Chapter 111: Love Welfare Institute (1/2)
Bai Liu and Liu Huai were belatedly carried down by the nurses.
It was destined to be a chaotic night. Mu Ke ran frantically behind them. The children monsters in the hospital seemed to have been scared by the large explosion in the field and disappeared.
A short and unprofessional treatment ended. Bai Liu and Liu Huai were two patients who hadn’t suffered any injuries from the explosion. They had simply lost too much blood so they were quickly carried out of the operating room and returned to their original rooms.
In fact, the nurses wanted to send them to the ICU but it was already filled up with other patients. Bai Liu and Liu Huai’s injuries were relatively minor and they could only stay in their general wards.
For example, Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang were seriously injured and were now in the ICU on the second floor. They were still in a coma and wouldn’t wake up in a short time. Of course, Bai Liu also had the idea of going down to assassinate the two of them. Unfortunately, the ICU was currently full of nurses and he couldn’t enter at all.
In addition, they didn’t have any attack power right now.
Liu Huai’s arms were gone and Bai Liu’s physical strength and health were almost exhausted. Mu Ke was in a better state but he only had six points of health.
Yet even if Mu Ke could use a dagger and Miao Gaojiang lay there motionless, Mu Ke could cut for an hour without breaking Miao Gaojiang’s high defense.
In addition, if they woke up the two people then it could be them who died first. At present, staying put was their best choice because their goal had basically been achieved.
Both Bai Liu and Mu Ke’s rooms were blown up. They couldn’t return there and wards were extremely scarce due to Bai Liu’s explosion. They might end up living with other monster investors. After coordinating it, the three of them were arranged by a nurse into one ward—501 which was Liu Huai’s ward.
Liu Huai lay on the bed while Mu Ke and Bai Liu tore sheets of paper from the books to pad the ground, ready to make do for the night.
Rather than lying down after setting up his bed for the night, Bai Liu took a pen from the drawer and laid the torn paper on his lap, as if he was casually writing and drawing something.
Mu Ke curiously looked over. “Bai Liu, what are you writing?”
Bai Liu answered, “I’m sorting out the current leads, inside and outside of the game.”
“Oh! Talking about a clue, Bai Liu!” Mu Ke suddenly remembered something and reported seriously to Bai Liu. “I found something when looking through the medical records. The Life Recovery recipe said that children with ‘pure blood’ are the best choice. This should mean blood-related children are the best. Yet when looking at the case information, I found that most of the children that investors picked for their blood—”
“Have no direct blood relationship yet the treatment effect was relatively good, right?” Bai Liu wrote something on the paper without squinting. “Those like us who have children directly related by blood are a minority.”
“According to common sense and the actual situation, most investors can’t use children related to themselves. They also aren’t looking in welfare homes for children related to them by blood.”
Bai Liu casually drew a house that looked like a welfare home. Then he drew a few thin ‘investors’ in the welfare home. He wrote a sentence ‘probably no blood relationship’ between the investors and welfare home.
Bai Liu’s pen tapped thoughtfully on the paper. “So a blood relationship is just one meaning of ‘pure blood relationship’ in the life recovery recipe and it might only be aimed at the players whose systems gave NPC children related to us. Meanwhile, this blood purity obviously has another definition for other investors and entrepreneurs in reality.”
“In other words, children who meet this definition in the life recovery medicine aren’t just children related by blood but other children who meet the standard of blood purity. I thought so when reading the medical records.” Mu Ke nodded in agreement with Bai Liu’s statement. Then he was confused again. “I just don’t understand the specific criteria for investors to select the children to draw blood from.”
“I think perhaps blood purity means the blood type of the child should be consistent with the investor. However, the blood type of the child is different from the person who drew the blood, no matter whether it is ABO or RH.” Mu Ke explained and analyzed it very clearly according to his memories.
“I also did a rough memory analysis based on the blood test indexes of all the selected children. Regardless of biochemical indicators, hemoglobin content, background information and geography of the children, I can’t see the standard for investors to select children. In fact, I can’t quite understand the definition of blood purity.”
“Yes.” Mu Ke nodded quickly as he glanced at Bai Liu with a bit of surprise. “How did you know? I only found the pattern after reading a lot of case data.”
“In fact, I thought about this before but I thought it was just a direction that people with abnormal brains like me would come up with. It was so ridiculous. Then Liu Jiayi’s life experience confirmed my idea.” Bai Liu drew a little girl in the welfare home and used a pencil to blacken her eyes. His voice was strange as he continued, “For this pure blood, things like blood type, biochemical indicators and hemoglobin content have nothing to do with it.”
The moment Liu Huai heard Liu Jiayi’s name, he struggled to turn over and sit up. He looked at Bai Liu.
Bai Liu was looking down at the girl on the paper. “This blood purity refers to the children who have ethically maintained a pure blood.”
“They are children who were born from close relatives, so they are full of birth defects.”
[System notification: Congratulations to player Bai Liu’s main identity line for unlocking the hidden side information—the true meaning of blood purity.]
[System notification: Among all the children, there is a special child. Their blood is enough to save an investor player. There is no need for more blood or a corresponding blood relationship. TA is the universal antidote in the game of Love Welfare Institute. Guess who TA is?]
The moment Bai Liu said this, the ward was quiet for a few minutes.
A chill went down Mu Ke’s back. “…No way? These investors deliberately looked for children with congenital diseases?”
Bai Liu casually drew a box and a circle on the paper, connecting them in the middle with a straight line. Then he wrote Aa and another Aa on it. Mu Ke could see with one glance that this was a biological genetics map.
“Generally speaking, every seemingly normal person has a probability of carrying certain invisible abnormal genes. Inbreeding will increase the probability of these invisible genes, leading to congenital malformations. This probability is called the close marriage coefficient.” Bai Liu explained. “I have general medical knowledge but I read some relevant books in order to play games. It is said that reproduction between close relatives will increase the probability of chromosome aberration.”
Mu Ke wondered in a complicated mood what Bai Liu usually looked at when making games… no wonder why most of the games he made couldn’t pass the trial…
“The pure blood children that investors want aren’t directly equivalent to ‘deformed’ children. Inbreeding does increase the probability of malformations but it doesn’t mean that all those with congenital defects are born from close relatives. The conditions between the two are neither necessary nor sufficient.” Mu Ke fell deep into thought. He touched his chin and asked, “In addition, many of these children are nameless and have no background information when they come to the welfare home. How can these investors determine that they are of pure blood?”
“There is a screening mechanism.” Bai Liu slowly raised his eyes. “They choose to adopt children with specific diseases such as albinism or a condition like Liu Jiayi. Then they screen out the pure blood children from these children.”
Mu Ke was a bit confused. “However, the child’s parents and other relevant information aren’t known. How do they filter out the pure blood children? There is no screening method for close relatives…”
“There is a way.” Bai Liu answered lightly. “Haven’t you already seen this screening process?”
Mu Ke was startled. “I’ve seen it…”
He suddenly realized something and turned to look at the paper in Bai Liu’s hand. Bai Liu had just drawn a blood ganoderma lucidum-shaped mushroom.
Mu Ke opened his mouth with some disbelief. “The welfare home poisoning incident..”
