The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human? Chapter 870 - 581: Three Shovelfuls of Strength (2)

"Wait."

Doctor dical Bee called out to him.

"Sorry. Alright?"

It said reluctantly.

"Alright."

He hadn’t expected Doctor dical Bee to be very sincere anyway.

"Take a look at this."

Liu Zheng took out the nerve ganglion of the Erakos Sand Worm.

"This is... ’spice’!"

Doctor dical Bee quickly recognized the orb and exclaid excitedly.

"That’s right."

He nodded.

"My god, how did you get this thing?"

"I encountered it on my way to deliver takeout outside the city."

Liu Zheng briefly explained his encounter with the Erakos Sand Worm.

"Are you serious?"

Doctor dical Bee said incredulously.

"Do I have any reason to lie to you? I even let the City Hall people recover the body."

"Then you’re really lucky."

Doctor dical Bee was both envious and jealous.

It’s already fortunate to encounter the Erakos Sand Worm, let alone outside the Great Desert. The expression ’pie falling from the sky’ doesn’t quite cover it.

"I have always been lucky."

He admitted frankly.

"How many nerve ganglions did you get in total?"

Doctor dical Bee asked.

"That’s not sothing you should be concerned about. Are you buying? If not, I’ll go find soone else."

Liu Zheng said.

"Buy. How about two million?"

Doctor dical Bee offered a price.

"Are you joking, Doctor dical Bee? Even those unknown origin ’spices’ cost more than this, let alone mine with a clear origin and City Hall endorsent."

"If you think I’m so country bumpkin who’s never seen the world, then you’re wrong. I’m not short of money; I’m selling it to you hoping you can do a favor."

He took out all the money and casually tossed it onto the ground.

"Gulp!"

Seeing piles of hundred-dollar bills on the ground, Doctor dical Bee swallowed.

"What favor?"

It asked cautiously.

Using ’spice’ to request help surely wouldn’t be a simple matter.

"My subordinate, the Minotaur who ca to get dicine last ti, accidentally ingested Sand Worm Blood; I want to ask if you have a solution."

Liu Zheng said.

"You’ve asked the right person."

Doctor dical Bee breathed a sigh of relief and then said confidently.

"Oh?"

"I’ve recently developed a set of addiction treatnt thodologies that can achieve a complete cure."

Doctor dical Bee said.

"Are there any side effects?"

He asked.

In the tropolis, it’s not unheard of for addiction to be cured at the expense of life.

"Yes, the side effect is the treatnt is extrely expensive. The principle of this thod is first making the patient addicted to another substance, and once the original addiction is fully covered, the addiction to this substance turns into aversion, thus curing the patient’s addiction."

Doctor dical Bee explained its new treatnt thod.

"Using poison to counter poison, right?"

"Correct. The addiction from Erakos Sand Worm Blood is very strong, so the covering cycle will be long. The initial estimated cost is at least over two million."

Doctor dical Bee calculated.

"Has your dication undergone clinical trials?"

Liu Zheng asked.

In real drug developnt processes, there are stages like target screening, compound optimization, synthesis process developnt, pharmacokinetics study, safety, and toxicology evaluation, phase 1 to 3 clinical trials, approval, and post-market monitoring.

He’s not expecting Doctor dical Bee to follow all processes, just clinical trials would be quite rigorous.

"Of course, I’m not one of those who mix up so pills and dare to call them new dicine. I’ve conducted clinical trials with over a hundred subjects."

Doctor dical Bee said proudly.

The standard number of subjects for phase one clinical trial is around 20 to 100.

"Last ti, you asked to introduce so sources; you weren’t planning to use them for clinical trials, were you?"

Liu Zheng frowned.

"Exactly."

Doctor dical Bee admitted without hesitation.

"...Are you sure this dication is safe?"

After a mont of indecision, he decided to pretend not to hear it.

The tropolis is notorious for disregarding human lives; he couldn’t control it or see that far.

"In my trials, there were no Minotaurs, so I can’t guarantee 100% safety; we’ll have to address issues as they arise."

Doctor dical Bee asked cautiously.

"Then, please wait a mont."

Liu Zheng returned to the carriage.

"Colonel, what do you think?"

He asked.

"Its approach sounds more scientific. The thod I know can eradicate too but causes significant physical and ntal harm to those treated, and those who don’t survive die. Of course, the cost is much lower."

The Driver replied.

"Then I should try this one."

Liu Zheng said.

At least, for his first and only henchman, the treatnt should be as good as possible.

"I forgot to make one thing clear to you earlier."

Returning to the front door, he inford Doctor dical Bee that the nerve ganglion might produce less ’spice’ than expected.

"I have two plans, see which one you can accept."

"First plan, this nerve ganglion is priced at three million; deduct two million for the treatnt cost of my subordinate, and you pay one million."

"Second plan, I directly pay you two million for the treatnt cost, and I sell the nerve ganglion elsewhere."

Liu Zheng said.

"I knew no one’s luck would be that good."

Strangely, Doctor dical Bee seed a bit happy hearing this outco.

"But even though you told this nerve ganglion has issues, selling it to for three million is a bit excessive, don’t you think?"

Despite being happy, bargaining was still necessary.

"Three million is the price Doctor Nile asked to sell it for on his behalf; you could easily sell it for five million in the market."

Liu Zheng said.

"That’s what you say, but there’s always risk involved."

Doctor dical Bee emphasized.

If the final ’spice’ amount produced is too low, buyers will surely trouble it.

"With plan one, you can earn at least three million; if you aren’t willing to take on this risk, I can take it instead."

Liu Zheng said calmly.

"...Alright, for the sake of that old Mummy, I’ll take a hit and choose plan one."

After a brief silence, Doctor dical Bee compromised as expected.

"Let’s sign a contract then."

For situations affecting soone’s life safety, signing a contract is more secure.

Liu Zheng took out a pen and paper, quickly drafting two contracts.

He studied law in college, interned at a law firm too, so simple contracts were within his skillset.

Doctor dical Bee didn’t refuse either; it extended one forelimb through the door gap to take the contract.

"Okay, no problem."

After verifying the contents, it signed its na, returning one copy to Liu Zheng.

"When does the treatnt start?"

After exchanging money and goods, Liu Zheng asked.

"I need to do a physical evaluation for the Minotaur first to customize the treatnt plan."

Doctor dical Bee replied.

"Alright, I’ll have it co over."

He nodded.

So far, Doctor dical Bee seed relatively trustworthy.

He’d done everything he could; now it’s up to Niu Daji’s luck.

Leaving the alley, Liu Zheng headed to Academic Residence.

Making a call, the deputy director soon brought out the nightingale and the others.

"Aren’t you sick? Why co down personally? You’re way too polite."

He looked at the faltering deputy director and complained.

"No worries, I happen to be on my way to visit the Clinic Liu ntioned. Li Ziming, quickly greet Mr. Liu."

The deputy director said to his son.

"Hello, Mr. Liu!"

The boy, looking robust and tiger-headed, wearing a sports uniform, shouted loudly.

Behind him, four students in suit-like uniforms followed, three boys and a girl, seemingly all human.

At this mont, they were sizing up Liu Zheng, their eyes filled with curiosity.

"Alright, let lay down the rules before we set off: listen to nightingale teacher in all things. If anyone dares to be naughty, considering Li Ziming’s father’s position, execution is off the table but punishnt is not.

If soone wants to feed the fish, I’ll let them feed the fish; if they want to eat poop, I’ll let them eat poop; if they want nothing, I’ll let them go for a grand slam. Trust , that experience won’t be much better than death."

"Don’t think you’re so big shot at school or your parents are almighty."

"Even people way mightier than them, I’ve killed as routinely as turning the page."

"If you don’t believe , you can ask Li Ziming’s father."

"Nightingale, take them away."

Liu Zheng said with a stern face.

"Yes, Master."

Nightingale complied, then took a shivering group of rich kids to the underground parking garage.
