Chapter 1331: Experimental group (4)
Pharmacist Hyangrok poured considerable dedication and passion into experiments evaluating drug efficacy.
Skilled in both medicine and cooking, Hyangrok’s current main focus was pharmacology. He studied how drugs affected ability waves and the body, incorporating not only modern pharmacology and medicine but also changes caused by conflicts in the Otherworld.
To that end, Hyangrok conducted various experiments using funds secured from valuable elixirs and experimental subjects. He researched new drugs, tested, evaluated, and verified them to complete the medicines.
‘The Tigers paid a heavy price for those elixirs that taste bad enough to kill tongues and souls.’
Currently, Hyangrok’s main funding source and experimental collaborator was the Ho clan.
Since the mastermind had already acquired means like ability poisons and frenzy inducers, countermeasures were needed on this front as well.
Therefore, the Ho clan observed Hyangrok’s research, helped with experiments, and shared the results.
“Hyangrok seemed impressed by the wicked darkness he saw during the school trip. Noticing how that darkness amplified the effects of the frenzy inducer, he started new experiments.”
“Wicked darkness is beyond our control. How can it be regulated enough to experiment on?”
“Sometimes experiments are done even on uncontrollable subjects. Sometimes the impossibility of control is why it’s attempted.”
That made sense.
Though climate change or natural disasters are uncontrollable, experiments are conducted to predict their impact or future activity.
