Chapter 139: Control
Wanke's change undoubtedly conquered Marko, in this world without Hulk, in this world where superheroes or villains like Spider-Man have not yet appeared, even Kurt will be conquered by Wanke's changes, thinking that this is a miracle in genetics, not to mention ordinary people like Marko.
In fact, when Wanke had just transformed, Marko's only reaction was that his hands and feet were weak, and then the poor man did not hesitate to stand in front of his daughter, so that he had the posture of dying in front of his daughter.
Of course, the United States is the most technologically advanced country in both this world and Cao Ziheng's world, and the people of this country are much more receptive to strange things than other countries.
Convinced of this, Marco immediately lost his fear, and an endless joy arose, a miracle of genetics, which was undoubtedly good news for him, and a graduate student at Imperial State University who could perform a miracle in genetics had obviously had a completely positive effect on curing his daughter who was suffering from a genetic disease.
"I've made some achievements in genetics@, it's just that I need someone to help me determine this achievement, and now I have two pre-selected targets, the first is my teacher, Professor Curt Connors, a famous American medical scientist, biologist, and geneticist, whose right arm was blown off because he was attacked by the ** army during field surgery, and I want to help him regrow his right arm.
And the second one is your daughter, and I've looked at cases in the United States in recent years. Your daughter's genetic disease is the most serious, to put it mildly. Your high medical bills are a complete waste, because I can guarantee that she won't live long. That was, of course, before meeting me. “
After Marko's attitude completely changed, Cao Ziheng's tone slowly became serious, and he began to talk about business, and Cao Ziheng did not hide his grasp of doing these things.
He didn't know much about the United States, but in the past few days, he knew that the people in this country were different from the Chinese, and it was meaningless to be polite here. If you pretend to say that you plan to save Penny out of pity for Penny, then what awaits you will be Marco's suspicious gaze.
In the hearts of Americans, everything is valuable, and what you do must have a purpose, and the so-called charity also has a purpose.
At this time, Cao Ziheng directly said that the treatment of Kurt and Penny were all in order to make his genetic achievements recognized by the society, but this is in line with American values. Marco also let go of the last shred of doubt.
Of course, if this were in China, I am afraid that some people would immediately associate it with human experiments, in fact. It's a human trial, but Marco clearly doesn't care. Because he clearly knows that his daughter will not last long. If there is no miracle, even if he can get more money. There is absolutely no way to save his daughter's life for long.
"I have investigated your daughter's case, and it should be a genetic deficiency, which is a congenital disease, and there is no way to deal with it in today's medical treatment, but you can rest assured that I have completely found a way to compensate for it in the area of genes.
My teacher's right arm can be compensated for by the lizard's regenerative genes, and your daughter's missing genes are much simpler, and I can even let Penny choose what she wants to do in the future, you know, when I fix the genes, I will add some animal genes that promote the human body, which can make people more flexible, smarter, more powerful, or more attractive.
You see, so, Penny can choose to be a dancer, a scientist, an athlete, or an actress, etc., I can help her do this, of course, you don't need to worry about Penny becoming the same as Wan Ke, in fact, Wan Ke was injected with the first generation of genes, so there is still a little problem, but now that my genetic medicine has been researched to five generations, basically there will be no more side effects. ”
Seeing the suspicion in Marko's eyes gradually dissipate, Cao Ziheng spoke again, this time selling his genetic repair potion like a real American showing off his achievements.
And that kind of ability to repair genes made Marko's eyes start to reddened slightly, you know, Wanke's example is beside him, Marco has no doubt that Cao Ziheng will be able to do this.
It's just that after being slightly excited, Marko's expression showed a hint of hesitation, and he looked at Cao Ziheng slightly timidly, "Excuse me, what price do you need for these genetic repairs." ”
Yes, money.
In the United States, there is no compulsory treatment or anything, many people know that the United States has complete benefits, there are public hospitals, and free treatment, but in fact, Marco understands that public hospitals can basically only buy drugs like aspirin.
If you are really sick, you can only go to a private hospital, which is expensive, but it can be cured.
And what Cao Ziheng said at this time is indeed extremely attractive, but Marco knows more that there is no free lunch in this world, although Cao Ziheng said before that the treatment of his daughter is to make the society recognize his genetic medicine, however, Marco believes that this is enough with Professor Cote, and there is no need for his daughter to do more.
In this way, it is obvious that Cao Ziheng wants to treat his daughter most likely for money, after all, Kurt is Cao Ziheng's teacher, even in a society like the United States, it is impossible for students to charge for treating teachers.
And this genetic medicine, listening to those effects, is obviously not a stall, and the price will definitely not be cheap.
Looking at Marko's appearance, a smile flashed in Cao Ziheng's eyes, what he wanted was not Marko's mentality, it was impossible to be free or something, otherwise Marco would still become a sandman.
"Rest assured, the charge won't exceed the amount you paid for Penny's medicine."
Cao Ziheng pretended to laugh easily, but secretly sneered in his heart, Penny's medical expenses before. But he did check it, and it was by no means a small amount. In fact, Marco was definitely not poor before Penny fell ill. In the United States, it is also considered a middle-income family, and the husband and wife are harmonious.
After Penny fell ill, in order to cure the illness, Marco sold the house and spent all his savings, and finally even his wife couldn't help but leave the sick child and her husband who had nothing to run away, which shows how much Marco spent on Penny's medical treatment.
At this time, as soon as he heard that Cao Ziheng had linked the price of genetic medicine with Penny's previous medical expenses, Marco's face suddenly turned ugly.
"First. Sir, I, I don't have that much money anymore. ”
Marco looked at Cao Ziheng with difficulty and said, the man's face was already ugly like a dead man, and there was deep sadness in his eyes, as well as endless pleading, he looked at Cao Ziheng, expecting the latter to be kind enough to help him.
It's just, unfortunate. When Marco said that he had no money, Cao Ziheng's face immediately changed, and it was as ugly as Marko's face from before.
"Damn, I want to help you too. But, unfortunately, our two students really don't have the money to continue dispensing genetic medicine. Otherwise, we probably wouldn't have taken this potion out so quickly by now, after all. The fifth generation is not the most perfect, if it can be studied to the eighth generation. I am confident that I can give any human being the power of a god. ”
Cao Ziheng sighed slightly, got up and beckoned to Wan Ke to leave, as if he didn't plan to talk to Marco again.
Marko's face changed drastically, seeing that Cao Ziheng and Wan Ke turned around and planned to leave without hesitation, the man quickly got up and ran to the front of Cao Ziheng and Wan Ke.
"Wait, wait, two gentlemen, I don't have any money right now, but I'll have money soon, you tell me how much money I need, I'll get it together soon, but please treat Penny first, please."
Marco pleaded, the man's face was full of pain, he grew up in the United States since he was a child, he never thought that there were really good people in the world, not to mention, Cao Ziheng and Wan Ke were still typical Chinese looks, in fact, subconsciously Marco had already thought that Cao Ziheng would never agree to him.
It's just that because of his love for his daughter, this man still can't help but beg bitterly.
"How much money do you have, I'll see if I can help you stabilize your daughter's condition first, to be honest, the raw materials of genetic medicine are too expensive, and my previous research results have been sold, so now I don't have ready-made medicine in my hand to help stabilize your daughter's condition."
Cao Ziheng stopped and looked at Marco sincerely, which made Marco slightly stunned, you know, he begged for a dead horse as a live horse doctor, at this time, the dead horse was really alive, which made Marco couldn't help but be stunned.
"I, I still have $10,000, please, no matter what, help Penny stabilize her condition first, at least, don't let Penny be haunted by pain all the time."
Marco took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and handed it to Cao Ziheng along with a handful of change.
This man's situation at this time is definitely not good, and I am afraid that this 10,000 US dollars is also used to pay Penny's medical bills during this time, of course, at this time, this man takes out this money, and he has the ability to see if Cao Ziheng can really suppress Penny's condition.
Marco is certainly a figure at the bottom of society, but he is definitely not a fool after being in the gray circle for so long, and the sense of vigilance in his heart is not much inferior to Cao Ziheng.
"Wan Ke, call Zhang Mei'er and Si Fendi, tell them about the matter here, and then ask them to come over."
Taking the coin from Marco's hand, Cao Ziheng immediately looked at Wan Ke and said.
That Si Fendi was the trigger for Cao Ziheng to formulate a plan to get to know Marco at the beginning, this time there are not many masters among the contractors sent by Dongfang Tianwu and Mingliang, but there are many strange abilities, Si Fendi is one of them, this guy has two abilities, ability and medical skills, and his ability is also biased towards the healing system.
Therefore, among all the contractors, this guy's medical skills are surprisingly good, but Dongfang Tianwu told Cao Ziheng that from the second layer of the world, the space will provide free space healing treatment, as well as the plot world rapid healing potion, so this Si Fendi's ability is a bit of a chicken rib.
If it weren't for the fact that the space had robbed the business of these treatments, just Si Fendi's earth-shattering medical skills would have become the object of competition among all forces, and where would it be Dongfang Tianwu and Mingliang's turn to ignore him.
And this time, this man, who was ignored by Dongfang Tianwu and Mingming, was lucky to draw Cao Ziheng's lot, and was able to follow Cao Ziheng into this plot.
In another place, Tang Ran sensed Peter's situation, and quickly informed the other contractors, including Zhang Mei'er and Zhao Min, and a group of people suddenly had no slightest suspicion about Cao Ziheng, who would have thought that there would be such a thing as an adventure in this infinitely modern world.
Above all, who would have thought that there would be a stream of waste materials in such a world.
Therefore, when she received a call from Cao Ziheng, Na Si Fendi followed Zhang Mei'er without hesitation as if she had heard the holy decree, and even paid no attention to Peter, who had just risen from waste.
Although, at this time, Tang Ran, Zhang Mei'er and Zhao Min had already analyzed with everyone that Peter was the protagonist of this plot world, Si Fendi didn't care at all.
Because at this time in Si Fendi's heart, no protagonist is as important as Cao Ziheng's words, at this moment, Cao Ziheng let him pass, then, he will pass, he believes that Cao Ziheng will not let him suffer.
It only took ten minutes for the two to arrive at the hospital, and on the way, Wan Ke talked about Penny's illness in detail.
On the way, Zhang Meier began to teach Si Fendi what to do when she saw Marko, this woman's calculation of human nature has reached the extreme, although Wan Ke didn't say anything on the phone, it seemed that she just talked about Penny's situation, but Zhang Meier heard what Cao Ziheng meant, which was clearly to ask Si Fendi to pretend to be forced.
"Head, we don't have the money to configure genetic drugs, and now we can't even match the drugs that stabilize genes, I just brought some drugs that help stabilize genes, this is the last bit of things we have on hand, if we use them, our experiments can be disbanded."
When she came to the hospital, Si Fendi immediately complained, and while complaining, she took out some powder-like things.
Of course, his complaints didn't have the slightest effect, Cao Ziheng didn't seem to hear it at all, but it was Marco, but there was a faint hint of Hao Ran in his eyes, and then a trace of firmness flashed in his eyes, obviously he was planning to use all means to make money.
