My Cell Prison

Chapter 57: Plague Control

Full academic name [The-Seed-of-Destiny].

This is abbreviated as "Seed" throughout the text.

When a beginner first selects a major occupation and allocates points through the Destiny Event.

Seeds will be sown within the main body using the Destiny Device, and the seeds corresponding to each major occupation will differ.

In addition, the different personalities and subsequent development of each individual will also affect the changes in the internal structure of the seeds.

The seed, on the other hand, was the foundation of the trainee knight, signifying how the individual should develop in the future, and at the same time, it was a reservoir of energy itself.

Every time a mystical ability is cast, including divination, suturing, or plague, a portion of the energy within the seed is siphoned off.

As the "Fate Points" were distributed, the amount of energy that the seed could hold would increase.

When the number of Fate Points invested in the major profession reaches [5] points, the seed will 'sprout' and move on to the next stage, the current chapter is a basic chapter and will not be explained in detail.

There are roughly two types of ways to replenish seed energy.

One is homeostatic absorption, e.g. you are proficient in plague-like abilities and can draw energy from within some diseased organism.

The other is self-replenishment, such as a psychic divination class ability that allows you to absorb energy from the cosmic stars for a specific period of time.

With the development of later abilities or the wearing of special fate equipment, there is also the possibility of acquiring more ways of energy replenishment, such as 'forced absorption', 'auto-response' and other abilities.

Special Notes.

Apprentice Knight phase, once the seed's energy is depleted it will not be able to cast any magic or abilities, please pay special attention to the energy remaining during the battle.

..........

The book "Plague Science" opened with a detailed explanation of the energy cluster inside Han Dong's head.

"The Seed of Fate, according to the book, once 5 Fate Points are invested, the seed will sprout and grow the so-called Talent Tree?

Of course, it is also possible that there is a space between the seed and the talent tree."

Han Dong sort of understood the significance of this mysterious energy cluster in his head.

The next step would be to learn and subjectively use the energy within the seed.

"Currently I can use the short sword as an intermediary to transform the energy in the seed into a plague attribute that shoots out from the end of the sword, let's keep learning."

The way Han Dong read the book was peculiar, requiring a notebook to be prepared at the same time.

The study book was placed on the left-hand side and the notebook on the right-hand side.

Holding a pen in the right hand, as the vision scanned through the book in detail, the right hand would automatically record some key words and important phrases in the notebook, thus deepening the understanding and memory of important knowledge.

.........

Original text of the book.

Plague belongs to the most offensive branch of the occult, the branch of the discipline.

It is devoted to the study of strongly pathogenic microorganisms.

Mostly fungi, with very few plague scientists touching on bacteria, or the more elusive viruses (due to the limited development of contemporary science, the microscope is only at the optical microscope stage, making it difficult to resolve cells, let alone observe viruses)

Once the knights learn control of the fungus, they can attach the plague attribute to each attack, slicing the enemy as the plague seeps into their flesh and deepens the damage.

They can also manipulate the fungus for small-scale scouting and exploration.

Or specialize in fungal gas with a staff for ranged attacks, ignoring the enemy's outer armor and directly damaging the body.

The next thing we're going to talk about is [Plague Manipulation].

Before getting started, beginners need to be divided into two categories.

The first category belonged to trainee knights who had no exposure to the plague at all.

Before learning, you need to place yourself in a pathogenic fungal content, over 300 Simpson numbers (a dimensionless unit used to measure the size of the number of pathogenic fungi per unit of space)

Such beginners need to expose themselves to at least three subcutaneous or systemic fungal diseases.

And not through any external medical means, relying solely on the body and seed energy to adapt to the disease, allowing the flesh to gradually adapt to the fungus during this painful process, creating a diverse fungal environment in the body.

This is abbreviated as the "fungal constitution".

Once such a constitution is achieved, subsequent training in plague science can be initiated.

The second category belongs to trainee knights who have been exposed to plague, have healed themselves from severe plague infections, or carry plague abilities of their own.

These beginners already have a hidden or partial "fungal constitution" and require targeted activation, depending on their condition.

If you are unable to activate it, please use the first method.

.........

In general, the introduction was to form a "fungal physique".

Although "Ghoul Arm" and "Plague Doctor's Short Blade" both belonged to the Plague category, Han Dong didn't intend to hang himself from a tree like that.

Not to mention the five major professions.

In mysticism science alone, there were 'plague', 'divination', 'suturing' and even some academic branches that Han Dong didn't know about yet.

Han Dong, who possessed the ability to collect 'Cell Essence', was fully capable of considering multi-dimensional development.

"Pestilence, just need the right arm to have this ability, the other areas of the flesh, I have other plans."

Han Dong had a strict plan for the future and was very clear on what he should do at this stage.

"The 'Ghoul Arm' already matches the book's description of the Plague Physique; I just need to focus on this arm and cultivate it."

After completing the detailed reading of 'Plague Basic Manipulation'.

Han Dong put on the 'Doctor Beak Suit' and deliberately exposed his right arm, returning to the outer area of the [Old Sewer].

The fungal colonies that cover the walls, the airborne bacterial spores.

Isn't this the best place to practice the plague?

Slowly raising his right arm, he recalled the relevant explanations from the book.

Han Dong's attention was focused on his arm, trying to construct a connection with the fungal plague in his environment, the energy of the [Seed], began to slowly deplete.

......

Inside the office.

Lecturer Pasha, whose body's colonies were disrupted due to drunkenness, slowly woke up after adjusting his body's condition on its own during sleep.

"Where did this Nicholas kid go?"

Pasha stretched out of the break room and immediately spotted the plague science books and dense English notes open on her desk.

Searching for the scent that remained in the air, she walked out of the office area.

The scene that took place in the [Old Sewer] made Pasha stare at it with wide eyes and all sleepiness was gone.

Han Dong was standing three meters away from her.

With Han Dong as the center, mycelia on the ground were wrapped around his pant legs.

There were even a few small mushrooms growing on the end of his leather shoes.

What was most shocking was Han Dong's right arm.

The pores on the skin of the arm were 'open'.

Similar to mouth breathing, the open pores were slowly absorbing the fungal spores in the air, replenishing the energy consumed during the manipulation of the plague.

It should be known that when Pasha came to the [Old Sewer], after initially reaching the 'Plague Physique', it also took her three days to learn basic plague manipulation.

And yet, Han Dong had accomplished all of this in the few hours that she slept.
