277: Chapter 277 Liu Xiaoming, one in a billion with pure Yanhuang blood, the chosen one of China in this era!

In front of Building No. 2.

"So it's the nation's latest research achievement, a secret recipe for traditional chinese medicine that can greatly improve the physical fitness of the Huaxia people..."

"It is currently still in the confidential stage; only critically ill patients whose lives are in danger can be approved for its use..."

"This is... this is just too incredible!"

After Lin Mo's basic introduction, Liu Xiaoming finally understood the reason.

Recalling what Lin Mo had just said about the expensive medicinal ingredients, Liu Xiaoming stammered.

"Brother Xiao Mo, this medicine..."

Lin Mo asked, "Is there a problem?"

"This medicine... about how much does it cost?" Liu Xiaoming asked after swallowing hard.

"Hmm... if we only count the cost, it's about 40,000!"

System prestige points... Lin Mo added silently in his heart.

"Including other medical expenses, one critically ill patient costs about 120,000 to 150,000 Huaxia currency."

Liu Xiaoming was instantly terrified.

"That much??"

Hearing this astronomical figure, Liu Xiaoming suddenly felt panicked.

If his and his grandfather's medical expenses were added together, wouldn't it be nearly 300,000?

His own monthly salary was only 3,000, and his parents' salaries weren't much higher; where could they possibly scrape together so much money?

Even if they sold their house, it wouldn't be enough to cover these sky-high medical expenses!

"Brother Xiao Mo!"

"Can this treatment cost be reimbursed by medical insurance? What is the ratio?" Liu Xiaoming's voice trembled.

"Wait, no...!"

"This medicine is still confidential, how could it be covered by medical insurance... It's over, it's all over!"

"Sigh... as long as we are alive, it's fine. If the house is gone, it's gone..."

Watching Liu Xiaoming's panicked state, Lin Mo laughed.

"What are you panicking about?"

"All treatment costs during the great epidemic will be fully covered by the state."

Liu Xiaoming couldn't believe it: "Really?"

"Of course, would I lie to you? Uh..." Remembering how much he had tricked him when they were younger, Lin Mo added, "I haven't lied to you since we grew up, right?"

"No... no!" Liu Xiaoming was overjoyed.

"That's fantastic!"

Learning that he wouldn't have to spend a fortune made Liu Xiaoming extremely happy. From the moment he got on the elevator until he reached the door of Grandpa Liu's room, he kept thanking the state for its good policies.

Seeing this, Lin Mo felt a slight sigh in his heart.

One illness can impoverish three generations.

No matter how happy a family is, a single sudden, major illness can instantly plunge them into a prison of broken homes, lost wealth, and death!

In front of Grandpa Liu's room, Lin Mo reached out and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

"Grandpa Liu, it's me."

Grandpa Liu opened the door.

"Oh my, Xiao Mo, look at you, don't come to visit me when you're so busy!"

"Xiao... Xiaoming?"

"Why are you here???"

Looking at his grandfather, who had almost been separated by life and death... or rather, almost separated in the yin and yang realms, Liu Xiaoming instantly burst into tears.

... Half an hour later.

"...Xiaoming, after you finish registering, there is a three-month confidentiality agreement to sign," Lin Mo instructed.

"Before July, no one in the treatment center is allowed to go out."

"This is mandatory; there are no exceptions. You need to be mentally prepared."

Liu Xiaoming immediately replied.

"Don't worry, Brother Mo, my life was given to me by the state."

"You just said that recovered patients can apply to become volunteers at the treatment center. I wonder if I meet the requirements?"

Lin Mo nodded at first, but after a while, he shook his head.

"You are indeed qualified."

"However, I have another special job for you and Grandpa Liu."

Grandpa Liu and Liu Xiaoming looked at each other: "A special job?"

Lin Mo explained.

"After the outbreak of the Mad Laughter Epidemic, our Huaxia research team urgently carried out special research on the Spike Virus, and we have recently made substantial progress."

"Research has found that the RNA single strand of the Spike Virus has a high expression match with our Huaxia gene bank, and the biological correlation is extremely strong!"

"Ah?" As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.

Liu Xiaoming blurted out: "This is a virus specifically targeting us Huaxia people!"

Lin Mo nodded solemnly and continued in a deep voice.

"I won't go into the details with you, but the reason I'm telling you this is because both of you are extremely rare super-infected individuals. At the genetic level, your compatibility with the Spike Virus is extremely high, and your viral load far exceeds that of normal Huaxia people!"

"Especially you, Xiaoming. When you were in a critical coma, your peak viral load even reached 122 times that of a normal Huaxia person!"

"Holy crap, that high?!" Hearing this terrifying figure, Liu Xiaoming and Grandpa Liu were both shocked.

"Given the characteristic of the Spike Virus to specifically attack Huaxia genes, you two, grandfather and grandson, can be considered the most authentic Huaxia Yanhuang bloodline!"

Speaking of this, Lin Mo looked at Liu Xiaoming and teased with a smile.

"Xiaoming, didn't you think you had transmigrated to become the protagonist?"

"With this one-in-a-billion pure Yanhuang bloodline, you are indeed worthy of being called our Huaxia's contemporary child of destiny."

Liu Xiaoming made a bitter face.

"What's the point? I'm still on a monthly salary of 3,000..."

Lin Mo laughed and said.

"Not anymore!"

"I plan to arrange for you two, grandfather and grandson, to participate in the scientific research work of the Yanhuang Project, with excellent salary and benefits!"

"Scientific research?" Liu Xiaoming pointed at himself, bewildered: "The two of us?"

He was a graduate from a non-prestigious university, and his grandfather was a retired teacher; were they going to participate in a national-level scientific research project?

"Xiao Mo!" Grandpa Liu, who was on the side, frowned.

"I watched you grow up. If you still recognize me as your Grandpa Liu, you must listen to me today!"

"You saved us, grandfather and grandson; you are already our family's greatest benefactor!"

"A person must be content!"

"I know you want to take care of us, but we won't do things like using backdoors!"

"I also want to remind you, Xiao Mo, don't ever do this kind of thing again. You are a big leader now, and the Huaxia people are all watching. Some precedents must never be set!"

Grandpa Liu spoke righteously and sternly, ending up lecturing Lin Mo, which left him feeling helpless.

"What are you talking about? Grandpa Liu, you've misunderstood!"

"Then what do you mean, Xiao Mo?"

Lin Mo said helplessly: "I mean, your genes have high research value. Letting you participate in the research project is for you to cooperate with the research; usually, it's just drawing some blood!"

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Grandpa Liu suddenly realized.

"So that's it... Sigh! Look at the misunderstanding I had..."

Liu Xiaoming also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Isn't this just being a blood donation volunteer? What's the big deal?"

"Brother Mo, this kind of small matter that benefits the country and the people, I must do it without hesitation! Forget about the salary and benefits; I'd do it even without pay!"

Grandpa Liu nodded repeatedly.

"It's just donating some blood; this is something we should do. How could we possibly take a salary?"

"If I took such conscience-less money, where would I put my old face?"

Lin Mo asked in surprise: "Are you sure?"

"If I say I won't take it, I won't take it. I, Old Liu, keep my word..."

"500,000 a month, you really don't want it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Xiaoming was so shocked his jaw almost dislocated.

"How much???"

After a moment of awkward silence, Grandpa Liu said with an awkward smile.

"Xiao Mo, haha, you see, just now... sometimes people, haha..."

Lin Mo waved his hand and interrupted with a smile.

"Alright, you two just follow my arrangements!"

The grandfather and grandson nodded repeatedly. A real man knows when to yield and when to stand tall; sometimes, one just has to look forward.
