A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 897

Chapter 897: Chapter 630 Joyous Divine Arts Chapter 897: Chapter 630 Joyous Divine Arts “Hahahahaha.”

Looking at the Pink Book in his hands, Duanmu Huai wished he could burst into loud laughter.

In fact, as soon as he touched the book, a system notification had come through.

[Detection of Divine Position “Joy” matching item—-automatic binding]
[Pink Book transformed into the Sacred Book]
[Player has acquired Pink Book Divine Arts Skill]
Ah, finally a prop that can add experience points to the God of Joy!

Duanmu Huai excitedly looked at the new line of Divine Arts he had acquired and couldn't help but feel thrilled. He was well aware that his position as the God of Joy was previously just for show, with little to nothing of substance, save for Zhenjiling's livestream pulling in the crowds and earning him experience. Not like the God of Destruction, where you earn experience for chopping a person or burning down cities.

And for the Old God's Will, as long as opponents lost SAN, he would gain experience.

Only the “God of Joy” was genuinely challenging.

Now it's good news, with the Divine Arts from the Pink Book, Duanmu Huai could use those and start gaining experience.

Let me see what Divine Arts are actually in this book.

Duanmu Huai had naturally heard of the Pink Book's great reputation, but it was a pity he never got his hands on it in the game. Of course, given the game's nature, he figured even if he did get it, he would see a message of [According to local laws and regulations……].

But now it's different!

In the real world, Duanmu Huai could use it any way he wanted!

No one could intervene!

Come on, let's see what useful Divine Arts the Pink Book has!

Duanmu Huai opened the book and began to read carefully.

[Level 0 Divine Arts]
[Hair Removal: Removes hair]
[Touch: Causes a sensation resembling a touch]
“……….”

Level 0 Divine Arts are basically useless.

[Level 1 Divine Arts]
[Vivid Imagery: Generates moving images from text]
[Contraception: Prevents pregnancy]
[Shared Perception: Gain physical sensations of the target]
[Suspicion: Obtain images of the last time the target enjoyed carnal pleasures]
“……….”

Well, Vivid Imagery is quite interesting, but Suspicion… who with a green head came up with this? Does anyone even have such a hobby?

[Level 2 Divine Arts]
[Bloodline Analysis: Analyze a creature's blood relationships within ten generations]
[Mass Unbinding: All non-magical clothing and armor fall off the target]
[Extraordinary Talent: +5 to bedchamber skill checks]
[Resist Temptation: The target gains a +4 willpower bonus to resist charm and enchantment effects]
[Reverse Gender: Changes the gender of the target for 1H/level]
Hmm, of these… [Mass Unbinding] and [Resist Temptation] are quite useful spells… after all, even a mage wouldn't enchant their underpants, right?

By the way, [Bloodline Analysis] could totally be used as a magic version of a DNA test… as for [Reverse Gender]… hehehe, Duanmu Huai had already thought of dozens of uses for it.

[Level 3 Divine Arts]
[Bliss Technique: The caster can overexcite the target's pleasure center to the highest state, causing the target to enter a state of extreme excitement for a duration, with any living being targeted receiving a -2 willpower save against this spell, and even if the save is successful, the target still suffers 5D6 points of damage]
[Accentuated Curse: The next time the target reaches a climax, they suffer 1D6 (up to 10D6) level damage]
[Healing Sphere: The area within the sphere receives a healing of 2D8+1/level]
[Life Binding: Establishes a permanent connection with the loved one, able to sense their location and situation]
Leaving aside the first two, [Healing Sphere] is indeed a very good spell, Duanmu Huai doesn't possess healing abilities, and this Divine Art could somewhat make up for that shortcoming, though Duanmu Huai thought it was probably not very useful for himself—-as for [Life Binding], although it looks nice… isn't it just like installing an all-day GPS tracker on someone?

[Level 4 Divine Arts]
[Group Bliss Technique: Just like the Bliss Technique, it can affect all creatures within a thirty feet radius.]
[Mass Unbinding: Just like Unbinding, it can affect all creatures within a thirty feet radius.]
“………”

For some reason, Duanmu Huai suddenly wanted to try using [Mass Unbinding] followed by [Group Bliss Technique]… Tsk tsk tsk, the scene would be too beautiful to bear…

[Level 5 Divine Arts]
[Life Ward: Shields that exclude all non-living objects, including swords, magic items, and clothes]
Simply put, it's a question of face or life.

[Level 6 Divine Arts]
[Unity of Body and Mind: The spellcaster establishes a connection with the target, similar to 'Guardian of Others', and can share spells]
This seemed to be the most useful Divine Art Duanmu Huai had seen so far. The effect of guarding others means taking the damage on behalf of the spellcaster, basically a magical version of covering fire. Not only that, but it also allows sharing spells between each other, meaning that powerful spells could be launched simultaneously in retaliation. In simple terms, if Duanmu Huai and Ann used this spell, then Duanmu Huai could use Ann's magic, and attacks on Ann would be defended by Duanmu Huai instead.

It seems the Pink Book is not just about color after all.

[Level 7 Divine Arts]
[Chastity Edict: The target shall not experience pleasure for twenty-four hours, or else they will suffer death, dizziness, or weakness effects]
If Duanmu Huai had this Divine Art in his original world, he would have gone out on Valentine's Day and cast it on everyone he met…

[Level 8 Divine Arts]
[Aura of Peace: Designates a protected area, and attackers of this area will take 1D6 levels of damage]
It's just unclear how large this area is. If he could protect an entire fleet, then Duanmu Huai would cast “Aura of Peace” on his own fleet when he goes to war, and the enemy's attack would be reflected back… Hmm, it's unknown if such a good thing could happen.

[Player gains the effects of the Domain of Joy]
[Power of Joy: The player gains the ability of Virginity Breaker, twice a day, which can be attached to a single melee touch or attack, and if the target fails a Will save, it will be considered under the effect of the Bliss Technique]
Speaking of which… Virginity Breaker, what the hell is that, a pink version of a Smite Evil?

Having finished reading through the Pink Book, Duanmu Huai silently closed the book.

How should I put it… These Divine Arts are usable, just a bit distasteful to the eye.

Of course, besides this, there were also many other strange but very useful spells.

For instance, [True Word: Castration] — well, the name says it all.

And [Painless Childbirth]… These spells would be quite suitable for Priests to use when preaching, but not so much in combat.

After all, no one is going to give birth while fighting, right?

For Duanmu Huai, acquiring the Pink Book was an unexpected pleasure, and so he no longer considered anything else. After getting the Pink Book, he left the Marvelous Treasures Shop with Ogis. Incidentally, Ogis chose a gift as well–a black umbrella infused with Dark Arts, but it suited her well.

After that, Duanmu Huai returned to the inn only to see Kasim running over with a glum face and a brightly red cheek.

“Mr. Duanmu, you really went too far!”

“Oh? What happened?”

“That place is obviously…!”

Watching Duanmu Huai, Kasim was on the verge of tears. He and Roxia had followed Duanmu Huai's directions to the House of Healing, but before they could even push the door open and seeing the scantily clad women outside, Kasim's eyes nearly popped out of his head, and Roxia was both ashamed and angry, slapping Kasim before turning to run away. Kasim had no choice but to return, and now Roxia wouldn't even let him inside; she just made him reflect outside…

Kasim felt unjustly treated; it was Duanmu Huai who'd pointed the place out, how was he supposed to know it was that kind of place!

But of course, Duanmu Huai didn't care.

“They do offer massages there. I didn't say anything wrong.”

Duanmu Huai spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and as he watched, Kasim was speechless. Luckily, at that moment, the last person returned as well.

“I'm back… uh, what's wrong with you guys?”

“Nothing, just a bit tired from going out.”

Greeting Amelia who had just come back, Duanmu Huai also spoke up.

“Yo, how did it go?”

“Uh… it's fairly normal, but…”

“But what?”

While speaking, Amelia lifted her head and looked at everyone with a serious expression.

“Actually, Master Kelben has a task he wants us to help with…”

Then, she began to speak.
