Chapter 12 Mechanical Prosthetics
Although he was a little panicked, Chen Fan still tried his best to stay calm.

He raised his head and stared intently at the strong man standing in front of him, who was a head taller than him.

"good."

There was a bit of surprise in the strong man's eyes, and the sneer on his face also diminished a lot: "I originally thought that the Chosen Ones were all cowards who bullied the weak and feared the strong."

"I didn't expect that there would be someone like you among this group of chosen ones. It's interesting..."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."

The strong man laughed, and at the same time reached out and patted Chen Fan on the shoulder without respect: "After all, he is the chosen one by God. We ordinary people should still be more respectful."

The next second, the smile on his face quickly faded, and at the same time he leaned down and put his head in front of Chen Fan.

"Boy."

"You are God's Chosen One, and I'm going to give you some face today."

"But don't forget, the Divine Selection Ceremony will be in one month, and then you will go to the Kingdom of God to serve the gods."

"Those chosen by God have never come back from the Kingdom of God before!"

"You can protect them for a while, but you can't protect them for a lifetime!!"

After saying that, with a somewhat disdainful sneer on his face, the strong man pushed Chen Fan aside and left the room in a swaggering manner.

Looking at the strong man's leaving figure, Chen Fan's expression turned ugly.

From the few words of this strong man, he could already confirm that the information recorded in the original owner's notes was basically true!
There is no doubt that this directly shattered the only expectation in his heart! !

……

“Lord, thank you for your messenger’s help…”

A middle-aged woman's voice came from the statue behind her.

After noticing Chen Fan's gaze, the middle-aged woman carefully stood up from the futon and thanked Chen Fan: "Sir, thank you..."

"He hasn't done anything substantial, so why thank him?"

A cold female voice suddenly sounded, interrupting the middle-aged woman's unfinished words: "Don't forget, delaying for another month means you have to pay one more month of interest!"

"When the time comes that he turns back to serve the gods, what are you going to do?"

"Are you really going to transfer Xiaowen's arm to those rats?"

Hearing this, Chen Fan couldn't help but froze on the spot.

Is it a disservice to leave him alone? !
"Xu Huai!" The middle-aged woman quickly glanced at Chen Fan and shouted anxiously, "How can you talk to the Chosen One like this?"

"you……"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Huai stood up and left the room.

The moment he passed by Chen Fan, Xu Huai snorted angrily.

Looking at the figure that quickly disappeared in the corridor, Chen Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

As recorded in the original owner's notes, Xu Huai was not like other neighbors. She even disliked Chen Fan, who was the Chosen One.

At the same time, the chatter of the neighbors who were joining in the fun came from outside the door.

The content of the discussion can be imagined. It is nothing more than that Xu Huai's behavior is disrespectful to the gods.

Chen Fan didn't want to pay attention to these gossips, but a sentence in the discussion quickly caught his attention: "This Xu Huai usually just throws the statues on the ground, but he didn't expect that he has such an attitude towards the Chosen One now. …”

Thinking of the statue he had seen placed randomly on the ground before, Chen Fan's expression became serious.

It's understandable that you have a bad attitude towards him. After all, he is not rich and can be loved by everyone.

But if the attitude toward gods is the same...then it's worthy of careful consideration!
In an instant, Chen Fan had already made a decision in his heart.

We have to find a way to get in touch with Xu Huai!
Maybe she knows something about the truth of this world!

Seeing the strange look on Chen Fan's face, the misunderstood middle-aged woman hurriedly spoke and tried to defend Xu Huai:
"Sir, don't take it to heart, Xu Huai has always been like this..."

Chen Fan smiled and waved his hand, interrupting the middle-aged woman: "Aunt Shen, let's not talk about Sister Huai. Let's talk about you. What's going on?"

As he spoke, Chen Fan turned his attention to the little boy next to him whose eyes were still red.

To be more precise, it was the little boy's mechanical prosthetic limb that was far more dexterous than Chen Fan's knowledge!

The middle-aged woman let out a long sigh, stretched out her arms to hold the little boy in her arms, and explained in a low voice with a gloomy expression.

"Things start from last year..."

"Xiaowen, this kid, has had problems with his right hand since he was a child. You should know that."

Chen Fan didn't speak, just nodded silently.

"In the past few years, I have been praying to the Lord in church, praying that the Lord would one day send a miracle, but... the Lord has not responded to my request."

“Until last year!”

“After a prayer, a church deacon approached me.”

The middle-aged woman had a hopeful smile on her face: "He told me that the Lord was moved by my sincerity and was willing to send a miracle to help Xiao Wen recover his disabled right hand."

Hearing this, Chen Fan's expression suddenly changed.

Mechanical prosthetics are indeed inseparable from the so-called gods!

This means...

[It has been possible to make a preliminary judgment. The god worshiped by this abnormal civilization is most likely a technological civilization that has mastered more advanced technology. 】

A voice sounded in Chen Fan's mind: [Interfering without authorization with the development of lower-level civilizations, while using theology to enslave individuals of lower-level civilizations, is a serious illegal act in the Human Federation! 】

Different from the usual playful voice, this time, Yi's electronic synthesized voice was full of seriousness.

[Chen Fan, look for an opportunity to touch the mechanical prosthesis on the little boy's hand. This machine needs to make a simple estimate of the technical level of this technological civilization. 】

Chen Fan agreed to Yi's request in his heart and once again turned his attention to the finely crafted mechanical prosthetic limb.

The middle-aged woman who was immersed in memories did not notice Chen Fan's strange behavior. She continued to narrate in a low voice: "It's just... the deacon told me that the church needs me to donate 10,000 gold coins free of charge to prove that I Loyalty to the Lord.”

"I couldn't come up with so many gold coins at the same time. After several pieces of work, I was still short of 2139 gold coins."

"Seeing that the day of blessing mentioned by the deacon was getting closer and closer, I had no choice but to take a desperate risk and borrow the last sum of money from them."

"Borrowing money requires collateral, and I couldn't provide the collateral they wanted."

"Just when I was desperate, Gao Li came to me and said that I could use the God-given things Xiaowen would get in the future as collateral."

The middle-aged woman seemed to have thought of something, and added again: "Oh, by the way, Gao Li is the person who came to collect debts just now."

Chen Fan's eyes suddenly showed a look of enlightenment.

Although the middle-aged woman did not go into details, at this time, he could actually guess a little bit about the subsequent development of the incident based on his previous life experience.

It was just that it was too late to repay the debt, which caused the interest to pile up, and finally led to this bitter fruit.

According to what Gao Li said before leaving, there are no relevant laws and regulations in this world to prohibit these illegal private loans. On the contrary, the church will even guarantee these loans.

In addition, the "validity period" of the God's Chosen One status is only one month, and the whole thing has almost become a dead end!
only……

In Chen Fan's view, there seems to be a huge problem hidden in this matter.
