My Right Hand Allows Me to Merge Thousands of Races-Chapter 94 - 83: Unexpected Incident, Plans Disrupted
...
"Didn’t you say you’d come back for lunch after school? Where did you go off to this time?"
Auntie glared at him fiercely and chided, "One day you’re here, the next you’re gone without a trace. You don’t even come back to sleep or eat... Have you found another family outside?"
She suspected her nephew had moved in with that female classmate he mentioned last time, set up a new household, and started living together.
Given Lu Xun’s "precocious" nature, this was a real possibility!
This definitely needed to be clarified.
If her nephew really "split from the family" and started his own, that’s not unacceptable... She planned to clean out his bedroom and turn it into a pet room for a dog.
"Ahem~" Lu Xun rubbed his nose, "Don’t talk nonsense, I’m not an adult yet. I’ve been busy with some stuff lately. Don’t worry, it won’t happen again next time."
"That’s what you said last time." Auntie rolled her eyes.
Lu Xun blinked and fell silent.
She crossed her arms over her chest, looking sternly at her nephew for a few seconds, but seeing his indifferent attitude, her authority as the head of the family had no effect on him.
Auntie could only sigh, put away her stance, and helplessly waved her hand:
"Fine, as long as you know what you’re doing. I’m going to work... Remember to come back for dinner!"
"Okay!"
In any case, Lu Xun had skipped school, so before the evening action started, he was staying home obediently and going nowhere.
After Auntie left.
He went to the hospital again to greet his uncle.
"Uncle, I heard the bio-bionic body has already arrived?" Lu Xun pulled up a chair and sat in front of the camera and display screen.
[Yes, it arrived in Jinghai this morning. Your aunt has already signed for it and sent it to that private hospital we contacted earlier. Starting tomorrow, I’ll be moving to the hospital to stay and wait for the surgery.] — Xie Zhenhai typed out a line on the display screen.
"Understood." Lu Xun nodded, "Then I won’t go to school tomorrow either; I’ll accompany you for a visit to the hospital."
[It’s actually not that troublesome. Your aunt will be there to take care of me, and it’ll just be you and Xiao Yu at home. For the next month, you’ll need to handle meals yourselves... If you can’t, just order takeout.] — Xie Zhenhai continued typing.
"Order takeout? Don’t worry, cooking is no big deal, easy-peasy." Lu Xun confidently patted his chest, "I promise I’ll have Xie Manyu well-fed and chubby this month!"
[Chubby... Are you raising pigs? Don’t talk about your sister like that (#`O′).]
"Haha!"

This was a major surgery to "change the body," where the doctor needed to inspect and adjust the performance and systems of the prosthetic body, then tailor the surgical plan to match the patient’s individual physical condition.
The private prosthetic body hospital wasn’t owned by Jinghai City itself; it had the backing of a Fifth-level Self-looping City, held an excellent reputation, and was very reliable... just a bit expensive.
Initially, Auntie worried there might be problems. After all, the six-million-yuan prosthetic body was acquired through an agent, and not ordered in her personal name. Would the hospital scrutinize the source? Would they refuse to arrange the surgery?
But as it turned out, she was overthinking it.
No questions asked; as long as you had the money, they arranged it immediately!
There were no issues before the surgery.
The real issue lay after the surgery.
Although relatives of the Xie Family had stopped visiting in recent years, and even broke ties voluntarily due to inconvenience, Xie Zhenhai’s sudden "revival" was bound to raise suspicion.
There was no clear source for a six-million-yuan prosthetic body.
If no one reports it, there’s no problem; just worried that busybodies might stir up trouble.
If reported, an investigation would follow.
So Lu Xun’s plan was simple — relocate!!
The Outer City District is large, with 88 districts, each equivalent to a city within a city.
Move to any new place, where no one knows you, and as long as Xie Zhenhai keeps a low profile, it should be fine.
He planned to discuss with Auntie soon to finalize the moving plans.
... Unfortunately, they were all commoners and couldn’t move to the Inner City District, which would have been safer.
Inner City Districts 1-14 were where the "top-tier" people lived, with the best living conditions, security, and educational resources.
You must become an elite to qualify to own property in the Inner City District and have the means to send children to elite schools.
But achieving class mobility, how difficult is that?
Only when the value you’ve created exceeds 97% of Jinghai City’s citizens can you become an elite, a "top-tier" person.
Lu Xun is determined to become an elite and take his family to the Inner City District to live; this has always been his goal.
Speaking of which, it seems he’s about to turn 18 soon.
Previously restricted, he couldn’t showcase the abilities of the "All-Knowing Right Hand" too much.
But once he becomes an adult, he can boldly and freely expand his activities.
"Uncle, I remember you saying you were close to becoming an ’elite’ back then?" Lu Xun suddenly asked.
[Yes... Three years ago, I was only 32 and had accumulated over 1.3 million contribution points, so I wasn’t far off.] — Xie Zhenhai reminisced with some regret.
The promotion standard was always set by the artificial intelligence "0c."
Although it doesn’t have life, it possesses very advanced logical thinking;
Without "self-awareness," there’s no concept of "I," no selfishness, no emotions.
For artificial intelligence, commands supersede everything, dealing with civilians with absolute objectivity and rationality.
0c can formulate the best urban development plan.
The promotion standard varies each year; last year, it required 2.1 million contributions to get promoted, but this year it dropped to 1.9 million.
