Chapter 1794: Chapter 1794: Those Who Know When to Yield
Dr. Deng’s expression shifted several tis under Xu Huo’s impassive gaze, finally settling on anxiety. He cautiously asked, "You’re joking, right?"
After a long two seconds, Xu Huo’s expression relaxed slightly, with a hint of a smile, saying, "I am indeed joking now, but please don’t make
feel like this nearly billion White Notes were spent unjustly."
Building the laboratory itself didn’t cost much; however, the large dical equipnt Dr. Deng requires for potion research, especially the Perfect Potion, is very expensive. This isn’t sothing that a few machines can solve; it requires incredibly precise material separation devices usually unavailable in regular districts. They can only be purchased through official channels at Advanced Wormhole Sites, and they must be bought as complete sets. Wanting to purchase just the most important one and assemble the rest yourself? Sorry, that’s impossible.
What we bought was an older model.
However, considering the other necessary equipnt and the laboratory construction, the total cost isn’t particularly high, especially since the water purifier Xu Huo acquired from an instance was sold for the sa price.
"Water purifiers are different," Dr. Deng said, "Don’t be fooled by the Ga Governnt’s propaganda that long-term use of self-made water purifier products will cause premature degeneration; the player’s degeneration is probably related to the environnt."
"The Ga Governnt hasn’t produced a Perfect Potion yet, possibly due to this reason."
He sighed, "Sotis I feel this might be the evolutionary rule. If taking large doses of Evolution Potion has no side effects, then this world would be terrifying."
"You an degeneration is like an incurable disease; when a person lives long enough, toxins accumulate in the body to a certain extent, leading to mutation," Xu Huo said.
"Sothing like that," Dr. Deng responded, "But the Ga Governnt’s water purifier can filter most impurities from the air, but it’s unlikely it can completely remove unstable factors from the environnt. If that were fully researched, there wouldn’t be the current potion bottleneck."
"At least before I left, there were still issues with the latest evolution potion trials announced by the Ga Governnt."
"You know insider information like this?" Xu Huo raised an eyebrow, "I rember you were dismissed."
"Who doesn’t have a few friends?" Dr. Deng quickly waved his hand, indicating he didn’t want to continue the discussion.
Over such a long ti, he ntioned only his dismissal from Stellar dical for lack of contributions and dissatisfaction with so of their dical experints, along with a docunt related to the Perfect Potion, not revealing much else, and occasionally ntioned details were often nonsense.
As for the docunt he had regarding the Perfect Potion, it wasn’t much, and Xu Huo has already obtained the P4S version of the Perfect Potion, so there’s no urgent need for the potion, though he believes Dr. Deng might have more information.
"By the way, the Perfect Potion I gave you before..."
Before finishing, Dr. Deng hastily interrupted him, "You really can’t bla
for that. How many experints can be done with such a small potion? Let alone developing a better version unless Dr. Wu were here..."
"But don’t worry; you’re still young, far from degeneration, and with technology advancing rapidly, there’ll surely be a solution for degeneration!"
Xu Huo snorted, indifferent to his empty reassurance, "So you’re saying you wasted a dose of Perfect Potion?"
Dr. Deng murmured, "How can dical research be called waste..."
Xu Huo didn’t pursue the whereabouts of the potion but left so room, saying, "You better make
feel the effort wasn’t wasted."
Dr. Deng glanced at his expression, swallowing back the words "it would be nice to get more Perfect Potions." But he quickly perked up, showcasing his latest antitoxin, specifically developed to tackle the pathogen on Yuguo’s severed hand, "Although it can’t completely eradicate the pathogen and pollutants, it can slow down the infection, buying rescue ti."
To be fair, Hugo Pathogen wasn’t the highest-level contaminant Xu Huo has encountered, but it has the fewest requirents for spreading; it can grow quickly even under harsh conditions. So advanced antitoxins aren’t ineffective; they just aren’t faster than the pathogen’s growth rate, causing death before complete pathogen elimination.
"In the ga, antitoxins aren’t finely categorized. As long as you’re not hit by particularly tricky pollutants or toxins, the more advanced the antitoxin, the better it works. Advanced antitoxins can kill pathogens, viruses, and disrupt toxic proteins, and they activate the body, making the immune system more active to self-rescue."
"Of course, ordinary people can’t withstand this activation, but players can, maybe without even noticing it."
"There’s no significant need to focus on developing antitoxins specifically for highly contagious contaminants. Like the toxic fungus you brought back; many are highly reproductive, and once parasitic on the human body, they are difficult to eradicate. Developing specific potions for each would consu unknown resources, with very few beneficiaries."
"You just need to buy good antitoxins to move freely in the ga."
Dr. Deng thought Xu Huo’s insistence on pollutants-specific antitoxins was unnecessary.
"Very few beneficiaries?" Xu Huo paused and continued, "That’s true; by the ti a potion is developed, most people would be dead, indeed very few."
"But what you said makes sense."
He adjusted his posture, turning to face Dr. Deng, "You made no progress on the Perfect Potion, yielded no results on toxic fungus, and feel dedicated antitoxins are unnecessary; now I think this laboratory isn’t necessary either..."
"I think it’s very necessary!" Dr. Deng said earnestly, "You’re right; even saving one person has research value. For the new contaminant you handed to , I will develop a targeted antitoxin!"
"Don’t overexert yourself," Xu Huo said calmly.
"Not at all," Dr. Deng adjusted his clothes, "I am also a dical doctor, and I respect all life."
"Make more of such antitoxins if needed, tell Mr. Dong," Xu Huo said as he left the laboratory.
After leaving, he felt unhappy and, seeing the Girl in the painting and Xiao Yuan playing on the first floor, went upstairs to see ng Cun.
ng Cun’s head had decreased considerably in swelling, apart from the required daily treatnts; otherwise, he was temporarily free from the equipnt.
"How is your rest?" Xu Huo asked.
"Very good," ng Cun put down the book he was holding, "I think I can increase my daily workload."
