Crippled!

As he opened his eyes again, Rick realized he couldn't move.

"Damn it! Don't tell me I'm paraplegic now! I hate spending time in the hospital.

In the end, I'll have to make some artifacts after all.

If I remember correctly, I got my ass kicked by Ox Satan.

At least I left him in bad shape too, that's the price to pay for challenging me."

His monologue was interrupted by a doctor entering the room, who ran out once he discovered my condition.

'Don't scare me, man, I'd think I'd have to stay in bed for life if it wasn't for how awesome I am'

With a sigh, Rick waited for who he assumed would be Master Roshi's second disciple.

With footsteps echoing down the corridor.

A shadow projected from the semi-transparent curtain of the medical room.

*Fiush* Ox Satan's face peeked out from the side of a drawn curtain.

"What are you doing?" Rick was confused, if he hadn't been beaten unconscious by the big guy, he wouldn't relate him to the shy ogre in front of him.

"Well! This.... Haha! You see, I didn't plan to hit you that hard. The doctor said you broke about 36 bones, not only that, but part of your spine is mush," Ox Satan mentioned.

*¡Imff!*

"What! This has to be a joke!"

Of all the things that could happen, he had to be crippled.

At this stage, there are no methods that can cure him without using technology off this planet.

Well, he could resort to the senzu beans but that would be tantamount to suicide if he goes unprepared.

This is embarrassing.

To prepare would require help.

And making the smartest person in the world humiliate himself is disappointing.

*Bling* the light bulb went on for him.

"Hey Ox! You're the king of this city, so to speak, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Do you have something like a laboratory? I'll trade you my original technique for it."

"You mean the one you beat me with in the tournament?"

"Yes! But I don't just want the lab, I want materials both pure and prefabricated and even already manufactured of every kind."

"You mean from all sciences? Like biology, agriculture, chemistry and so on?

But what about Master Roshi?

Are you going to give up just like that? Where is your pride? Why waste such talent? Is it because of the injuries..."

"Do you want it or not? Believe it or not! I have a way to cure myself even without technology, but I'm not going to waste my time on one thing for a silly thing when I could be learning from Master Roshi or on my own.

And if you're not willing to make a deal!

I'll find someone else who will!"

"So, you're not going to give up martial arts?"

"Of course not, stupid! That's what I was born to do."

"In that case, you can keep my lab, although it's not state-of-the-art, it's enough to do small experiments."

"Good! Then give me a notebook, in the next few days I'll write you the workings of my technique."

"It's not necessary, you can give it to me if you want, your treatment would be my problem anyway. Since Master Roshi accepted you as a disciple, I wanted to give you something like an initiation ceremony, I didn't think I would overdo it. If Master Roshi finds out, he may never visit me again in my life.

For Master Roshi, each disciple is like his adopted son, doing something like this among siblings is almost intolerable."

After a few days, Rick was finally able to move from the torso up.

So with that, he moved by climbing any surface.

Under the guidance of Ox Satan, he was introduced to a facility where he was transferred from a forge, a workshop equipped with everything and a laboratory suitable for chemistry.

Once he had his privacy, he began to search his system's list for quick fixes, from serums, exoskeletons, human body transformations, healing rooms, he didn't know which would be the best option, he had to be responsible, he wanted to cultivate his body so he had to leave his body within a 'cultivable' measure.

If he transforms his body into an android, what respect will he receive from his students? To be the director of a Multiversal school you need to have power and obtain it in a fair way.

Basically, you will have to become the role model and the symbol of fairness!

When one part of the apple is rotten, the whole thing will end up the same and if one rotten apple is next to other fruits, the rest will also spoil.

He had enough for some extraordinary things, but what he decided to buy was the Anti-Aging Serum from Rick 137, from his first season.

That took away most of his points.

After an avalanche of revelations, he listed what would be useful to him.

**Ingredients:**

Purified water: This would be essential to dilute the other ingredients and maintain the purity of the serum.

Pluripotent stem cells: These are undifferentiated cells that can develop into any type of cell in the body. They can be obtained from bone marrow, umbilical cord, or embryos.

Growth factors: These are proteins that stimulate the growth and repair of cells. They can be obtained from blood, placenta, or animal tissues. In our case, we would choose to investigate the option of adding hermit seeds.

Antibiotics: These are used to prevent infection of the serum.

Antioxidants: These protect cells from oxidative damage. They can be obtained from fruits, vegetables, and supplements.

To start with the creation of my medicine I would need a highly trained laboratory,

Even though I can get information on how to create one, I would need materials and renovations that I cannot currently carry out.

'My alternative would be to use Dr. Gero's lab. I don't know how to contact him without attracting attention. Since it can't be done in secret, it will be an honest proposal that he can't refuse and if he does, it will be done the hard way.

I'll have to give my disciples a few more tasks.'

'The healing serum could be used to treat a wide range of diseases, such as cancer, heart disease, and neurodegenerative diseases. So I could sell it to raise funds for my future projects.

The serum could be used to repair injuries and promote tissue regeneration.

Which would be my main goal, it would be like the technological senzu bean.

However, as it has volatile side effects, once I get its prototype, I will search my system for a solution.'

"For now I will live walking with my arms,

It will serve me as a kind of training."

After picking up the phone in the workshop, he made a few calls to proceed with his plan.
