Chapter Twenty-Six: Major in Profession and Destiny Cards
Mysticism
Gut feeling.
Although as a scientific researcher, it is necessary to conduct rigorous scientific argumentation on various phenomena, and give conclusions based on experimental phenomena and basic theoretical support.
But the seemingly ethereal feeling of 'intuition' is just as important.
Especially when taking on a completely new topic and there is little research on the topic around the world, and there is simply no suitable entry point, intuition is needed to open the first path.
In Han Dong's view, intuition does not arise in a vacuum.
Rather, it is the result of a quick non-ideological examination of all the information collected by the brain, including broken memories at the subconscious level.
Often, the more intelligent a person is, the more accurate his intuition will be.
As he looked at the fifth door, Han Dong followed his instincts and slowly leaned over.
"Western Occultism...... This discipline came to an end in the mainstream world in my original world, with the publication of Copernicus's "Theory of the Movement of the Heavenly Bodies" and the introduction of the theory of blood circulation.
But in the current world with magical elements and various supernatural abilities, [Occult] naturally exists.
Ancient occultists were often generalists in mathematics, alchemy, religious theory, herbal medicine, astrology, and magic spells, and they were the "scientists" of their time.
Truly...... As a cell biology major, I might be a better fit for the occult.
Moreover, the head I picked up from prison may not be explained by magic, and perhaps the answer can only be found in the occult. ”
Han Dong also took out the fate item he obtained in this event - "Plague Doctor's Short Blade".
"If you want to use the true power of this item, you also need to specialize in [Occultism]...... Coincidental? It's still doomed. ”
There was no time limit for allocating Destiny Points, and Han Dong gave himself half an hour to consider it comprehensively, and finally decided to push open the ebony door that symbolized the occult.
The interior is not a grotesque room filled with various occult objects as Han Dong imagined, but a small, dark closed compartment.
A bronze chair with a variety of precision instruments (syringes, catheters, metal hoods) is set up in the center of the room.
There seems to be only one option to 'sit on'.
"There are 2 remaining [Destiny Points], will I use them all?"
Note: Allocate at least 5 Destiny Points to complete the main class, and subsequent branching talent trees will appear. Before 5 o'clock, it is recommended to put all the Destiny Points you already have into it.
Since they all said so, Han Dong has something else to choose.
From the information available so far, it seems that the journey of destiny has only just begun.
Although Han Dong completed the first incident in an almost perfect way, there is still a long way to go.
At least before deciding on his career, Han Dong may still belong to the rookie level, but his status is definitely one level higher than those newcomers who have not yet entered the destiny space.
Call......
Take a deep breath.
Select Assign Points.
Click, click, click!
The blocking device of the copper chair immediately locked Han Dong's whole body, and more than ten syringes were accurately connected to Han Dong's blood vessels through the catheter, and a special syringe pierced into the cervical vertebrae from the back of the neck.
Pain is inevitable.
For Han Dong, who has been tortured by cancer, he can still hold on.
With the injection of an unknown solvent, Han Dong could clearly feel that his body was changing, to be exact, his head was changing.
About half an hour passed.
End of the injection process.
Han Dong's weak body has not changed in any way, but it is just ......
Rattle (slippery soft squeezing sound) ~
A speckled tentacle appears from the palm of his hand, which is Han Dong's subjective behavior...... This time, the tentacles will no longer feel weak, but will have a feeling of being able to retract and release them freely.
It's obvious.
The two fate points invested in [Occult] made Han Dong more proficient in the control of the "Faceless Head", and the whole brain had an unprecedented sense of refreshment.
There was even a faint feeling that there was a strange energy in his brain that he could manipulate, but Han Dong couldn't find a way to use this power.
Obviously, Han Dong's intuition and choice were correct.
The occult has to do with this faceless head......
"If this continues, will it be possible to upgrade the Faceless Head? Once the prison can be upgraded, it will be able to contain more special life!! ”
Han Dong, who has always been reserved, also showed an excited smile at this moment.
Not only is he excited to gain inhuman power, but he also finds a way to upgrade his head...... Once the prison is expanded, it will be able to contain other special beings, which will become Han Dong's 'personal strength'.
That's when it happened.
A beep came from the space of fate:
"After the distribution of Destiny Points, you have become a [Mystery Apprentice], if you continue to allocate 3 points to the major class, you will completely consolidate your foundation and open the 'Mystery Talent Tree'.
The next time you enter Destiny Space, it is recommended to team up with an apprentice of the same level (who has not opened the talent tree)."
"Mystery Apprentice...... When I return to the Holy City, I hope that some organization will take me in and learn how to use the occult.
It must not be used in front of anyone else until the origin of the "Faceless Head" is fully understood. ”
Just as Han Dong was immersed in joy, the iron chair in the room turned into a crystal round table.
"When!?"
Han Dong didn't notice this process of change at all.
"Please choose a Destiny Card (Beginner Level) and the corresponding reward will be given when the card is revealed."
Right.
Only then did Han Dong get out of his excitement, recalling that he still had a reward that he hadn't claimed.
Fate cards, which originally only had a low chance of obtain, have a 10% increased chance after completing the side story...... But it's still not high.
Unexpectedly, it really appeared when the reward was settled.
Luck is also part of strength.
On the crystal table, four gold cards with the same back are placed at equal intervals.
"Let's pick one at random...... Cheating in such a place is completely looking for death. ”
Han Dong habitually drew the one on his left.
Upon touching the card, the other three immediately disappear.
The card drawn in Han Dong's hand is printed with the [Holy Grail] pattern on the front...... Immediately after, a miracle occurred.
With a flash of golden light, the card vanished, in exchange for an entity chalice containing a clear liquid inside.
"Divination Card (Holy Grail): When consumed, it can enhance a basic ability."
Detected that the subject has not yet learned the basic abilities of the [Occult], and the current consumption is ineffective.
This Holy Grail is a beginner-level booster and has no effect on the subject's 'Tentacle (Advanced)' ability.
Note: The Holy Grail has a shelf life of one day, please use it as soon as possible.
"This ...... It's a bit of a pit! ”
Han Dong didn't think he could be introduced to a secoo organization in the Holy City in one day and learn a basic skill.
Immediately changing his thinking, Han Dong took the Holy Grail and returned directly to the prison area and handed it over to the only containment object in the prison - [Chen Li of the Evil One].
