Chapter 1362: Chapter 1224: A Dramatic Coincidence Chapter 1362: Chapter 1224: A Dramatic Coincidence “`
Not only did Lincoln not come forward to explain, officials showed no intention of explaining either.
Neither the news that evening nor the news at eight o’clock the next day mentioned this major technological breakthrough at all.
The discussion on this matter wasn’t restricted in any way, leaving netizens to discuss it amongst themselves.
The only time a statement was made was when the Ministry of Health issued a notice:
The new medical device—[Hibernation Cabin] would soon expand its pilot scale to cover all provincial capital cities within one month, with the aim to make it available to all qualified public hospitals within one year.
The purpose of this notice was very simple: to placate patients and their families, so that they wouldn’t all rush to Xiajing City in a frenzy.
These few hospitals wouldn’t be able to handle it.
But obviously, the notice had little effect.
Seeing the constant emergence of hibernators online, what patient or family member had the patience to wait?
If the patient’s condition hadn’t deteriorated to the point of immobility, families did everything they could to rush to Xiajing City, for fear that the hibernation cabins might run out or policies might change, missing this only chance.
It wasn’t just Daxia’s patients; many overseas patients with the means were also trying every possible way to come to Xiajing City in search of a chance at life.
Embassies were overwhelmed, the volume of medical visas issued skyrocketed, exceeding the total of the past two months in just two days, and there was still a long line each day, with no signs of decreasing.
—Even though the officials issuing visas had clearly informed: at this stage, hibernation surgery would not be conducted for non-Daxia citizens, it did nothing to quell their enthusiasm.

If “at this stage” it wasn’t possible, does that mean it could be later?
So, they must head to Daxia as soon as possible!
Only by doing so, when the policy changes, would there be a chance to seize the opportunity!
Their determination was unwavering.

Compared to the bustle at the embassies, the atmosphere in the media and online was even more explosive.
Unlike the harmonious discussion environment in Daxia, the atmosphere on the overseas Internet was quite explosive from the start.
Especially in America, behind the façade of universal free healthcare, there were long waiting times and steep medical bills.
They weren’t as optimistic as Daxia netizens.
On the contrary, they were extremely pessimistic—because they had no trust in their own country’s officials and conglomerates.
A glance at overseas social networking showed topics filled with “poor die early, rich live long,” “heavier bloodsucking by capitalists,” and “stockpiling guns.”
The tense atmosphere brewed throughout the day, gradually reaching its peak.
Then, an even more explosive rumor was spread—
This Friday, there would be a hibernation quota auction exclusively open to the wealthy and nobles!
The already highly tense netizens, upon hearing this news, snapped on the spot.
They were furious but didn’t know whom to vent on, ultimately directing their anger toward the government, demanding action from officials!
Many politicians had to consider how they could take a stand that would not only secure votes but also not offend their patrons and backers, and they were at their wits’ end.
Just like that, Erman quietly completed the task assigned by the boss, keeping a low profile while continuing to prepare for the auction.
…
The influence was not only limited to Western netizens; the rest of the global Internet, particularly the Eastern Hemisphere, was also abuzz.
Unlike the West, the buzz here manifested as vassal states showing loyalty to their suzerain.
Hoping that after the widespread adoption of hibernation tech within Daxia Country, this “medical device” would be promptly introduced to their own countries as well.
Of course, those with more money and wider connections couldn’t wait; one by one, they rushed to Daxia to find connections, eager to have the surgery as soon as possible.
“`
But they clearly couldn’t cut into this queue.
Daxia people still had to wait in line honestly!
…
Of course, if one found the right connections, it wasn’t truly impossible to bypass the queue.
Just like now—
Lincoln took out his mobile phone and saw that the message was from Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng was the person in charge of “Battlefield,” and since taking over, he had been responsible and done a good job—evidence being that he hadn’t gotten any hot searches from players complaining, not once giving Lincoln any post-mishap worries.
And the reason he was messaging now was—
“What’s up?
Any emergencies?” Randall asked.
“Nothing major.” Lincoln shook his head, “Jiang Feng’s grandfather is quite old and isn’t in good health, can’t even get out of bed.

His grandmother, on the other hand, is still robust.
The family wants to put the old man in hibernation for a while.
But though his health isn’t good, it’s not exactly a terminal condition, and with the waiting list for hibernation surgery stretching into the thousands, they asked if I could help out.”
“Can you help?” Randall asked.
“What are you talking about?” Lincoln said, his head full of question marks, “Can I not help our own people?”
“There’s no need to cut into the hospital queue, just finish up here first and I’ll find someone to arrange it later.”
“Later, I’ll also post an announcement at the company to see if anyone else needs help; if so, I’ll arrange it all at once.”
The limited edition game cabin already had the hibernation feature, Cloud Dream could do it by themselves, and they really weren’t lacking in that regard.
“Okay,” Randall reassured, and turned his head back to look at Little Chun chatting with her parents.
Lincoln, Mavis, and Princess had once again come to the home of Randall and Little Chun.
The two had finished their matters and explained the situation to their family.
At first, the family couldn’t believe it, but they soon saw a plethora of related news online and couldn’t help but believe in such a miraculous thing.
A whole family huddled around their mobile phones, learning about the situation of other hibernators overnight, discovering that even after hibernation, they could still live in the virtual world and even come to visit their family at home—just by doing a mixed reality transformation on the house and putting on a headband.
It wasn’t too different from the current situation, so they quickly accepted it.
But to be sure, they still came to Xiajing City together, to accompany their daughter through the surgery.
They didn’t need to go to the hospital; Lincoln had arranged all the preparatory work for the surgery, and of course, having a few more people present wasn’t a problem.
Little Chun and her parents waved their hands, signaling her parents not to worry, and then she lay down in the hibernation cabin with a smile.
The transparent cabin lid slowly closed, and Little Chun gradually closed her eyes.
Everything was ready.
Hibernation was about to begin.
But at that moment, Randall’s mobile phone suddenly started vibrating.
He took it out intending to turn it off.
But the next second, Little Chun’s mobile phone also began to vibrate.
A few steps away, Lincoln’s mobile phone vibrated as well.
Everyone was shocked, thinking something had gone wrong with Cloud Dream, and they all picked up their phones.
Even Little Chun, lying in the hibernation cabin, opened her eyes and the lid to check her phone.
Then, the three of them were stunned in place simultaneously.
They looked up at each other, and in each other’s eyes, they saw astonishment.
News came from the Wu Research Institute for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis about the special effect medicine—
The development of the special effect medicine might have succeeded.
