Chapter 237: What is that?
“It’s incredibly grandiose.”
To be able to revive even the dead.
‘In mythology, they really could revive the dead.’
Even if it couldn’t actually revive the dead, it was likely to be a god with definite abilities. After all, the grandiose nicknas given by the algorithm were often based on legends.
Moreover, since gods were so prideful, they didn’t mix even a bit of falsehood when introducing themselves.
‘It’s not a problem even if it doesn’t actually give the ability to revive. If it has skills that impressive, it’s worth subscribing to.’
This was a god recomnded by the upgraded algorithm. It ant this god’s abilities would be of great help in overcoming Ethan’s current situation.
Ethan pressed subscribe without hesitation.
-You subscribe to Asclepius, the god of dicine who revives even the dead.
-The number of likes needed is ’20’.
“Asclepius.”
The number of likes needed for the subscription was the sa as when he subscribed to Hua Tuo before.
It was an unfamiliar na he was hearing for the first ti, but judging by the intonation, it seed to be a god from Greek and Roman mythology.
“Oh.”
As soon as he subscribed to Asclepius, he saw shorts.
“Shorts are really trending, I see.”
Ethan first checked Asclepius’s subscription reviews.
-Thanks to [Only subscribed to the right gods], many gods are using shorts. It’s great that I can decide on subscriptions after watching shorts, so there’s no chance of making a wrong choice.
-Why weren’t they doing this good thing before?
-Shorts are short videos, so it seems the gods didn’t feel much rit in them.
-Whew, this is my fifth subscription, and I’m so happy that every god I subscribe to is exactly the one I was looking for. The first and second gods I subscribed to were completely different from my expectations and caused trouble. Ɍ𝓪ΝỌ𐌱Ёš
‘This is the positive function of shorts.’
Subscribers who have tasted shorts can’t go back to the old ways.
Then other gods will swallow their pride and make shorts, and they’ll realize how difficult it is to make intuitive shorts.
‘It’s not easy for to make them either.’
As shorts spread like this, everyone will eventually look for [Only subscribed to the right gods].
This was exactly what Ethan was aiming for.
‘There’s nothing but benefits to raising my reputation.’
More gods will seek out Ethan and send him letters, and Ethan will naturally be able to beco their premium subscriber.
Not only that, but he could also receive direct education through collaborations.
‘Reputation plays a very important role whether in the New World or on the continent.’
Ethan checked Asclepius’s videos.
There were more than 10 uploaded videos, and befitting the na of the god of dicine, most were videos about treatnt thods.
“There’s a collaboration video?”
And a collaboration video already existed.
“This is a na I’ve heard too.”
It was Hippocrates, a na that probably most people have heard.
[dicine is a science and an art – Video with Hippocrates]
‘They take the Hippocratic Oath when graduating from dical school.’
Since it’s a na that’s often exposed in various dia, it would be safe to say that almost no one doesn’t know Hippocrates.
Ethan was planning to watch the basic video along with two collaboration videos first.
‘I’ll negotiate after getting Asclepius’s abilities. I’ll ask for both subscriber collaboration and premium subscriber status.’
[The first step in dicine starts with selecting ingredients]
Ethan first watched the most basic video.
Swoosh-.
-Greetings, I am a doctor called Asclepius.
Asclepius was holding a staff, and Ethan felt a familiar sense of déjà vu as soon as he saw that staff.
A long staff with a snake coiled around it.
‘I’ve seen that a lot, that.’
That staff was often used as a symbol of dicine in various logos.
Asclepius, holding his distinctive snake staff, briefly explained his abilities.
-Hygiene and elixirs. My dical skills can be said to consist of these two things. It’s about thoroughly disinfecting the wound site so that pathogens can’t even breathe. On top of that, I create elixirs with powerful herbs and feed them.
‘It feels like suppressing the root of the disease.’
And then finishing it off with an elixir.
-You have learned Hygienic Healing.
-Skill added: Hygienic Healing (S)
-You have learned Radiant Herbal Arts.
-Skill added: Radiant Herbal Arts (S)
-My radiant dical skills can extract strong effects from ordinary herbs. Of course, I can’t create sothing out of nothing. It’s just about fully drawing out the potential that herbs possess. In addition, I can combine herbs to draw out even more powerful effects. And most importantly, there’s one thing. I can use all herbs. No matter how difficult an herb is to handle, it becos as docile as a lamb before these radiant hands.
Ethan had knowledge of nurous herbs.
It was knowledge gained from making nurous potions directly while clearing Pan multiple tis. That knowledge was also of great help after learning Heo’s Decoction Technique.
‘Herbs that can be used. I mainly used herbs with good effects among them.’
Among the many herbs, there were many that even Ethan couldn’t use.
Despite having good effects, they were extrely difficult to handle, so sotis he had to use other herbs instead.
‘If I can handle all herbs with Radiant Herbal Arts.’
He could make much better elixirs than now.
‘It will synergize with Heo’s Decoction Technique. Definitely.’
Ethan then watched the next video. It was a collaboration video with Hippocrates.
Asclepius was standing quite awkwardly with Hippocrates, who was holding a staff similar to his own.
-Um, this is my long-ti junior. Hippocrates, greet them.
-Nice to et you, subscribers. I’m Hippocrates.
Hippocrates was visibly nervous.
The way he kept glancing at his senior Asclepius showed that he found the situation very burdenso.
‘Gods aren’t much different.’
-Hippocrates has a power based on human healing ability. It can be seen as a kind of healing enhancent.
-Ah, so. My power is…
-It’s an excellent power. I’ll explain it in detail.
Throughout the collaboration video, Asclepius kept interrupting Hippocrates. Moreover, he was snatching away all the words Hippocrates was trying to say.
He seed to be trying to take care of him as a fellow Greek god, but Hippocrates’ lips trembled every ti his words were taken away.
‘He’s angry.’
But Asclepius’s explanation was too excellent.
It was clearly Hippocrates’ ability, but as he continued watching the video, it felt like he was hearing about Asclepius’s ability.
-So…
-It enhances healing power!
-You have learned Kos Healing. ( )[1]TLN: Either it’s Kos or Course. I don’t know what the author trying to say here. But from what I found, Kos is the sacred land of Asclepius. And it is also an island in Greece
-Skill added: Healing Enhancent (S)
In the end, Ethan learned Hippocrates’ ability with Asclepius’s explanation as the finale.
Hippocrates tried to explain sothing more at the end of the video but eventually closed his mouth.
Since Asclepius had explained everything perfectly, there was nothing more to add.
-Thank you.
The only full sentence Hippocrates managed to utter was the closing remark at the very end of the video.
“As expected of a god recomnded by the enhanced algorithm. At this level, it’s not just about synergy, but a god that must be subscribed to.”
It seed there would be no better god when it ca to treatnt.
Ethan, who had gained three abilities from just two videos, left a ssage in Asclepius’s subscription review section.
It was a ssage saying he wanted to talk.
Less than 5 minutes after leaving the ssage, a reply ca from Asclepius.
-Let’s talk right away!
The urgency was palpable in the ssage.
***
Thud-!
Asclepius, holding his snake staff, slowly revealed himself.
“[Only subscribed to the right gods] subscriber! To think I’d see you like this. Hahaha! Now my channel is just about to take off!”
Asclepius looked extrely pleased.
“To be able to treat more people! There’s nothing more joyous than this!”
“Hello, Lord Asclepius.”
Ethan greeted Asclepius cheerfully. And he imdiately got to the point.
He talked about exchanging shorts videos and definite subscription reviews for premium subscriber status and various benefits.
“Of course! There’s no reason to refuse! Hahaha-!”
In fact, Asclepius was as good as chosen by Ethan.
All those who [Only subscribed to the right gods] subscribed to and left shorts and subscription reviews for had all skyrocketed, so it was natural to have expectations.
Once chosen, their influence grew imdiately, so being chosen by him ant it was unquestionably a good thing.
“And by the way, I’m trying to treat this disease…”
Ethan explained about Evangeline’s extre cold atrophy syndro.
“Hmm, you have a disease too? I thought you were trying to treat that.”
“Is it possible to treat my disease?”
“It’s possible!”
Asclepius, with a confident attitude, placed his hand on Ethan’s wrist.
But soon his expression hardened.
“…I’m sorry. I can’t treat this. Who on earth gave you such a disease?”
“It’s alright, Lord Asclepius.”
He hadn’t expected anything anyway. This wasn’t sothing that could be treated through the New World in the first place, so Ethan wasn’t even disappointed.
“Then is the disease I ntioned earlier possible?”
“Hmm!”
Ethan explained to Asclepius what Evangeline’s symptoms were like and how he was planning to proceed with the treatnt.
“First of all, you’ve learned my techniques, right?”
“Yes, I learned Hygienic Healing and Radiant Herbal Arts.”
“Then let teach you those more thoroughly first. But you seem to have already learned dical skills, can you show ?”
“Yes.”
Ethan was planning to first demonstrate the two techniques he had just learned from Asclepius.
“You can use as the subject.”
“Yes, then I’ll show you along with the skills I’ve mastered.”
Heo’s Acupuncture and Hua Tuo’s Abdominal Surgery, along with Asclepius’s Hygienic Healing and Hippocrates’ Healing Enhancent.
Swoosh-.
A long acupuncture needle suddenly appeared in Ethan’s hand.
Stab-!
Before Asclepius could say anything, Ethan inserted the needle into his acupoint. The number of needles Ethan could currently create was as many as fifteen.
It was a large number of needles, but Ethan, who had raised his skill to True Heo’s Acupuncture, could place fifteen needles in the blink of an eye.
“W-what is this?”
Asclepius, who had received the acupuncture, asked Ethan with a surprised expression.
“Where on earth did you learn this?”
“I learned it from Lord Heo Jun. It’s called True Heo’s Acupuncture.”
An imnse sense of exhilaration settled on Asclepius’s face.
“This is incredible… You can achieve this effect with just one needle?”
Asclepius kept checking his body condition while talking to himself with his eyes closed.
“This… Can you teach this too?”
His face was completely captivated by acupuncture.
1. TLN: Either it’s Kos or Course. I don’t know what the author trying to say here. But from what I found, Kos is the sacred land of Asclepius. And it is also an island in Greece
