"No! Originium is meant for this!"
"I'm the executor of the Originium Project. Wouldn't I know whether Originium is meant to beautify appearances?"
Prescis looked suspicious.
As the executor of the Originium Project, hearing that Chen Li wanted to turn Originium into a beautification pack, Prescis now wore the same expression Nobel would have worn while looking at a doctor claiming nitroglycerin could treat his heart disease.
I, the father of dynamite, spent half my life researching nitroglycerin. I used it to blow up my father and my brother. How could I not know whether this stuff could treat heart disease?
"Heh, I'm just informing you, not discussing it with you."
Chen Li reminded her.
"...But I still need to research how to move the Internalized Universe to New Penacony. I can't split myself in two."
"But I can. This Miraculous Item is called Ephemeral Bloom... you don't need to worry about its effect, because it has no effect at all. Its only use is letting you create a clone."
Chen Li handed a Negative Artifact to Prescis.
"..." Prescis had already learned from Ruan Mei about the wonders of Miraculous Items, but she had never imagined that the first Miraculous Item she received would be because Chen Li needed her to work two jobs.
"I think I might need the Doctor's assistance..." Seeing that she could not evade the matter, Prescis took the opportunity to make a suggestion.
"Got it."
Chen Li nodded.
"And there is another issue. Originium is highly invasive. If one is accidentally infected with Originium and lacks medical care and nutritional support, their lifespan may be reduced to several decades or even just a few years. Even if they survive, crystallization symptoms will severely affect their quality of life."
Prescis issued a solemn warning.
"What?"
