Why didn't anyone tell me this is a parallel world?
Chapter 270: Health is Hard
The topic of the barrage always changes very quickly. After talking about everything, they can always turn back to the original topic in the end.
The banquet was still held in the auditorium of Sungkyunkwan High School, and the interior and exterior were transformed to perfectly suit the Christmas atmosphere.
Most of the hundreds of live broadcast cameras were removed, leaving only a few. The group picture that had given the audience a hard time making choices was turned into a single picture.
Principal Shi Yunhe spoke briefly, and soon, under the eager anticipation of everyone, announced this year's "lucky fish" student - the student who received the most gifts, who would receive all the remaining gifts that had not been found.
What surprised Xia Liuying was that this year's koi student turned out to be Xu Longze.
Not only was Xia Liuying surprised, but Xu Longze himself was also confused. When Principal Shi Yunhe called his name, he hadn't reacted yet and the live camera was aimed at him.
He was covered in marks of beatings, and had been in the infirmary for most of the treatment before attending the dinner, but he still looked extremely miserable, as he had lost more than he won in the ring.
Then Principal Shi Yunhe briefly introduced Xu Longze's achievements - he prepared dozens of gifts as challenge rewards, regardless of winning or losing, to attract other students to compete with him.
Basically, it was the sophomores and juniors who joined in the fun. They beat up the juniors and took their gifts. No one would feel comfortable doing that, so while taking Xu Longze's gifts, the seniors also left their own gifts for Xu Longze.
In other words, Xu Longze received as many gifts as he gave out, and he was undoubtedly the person who received the most gifts.
The audience listened in awe and had no objection to Xu Longze getting the koi reward.
There were not many gift boxes that were not found, only less than a hundred or so, so Xu Longze, with an expression of a gangster who was not easy to mess with, spent nearly half an hour opening the gift boxes in front of the live camera.
The most painful thing was that many gift boxes were filled with things that were not suitable for Xu Longze... such as a Hua Lanna dress that looked like black stockings.
The audience did not miss Xu Longze's eyes that suddenly widened, and they immediately burst into laughter.
In addition, women's pinky rings, crystal diamond crowns, Venus silk women's handbags... accounted for half.
Although all the items taken out are new and have never been used, in fact, for the owners of the items, these are accessories that they themselves feel are "outdated" - it is not that the accessories are outdated, but that the aesthetics are outdated.
Maybe the gem you bought on a whim last year doesn’t seem to matter to you when you look at it again this year, so you might as well give it to someone else as a gift.
Therefore, the number of gift boxes at Sungkyunkwan High School’s Christmas campus parade every year is never small. For some female students who particularly like shopping, it is a good way to clear out old things.
But it is a trouble for Koi classmates. These things are not easy to deal with, and it is too embarrassing to sell them at a discount. Besides, they are not short of this little money.
But if it is kept and preserved, it would seem very strange.
Fortunately, classmate Xu Longze was not that stupid. After opening the gift box, he picked out those female items that were not suitable for him, and gave them all to Xia Liuying... and Jin Linglong and other companions who participated in the National Superpower Competition together.
Zuo Chen almost had a fight with Xu Longze because Xu Longze "subconsciously" considered him to be in the girls' camp.
……
The dinner was over and Sungkyunkwan High School’s Christmas campus tour also came to an end. Xia Liuying and Jin Linglong returned to the dormitory with many gifts.
In fact, these things are of no use to Xia Liuying and the others. The dresses may not fit their size or meet their aesthetic standards. There is basically no chance for them to carry all the brand-name bags out.
They took over just to make Xu Longze less embarrassed.
But Xia Liuying felt it was a pity that she couldn't use it. Those young masters and young ladies looked down on the money, but she, an ordinary person from an ordinary family, could appreciate it.
A few hundred thousand dollars can do a lot of things. It can help more students from poor families go to school, help more sick poor people get medical treatment, and rescue more animals... No matter how you think about it, it's better than just putting it as a decoration at home.
But it's not something she can do alone. She should ask other people for their opinions and ideas tomorrow, and then ask her manager Mingyue for her opinion. Having professionals offer suggestions will definitely be more appropriate than the ideas she comes up with on the spur of the moment.
As soon as she returned to the dormitory, Xia Liuying saw a very conspicuous gift box placed on the coffee table in the living room. She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Jin Linglong.
Jin Linglong shrugged, smiling, "Here, you spent the whole day looking for the gift I prepared, so I'll put it here."
(I have not slept for a day and a night, my brain is numb)
Of course, Jin Linglong must have prepared more than just this one, otherwise even if it was placed in the dormitory, it would probably be collected and given to Koi classmate Xu Longze.
To be precise, this gift was given to Xia Liuying privately by her.
Xia Liuying put down the other things in her hands and opened the gift box in front of Jin Linglong. Inside was a set of "school uniforms".
"It's specially made for you." Jin Linglong gestured to Xia Liuying to put it on.
A psychic's powers usually cannot affect anything other than themselves, such as clothes, but some psychics cannot avoid their own bodies when using their powers.
In order to prevent the psychics from running naked after using their powers, "special clothes" that have integrated the psychics' own genes appeared. Because they contain the psychics' genes, they can be assimilated by the powers, retaining the last bit of dignity for the psychics.
Students at Sungkyunkwan High School basically wear special clothes that are close to underwear, like the small vest and shorts that Xia Liuying wore before, but few people choose school uniforms.
After all, the more materials that are not one's own genes, the slower the speed of releasing superpowers will be, and the impact is very large, so everyone generally wears ordinary school uniforms so that they don't feel bad about consuming them.
The price of "special clothes" is not too expensive, at least not expensive in Sungkyunkwan High School, but the amount that can be applied for is very small, at least it is not possible for the young masters and young ladies of Sungkyunkwan High School to change into a set of clothes every day.
Moreover, there is no need for first-year students. The speed of releasing superpowers is not fast. For someone with beast-like superpowers like Xia Liuying, who would be willing to wear a whole set of special school uniforms to drag themselves down?
Only a superpower like Jin Linglong, who only needs to worry about clothes getting damaged, would usually wear a full set of special school uniforms.
Furthermore, after reaching the second grade, students will come into contact with various supernatural tools, and after the third grade, students will try to match their own "special combat uniforms".
It's not just about merging with the body. In order to avoid running naked, one also has to try various materials that match one's own abilities to enhance the power of the abilities or produce more effects.
It is very obvious that Xia Liuying does not like to appear in the public eye wearing too few clothes. Her fans noticed this a long time ago, which also indirectly proves her character as a good girl and a top student.
It's not that she is feudal, but she thinks that she is only fifteen or sixteen years old and still a minor. She doesn't want to bring a bad influence to other minors and make them mistakenly believe that exposing their bodies is a normal thing.
There is freedom of dress, but at least after adulthood, one has a clear self-awareness, can distinguish right from wrong, has the awareness to protect oneself, and will not be taken advantage of by bad people.
Jin Linglong also noticed this matter and had already had this idea in mind, which is why she specially prepared this set of school uniform for Xia Liuying.
In fact, it can be regarded as a basic version of a special combat suit. Not only can it fully integrate superpowers and transform along with Xia Liuying's beast transformation, but it also contains some special materials that can enhance defense capabilities.
"It uses a simulated snake scale material. When you use the red-tailed boa constrictor to transform into a beast, your defense will be enhanced." Jin Linglong introduced. Unfortunately, only this kind of material is mixed in, and the effect is relatively simple.
Xia Liuying was already quite touched. Although she now had considerable assets, she did not have enough connections. She did not even know where to customize such special clothes and could only use the school's general uniforms.
Xia Liuying put on a new school uniform and tried to transform part of her body into a beast. It took her a lot longer than normal, but it was within an acceptable range. After she became proficient in it, the time could be shortened.
The more times you use it, the more proficient you will become with it. Many star heroes only have one set of special combat suits, and at most one set as a spare. It's not that they can't afford more, but only the set that they use all the time can exert the greatest power.
Just like a magnet, if it comes into contact with other objects for a long time, it will also become magnetic. The more the psychic's special combat suit is used, the more it will fit the psychic himself.
Xia Liuying looked at her arms covered with snake scales. The sleeves of her new school uniform had blended in perfectly. She felt as if she was covered with a thin film. She was a little uncomfortable with it, but it was not noticeable from the outside.
I tried letting Jin Linglong burn with pure fire. It took a while before I felt the burning sensation. The defense ability was indeed greatly enhanced.
Jin Linglong quickly retracted the flame. She had spent so much time preparing the gift, it would not be good to have it burnt all at once, so she just had to give it a try.
After tidying up and putting away the school uniform, Xia Liuying recalled her previous thoughts and casually said to Jin Linglong, "I don't have much use for these things, and it's a pity to leave them alone. I was wondering if I could do something with them."
“This money can do a lot of things.”
Jin Linglong was originally thinking about how to deal with these things, and she became interested after hearing this. "What do you think?"
"I don't have any specific ideas yet, but I am considering rescuing wild animals, providing financial aid to poor students, and helping some poor families with medical treatment." Xia Liuying briefly talked about a few things she had thought of.
"It's a good idea, but I don't recommend you to do too much. It will be easier to pick a main direction and only do related content. Otherwise, problems will easily arise." Jin Linglong thought for a moment and pointed out the biggest problem.
"As for student subsidies, in fact, everything is already perfect. If you interfere, it will be difficult to get any benefits. It's okay to provide individual financial assistance, but do you think it's necessary?" Jin Linglong spread her hands. She understood many things about her family very well.
Because of the emergence of people with special powers, every country has very strict management of resident information registration. From the birth of a baby, all kinds of data are uploaded to the official resident information website, and various checks are carried out every time the baby reaches a certain age.
After all, not sending children to school is an illegal act. Parents only need to accept the education after the first reminder. If they still do not send their children to school, a certain fee will be deducted directly from the parents' account, and the official will send the children to a specific boarding school until they finish junior high school.
Every child must finish junior high school... In the early years, the requirement was elementary school, and now it is junior high school. I heard that many people have called for upgrading basic education to high school.
If there is no money in the parents' accounts and everything is done in cash, the authorities will directly control the parents' fixed assets until the parents pay the full amount of the child's tuition and support.
Parents who have no fixed assets, no savings, and no jobs are in luck. The government will directly provide them with jobs in closed-management factories, and their children will not be able to leave until they graduate from junior high school.
There is no way, because children's minds are the purest and they are too easy to be brainwashed and deceived. Without sufficient basic education, the number of people with special abilities due to emotional outbursts will increase dramatically, which will have a huge impact on social stability.
The coexistence of people with special powers and ordinary people seems very stable, but it is actually the result of the united efforts of all parties.
Xia Liuying only has a few million dollars in her hands and can't do anything big. Those who can go to high school after finishing junior high school naturally know how to apply for official subsidies, but for those who are not planning to go to high school, the subsidies will be of no use to them.
Xia Liuying was slightly stunned. The situation in her previous life was different from this life, so she subconsciously ignored this point.
She thought it was the situation in her previous life where there were countless children stuck in the mountains and unable to get out, but Lu Shanjun, a classmate of Jingfu Imperial College, was a child who came out of the mountains. Even many super star schools had a certain number of places reserved for children from mountainous areas every year.
There is no designated place in Sungkyunkyun High School, but Gyeongbu University has an official background, so there are quite a few places.
"As for the medical treatment for poor families... you can't do anything about it." Jin Linglong said honestly.
What is considered a poor family? Should we select certain diseases for subsidies? If the disease is a life-saving disease, will you save them or not? How long will you save them? What if you give money but the patient does not use the money for treatment? What if you give money but the patient is not cured?
Besides, serious illnesses and terminal diseases are more likely to stimulate supernatural powers, and the authorities must have corresponding measures. Different forces are responsible for each link. Not to mention the negative impacts, even the positive significance is not something that Xia Liuying, who has no family background, can interfere with.
If she happened to meet a seriously ill person and felt compassion for the other person and wanted to help him, that would be fine, but if she wanted to expand the scope, she would need sufficient background or strength to support it.
"I was just too naive." Xia Liuying pressed her temple and looked at Jin Linglong.
“What about wildlife rescue?”
