Episode 166 The power of K-flavored thorns (2)
[Your metabolism rapidly accelerates to ‘8282 mode’.]
Huuuuk…?
‘Huh?’
Rakiel took a deep breath without realizing it. For a moment, my vision became blurry. It feels as if someone has dropped a drop of transparent ink on the world in front of me. The rippling ripples and spreading transparent ink seemed to subtly distort the corner of my vision.
It was from then on.
My heart started beating like crazy.
thud! thud! thud! Cuckoo! thud! Thump! Thump! thud!
‘…Uh oh?’
I couldn’t control it. It’s like 3,000 tons of coal! It felt like a runaway steam locomotive shouting. The same was true for blood vessels. The powerful power of blood flow coming from the heart that casts a sudden attack! The artery swelled to the point of bursting. It felt like the valve was tap dancing like a pinwheel.
But if that were all it was, if it had gotten to this point, I would have said, “Oh, my heart is pounding a little(?)… but the reality wasn’t so easy!”
So, every organ in the body, including the heart, was running wild!
Ding dong!
[The five organs and six organs are distracted by the rapid acceleration of metabolism in ‘8282 mode’!]
[Heart: I… run! Runaway locomotive! Trahahaha!]
[Lungs: Lungs, lungs, lungs!]
[Captain: Accelerating to the limit of the villi! Out of control! Don’t try to shoot the sphincter!]
[Live: Oh my, I got slapped by the sphincter.]
[Stomach: Then what did I just hit?]
[Kidney: Hehehe, stone is fired!]
[The five organs and six parts are experiencing metabolic acceleration for the first time. You have entered a state of extreme excitement.]
[The five organs and six departments tried to sponsor you with HP… but ended up!]
“….”
What is this situation? What on earth is this crazy feeling? What should I really say about this? The strange illusion that the world seems to have slowed down.
‘It’s crazy. it’s crazy!’
My blood vessels were overflowing. All my brain cells suddenly woke up. The same went for muscles and nerves. Burning with an unknown power. I felt like I could accomplish anything now. But it wasn’t a completely unfamiliar feeling.
So, this is how I felt… About ten years ago…
‘When I was a student at Oriental Medicine University, I stayed up all night studying and doing assignments. Just then… Is this how you felt when you drank a highly concentrated caffeine drink?’
It was exactly like that.
Of course, it wasn’t exactly the same. What if what you drank at that time was a normal caffeinated beverage? now? It felt like I had mixed 100 cans of Hot Seven with highly concentrated espresso extract and inserted it directly into my cerebral cortex!
‘What… oh…’
Is it because of my rapidly accelerated metabolism? Are brain cells more active thanks to this? The speed of thinking became amazingly fast. The speed of sensation was also the same.
…Wooooh!
A subtle sound coming from somewhere.
Rakiel’s eyes moved slowly. He was able to spot something flying in the air. It was a fly.
However, the flapping of the fly’s wings was strange. The flapping wings were clearly visible. If you wanted to, you could visually count the number of wings it flapped. It felt like I was seeing the world in slow motion.
‘Then what about this?’
He stretched out his hand. The hands moved at astonishing speed. I blocked the fly with my palm. A fly that detected a sudden obstacle(?) changed its flight direction.
The path was blocked again. The fly tried to dodge. Blocked again. The fly took a sharp curve. Blocked again. The hand naturally drew an imaginary circle. Even though the flies continued to fly, they could not leave the circle. But the size of the circle… was only about the size of a tennis ball!
Ssssssssut!
‘Heh heh heh heh.’
One of your own hands moving at incredible speed! Looking at that, Rakiel just laughed. It felt like it was a piece of silver.
But that feeling didn’t last long.
Ding dong.
[The effect of K-flavored thorns has diminished.]
[Metabolic ‘8282 mode’ ends.]
A message appeared before my eyes without hesitation.
Along with that, without any warning or even the slightest hint, my entire body lost strength. My metabolism, which had been rapidly accelerating, suddenly slowed down. No, it returned to its normal speed.
…Whoa.
‘Cut?’
It feels like you are driving at 500 km/h and then apply full brakes! The five organs and six organs were also in an uproar again.
Ding dong!
[Your five organs and six organs are once again unable to come to their senses due to the aftereffects of the end of ‘8282 mode’.]
[Heart: Giyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat:
At the five five to five
five to five organs.]
[Heart: Giyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! ..Chaa!]
[Stomach: What are you doing?]
[Kidney: Oh, you have to be sensitive haha You have to react well to pay for the meal haha]
[I am impressed by the amazing experience of the five intestines and six parts and feel the power of the five intestines and six parts.]
[The five intestines and six parts say ‘ 8282 Mode’ He gave you a subtle look that said, ‘That was really good’ and donated 100 HP.]
[Currently your current HP: 500]
“…Huh, huh, huh.”
Rakiel took a deep breath. It was dizzying. When I suddenly returned to normal at full acceleration, where I thought my heart was going to explode, dizziness hit my frontal and occipital lobes like a 16-beat Jajinmori rhythm.
In short, it was difficult to come to my senses.
‘Wow Mr.’
What on earth was this?
He shook his head vigorously to shake off the dizziness. I reached out my hand and pulled out the black thorn that I had mistakenly inserted into the fetal blood vessel earlier. On the other hand, he thought about the K taste, a black thorn that he had just discovered by chance.
‘Before this, I just assumed it would be very painful.’
What I experienced was that it wasn’t just pain.
I understand after experiencing it.
‘It was even more effective if you endured it after the immense pain.’
Nerve acceleration.
Rapid acceleration of metabolism.
I had no idea it would have such an effect. If someone had just told me, I would never have believed it. But he even experienced it himself.
‘Hey, is everyone okay?’
I wonder if there will be any physical problems or aftereffects. I was naturally worried because my metabolism was running so fast that it was ridiculous. I asked the five organs and six parts. And the response that came back was…
ding dong.
[The five internal organs look at you with profound eyes.]
[Hey, one more lassi? Churai Churai.]
“….”
These guys are crazy.
I couldn’t help but laugh. First of all, looking at the reaction of the five organs and six parts, there seemed to be no major side effects. If there is something physically wrong, they are the first to report it. Because they are more sincere than anyone else about the health of this body.
‘Then you don’t have to worry about side effects.’
Rachiel frowned and picked up the black thorn. That incredible experience from before? I wanted to try it again, but somehow I couldn’t bring myself to do it. The reason was simple.
‘Because it hurt so bad.’
It really hurt.
Just thinking about it made me feel sick again.
I truly felt like my soul had gone out, had a drink, and returned home with a glass of makgeolli from a local store. It hurt just that much.
“….”
Let’s not think about it.
Let’s not even try.
‘I could probably use it when fighting someone.’
For example, an enemy with enormous supply and demand such as Javilon. When faced with the threat of such guys, it seemed like a good idea to escape the crisis with full acceleration of metabolism.
But what about in normal times?
Of course it is a specification.
‘I’m not a pervert who enjoys pain by purchasing it.’
Rachiel made a promise. But that promise was shaken within just a few seconds. It was because of the content of the message that suddenly appeared before my eyes without warning.
Ding dong!
[Your acupuncture experience has exceeded the critical point.]
‘…Huh?’
What is this again?
I looked closely at the message that appeared out of nowhere. The follow-up message came up hand in hand with a set menu.
[You have cared for countless patients and administered over thousands of acupuncture needles in the process.]
[All of these series of processes have accumulated experiences that are like flesh and blood for you.]
[And finally, you have become a completely new type of person from just a moment ago. By inserting a thorn into his body, he expanded his horizon of experience explosively.]
[This special experience became the last drop of alcohol that made the cup overflow.]
[Every experience becomes a talent that transcends the walls of reality the moment it crosses the threshold. It manifests and can finally be unlocked with an appropriate skill.]
[The highly concentrated acupuncture experience is unlocked with ‘Acupuncture Skill.’]
‘What?’
Rachiel’s eyes widened.
‘Acupuncture skills?’
It was a skill I had decided to unlock someday. But now, this is opening up as a skill just at the right time.
‘Could it be because of the extreme experience I just had while inserting the black thorn?’
It seemed like that. Rachiel’s eyes were busy scanning the messages that came to mind one after another.
Ding dong!
[Skill Name: Acupuncture Lv. 3]
[A thin needle is inserted into the target’s body to regulate the flow of energy and blood and produce various effects. This can be used for good or evil purposes depending on how you put your mind to it. Increase in acupuncture effect provided by current level: 15%]
[Skill exclusive option ①: Hour needle simulation]
[HP required for next level up: 500]
[Currently possessed HP: 500]
“….”
This is real. It is neither an illusion nor a hallucination. It is clearly a true story and reality.
Rachiel resisted the urge to rub her eyelids roughly. I held on tightly to the opposite sex who was twerking with joy. I stayed calm and paid attention to the effect of the skill and the options.
’15 percent increase in acupuncture effectiveness.’
gulp.
A figure of 15 percent may not seem that big at first glance. But there was something else that was really important.
‘If you invest HP to raise the skill level, the skill effect percentage will also increase.’
That’s the important point.
This means that depending on the investment, the skill effect can increase by 100%, 200%, or even more.
‘Woah, I was stuck with a needle like this and I don’t know if I’m going to live forever or something.’
Rakiel sent the blooming wings of happy imagination flying far into the blue sea. Instead, we focused on the content of the options.
‘Hour hand simulation?’
I looked at the options with narrowed eyes. The contents of the options came to mind automatically.
Ding dong!
[Acupuncture skill-specific option ①: Hour needle simulation – Linked to the ‘acupuncture point scanning option’ of your existing pulse skill. Patient data obtained through acupuncture point scanning can be loaded into simulation mode. Through data, it is possible to observe and experiment on the effects and changes that will occur on the patient’s body. So feel free to take a stab at it?]
“….”
What day is today?
Rachiel took a deep breath without realizing it. Otherwise, I felt like I would burst into cheers. It had to be that way.
‘I can do it. ‘Completely overcome Guillain-Barre syndrome.’
While looking at the contents of the acupuncture skill, I was immediately able to recall the contents of the optional hour needle simulation. I was able to draw the big picture. The secret to finding the ‘most efficient’ treatment for patients suffering from Guillain-Barré syndrome was brightly revealed in my mind.
That is….
‘Hour hand simulation.’
I repeated softly. The response came immediately.
Partszzzzzzzz!
My vision turned black and a simulation space came to mind. In it, the acupuncture point data of Miguel, a Guillain-Barré syndrome patient who had been scanned earlier, was loaded.
Immediately after that, Rakiel’s hand moved.
chuck.
I grabbed the black K-flavored thorn. He aimed at his own calf. He had no intention of simply using the simulation option. Because that’s inefficient. Because there is a way to simulate much faster and more efficiently within the same amount of time.
All you have to do is combine the black K-flavored thorns and the simulation option.
‘There is an extremely efficient method and I know it, but if I don’t use it, I’m not Korean.’
He made up his mind.
He laughed meaningfully.
‘Are you guys ready?’
Ding dong!
[The eyes of the five organs and six parts sparkle!]
The response of the five organs and six parts that resonates powerfully in my head.
While listening to that, Rakiel sharply inserted a black K-flavored thorn into the external aperture of her calf.
