Chapter 191 Rong Shi
The fulfilling and leisurely summer vacation is coming to an end.
In the second half of the time, Yu Zhi almost always went back and forth between home and the Federal Research Institute.
Occasionally, she would ask one of Chen Wang, Qiao Zhiyu or Xie Wenyu to come over and spend a pleasant evening with her.
Who you call depends entirely on your mood that day and what type of experience you want.
Whenever these three people came over, the door of the house opposite would be closed tactfully.
Rongshi has officially opened for sale to the whole society, and even the Empire can buy it, but the supply quantity is only half of that supplied to the Federation.
In order to prevent the Rong Stone from being completely divided up by the major families and not flowing into the hands of those who really need it, the federal government has also spent a lot of effort.
First, a purchase limit of once per person per month is set to prevent wealthy people from deliberately stockpiling large quantities.
But for those who are truly powerful, it is not difficult to find loopholes. They just need to borrow other people's quotas to buy it for themselves.
Therefore, the top management of the institute also came up with a second solution by taking advantage of human nature.
That is to use instruments to dilute the energy in the container stone, turning it from "thick soup" into "black heart and water version", so that its effect is greatly weakened, which is probably similar to the moderate soothing of an A-level healer.
For wealthy families who generally have at least one A-level or above healer in their family, there is no need to snatch a large number of them.
In this way, more low-level extraordinary people who are unable to access healers can receive comfort.
You know, originally at least 80% of this population would have to be "exiled" to abandoned planets after entering middle age because of excessively high pollution levels.
And the total population of the entire Federation and the Empire combined is too large to be wasted in this way.
The price of a storage stone is only 1,000 star coins, and even ordinary working-class people can bite the bullet and buy one every month.
Of course, for the truly poor, this price is still out of their reach.
Jerry is just an ordinary blue-collar worker.
A little luckier than others, he is a native of the Central Star and his ancestors have lived here for generations.
Although his bloodline talent is only B-level, at least he doesn't have to worry too much about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Even his child successfully entered the Logistics Department of the Central Military Academy this year.
Everything seemed to be going well, but just the month before last, he suddenly started to have headaches, which caused him to make frequent mistakes at work.
And a bad guess emerged in my mind.
Jerry took a day off and went to the medical center for a single test, but when the test results came out, his heart sank.
Just as he guessed, the pollution level of his spiritual body has exceeded the normal value and has skyrocketed recently.
"Perhaps it's because it hasn't been comforted for too long, so the growth rate after breaking through the threshold will become extremely fast."
The doctor who examined him said so.
"It's best to find a healer for comfort as soon as possible."
But how easy is it to find a healer who can comfort him enough?
His partner, Ellie, is only a D-class healer with limited and non-regenerative energy, and she lost her soothing ability years ago.
Given his current condition, he needs to find a healer of at least B level or above to cure the disease.
Jerry held his head in pain.
The cost of finding a healer above level B to comfort him would be astronomical for their small family.
Now all the family's savings are prepared for the son's tuition expenses in the next few years -
The tuition at the Central Military Academy is extremely expensive.
They saved up so much money for a long time just so that their talented son could have a better future.
But if he is not treated, he may not even survive this year.
Without his decent income from his job, how difficult would life become for his wife and son?
Jerry came out of the medical center and looked numbly at the crowd on the street who were cheering and celebrating for the emergence of a god-level healer in the Federation.
What's the use?
He thought.
After all, it has nothing to do with people like him.
Jerry lived his life in a daze, and his son cried and asked him to use his savings to find a healer for comfort.
But he was reluctant to spend the money.
This dragged on until the institute issued an announcement and posted a link on the Starnet Federal Research Institute store.
Jerry: ...
Jerry: ?? !!
Jerry placed the order quickly.
It's only 1,000 star coins, which is cheap compared to the hundreds of thousands of dollars it would cost to hire a healer of level B or above.
And according to the introduction, it is the healing energy of Yu Zhi, a god-level healer!
The package was quickly delivered to Jerry, who carefully but eagerly opened the outer packaging.
Inside was a light blue "stone", which reminded him of the small river next to his hometown when he was a child.
Jerry held onto the stone, and the energy within it seemed to sense the pollution within him and rushed towards him.
He had never experienced such comfort.
It turns out that this is the feeling that a high-level healer can bring, almost enough to make him forget all his stress and worries.
His life may be saved.
There are many people like Jerry in the entire universe.
They are scattered on different planets and in different regions, but they all hold a small blue stone in their hands.
They saw hope on the same day.

Yu Zhi is enjoying her last vacation.
After finally finishing her work at the research institute, she only had three days left of her summer vacation.
What can I do?
Yu Zhi stayed at home and watched a romance movie.
She chose the number one film in StarCraft's history, and the film did not disappoint her.
It simply focuses on the extremely ups and downs and tug-of-war between the male and female protagonists, creating a romantic atmosphere that makes people want to have a drink.
As soon as Yu Zhi had this thought, she immediately felt itchy.
Now that her body has gradually adapted to the condition, does that mean she is no longer allergic to alcohol?
She was a big drinker in her previous life.
How about... just give it a try?
Yu Zhi thought so and did so.
She ordered a few popular and common alcoholic drinks from takeout, and they were delivered after waiting for about ten minutes.
She took a tentative sip, waited for a moment, and found that there seemed to be no reaction.
Then I took another sip and waited a little longer. Apart from a little blushing, there was still no sign of allergy.
That’s stable!
Yu Zhi was delighted. Perhaps due to the assimilation of her body and the evolution of her mental power, she was no longer allergic to alcohol.
So she put her mind at ease and tasted it bite by bite.
The taste of Star Wine was quite different from what she had tasted before. The taste was very rich and novel. Yu Zhi drank a little too much while watching a movie without noticing.
It seemed that my body had not yet adapted to the new alcohol. My head started to feel dizzy and my body felt a little hot.
"Hmm..." She shook her head, unlocked the computer, opened the chat interface with Shen Wang and started editing.
[Xiaowang, can you come over here? I feel like drinking...]
But before she could edit it and send it out, the doorbell rang at the entrance.
