The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 446
Episode 446 A new world called slurp slurp (1)
Athlete’s foot is persistent.
Athlete’s foot is more obsessive than a loan shark. Completely eradicating athlete’s foot is more difficult than eradicating cockroaches altogether.
Anyone who has actually suffered from athlete’s foot will sympathize with this. Because really. Because it actually is.
The same was true for Rachiel.
‘ha. ‘I never thought the day would come when I would get athlete’s foot again in my life.’
Even on your own.
“…Phew.”
Rakiel let out a deep sigh as she felt the newly itchy sensation between her toes. And I reminisced about a time in Korea that was quite long ago.
It was at the training camp.
I won(?) athlete’s foot.
At first, I didn’t even know it was athlete’s foot. It just tickled me. Then, the skin between and around my toes began to peel off.
Only then did I realize the seriousness. But there was nothing particularly sharp about it.
‘I went to the medical center and they only gave me red medicine!’
A bad joke?
Absolutely not.
Those who served in the military in the late 90s or early 2000s will know. It was really like that.
Soldiers who came in with a broken body, soldiers with torn teeth, and soldiers with skin diseases all received the same red pill baptism(?) and were sent back to their barracks.
It was the same with myself.
Thanks to this, I had to fight against athlete’s foot from then until the end of my time as a riot police officer.
‘You really did all sorts of things.’
Toe socks were basic. Soaking your feet in vinegar? Of course I tried it. I even tried dipping my feet in ‘Px tablets’ that were sold commercially with a large amount of ‘Px pills’ powder mixed in.
result? A layer of skin on my entire foot was completely dry and peeling off, and I suffered to death.
The athlete’s foot, which did not die after that, naturally disappeared only after returning to society. Because you can enjoy better medical benefits? no. The biggest factor was the change in lifestyle habits.
‘I didn’t have to run around in poorly ventilated walkers all day.’
As I started using various medications, the athlete’s foot disappeared at some point. Of course, it may seem like it ended simply, but it was by no means an easy day.
It was about 6 years after I first got athlete’s foot at the training center that it finally disappeared.
‘It’s still the same now. Athlete’s foot never dies easily. Even if the appropriate environment and treatment are in place, it often takes an enormous amount of time for the athlete’s foot fungus to be completely eradicated. Moreover, if the treatment is completed without killing all the fungi, something even more terrible will happen. ‘You end up suffering from stronger, more resistant athlete’s foot.’
That’s the shittiest part of athlete’s foot treatment.
So it was.
Rachiel wanted to shorten that ‘time’.
‘We need quick research.’
So he deliberately transferred the 3rd prince’s athlete’s foot fungus to his own feet. I won self-infection. And now he is holding a black K-flavored thorn in his trembling right hand.
“….”
ha.
I really don’t like self-basting.
But I can’t help it. Only by accelerating metabolism with these thorns will we be able to quickly test the performance of candidate athlete’s foot drugs. As such, research on antifungal and athlete’s foot eradication ointments will gain momentum.
‘You can’t stay here forever.’
This is all about making the ownership of the newly acquired city legitimate. It was the treatment of the three princes who took charge of it.
Hani’s treatment is quickly completed, ownership of the city is stabilized, and Bomu proudly returns to the imperial capital…
‘I’m just living by sucking honey!’
A beautiful royal life awaits you. Please, I want to live like that. Of course, the Demon King lurking inside of Damian will be a bit of a problem, but you can prepare for that well in the future.
‘So let’s go.’
Rakiel took a deep breath. I made up my mind. He aimed the black K-flavored thorn at his collarbone. And I plugged it in.
Tot!
The thorn got stuck in the hand acupuncture point.
A destructive message that emerges at the same time!
Ding dong!
[You have basted yourself with the black thorns that have the K-taste effect.]
[The hellish pain puts you in a testing moment.]
Kwajak.
I heard a sound like something breaking somewhere inside my body. No, in some ways it sounded like something breaking.
For example, the nerve cord responsible for pain sensation?
‘…gwawawaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa……?
It hurt.
It was incredibly painful.
Sensation disappeared around the area where the thorn had pierced. It hurt. My shoulder disappeared. It hurt. The nape of my neck disappeared. It hurt. My whole body was shaking. It hurt. Like hitting it with a hammer. It hurt. As if being pricked by a red nail. It hurt.
‘crazy!’
No matter when I use it, I cannot get used to the pain from the black thorns. The power of this spicy K-flavor is such that it makes your whole body tremble, gives you goosebumps, and makes all your senses feel as if the top of your head is about to explode!
‘But… let’s think only about the good things.’
I kept my mind clear.
I thought of only beautiful things.
For example, the wealthy life of a person with no disease and long life. Such as a pork cutlet party where you can inhale every meal without worrying about your health. A meat parade or something.
Something like freshly grilled Spam on top of white rice, a piece of shredded kimchi, and a sip of warm kimchi stew soup. Things like that. Beautiful things in the world.
Thanks to this, I was able to overcome the extreme pain that came briefly.
Eventually the reward came.
Ding dong!
[You effectively endured the pain brought on by the K-taste thorn.]
[You did not cry for your mother inside.]
[The true effect of the K-taste applies to you who endured the hellish pain with heroic patience. ]
[K-Taste Visible effect activates.]
[Your metabolism rapidly accelerates to ‘8282 mode’.]
Whoa…!
‘Sigh.’
The whole body gets hot in an instant. A sigh of relief. My vision was blurry.
The feeling of a drop of transparent ink falling into the world in front of you. It feels like invisible ripples are spreading, shaking and distorting the vision in front of me one after another.
It was from then on.
My heart started beating like crazy.
Kung kuk kuk kuk kung kung! Kung kuk kuk kung kuk kung kung!
A runaway locomotive? no. Because this is going to Mars! It was a sound like the engine of a Megaton Nuclear superatmospheric breakthrough rocket taking off while shouting.
At the same time, I realized one thing.
‘Before… when I stabbed another guy with a black spike, there was a reason why he couldn’t benefit from body acceleration…!’
Suddenly, I remembered the time in Kranos when I stabbed the warlock with a black thorn. At the time, it was an inevitable choice because the situation was so urgent, but there were parts of me that were skeptical.
The thing was that it shuddered from the pain, but could not enter 8282 mode.
But now I understand.
The warlock at that time was crying inside and shouting ‘Mom’.
‘but. ‘Because it hurts that much.’
It is a pain that all people, no matter how muscular and bearded and tough they are, have no choice but to find their mother.
Fortunately, he is able to endure the thorn himself because he has prepared himself in advance. If he is stabbed without any mental preparation, even a peerless hero has no response.
Anyway, Rakiel raised his head as he once again confirmed the secret(?) of entering 8282 mode. I saw medicinal herbs neatly arranged on the table.
These were candidate medicines that could be used as ingredients for an antifungal herbal ointment to combat athlete’s foot.
Rakiel’s eyes quickly scanned the medicinal candidates.
SPAPA POT!
Much faster speed than usual eye processing!
Brain activity becomes even faster than that!
Ding dong!
[Decoction Preparation Skill Option ?: Activates the preview of herbal medicine mixture.]
[Before executing the preparation of herbal medicine, you can roughly preview what kind of efficacy the herbal medicine will be made according to the mixture and ratio of the prepared medicinal ingredients.]
[ Please gather the herbs you want to mix in one place.]
Papapot!
He picked up the medicine with amazingly accelerated movements and precise hand movements. I put the medicinal ingredients I had in mind in advance on a plate in the exact amount and proportion.
Then the result came to mind.
[Loading time is significantly shortened due to the influence of ‘8282 mode’.]
[Rapidly accelerated loading!]
[6.6%… 17.3%… 41.2%…!]
[The loading window is torn apart at a speed that exceeds its limits. We lose!]
[…100%!]
[Loading complete!]
Ding dong!
In an instant, a results window appeared.
[Decoction preparation option ?: The loading of the preview of the herbal medicine mixture has been completed]
[Informs you about the efficacy and side effects of the herbal medicine that will be made from the combination of the captured medicinal ingredients.]
It takes time from the moment you start picking up the medicinal ingredients until you see the results window. The total time was less than 5 seconds. However, Rachiel was not satisfied even here.
‘Oh, hurry up!’
No matter how fast you go, the tenacity of Koreans makes you shout faster! Perhaps thanks to the will and urging, the speed of the text engraved in the results window became several times faster than usual.
[Preview of medicinal ingredients]
[Sample number: 1]
[Expected efficacy: Improved skin elasticity, strengthened immunity, weak antifungal effect]
[Expected side effect: 3700% increase in liver cancer incidence]
“….”
I can’t use this.
But that doesn’t mean you’ll be particularly disappointed. I didn’t expect to be full after the first drink anyway. Because this is just the beginning.
‘continue! more!’
The night is just beginning. There’s only so much time left until morning, and even more time to self-basin with black K-flavor.
So do it. By the end of the night, I will definitely find the formula for the ointment that can be used to treat the 3rd Prince’s athlete’s foot.
Papapot!
Rachiel stretched out her hand toward the following herbs. I changed the mixture and ratio as I put it on a plate. The skill option was activated. His eyes were burning so intensely.
‘Once more!’
Ding dong!
[Decoction Preparation Skill Option ?: Activates the preview of herbal preparations.]
[Loading time is significantly shortened due to the influence of ‘8282 mode’.]
[…Loading complete!]
Ding dong dong!
A message that comes to mind constantly.
Eyes and hands that move constantly.
Satisfactory results did not come to mind right away. Rather, there were many more disappointing moments.
But I didn’t give up. It didn’t even stop. As it has always been so far. Just like when you were thrown to the bottom of society, you didn’t stop and eventually crawled up.
It was like that today too.
‘So keep going!’
Thodot!
Of course, he was so absorbed in his research that he was unaware of two facts.
First of all, every time he stabbed himself with the black K-flavored thorn, his skills were growing little by little to the point where it was barely noticeable.
“Hmph!”
Extreme pain.
If you endure it, ‘8282 mode’ will come.
The maintenance time of that mode was gradually increasing. At first it was only a few minutes.
However, the more I repeatedly stabbed and endured it, the more I gained experience. I grew up. Mode maintenance time has been lengthened. At the same time, his constitution, which had been reset after dying and being resurrected by the Dragon King, gradually transformed.
Another thing was that at this very moment, So In-bae, the 1st prince who had heard about the treatment of the 3rd prince, was clutching the back of his neck with a vase.
