Chapter 379: Chapter 378 Weird Taste
The female physician, Carly, was very insistent on observing. Li Ang exchanged looks with his teammates and didn’t outright refuse her.
After they moved to a small room and sat down, the presence of an outsider kept the other teammates from speaking, and silence fell over the room.
Li Ang glanced at Dr. Carly and noticed that she and her assistant were preparing to take notes of the conversation with pen and paper.
She probably feared these Eastern Monks might pull so tricks.
Li Ang didn’t mind at all and calmly discussed Princess Anna’s current situation with his teammates.
Congenital heart disease is a type of congenital malformation. It refers to the abnormal developnt of the heart and major blood vessels during the embryonic stage and can be broadly classified into two types: cyanotic and acyanotic. The judging criterion is that cyanotic patients have bluish lips and fingernails. The latter type is less difficult to cure.
Following the recent examination, Li Ang determined Princess Anna had the acyanotic type, specifically a ventricular septal defect, pulmonary stenosis, and aortic coarctation.
His teammates, lacking dical experience in the real world, listened with confused expressions. John Joyce, who knew so first aid, tentatively asked, "Is the situation very serious?"
Li Ang spread his hands, saying indifferently, "To put it bluntly, any one of these conditions could be fatal. Princess Anna has survived this long purely due to luck and potent magic potions. But now, the complications are becoming almost unmanageable."
Dr. Carly, observing from the side, silently noted sothing. In fact, they were not completely unaware of Princess Anna’s condition.
Spellcasters in the Fairy World had, to so extent, compensated for the slow developnt of surgical procedures. They allowed physicians to use Spiritual Sense to scout and create an accurate image of Princess Anna’s heart without invasive surgery.
By combining these observations with autopsy case studies of healthy death row inmates, they had identified the abnormalities in Princess Anna’s heart.
However, knowing the cause did not an they could find a solution.
Even on Earth, the developnt of cardiac surgery was extrely challenging. The Austrian physician Theodore Billroth, known as the "father of surgery," once famously stated, "Performing surgery on the heart is a blasphemy against the art of surgery," believing the heart to be God’s domain, which humans could not defy.
John Joyce thought for a mont then softly asked, "So, is there a treatnt plan?"
Li Ang pondered for a mont and then slowly began, "ラースーゼンデニュウピー."
???
Everyone, including Dr. Carly, looked bewildered.
The sentence Li Ang had just spoken was in Japanese kana. However, it wasn’t Japanese at all. To be precise, he was using Japanese kana (a phonetic script) as phonetic symbols. What it actually ant in Chinese was, "That’s damn impressive."
Li Ang had discovered early on that the Killing Field Ga System’s translation function was exceptionally comprehensive and powerful. It could accurately translate slang, idioms, and proverbs to the natives of the scenario world, preserving their original flavor.
However, this translation system also had its drawbacks. If players deliberately played with words, mixing multiple languages and even modern internet slang, it would greatly increase the difficulty for the natives to understand.
For instance, Li Ang was now using phonetic scripts like Japanese kana, Korean Hangul, and Russian Cyrillic as if they were Pinyin, adapting them into Chinese, and then speaking them aloud. After translation by the Killing Field Ga System, these words were conveyed to his teammates.
To John Joyce and the others, Li Ang’s words sounded peculiar, full of strange intonations and accents, but they could still discern the general aning with so effort.
To Dr. Carly and the others, however, Li Ang’s words sounded utterly bizarre.
It was like an English listening comprehension test for a college entrance exam: every word was intelligible, yet the overall aning seed jumbled and difficult to decipher.
The first sentence, for example, was the simple "Hello, Li Lei! Hello, Han ii!"
But then the second sentence turned into sothing like, "You castrate under the light, can’t you understand? In Yin City, every month I, add a face to face."
That was more or less the feeling.
What was worse, Li Ang would occasionally mix in phonetic Korean and Russian, then utter it with a Japanese ani-style verbal tic.
His style ca off as sothing like, "Chotto matte! Is there anything wrong with talking like this? Ne, tell ! Sou ka, you already dislike it, such cold-hearted people. Gon nasai, I showed you sothing unpleasant. Ano... perhaps it would be better if people like
just disappeared? Maybe only in the world of ani can true beauty exist, ne, ne, ne?"
The ani-esque vibe in these words was just too strong.
The incessant "ne, ne, ne-ing"...
John Joyce, who had lived in Yin City for so ti, felt so uncomfortable he wanted to stand up and slap Li Ang, scolding him, "Ne, what ’ne’? Are you trying to sing Leehom Wang’s ’Change Myself’ at ?"
One could tell from a single utterance: he was a veteran ani enthusiast.
In any case, as grating as it sounded, Li Ang’s new speaking style was quite effective. The natives of the scenario world were utterly confused, but his teammates could barely understand his aning.
This aning was, roughly, that the current dical capabilities in the scenario world were insufficient for Li Ang to perform such a complex cardiac surgery, even with magic potions and extraordinary materials.
However, if he changed his approach—not performing surgery but instead creating a new heart (i.e., using the Origin of Life)—the difficulty would be significantly lower.
Of course, Li Ang didn’t reveal the existence of the Origin of Life to them. He only ntioned that he would propose a dical plan to Princess Anna in the coming days.
But the operation would require thorough preparation. During this period, the players needed to gather all clues related to the Ice Queen’s Palace and the Magic Mirror.
If it were possible to perform the surgery inside the palace, or to et the Snow Queen in person, that would be ideal.
After settling on their strategy, Li Ang switched back to his normal way of speaking and said to Dr. Carly, "We have a preliminary dical plan that essentially combines the Eastern Mystical Ritual Track with advanced Eastern surgical practices.
It will be implented in stages, through various courses of treatnt, to gradually resolve Her Highness’s heart condition."
"Understood."
Carly nodded. "What can we do to help?"
Li Ang calmly said, "The Eastern Mystical Ritual Track required for the surgery needs a large amount of extraordinary materials. Due to acclimatization differences between East and West, I will write down a list later. You should collect as many similar materials as possible based on this list.
My apprentices will assist you in the selection."
John Joyce and the others had a sudden realization. That list would undoubtedly include demands like "a mirror with Magic Power"—Li Ang intended for the opposing party’s subordinates to actively gather intelligence for them! Moreover, regardless of the surgery’s progress, ninety-nine percent of the collected extraordinary materials would end up in Li Ang’s pocket. After all, the natives of the scenario world had no idea how the so-called Eastern Mystical Ritual Track actually worked.
