Chapter 99: Yuna Garnet (2)

Chapter 99: Yuna Garnet (2)

This is what supporting each other is.

Ethan smiled broadly.

The latest video from Heo Juns channel was, as before, a premium subscriber-only video that only Ethan could watch.

Oh-hoh.

-[NEW!] How to fully make acupuncture and decoction your own

It was a title that seemed to scratch where Ethan was currently struggling.

In various ways, Heo Jun seemed to grasp Ethans state.

As expected, just because I left a subscription review, the channel wouldnt grow this big. To become a major channel, you cant just teach skills. There need to be videos like this that can help ensure the learned skills are firmly trained and utilized.

No matter how much water flows in, if you cant row the oar properly, youll just stagnate there.

But Heo Jun had plenty of skill to row the oar.

What Ethan currently needed the most was presented in the video.

He probably made it in advance.

Ethan had already raised his proficiency in Heos Acupuncture and Heos Decoction quite a bit.

But now that his proficiency was quite high, to master them, he needed to completely understand and embrace acupuncture and decoction.Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com

In various situations, in various ways. Thats how you can master it.

Ethan immediately clicked on the video.

-About acupuncture. The more you know, the more differently you see it. Depending on how well you know acupuncture, you can get to firmly know the patient and give them the right needles. But you have to be careful about that. Pride is forbidden. Even if it looks like youre sticking them in the same spots, slight differences can produce different effects.

In the video, Heo Jun showed using acupuncture in various ways.

It was him raising his proficiency by using acupuncture in various situations, just as Ethan had been doing so far.

Ive been doing well so far.

Even without Heo Jun teaching him, Ethan had grown remarkably in Heo Juns way.

-Now, the most important part. Once your proficiency exceeds 70%, senses alone arent enough. You need to be able to induce both vitality recovery and physical function improvement at the same time. Precisely and quickly, relying not on senses but on sight.

Heo Jun pointed at his eyes with his index and middle fingers.

-Premium subscribers.

Since Ethan was currently Heo Juns only premium subscriber, this was effectively addressed to Ethan.

-With the likes I got this time, I purchased a new function. A function to hold subscriber events for subscribers. This subscriber event can help you master this Heos Acupuncture and decoction a bit more securely. Its name is

Heo Jun took a breath before continuing.

-The sponsor function. With this sponsor function, you can help me, and I can help you in return. Of course, not just anyone can sponsor. Only premium subscribers can sponsor.

Heo Jun in the video snickered.

-What I will sponsor are quests. Clear the quests, and you will be able to completely master this Heos Acupuncture and decoction. 100% proficiency. You will be able to use that power completely like me.

Heo Jun gestured with a cackle.

-You premium subscribers watching this video, please sponsor. Wield this power to influence countless people.

After the video ended, a quest window popped up in front of Ethans eyes.

-[Eastern Physician of All Things] [Heo Jun] has sent you, [Only subscribed to the right gods], a sponsorship!

-Sponsorship contents: Received the Proficiency Raising Quest!

<<Master of Acupuncture>> Rank [?]

[Perform acupuncture that can simultaneously induce vitality recovery and physical function improvement 1000 times.]

[Reward: Heos Acupuncture [MASTER]]

<<Maker of Cure-All Medicine>> Grade [?]

[Make 10 S-grade decoctions]

[Reward: Heos Decoction [MASTER]]

Oh, so gods can give quests as sponsorships.

Ethan was newly amazed by the various functions of [New World].

Certainly, being made by the god of gods, it was decidedly different.

Getting clear numbers like this is much better than vaguely mastering. Way better than before.

Of course, the quest contents were not exactly easy.

Until now, Ethan had used acupuncture while distinguishing between recovery and buffs. And he had only made an S-grade decoction once.

Its natural for the difficulty to be like this since its for completely mastering.

If anything, Ethan was curious about the effects of the Heos Acupuncture and Heos Decoction Mastery he could earn by clearing these difficult quests.

First I should watch the other videos too.

They were videos that didnt exceed the scope of the Heos Acupuncture and decoction Ethan learned early on, but Ethan was currently Heo Juns premium subscriber.

He could watch all of Heo Juns videos for free without using likes.

Oh.

The videos were also provided to other subscribers, dealing with ways to raise acupuncture and decoction proficiency.

To roughly match the timeline.

Because Ethan knew that, he guessed things had begun when he saw her troubled expression.

However, something was off.

I already checked shes not in her room either.

Then this place should be the only possibility, but Yuna was not here.

She must be somewhere else.

Ethan looked around for places Yuna could be. But no matter how he searched, Yuna was nowhere to be found.

Somethings weird.

When she should absolutely be here yet isnt, that meant things had gone awry. If things had gone awry, he had to figure out how.

By now, she should be worrying.

Since the end of worrying was quitting the academy, she had to be within the academy to submit a withdrawal notice.

Locating her position is urgent.

He couldnt give up on Yuna here. One way or another, abandoning Yuna who would become the Merchant Guild head meant huge losses.

Her becoming the Merchant Guild leader is a definite future. I need to be part of it in that confirmed future.

Ethan was considering moving even more aggressively than he was now.

No matter how exceptional Ethan was, continuing with radical actions would inevitably create resistance.

People would begin to oppose him, and there would be those who would align with them.

Then the radicalism would end there.

Someone was needed to pull off this radical move and change the flow.

The connections Yuna Garnet has made, I need that.

Yuna Garnets connections influencing various teachers, and her power as the future Merchant Guild head of the Garnet Merchant Guild would clearly greatly help Ethan.

Besides, it was just that she wasnt focused on swordsmanship because of Merchant Guild affairs, her swordsmanship skill was surely excellent.

Ethan thought for a moment. If things had gone awry, there would surely be a trigger.

Could it be the followers of the Moon side.

Martynas Lane and Hassen Rittle who were the followers of the Moon were dead.

What they were in charge of could have been Yuna Garnets information. They could have been giving Yuna Garnet information and trying to influence the Garnet Merchant Guild with that information.

But they died by Ethans hand. With the people who should be there gone, it was highly likely the situation had been distorted.

Then.

Ethan bolted out of the academy.

Who are you looking for?

Ethan visited the three mercenary guilds in Marquis Ronds territory.

Mercenary guilds that took various requests would do pretty much anything if you had money.

And their most frequent request was tracking people.

Though they were originally troops deployed as guards or for wars, with things quite peaceful recently, they were putting a lot of effort into tracking people too.

So in this Marquis Rond territory, these mercenary guilds handled the work of similar other guilds.

An academy student from Ivecar Academy. A girl, appearance like this.

Ethan swiftly sketched Yuna Garnets appearance there.

Seeing that, the receptionist was impressed.

Im looking for this student.

Hmm, before hearing the full story, Ill have to collect a deposit first.

Before he could even finish speaking, Ethan placed down a money pouch full of gold with a thud. Just looking, it seemed pretty hefty.

The yellow gold peeked out from the opening, visibly filling the pouch.

A pouch full of gold pieces.

Please, within 5 minutes. Top priority request.

The receptionist made a face. A total newcomer yet requesting top priority?

Top priority requests were not something you could casually grant just because money was offered

That service isnt something we do just because you pay.

Before he could finish speaking, another money pouch came up.

No, let me finish.

Thud-. Thud-. Thud-.

As money pouches piled up, the receptionists eyes grew huge. Each pouch was visibly full, the yellow gold peeking out.

Pouches full of gold pieces.

Ill call the person in charge right away.
