Dr. Kerr rushed over with a serious face, and was quite puzzled: "The disease progressed unexpectedly fast... I don't know if it was because of the too high-intensity training before that caused the disease to progress so fast. Ordinarily, this should be a relatively slow disease. Fortunately, the medicine has arrived, and if it is ready, we can start the injection immediately."

Ke Xia had a sneer on his lips: "It's all come to this point, let's take medicine, there is nothing to miss, and there is nothing for me to choose."

Not long after the medicine was injected, Ke Xia became drowsy, his long eyelashes covered his hazy blue eyes, and he sank deeply into the bedding, vaguely hearing Kerr and the robot butler explaining: "It takes a whole journey Accompanying him, he will soon enter a state where his body is completely out of control and unconscious, and he can only eat liquid food. He must monitor various indicators of his body around the clock and record data every four hours..."

He suddenly opened his eyes, and forced himself to explain: "No one else is in the room, only you."

Shao Jun turned his head and replied: "Okay." Ke Xia then fell into a sleep with peace of mind.

Seeing him falling asleep, Dr. Kerr said softly, "Isn't it okay to go on like this? You are the main source of income, right? If you are the main escort, what will you do with the money?"

Shao Jun said in a low voice: "He doesn't want to meet outsiders. He still has some savings. I'll think of a way." I can only connect to Skynet to do sparring and find some opportunities, but this is the initial stage. Considering Shao Jun The psychological, or can only accompany him more.

Dr. Kerr sighed, and said softly: "In the early stage, the family members really can only accompany more. If he only trusts you, there is no other way. Our laboratory has a professional medical nursing intelligent robot that will be eliminated, which can measure, record data, move , hold the patient, help the patient move, give the patient injection, intravenous infusion, help feed the medicine, insert and remove the urinary catheter and other functions, and it can still be used after repairing it. Some will do as a fee."

This is really a great help, Shao Jun quickly thanked him, Ke Xia's current knot is that he doesn't want to see people, he only wants to be served by his own robot, so he definitely won't mind having another robot to facilitate his daily life.

"His mental strength will not be stable during this period, and his physical condition is not good. Try not to use Skynet during this period of time. You can only connect to Skynet when your nervous system is stable later." Dr. Kerr reminded some precautions, Just left the apartment.

A few weeks before Ke Xia woke up, Shao Jun lay down in the virtual cabin and connected to Skynet.

As soon as he entered Skynet, Estin really flashed beside him again. He was probably really lonely: "You haven't been on Skynet for a few days, do you still want to watch the mecha competition? Or go to practice?"

While walking towards the Blade Club, Shao Jun asked Estine, "I want to ask, do you know about Mer's disease?"

Estine was stunned: "This is a genetic disease. The main symptom is neurological desensitization. It's rare now, only some old-fashioned families who pay attention to pure blood happen occasionally, and there are more in the Empire. Now there are already Effective control and treatment methods are available. Gene screening can be carried out during the fetal period. If there is this gene, it can be intervened in the treatment and control during the fetal period. It can basically prevent the onset after birth, and then take medicine for life to prevent the onset. Very Simple. Of course, there are also nobles who adopt gene therapy after the onset of the disease, but this medicine is more expensive, the treatment process is also more painful, and the sequelae are uncontrollable. Most people adopt the method of prevention and control.”

Shao Jun was surprised: "If it is screened out during the prenatal period, do I need to take medicine for life? If I stop taking the medicine, will I get sick?"

Estin shook his head: "The onset period of this disease is very long. Generally speaking, it is well controlled during the fetal period and infancy. Occasionally stopping the drug will not cause the disease, but there will be some minor physical problems. Now that medicine is very prosperous, it is found that Symptoms can be remedied immediately and controlled by medication, and it is completely in time."

Shao Jun frowned, but doubts arose in his heart. Ke Xia was born in the royal family. If he had the gene for this disease, he should have been screened out during the prenatal period. Since he was a housekeeper, he has never seen Ke Xia take this kind of medicine. After all, as a personal nanny, it is impossible for him not to carry the little master's commonly used medicine with him.

He asked Estine: "So is there any such situation, the baby has no problem with the genetic screening during the birth examination, but develops the disease after adulthood?"

Estin shook his head: "Unless the black family has their own child and has no prenatal checkups, how can genetic screening fail to detect it? This is a very simple and mature technology. If the genetic screening fails to detect it and the onset occurs after adulthood, then It can only be explained that he is only a carrier of the Merton's gene, and he should not have the disease, so he does not need intervention treatment. However, he developed a gene mutation due to various reasons when he became an adult, which led to the disease of the Merger's gene mutation that was impossible to develop, but this is Very low probability..."

Shao Jun took a deep breath and asked, "What can induce genetic mutation?"

Estin was quite patient: "Gene virus infection, gene surgical editing, gene radiation... etc. are all possible, but these are currently strictly forbidden to be implemented on the human body, and ordinary research laboratories cannot do them."

Shao Jun suppressed his doubts, and put his sparring card on the battle system. Instead of choosing the sparring mode that was billed by time as before, he directly chose to pay by win or loss. Generally speaking, most sparring partners choose The billing is based on time, the income is stable, and the billing is based on the loss of the match, which means that the income is doubled for the win, but no point for the loss. Guests who choose this sparring mode have mature fighting skills and are very confident. The risk is too high to be worthwhile.

However, Shao Jun is not what he used to be now. In order to earn money, he needs to play the most games in a limited time. Estin's eyes flashed: "Are you short of money?"

Shao Jun didn't speak, but the red light had already flashed. Although Shao Jun didn't play much during this period, his winning rate was very high, and soon some regular customers picked him out.Shao Jun clicked into the room and defeated the opponent without spending too much time. The opponent was naturally unconvinced and quickly challenged again. After losing three times in a row, he had to quit with hatred, and another guest came. After about ten battles, Shao Jun finally felt a little tired—this was the first time he felt tired at this time. It turns out that mental fatigue is like this?

He didn't stop immediately, but carefully experienced the feeling of losing control of his mental power, learned to use his mental power more delicately, and played about three more times. Estin, who had been watching silently, warned him: "You need to Rest, you don't have sex, the mental overload will dissipate."

Shao Jun then stopped and looked at the time. Ke Xia should be waking up soon. He hastily settled today's accounts, transferred all the money to the account in the club, said hello to Estin, and hurriedly left Once the line is broken, Ke Xia has grown up, and he is no longer able to fool the past like he was a child, and he can't let him find out that his robot can actually connect to Skynet.

Only Estin was left standing there thinking.

Ke Xia closed his eyes, his slender eyelashes were like silent butterfly wings, and his pale face was like a withered white rose petal. Shao Jun thought he hadn't woken up yet, went in and checked the various data on the instrument, and saw Ke Xia opened his eyes, his eyes were very clear, and he didn't know how long he had been awake, but he didn't summon his robot at all.Shao Jun was startled: "Are you awake?"

Ke Xia said, "I'm hungry."

Shao Jun used a cooking machine to mix several kinds of melons, fruits and vitamin supplements together, then brought them over and helped Ke Xia to sit up, and slowly fed him with a spoon. Ke Xia just opened his mouth, watched Shao Jun hesitate for a while, picked up a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth for him, only to realize that he had already begun to lose the ability to swallow, he did not speak, Shao Jun Jun didn't speak either, but the interval between each spoonful was longer, waiting patiently for him to swallow slowly.

It took almost a week to feed this meal before it was considered to be fully fed. The disease progressed much faster than Dr. Kerr said. Shao Jun thought in his heart that Ke Xia should also find something wrong, but his expression did not fluctuate at all. , and remembering that he had woken up and was hungry, but he hadn’t pressed the summoning bell. Thinking of this, Shao Jun was a little uncertain about his reaction. His urine catcher.

Then it was the time for the massage. Shao Jun lifted the quilt, and slowly kneaded and massaged his hands and feet through the thin cotton pajamas. Sometimes Shao Jun pressed a little harder on some joints on purpose, his skin turned red, but he didn't respond at all.He turned him over, and slowly continued to push down along his back. The muscles trained in front of the whole back were still thinly covered, and there was even a beauty nest on the buttocks that was said to only be available to beauties.

Ke Xia kept his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep again, Shao Jun turned over for him, covered him with a quilt, looked at his calm brows, and was secretly worried.

In just a few days, after accepting such a huge bad news and making such an important choice, he changed from a mech fighter with sound limbs to a person who even needed help to drink water. Strong character - such a calm and indifferent without emotion, it's not right.

In the afternoon, Dr. Kerr sent over the nursing robot.This is a white robot with a round head and four dexterous manipulators. The alliance robot deliberately avoids the similarities with humans. It has a square head and four hands. The same soft skin feel and temperature, so that the patient being nursed feels comfortable, but deliberately avoids the color of the skin. At the same time, when it is deployed, it can inject, insert and remove the catheter, and feed while holding the patient. The function is indeed much stronger than that of Shao Jun, a humanoid robot with only two hands.Ke Xia accepted the robot's care very calmly, and commented: "It is indeed much more professional than you."

Ordinarily, Ke Xia being so quiet is a good thing for the caregiver, but Shao Jun still finds it weird. He would rather face the brat who completely collapsed and yelled than the quiet and smooth boy in front of him who seemed to accept his fate. , only he knows what he has encountered, what he has expected, the failure of great hopes, and the broken wings of the proud son of heaven, what it means to him.

Shao Jun quietly called Dr. Kerr and told about Ke Xia's current performance. Dr. Kerr hesitated for a while and said: "There is nothing wrong, you may not know that people with high mental strength are more sensitive than ordinary people, but they also have Some people showed extraordinary willpower, student Xia Ke has always been persevering and has extraordinary perseverance, since he has made a decision, he should be able to persist, at least for this period of time."

Is that so?Shao Jun is skeptical.
