Chapter 52 You Descend from the Sky
Haydn suppressed the slight displeasure in his heart and transferred another 2 Cowens to Nan Rong.

"This is a deposit," he said. "No matter if it succeeds or not, you don't have to return it. If you really get the notes, we can trade based on the specific situation."

"Okay." Nan Rong was overjoyed. It was indeed the easiest to make money from a well-behaved young master like him.

She closed the handout and walked out, leaving behind one last sentence: "Don't forget to introduce clients to me."

Today was another fruitful day. Including the star coins, Nan Rong's asset balance exceeded 21, which was really cause for celebration.

All this is largely due to Melissa's generosity.

Nan Rong hummed a song and after repeatedly verifying his face, he boarded the landing platform of the main building.

Melissa's private floating fleet is ready to go.

As soon as she got on board, the hovercraft rose vertically without warning.

If he were an ordinary person, he would have been pinned to the ground by now, but unfortunately, Nan Rong was not among these people.

She acted as if nothing had happened and followed the instructions of the accompanying guards and sat down in the first row of seats. She also turned around and said hello to Melissa who was sitting behind her.

"I heard that you gave a good lecture today." She smiled slightly: "It seems that I found the right person."

"Thank you. Where are we going?" Nan Rong asked, "There is a second grade picking class this afternoon."

This trip was not included in the itinerary provided by Melissa, and she was only notified about it after class.

"Really?" Melissa said disapprovingly, "Then let them take a mock class instead. As for you, you have more important things to do."

More than an hour later, the floating convoy landed on the landing pad of the Genetic Disease Hospital in Hexi Province.

The floor was covered with a brand new silver-red carpet. The hospital director and other leaders, as well as some senior executives from the Hexi Province Genetic Research Institute, stood on both sides of the carpet to welcome them.

The orchestra played a leisurely and inspiring welcome song: "You Came from the Sky".

This is a song that is commonly used by lower-level stars in the Federation to welcome visitors from higher-level stars. The melody is passionate and the lyrics are catchy.

"The starlight shines upon you, and the sea of stars shines brightly because of you.

Please lead us, dear guide.

Go forward bravely! "

The last note fell powerfully, and children in hospital gowns lined up in an orderly queue, carrying flower baskets and walking along the carpet.

As she walked, she scattered the flower petals in the basket.

The team stopped not far in front of Melissa and separated.

A handsome boy holding a bouquet of flowers came forward and shyly handed the bouquet to Melissa.

She took it, handed it to the guard beside her, and touched the sparse white hair on the boy's forehead.

Not only his hair, but also his complexion, pupils and lips were all a sickly pale color.

"Congenital ORS albinism." Melissa's eyes showed pity: "How old are you this year?"

"Nine years old." The boy answered obediently. Congenital ORS albinism is the most common severe genetic disease, and few patients can live beyond the age of ten. However, there is still a chance of recovery.

"Don't worry, you will celebrate your tenth birthday safely. There will be many more birthdays in the future," Melissa said to the boy.

It was the first time that Nan Rong heard her speak in such a gentle tone.

The boy thanked them politely and left with the other children. People on both sides rushed forward, surrounding Melissa like the moon surrounded by stars, and led her out.

Nan Rong walked with the guards at the rear of the palace, and through the huge crowd, he listened to those people vying to introduce themselves to Melissa.

At this moment, she was already holding a high and mighty attitude, her voice elegant and indifferent. But they didn't care about her attitude at all, and their enthusiasm was so overflowing that it raised the chilly air by several degrees.

Nan Rong's pace gradually slowed down and he fell behind the team.

Suddenly, she saw a sickly, gray, childish face poking out from behind a building in the distance.

She was a skinny girl of about seven or eight years old, holding a dirty rag doll tightly in her arms. She only had time to look in this direction before she was dragged back by someone behind her.

Nan Rong had excellent eyesight. Even from a distance of hundreds of meters, he could still see the fear and resistance on her face, as well as the dark cross-shaped lines half-hidden under her messy hair.

She recognized the dark pattern. After the failure of awakening extraordinary abilities, there is a certain probability that the whole body's genes will degenerate. When the cross pattern appears, it means that death will come within a few days.

Of course, with just a first-level gene optimization potion, there is a great chance that the child can be saved.

Not only can you save your life, but you can also continue to awaken your extraordinary abilities and get the opportunity to change your life.

Nan Rong's mind moved slightly, and while no one was paying attention, he turned around and walked quickly in the direction where the sick child disappeared.

The pain caused by genetic degeneration is much more intense than that of congenital ORS albinism. Even if painkillers are injected, the effect is not ideal.

I don’t know why the sick child would sneak out despite the pain.

Melissa just said in the car that her main purpose of coming here today is to see those critically ill patients and tailor genetic medicines for them.

This was an important part of her training on the planet Xiluo. Both the provincial genetic disease hospital and the genetic research institute had expressed their full cooperation and active support, and had already screened out 20 critically ill patients with life-threatening conditions, waiting for her rescue.

The sick child just now must be on the list of 20 people, so he endured the pain and came to see the person who would save his life, right?
Nan Rong turned the corner and found that there was no one behind her. She slowly squatted down and looked at the stuffed cat lying on the ground.

It looked even more miserable than before. Most of its head was torn off, revealing the gray-yellow stuffing inside, and its two broken legs were scattered alone not far away.

An image emerged in Nan Rong's mind: a sick girl was crying, trying her best to protect her doll, but it was ruthlessly snatched from her arms, torn apart and thrown to the ground.

Her brows knitted slightly. At this moment, she suddenly received a message on her personal terminal.

It was from Melissa, asking her to go to the conference room in the main building immediately.

The sturdy female nurse was full of anger. She carried Ava and rushed through two medical buildings, just in time to meet her mother who was anxiously looking for her.

With a "bang", the female nurse threw her onto the cold and hard white stone tiles without mercy.

Caught off guard, Ava only had time to protect her head and face with her arms, while her limbs were all hurt from the fall.

"Ava, Ava, how are you?" Her mother stumbled over and hugged her in her arms. Her eyes quickly fell on the blood oozing from her elbow, and the pain in her eyes was obvious.
