Subscriber of the Gods Episode 3
Episode 3. When you build up your achievements
The basis of false acupuncture was accuracy. The moment you insert it in a slightly different spot, it could harm your health rather than being effective.
‘Control is important.’
Ethan concentrated his mind and casted the Illusion Needle. As the skill was activated, a needle appeared in Ethan’s previously empty hand.
A needle made of mana.
‘I got needles all over my body.’
Ethan kept replaying Heo Jun’s video to check the location of the acupuncture points. He kept thinking about where he should place the needles to make them effective.
My memory isn’t that bad, so I was able to remember it right away.
‘Both thighs, shoulders, pubic area, forehead.’
And there were other blood vessels as well. These blood vessels were the paths through which mana traveled.
‘The mana road is too narrow to see the effect.’
But that doesn’t mean you can give up.
Ethan repeated the acupuncture over and over again throughout the day.
– You have understood the false acupuncture. Your proficiency increases by 0.3 percent.
“Oh, my skill level is improving faster than I thought.”
0.3 percent.
It wasn’t a small number. At this rate, it seemed like he could quickly make false acupuncture his own.
“and…….”
Originally, Ethan had planned to eat a medicinal rice cake made from a mixture of herbs tonight. It was a different recipe from the potion, but he thought of another method.
‘There was definitely a video of Heo Jun making herbal medicine.’
I only learned acupuncture earlier because I was in a hurry, but I’m sure I can learn how to make herbal medicine too.
It was time to combine the hidden herbs.
Late that night.
Ethan headed to the magic lab.
This magic lab was originally meant for Nathan Wickus. However, it was empty because Nathan Wickus was at the Academy.
Although they didn’t have a ton of materials or tools, they still had most of the tools needed to mix herbs.
‘The Counts of Wickes are not such a great family.’
Among the prominent families in this area, you could name the Yurahan Counts, who had enormous wealth despite being part of the same Counts’ family, and the Dren Marquis family, whose head was one of the Twelve Stars, one of the twelve strongest families on the continent.
‘There are three gods above the twelve constellations.’
Above the Twelve Constellations, there were three powerful beings who were considered absolute powers. The Holy Emperor, the Emperor of the Holy Empire, the Demon Emperor, the Emperor of the Magic Empire, and the Sword Tower Lord, the owner of the Sword Tower that existed between the two empires.
‘Anyway, there are strongmen from the Twelve Stars around here, so the unremarkable Count Wickers family won’t be able to exert any power.’
That’s why, if it weren’t for Nathan Wickers, this magic lab would never have been created in the first place.
Ethan arrived at the magic lab and spread out the herbs he had brought by type.
And then [New World] opened.
-Would you like to watch Heo Jun’s video of making herbal medicine?
The acupuncture and herbal medicine sections were open to the public for free. Ethan immediately started playing the video.
Just like when I watched the acupuncture video, images began to unfold vividly before my eyes.
-There is one thing that is most important when making a herbal medicine. That is controlling the heat. If you don’t control the heat properly, it won’t be a herbal medicine, it will just be something bitter.
Heo Jun said with a serious face.
-Poison can be medicine. On the other hand, medicine can be poison. So, don’t draw a line between poison and medicine.
Ethan focused on the video and tried to remember Heo Jun’s words as best as he could.
After a while, the video ended.
-I learned the Heoryu Herbal Medicine (A)!
“done.”
Ethan immediately gathered the herbs he had spread out properly.
‘Make half of it into rice cakes and eat it. Make the rest into a herbal medicine and eat it.’
No matter how excellent acupuncture is, it doesn’t completely eliminate the decaying mana.
‘If you eat this, you can get rid of all the rotten mana that has accumulated.’
If that happens, one cough won’t kill you. Even if it doesn’t cure the disease itself, it might relieve the symptoms to some extent.
Ethan took out a pot of suitable size, poured the herb clumps into it, and turned on the heat.
Hwaruk-.
Before long, the herbal medicine began to boil.
“Stir constantly. Don’t stop.”
Making the herbal medicine itself was easy. All I had to do was stir it while casting the skill.
‘Control the fire. And keep stirring without stopping!’
Since the materials were not abundant, they could not be wasted.
So Ethan devoted himself to making the herbal medicine.
-I made a beginner’s herbal medicine!
-Rating in progress… …
-Beginner’s Herbal Medicine [D Grade]
“hmm.”
The resulting herbal medicine was of grade D. It was not a bad grade for a first-timer.
‘The smell of medicine is vibrating.’
The better the medicine, the more unpleasant the smell. Ethan took the herbal medicine with the herbal balls without hesitation.
Gulp, gulp.
Ethan took a sip without hesitation.
“oh.”
As soon as I ate, I got a signal from my body. A hot energy settled in my lower abdomen and moved fiercely to my fingertips.
smart.
The energy that had instantly reached his fingertips sent something black flowing out from Ethan’s fingertips.
“You’re crazy.”
Ethan was impressed by Heo Jun’s herbal medicine.
I didn’t expect such a dramatic effect.
Even if you make a potion with your own skills, it will only have a certain effect.
‘You need to be a Grade A alchemist to create a potion with such an immediate effect.’
The surprise was short-lived, but something began to appear in Ethan’s eyes.
-You have achieved the challenge!
-Achievement Completed! You’ll get likes based on the difficulty of the challenge you completed!
-You got ‘1’ like!
“uh?”
Ethan looked at the notification message he received and was confused.
I had no idea there would be challenges. This was an element that was originally part of the game, but this place was nothing like the game.
What’s more surprising is that it got likes.
“Getting likes?”
Ethan’s eyes opened wide.
When I completed the challenge, I got more likes.
“So, do I get likes every time I achieve an achievement, like clearing a challenge?”
Ethan smiled without realizing it.
‘So that’s what it was like?’
Then things are different.
Ethan currently had a number of tasks on his mind.
This achievement system, also known as achievements, was an element that made the game more immersive by allowing players to enjoy various contents while playing the game.
So there were quite a few users who aimed to achieve all the achievements, and Ethan also had cleared all the achievements.
“Achievement window.”
At that point, when I had no inventory, I didn’t even think about calling up the other windows. They were things I didn’t need right now.
-Achievement! Challenge!-
Current achievements: 1 / 999
“Something is a little different.”
Ethan looked at the assignment window and touched his chin.
Because the amount and the quantity he knew were different.
‘There were definitely 382.’
Achievements that have increased to 999.
Moreover, given the nature of these numbers, there is a possibility that they will increase further.
Also, of the 382 accomplishments he knew of, none of them were the ones he had just done.
As a user who has cleared all achievements, I can confirm this.
‘Basically, the assignments were mostly basic ones, dungeon-related ones, and ones related to the main scenario.’
There were many fun achievements in various ways. Some were based on location, some were based on the job you got, and some were just completely difficult to complete.
‘There were also tasks that could only be accomplished by making a name for yourself as a great wizard or sword master.’
It seems that the number of likes you can get is different depending on the difficulty level.
“then.”
You can increase your likes by starting with achievements that you can achieve right now.
‘You will be able to utilize [the new world] better.’
* * *
“Huh. Huh.”
The training room in the Count’s house.
Originally, this training room was the place Ethan used when he was in good health.
After Ethan became so sick, no one used it, so it became a place that the Count’s servants rarely visited.
‘I didn’t know basic physical training could be this difficult.’
It’s impossible to train properly with just the normal methods. Since I don’t have basic physical strength, I had to build up basic physical strength for at least two months, no, three months before I could do anything.
“Whew. Whoosh.”
Ethan spent a week focusing on basic physical training. Apparently, there was an achievement that could be achieved by increasing basic physical strength among the achievements.
-You have achieved the achievement!
-[Physical strength is beyond the level of a newborn!] You have earned likes by achieving the achievement.
-You got ‘1’ like!
This brings my total number of likes to two.
“good!”
‘I’m not sure, but it doesn’t seem like everything has changed. It’s likely that new information has been added to what I knew.’
There is only one, but it has been proven that the existing achievements are still valid, so now it is just a matter of proving them one by one.
“Let’s clear them one by one, starting with the easy ones.”
* * *
-You have achieved the achievement!
-You have achieved the achievement!
Ethan continued to achieve basic achievements.
Originally, this achievement was a type of quest created to level up or obtain items in the early stages of the game.
Because of this, there were many things with low difficulty and many things that were easy to achieve.
“With this, we’ve achieved everything we could achieve in the beginning.”
As I continued to repeat basic physical training and false acupuncture and focused on achieving achievements, I gained a total of five likes and my body was in pretty good condition.
“It’s not enough… … .”
Because his condition was so bad, he was not yet able to properly demonstrate the power of the Whicus swordsmanship.
So Ethan decided to subscribe to a new god with all the likes he had accumulated so far.
Because I thought I needed more help than just watching Heo Jun’s videos.
‘Let’s take a look.’
If you’ve already had help with survival once, then there must be a suitable god who can train your basic physical strength.
If you subscribe to that god, there will definitely be a way to quickly increase your basic stamina.
Ethan opened [New World], a platform where one can subscribe to gods again.
-Currently subscribed to: 1
– Check your current situation. Algorithmizing the gods that suit you… …
-The god you are currently subscribed to is Heo Jun. We are checking your interests centered around Heo Jun… … .
“I guess it’s because the gods themselves created it. Even the algorithm is set up so well.”
Charararak-.
The list of gods was reorganized, and at the very top, a video appeared with a roughly made lion skin as a thumbnail.
The person who uploaded the video is a hero god from Greek mythology.
– Hercules’ Basic Physical Strength Lecture [Difficulty: Medium]
“I need to subscribe right now.”
Hercules was a powerful god who was also famous for his physical beauty. His video lectures would definitely be able to build up basic physical strength efficiently.
“Wait a minute. What is this?”
Ethan was about to subscribe when he discovered something new.
