I'm the King Of Technology

Chapter 609 - Phase 2

After waiting for the villagers to gleefully Express their joy and gratitude, Beri calmly looked at the crowd and signalled for his men to bring in a ledger.

"Fellow villagers, this isn’t the only reason why we came.

Our charity doesn’t only end with physical or monetary items.

No!

Many of our people had also contributed towards health benefits as well.

In order words, we are giving a chance to a few selected people who are critically ill to come to Baymard and receive treatment, transport and lodging free of charge..... until the treatment wears off.

Of course, each patient can bring in a guardian who will accompany them too.

So in total, we have 150 slots available for the patients.

Our journey doesn’t just end here, since we still need to pass through 14 more villages and towns.

Again if anyone has any doubts, you all are free to refuse or change your minds anytime throughout our journey.

If we reach the port and anyone has any cloud of doubt in their minds, then you all can always turn back.

But, Baymard is currently the home of medicine right now.

And delaying treatment for your loved ones might be detrimental to them in the long run."

--silence--

The place was so quiet that one would think that the village was indeed a deserted one.

They were going to provide them with health benefits too?

A few people’s eyes turned misty, while some people couldn’t help but look at these men with a whole new level of admiration instead.

They felt that these Baymardian people were something else.

Even when they were well-to-do, they still donated and gave back to the poor.

Some rich people would rather burn their stuff to the ground than have a peasant touch them.

Gringo also felt that these Baymardians were good.

Who would willingly take care of so many people’s health problems just like that?

They were even willing to lodge all Companions who would travel with the sick as well.

Their actions made everyone respect them even more.

Beri looked at everyone else and continued on.

"With that said, here’s a list for eligibility requirements:

▪Those who were born with an opening or slit in the roof of their mouth or upper lip (cleft lip deformity)

▪Those who have large head-sized boils protruding out of their necks, belly and chest and back.

▪Those who have been critically ill for years.

▪Those who can’t chew at all because all their teeth have either fallen out or are broken.

▪Those...."

Beri went in to list all the symptoms that they were willing to treat.

Even though he had no real medical knowledge, Landon had shown him images and real-life patients within the hospital.

So he knew what he was looking for.

Within these past few years, things like fevers, constipation, food poisoning, coughs and so on.....were now too common and easily treatable in the Pyno continent thanks to the drugs from Baymard.

So they weren’t particularly aiming at that.

Nope!

They were looking for those that needed surgical treatment.

They were looking more for people with cancerous cells growing in them, rather than physical disabilities.

Because like it or not, in this era, disabilities existed... but they mostly came from battles, scheming, plotting and fights.

They rarely ever came from birth.

.

Firstly, back on earth... an overly abused woman had an extremely high chance of giving birth to a disabled child.

But in this era, a man could hit a woman continuously and that baby would come out alright.

The women in this era had tough bodies that protected the children even more.

Not to talk of the early man!

If it were back in the dinosaur age.... please!

What abuse could bother those women?

Evolution was something that was bound to happen no matter what.

Of course there were also pros and cons to this, as all this toughness could only be forged from a hard life.

Humans would always adapt to every situation, and that was a fact!

But the extra pressure and hard life also meant short life expectancy as well.

For sure, some births resulted in joint twins or other disabilities.

But they were so rare and hardly seen, that when people did see them, they thought that the child was a monster or cursed instead.

Some believed that it was the child’s mother who sinned and was baring the wrath from the heavens, while others believed that the child was a shape of wickedness that will one day plague the earth.

And even those that grew huge cancerous cells later on in their lives, were either thought to have been poisoned or cursed too.

At times, the woman would be blamed for a.d.u.l.tery and put to death besides her monstrous baby instead.

These were really dark times.

Long story short, they had decided to treat these people and educate the rest of the world instead.

Beri himself had seen the miraculous after effect of patients who had been treated in the hospital.

So he knew that these poor people were suffering from a disease and weren’t cursed at all.

"Village Chief Gringo, please coordinate with everyone and bring all those who identify in any of the categories listed."

"No problem!"

With that, Gringo quickly did as he was told.

.

17 minutes later, Beri and his crew had gone to the huts of those who he intended to take back to Baymard.

In total, there were 5 patients: 3 children and 2 elderly men were presented to Beri and his crew.

Beri confirmed that they all met the requirements.

"Wait!

Mr. Beri, just on top of that mountain, there’s an 8-year-old orphan boy there who lives up there all alone.

He also has one of the descriptions that you mentioned.... but his case is very rare.

We had never seen anyone look the way he did.

So we thought that he was cursed.

But after listening to your description I realize that the poor boy might just be sick instead.

So... can you please take a look at him?" The village chief said embarrassedly.

"Sure!"
