The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 30

Episode 30 Fantastic Species Selection Draw (1)

‘…What?’

Rachiel’s eyes widened.

It was unexpected.

It was a car that I was worried about as to how to obtain a round needle. That problem will be solved if you use the HP you have gathered.

‘What does it mean to be a good method?’

I asked myself.

The answer soon came back.

[Heart: Don’t you remember? You’ve received a notice about where you can use your HP.]

[Lungs: Phew… Let’s open the Book of Memories… Phew… You’ll get dizzy… You guys shouldn’t smoke things like this…]

[ Captain: If you don’t remember within 3 seconds, I’ll open your sphincter haha]

‘…Skill or phantom?’

This came to mind as I listened to the five intestines and six parts talking. It must have been the day I first opened my eyes in this world. At that time, there was a message that rang in my ears.

At the time, I was so half-asleep and dazed that I just ignored it, but as expected, it seemed like it was a message guiding me on how to use HP.

Rakiel looked back on the contents of the message at the time.

‘Is it possible to develop various skills or summon phantom species by investing the acquired HP?’

[Heart: Correct]

[Lungs: Clap clap clap.]

[Captain: …It’s a waste.]

“….”

That was the end of the message from the five organs and six parts. I tried to talk to him to see if that was the end of what he wanted to say, but there was no reply.

Rachiel opened the system window.

‘Let’s see. They say the answer lies in skill development or drawing phantom species. ‘Maybe developing acupuncture skills will solve the problem?’

I thought maybe that was the case.

‘Because it was the same with medical expenses.’

The skill was greater(?) than expected. In fact, there was a huge hidden feature. It was not simply about receiving medical expenses in money.

‘Thanks to you, I was able to receive bonus life. Maybe even acupuncture. A powerful function that I can’t even fathom right now may be of decisive help in solving the problem.’

He searched the skill list.

Ding dong!

〈List of unlockable skills〉

[1. Acupuncture]

[2. Cupping]

[3. Moxibustion]

[4. Preparation of decoction]

[5. Medicinal substance identification]

[6. Medicinal herbs search]

[7. [Medicine Casting]

The faint method of charging medical expenses for Jinmaek treatment, which has already been opened, was omitted from the list. He made the decision without thinking.

‘Acupuncture skills.’

Ding dong!

[List number 1. You have chosen acupuncture.]

[Skill opening (2nd time) Cost: 1500 HP]

[Currently possessed HP: 500]

[You do not meet the requirements for skill opening.]

[Your HP is insufficient.]

“.. ..”

The request was cut off by a pumpkin.

Rachiel held on to her shaky spirit. I whipped my cerebral cortex even more and thought of a breakthrough.

‘HP I’ve been saving a lot of money, but I’m not even close to it. ‘Then what should I do?’

A situation where 1500 HP is required to unlock any skill. However, there was no innovative way to obtain HP right now.

‘Then, could the phantom species selection lottery be the answer?’

I was wondering if it was possible. He looked at the ‘phantom species’ item next to the skill window. The response came immediately.

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 (1st time) Cost = 300 HP]

[Currently possessed HP: 500]

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

[YES / NO]

‘Hmm.’

Rachiel glared at the message.

It’s definitely cheaper.

Is it because it is a one-time lottery? I was intrigued to hear that I could select and possess a powerful phantom species with only 300 HP.

‘Besides, the five organs, six parts, and heart were like that earlier. There is a way to utilize HP ‘right away’. However, since unlocking skills is impossible due to lack of HP, perhaps the solution they recommended to me was to draw phantom species.’

Naturally, such an inference was possible.

Rachiel looked around.

‘Lord Gardin must have fallen asleep, right?’

After the commotion earlier in the day when Sergio was strangled while giving acupuncture needles, I had spent the afternoon and evening engulfed in worry.

Meanwhile, night was already deep. Sir Gardin entered his room early. The only people nearby who were awake were probably the guards guarding the bedroom door.

‘It’ll be okay as long as you don’t make a loud noise.’

Rachiel looked at the message window.

I chose ‘YES’ as if I had decided.

[Run the phantom species selection draw.]

300 HP has been consumed along with the notice. At the same time, a hologram-like notice appeared in the air.

Paaaa…!

[Before the selection draw, please state the function you want for the fantasy species.]

[The fantasy species candidates presented in the selection draw will be set according to the functions you want.]

‘Function?’

There was nothing to worry about further.

‘A fantastic species that can stably supply large quantities of round needles regardless of location and time.’

Immediately after the thought occurred to me.

[Your request has been registered.]

-Woah!

The notice was engulfed in light. The brilliance turned into a three-pronged card. They were placed in order on the left, center, and right. Soon, a short phrase appeared on each card.

〈Candidate 1: A child who is happy to gulp〉

〈Candidate 2: Steel Grump Releaser〉

〈Candidate 3: A cactus pooping〉

“….”

What is that?

Rachiel wrinkled her eyebrows as she looked at the words written on each card.

‘It seems like a mystery.’

It was the moment when that thought came to mind.

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

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

[The choice is yours.]

[Once The selected phantom species cannot be exchanged, returned, or refunded, so please choose carefully.]

A message comes to mind.

The meaning was clear.

‘Whew. Of the three, one is a jackpot, one is a medium hit, and the other is a bad hit.’

But I can’t back out of that choice.

What if you’re unlucky? So what if you pull out the gourd? There may be an unfortunate situation where we only take on strange fantasy species that do not reflect our needs at all.

“….”

Then what should I choose? Rachiel crossed her arms and glared at the three cards.

‘A child who is happy with honey, a cactus that poops…’

What on earth?

What kind of phantom species do those phrases mean?

I tried to infer, guess, and figure out. A choice that can only be made once. In order to make the best decision, I tried to remain as calm and collected as possible.

Thanks to this, the door to ideas gradually opened. Little by little, I was able to guess the meaning of those enigmatic words.

‘The first thing that comes to mind is that the child is happy to gulp. It’s probably one of two things. ‘Honey-loving bees or pigs.’

What if it was a bee?

It will have a poisonous stinger. You could use it for acupuncture.

‘It would be especially great if you placed a bee needle.’

But Rakiel shook his head.

‘Still, if it’s a bee, it’s in trouble. That will happen no matter how many bee stings you provide. Because a bee’s sting is disposable. Besides, if it’s a poisonous sting, it’ll hurt.’

However, he needed a large number of less painful round needles with certain specifications.

‘So you’re eliminated. Even if it’s a pig and not a bee, you’ll still be eliminated.’

Rakiel looked away from the first candidate, the ‘child who is happy with honey’ card. His eyes turned to the second candidate, ‘Steel Grumpy Releaser’.

‘I really don’t know what that is.’

So, instead of producing steel? What if that steel was incredibly thin? What if the steel remains at a certain thickness and is pulled out? If so, you will be able to make a lot of round needles.

But as expected, Rakiel shook his head.

‘I’m not sure. Picking that one is a gamble.’

Finally, his eyes turned to the third card.

‘A pooping cactus.’

Could it be a plant? As the text says, it’s a cactus, but does it poop? Or is it an animal that reminds me of a cactus?

‘Anyway, I think I can meet the conditions I want in both cases.’

Cacti have a lot of thorns. If you use it, you will be able to use it as a round needle. Even if it is an animal reminiscent of a cactus, it would be similar.

‘good.’

Rachiel made up her mind.

I reached for the third card.

‘This is my choice.’

Ding dong!

[You chose Candidate 3: ‘Pooping Cactus’.]

A message came to mind.

At the same time, the third card was colored with brilliance.

Hahahaha!

The remaining two cards disappeared into thin air. The brilliance of the third card became even more brilliant. Finally the card was turned over. A black silhouette was engraved on the back.

The whole thing had the shape of a round lump. When I looked closely, I saw countless needle-like thorns sticking out. But at the bottom, four small legs were visible. Eventually, the brilliance of the card spread to the silhouette.

Puzzle! Paget!

Sparks flew from the card.

The silhouette began to wriggle.

As if a magic circle was activated. Or as if announcing the birth of a new being. Finally, something kicked the card and popped out.

Pachi!

Intense shock wave.

A lump flying into my arms.

“Little girl!”

“…Huh?”

It was a lump a little larger than a tennis ball. I quickly caught the lump flying in front with both hands.

At that moment, Rakiel was scared.

“Atte!”

Both my palms tingled. I felt as if I had been pricked by dozens of needles. But Rachiel did not miss the lump. I held on tighter.

‘It’s going to be a fantastic day!’

It was a guy that was pulled out by investing a whopping 300 HP. But what if you don’t catch him properly and throw him away? From his perspective, it might not be a very pleasant first meeting.

‘Then you’re in trouble! I’m the one who needs to be bullied a lot from now on!’

First impressions are important. You need to make a good impression from the beginning. That way, it becomes easier to pamper yourself.

Rakiel clasped his hands as he remembered the truth(?) of life. I carefully used my palm to check the shape of the lump, as if holding a hot roasted sweet potato.

Thorns as sharp as chestnuts.

A two-head body with short limbs.

Fluffy buttocks.

So this is….

“Hedgehog?”

“Little girl!”

The guy responded to this muttering with his black eyes sparkling. And I rummaged through the wrinkles of my puffy belly. What he soon pulled out from the folds of his belly was a note smaller than a stamp.

“Little girl! “Kkosseum!”

“…Are you giving this to me?”

“Little girl!”

The guy nodded his small head.

I received the note and opened it.

Under the flickering candlelight.

I saw tiny letters engraved on the note.

‘This is too small to read…’

It was a moment when I squinted.

Ding dong!

The content written on the note became a message and appeared before my eyes. It was a guide containing detailed specifications and skills of the fantasy species that had just been selected. Rakiel clenched his fists as he read the contents.

I felt confident and filled with joy.

The choice you made today.

This is the phantom species selected that way.

This is awesome.
