Chapter 354 Awakening Supernatural Abilities, Extraordinary Talent
Aside from the basic benefits, a large part of Ryan's desire to join the Southridge Base was related to his little niece, and he was also worried about whether she could make it through.
Previously, children as young as her who were infected either became zombies directly or died after failing to awaken their powers. Very few children fully awakened their abilities and became superhumans.
"Okay, I'll go ask. Don't worry, even if the healing ability user doesn't help, I can still use it to do missions, exchange for some universal currency, and then exchange it for some medicine for Nina."
He had just seen in the base's shop that medicine could be exchanged for universal currency, and the supplies at the Nanling base were more complete than they had imagined.
These are things that only people inside the base can see. When he was still a member of the Xiyue base, although Chen Mingzhang would take him around the base, most of the secrets were kept hidden from him.
With a nervous heart, Raine asked Chen Mingzhang, "Captain Chen, my niece is sick. I heard that there is a healing ability user in our base. I wonder what we can do to get them to help?"
He wasn't afraid of needing a high price for crystal cores. After all, he had some reserves from the apocalypse. If all else failed, he could borrow some temporarily to heal the patient first, and deal with the rest later.
"Take your child to the base's medical team first and let the doctor there take a look. If the doctor can't solve the problem, they will directly notify the healing ability user. However, the cost is a bit high, so be prepared."
Upon hearing Chen Mingzhang's words, Raine initially breathed a sigh of relief, as it meant they were willing to treat Nina. However, Raine quickly became worried again, as even Chen Mingzhang mentioned the exorbitant medical costs...
He was a little nervous. He had been saving for so long, but he only had a little over two hundred first-level crystal cores, a few dozen second-level crystal cores, and less than three third-level crystal cores. His sister probably had some crystal cores left.
But even if others had crystal cores, they probably didn't have many. Rein gritted his teeth and made a decision, even if it meant going bankrupt.
"Go ahead and tell me, so I can prepare myself mentally."
Chen Mingzhang spoke in a businesslike manner, "If your niece goes to the doctor and it is determined that a healing-type ability user needs to intervene, firstly, hospitalization will be arranged, with a daily cost of seventy universal coins. Then, if a healing-type ability user intervenes, they will need to pay 200-10000 universal coins as surgery fees."
“Originally, if you had joined the base a month ago and completed all your daily tasks, the base would have reimbursed 90% of your surgery costs. However, since you just arrived, this expense cannot be reimbursed.”
Upon hearing this, Renn was stunned for a long time, and two words slowly arose in his heart: That's it?!
Raine asked uncertainly, "If I remember correctly, the base guide says that one level-one crystal core can be exchanged for one hundred universal coins, right?"
"Yes, a level 1 crystal core can be exchanged for 100 universal coins, a level 2 crystal core can be exchanged for 1,000 universal coins, and a level 3 crystal core..." Chen Mingzhang thoughtfully repeated the contents of the guide.
Raine's mind was already buzzing. In other words, even if the Nina disease wasn't reimbursed, the maximum cost would most likely only require ten second-tier crystal cores.
He had prepared for the worst, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and he seemed to have become rich overnight, because the purchasing power of the crystal cores in the Nanling base was enough for his family to live very well.
"Thank you, thank you. I'll go exchange for Universal Coins right now and then go to the medical team." Renn was so happy that he was almost out of control.
It should be noted that in Xiyue, due to the scarcity of supplies, a single dose of fever reducer requires twenty Tier 1 crystal cores.
Now, it's highly likely that Nina can be cured, and all it will cost is a few fever-reducing pills. How could Raine not be excited? When he ran back home in his excitement, his family was on tenterhooks.
"Raine, what did Captain Chen say? Is Nina's illness...?" Raine's older brother is ten years older than Raine and was an outstanding chemist before the apocalypse.
Under his leadership, the entire family lived a very good life. He had a good talent in the pharmaceutical industry, but he was helpless when faced with his daughter's illness. Lei Jie felt sorry for his daughter and was also somewhat frustrated.
Ryan's family looked at him with a last glimmer of hope, but dared not have too much expectation; they were almost prepared for the worst.
However, they soon heard Ryan laugh and say, "Don't worry, everyone in the base has the potential to receive treatment from a healing-type ability user. But in order to screen out patients who truly need her intervention, we need to go to the base's medical team first and have the doctors examine them."
Hearing his words, the Ren family did not show much joy. Ren's sister even took out the crystal cores she had prepared beforehand, "Second brother, take these crystal cores. As long as they can cure Nina, we will try them."
She took out all her savings. Although her ability level was not high, she was smart and hardworking, so she had accumulated a good amount of income. So far, she had more than thirty first-level crystal cores and one second-level crystal core.
Unexpectedly, when she took out these crystal cores, Rein smiled and pushed them back to her. "Bona, keep them safe. The treatment cost at the South Ridge Base is not high. It will only cost about ten Tier 2 crystal cores in total. We need to exchange these Tier 2 crystal cores for universal currency later."
Although they were happy to hear this, not only Bona, but even Raine's parents and brother couldn't believe it.
Reige looked at his younger brother, who had been supporting the family since the apocalypse, and said, "Reige, if the cost is too high, don't hide it from us and then take on some dangerous missions. Nina is an important member of my family, but I also don't want anything to happen to you because of her."
Hearing these words, Ryan felt a pang of tenderness in his heart, but also a bit amused and exasperated. "I'm not lying to you. You'll see when the medics arrive. I'm going to exchange some universal currency now."
To save time, the whole family went with Ryan to the finance office managed by Zheng Mu. When Zheng Mu saw that the other party took out twenty second-tier crystal cores to exchange, he didn't think much of it and exchanged them for him according to his needs.
Because he was worried that he wouldn't have enough, Ryan planned to exchange for more, and since the universal currency could be used at any time.
These universal coins appeared directly in digital form within Raine's ability ring. Zheng Mu reminded him, "Relatives can transfer universal coins to each other, as long as the ability rings are aligned and both parties agree. When making payments, the ability rings are also aligned directly with the corresponding machines."
"Remember to enter your fingerprint or the corresponding payment password. In fact, it is not much different from the payment method before the apocalypse, except that it uses superpowers as power, making it more secure."
