the Condor Heroes has taken away a lot of the popularity of Medicine God.
However, some people are still paying attention to the movie "Dying to Survive".
Because they really can empathize with it.
[I really envy the country in the movie, even though it is poor and backward.]
[My mother is a C-class female, her two partners are B-class, and I am also a C-class orc male.
Although my family is not well off, at least we can earn a living by our own labor.
But then my brother and sister were born.
The younger brother is a half-orc, while the younger sister is a pure human who was born with a genetic disease.
She has to take three health-enhancing potions every month to maintain her health, and needs to go to the medical cabin at least five times a month.
The most expensive thing is the monthly genetic medicine, which costs 30,000 star coins per bottle. Without it, she will die.
I have no objection to our officials. I know that this price is already the lowest price offered by the hospital.
It's just a little heartbreaking to think that she might not live to adulthood because she can't afford the medicine...]
In fact, at the beginning, people did not discriminate against pure human genes.
Some people even feel that they have regressed to their ancestors and are lucky people who have been blessed with the genes of their ancestors.
At that time, pure human genes were very popular.
But soon, they were found to have a defect, that is, pure human genes could not survive in today's interstellar space.
If you want to live, you can only rely on long-term medication.
Those poor families were directly dragged down.
Even wealthy families no longer like such children from then on.
Because even if they can afford medicine, it is useless because the child is destined to die young. If they invest their emotions in the child, they are destined to see the child die before them.
Therefore, the pure human cubs born were hated by everyone.
The situation of females is better, as their families are more likely to be reluctant to give them up.
Later, it was only after the authorities intervened and introduced various support and regulations that they were no longer abandoned by their families at birth.
Just wait until you grow up.
The government will give priority to providing jobs to people with pure human genes, and there will also be subsidies for purchasing medicines.
Even if you are kicked out of your home at this time, you can still survive. Although your life will not be good, you can still survive.
Some lucky ones can escape from this predicament on their own, but those who are unable to do so can only live in a daze in this big world.
So even after watching the movie "Dying to Survive", people suffering from illness did not call for price reductions in medicines.
Because they know that the Federation is already humane enough.
Haven’t you seen that all the pure humans born in the Empire were exiled to the Federation?
At least the Federation was willing to recognize them as federal citizens and give them a place to stay.
However, it is impossible for humans to be truly rational.
At most, it is just restraint of reason.
Therefore, with some kind of expectation, there are still many people who are quietly following Medicine God.
I've even started thinking about the possibility of crowdfunding to hire someone to smuggle the medicine. If there really weren't no loopholes on the Empire's side, maybe someone would actually take the risk.
Liang Wei is one of those people who has this idea.
She didn't do it for the money, she did it for her mother.
Her mother was a pure human female who married her C-class male orc father and gave birth to her, a D-class female.
The probability of this happening is very small. Even when she was pregnant, her father considered letting her mother have a miscarriage.
Because it was already very difficult for him to support his mother alive, he really couldn't support having another cub.
But the mother was unwilling and begged to keep the child. She said she would die after giving birth to the child and leave the chance to live to the child.
Out of emotion, Liang Wei's father agreed.
In fact, there is also an element of gambling, betting that the child is a half-orc.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a female orc!
Although it is D-level.
In order to ensure her mother's stable life, Liang Wei's father arranged a marriage for her.
That family was the union of a female half-orc and a low-level male, and they had only one son, a C-level male cub.
It is really uncertain whether such a male will be able to find a partner when he grows up.
So when Liang Wei's father said that as long as they gave him 5,000 star coins every month, he would let Liang Wei marry their son when she came of age, they agreed.
It was with the help of his future in-laws and government subsidies that Liang Wei's father was able to support Liang Wei's mother for so many years.
But now his riot level is so high that he can no longer work.
The same situation occurred at her future partner's home.
If this continues, her mother will die, and she has just reached adulthood and does not want to lose her mother.
So she had the idea of replicating Cheng Yong's approach.
Her level is not high, but she is a female orc after all. If she smuggles to some remote planets of the empire... and then uses her female identity, will she be able to buy cheap medicine?
Everyone in the Federation knows that the price of the Empire's own basic potions has always been low.
But the price of medicine sold to the Federation increased tenfold.
The same is true for source materials, so the price of federal medicines has not been reduced.
But Liang Wei also felt that instead of going to the Empire to cheat, it would be better to go to the Ten Thousand Races...
The elves of the Ten Thousand Races also have potions.
But the elves also don’t deal with outsiders, so they need connections.
Sure enough, there is a reason why the protagonist of the movie can become the protagonist.
No wonder the patients' families are unable to go to India to buy medicine themselves, because they simply have no channels to bring the goods back.
Liang Wei was simply desperate.
Before this movie, she could only helplessly wait for everything to happen every day.
But this movie told her that as long as she didn't risk her life, there might be other ways to go.
She knew it was wrong, but her mind could no longer control her.
***
Jiang Qin has returned to work today and leaves work at eight o'clock.
When she got off work, the bar was empty.
Looking at the empty bar, Zhu Yongkang was dumbfounded. "What's going on? Normally, there are at least tens of thousands of customers left. Why are they all gone today?"
It’s not like all of them have left. I guess there are still about fifty people left.
But... does that make sense?
So everyone's star coins are so worthless now, right? You pay for the ticket, come in, stay for an hour and then leave.
The bartender could guess a little, and he reminded: "Maybe everyone rushed home to watch The Legend of the Condor Heroes?"
"watch TV??"
I know my manager is busy and has no time to read entertainment news.
He quickly explained, "It's Miss Jiang Qin's new drama, broadcast every night at nine o'clock on Federal Channel 3."
"This...can't we watch it here?"
When will optical computers be able to watch TV?
The waiter said, "Maybe it's too noisy and they can't concentrate on watching it."
Zhu Yongkang: ...
It's so scary that everyone has become a fan of the drama without telling him.
"Okay." Zhu Yongkang was helpless.
The waiter's eyes turned and he suggested, "Manager, I actually have an idea. Why don't we get a big screen in the bar to play TV series?
You see, it doesn't look good to have the bar empty like this. It would be better to use TV dramas to keep people there.
After all, it’s so cool to watch TV shows on the big screen, with so many people to watch and discuss together.
If you've talked enough and are thirsty, why not buy our suppressant and drink it as a drink?"
Actually, it’s mainly because he wants to watch it, but he has to go to work…
