Silin asked a few big hospitals in the city center, but many doctors were too lazy to answer Silin's questions.
When those people saw Silin, they would look at his clothes at first glance. If it was not high-end goods, then sorry, they had no time for him. If he was not from the city, then they would not even bother to pay attention to him.
There were a few times when Celine didn't even open his mouth to speak, and the doctors all walked away as if they were avoiding the plague. The nurses wouldn't take a second look at you just because you were young and handsome. In a big hospital, there were plenty of rich and good-looking people that people cared about. Who cared about you?!
Although Chang Xiaoqi could not fully understand, he vaguely felt something. After all, children had an instinctive understanding of the eyes of adults. When he saw the eyes of the doctors and nurses, Chang Xiaoqi's original excitement and curiosity cooled down a lot, and he seemed very quiet.
Silin looked at Chang Xiaoqi and did not continue to stick to his cold ass. Based on the current situation, when Old Man Chang came to seek medical treatment, he had received a lot of such cold treatment. So according to the experience that Old Man Chang had taught him, if he could not do it at once, he would directly ask the service robots. At least they would be better.
Sometimes, non-humans were more approachable than humans. The distance between the hearts of humans could not even compare to that of a machine.
After asking about the general situation, Silin estimated that if Chang Xiaowu's condition was to receive a full set of treatment, it would definitely not be less than 100,000 yuan. This was only the lowest configuration of treatment. The higher configuration of treatment was estimated to be 300,000 to 400,000 yuan.
There was still a long way to go!
After leaving the hospital, Chang Xiaoqi's state was a lot better. After all, he was a child. After seeing all kinds of new things in the city, he temporarily put the discomfort he had just felt in the back of his mind.
Silin bought some things according to the items listed on Old Man Chang's list. As for Huimao's fish biscuits, they were not easy to buy. Silin looked at the pet biscuits in the pet supplies store. The quality was not good. According to Silin's understanding of Huimao, the guy would definitely not like it. So, Silin found several large stores before he was satisfied with it. It was not in the pet food category. It was for people, and it was what the small bourgeoisie liked. After buying it, Huimao and the little ones could eat it.
Silin also went to a few communicators that were currently selling and bought a simple and cheap communicator. Right now, he wasn't in the League of Stars, so the large amount of League of Stars coins in his hands couldn't be used here.
After making the purchase, Silin first contacted Old Man Chang. Old Man Chang and Bel were busy at the moment, so it was Little Six who answered the call. Silin asked about the situation in the store and if there was anything else he wanted to buy. Bel knew that it was Silin calling, so he yelled at Silin to hurry back. He couldn't handle everything by himself.
After contacting Old Man Chang's store, Silin then contacted the fat shop owner of the parts market. The fat shop owner was very reluctant to see Silin leave, so he left his number with Silin and told Silin to contact him after he bought the communicator.
It had to be said that the fat shop owner really thought highly of Silin. Besides, there might be a few more parts transactions in the future. The fat shop owner had given Silin a twenty percent discount and had even taken the initiative to contact him. This was already giving enough face, so he couldn't throw a tantrum, could he? That was called not wanting face when given face.
The fat shop owner was very happy. He wrote down Silin's number and said that he would contact Silin as soon as his flying car model was finished.
While Silin was making his purchases, someone had already clearly seen Silin's every move, including the person Silin was contacting.
"Ikeqi, do you think our prince is a good person?"
"Hasn't His Highness always been like this?" Ikeqi, the person who played the good cop in front of the planetary government, frowned after reading his subordinate's report. "I can't believe we ran into that fatty."
"Which fatty?"
Muso moved closer to read the report and exclaimed in surprise, "So it's him. Didn't the Sizer Family kidnap him?"
Ikeqi curled his lips and said, "He's a freak who's about the same as our prince." He paused for a moment before sighing, "He's gotten fatter again!"
Silin took Chang Xiaoqi to buy a couple of children's clothes and a set for himself. Although they weren't high-end goods, at least they looked about the same as the average person in the city. This way, he wouldn't be kicked out of certain places before he could even open his mouth.
Silin sighed as he looked at the balance in his hand. It was just like what Silin had heard the old people in the maintenance street say: "We can't get into the city!"
Silin and Chang Xiaoqi had changed into a new set of clothes. Chang Xiaoqi was very concerned about her new clothes. Although she was usually active and mischievous, and her clothes were scuffed everywhere, she looked very careful after putting on the new clothes. However, she still looked very excited. Even the temptation of candy had been reduced.
Cillin brought Chang Xiaoqi into a fast food restaurant. Now that Cillin and Chang Xiaoqi had changed into a new set of clothes, they didn't stand out in the middle of the crowd. They didn't look like they came from outside the city just by looking at their clothes, so the meal was pretty good. They didn't get rolled their eyes.
The people inside the fast food restaurant were talking about the commoners coming into the city from outside the city. They were all joking and joking with a mocking tone, but Cillin could see that these people had more or less the same thoughts. It was just that they thought too highly of themselves and were deceiving others and themselves.
Even Cillin felt sad as he watched Chang Xiao Qi gulp down his food. Although there was a genetic restriction in the League of Stars before, the difference in treatment wasn't so great. Now, many of the people in the city couldn't compare to the people outside the city in terms of genetic level, but because their IDs showed that they were from the city, they were a cut above others.
Shaking his head, Silin got rid of those chaotic thoughts and finished the food in front of him. After Chang Xiaoqi finished eating, Silin and Chang Xiaoqi set off on their way back.
When they returned to the maintenance street, they saw a long queue in front of the shop from afar.
"Silin, come help me! My arms are so sore!" Bel had just finished repairing a flying car and was about to give it a back massage when he saw Silin. He became excited and waved at him as if he had seen his savior.
Chang Xiaoliu and Chang Xiaoba, who had been handing parts to Old Man Chang, threw the parts away and ran out. Old Man Chang shook his head.
"Huh? New clothes! "
"I've seen it before. It's a brand from the city!"
"This brand isn't anything special in the city. It's not expensive."
"Even if it's not expensive, it's still from the city!"
The people waiting in the queue discussed among themselves. Some people who had never been to the city in their lives thought to themselves, Let's go to the city after the car is repaired. Isn't it just a small amount of money? I'll harden my heart! Even if I don't get the appreciation of the nobles, I'll have something to brag about in the city. With something to brag about, I'll feel better than those who don't know anything and haven't even been to the city.
When Chang Xiaoliu and Chang Xiaoba heard that Silin had new clothes from the city, they looked at Old Man Chang eagerly. Old Man Chang smiled bitterly and waved his hand. "Go."
"Thank you, Grandpa! … "
The two kids took the bags of clothes from Silin's hands and ran upstairs. Silin handed a bag to Chang Xiaowu, who was lying on the recliner. "It's yours. Go take a look."
Huimao had already gone to eat the fish biscuits. Chang Xiaowu actually didn't have much of an emotional reaction to the new clothes. However, when he saw Little Six, Little Seven, and Little Eight going upstairs, he took the bag from Silin's hands, thanked him, and went upstairs.
"Alright, let's get to work!" Silin stretched his limbs and began the repair.
It was another busy day, but also a day of harvest.
At night, Huimao lay lazily beside Silin and licked his paws. Chang Xiaowu had already fallen asleep. During this period of teaching, Chang Xiaowu's understanding of some complex programs had satisfied Huimao. It was rare to meet a human with a good brain, so Huimao didn't have high expectations.
"Today's fish biscuits are not bad!" Huimao said with a satisfied tone.
Silin pinched Huimao's ear and flicked it. "You have the nerve to say that? I worked my ass off to earn money, but that bag of food cost you a tenth of it!"
Huimao patted Silin's hand with his paw. "I also contributed to this. The kid you asked me to keep an eye on really isn't simple."
"Oh? Tell me about it! "
Silin already felt that Bel was different from the others. He dressed like the people here, didn't have the arrogant attitude of the city dwellers, and acted shamelessly. At first glance, he looked more like a local. But Silin still felt that there was something off about the kid. Something very, very wrong. That was why Silin had asked Huimao to keep an eye on Bel on the first day Bel arrived.
Both the communicator and the surveillance device were Huimao's eyes and ears. Bel didn't use it in front of others, but he did in private. This was one of the ways Huimao got to know about Bel.
"That kid's communicator is pretty advanced. Even the surveillance devices at the waterway might not be able to detect it. But, hmph hmph, it can't escape my ears." Huimao said proudly.
"Yes, yes, Master Cat, you're amazing." Silin curled his lips. This guy always liked to put himself on a pedestal.
Huimao got to his feet and said mysteriously, "Do you know who that kid is? Meow, I didn't know he was hiding his strength so well. I thought he was just a local, but it turns out he's a descendant of one of the three royal families, the Flaming Eagle Folvig. They call him His Highness. "
Cillin wasn't surprised because he was mentally prepared for what Wheeze was going to say. However, Wheeze's next words changed Cillin's impression of the prince who traveled incognito to experience the life of the lower classes.
"That brat secretly arranged for medical staff to be sent over and even transported a batch of expensive medicine. He's prepared to secretly help Chang Xiaowu during his treatment."
This was why Huimao's attitude toward Bel was so much better than before. He wouldn't let Bel pet his fur before, but now, he reluctantly let him.
Silin nodded and scratched Huimao's chin in silence.
"Sigh, the city really isn't that great. Why do so many people want to go there? In terms of development and skyscrapers, it's nowhere near as developed as some of the planets in the League of Stars. "Huimao couldn't understand the attitude people had toward the city. Humans really were creatures with complicated emotions.
Silin smiled at Huimao's words. "It's different here, but it's just a small planet that's not very developed. We'll know when we visit the capital of the Mist Bodhisattva Empire."
"Alright!" Huimao narrowed his eyes and started imagining the scenery of the capital.
Suddenly, Huimao's ears twitched and he opened his eyes. "That kid is contacting the people in the city again, but they're all about you … hmm?"
Silin didn't interrupt Huimao who was listening attentively. He must've heard something important.
A while later, Huimao looked at Silin. "You know a fatty?"
"A fatty?" Silin was puzzled. "The owner of the secondhand parts shop is a fatty. I've run into a few fatties at the hospital and the mall, but that fatty is the only one I know that's special."
"Yeah, that's the one. They talked about the parts, but …" Huimao stared at Silin with shining eyes. "It sounds like that fatty is a noble, and a good one at that!"
The fat shop owner is a noble? Silin hadn't thought of that before. He thought of the maverick prince Bel because of the Blazing Eagle incident, but the fat shop owner had stayed in the city for a few years. If he was a noble, then the people around him wouldn't have treated the fat shop owner the way they did. This meant that the fat shop owner was also a person who hid his strength well.
"What's his background?" Silin asked.
Huimao didn't answer Silin's question immediately. Instead, he grinned at something and said, "That fatty has a lot of embarrassing things, Silin. According to the people over there, the fatty's family, the Sizer Family, is a great noble. Every once in a while, they would tie him up like a pig and bring him back home at night. Hehe, his family almost razed his shop to the ground a couple of times. Oh, wait, they almost razed the entire parts market … "
Silin knew a bit about the Sizer Family. He had seen it on TV before. A family name that could be heard even in a small place like this meant that this noble family had a lot of influence in the entire Mist Bodhisattva Empire. Even if it couldn't compare to the emperor and the three kings, it was still not something a small noble could compare to.
Also, the fact that the Sizer Family had sent people all this way to kidnap him meant that the fat shop owner's status in the Sizer Family wasn't low.
"There are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in this small place!"
Huimao's eyes lit up. "Of course! We're the ones who killed Star Rank Hunters!"
Silin: "..." I didn't say 'we'.
Three days later, Silin received a call from the fat shop owner while he was repairing his flying car. The fat shop owner sounded very excited as he showed off his new flying car model and urged Silin to enter the city to study it.
Silin said while repairing his flying car, "I don't have time. I've been busy earning my living expenses lately. Why don't you come over yourself?"
Originally, Silin was just saying it. Who would've thought that the fat shop owner would actually come over?
The fat shop owner might look like a careless person, but he was actually a meticulous person. There was no way he could design those high-precision flying cars otherwise. When Cillin saw the fat owner of the shop, the fat man was getting off a rather shabby old two-passenger flying car.
The corner of Silin and the others' eyes twitched when they saw the fat man squeezing out of the relatively narrow car door while taking up two people's space.
"Sigh, who's this fat man?"
"I don't think I've seen him before."
With Fatty's physique, if he stood in the crowd, it would be hard for people not to remember his bloated body that was two heads taller than him. Therefore, the car owners in line looked at each other and asked, "Hey, Old Chang, is he from the city?"
Old Chang was also puzzled. He didn't know this person.
Silin greeted the fat shop owner and said to the others, "He's a friend from the city."
In the eyes of the people, having a friend from the city was absolutely rare and enviable. So what if he had been to the city? He still had friends in the city! At the same time, the people's desire to enter the city grew even stronger. It was estimated that the next day, there would be news that a silly kid had met a friend from the city after entering the city, and the friend had specially come from the city to see him!
The triplets worked together to move a big chair for the fat shop owner, but when the fat shop owner sat down, they couldn't help but worry if the chair could withstand the fat shop owner's weight.
Huimao squatted on the high platform and looked down at the people below. Damn, these two nobles don't even know each other!
The fat shop owner saw that both Silin and Bel were busy, so he didn't disturb them. Instead, he just watched from the side. Others might think that Silin and Bel were skilled in their maintenance, but the fat shop owner was an expert in this field. His eyes glowed and he was overjoyed. Who would've thought that there would be a capable person like Silin and another capable person here! He had never seen such experts in the city before. Now that he had met two of them, this trip was definitely worth it!
The triplets felt a chill run down their spines when they saw the fat on the fat shop owner's face jiggling. They all took a step back.
Noticing that the triplets were avoiding him, the fat shop owner put on a kind smile and asked, "Little friends, do you like flying cars?"
Although he didn't know what the fat shop owner's goal was, who wouldn't like flying cars? The triplets nodded in unison.
The fat on the fat shop owner's face became even deeper because of his smile. He took out a palm-sized device and fiddled with it for a bit, then looked at the flying car parked outside.
The triplets also looked over, and when they saw it, they almost drooled.
The windows of the shop owner's car opened automatically, and four mini flying cars the size of an adult's palm flew out. Each of them flew in front of Little Five, Little Six, Little Seven, and Little Eight.
Flying car toys!
The eyes of the people lining up outside lit up. Look, their friends from the city even brought flying car toys! That was a flying car toy, a flying car toy that could actually fly. It couldn't be sold in this area.
With Silin's nod and Old Man Chang's permission, the four finally got on the flying car.
It wasn't just the triplets. Little Five was quite fond of the toys as well. The more he came into contact with programs, the more fascinated he became with machines, not to mention this kind of toy that had very high requirements for parts and programs.
The door of the flying car popped open, revealing a card slot inside. They followed the fat shop owner's instructions and took out the card. After taking it out, the small card unfolded until it was about the size of the device in the fat shop owner's hand. There were many buttons on the thin layer of metal, and the children could control the flying car toys by manipulating these buttons.
With the flying car toys, the triplets weren't afraid of the fat shop owner whose fat jiggled when he laughed. They happily played with the flying car.
