The scholars of the Shengzhi school looked at the written prescription and couldn't help but feel a little proud. "I'm really a genius."
However, when he looked up at the young patient's family, he couldn't help but frown, "It seems this isn't quite the perfect piece..."
The scholar stared at his prescription, making deletions and additions, replacing some expensive auxiliary drugs with others.
"The cost of the Mourning Flower is too high. We can grind and heat the Crimson Heart Fruit and Moon Lotus together to achieve a similar medicinal effect, saving a lot of money..."
"It seems that cheaper medicinal materials can be used to replace sand pupae."
"..."
This scholar of the prophylactic school understood that every bit he reduced the cost of the prescription brought the young patient one step closer to survival.
But...
Even if scholars use all their skills, there are still limits to what they can do.
Leaving aside the expensive auxiliary medicines, the main medicine that Amirido Academy recently cultivated alone costs more than 30 million Mora, and even that might not be enough to buy it.
Among the auxiliary medicines, there are several medicinal herbs that are almost extinct, and only a few private collectors still have them in stock.
These are the most crucial medicinal materials; they cannot be reduced.
The scholar of the life-theory school sighed and handed the prescription to the young patient's family.
"Doctor, my child... is there any hope?"
The child's mother asked with joy, "We have consulted countless famous doctors throughout the year, but all we have received was the same 'I'm sorry, I can't help you.'"
Scholars who advocate for biological research are at a loss for words to answer this exceptionally cruel situation: the child has a chance of being cured thanks to an academic breakthrough, yet may very well be unable to receive help due to financial constraints.
The girl's father saw that the scholar remained silent for a long time, and his heart sank. He took the prescription from the scholar's hand and began to examine it.
"Gudu!"
He worked at the dock and had seen the names of these medicinal herbs on tax forms. His only impression of them was their extremely exaggerated numbers.
"Doctor, how many Mora are needed for the ingredients on this prescription?"
The scholars of the biophysics school were silent for a moment before speaking.
"At least 70 million Mora."
The young patient's mother was stunned; her joy at the prospect of her daughter being saved was instantly shattered by the astronomical sum.
"this..."
The girl lying in the hospital bed was already sensible; she knew that her family couldn't afford such a large sum of money.
"Doctor, do you think... the treatment cost could be lowered a little? This amount of money is too expensive for us."
The scholars of the bio-theory shook their heads. "I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do."
"I have done my best with this prescription."
The child's parents stood silently, motionless, their thoughts unreadable.
At that moment, the girl gently tugged at her mother's hand.
"It's okay, Mom."
...
The scholars of the Life Theory left the family and came to Chao Ke's side.
"Hello, what is the patient's condition?"
"Distracted consciousness and numb thinking."
The scholars of the biophysical school were taken aback and turned their gaze to Farusian, who was lying on the hospital bed.
As if it had already been registered, the "Void Terminal" quickly displayed Farusan's information.
The scholars of the biotheory gaped slightly, utterly shocked by the information presented by Farusan.
"No wonder he's gotten so mentally unstable."
The scholar of the Shengzhu school got up, pondered for a moment, wrote down a prescription, and took out several sticks of incense from inside the house.
"You must be Mr. Chao Ke? Senior Farusan's condition has improved. This is a calming incense produced by our Amirido Academy. Please let Senior Farusan smell it more, and after taking a few more doses of medicine, she should be able to recover."
Chao Ke was stunned. "You know me?"
"Hmm, your lover, Senior Farusan, that guy Beham, has already uploaded your information to the 'Void Terminal.'"
Chao Ke's lips twitched, and he looked at Farusan lying on the hospital bed with an apologetic gaze.
Once she wakes up, she'll probably be in for a lot of trouble.
The physicians of the Shenglun School could get their medicines at their clinics, and the prescriptions given to Falushan used common medicinal herbs. Chao Ke simply had the physician get a few more prescriptions and settled the bill along with the diagnosis fee.
The scholars from the Shenglun school went into the inner room to get the medicine with the prescription, while Chao Ke turned his gaze to the girl's family over there.
He frowned slightly, and a thought of helping her flashed through his mind.
He couldn't help but laugh. How could someone like himself, a member of the Fools, have such a thought? It was truly inappropriate.
But...shouldn't we really do nothing...?
Perhaps this little girl was destined to live, or perhaps an unknown deity wanted to grant Chao Ke's rare act of kindness.
The appearance of another little girl gave Chao Ke a reason to help her.
...
A pink-haired little girl, panting heavily, ran into the clinic, her eyes quickly scanning the room before she spotted the sick girl.
The patient's mother recognized the pink-haired little girl as her daughter's playmate.
Suppressing her grief, the mother smiled and patted the head of the pink-haired little girl.
"Dolly, have you come to visit your sister?"
[Let's see what the author says]
Chapter 55 Dolly
"Dolly?"
Chao Ke was stunned, unable to connect the pink-haired little girl in front of him with the Sangge Mahabay Lord in the later plot.
After greeting the adults, Dolly nestled next to her sister.
"Sister, how are you feeling? I ran all the way from Vimo Village to pick some flowers for you. I hope seeing these flowers will help you get better soon."
As she spoke, Dolly handed a few freshly picked flowers to her sister.
The girl smelled the fragrance of the flowers and smiled brightly.
"I'm fine, I'll be alright after a rest."

"really?"
Seeing her sister's smile, the innocent Dolly also showed an expectant look in her eyes, and even began to fantasize about the next time they would travel together.
However, a "bad guy" stepped out from the crowd and shattered this heartwarming scene.
"Your sister's health isn't something that can be improved with a little rest; she's already reached the point of being terminally ill."
Chao Ke approached Dolly step by step, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said in a playful tone.
"How...how could that be? Why are you talking nonsense about my sister's health!"
Dolly didn't believe Chao Ke's explanation. Instead, she put her hands on her hips and angrily confronted Chao Ke.
The girl's parents also looked at Chao Ke with a hint of hostility.
Chao Ke didn't care about their gazes. Instead, he snatched the prescription that the biotheorist had given to the girl from the girl's father's hand and handed it to Dolly.
"This is the only prescription that can save your sister's life."
"But unfortunately, it's very expensive, beyond what your sister's family can afford, so..."
"enough!"
The girl's father shouted, interrupting Chao Ke's story.
With bloodshot eyes, he said, "Sir, if you've come here to mock me, you've achieved your goal. Please stop hurting the children with this."
"Oh?"
Chao Ke smiled, ignored him, and squatted down to be at eye level with Dolly, handing her the prescription.
"The herbs on this prescription will cost over 70 million Mora. With that money, your sister can live; without it, she can only..."
Dolly stared blankly at the prescription, glancing at the adult's expression beside her as if seeking confirmation.
The older sister's mother covered her face and wept; the older sister's father clenched his fists, hating his own powerlessness; even the older sister pursed her lips tightly, and in the helplessness in her eyes, there was also a trace of longing for life.
"How...how could this be..."
This prescription made Dolly realize the weight of money for the first time.
The people she cherishes will leave her because she doesn't have enough Mora.
Seeing that the time was right, Chao Ke spoke seriously to Dolly.
Do you want your sister to live?
Dolly was taken aback. "You mean?"
Chao Ke pulled out a check with the Northern Bank's gold foil stamp from his pocket, waved it in front of Dolly, and said.
"I can lend you this money, but you must pay it back within ten years, and you also have to meet three conditions of mine as interest, how about it?"
"I am willing."
Dolly agreed without much hesitation, whether because she was young and unaware of the value of the Mora, or because in her heart, her feelings for her sister far outweighed the Mora.
"Okay, deal!"
Chao Ke smiled and took out his pen, preparing to sign the check, when the girl's father interrupted him.
"Wait a minute, sir!"
