Chapter 2447: 2362 Believe in Science (Alliance Lord Bangjin Bonus Chapter 2)

"Normally speaking, it can be treated." Zheng Ren said cautiously, "But your condition... I think it's different from others."

"If it were an ordinary person, after acquiring partial lipid malnutrition, they would have many comorbid diseases. But Ke Li said he saw you dancing by the campfire of the caravan when you were five; I don't know when that was, but you still look quite healthy now."

"If treating, I suggest first going to the hospital for examination, then proceeding with symptomatic treatment. Some research institutes recommend injecting leptin to control fat metabolism, which may have a certain effect on acquired partial lipid malnutrition."

"……"

Zheng Ren said a lot, suggesting cosmetic treatment, extracting fat from the lower limbs and transplanting it to the upper body and face. Adding symptomatic treatment and other plans, he spoke for nearly ten minutes.

After he finished speaking, Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian smiled and asked, "Zheng, can Ma Li Si come to you for you to complete the cosmetic treatment?"

"I'm not a cosmetic doctor." Zheng Ren bluntly refused Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian's suggestion.

Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian expressed regret over this, while Ma Li Si put on that black robe and performed a strange and elaborate ritual.

"Then that's it, goodbye." Zheng Ren said with a smile.

"Ke Li, come have some garlic fish when you have time!" Su Yun said with a laugh and then ended the video call.

"Boss, your guess is pretty accurate." Su Yun said.

"This is rich clinical experience." Zheng Ren said lightly, "Just a glance and I basically know what's going on."

"Can't you stop bragging?"

"Can."

"Boss, you really think it's a disease? Ke Li and his gang are all mysterious; I really don't want to deal with them."

"If we reluctantly call it a curse, that could also be an explanation, but it's not supernatural power but more cutting-edge technology." Zheng Ren said.

"How so? At the molecular level?"

"Yes. Acquired partial lipid malnutrition, current research shows most cases are related to a DNA helicase encoded by the RECQL2 gene. If there were newer technology that could alter genes, explaining it as a curse would also work."

"Boss, you could go pretend to be a god or ghost. With that face of yours, you look more trustworthy than Dahungya."

"However, I think a radical cure is impossible; if it's not fatal, we can do cosmetic surgery, transplanting fat from the lower limbs to the upper body lacking fat." Zheng Ren said.

"Can you do it?" Su Yun asked.

"This is a major undertaking; it's not just simple transplantation, but also involves a series of issues such as skin elasticity, fat liquefaction, and so on."

Ma Li Si's upper body has been devoid of fat for too long; it's impossible to inject too much fat all at once. Su Yun, thinking about how to fix the "puppet" completed by that clumsy craftsman, and imagining Ma Li Si with an upper body like a desiccated corpse and a lower body like a hippopotamus, felt her head swell to twice its size.

"I should be able to do it." Zheng Ren said: "It's just a bit troublesome."

"Boss, I sincerely admire you." Su Yun's tone of contempt overflowed, and she even used "nin" once more to emphasize her tone.

"Being able to perform the surgery is expected; what's there to admire?" Zheng Ren chuckled.

"She's a witch."

"You're not a medieval person; believe in science. Witches simply don't exist, nor will there be any prophets; put simply, that's all feudal superstition." Zheng Ren said with a smile.

"Just seeing them makes me feel uncomfortable all over; I'll say this up front: if you operate on her, I won't lift a finger." Su Yun said firmly.

"I also won't operate on her." Zheng Ren said, "Ke Li should know many doctors in cosmetic plastic surgery; our main focus is still on TIPS surgery."

"It's truly rare that you can still maintain a clear mind."

"Stop talking nonsense, get ready to sleep." Zheng Ren returned the tablet to Su Yun, got up to chat with Xie Yiren for a while, then washed up and went to sleep.

"……"

"……"

In the castle of the Alps, Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian Bu Lu He sat elegantly on an old chair, smiling at the opposite Ma Li Si hidden in the black robe.

After cutting off the video link, the two people in the room remained silent, each lost in thought.

"Lord Ke Li, thank you." Ma Li Si suddenly raised her head and said from behind the shadow of the black robe.

"Cooperate with me, and you won't regret it." Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian said.

"I'll consider the cooperation later; you said Doctor Zheng, will he perform the surgery?" Ma Li Si asked.

Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian was not angered by Ma Li Si's refusal; his smile remained elegant. His deep eyes seemed like the universe, with countless stars in the boundless darkness.

"Zheng will certainly perform the surgery; he's not just a diagnostician." Ke Li laughed and said, "But from what I heard Zheng mean, he should be refusing."

In the darkness, Ma Li Si saw the crystal ball before her flickering with light, not dazzling, as if a beam of light was wandering inside.

"Do you need me to introduce you to the best plastic surgeons in Europe, or even the whole world?" Ke Li asked.

"No need." Ma Li Si refused without hesitation, "I'll go back to arrange some things, and in a few months go to the capital to see Doctor Zheng."

Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian showed no surprise; he seemed to have anticipated this all along.

"I still need to trouble Lord Ke Li for a bit of help."

"No problem." Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian smiled and said, "Are you sure Zheng is a prophet?"

"Not sure; it's been many years since a prophet last appeared." Ma Li Si said softly, "But my mother told me before she passed away that I would one day meet a prophet who could turn me into a normal woman, and then I could return to the campfire and dance freely."

"You don't even have a caravan anymore." Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian laughed.

"Time is for wandering, life is for forgetting. Whether this world has caravans or not doesn't matter; as long as I have it in my heart, that's enough. If I had no experiences, I wouldn't know what was worth forgetting."

"Your thinking is really strange; life is for finding ways to achieve immortality, otherwise it's all waste." Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian said.

People of two different races always have all sorts of differing worldviews; regarding the meaning of life, each has their own understanding.

As for that, they had no intention of continuing the discussion.

"Lord Ke Li, you still haven't told me whether Doctor Zheng will perform the surgery." Ma Li Si asked.

"Of course, he's the best surgeon in the world, second to none." Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian replied elegantly, "You've made a very wise choice."

"Thank you."

"Do you really think it's a disease?"

"I think it's a curse. But whether it's a disease or a curse, if Zheng can make me no longer this ugly, why wouldn't I choose his friendship?"

"Still so stubborn, just like Zheng." Ke Li shrugged.

"I can't see the future clearly, only able to see a little more than ordinary people. But you said, Lord Luo Qie personally went to the capital to express his goodwill; for me, isn't that enough?"

"I have a research institute; the disease Zheng mentioned seems to have also been researched to the genetic level. Do you need my help?" Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian asked.

"Two sharp gazes shot from beneath the black hood, staring at Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian opposite."

"Really, just like your mother, I only want to help." Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian said: "Your stubbornness… forget it, tell me when you want to go to Di Du, although I really don't want to leave here, but for the sake of my friendship with you……"

"Our friendship?" Ma Li Si said coldly: "If you weren't so curious about the so-called disease research, perhaps there would be."

"You're just like everyone else, stubborn and conservative. I'm a different kind of person, I believe in science." Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian laughed: "Without the initial research, without diagnosis and publication on similar patients, Zheng would be impossible……"

"No, the Prophet Almighty is omnipotent." Ma Li Si said in a deep voice.

"Then there's nothing more to say; just let me know in advance when you go to Di Du to find Zheng, that's my promise." Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian didn't try to bring up the topic again.

"Among them, past events even involved internal struggles within the Bruhl Family and the secrets of two families that have been inherited since the Middle Ages."

"Watching the bright light of the crystal ball before him fade, watching Ma Li Si leave, Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian remained still. After a long while, he seemed to have understood something, murmuring: 'Luo Qie, Sir is right.'"
