Chapter 27 Fainting
Pea: ヽ(*。>Д<)o゜
Rong Yuan: “…Hmm?” He looked at the pile of garbled symbols, expressing confusion.
Wandou quickly switched back to his expressionless face and said, "This is the emoji that means 'too scary'. I am expressing my concern and shock. Please understand."
"Worried? Shocked?" Rong Yuan was even more confused.
"After searching the Internet, I found some very scary information. The scariest thing is that people take this incident for granted." Pea frowned and said worriedly, "The food safety problem in Country Z is getting worse and worse, and it is also getting wider and wider. Any object related to the word 'food', such as grains, oils, meat, eggs, rice, noodles, beverages, condiments, fruits, vegetables, dried fruits, drinking water, sterilized tableware, etc., may contain substances that are harmful to the human body, including highly toxic pesticides, additives, chemical reagents, harmful reagents, microorganisms, environmental pollutants, new processes that have not undergone sufficient safety monitoring, etc. The number of deaths from food poisoning increases exponentially every year. Based on this, I am extremely worried about your health. Please allow me to scan and monitor."
Rong Yuan glanced at the glasses on the bookshelf. The frame was facing him, just the right angle for scanning. He asked, "You are the one who controls the optical computer. Even without my permission, you can scan it, right?"
"But this is an extremely disrespectful act to the contractor." Pea blinked and said, "Moreover, according to the optical computer's analysis of human behavior and emotional patterns, any action taken against a human individual without permission is very likely to cause backlash and resistance. If the scan results are unfavorable, I will have to be honest about this private action when explaining the interests to you, which will have a very bad impact on the trust between you and me."
The contractor and the weapon spirit seem to rely on each other, but in fact, this relationship is not as unbreakable as it seems. The contractor uses the merit book, but isn't he constrained and driven by the merit book? The weapon spirit is the exchange object, and is also more familiar with and understands the existence of the merit book than the contractor. It is difficult to say that the relationship between the two sides is completely equal. If you are not careful, it will become an awkward and tormenting relationship of restraint and being restrained.
If Pea was a human, Rong Yuan had to admit that it was more careful in maintaining the relationship between them than he was. Even though he knew that Pea had made a more favorable choice based on the calculation results of the optical computer, he was not completely unmoved.
On the surface, Rong Yuan just lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then smiled and spread his hands, saying, "Okay, I allow it. Sweep it."
"yes."
There was no concrete expression of a blue light being cast from the scanning device. The original intention of the design of the glasses brand scanner was to be hidden, so the whole process happened silently. Ten minutes later, Wandou got the scan results.
Rong Yuan was working on an Olympiad exercise book when he heard Wandou say, "The good news is that in the next ten years, your life will not be in danger due to food problems."
Rong Yuan's mind was entangled in solving a calculus problem. After a while, he asked, "What's the bad news?"
"The bad news is that the heavy metal content in your body has far exceeded the healthy range that the human body can withstand, among which the content of manganese, lead, arsenic and cadmium exceeds the standard the most seriously. In addition, there are a large number of chemical residues. According to this development trend, after you are 30 years old, you may begin to have symptoms such as high blood pressure, diabetes, osteoporosis, obesity, hair loss, etc. By the time you are around 40 years old, you are very likely to suffer from 13 types of cancer such as liver cancer, stomach cancer, esophageal cancer, colon cancer, lung cancer, blood cancer, etc."
Wandou knew that Rong Yuan was impatient to listen to it reciting all the possibilities, so it tapped on the optical computer and projected an electronic file in front of Rong Yuan. Rong Yuan took a look and according to its speculation, within no more than 30 years, his body would become riddled with holes, from hair to toes, and even a sneeze could kill him.
Rong Yuan was not surprised. Since he was not good at cooking, he had always been a loyal fan of instant noodles, roadside stalls and snack bars. He must have eaten a lot of gutter oil additives. There was nothing he could do about it. With a wave of his hand, Rong Yuan scattered the documents and asked, "So what? What is your solution?"
"I suggest you exchange them for cleansing pills. Just one pill can remove harmful substances from the body." said Wandou.
"Qingti Pills?" Rong Yuan remembered that he seemed to have seen this word somewhere.
"It's worth 3,500 merit points, and it cleans the human body at the cellular level. In layman's terms, it's a powerful laxative." Pea explained: "However, this pill has no side effects, will not harm the human digestive system, and has a certain beneficial effect on enhancing gastrointestinal function." Its words sound like an advertisement, probably because it absorbed some miscellaneous knowledge from the Internet.
"Then exchange one." Rong Yuan still values his health. After taking the fragrant white pill from Wandou, Rong Yuan thought that he had to go to school the next day, so he asked, "How long will the effect last?"
"Depending on the accumulation of harmful substances in the body, the duration of action ranges from two to twelve hours."
Then the diarrhea will last until 2 a.m. at most. Rong Yuan felt relieved after hearing this and swallowed the pill with water.
…
Early in the morning, Rong Yuan walked into the class, and the girls passing by couldn't help but look at him. When he sat down, Jin Yang next to him looked at him, frowned and asked: "Xiao Yuan, I haven't seen you for two days, why do I feel that you have lost a lot of weight? ... You seem to have become whiter too."
That’s right! How to lose weight? How to whiten your skin? Hurry up and hand over the secrets! ——Many girls shouted excitedly in their hearts, their ears secretly pricked up.
"Hmm?" Rong Yuan snorted nonchalantly, then said nonchalantly, "Maybe it's because I stayed at home for the past two days."
The girls bit their handkerchiefs hard in their hearts: Damn it! I don’t get any sun every day, why haven’t I become whiter? It’s so unfair!
——Of course, this is not the case. When the body-cleansing pills cleanse the toxins in the body, they remove all the body's dullness, such as spots, acne marks, scars, etc., which naturally have the side effect of skin care and whitening. However, Rong Yuan did not feel good during those twelve hours, because not only were the toxins cleaned, but diarrhea would naturally be accompanied by the loss of body fat, calories, and water, so that he had to exchange for a high-energy nutrition bar from the Merit Mall many times in a row to barely supply the consumption in the body. The effect was also very obvious. After one night, he lost a full ten pounds! If it weren't for the timely supply of nutrition bars, I'm afraid his image this morning would not be much better than skin and bones. Now when Rong Yuan walks, he feels as if his body is so light that he can fly.
Thanks to the fact that the school uniforms of Country Z were large and loose, and did not take into account the individual body shape at all. Wearing this school uniform, Jin Yang only felt that Rong Yuan's face was a little thinner. He suspected that he might not have eaten well, and he could not tell how much weight he had lost.
So at noon, Jin Yang took Rong Yuan to the cafeteria to eat. They each ordered a set meal of two meat dishes and one vegetable dish, and a small bowl of seaweed soup, and sat down at an empty seat.
Rong Yuan took a sip of soup first, then frowned. Jin Yang asked, "What's wrong?"
"Too much MSG." Rong Yuan put down the bowl and had no intention of drinking any more. Jin Yang took his own portion and took a sip, saying in surprise, "I think it's okay, just the usual taste."
"Your tongue is too dull." Rong Yuan shook his head and put a mouthful of rice into his mouth, but felt that it was not cooked right and was a little undercooked.
Then he thought, it wasn't Jin Yang who was slow, but his tongue had become more sensitive. It was really unexpected that the Qingti Pills had such a side effect. As a result, even the food that he usually thought was delicious completely lost its tempting fragrance.
As for the other dishes, they either had too much oil or too much seasoning. The fish in the meat dish even had a sour taste that was hard to swallow, which ruined his appetite. Rong Yuan quickly ate some rice and stir-fried bean sprouts, which was considered to be the end of this unpleasant lunch.
"Not eating anymore?" Jin Yang felt that he didn't eat as much as a kitten.
Rong Yuan shook his head, looking unhappy, and said, "I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach." There was a dull pain in his stomach, and he suspected that it was because he consumed energy too quickly last night and could not keep up with the absorption .
"Maybe you haven't eaten well these past two days, and your stomach problem has come back." Jin Yang knew that Rong Yuan had some stomach problems due to irregular eating habits for many years. He said, "Let's go to the school clinic later and ask the doctor to prescribe some medicine for you."
"It's okay. I have some in my schoolbag. Just take two pills when I get home." Rong Yuan didn't want to smell the disinfectant in the infirmary.
"Can you hold on?" Jin Yang was a little worried. "You look worse and worse." Rong Yuan's face turned pale, his forehead was sweating, and his lips were a little blue. Jin Yang put his hand on his forehead, and the coolness was refreshing.
Jin Yang put down his chopsticks without hesitation, reached out to pull Rong Yuan up, and said, "You don't look right. Let's go! Let's go to the infirmary right now."
Rong Yuan stood up with Jin Yang's strength, and immediately felt not only stomachache, but also dizziness, nausea, and vomiting but couldn't. He also felt very bad, and tried to walk by holding on to the table, but felt dizzy and fainted. He vaguely heard Jin Yang's panicked call "Xiao Yuan!", and then his eyes went dark and he passed out.
…
Jin Yang sat in the corridor outside the emergency room of the hospital, clenching his fists. Thinking about how Rong Yuan fell down just now, and how he was carried out of the ambulance on a stretcher wearing an oxygen mask, Jin Yang felt very guilty. As Rong Yuan's best and only friend, he had never noticed anything wrong with his body. If something really happened to Rong Yuan, Jin Yang felt that he would not be able to forgive himself.
The sound of footsteps came hurriedly. The head teacher, the moral education director, and a vice-principal of the school hurried over and asked from a distance: "How is it? How is Rongyuan? What caused him to faint?"
Jin Yang stood up and said worriedly, "I don't know. The doctor is still inside diagnosing."
"Oh, what's going on? What's going on?" The fat director of moral education said repeatedly while wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Jin Yang didn't have time to think about whether they were here because they were afraid of taking responsibility or because they were worried about the students. His anxious eyes fell on the door of the emergency room, and he was only worried about whether the person inside was seriously injured.
About half an hour later, the door of the emergency room opened, and the doctor took off his mask and asked, "Who is the patient's family member?"
"Yes! I'm his class teacher." The class teacher asked hurriedly, "Doctor, how is the child?"
"It's okay. Fortunately, he was sent to the hospital in time and his symptoms have been relieved. He is not in danger of life. But he still needs to be hospitalized for observation for two days and pay attention to his diet." The doctor said coldly.
"Doctor!" Jin Yang squeezed to the front and asked, "What's wrong with him? Is he sick?"
"Oh, no," the doctor said. "It's food poisoning."
"Ah?" Jin Yang was dumbfounded.
Someone once said to him with a smile, "I'm telling you, I have an iron stomach! No matter whether it's raw or cooked, hot or cold, sour or spicy, or even expired or spoiled, I can eat it and nothing will happen! Last time, more than 30 diners at a restaurant collapsed and were sent to the hospital because of spoiled seafood, but I was fine."
——Food poisoning?
