Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1548 Regenerated Teeth

"Okay, next time."

Do you want a next time?

"No, no. As for dragons, one is enough—really enough. Why would I keep so many dragons?"

[You'd better stop now, because one dragon is already a headache enough. If our house becomes a dragon's den, then we'll probably never have a peaceful day again.]

"So you agree to let me keep Xiao Hong at home?"

【Don't actually treat her like a pet. Only Zhu Ling can calmly treat them like pets. Keeping these weird things will cause trouble.】

"Oh dear, they're not really pets."

"Then let me ask you, if Xiaohong isn't a pet, then what is her position in our family?"

He was still thinking about this problem when he got home in Shangluo that evening—it was indeed a problem worth pondering.

"What are you thinking about?" Phaethon opened the door. "Why do I see you deep in thought as soon as I open the door?"

He's pondering a philosophical question to get our approval for him keeping a dragon at home.

Phaethon stood at the door and stopped Shangluo: "No, we already have a Roman emperor in our family, we can't keep any more pets."

"Please, I will feed the dragon properly, and I will take it for a walk."

【? ? ? 】

"No. You said the same thing when the Roman emperor came, but now I'm the one taking care of her every day."

What indecent things are you two saying?! Can Victoria hear me?!

"Tsk, just kidding." Faetong took the bag from Shangluo's hand.

"So, can I keep it?"

"No. Xiaohong needs to discuss this with us before she comes back, and yesterday was a special case. Even if she comes again, I should be the one brushing her teeth. You don't need to worry about it."

"Oh"

At dinner, Victoria was in even better spirits—mainly because Yanqiu had been staying home with her these past few days. The two got along very well, mainly because neither of them liked going out and they had both been freed from their demanding work schedules. In this situation, they both developed a love for playing video games, since video games were the only thing they could play without leaving home.

"Wait a moment before we eat." Shang Luo took out a dental endoscope, which he had been carrying with him for the past two days because Yan Qiu was staying with him to recuperate—after all, the Jinling Hotel couldn't provide a full range of dental equipment to ensure the safety of a Qi cultivator. In case of any sudden infection, it could be treated in time at Shang Luo's house.

"Yes, the tooth has already erupted." With the help of a dental endoscope, Shangluo observed the condition of the implant from last time.

This is the world's first implant. Although it's just a tooth, Shangluo plans to closely monitor the entire process.

Ultimately, whether it succeeds or not depends on whether a new path to improving people's well-being can be opened up.

Zhu Xianxi did indeed have a panacea, but it was still in the planning stages—a crucial issue remained: drug resistance. Zhu Xianxi was also worried that widespread use of the panacea might lead to the emergence of drug-resistant superbugs, similar to the overuse of antibiotics.

The stubborn germs on Yanqiu's body speak volumes—although the bacteria on her weren't drug-resistant, but rather superbugs that had been significantly enhanced. This still necessitates vigilance. However, Yanqiu's recovery was quite good. This might be because her constitution wasn't particularly strong, so she didn't actually cultivate any uncontrollable superbugs.

However, for Yanqiu's most basic safety, Shangluo himself still needs to take care of her.

What do my teeth look like now?

"Can't you see it when you brush your teeth?"

"I can't see it very clearly. I can only feel a tiny tooth when I lick it with my tongue."

"When you were a child, didn't your parents tell you that you shouldn't lick your teeth randomly when they're coming in? You might end up with crooked teeth and need orthodontics."

"what?"

"Oh, by the way, you were actually going to get orthodontics anyway. After all, those are extra teeth, which could cause malocclusion—but don't worry, it's just routine dental care."

"But Shangluo, we're about to start filming, I can't wear braces, can I?"

“This is a minor medical issue,” Shang Luo thought for a moment. “It’s nothing serious. Since we’ve come this far, whether it looks good or not is just a matter of a few simple steps. If you don’t want to undergo orthodontic treatment through natural means, you can use some magic or divine arts.”

“You can use magic,” Victoria reminded her. “That’s a specialty of magic.”

"Do you have any magic that can heal teeth?" Yanqiu asked. She was very concerned about this, because the crew was about to start filming, and it was a matter of life and death.

Because the production crew only had one camera—a disadvantage of the local King Lingguan movie. This film utilizes special magic lenses during filming, allowing a large portion of the special effects to be created on-set. And there was only one such camera, provided by Rome.

Like many other magical items, this is a unique piece.

This means that all of Yanqiu's major scenes could only be filmed in a single, concentrated manner, resulting in an extremely demanding workload. If she were to have an unsightly braces on top of that, the entire crew would go crazy.

Because the footage shot with that main camera could actually remove things like braces.

However, a large part of routine cleaning can be done with a regular camera—if Yanqiu is wearing braces that absolutely need to be treated, then all shots involving Yanqiu will have to use that main camera.

Just thinking about it made Yanqiu feel like she was facing a social death, that she would become a burden to the crew.

Furthermore, the film adaptation of "Wang Lingguan" places high demands on the protagonist from a narrative perspective—her portrayal of Wang Lingguan is absolutely central, with a massive amount of screen time, leaving her with virtually no rest on set. This is also a limitation of traditional filming methods.

If the narrative can be improved in the future, it could save Yanqiu some trouble. But for now, she can only prepare in advance.

"It's simple if you want it quick. We have a demon god there who can heal teeth."

Shangluo asked in surprise, "What kind of name is it... 'The Demon God Who Prevents Teeth from Growing Crooked'?"

"No. Her name is Tooth Fairy."

Tooth Fairy, a name so simple it couldn't be simpler, is quite rare among the magic used by the Romans—because the names of other spells are generally quite long.

"So this Tooth Fairy also handles orthodontics? Her business must be thriving."
