He gave a wry smile at this assessment.
"Besides the critical condition notice, is there any humanitarian care?"
Liu Bai looked at Mebius.
Mebius glanced at Liu Bai with some surprise, then revealed a smile that was hard to describe as warm or cold.
“Yes, I usually advise them to have euthanasia directly.” Möbius stuffed the notebook into his pocket and stood up.
"..." Fox Palace frowned slightly.
Liu Bai pressed on, "What if persuasion fails?"
“Then we have no choice but to take a gamble.” Mebius laid Makoto flat and pressed her abdomen a few times. “I can’t save her. Although I’m reluctant to admit it, her condition is beyond my control. The level of Honkai infection in her body is completely different from that of an ordinary person.”
The difference in magnitude is too great.
"Liu Bai, is there any leftover lunch you made?"
"Gone."
“Then make a little more, and pick some easily digestible food—this person’s stomach isn’t full at all.”
"Um...will everything be alright?"
Liu Bai knew he should try to get Zhen to eat more, but Zhen just couldn't eat anything, and there was nothing he could do.
"As long as the food you make really has healing properties, everything will be fine—there are countless ways for her to die in this condition, and dying is at best a decent way to die."
Mebius told a joke that nobody wanted to laugh at.
On the contrary, there's not much to say about the feeding therapy – Liu Bai's miraculous abilities are no less than this.
"You're racing against time. If you treat her gently, the condition might worsen faster than you imagine."
After Möbius finished speaking, he stared at Liu Bai for a while, then revealed a sneer.
"Oh, and let me tell you another principle—since you're a doctor, don't cater to your patients. Your job is to save lives, not to support your wife."
"I'll go downstairs to prepare the ingredients first." Upon hearing this, Huzhaigong went downstairs immediately.
Mebius nodded at Fox Palace.
That's not bad.
"Regarding her treatment, do you have any plans?"
"Not yet?" Bai felt like he was back in his student days.
The person standing before me, Mebius, seems to be that strict mentor.
"Plan accordingly. Since you noticed the problem before, it means you have detection methods. Feed the animals at fixed locations, times, and quantities, and then use your methods to record the changes in their bodies."
Mebius paused to think for a moment after saying this.
"Try to choose easily digestible foods. If necessary, you can add one or two more meals. Also, given her condition... once she gets better, you can insert a feeding tube directly. I just don't know if there are any restrictions on the foods you provide."
Love potion cannot be administered by injection.
"There might be." Bai thought for a moment, then gave a less optimistic answer.
"That doesn't matter, given her situation..."
Möbius sighed.
If something goes wrong with the feeding tube, it could be even more life-threatening. Since I can eat and swallow now, there's no need to be too aggressive.
"Alright, what are you still doing here? Go downstairs and cook!"
Chapter 113 Mebius Just Won't Give It Up
"…Thank you for your trouble."
After the feeding play ended, Raiden really looked a little uncomfortable.
Forced feeding did cause her some discomfort, but after being told off by Mebius, Raiden Shin had to admit that a certain degree of "overly aggressive" treatment was necessary.
Although the current approach is to treat people to a meal, the treatment itself is not such a simple matter.
"Hey... why don't you feed the white mouse mouth-to-mouth?"
Seeing that Liu Bai had finished feeding him, Mebius, who had been sitting in the back organizing documents, put down his pen and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"...Next time for sure?"
"You're getting cocky after I just said something, aren't you?" Mebius nudged Liu Bai's waist with his foot.
"Please don't make such embarrassing jokes."
She covered her mouth and chuckled softly—it was unclear whether the laughter was due to Mebius's joke or the interaction between Liu Bai and Mebius.
However, it's clear that she's in better spirits.
"Let me check the situation."
Liu Bai reached out and touched the real hand.
"Huh?" Raiden was startled by the direct touch, but her experience and mindset as a general quickly calmed her down.
"Hmm... about 5%."
A whole host of conditions combined only reduced it by 5%—but while that may seem small, it's actually quite significant.
The total value of all of Lei Dianzhen's illnesses is approximately 1500%.
One treatment completed 0.3% of the total progress. According to Mebius, with four to five meals a day, the total progress could reach 1% per day.
If we continue to optimize the recipes and ingredients, including shark fin and bird's nest—regardless of whether it's a nutritional waste or not, as long as the quality of the ingredients is top-notch—then achieving 2% progress per day is not impossible.
Furthermore, Liu Bai's cooking skills will improve... the future looks promising.
Of course, the possibility of natural deterioration must also be taken into account.
"From now on, let the people from Inazuma do this kind of work themselves, understand? That way, you won't get entangled with them if something happens to them later."
"Our Inazuma organization isn't one to be so petty."
Hu Zhaigong pushed open the door and entered.
"At least not as much as Dr. Möbius, right? We consider Lord Liu Bai an honored guest and our savior..."
Fox Palace, like a noble lady from ancient times, bowed respectfully and properly to Liu Bai.
"..."
Wow... Is this a sign that Fox Palace is going to challenge Mebius?
Stop! Don't, don't let me do this to you!
"Hmph...no matter what, he's still my guinea pig—don't you think?"
"Uh-huh."
"Ah~ Lord Liu Bai is really unlucky to have met the right person. If he had landed in our Inazuma, Lord Liu Bai would probably be second only to the emperor by now, instead of being ordered around like this. What do you think, Lord Liu Bai?"
"Uh-huh."
I understand the logic, so when do you fast forward to the hair-pulling scene?
"You still dare to 'hmm'?" Mebius wasn't oblivious to Liu Bai's absent-minded perfunctory attitude, but this was just too much!
"Please don't blame Lord Liu Bai~" Hu Zhaigong suddenly transformed into a mistress caught in the act of adultery, taking a quick step and then squatting down with a fake crying expression. "I was the one who seduced... cough cough, I misspoke. It must be because Lord Liu Bai was working so hard to treat the general that he seemed distracted. If you want to blame someone... blame Zhen!"
Real Möbius: "..."
"I knew it..." Zhen sighed helplessly, rubbing her forehead. How could she not know what kind of person her old friend was?
When this guy is about to stir up trouble, how could he not drag everyone in the room into it?
"Tsk."
Mebius seemed to realize that he was at a disadvantage when arguing with someone as shameless and unreasonable as Kosai-miya.
Then he gave Liu Bai a look.
"You brat, just you wait."
No fight broke out... Well, it's a bit disappointing not to see women fighting, but thinking about it, if a fight really broke out, you'd have to break it up yourself.
It wasn't exactly a disappointment.
"Let's go, there's nothing for us doctors to do here, why are you just sitting next to them?"
Möbius tidied up his notes and called out to Liu Bai.
But then I realized that my tone might have been a bit too harsh.
Although she had just argued with Huzhaigong, there were some things she still had to admit... In terms of tone, she did seem to be behaving a bit like she was ordering Liu Bai around.
Well, I did give Liu Bai a lap pillow before, so Liu Bai shouldn't misunderstand, right?
"...Let's go, little white mouse."
"Yes yes~"
"Oh dear... Dr. Mebius is as dishonest as a little girl."
Just as Mebius was about to leave, a single sentence from Fox Palace made her stumble and almost fall.
"You damned fox, one day I'll skin you alive."
"I can 'shed my skin' voluntarily in Lord Liu Bai's room tonight."
"Alright, Fox Palace." With a sigh, Zhen tugged at Fox Palace's skirt, then watched the two leave before continuing to ask, "Did you go a little too far today?"
There's nothing to argue about between Zhen and Huzhaigong; they just say what they mean.
"Hmm? In what way did I cross the line?" Fox Palace feigned ignorance.
"Why say so much about Mr. Liu Bai's matter?" Zhen sighed. Hu Zhaigong's feigned ignorance always frustrated her. "We're just here for treatment. There's no need to mix in feelings other than gratitude. Mr. Liu Bai will be very troubled."
Möbius might think that the cause of the incident was her distrust of Inazuma in her advice to Liu Bai.
Mebius was in the wrong in this matter, and the other party might just forget about it as soon as they turn around.
But if you really know, there are some things in what Fox Palace said that are probably tinged with a "joking seriousness".
"...However, if you truly have any feelings for Mr. Liu Bai, as a friend, I will naturally support you."
Then, upon further reflection, a "what if" thought suddenly came to mind.
Liu Bai is good-looking and virtuous... If Fox Palace takes a liking to him, there's really no reason not to support him.
...I'm just a little worried about whether Liu Bai can adapt to the personality of Hu Zhai Gong.
—Liu Bai is almost entirely a positive figure in Zhen’s eyes.
"..."
Listening to his close friend's sincere advice, Fox Palace was at a loss for words.
Is this a case of fortunes changing?
She was just about to try to sell Zhen, but Zhen turned around and tried to sell her too?
What kind of world is this!
"Fox Abode Palace? Is there something you want to say?"
It was strange to look at the hesitant expression on Fox Palace's face.
"Hmm..." Fox Palace scratched his face and sat down on the edge of Zhenni's bed. "Zhenni, tell me the truth, how about you dreaming of Mr. Liu Bai?"
"A very good young man. His appearance... I don't need to say more about his appearance. He is bold yet meticulous, gentle in temperament, and has a mature and steady demeanor amidst his free-spiritedness. He possesses the qualities of a leader who can inspire trust. Given the current situation... I'm afraid Mr. Liu Bai will soon become a hero who can stir up the winds and waves of the world."
Zhen's evaluation of Liu Bai can be described as extremely effusive.
Fox Palace's expression grew increasingly strange.
"Then... have you considered making Liu Bai a general?"
"Eh……?"
My brain really stopped working for a moment.
"Ahem, perhaps I talked too much." Fox Palace no longer had a frivolous expression; instead, he seemed slightly embarrassed. "You've just finished eating, so you should rest well. Call me anytime if you're thirsty."
