Chapter 54

The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 54Episode 54. Second Phantom Species Selection Draw (1)

‘What?’

Rachiel frowned. I couldn’t believe what I just heard from the warden.

‘Is there a phantom species whose specialty is taking poison and testing its ingredients? Like an experimental guinea pig?’

[Sanjang: Ugh]

The soyjang continued speaking as if it was obvious, as if asking what was so surprising.

[Soy Sauce: I saw it when I was in the system waiting room. Really. There is a phantom species that eats anything, whether poison or medicine, and analyzes its ingredients as its specialty.]

‘Did you see it? In the system waiting room?’

[Soy Sauce: Uh.]

‘What does it mean to be a system waiting room?’

Rakiel became even more puzzled. Is there such a thing as a waiting room? It was my first time hearing the concept. The answer was in the explanation from the soy chief that soon came back.

[Soy Sauce: It’s literally just a waiting room. Some kind of locker room? A place to wait before being selected? Is it okay to say that much? I was sleeping there too before you woke me up. Here are all the heart, lungs, and intestines.]

‘Then what about the rest of the five organs and six parts that haven’t woken up yet?’

[Soy Sauce: Of course. The same goes for the phantom species waiting to be summoned.]

‘….’

Rakiel closed his mouth for a moment. Searᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

What on earth is a system? If you think about it, there were a lot of strange corners.

‘It’s also true that only I can see and hear this. The same goes for the system that seems as if it was set up just for me. ‘What is it?’

I was curious. However, there was no way to clearly answer the question right away.

[Soy Sauce: Anyway, don’t ask any more questions. Because I don’t know either. Besides, even if I knew, I couldn’t say it.]

‘You can’t tell me?’

[Soy Sauce: That’s the rule. Because there is a ban on it.]

‘Then what about phantom species? The ingredient analysis specialty you saw earlier is the phantom species. ‘Can you tell me what it looks like and its characteristics?’

[Soy sauce: No. Absolutely]

‘That’s harsh.’

[Soy Sauce: If you don’t like it, you can make five soy sauce and six sauces haha]

“Tsk.”

I guess I really can’t tell you. Rachiel stopped asking further questions. Still, I was satisfied because I got an unexpectedly large harvest.

‘If this is the case, then is drawing phantom species the answer?’

What if the information the soy director just gave you is true? All you need to do is select the phantom species. Then, we will be able to analyze the ingredients of Kusman’s paralyzing poison. Based on the analysis results, it will be possible to determine the dose of poison to use for Botox acupuncture.

‘So let’s do it.’

A ray of light of answer was finally seen in a dark place. Rachiel decided to follow the light. I opened the system window. I selected the ‘Phantom Species Selection Draw’ option. A notice I saw the other day kindly came to mind.

Ding dong!

[You have selected the fantasy species selection draw item.]

[You can draw a fantasy species by investing a certain amount of HP.]

[Powerful and unique fantasy species are absolutely loyal to the owner who summoned them and have a variety of abilities. will be provided.]

[Selection Draw (2nd Round) Cost = 1500 HP]

[Currently Possessed HP: 1400]

[HP you have is insufficient.]

[The Phantom Species Selection Draw (2nd Round) cannot be performed.]

“…what?”

Rachiel frowned.

I had no idea that such a tackle(?) would come. It’s not more or less, it’s just 100 HP short. Even the laughter of the five intestines and six parts could be heard in my ears.

[The five intestines and six parts are happy about the current situation.]

[Heart: Kitchen hahahahahahaha have you seen them, guys hahahaha]

[Lungs: hahahahahahahaha]

[Captain: He just shook his sphincter hahaha]

[Lip: Meanwhile, HP What did you do that you didn’t collect? Human lol]

“….”

What is this embarrassing yet strangely angry feeling? I felt ashamed, as if I had boarded the bus triumphantly and then heard the harsh comment, ‘The remaining balance is not enough.’

But Rachiel did not show such feelings. The situation is low on HP. First of all, the urgent priority was to supply insufficient HP. He suppressed his strangely annoyed(?) feelings.

‘for a moment. Hey guys.’

I closed my eyes and said.

‘I’m in a bit of a hurry right now, but would you be willing to lend me 100 HP?’

….

No one answered.

Rakiel spoke again.

‘hey. I know everyone is listening. Just lend me 100 HP. uh?’

Then the response finally came.

Ding dong!

[The five organs and six parts are taken aback by your suggestion.]

[Heart: Hey. Did you hear what he said?]

[Lungs: Hung… paha… haha]

[Captain: I’m asking you to lend me your HP haha, crazy haha]

[Siwan: Why don’t you ask for an advance payment instead?]

“….”

Returning The response was not as good as expected. No, honestly, I felt a little bad.

‘How dare you laugh at a person’s request for the five organs and six parts?’

Quick.

Rachiel’s blood pressure reached its highest point.

Who is their owner? Which one is really better? I felt like I needed to make sure they were aware of it.

‘Okay, that’s good.’

It was from that moment.

I stopped breathing.

‘Then you won’t give me HP even if I do this?’

I continued to hold my breath. I waited for the reaction of the five organs and six parts. Soon the guys responded.

Ding dong!

[The five organs and six parts are taken aback by your actions.]

[Heart: Hey, what are you doing?]

[Lungs: Sigh… Phhh…?]

[Captain: Huh. Is this really a threat or something?]

[Sanjang: I think that’s true? Haha]

They may make a fuss or not. Rakiel continued to hold his breath. Then the response gradually changed.

Ding dong!

[The five organs and six organs are embarrassed by your actions.]

[Heart: Huh? Huh? They say they don’t have enough oxygen?]

[Lungs: …Heh… Phuhuh….]

[Captain: Is that guy crazy? Haha]

[Sippler: Hey. Still, it must be painful.]

Of course, it was a bit painful.

Still, I continued to endure it.

Ding dong!

[The five internal organs are greatly embarrassed by your actions.]

[Heart: Hey? Hey hey? What’s wrong with you?] [Lungs:

…

haha…

Pssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssvqxxxxxxxxcvcqcxvcxvxvcxcxcqcxcqcqfc

) It was a game. I kept holding my breath until my face opened up. And finally.

Ding dong!

[Lungs: …Huh! Pah!]

[The lungs that gave in to the threat donated 100 HP to you.]

[Currently possessed HP: 1500]

…The effect of the threat was significant.

“Perhak! Sigh! Phew!”

Only then did Rachiel exhale. Successful threat to rip off HP. I smiled contentedly, alleviating my dizziness. In my head, boos poured in from the five organs and six parts who had surrendered(?).

[The five organs and six parts criticize you.]

[Heart: Hey! My lungs are dying, man!]

[Lungs: Lung… paha… ㅠㅠ]

[Captain: Wow, that sphincter just gave me goosebumps.]

[Lungs: Brothers, let’s just play ㄹㅇㅋㅋㅋ.]

But Rakiel listened to their complaints. I ignored the noise. Anyway, if this company does something good, they will support HP again. Besides, there is something else urgent right now. He reopened the Phantasmal Species Drawing System window.

Ding dong.

[Selection Draw (2nd round) Cost = 1500 HP]

[Currently possessed HP: 1500]

[Do you want to run the Fantasy Species Selection Draw?]

[YES / NO]

Finally, the draw selection window was activated. I chose ‘YES’ without hesitation.

[Run the phantom species selection draw.]

1500 HP suddenly disappeared along with a familiar notice. A holographic notice appeared in the air.

Paaa-!

[Please indicate the function you want for the fantasy species before drawing the selection.]

[The candidate group of fantasy species presented in the selection drawing will be set according to the function you want.]

Desired function. That’s clear. Rakiel said, recalling the information he heard from the warden earlier.

‘A fantastic species with the specialty of an experimental guinea pig that can take poison or medicine and analyze its ingredients.’

[Your request has been registered.]

Hahaha!

The notice was covered in brilliance. The light rotated and turned into a three-pronged card. Soon, a simple introductory phrase appeared on each card.

〈Candidate 1: I… I shed tears of bloodㄷㅏ…〉

〈Candidate 2: Ugh again Jugeum ㅠㅠ〉

〈Candidate 3: Drinking water ㅁㅁ〉

“….”

What are they again this time? I stared at the introductory text written on each card. Meanwhile, an additional guidance message appeared.

[You have been presented with three candidates from the phantom species selection system.]

[The three candidates reflect your requirements 100%, 50%, and 0%, respectively.]

[The choice is up to you.]

[One Refunds are not possible for the candidate you selected, so please choose carefully.]

‘As expected.’

It was the same rule as when picking the last time. If so, the meaning is clear.

‘This time too, each of the three cards is a jackpot, a medium hit, and a bad hit.’

Rachiel looked at the three cards with careful eyes. You only have one choice. What if I make the wrong choice? This could result in you wasting a lot of the HP you worked so hard to build up.

He suppressed the rising tension and raised the reasoning ability of his cerebral cortex to its limit.

‘Let’s go through it step by step in order. The first card is… I sometimes shed tears of blood?’

At first, I tilted my head.

I wondered what that meant. Is it a high-level metaphor or analogy? But suddenly, a piece of knowledge flashed through my mind.

‘Oh, is that really true? ‘Horned lizard?’

I remembered seeing it in a documentary one day. It was a small lizard that lived in the desert. However, the defensive behavior shown when encountering a natural enemy was unique.

‘Blood was gushing out of my eyes. Like a water gun. After surprising or perplexing the natural enemy, he quickly runs away. That was the lizard’s survival strategy.’

So what kind of phantom species does ‘I sometimes shed tears’ in the first card mean? I thought maybe it was based on the horned lizard.

‘My reasoning may be wrong. For now, I think that’s right.’

Then the conclusion is simple. The guy with blood pouring out of his eyes. He is far from analyzing the ingredients of poison or medicine. In other words, it means that it is a piece of work that reflects 0% of one’s own needs.

‘Then the first card is eliminated.’

Rachiel boldly ignored the first card. And then I looked at the second card.

‘Ugh again Jugeum?’

…What is this?

I thought about it for a while.

But I couldn’t quite remember what it was.

‘Write it. It’s too vague. Then… let’s start with the next card.’

If you don’t know the answer, boldly solve the next problem first. I remembered the strategy I used during the college entrance exam. I shifted my gaze to the third card.

‘Drinking water haha. Fortunately, this is easy. That’s it. A hippopotamus drinking water.’

It was a relatively simple problem. The performance(?) of the water-drinking hippopotamus was also guessed to some extent.

‘You probably like water. You might drink a lot. The ability to analyze the composition of water must be that great.’

When I thought about it, I was a little drawn to it.

‘Then shall we try this? This is because most poisons and medicines use water as a solvent. Wouldn’t it also have the ability to analyze poison or medicine ingredients in water?’

What if it’s true?

It was going to be a big hit.

A guy who can analyze all substances in water. The more you think about it, the more useful and attractive it will become. However, Rachiel did not jump to conclusions.

‘But what if this guy only analyzes water?’

What if you are a water lover who only cares about water, or a picky eater who loves extreme concepts? Then it becomes difficult. What you need now is the ability to analyze ‘all poisons and medicines’, not the ability of a water mmelier who only analyzes water.

‘If that’s the case, the draw is ruined. Now that I think about it, yes. Do you mix the ingredients you want to analyze with water and feed them? There is no guarantee that that will be possible.’

So it was.

The second card whose identity we have not yet guessed. That kept bothering me.

‘Two cards. One card reflects 50% of my needs and the other reflects 100% of my needs. ‘Which one should I choose?’

It feels like there’s only one question you don’t know on an important test. Is this what it feels like to risk your life in front of him? Rakiel tried to keep his cool. I thought furiously.

Then the answer came.

‘okay. What I asked for was the ability to analyze poisons and medicine, not water-specific abilities.’

So this is a kind of problem of probability.

Looking at it that way, it was simple.

‘Hippopotamus drinking water. This one probably reflects only 50% of my needs.’

Rachiel reached for the second card. My heart was pounding as if I was gambling. I pointed at the card.

Ding dong!

[You chose Candidate 2: 〈Ugh again Jugeum ㅠㅠ〉.]

A message came to mind.

The selected card was stained with brilliance.

Hahahaha!

Soon the card was turned over.

Black silhouette engraved on the back. It looked like something flat and round. It had something fluttery that looked like wings. Soon the silhouette began to glow brightly.

Pajijijit! Pajik!

Sparks bursting from the card. The magic circle was activated and a new being was born. At that moment, something kicked the card and popped out.

Patchoux!

A baseball-sized lump flying with a shock wave.

“Bbook!”

“What?”

I instantly accepted it with both hands. A new phantom species born into the world through your own choice. I first checked the guy’s appearance.

“Is this… a flame… a sunfish?”

Rachiel muttered without realizing it.
