"System, is there a way mana crystals could eradicate bacteria in a controlled way that I can use?" he asked. He expected that the system would simply refer him to buy another book or something that he could use, but that was not the case this time.

"Wait? I could have bought direct information all this time?" he asked, his expression shocked like a child that got a present he didn't expect.
"Fine, take the gold."
