Episode 269 Cupping Mark Artist (2)

[New skill has been released!]

[Skill Name: Cupping Lv.1]

[Creates negative pressure on the patient’s skin with a cupping device, creating a beneficial treatment effect.]

[Cupping treatment effect +10 %]

[Skill Option: ① By using

, you can give various additional buffs to the patient.]

“….”

As expected, this was the expected result.

I thought that if I treated many people with cupping, I would get results like this. For example, the simple and clear result is that skills related to cupping will be opened up.

But I didn’t expect this.

‘Cupping mark artist?’

Rachiel narrowed her eyes and glared at the message window.

[You have saved 100 patients from vampirism through a bold treatment method that aggressively utilizes holy relics. Also, during this process, your existing knowledge of cupping therapy was greatly affected, and some of the stereotypes that were as deep as your skilled knowledge were cracked.] [The stereotypes

you had about cupping were broken. It is broken, opening the way to use new options.]

[Skill option: 〈Cupping Mark Artist〉 allows you to draw various pictures on the patient’s cupping marks. When this picture meets certain conditions, the picture engraved on the cupping mark will provide various beneficial effects to the patient.]

“….”

It’s a stereotype.

Maybe the knowledge I gained from Oriental medicine school was blocking my development like a kind of wall. Was I thus caught in the framework of the stereotypes of existing knowledge?

‘Actually, cupping has been a very popular treatment method since history.’

It was like that.

Cupping has a deep history.

Also, it was favored by almost all ethnic groups.

Usually, it is thought that cupping therapy was developed only in Eastern countries such as Korea, China, and Japan. But that is a wrong stereotype. Since history, cupping has been a popular treatment in both the East and the West.

‘Actually, the principle of cupping is incredibly simple. It stimulates the skin by generating negative pressure like an octopus sucker, which intentionally causes congestion or rupture of local capillaries. Then the body reacts to repair the damaged area.’

A so-called ‘autologous hemorrhage’ phenomenon occurs. Metabolites are produced in tissues. The body’s self-recovery cycle is accelerated. Naturally, immunity is improved.

That wasn’t all.

This series of stimuli is transmitted to the central nervous system through the body’s vascular receptors. Properly regulates the balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves. In addition, it increases metabolism and phagocytosis of body tissues.

In other words, what about a game?

It is a buff that increases the character’s vitality regeneration rate.

‘The method is simple and doesn’t take much time, but the effect is good. It doesn’t hurt too much, so the barrier to entry is low. It is a treatment that is cost-effective. Thanks to this, evidence of cupping being favored by numerous peoples throughout history remains everywhere.’

Representative examples include Greek doctors. Already from then on, Greek saints were receiving cupping and were soothed by the coolness… no, they were shouting ‘Long live Zeus’.

That long-standing tradition was transformed, developed, and continued throughout Europe through the Middle Ages. Good examples include Cupping therapy in the UK, Ventouse to help with childbirth in France, and Schröpfkopf in Germany.

‘Furthermore, it is said that Indian saints in the Americas also enjoyed cupping using cow horns.’

At this point, it can be called a folk remedy of the Earth’s human tradition, comparable to the custom of beating broken electronic devices to make them better (?), which is enjoyed by almost all ethnic groups.

Maybe that’s why.

I was caught up in the stereotypes of cupping therapy.

‘It’s easy, simple, has a long history, so I thought it would be easy. I was conceited and assumed I knew everything.’

But looking at it now?

Not at all.

Rather, there was a deeper state.

As he struggled to cure his vampirism, using various methods, he must have unknowingly broken the wall of stereotypes and glimpsed a deeper realm. As a result, this unexpected option may have been obtained.

It was a moment when I thought…

Ding dong!

A follow-up message suddenly appeared with a refreshing notification sound.

[Skill Option: Cupping Artist is a growth option whose range of use expands depending on your achievements. You will acquire new cupping marks designs and buffs each time you achieve a notable medical achievement through cupping treatment.]

[Number of designs you currently have: 1]

[To view a detailed list and contents of designs, click here. Please select.]

“….”

I clicked

with a quick look. Then, the contents of the cupping mark design obtained were revealed.

Ding dong!

[Number of designs in possession: 1]

[Design ①: Design to exterminate vampires]

[When engraved on a patient’s body, it has a beneficial effect in the treatment of vampire transformation.]

“…What?”

Without even realizing it, a question came out in my voice. Thanks to this, the patient who had just recovered was shocked. But Rakiel didn’t care and read the explanation of the design over and over again.

‘Is this crazy?’

That’s what I thought as soon as I saw it.

Did the five organs and six parts feel the same way?

Ding dong!

[Ojangyukbu exclaims in exclamation as he looks at the options for the new skill you acquired.]

[Heart: What? Drawing on cupping marks? Obtaining various buffs? Then, if you draw a female person, will the patient get a girlfriend?]

[Lungs: Heh heh… haha]

[Captain: Then, what if our body gets cupped by itself and we draw the picture?]

[Liver: Yes, but it doesn’t happen.]

[Stomach: Baral I hope so haha]

[Kidney: Oh, have a conscience haha]

[Spleen: Hey, hit it gently. When our body cries, our blood sugar level drops.]

[The Five Organs and Yuks sponsored 500 HP to celebrate your acquisition of new skills and options.]

[Current HP: 19,400]

“….”

No, I’m not particularly obsessed with a girlfriend. It’s not even a person. But why do the corners of my eyes suddenly flutter and shed a teardrop?

‘I want to hit these five intestines and six parts.’

Someday, I will definitely achieve it, even if it means anthropomorphizing those guys.

Rakiel wiped away the tears that were forming at the corners of her eyes and summarized the cupping skills and options. It was simple. It helps treat vampire transformation. So, could it be possible to achieve a similar effect without using the Archbishop’s Holy Relic that we are currently using?

‘You’ll find out when you try it yourself.’

Rachiel sent away a patient who had just recovered. And then called the next patient.

“Ugh…”

A patient came in who was haggard from being bombarded(?) by both dysentery and Ungnyeo therapy at the same time. It was a woman in her early 50s.

As usual, it is time to use a cupping cup made by cutting off a sacred object. However, Rakiel picked up a different cup this time. It was a regular cupping cup made with a glass body and a smooth leather top.

Pub!

I pressed my hand firmly on the leather area at the top of the cup. In that state, a cupping cup was attached to the patient’s back. I let go. The shriveled leather part unfolded, creating negative pressure inside the cup. In other words, like an octopus sucker, on the patient’s back…

…poof!

And it stuck tightly.

‘This time with dry cupping without removing blood.’

When using a holy relic, the blood had to be allowed to accumulate inside the cupping cup of the holy relic. This was because the patient’s blood that came into contact with the holy relics was purified.

But it didn’t happen this time. If you follow the cupping skill options you understand, it will be possible to treat vampirism without having to draw blood.

‘But just in case, let’s try several.’

Poop poop! Pyeopbyeop! Wow!

A total of five additional cupping cups were attached here and there on the backboard. And waited. Until the cupping cup clearly engraves a red, round mark on the patient’s back. With a feeling of hesitation. With a reverent heart, I wait for the ramen noodles to cook just right.

10 minutes passed like that.

‘good.’

Rachiel reached out and opened the stopper at the top of the cup. Then…

Push-up!

As air entered the cup, the negative pressure was released. Of course, the cup came off the patient’s back naturally.

A bright red cupping mark was left there.

The moment I saw that, the skill option was automatically activated.

Ding dong!

[You have detected a cupping mark that has just been treated.]

[Cupping skill option ①: The conditions for activating the Cupping Mark Artist have been met.]

[To activate the Cupping Mark Artist, approach the patient while holding a writing instrument such as a brush pen. ]

“….”

I did as I was told.

There happened to be a small brush nearby. I picked up the brush and dipped it in ink. Then the skill option was activated in earnest.

Ding dong!

[Cupping skill option ①: Cupping Mark Artist is activated.]

[Because the number of designs you have is only 1, the design selection process is skipped.]

[Use the

you have.]

Swoosh!

The arm holding the brush moved automatically. There was no way to stop him or go to sleep. With one stroke of his hand, he began carving a design into the cupping marks on the patient’s back.

Swish! Ssuk! Sigh!

An unstoppable touch, as if laser engraving was done on a computer! A small picture without any error was engraved into the round cupping mark. The actual design was the face of a vampire crying with its fangs pulled out.

However, the drawing skills were impressive. Because it’s elaborate? No, never. This is just…

‘I’d rather draw it myself with my dexterity!’

It was so crooked that I thought… It was like looking at a picture drawn by a kindergartener with fern hands.

But did they hear our protest(?)?

The message’s sarcastic reply came back immediately.

Ding dong!

[The artistry of the printed design is based on the actual drawing skills of the skill holder. No complaints.]

“….”

Yes, I will shut up.

Rachiel, who had been beaten with facts, snapped her mouth shut. Meanwhile, his hand, guided by the skill option, continued to move. Thanks to this, it was possible to engrave 5 identical designs on 5 cupping marks in a short period of time.

But was this appearance so strange?

“Hey… Your Highness?”

When I finished activating the skill, I saw head nurse Anis looking at me in confusion. It was a look wrapped in its own etiquette, asking what he was doing all of a sudden.

When I thought about it, it seemed like that might be the case. It’s strange that he throws away his well-used sacred cupping cup and uses a regular cup, but the crown prince draws a kindergarten-level picture on the cupping marks.

However, Rachiel did not respond to Anise’s question. Instead, I focused on the additional message that came before my eyes.

‘Now that I’ve used the skill option, show me the results.’

According to what I read earlier, Doan said that he would give various buffs to the patient. In particular, it is said that the

obtained this time has a beneficial effect in the treatment of vampire transformation….

Ding dong!

‘It’s up!’

Indeed, the effect of the design began to appear before my eyes. But the content of the effect is…

‘I’m crazy, but what about this?’

Rachiel felt a lump of dry saliva go down her esophagus in a tap dance of cheers and joy. gulp.
