Chapter 2, The First Generation of Discharge Adjusters
Thus, Noel's parents began to inquire everywhere in order to have a child
"You need not worry about this; your medical expenses have already been taken care of by someone," the doctor said with a smile.
Thus, upon learning that someone had already paid the medical expenses, Noel felt as if he were still caught in a dream
Your health has recovered quite well, and you may be discharged from the hospital
Lao · Lu? After hearing this, Nuoer always felt that this name was somewhat strange, as if he had heard it somewhere before, but he couldn't recall it at the moment
Noel did not receive the talents of the Adjusters, yet he bore the label of an Adjuster
Forget it, since I am already here, I might as well make myself comfortable. Anyway... wait a minute! I still don't know who bumped into me!
You can handle the discharge procedures by yourself in a little while, and make sure to rest after you return
Noel pondered his future while weeding, although he did not know how he had come to this point, it was evident that he could not go back
Alright ... ...
Countless adjusters who had never left Earth have been brutally murdered
In fact, it is more accurate to say that it is a process of ordinary artificial insemination to cultivate offspring rather than an experiment involving adjusters
It is getting late, let us hurry up and finish so we can go back to eat.
Noel was momentarily taken aback after listening; if he remembered correctly, he seemed to have suffered from bilateral comminuted fractures of the arms, a fractured leg bone, fractured ribs that penetrated the lung, and intracranial hemorrhage
However, after gaining an understanding of the original host's memories, Noel realized that he had been overthinking; this individual was actually just an ordinary adjuster like himself, and it was merely a coincidence that his name was somewhat similar to Aslan.
However, this impressive setting encountered an unexpected turn with Noel
Three days later, inside the July colonial satellite
... ...
As an orphaned boy, the things I can do are indeed limited
Unfortunately, the heavens do not fulfill human wishes
However, it was precisely because of the relatively low expectations and demands of his parents that Noel was not abandoned like other stillborn children and was able to be born smoothly
The person in front of me is named Asya. A few days ago, Noel was almost frightened to death by this name, thinking that he had encountered the protagonist all of a sudden
Noel's parents were different from other test subjects; their intention was not to hope for their child to be born with exceptional talents. They simply wanted a child, so they did not alter the genes.
As soon as I crossed over, I found myself burdened with a debt of four million. You might as well kill me; perhaps I could take the opportunity to cross back over while it's still fresh.
By a stroke of luck, my parents were selected as subjects to participate in the subsequent Adjuster Experiment and *Illustrated* Book.
In the fields, a man dressed in a tank top interrupted Noel's thoughts
By the way, what should I do about my medical expenses
It is indeed ironic
Therefore, the primary task now is to preserve one's life
In fact, there are still some things he has not mentioned; the medications and instruments used by Noel are among the best in PLANT, which is why he was able to recover so quickly, after all, Adjusters still belong to the category of humanity
What should I do to survive?
Unlike oneself, Asya is a genuine adjuster who has undergone proper adjustments, distinct from the half-hearted adjustments of oneself
Exempting certain benefits, discounts, and various national policies, there still remains a shortfall of over 4 million on the bill
"Then do you want to take a break? There isn't much to do today, I can handle it by myself." Upon hearing this, Asya hurriedly put down what she was holding and stepped forward to express her concern.
P . L . A . N . T consists of 12 regions (referred to as "cities"), each of which has its own specialized departments
Can I be discharged from the hospital
The medical expenses for oneself can be quite substantial
Originally, the situation had reached a conclusion that was satisfactory for all parties involved
The research institute and Noel's parents each take what they need, and each is well in their own way
Noel was unaware of the details; since the doctor has said so, you cannot stubbornly remain here any longer
A full eight million, indeed, over eight million!
As for why he was able to participate in the Adjuster Experiment, the reason is that his mother was infertile, or rather, his mother's body had issues that prevented her from carrying a newborn to term
These cities are arranged according to the Roman months, and each city consists of 10 colonial satellites. For example, the city of Januari is named JanuariOne, JanuariTwo, and so on.
Therefore, Noel does not strictly belong to the Adjusters, yet he was born from the research base of the Adjusters
But now you tell me that I can be discharged, and it has only been half a month
Approximately ten minutes later
It was only half a month ago that I unexpectedly encountered a car accident while shopping, which ended this painful life
Is it because they know I cannot afford to pay for medical expenses that they decided to cut their losses in a timely manner
Noel's parents also perished in that catastrophe, and it was only thanks to the kindness of a neighbor that Noel was able to escape disaster
In fact, the original owner's life has been extremely tumultuous
that is ~ January, February, March, April ... ...
Is that so
The doctor compared the case information and smiled at Zhao Nuo
"It's nothing, perhaps my body hasn't fully recovered yet." Noel came to her senses and smiled at the man.
Noel Cassia belongs to the first generation of Adjusters, which is quite impressive, as the first generation of Adjusters is significantly stronger than the second generation.
His parents are both natural persons, but unlike other affluent families that are subject to adjustments, Noel's family is not wealthy and can only be considered to be of below-average status
The doctor thought carefully and said: "I don't pay much attention to this matter, so I can't recall it at the moment. However, your medical expenses have indeed been fully paid."
It is already quite unfortunate that there were no fatalities on the spot... Well, indeed, there was one fatality at the scene
Moreover, I do not have any money for medical expenses either
According to the memories before me
"Do I really look that fragile? Moreover, the doctor has advised me to exercise more after being discharged, as it will aid in my recovery." Noel declined Asya's kind offer
Yes, you read that correctly, Noel Cassia is an orphan, or rather, a war orphan
It seems to be someone named Lao Lu...
... ...
After several twists and turns, I finally boarded the shuttle heading to PLANT
I understand, thank you, doctor
In the past on Earth, with such an injury, not to mention being discharged from the hospital, it would have been a question whether you could even walk off the operating table alive
The doctor said with a smile, and upon seeing Noel's doubtful expression, continued, "Although your body has not fully recovered, you can almost move freely now. Just be mindful in your daily life."
"Has it already been paid? Who?" Noel was astonished, wondering if such good fortune really existed
After the doctor confirmed that Noel had no issues, he turned and left the ward
Upon arriving at PLANT, due to Noel's young age, the PLANT government sent him to an orphanage within the July satellite for care
You cannot imagine the despair that Nor was in when he first awoke and saw his medical list. If it weren't for the pain of suicide, he would have wanted to end his life right then and there
The medical expenses have been resolved, but what about my compensation for mental distress
In any case, the first generation is quite impressive
You are fine now; your body has basically recovered
Due to the intensification of conflicts between the adjusters and natural persons, a large-scale cleansing operation has emerged on Earth, codenamed: For a Blue and Pure World
Suddenly, Noel remembered something very important; he still did not know who the perpetrator was
As Asia watched Noel, who had just finished speaking and was now bending down to work, she scratched her head in a somewhat puzzled manner
What is wrong with you, Noel? Why do you always seem so distracted?
That base deity is the first generation, as for Lux, Aslan, and some other big shots... I am not sure if that is the case
