There is no way Gaia would let him get Physical Resistance up to 100%, right?

Yeah, Jee-han's getting rich as hell just from playing the "game" and using his abilities as Gaia intended. It certainly seems like he could use all that money to set up a fake doctor's office and get to healing just about everybody. I'm glad that he's hopped right to grinding for the cure though. It's pretty amazing how OP he's become since back when he was panicking while swinging wildly at zombies with a bat. I expect the evil forces will make their move soon. His mom being out of town is the perfect prelude to serious poo poo going down and either needing his attention for a long period of time or beating him up badly enough that even his healing skills/auto-healing while sleeping doesn't let him recover fully. Please don't make me remember Oblivion grinding, as well. SO much time spent running and jumping around the capital city while conjuring things.

Gotta love that he deliberately injures himself to practice healing, instead of going to a cancer ward or something.

He could pull off curing cancer if he could play it off as him just being some sort of ridiculously good cancer surgeon, but that's not going to happen unless he actually goes through med school and all that.

He'd probably get sent to prison for tampering with the ill and sentenced to death. Gnome would have to take the form of a very long lived mouse as a disguise. Tom Hanks would probably be his security guard.

GoatLord posted:He could get a job as the night janitor at a hospital and go around healing sleeping patients while nobody is watching. There are always going to be security cameras. Basically the very best he could do is be around as an underground physician. Even if he took the time to make it through med school, he can't just magically cure cancer because the medical community would ask how the hell he did that. At best he could get so smart that he figures out how to do it on his own, but as he's pointed out this chapter having a high INT only seems to help his memorization. It all comes down to needing more WIS.

He becomes a faith healer, only he actually heals. Outrageous claims and outrageous "donations" turn out to be the only needed measures.

This is different from blatantly saying he has magical powers... how? The whole point of this seems to be very similar to World of Darkness style paradox. You're fine if you're using powers subtly, or inside illusion barriers, but prepare to have the universe kick the poo poo out of you if you show the norms that you have supernatural abilities.

Dr_Amazing posted:Gotta love that he deliberately injures himself to practice healing, instead of going to a cancer ward or something. I keep expecting his wisdom to go up on its own as he continues to multi-task his grinding. I understand the need to show that this guy had to grind, as a gamer, his abilities, but he's been basically grinding now for like 20 chapters. We had a date with a girl, some almost-plot thing happened, and his mom moved away. Otherwise, he's been grinding forever. Maybe it's time for some more almost-plot stuff?

Dan7el posted:Yeah, but isn't the purpose of injuring himself to get his physical damage resistance up? I want to see where he gets shot and the bullet wound only leaves a small black and blue mark. If you consider the length of time between content updates for Korean MMOs, then we're not budging close to the next portion of plot. Time for more and more grind with some sprinkles of item progression here and there. This is truly the Korean MMO of comics.

The physical resistance skill was just a nice surprise. The chapter clearly stated that he was hurting himself to grind his heal spell. I like how Gnome is actually completely impassive at all times like you would expect a low level earth elemental to be, but because the one facial expression it has is a smile it seems like it is really into all this grinding.

So far we haven't seen her in a situation that would seem like she'd be sad. We've seen her get summoned and thus make a new friend, and we've seen her murdering oni with a spear, and we've seen her smacking a guy with a big club. All situations where she'd be happy as gently caress.

I figure I might as well quote myself, since it's relevant to the latest update.Kgummy posted:And another thing I'd try to grind is the 'physical resistance' skill, and figure out what other skills exist that would let me outright ignore damage. And I'd probably grind it with actually trying to dodge the hits. You know, something that's not shouting out fake move names in attempt to cheat getting them.

Arrows are physical. If it was Melee Damage Resistance you would have a point.

Well remember that this is translated, and just because it says 'physical damage' doesn't mean that 'melee damage' is what the author meant. Granted, I don't know any Korean, nor know if in this particular instance there is an overlap of terms. But as of yet, I don't think Jee-Han has been hit with any ranged weaponry, so confirmation either way isn't certain. I mean, it's already kind of cheaty that practicing against blunt weaponry protects from slashing/piercing weaponry. He has only been actually hit with blunt weapons, hasn't he? In all likelihood it does indeed at least covers all melee weapons.

What you're saying is the same as "They could've mistranslated cheese as nuke, so that 'cheese' sandwich could blow up the city!" As for me, I'll just accept it means 'physical damage'.

One of my friends and I were discussing how clearly what he needs to do is put on his weighted clothing, grab a book, turn on his spirit technique, and have gnome chase him around hitting him, while he heals. Alternatively, do it on the ogre zone, dodge ogre hits for agi, and throw some mana arrows at poo poo, to level that too.

It's a good thing this game doesn't have critical hits, else that damage training could have gone poorly. You were hit for 762 damage. You healed for 100 damage. You healed for 100 damage. You healed for 100 damage. You healed for 100 damage. You healed for 100 damage. You healed for 100 damage. You healed for 100 damage. You healed for 62 damage. You were hit for 731 damage. You healed for 100 damage. You healed for 100 damage. You healed for 100 damage. You healed for 100 damage. You healed for 100 damage. You healed for 100 damage. You healed for 100 damage. You healed for 31 damage. You were critically hit for 15,600 damage turning you into Jee-Han paste. You have died. Kaja Rainbow posted:Now that's a rather silly stretch.

I'm reminded of Oblivion, where you could achieve >100% "Physical Damage Reflection" which would make you immune to melee attacks... but you'd still take damage from arrows. So it seems plausible enough for me, since it's already happened in a Western made game which didn't even have translation issues to worry about. Doesn't mean it's also the case here, but it does mean I wouldn't be too surprised if it was.

My hope is that this series will run for hundreds of issues and be nothing but grinding until the last 5-10 issues where he has to fight the evil magicians or demon lord or whatever but he'll be level 999 and just effortlessly curb stomp everyone and then go back to grinding. The end.
