Chapter 23: The Special Medicine for Cancer.
“Okay, no problem,” Mr. W responded with a smile. He patted his chest and assured Fang Jian that he would have everything ready within ten days. Fang Jian, observing his attitude, knew that things were looking promising.
He cleared his throat and asked, “Mr. W, have you heard of a disease called neuroblastoma?”
Mr. W looked puzzled and replied, “I’m sorry, I have never heard of it.”
It was normal for him not to have heard of it since everyone specialized in different areas. Fang Jian hadn’t heard of it before, either. If it weren’t for Liu Yuanyuan, he would still be unaware.
“I have a friend who recently underwent surgery for this disease, but there is a lack of related medication for the postoperative phase. Can you help me find some effective drugs?” Asked Fang Jian.
Mr. W furrowed his brow and hesitated, “Well…”
“Cough, we’ve done business several times and are now friends,” Fang Jian cleared his throat and played the sentimental card, “You can call me Fang Jian.”
Mr. W immediately smiled and said, “I’m called Zhuge Erma. Please take care of me, Mr. Fang.”
Fang Jian nodded repeatedly but internally found it strange. This guy just talks nonsense all the time.
He’s not trustworthy.
“Mr. Fang, is the disease you mentioned… a type of cancer?” Zhuge Erma asked.
“In legends?”
Fang Jian smiled and replied, “It seems so, but I’m not quite sure.”
“But there have been effective drugs for cancer for centuries. Haven’t heard much about this disease in recent centuries, right?” Zhuge Erma questioned.
Fang Jian silently looked at him and slowly said, “We are in a remote area here, and supplies are difficult to keep up with.”
Zhuge Erma’s expression suddenly changed, and Fang Jian asked, “Are you… part of the Separatist Army?”
“Split Army?” Zhuge Erma asked tentatively.
Fang Jian was still guessing when Zhuge Erma immediately added, “Cough, Mr. Fang Jian, I don’t know anything. I’m just an ordinary merchant who trades with you, right?”
Fang Jian nodded slowly, his face expressionless.
“Alright, I can have the things you need ready by tomorrow. Can we make the trade tomorrow?” Zhuge Erma asked.
Fang Jian raised an eyebrow and replied, “Prepared by tomorrow?”
Zhuge Erma smiled and said, “Yes, you can just order the special drug to treat cancer at any pharmacy, and it will be available tomorrow. As for the Dragon V3 bio-armor, I have two sets in my shop, and I can give you one set.”
Fang Jian finally felt relieved.
What a relief!
Can the special drug to treat cancer be ordered casually at a pharmacy? Fang Jian would have thought he was buying common cold or fever medication if it weren’t for the word “cancer.”
However, since the other party said so, Fang Jian naturally had no reason to refuse. The trade between the two parties went smoothly. Zhuge Erma provided him with the special drug and ten doses of it. According to him, in his era, most cancer cases could be resolved by taking a dose of a special drug. However, if it was discovered too late…
Even a thousand years later, there were strange cases, like in modern times, where some people neglect simple illnesses, leading to complications and death. So, it was not surprising that such cases still occurred.
However, the technology a thousand years later was incredibly advanced. Even if only a breath is left, various methods could save a person. Faced with severe conditions, doctors were not even necessary. All that was required was to inject specially designed nanosurgical robots into the patient’s body, get a good night’s sleep, and ensure sufficient nutrition to achieve a cure.
Therefore, after obtaining the ten doses of the special drug for cancer, Fang Jian also breathed a sigh of relief. But what truly touched his heart was a watch. It was an ordinary-looking watch with the imprint of Dragon V3 on the dial. This was the super-powered personal protective gear that seemed capable of anything, as Fang Jian saw in the informational video.
Along with the watch, ten small chips the size of fingernails were also sent. It was said that the energy contained in each chip was enough to support an intense battle, even against powerful creatures from other planets, like dinosaurs, that ordinary gunpowder bullets couldn’t penetrate.
After storing the items safely, Zhuge Erma suddenly asked, “Mr. Fang, may I ask if you can find pre-Great Destruction paintings in your area?” Seeing Fang Jian’s curious expression, he quickly added, “If you can find them, the price is negotiable, and I will do my best to satisfy you.”
