Chapter 119 Two roads
With this silent persistence, Li Ang swallowed all his words of refusal.
He took a deep breath, solemnly accepted the exquisite little box with both hands, and bowed deeply to Eve:
"Thank you for your kind guidance, Master. I will certainly live up to your expectations."
"Hmm." Eve nodded slightly and leaned back on the sofa, as if she had just given away an ordinary object.
After Li Ang carefully tucked the small box into his bosom and hid it close to his body, seeing that his mentor Eve had given no further instructions, he wisely took his leave.
On his way back to the dormitory, his brain was already racing, and two paths regarding the drug were clearly laid out before him.
Firstly, finding an alternative to the Blood of God is undoubtedly the orthodox path of potion-making, but its difficulty is like climbing to the heavens.
The Blood of God is already a legendary item, and it is currently impossible to obtain. Trying to analyze its composition and find a substitute with similar properties is undoubtedly a pipe dream.
But the "panacea" she now holds is the key Eve entrusted to her.
My mentor probably thinks I can find a substitute for the Blood of God by analyzing this potion.
However, Li Ang knew that with his current level of ability, he was not yet capable of completing this feat, so he could only preserve it and wait until he was able to do so in the future.
"Then, only the second path remains—" Li Ang muttered to himself.
But this path is also not easy, after all, even mentor Eve cannot solve the guidance problem within the existing framework.
However, this also shows that the problem cannot be solved with the existing potion system.
The potion system in this world seems to have focused all its efforts on developing oral medications, with almost no exploration of localized or precise drug delivery.
"Since oral administration cannot achieve precise targeting, why not apply it topically? Or even more directly, inject it?"
A thought flashed through his mind like lightning, and Li Ang suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Memories of the past life instantly resurface, injection! Directly deliver the drug to the specific tissues or bloodstream that need treatment, bypassing the systemic distribution and metabolic losses associated with oral administration.
"That's right, it's an injection!" A bright light shone in Li Ang's eyes.
Topical medications are difficult to penetrate deeply, especially for organs like the eyeball, which have a delicate structure and many barriers.
However, if it is a precise local injection—
A surge of excitement gripped Li Ang's heart. He hurried back to his dormitory, eagerly spread out a new sheet of parchment, picked up a quill pen, and began sketching from memory.
Soon, a sketch of a device with a simple structure but unique in the world appeared on the paper.
It is a transparent tube with precise markings, and one end is a piston that can fit tightly against the inner wall and can be pushed.
The other end was connected to a thin, hollow metal tube with an extremely sharp tip, which was a syringe that was commonplace in his original world.
After completing the sketch of the syringe, Li Ang did not hesitate at all.
He put away the blueprints, checked his belongings, and then picked up the [Swift Wind 200] broom that was leaning against the wall.
With this broom now, entering and leaving the Wizard's Tower is indeed much more convenient.
He arrived at the tenth-floor flight platform, skillfully activated the broom, and the runes at the tip of the broom glowed faintly as it carried him lightly into the air, flying towards the commercial district within Riley City.
Before long, Li Ang landed on the bustling street near the port.
He followed the sign and found a glassware shop that looked to be quite large.
The store displays a wide variety of glassware, from common beakers and crucibles to decorative handicrafts.
The shop owner was a sprightly old man wearing black-rimmed glasses.
Li Ang took out a drawing of the syringe and asked:
"Boss, could you please customize this vessel according to this drawing? It needs to be transparent, have a smooth inner wall, and be precisely sized, especially the tubular part; there can be no deviation whatsoever."
The shop owner took the blueprints, adjusted his glasses, examined them carefully for a moment, and then a hint of surprise appeared on his face:
"Sir, this object of yours—its structure is quite novel, and..."
He paused, then pointed to the transparency requirements on the drawing.
"To achieve the transparency you require, glass is probably not up to the task; it would be best to use crystal for polishing and manufacturing."
"Crystal?" Li Ang's voice deepened, sensing the hefty price tag. "Approximately how much will it cost?"
The shopkeeper pondered for a moment and said, "Such a crystal tube, plus the push rod, would cost fifty silver coins just for materials. Moreover, such a high-precision instrument would require our best craftsmen to spend at least four days making it, so it would cost at least sixty silver coins."
Sixty silver coins! Li Ang couldn't help but gasp inwardly, knowing that a level three senior wizard's monthly allowance was only sixty silver coins.
But then he immediately thought of Elisa's empty left eye, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll order two."
"No problem, then please come back in eight days to pick up your goods." The shop owner accepted the deposit and smiled.
Leaving the glass shop, Li Ang ignored the pain in his wallet and went into a blacksmith shop on the street corner. The clanging of hammering metal filled the air.
He found the shop owner, a muscular, shirtless man. Li Ang then handed him a drawing of the needle part and explained his requirements in detail:
"Boss, I need to customize these extremely fine hollow metal needles. The tip must be sharp, the internal channel must be smooth and unobstructed, and the diameter should be approximately—"
The blacksmith held the blueprints, examining them from all angles for a long time, his brow furrowing deeper and deeper. Finally, he shoved the blueprints into Li Ang's hand and shook his head vigorously.
"Guest, are you here to make fun of me? It's so thin, and hollow inside? And you want it to be unbreakable and unblockable? I've never even seen one before, let alone made one. I can't make it at all." After leaving the blacksmith shop, Li Ang was still not giving up and asked several other shops, but he got almost the same answer.
They either thought he was joking, or they directly expressed their helplessness.
At the last shop, an elderly blacksmith carefully examined the blueprints and pondered for a moment before saying:
"Young man, your requirements are too demanding. An ordinary blacksmith's skills are simply insufficient for this task. Perhaps—only the most skilled craftsmen in the Dwarf Kingdom could possibly forge it."
"Dwarf Craftsman" Leon's eyes lit up, and he instantly thought of that always energetic figure, Sandra Meya.
After thanking his boss, he immediately got up and flew straight back to the Wizard Tower, arriving at Sandramea's dormitory without stopping.
"Knock knock knock." Li Ang knocked on her dormitory door.
The door was quickly opened, revealing Maya's charming face filled with confusion. Upon seeing Li Ang, she immediately exclaimed with delight, "Li Angqing? What brings you here? Come in quickly."
Li Ang entered the room, stated his purpose directly, and handed her the diagram of the needle:
"Your Highness, look at this! Could your dwarven craftsmen have created something like this?"
