Chapter 276 Unknown Disease
The conditions in Qiu Dongming's family are not very good, which Li Yi can easily see.

In other cities, it is unimaginable that an awakened person in his eighteenth or nineteenth years would have poor family conditions.

Because in other cities, starting from middle school, going to school to practice is a very expensive thing!

Those who have no background at home usually cannot even afford to go to school.

Even if they go to school, generally very few people pass the awakening test.

Because they tend to advance through cultivation very early, otherwise they cannot keep up with classmates who have family resources to support them.

In some remote and backward "village, town" level settlements, the awakened people have even become the "privilege" of the "nobles".

Li Yi has experienced this personally.

But Xinducheng can be called the "City of Hope", which is naturally different from other cities.

First of all, Xinducheng implements 12 years of compulsory education, that is to say, regardless of poverty or wealth, the people of Xinducheng at least have the opportunity to finish middle school and participate in the awakening trial.

(But you don't have to participate in the awakening trial. It's not compulsory. After all, not everyone has fighting talent, and the awakening trial will eventually kill people.)
At the same time, because of the express regulations of Xinducheng, promotion is not allowed before the awakening trial!
This also ensures that most students will not lose the opportunity to awaken in the first place.

(The reason why I say most of them... as we all know, there are always some bears who like to die, this official can't control it.)
Of course, no matter how powerful the authorities are, even if everyone participates in the awakening trial, it is impossible for everyone to awaken successfully.

This is reality.

……

After the awakening trial, if you are lucky enough to become an awakened person, students can apply for student loans when they go to college (Mowu College).

Unlike the society before the catastrophe, the income of the awakened ones after graduation will not be too bad, and the loan will definitely be repaid.

Naturally, the official would not mind making some "investments", so this application is basically 100% approved.

Therefore, in Metropolis University, there are actually quite a few students from ordinary backgrounds.

However, Xindu University also has a rule that many poor students criticize:
Students before junior year are not allowed to go out of town to do missions!

This is of course a correct and good rule for the students.

But you can't go out of the city to do tasks. Even if the students are all awakened people, you can't make much money part-time.

This makes it difficult for freshmen and sophomores at Xindu University to earn money on their own.

Well, students should study hard, and thinking about making money is not a problem in itself.

……

Qiu Dongming was forced to sell his "ancestral equipment" this time. The reason was not complicated. He just needed money to treat his mother's illness.

With the development of the Extraordinary society, terminal illnesses are almost non-existent, but the cost of treating different diseases is different.

This time Qiu Dongming's mother was suffering from a rather strange disease, which was difficult to treat with ordinary healing potions, and required a priest to spend money to cast a high-level healing spell.

(The priest here refers to the advanced profession that uses divine magic.)
Qiu Dongming wanted to sell the "Frozen War Armor" left by the "Iceman", in fact, he wanted to raise the cost of hiring a priest.

As Li Yi expected, this pastor came from the power of the church.

When collecting money to save people, their "master" doesn't seem to be that "benevolent"!

……

After listening to Qiu Dongming's narration, Li Yi understood the cause and effect of the matter.

"You don't need to sell things, keep them for yourself! It's fate to meet you, take me to see your mother's situation! Maybe I can save it, don't waste money!"

Li Yi casually threw the "Frozen Armor" back to Qiu Dongming, then stood up and said.

Among other things, just because Qiu Dongming is a descendant of "Iceman", Li Yi will choose to help in this matter.

After all, the Chamber of Commerce earned Li Yi hundreds of millions of belief points, and each of these "subordinates" can be regarded as hard work.

Now the descendants of the "subordinates" are in trouble, it's fine if they don't meet them, but if they meet Li Yi, the "boss", of course they have to help.

As for the descendants of the "Ice Man" being mixed up like this, whether Zhang Fuguo is derelict in his duty as a comrade-in-arms, Li Yi doesn't think it is.

Because Zhang Fuguo said before that the "Iceman" did not break through the legend, and died of old age after his life energy was exhausted.

In the later years of "Iceman"'s life, he didn't have much contact with other people.

Hundreds of years have passed, and as a descendant of countless generations, Qiu Dongming may not necessarily know that his ancestor and the principal are old, Zhang Fuguo would be a ghost if he knew.

As for why not give Qianqiu Dongming directly and ask him to hire a priest, it is because Li Yi believes in his healing skills more.

Besides, for this kind of thing, it’s appropriate to come and express condolences!
……

"Teacher is also a healing profession?"

Hearing Li Yi's words, Qiu Dongming was surprised and delighted.

Surprise is mainly surprise, the healing profession is a "rich profession" among fighters, and it is a special talent that can get a high salary casually.

And Li Yi would actually become a cold weapon instructor who looks like a "bitter haha" to ordinary people?
It's normal for Qiu Dongming to feel surprised.

The joy is a surprise. After all, Li Yi is an "unfathomable" master in the eyes of the students in Class 00 (Seventeenth) of their swordsmanship.

With him taking action, wouldn't it be easy to cure his mother's illness?

"Walking in the rivers and lakes, who doesn't have a few healing skills!"

Li Yi smiled and urged again:
"Stop talking nonsense and lead the way!"

"it is good!"

It was about his mother, so Qiu Dongming was not polite, and stuffed the "Frozen Armor" that still looked like a wristband into his bosom, and it was considered as a payment.

Then he took Li Yi and rushed home.

……

On the way, Qiu Dongming also briefly told Li Yi about his family's situation.

His father was originally the city guard of the new capital city, but later died in a combat mission outside the city.

Afterwards, he and his mother were left alone in the family.

Because his father died in the line of duty after all, so the life of their mother and son is still decent.

It's just that in recent years he became an awakened person, and after he went to university, his family was not so well-off.

Of course, under normal circumstances, when he is in his junior year and starts to take on tasks to make money, life at home will naturally improve.

Who knew that my mother would suddenly get such a disease...

"It's okay, the disease that can be cured is not a problem."

Li Yi comforted Qiu Dongming casually, and asked again:
"By the way, you haven't even said what disease your mother has! What's wrong with her body?"

"do not know."

To Li Yi's surprise, Qiu Dongming couldn't tell what disease his mother had.

"Haven't you seen a doctor?"

"I've seen it, but the doctor can't tell.

Later, a neighbor told us that the disease had been cured by the church.

That’s why I went to the church to find a pastor.

I just didn’t expect that hiring a priest would be so expensive, actually costing a thousand gold..."

When he mentioned "a thousand pieces of gold", Qiu Dongming had a pained expression on his face.

But when Li Yi heard what he said, there was a hint of playfulness on his face...
