Chapter 157
No wonder Qi Heng asked this.
If he didn't know how the Tianjia Zerg grew, or if he hadn't seen Chu Xiu in the past in the Lord's dream memories, he might not have thought of this.
When we first met, Chu Xiu, who should have been an adult, appeared in the appearance of a teenager, which in itself was unusual.
He did not investigate it further at the time, firstly because it was unnecessary, and secondly because he was negligent.
...When he found Chu Xiu on the escape ship, he asked the system to perform a full-body scan on Chu Xiu, but the system did not say anything wrong.
Qi Heng naturally agreed that Chu Xiu's condition was still okay.
Now that I think about it, even though the system is half-disabled, I am praising its state. What can it scan out?
'Shrinking' from adulthood back to adolescence is a situation that has almost never happened in the Tianjia Zerg - whether it is the memories received from the Overlord or the period of dominating the game as the Overlord.
It only took Qi Heng a moment to think about it. While sorting out his thoughts, he did not forget to ask A0 to give Chu Xiu in front of him a thorough scan and examination.
Unlike the previous primary scan, this one is the highest level scan that the current system can use.
【Authorization obtained successfully.】
[Consume 100 energy points to upgrade the subsystem's medical function to its current highest level.]
【Upgrade completed】
【Project inspection: Cell-level scanning micro-inspection.】
[This project takes ten minutes at a time and consumes 600 energy points.]
Notifications from the system popped up one after another, but Qi Heng, who usually calculated the use of energy points very carefully, remained unmoved by this.
Not to mention that with the existing system's energy reserves, a few hundred energy points are nothing at all. Even if there are not many energy points, they still need to be used when necessary.
From the beginning, Qi Heng's eyes have been on Chu Xiu.
In the field of vision that only he could see, the faint energy projected by the system merged into Chu Xiu from top to bottom.
After hearing A0 say that it would take ten minutes, Qi Heng was no longer in a hurry to listen to Chu Xiu. He thought that he would know what the problem was after the system scan results came out.
But Chu Xiu didn't think so.
He only knew that His Majesty was staring at him and staring at him, and that gaze, which seemed to refuse to give up until he got an answer, made him feel a little overwhelmed.
If possible, Chu Xiu didn't want to say it, because to be honest, he himself didn't quite understand what was going on with the changes in his body.
Of course, Chu Xiu couldn't be completely unaware of the problem with his body.
The reason why he didn't tell Qi Heng was very simple. First, apart from occasionally losing perception of the outside world, there was no other impact. Second... under the current conditions, telling him would only cause trouble for His Majesty.
Chu Xiu didn't want to add to the emperor's troubles, so after weighing the pros and cons, he simply pretended that this had never happened.
As for whether it will worsen and cause other problems in the future, that is a matter for the future.
From this we can see how important Qi Heng is in Chu Xiu's heart, completely surpassing himself.
Chu Xiu, who had no way of refusing His Majesty's question, hesitated and said, "It's not a serious problem. It just happens very occasionally."
Qi Heng was stunned by Chu Xiu’s words, and then he felt like he was about to laugh out loud.
Isn’t this a big deal?
So what is a big problem?
Just when Qi Heng couldn't help but ask a question, a cry interrupted his words.
...It was the cub crying.
The insect cubs that have not been fed for a long time, driven by their innate instincts, make whimpering sounds in an attempt to attract the attention of their parents and gain their attention.
Fortunately, he succeeded with this cub.
Almost at the same time, Chu Xiu and he both looked at the crying insect cub.
Qi Heng listened to the crying and thought that the test results were not out yet and Chu Xiu was not cooperating. In this case, he might as well feed the remaining insect cubs first.
That's what he thought and said.
"Forget it, let's finish feeding first." If you listen carefully, you can find a hint of helplessness in his tone.
Chu Xiu said "hmm", but he felt relieved in his heart. His Majesty looked a little scary.
…
The two of them fed together and quickly finished feeding the cubs.
Well-fed cubs are always the most well-behaved, and they fell asleep again in almost no time.
When leaving, Chu Xiu walked in front carrying the bucket, while Qi Heng lagged behind a little.
Chu Xiu, who was walking in front, had been holding his breath since leaving the nursery. He was a little worried that His Majesty would continue the previous topic.
However, His Majesty, who was walking behind him, remained silent, as if what had just happened had never happened.
Is this possible?
If Qi Heng knew what Chu Xiu was thinking, he would probably reply expressionlessly - you're thinking too much.
He didn't ask simply because he was reviewing the inspection report provided by A0 and had no time to be distracted.
...Qi Heng felt his head hurt even more after reading the large amount of professional terms and special nouns in the examination report. Forget it, he decided to just look at the results.
[Degeneration…decreased cell activity, clogged acupoints…suspected to be caused by the atrophy of the life energy source…]
Unlike lengthy reports, the inspection results are only two lines long.
As far as descriptions are concerned, not only do none of these nouns look good, but each one also looks like an incurable disease.
That would be fine, but there's more to come...
Qi Heng's eyes fell on the last line of black-marked words, 'The loss of perception of the outside world may be related to the spiritual body. The current system level is too low to check the heart core and spiritual body related aspects', and his heart sank.
Just by looking at it this way, you can tell that Chu Xiu’s situation is not that simple.
The system level is too low to be detected, and it is also related to the heart core and spiritual body.
[Your Excellency, the Lord.]
A0's voice interrupted his thoughts and called him back.
[Um, what's wrong?]
The General Chancellor's health is very poor, and based on the current examination results, it is still deteriorating.
After hearing this, Qi Heng was speechless.
This sentence was simply nonsense. With such a result, anyone could see that there was something seriously wrong with Chu Xiu's body.
He took two steps forward and walked side by side with Chu Xiu, turning his head slightly and glancing at Chu Xiu's face from the corner of his eye.
It’s not my fault that I didn’t notice this when I met Chu Xiu before. Just looking at his appearance, I couldn’t tell that it was as serious as A0 said. At most, his skin looked a little too white.
Because Chu Xiu's skin color was originally white and he had been underground for a long time without seeing the sun, no one thought that Chu Xiu was unwell.
Qi Heng said directly: [Treatment method.]
[If cell activity is reduced, soak it in cell activity solution. If acupoints are blocked, use Starlight Potion and mental strength to clear them.]
[Also, there are treatment plans for degeneration and atrophy of the life energy source.]
I'm sorry, Your Excellency.
A0 was unable to detect any treatment options for adult female degeneration in the database.
[It is currently unclear whether the Archon's life force energy source has atrophied... Also, just like degeneration, there are no treatment options for life force energy atrophy in the database.]
Compared to the Cell Active Liquid and Starlight Potion, which at least provide a direction but have no treatment options, the latter two diseases that have no treatment options are really tricky.
The systematic search is based on the civilization database of the past Tianjia civilization. Obviously, these two diseases are incurable in the sixth-level peak civilization.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Qi Heng's mind.
He said: [A0, if I consume energy points to allow the system to heal, can I do that?]
