SCP Corporation: Contain Bonfire-Chapter 110 No Need for Castration to Succeed_1
Rumble rumble rumble...
The patterns in Colin’s mind went from blurry to clear, and he felt as if a real, giant fireball had been stuffed into his brain.
As his breath was drawn in bit by bit, he inexplicably gained a deeper understanding of flames.
At the same time, he had a premonition that he vaguely gained some ability to manipulate fire...
"This fireball, isn’t it just the background image in the office? I thought it was a randomly generated image, but now it feels like it’s not that simple, not just random."
Colin sat in his wheelchair, pondering while enjoying the "modification" within his body.
He now had a flash of insight that if he could envision the image of the giant fireball in his mind while using the "Ring of Flame Dominance," not only would his flame manipulation progress improve, but the negative effects would probably be reduced a lot.
No, besides it, all items related to "flame" would have their effects enhanced.
So the reason why that thing has such strong negative effects is because it is specifically meant for "Firebearers"?
"Unfortunately, this aura is temporary, just like warming up near a stove; once you leave the stove, the effect is gone unless you can persuade the stove to move with you."
Colin felt regret, but no matter what, the item had arrived just at the right time.
After all, his mental state had indeed been somewhat irritable lately...
Seated in his wheelchair, basking in the sun, by one o’clock Colin suddenly opened his eyes, feeling as if his body had been "filled up."
Any further absorption would be useless; he needed to go back and digest it a bit before returning tomorrow.
Taking a deep breath, Colin tilted his neck and stretched his limbs, enjoying the comfort throughout his body, a rare feeling as if he had slept well.
"Right, I still haven’t shared the info about ’Passionate Paradise’ with those folks..."
Colin pushed the outer wheel of his wheelchair and headed to a secluded and unpopulated shaded area, taking out the parchment to have a look.
At this moment, the group chat was abuzz with discussion.
After browsing the record for a while, he saw that their plan was to use a "Book of Fate: Fragment" as soon as they entered "Passionate Paradise"; after testing their fortunes, they would proceed with their actions.
If "Passionate Paradise" was not a competitive type of copy, they planned to meet up, exchange information, and face the challenges together.
If it was competitive... they would deal with it then.
Beyond that, according to general logic, they had prepared a large number of sedatives, sleeping pills, and so on. At the moment, they were discussing how these drugs should be used...
"Soul Lock Warden": By the way, is estrogen useful? I got some of that. I asked Baidu, but didn’t get much info. Also, how exactly do we use those other drugs you mentioned before?
"Miss Nell’s Dog": Estrogen? That won’t work well, that stuff needs to be injected over a long period. Both the activation time and the effects are too slow. Plus, our physiques are already somewhat different from ordinary people; it won’t work in time for you now, only useful for those drug queens with long-term use.
"Loafing Immortal": I suggest we all carry injectable types if we have the chance; otherwise, if we really encounter something, the drugs won’t take effect fast enough. Right, our physiques are quite a bit stronger than average people, so we need to increase the dosage when using them. Of course, we can’t just add willy-nilly, or else the possibility of organ failure is also not low...
"Soul Lock Warden": So, I just got some sedatives, how exactly do I use them? Speaking of which, how does Dog Brother know so much...
"Miss Nell’s Dog": Just been tormented by ’Passionate Paradise’ till I became a doctor out of necessity. If we can get through it, any cost is worth it; if not, any talk is futile...
"Loafing Immortal": To participate in the task, everyone should have used three Gene Compensations. Unless you’ve obtained something special, our physiques should be roughly the same. Just use 1.5-2 times the dosage recommended in the instructions...
"Miss Nell’s Dog": Actually, I have a killer move, but it can only be used when the situation is right and we’re in real danger — add progesterone and... the stuff used for chemical castration. Just increase the dosage a bit, one injection, and you become a great Sage on the spot...
"Loafing Immortal": It’s definitely possible, once we get to E level and take three doses of E level Gene Compensation, we should be able to recover... The only issue is these drugs are not easy to come by, I don’t have a source, no idea if Dog Brother...
"Miss Nell’s Dog": Don’t worry, I’ve still got plenty on me, if things go well, when we meet up I can share some with you guys, guaranteeing we can all become saints right then and there...
"Wandering Speedy Lad": Thanks so much, Dog Brother!
"Loafing Immortal": Dog Brother, you’re the best...
"Soul Lock Warden": I’m literally crying here.
"Miss Nell’s Dog": No need for thanks, we’re all poor souls in this Out-of-Control Copy together, we should help each other out where we can. And remember, we shouldn’t just rely on drugs, we also need to make use of special items.
"Loafing Immortal": Speaking of which, @Unnamed123456, where’s Brother Shunzi? He’s been awfully quiet...

"...Feels like I’ve gained more useless knowledge."
Watching the group chat discuss various ways to get killed, Colin thought of the information he had obtained from Lady Bunny, and he couldn’t help but want to spit out a barrage of complaints.
Suddenly, he remembered something from a secret martial arts manual.
The first page said, "To train this technique, one must first castrate oneself," but the last page stated, "No need for castration, success is still possible."
If these people castrated themselves and then discovered something was wrong, they would probably have a very different attitude when speaking to Dog Brother.
However, if it weren’t for the inside information, Colin reckoned he would probably be one of them discussing how to self-castrate with medicine.
After all, chemical castration for Bonfire Company employees is reversible...
In the future, once they reached a higher Authority Level and used the more advanced "E level Gene Compensation," performed proper maintenance, they would mostly likely fully recover without affecting future use.
So, if that were all there was to it, Colin wouldn’t stop them; he’d be happy to see them try self-castration and watch the fun.
But...
The key to "Passionate Paradise" was relying on one’s own willpower, not on external substances, otherwise, there was a risk of falling into some kind of trap, leading to failure, and even possibly reducing his own chances of success.
"I need to find a good excuse to remind them..."
Seeing how excited they were, Colin felt that convincing them "success is possible without castration" might be a little difficult right now.
But by the time they discovered for themselves that castration wasn’t necessary, it might be too late...
No matter what, at the very least, he had to dispel any thoughts they had of using "Book of Fate: Fragment." Taking drugs alone might not affect others, but using "Book of Fate: Fragment" was another story.
After pondering for a moment, Colin thought it best to shroud himself in mystery, acting as though he had some sort of insider channel.
A few minutes later, he roughly had some ideas...
