Subscriber of the Gods Episode 4
Episode 4. Where is the renovation?
[Subscription Review]
‘They say there are [New World] users in various worlds. Are there any reviews about subscriptions?’
And next to it, the number of Hercules’ subscribers and likes were also displayed.
[Hercules]
Subscribers: 10.8K Likes: 10.9K
Hercules had 10,800 subscribers. He had 10,900 likes.
Since one like was required to subscribe, this effectively meant that only a hundred additional viewers watched the video.
‘That world-class Hercules only has 10,000 subscribers?’
I was surprised for a moment, but then I thought about it and it made sense.
First of all, I don’t know how many [New World] users there are.
If the number of users is in the tens of thousands, Hercules’ subscriber count is a huge number.
‘Then what about Heo Jun?’
Suddenly, I thought of Heo Jun and looked him up.
‘It’s true.’
[Heo Jun]
Subscribers: 7 Likes: 14
‘There are a lot of likes compared to subscribers. I guess this means that the people who watched the video were very satisfied?’
It was a different number from Hercules. Of course, the difference in numbers was too big to be quantified.
‘It was definitely very effective.’
It could be seen as a god because it saved Ethan from the brink of death. It was an ability that was definitely worth subscribing to in this field.
‘I asked you to write a review.’
Ethan first checked the subscription reviews of Hercules, which had a high number of subscribers.
–
“Huh? There’s a video review?”
As soon as Ethan clicked on the review, the video started playing. It felt like he was in the video.
In the video, a large man was breathing. In front of him was a fairly large rock, and he was trying to lift it.
‘It’s not a rock that can be lifted easily.’
Because it wasn’t cut cleanly, it seemed difficult to balance the weight.
‘also.’
He tried to lift the rock somehow, but he didn’t have enough strength and ended up throwing the rock forward.
Then the video changed.
-10 days after subscribing- A subtitle appeared and a man with a significantly changed body was seen. He breathed similarly to the first video and then lifted the rock.
The moment I thought to myself, “Isn’t this fake?” he split the rock he had been lifting with both hands.
-This is crazy. You can gain Hercules-level strength in 10 days?
-I read the subscription reviews carefully. I subscribed after reading them too^^
-I was hesitating which god to subscribe to when I went hunting the nine-headed hydra on Death Mountain. I subscribed after watching this video.
“Is this perfect for me right now?”
Ethan also laughed and was about to press subscribe right away.
But soon other reviews appear.
‘Should I take a closer look just in case?’
That review was also a video.
But unlike the previous reviews, this video was a video of Hercules practicing his breathing but with no results and just time passing by.
-I think the review at the very top is viral.
-It was hard to collect likes, but I subscribed to Hercules and am leaving.
-The explanation is too unfriendly and difficult to understand.
-These days, the trend is to just give the main points without any extraneous explanations. Hercules, you completely blew away the main points. It’s hard because there are so many abstract explanations.
“this.”
There were just as many negative opinions as positive ones.
Ethan thought about it for a moment, but then made up his mind.
‘Because strong power can be used anywhere.’
This can be seen as a basic, fundamental power. You can learn and build on top of this basic power.
If it’s a sword, use your strength to use the sword.
If it’s a spear, use this force to make a spear.
The advantage was that it could be used in so many different ways.
‘I can overcome my weaknesses on my own.’
It’s true that God is not kind, but you can overcome it.
‘Just understand.’
Ethan immediately subscribed to Hercules.
-You have subscribed to Hercules!
-I used Like.
“Let’s see how difficult it is.”
-[new!] Hercules’ Basic Physical Training
-[new!] How to kill a lion with bare hands
As with Heo Jun, two videos were unlocked.
Ethan immediately pressed the first video.
– Nice to meet you. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the gentlemen who took the basic physical training course. I don’t think I need to explain at length who I am. Let’s leave the trivial talk aside. What you need is this physical strength, right? The kind of strength that allows you to move for three days and nights without getting tired!
Hercules was a man of many words, more so than one might think.
Moreover, unlike Heo Jun’s time, it didn’t feel like a real lecture, and since they showed a video that was made in advance, I couldn’t ask them to hand it over.
‘Let’s take a closer look. There’s no way we won’t skip ahead.’
Ethan looked at [New World] intently.
‘There it is.’
-This is paid content.
“Crazy. Is this paid?”
-Can be unlocked with 1 million gold.
“I don’t know who made it, but I think I can trust my money to this person.”
It was a very brilliant business savvy.
– It is a physical training method consisting of twelve steps. If you can definitely do these twelve physical training methods, you too will be able to obtain physical strength like me. Okay, then I will teach you the basics first. This is the first method.
‘There are only two videos, but there are twelve physical exercises.’
Hercules also seemed to have quite a few hidden scenes.
Ethan focused his eyes on the image of Hercules without taking his eyes off it for even a moment.
The video itself was ordinary, but the breathing was different.
-I am the breath of Hercules. I train with this breath.
With Hercules’ words, Ethan learned a new skill.
-I learned the hero’s breathing.
– Added skill: Hero’s Breath (A)
-Breathe and swing just like you just learned!
“Sure, Hercules explains it abstractly. But I can still understand it.”
Ethan immediately grabbed a wooden sword. Before Ethan became so sick, he had been very skilled in swordsmanship.
I also have a 100% understanding of the Wickus sword technique that I have just learned.
‘I should try it sometime.’
He held the wooden sword and breathed. Immediately, the hero’s breathing became active and the blood inside his body began to boil rapidly.
‘This might be a little dangerous.’
This breath is basically the breath that made the hero Hercules a hero. That’s why I felt a tremendous excitement at the same time as I breathed.
‘You need to come to your senses!’
Ethan stomped his feet hard, trying to maintain his composure.
There were many skills like that among those I learned in previous plays. Skills that used the power of madness, such as going berserk, clouded my reason.
‘There are cases where you attack your allies, and there are also many cases where you die because you lose all your strength.’
Because of this, others played by basically excluding such techniques. But not Ethan.
‘The efficiency itself is enormous.’
Ethan put these techniques to great use, as they are not difficult to learn in and of themselves, but can have a huge impact.
‘Control. That’s the most important thing.’
Ethan breathed slowly and swung his sword down from top to bottom.
‘Focus.’
Never lose sight of your sanity.
Ethan suddenly began to focus.
Then he naturally swung his wooden sword. The Whicus sword technique began to unfold from his hands.
The Whikus swordsmanship was a quick swordsmanship based on speed and exhilaration. It consisted of a total of eight styles, and the last eighth style was a secret technique that brought exhilaration to its extreme.
People in the Wickus family learn this Wickus swordsmanship as a basic skill, but most of them do not reach the 8th form.
This was because the process of increasing the speed to the limit and then increasing it again was extremely difficult.
In the not-so-short history of the Counts, only three people have achieved this, and one of them was Ethan Wickers.
So the count had no choice but to become obsessed.
The young son who had reached the 8th form for the first time became sick and was on the verge of death. He wanted to save his son by any means possible.
‘I can tell for sure when I swing my sword. This is definitely a talent of the ages.’
Everything felt clear.
His breathing, the movement of his muscles. He knew in an instant which way he should move and how he should swing his sword.
‘Besides, such things appear systematically.’
From the 1st to the 8th form. This Whicus sword technique was a completely connected sword technique.
‘As the speed increases, it breaks the limit and finishes at an even faster speed when it reaches the 8th form.’
Ethan smiled faintly.
Finally, there was a possibility of growth. The moment he became immersed, this difficult training process became very fun for Ethan.
It was always like that. Once he got into it, he got absorbed every time and lost track of time.
Ethan continued his training.
* * *
About two weeks after Ethan started training at the training grounds.
News was spreading throughout the Count’s household that Ethan was training in swordsmanship.
The current lord is temporarily absent.
Because of this, many speculations and stories have been rife.
“It seems like Master Ethan is trying to regain his health. He’s been in the training room all day.”
“But you don’t have the stamina to do that. You even have difficulty walking. How can you possibly train?”
“Maybe he returned to his original state for a moment just before he passed away. My grandfather did that too.”
As all sorts of stories spread, the count’s servant, Lee Man, was grinning.
He was a man with a sinister mind.
It’s already been five years since I started working at the Count’s House.
He came to the count’s house hoping to make a lot of money. However, he realized that there was less he could do there than he had thought, and was thinking about quitting.
But five years were too much of a waste. Rather than just giving up, I wanted to make a killing and run away.
In the midst of all this, the perfect opportunity appeared.
He heard that the first Confucius, who was dying, was cultivating again. He thought this was a very good opportunity.
He secretly watched Ethan come out of the training grounds, and seeing Ethan covered in sweat convinced him that he was trying to survive.
So I approached him cautiously.
“Your Majesty. This is Lee Man.”
“what’s the matter?”
“I have figured out a way. A way to cure your illness!”
These are harsh words that can only be said to people in this condition.
He thought Ethan would definitely come over.
“Really? You figured out a way to make my body healthy?”
“Yes, it is true, Your Majesty. I went to the back alley this time.”
Riemann made a joke about discovering a great drug, which he said was quite plausible.
“I immediately thought of Master Ethan. I tried to get it for you right away, but it was too expensive… … I’m sorry.”
“How much does that medicine cost?”
“It was extremely expensive. I heard that there are already quite a few people who want to buy it, but they said they won’t sell it to just anyone. They said they’ll only sell it to those who really need it, so if you tell them your story, they’ll definitely be able to buy it!”
As he said that, he raised three fingers.
“How much is it?”
“3… … .”
Riemann trailed off for a moment, wondering how much to ask.
“300,000?”
“It’s 3 million gold, Your Majesty.”
If he was going to do it, he was going to do it big. Ethan’s eyes wavered for a moment. He was thinking hard.
‘done!’
It was obviously a loose statement, but it must have sounded real to him, who was so desperate. Lee Man was already happy as if he had won 3 million gold.
“Then come here for a moment.”
“Yes, my lord!”
Lehman, who thought he was being taken to where the hidden money was, was delighted even by the sound of the door slamming shut.
It worked. I can finally have a good go at it.
Ethan was originally a rather innocent and kind person, and was ignorant of the ways of the world except for swordsmanship.
He thought that there was no way he could doubt his words, especially since he had hardly ever gone out since he had become sick.
“So why are you doing this shit?”
But what came back was a cold expression and rough speech.
I never dreamed that such a kind and gentleman would say something like that.
“Your Majesty? Why are you saying that? I am serious. I am not lying.”
Leeman was ignorant. In any case, his opponent couldn’t even control his body properly. If he were to release his mana and apply pressure, his body would be in a state where he could pass out.
But Ethan laughed.
“I was just trying to check the results of my ten-day training, and it’s perfect.”
Ethan picked up the wooden sword and swung it at Liman.
“Where did you get your nonsense? How could your father not have discovered the expensive medicine you discovered?”
