Unscrupulous profiteer

"Miss Jia Jia!"

"Sister Jiajia is here!"

"Did Sister Jiajia bring me a toy?"

In the dilapidated courtyard, following Guo Jia's arrival, several jumping children suddenly emerged from various places, surrounding Guo Jia who had just entered the courtyard, and Guo Jia greeted them one by one with a smile.

Standing at the gate of the yard, Zheng Jing looked at the dilapidated sign with the words "Orphanage" on it, and saw the children gathering around Guo Jia in the yard, feeling a lot of doubts in his heart.

Although these children live in a poor environment, they are all wearing very new clothes, some of which are famous brands.And these little guys are all rosy, just by looking at their lively appearance, you know that they must eat and drink well at ordinary times, and they have no symptoms of malnutrition.

But Zheng Jing also noticed that although the faces of these children were full of smiles, no different from ordinary children, but some of them were vaguely inflexible when they moved.

Guo Jia, who usually dresses very simply, not only put on a brand new black dress today, but also specially put on makeup when she went out. At this time, she was picking up a little boy, stroking his head, and said with a gentle smile: "Maotou, did you bully my sister during the period when my sister was not here?"

The little boy in Guo Jia's arms shook his head vigorously: "No way! I will protect my sister. If there are bad people who bully her, I will drive them away!"

"Hehe, that's good, my sister will take you to buy toys later, will you be obedient?"

"Yeah! Maotou is the most obedient."

A little girl tugged at Guo Jia's skirt: "Sister! Sister! I want toys too."

"Don't worry, everyone has it. My sister will buy you whatever you want. By the way, where is your grandfather?" Guo Jia looked around, as if looking for someone.

"Squeak——" a wooden door opened, and an old man with silver hair and only a large white sweater came out of the house. When he saw Guo Jia, he showed a kind smile: "It's Jia Jia who is here." ah."

Guo Jia respected this old man very much. As soon as he saw this old man, he immediately ran out from a group of children, like a schoolboy called to the office by a teacher, stood in front of the old man and stood at attention, then asked with concern: " Dean, how are you doing recently?"

"Hehe, don't worry, the doctor said that I can live for at least ten more years, enough to take care of these little guys when they grow up, ahem..." The old man had pretended to be indifferent, but suddenly He coughed violently.

An anxious look suddenly appeared on Guo Jia's originally smiling face, and he quickly helped the old man into the house.

"How many times have I told you to go to the hospital to cure this lung disease quickly, why don't you listen to me?"

The old man smiled and waved his hands: "No need, if you have this money, you should buy more food for the children."

Guo Jia's face turned cold, and she took out a stack of banknotes from her bag and threw them on the table: "Is it just a matter of money? I think that in this world, things that can be solved with money are small things. Since it's a small thing, go quickly Get rid of it, how much money do you need to ask me, in case you have any problems, who will take care of these children?"

The old man couldn't resist Guo Jia, so he quickly agreed: "Okay, okay, I'll go to the hospital for an examination tomorrow? Well, actually, I love you even more. Although I don't know how you earn all this money, you are a girl , it is not easy in society? Why do you have to pay so much to help these people who have nothing to do with you?"

"Like I said, the things in this world that can be solved with money are trivial, so don't ask so many questions." Guo Jia didn't answer the old man's question directly, and walked out of the house after speaking, Zheng Jing was already waiting outside the door .

"Is this young man who came with you your boyfriend?" Seeing Zheng Jing, the old man wanted to say hello but didn't know how to say it. He was a little afraid that this young man would dislike them after seeing their environment here. Guo Jia.

"Yeah." Guo Jia nodded, showing a happy smile: "Don't worry, he is a good man."

"Hey, don't send me a good person card." Zheng Jing, whose ideal is to be a big profiteer, put his hands in his pockets and said helplessly to Guo Jia. In front of the old man, he did not deny his relationship with Guo Jia.

"Okay, let's go." Guo Jia came up and took Zheng Jing's hand and left the orphanage. He pulled Zheng Jing to the gate of the orphanage before stopping, as if he had something to say that he didn't want to let the old people in the orphanage As if the children heard it.

"How is it? After reading these, do you have any thoughts?"

"My biggest impression is you, innocent student girl, scammer, philanthropist, and shrewd businessman. I feel like you are a different person every day. Which one is the real you?" Zheng Jing was puzzled. asked.

Guo Jia squeezed out a complicated smile when he heard the words: "Yes, these are just masks I used to disguise. Do you want to ask what the real me is under the mask? Sorry, I don't even remember myself. Now I I will only live in the way I like, do what I like, and pursue what I like. Leaving this aside, don’t you have any other thoughts after you’ve been here?”

Zheng Jing touched his head in confusion, and said, "What else do you think? Do you want me to help those children? Of course I would, but I don't think they are short of money. You have already done it." Very nice."

Guo Jia lowered her head: "Yeah, money is really a good thing. As long as you have money, these unfortunate children can live happily, and you can buy everything they want with money. However, in this world There are still too many things that money can't buy, like, their health."

"Are those children's diseases difficult to treat?"

Guo Jia nodded: "No parent will abandon their own flesh and blood for no reason. The reason why these children become orphans is that most of them are born with some kind of congenital defect. The level is very difficult to cure."

Suddenly, Guo Jia raised his head and looked into Zheng Jing's eyes: "Zheng Jing, you already have a very strong ability, don't you ever think about using your ability to change the world?"

"Do you mean……"

"For example, medical technology. There are too many people in this world who have lost their happiness due to disease. The root cause of all this is that the medical level of the earth cannot cure their diseases. But you have channels to obtain resources from other worlds. If you introduce medical technology with advanced technology and civilization through your channels, can you cure all the patients on the earth? This is more meaningful than making more money, have you never considered it?"

It is not difficult for Zheng Jing to introduce technology from other worlds and improve the medical level of the earth.

However, facing Guo Jia's expectant eyes, Zheng Jing shook his head decisively: "I'm sorry, I can't do this, at least not now."

"Why!?" Guo Jia shouted excitedly.

"It's very simple. If you think about the power that humans have now, they can fly in the sky, swim in the sea, launch spaceships into outer space, and even control the weather on the earth. Even the legendary gods may not have such power. powerful ability?

However, the human civilization with such incredible power is very stable, without chaos, without being destroyed by the destructive weapons created by itself, and without falling into irrational pursuit of some unrealistic goals.Because this is the result of gradual and gradual development from generation to generation. If nuclear missiles, fighter jets and other weapons were handed over to barbarians in the Stone Age, I am afraid that human beings would have already evolved before they evolved to what we are now. Because cannibalism is completely extinct.This is the rule of evolution, breaking it easily can only lead to many unpredictable and dire consequences. "

"Cut." Guo Jia pouted unhappily: "Are you saying so much because you are afraid that breaking the stability of this world will have an adverse effect on your own interests? I am not an outsider. If you only want to protect Your own interests don't need to make up such hypocritical reasons with me, selfish."

Zheng Jing shrugged: "I am indeed a selfish ghost. No matter how you think about it, the chaos caused by changing the world is not beneficial to me. Why should I do this?"

"Ahhhhhhh, I've had enough. Do you have a boyfriend like this? If you don't do it, don't do it, and you won't say something nice to comfort me. Hmph, I don't care about you." Guo Jia lost her temper. , turned around and was about to leave, Zheng Jing quickly stopped her.

"Hey, I just said that I won't change the world for the time being. I didn't say I won't help you save these children? If I just change the fate of some people around me, I can still do it."

Guo Jia opened her eyes wide again excitedly: "Really?"

Zheng Jing took a sage's stone in his hand, smiled and nodded to Guo Jia: "Of course, it's just a little effort, let's prepare first."

"En!" Guo Jia nodded happily, and ran back to the orphanage, leaving Zheng Jing with a satisfied smile looking at the Philosopher's Stone in his hand.

Killing people from other worlds to refine the Philosopher's Stone, but using it to treat people on Earth is indeed an extremely selfish behavior, but Zheng Jing never dislikes such selfishness.
