Ming Dynasty, New Rome, and Infinite Divine Machine

Victoria was not afraid at all, because there was nothing to be afraid of.

Although she already knew that the medicine Zhu Ling prescribed was veterinary medicine combined with psychological therapy, Zhu Ling's introduction just now had already convinced her.

"Hey," Shangluo reminded, "What she recommended was the peeled pig's face, not the medicine for you to take. She herself doesn't even know what's in the medicine."

"I also prepared the medicine according to my brother's doctor's orders." Zhu Ling retorted, "Don't look at me like this, I have been a veterinarian for five years. I have been able to give injections to wild boars since I was 5 years old. I have also given injections to lizards and sparrows."

"Wow~~ That's amazing." Victoria's eyes were full of stars. "Have you ever caught a wild boar?"

"I have caught them. In this season, wild boars can be found everywhere in the city. Not all wild boars are caught, otherwise the zoo wouldn't have to do anything else. Just raising wild boars could open a pig farm. We in the Imperial Garden are only busy diverting some wild boars in the fall and winter."

[Wait. Is Zhu Ling doing some kind of talk therapy? ]

"You just realized it? I realized it at the beginning. Zhu Ling seems to be using the beauty of life to stimulate Victoria's desire to survive."

[Is this also part of the therapy? Now I am very interested in how he conducts talk therapy with the panda.]

"Have you forgotten? Our Mr. Longlong didn't go into heat on time during the estrus period. As long as this problem is solved, he will have a good outlook on life."

【Ah, Victoria..】

Shangluo looked at Victoria. She had already taken a bite. Braised pig's face, although it was just a plate of braised pig's face, made her feel the joy of the world again. If this was not happiness, she didn't know what happiness was.

Even if she was given the throne in exchange, she would

[The throne will not be changed. But the elders may be changed. ]

"Are you reading her mind?"

[Do we need to read her heart? Her expression is all written on her face, so easy to understand.]

"That's true."

Happy, happy, Victoria ate the braised pig face in front of her.

"So." Yanqiu quietly asked Shangluo beside her, "Who is this?"

"It's Victoria."

"I know it's Victoria. Is it your friend? Or the princess' friend? It can't be the Roman Emperor Victoria."

Shangluo nodded calmly.

"Really?! The Roman Emperor is laughing while eating a pig's face?"

"What do you think?"

"I thought she would at least have to stay overnight in the purple tent. How could she be such a girl who indulged in sensual pleasures between the curtains?"

"It seems that due to her health condition, she is not able to meet outsiders."

"It's similar to the King of Zhuzi Country, right? So the princess is now diagnosing her pulse with a thread? A miracle doctor!"

“How did you get to this point?”

"She is following the script. I'm a professional, so of course I know which script she is following. This is really amazing. Amazing!" Yan Qiu couldn't stop praising.

"So you don't want to eat?"

"No, I'm not eating. I'm just here to watch."

"Hey, have one, my partner." Shangluo handed over a lotus leaf pancake.

"Oh, okay." Yanqiu smoothed her hair back, took out the hair tie and tied it into a ponytail to prevent her hair from hanging down.

"Since you asked me to, I'll eat it."

[I can see that they are treating you as some strange switch. When they want to eat but are embarrassed to eat, they use you as an excuse.]

"Oh, by the way, Shangluo," Yanqiu asked, "What are your plans for Wang Lingguan's movie?"

"Is everything ready over there?" Shangluo asked.

He remembered that there were indeed some arrangements before. According to the arrangement, Shangluo could replace Yanqiu to perform in some martial arts scenes. This was mainly for publicity.

"I asked you to be the stunt double before, right? Now there are some changes."

"Wait, what's the name of this play?"

"'Wang Lingguan vs. Feitian Yaksha' tells the story of a great demon flying around on a broomstick in the magic world of Rome. This great demon will suddenly attack if he hears someone calling his name. So Wang Lingguan was invited by the Roman Caesar to take the Yin-Yang Strange Bottle to subdue Feitian Yaksha."

"You don't want me to play the role of the flying demon, do you? I think my nose is pretty good-looking, it would be a pity to remove it."

"Oh, actually, I want you to play the role of Wang E."

"Is it Wang Lingguan's evil body?"

"Yeah." Yan Qiu nodded, "Because it was decided before that I would play both roles. Now I have discussed with my master and decided that I will play the original body of Wang Lingguan and Wang Shan. It is better to let you play the key role of Wang E."

"Wait a minute. I suddenly have a bad feeling. So what is the character Wang E going to do?"

"It's nothing, just using the thunder to beat the flying yaksha to death. Because I think this image is too vicious, it's better for you to do it."

Shangluo understood now.

This is probably because Master Satian wants to increase the special effects budget for this movie. Because it is a scene of fighting a big evil, a large part of the special effects is used in the fancy beating of the flying demon.

But Shangluo also knew that Yanqiu’s past image was not that violent - although she had the image of a superhero, she did not come up and beat people up indiscriminately.

There are such dramas now, and they have already been aired, which are the dramas that Sa Tianshi mentioned before, "beating the bad guys in three minutes". This part is definitely not for Yanqiu to play, mainly because she does not have a three-minute break every day.

Since this part also quotes Wang Lingguan's worldview, the character is played by "Wang E", a variation of Wang Lingguan.

Unlike Wang Lingguan, Wang E is reasonable in everything he does. Even if he sees a bad guy who has not committed any crime on the street, beating him up just because he looks like he might have committed a crime is completely in line with Wang E's logic.

"Wait." Shangluo asked, "Can I ask how violent it is?"

"I don't know. The script is still being discussed with Rome, because we also have to take their filming techniques into consideration. However, it has been confirmed that Victoria will play the role of the Roman Caesar."

“Is she going to act too?”

"She actually plays herself in a lot of movies. Ask her if you don't believe me."

Shangluo relayed the question.

"Is that true? I remember there seemed to be some schedule, most likely for me to recite the lines. Eh? So, Shangluo and I are also going to act together in a play? When?"

"According to the schedule, it will be around next spring." Yanqiu replied, "The crew will go to Constantinople at that time."

"Okay!" Victoria said happily, "I've decided! I must live well until that day, and I will definitely treat you to braised pig's face again in Constantinople."

"Okay!" Zhu Ling took out the glass bottle, "Cheers!"

Victoria tilted her head back and drank the strange liquid in the strange cup.

"Hmm!!!" Suddenly, Victoria's face gradually turned red, "Hmm! Hmm! Hmm!"

Shangluo blinked: "Are you okay?"

"It tastes good! It tastes so good! Shangluo, you should also try this medicine. It tastes just as good as spring!"

"If you want to drink it, you need another half bottle of Spring." Zhu Ling took out another small bottle.

"Forget it, forget it, there's no need for that." Shangluo waved his hands repeatedly.

"Come on~~" Zhu Ling ran over with the bottle in hand, "It's delicious. Spring pancakes will be delivered later. Don't we need a little bit of spring when we eat spring pancakes?"

Chapter 1264 This is the Rejuvenation Potion

"I understand!" Shangluo finally understood now, "So this is the rejuvenation potion!"

When Zhu Xianxun first mentioned it, he called it a rejuvenation drug. He said that it didn't work with external forces, but to drive away diseases from the inside out. It mobilized the immune system and other endocrine systems.

Because in the final analysis, internal medical diseases originate from within. Even a tumor as big as a basin is grown from the human body itself. Since the human body can grow, it can also retract.

By analogy, other diseases can be eliminated in this way. In addition, many other diseases can be solved and even a broken body can be repaired. After all, the parts of the human body grow by itself, not assembled from outside. If one set can grow, another set can grow.

Therefore, as long as the body can be repaired - specifically, as long as it can be repaired by "slowly growing out", this rejuvenation pill can solve the problem.

And if used to deal with some hormone-related problems, this rejuvenation pill will take effect very quickly.

Victoria regained her youth almost immediately. Although her heart condition was not cured, all other problems were cured after taking the bottle of medicine.

[The veterinary drugs must be used more aggressively.]

"So, Shangluo, you really don't want to have some?" Zhu Ling suggested again, "This is good stuff."

"Can I ask first, how exactly do you make these medicines work?" Shangluo thought it would be better to ask first.

"Oh, what I did just now wasn't clear enough - if you don't want to die, you won't die. It's that simple."

“So people who want to die can’t be saved, right?”

"If someone wants to die, even the God of Hell cannot save him from dying. Even if he eats, he will most likely die again. So mental illness is not that easy to treat. I just give him guidance and then solve some physiological problems. If the mental problem is caused by physiological problems, it can probably be cured at the same time. But if it is caused by external pressure, it is probably incurable. Studying medicine can save people, but it can't save that many people.

"So, Shangluo." She paused, "My brother said that he can only save half of the people. The other half has to be saved by you."

If this happened a month ago, Shangluo would probably say, "How could I be so worthy to save so many people?"

But after finding the medicine with Zhu Xianxin, and especially after seeing Victoria taking the medicine with his own eyes, Shangluo realized that a change might really be coming.

When everyone can eat enough and their material needs are met, and all physical diseases are cured, then we can say that although not everyone in Kinai can be saved, at least the "vast majority" of people can be saved. This "vast majority" is probably more than 98%.

As for the 2%, Shangluo is reserved for those special people. The suffering in this world is endless. Even if there is no problem of survival, human society itself will produce various advanced problems, bringing higher-level pressure to humans - and most importantly, accidents.

You never know where accidents will come from. Human society has a 2% natural poverty rate, and there will always be 2% of people who are in poverty for various reasons, mainly bad luck.

Obviously, rejuvenating drugs are no good for bad luck, because bad luck is obviously not a disease in the ordinary sense.

But under so many restrictions, this aphrodisiac still has great practical significance. Buddhism talks about the four sufferings and eight sufferings, the four sufferings are birth, aging, sickness and death.

Although this aphrodisiac cannot solve the misfortunes of life, the approach of aging, and the inevitable death, it can solve "disease".

This is the medicine that cures illness. It solves the most practical and pressing problems. Once it's introduced to society, as Zhu Xianxun envisions, the first impact will likely be a "medical holiday" for all doctors. However, soon enough, doctors will be immersed in new research in the realm of the extraordinary.

There will be many more substitutions that will arise from this. For example, using perpetual motion machines to produce staple food will inevitably cause losses to some grain farmers.

How to deal with this, whether to consider the palm or the back of the hand first, this is something Zhu Xianxun has already left to Shangluo to decide.

And Shangluo’s decision is——

"Shangluo, what's your decision?" Zhu Ling asked, "What do you think of these medicines?"

"Like other issues, my principle is to avoid irreversible problems first. This drug should not be directly released to the public without any additional editing. It should be used to solve the problem of 'not being able to use it' first. Like Victoria, I think her urgency is still not enough. Let's just give it away today."

"Hey, thanks~" Victoria is in a good mood now. Although the root cause of the disease has not been treated, the symptoms have been completely suppressed. At least during this period of time, Victoria can have a healthy and strong body.

"What about the others?" Shangluo thought for a moment, "Brother, how much of this medicine can be made now?"

"He said that the dosage is actually not fixed and needs to be used on the spot. That's why he gave it to me, a 'well-trained doctor', to deal with the condition. I can be considered well-trained in the veterinary field, right?"

Shangluo did not intend to deny this. To be fair, if Zhu Ling could enlighten all the pandas, then her training could be said to be effective. Because Shangluo knew Longlong, and that guy had a very strange temper. If Zhu Ling had not persuaded him, I am afraid that the medicine would not have worked.

"Then I think these drugs should be recommended first to those patients with the strongest will to survive. I think they should be delivered to major hospitals as soon as possible to those who need life-saving drugs the most."

"Okay, I'll wake him up now."

“No need, no need.”

"Why? If you delay for one more day, someone will die."

"I mean, I can handle this kind of thing. He has finally recovered, so don't add any more trouble to him."

"Oh, so are you going to work overtime tonight?"

"It's not difficult. Just leave this kind of work to Doudou. I am actually concerned about Victoria's current condition. Wait a minute."

Shang Luo pulled out a silver thread from his phone: "Your Majesty Caesar, let's do a pulse diagnosis."

"Oh, no need to be so particular."

"No, I don't know how to diagnose a pulse other than this. This is a machine check, not me."

Chapter 1265 Victoria's Root of Disease

"Yeah." After reading the readings detected by Apollonia and referring to the medical advice given by Apollonia, Shangluo nodded.

"What's going on? Doctor? Can I still be saved?"

"The readings show that your physical condition has indeed become healthy. But as expected, your disease has not been resolved and the root cause of your illness is still there."
