Real world, Yelan City.
Pei Yun sat on the long bench outside the ward, his right hand clutching the medical diagnosis notice tightly.
The doctor’s words echoed repeatedly in his ears like a cold knife slowly slicing through his heart, his eyes already bloodshot.
At this moment, he bowed his head and picked up the medical notice in his hand.
Date of Admission: March 2, 2524.
Brief medical history:
The patient was admitted due to persistent low-grade fever, drastic weight loss, hematuria and edema, falling into a coma.
According to family descriptions, the patient’s condition suddenly deteriorated three days ago, continued low-grade fever, along with a significant weight loss of about 15 kilograms, general weakness, reduced appetite, followed by a coma. The patient’s family has a history of genetic diseases (damaged genes due to Mutated Bomb attacks during the Mechanical war, resulting in hereditary phenomena, low probability)
Examination Items:...
Confirmed as a genetic disease, the genes suddenly caused the body’s "kidney organs x2" to enter a continuous deteriorating state, which is irreversible.
Treatment plan: It is recommended to transfer to the Moon-Eclipse City on the Moon for gene repair treatment, or to undergo new organ adaptation and cultivation treatment in Eclipse City, replacing the new organs.
Genetic deterioration.
These four words, like a curse, completely disrupted Pei Yun’s peaceful life.
He knew that his family’s medical history included genetic diseases.
This condition dates back to the era of the Mechanical War when the incoming Mechanical Clan bombarded Yelan City with several Mutated Bombs, causing severe damage.
Nearly half of the humans in the city died because of genetic breakdowns, and the few who survived also contracted genetic deterioration diseases, which have a small chance of being hereditary.
His grandfather died because of genetic deterioration, and now his mother also showed similar symptoms.
He knew he had to make a decision quickly.
Standing up, he came to the front of the ward, glanced at his mother through the window, her body covered in tubes, face haggard, then resolutely turned and left.
Returning home, he went straight to the gaming pod placed in the study.
Lying inside the gaming pod, as the pod’s lid slowly closed, Pei Yun closed his eyes.
When he opened them again, he was at the Resurrection Point in Imperial Tomb Village.
Summoning the function panel, he opened the Star Vein Slot, looked at his configured Star Vein Combination. Though reluctant, he still did not hesitate to choose to Decompose.
In a short while, the only thing left in the Star Vein Slot was the number 1 position that could not be decomposed, the Eagle-Headed Demon Life Soul.
He purchased a stone-statue ghost Life Soul from the Life Soul Library, replaced the Eagle-Headed Demon, and continued decomposing.
Having done all this, he closed the Star Vein interface, summoned the leaderboard function, and requested a connection to a player on the leaderboard.
Shortly after, a connection success notification popped up in his mind.
Divine King: Dude, what’s up?
Dark Night Will Come: Collecting sacrificial power?
Divine King: Yes, as much as you have, name your price.
Dark Night Will Come: Each point of sacrificial power for 170 credit points, all my sacrificial power to you.
Divine King: OK, send your bank account number, I will transfer the credits to you once it’s deposited, my name is a guarantee of credibility, just transfer the sacrificial power directly to me.
Dark Night Will Come: Okay.
minutes later, Pei Yun, who had exited the game, sat on the sofa, clutching his mobile phone.
At this moment, a transfer notification popped up on his phone.
Upon seeing the seven-digit number, Pei Yun abruptly stood up and rushed towards the hospital.
After an hour and a half’s drive, Pei Yun arrived at the hospital.
Seeing the doctor responsible for his mother again, Pei Yun proposed the idea of going to Eclipse City on the Moon to treat his mother, hoping the doctor could provide a contact channel.
After listening to Pei Yun, the doctor, who was over fifty, fell silent briefly then nodded:
"Alright... I’ll try contacting them for you, but the surgery will be very expensive, you’ll need to exchange the money in advance, and the treatment process cannot be reimbursed."
"I know, I want to treat her." Pei Yun said firmly
The doctor nodded in understanding, then turned his chair and pressed the wake-up button on the table, a virtual screen popped up.
While the doctor operated, Pei Yun stood by, expressionless, waiting, but his thoughts were in turmoil.
Half an hour later, the doctor suddenly sighed, turned the chair back facing Pei Yun and said regretfully:
"I’m sorry, the nearest treatment appointment in Eclipse City is already full... They are no longer accepting the transfer of new patients for treatment."
Hearing this, Pei Yun didn’t speak, but his hand clutching the medical report gradually clenched.
The air seemed to solidify, his heart as if bearing a heavy mountain, even breathing becoming exceptionally difficult.
This answer completely severed his chances of treating his mother.
Even though he had sold all his resources in the game and obtained a large sum of cash.
But the rules of the Moon Eclipse Clan cannot be influenced by him personally, even if the Human Clan Federation intervenes, the Moon Eclipse Clan has to follow the regulations set by the Intelligent Brain, without exception.
"Give my kidney to my mom."
In the midst of swirling thoughts, Pei Yun said with bloodshot eyes.
"A kidney isn’t something you can just because you say so, it needs to go through a series of compatibility checks, although after the Mechanical War, healthy people are allowed to two kidneys at once... but... you’re still young."
Facing the doctor’s persuasion, Pei Yun had already made up his mind.
Growing up in a single-parent family, his mother held an incomparable significance.
She was the economic pillar of the family, taking on multiple part-time jobs to raise him, and also the emotional companion and supporter, providing him more care and company, to compensate for the emotional gap left by the absence of his father.
Now with his mother’s condition continuously worsening, if there’s no suitable organ replacement, he will entirely lose his mother.
