"What else do you want?" Su Mingan said.
"Didn't you develop a drug to treat the Deficiency Disease? It is said that it is a miracle drug and a [breakthrough in the human era]. Just one course of treatment can alleviate the Deficiency Disease..." The god's voice was full of laughter:
"You go and eat it and overdose on it."
"Then, we will agree to the contract and give you enough resources to last until 72 years."
“…”
Lin Guang listened at the side, his pupils shrinking slightly.
He heard a strong sense of malice in the god's voice.
That kind of medicine... he had heard of it. It was made with the technology left by Akto. It was a medicine that concentrated the top wisdom of mankind and was made with painstaking efforts over the past decade. It saved countless families on the verge of breaking up and saved countless lives.
However, any drug, once taken in excess, is no longer a drug, but a "poison". If you take too much [Rose Blood], it will cause the human body to disintegrate, the limbs to become weak, the brain to be damaged, and even permanent disability...
The gods wanted to use [the pinnacle of human wisdom], the thing that humans are most proud of, to defeat Ak-To.
How ironic, how ugly.
"No...no..." Lin Guang tried to say something to stop him.
"Okay." Su Mingan raised his hand and said calmly, "Okay."
He just ate too much. As long as he doesn't die, he will have endless opportunities. From now on, this god will only regret his teasing today.
How can you defeat a god without paying a price?
Ten minutes later, a group of [Tawei] troops arrived with a wooden box. When the wooden box was opened, thirty [Rose Blood] were placed inside.
The normal dosage of Rose Blood is one pill a week. Three pills a week is considered an overdose.
The people with red eyes knelt in front of Su Mingan with expressionless faces, lifted the wooden box high, and presented the thirty rose solids in the box.
"Come." The god's tone was like coaxing a child: "Eat."
"Thirty?" Su Mingan said.
His eyes were calm.
"Thirty." said the god.
His tone was also calm.
“……”Su Mingan stretched out his hand.
Lin Guang reached out and grabbed his wrist at the same time.
"You shot me and broke my bones without blinking an eye before, and now you won't even let me take medicine." Su Mingan said, "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm sorry." Lin Guang repeated, "I'm sorry."
He loosened his hand.
Su Mingan swallowed the first drop of rose blood.
This was the first time he had eaten this kind of thing.
It's sticky, like plasticine, tasteless and unpalatable.
He swallowed it and quickly took a second one.
Then the third one, the fourth one...
Everyone looked at him quietly, as if they were parents watching their child taking medicine. It was the first time that Su Mingan had been so concerned about taking medicine. In the past, when he was sick, he would find medicine for himself.
...It's such a novel feeling that I have to experience it in this way.
His fingers trembled and quickly reached for the next one.
The eighth, the ninth...
The eighteenth, the nineteenth...
The twenty-seventh, the twenty-eighth...
The 30th one.
It was not until he stretched out his trembling hand and tried to grab the wooden box that he realized it was empty.
His eyelashes trembled, and his pupils flashed with a gray light. All the rose blood had been swallowed by him, and he swayed and held on to the motorcycle beside him.
Hallucinations emerged, and his vision was like fragmented colorful lights, flickering and shining in front of his eyes. He even thought he saw stars, charming starlight all over the sky, rivers melting in the warm spring breeze, and ginkgo leaves all over the sky like butterflies...
"Pa pa pa—" the sound of the gods' applause rang in his ears:
"Wonderful."
"Wonderful!"
"Thank you, Actor, for your contribution to the human world. This scene should be broadcast live to the world."
There was appreciation in the god's tone, as if he had watched a wonderful blockbuster movie.
This scene is too ironic.
People watched in silence.
At the edge of the cold world, there was nothing but Su Mingan's violent coughing.
…
"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"
“Cough—cough cough cough cough!!”
It's so cold.
After swallowing the medicine, his body was frozen stiff, the excessive amount of medicine impacting his internal organs, like running ice and snow. His limbs felt like being pricked by needles, as if there were insects gnawing under his skin.
His heart seemed to have shrunk into a small dot, and the pain spread like an explosion. A hot current surged out of his throat and into his mouth, and he coughed wildly and uncontrollably.
He covered his lips with his hand, coughed, and then moved his hand away.
At this moment, he glanced down and saw very clearly -
There was a pool of bright red blood on the palm of his hand.
He coughed up blood.
He had not coughed up blood so violently since he entered Kaiusta and no longer had that disabled body coughing up blood in the City of Measurement.
But now,
He coughed up blood.
“…”
He stared blankly at his palms, his chest seemed to be blocked by something, stuffy, and he was about to go crazy. He felt his heart condense like ice, freezing his body in an instant.
Living in this copy, he could hardly breathe.
I see.
I see……
I see.
Asa Akto coughed up blood because...
…
Civilization contract.
…
In real history, there must have been a year when humans reached a similar situation as today. And then...
