Although the health assistant didn't say anything extra, Li Lechen felt a little uneasy. However, given that he would soon be facing a so-called major physical examination, and that a health score below 70 might result in his being humanely destroyed, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Since I am a natural person and don't need to register any genetic code, then take me on a tour of your hospital."
"Please pay the registration fee of 20 million Sunshine Coins first."
Because of the health assistant's nonchalant voice, Li Lechen almost doubted his ears. Especially since they had agreed to take a look first, the sudden mention of money caught him off guard, so he asked, "How much?!"
"Twenty million Sunshine Coins," the health assistant said calmly.
"Why do I have to pay 20 million Sunshine Coins when I haven't done anything? Does creating a profile cost that much?"
"Because you are a natural person."
"Aren't individuals entitled to better treatment? Why pay so much?"
"Because you haven't registered at our hospital yet, the 20 million is for registration fees. The subsequent treatment costs will be priced according to your needs."
"......"
Li Lechen strongly suspected that the health assistant knew how much money was in his account and was only interested in emptying his pockets.
Although it was 20 million, and only for the initial setup, it was a price that Li Lechen could hardly accept. However, considering that he already had a lot of money in his account, and that the money was not very useful except for upgrading and shopping, he agreed after confirming that he could also gain experience points from hospital spending.
"Then we will take a drop of blood from the tip of your right index finger for the purpose of creating a medical record. The pain level is very low, please understand."
"Um?"
Before Li Lechen could understand, he felt a chill on his finger. Looking down, he saw that there was only a barely visible wound left on the tip of his index finger.
That's incredible! He can still poke a hole in his own index finger after two thousand years?
While sighing, Li Lechen genuinely didn't doubt whether he would survive if the so-called humanitarian annihilation were applied to him.
Looking up at the two people sitting on the stage, one was a portly deputy director of the Health Bureau, whose name was Hu Shuo, which at first glance could be pronounced as Hu Shuo.
He kept rambling on and on, but no one was really listening.
However, everyone in the know understands that this lecture was merely a way for Jia Chenggong, who was absent from yesterday's fire drill and was rumored to have been arrested for accepting bribes, to make a public appearance.
I checked the time; the lecture had only been going on for a little over ten minutes, and there was still about half an hour to go.
Li Lechen then continued his research on the hospital.
After paying 20 million Sunshine Coins and having blood drawn from his fingertip, the health assistant took Li Lechen on a tour of their hospital.
“Our hospital has a long-term and close cooperation with the gene company, and 50% of our medical resources come from the gene company.”
As the health assistant spoke, the space shifted, revealing a large, open space to Li Lechen. The space was very clean and tidy, predominantly white, with a long, streamlined counter in the center, upon which were many plates. Around the perimeter were tables and chairs.
This looks like a restaurant, Li Lechen thought.
“Yes, this is the feeding area for medical resources,” the health assistant explained calmly. “And the medical resources will start eating in two minutes.”
"???"
Li Lechen can understand what is being said, but he cannot comprehend its meaning at all.
Soon, a door opened, and a line of men and women in white jumpsuits entered, walked to the assembly line counter, and began to receive their food.
Li Lechen was even more puzzled as he looked at the group of men and women.
"That's not..."
Among that group of men and women, Li Lechen spotted a familiar face.
Li Lechen actually suffers from severe prosopagnosia and generally cannot remember people, but he has a deep impression of some people because they are unusual and because of previous contact.
"What you're seeing is Mr. Mo Longao's medical resources, right?" The health assistant, having clearly caught Li Lechen's brainwaves, promptly clarified the situation.
So "Long Ao Tian Tian Xiang Shang" is actually named Mo Long Ao! This is the first time Li Lechen has known this. He always thought this guy chose an ID just to tease Long Aotian, but it turns out his real name is Long Ao. This ID is so positive!
However, Li Lechen quickly recovered from the shock of Mo Longao's name and asked in a somewhat frightened manner, "Isn't that Mo Longao himself? What do you mean by his medical resources?"
The health assistant smiled and said, "That's a genetically engineered human created using Mr. Mo Longao's genes. For a natural person like Mr. Mo Longao who has permanent residency in the safe zone, his medical resources are specially treated to ensure that every organ is in optimal condition and ready for Mr. Mo Longao to replace at any time."
"!!!!"
Li Lechen was shocked.
If Li Lechen still doesn't understand the so-called medical resources and the people involved after hearing this, then he's wasted his breath.
So, it seems I just had blood drawn...
"Yes, we have just created a file for you, and we will soon cultivate your medical resources and provide for you. If you need an organ transplant someday, you can have the surgery at any time," the health assistant said with considerable pride.
Looking at what was in front of him, through the huge glass window, he saw those so-called "medical resources" queuing up in an orderly manner, getting their trays, and eating. Thinking about their identities and their purpose, Li Lechen couldn't help but feel nauseous.
However, this was only the first stop he had seen, so he had no intention of backing down. On the contrary, Li Lechen became even more curious about the hospital in the future.
"These medical resources are for organ transplants. But what if it's just a common illness? You can't just replace it all at once, can you?"
"From a biomedical perspective, replacing damaged organs or virus-infected areas is the most fundamental way to cure diseases. Our hospital has the most advanced non-invasive surgical methods, so you don't need to worry about the surgical process at all, and there are no safety risks."
"That's not what I meant. For example, if I just have a cold, should I get a different treatment?"
"If it's a viral cold, it's initially present in the respiratory tract, and we would recommend that you have your respiratory tract replaced directly. Later, it may spread to the lungs, in which case you may need to have your entire lung replaced. In addition, we will also replace all of your blood during the treatment process."
"......"
Just hearing this description makes the treatment process seem terrifying. It's just a cold; there's no need for such a complicated procedure as replacing all the blood in the body, right? Even now, this is very easy to treat.
"The methods you've come up with are only used by residents of the lowest levels of contaminated areas or quarantine zones. While the drugs kill the virus, they also kill normal human cells, thus shortening lifespan. Furthermore, the treatment process can cause side effects such as fatigue, drowsiness, and vomiting."
