14: Talent potion, disappearing words!

As the Talent Potion went down, Xia Qi smacked his lips, a slight sweetness, a very smooth texture, and a surprisingly good taste.

"Ding, Awakening Value +1."

"Ding, Awakening Value +1."

"Ding, Awakening Value +1."

Hearing the prompt, Xia Qi immediately checked his attribute panel.

Name: Xia Qi.

Talent: Congenital Double Pupils Lv1 (10/100)

There were no changes to his other talents; only Congenital Double Pupils showed a progress bar next to it.

One Talent Potion ultimately provided ten points of Awakening Value to Xia Qi, meaning it would take ten Talent Potions to level up.

As for why other talents didn't show such a progress bar, it's likely that these talents were originally copied using the Double Pupils ability, and the Talent Potion couldn't affect copied talents.

Feeling a warm sensation throughout his body, Xia Qi glanced at the five remaining Talent Potions in the box, opened them one by one, and drank them all.

A few minutes later, feeling the abundant energy and fullness in his body, Xia Qi confirmed a fact.

That is, the Talent Potion indeed possessed the ability to fill one's stomach.

Looking at the six empty tubes in the trash can, the Awakening progress of Congenital Double Pupils had already reached 60 points, meaning Xia Qi only needed to get four more Talent Potions for his naturally awakened talent to level up.

"I wonder if, after the Double Pupils talent upgrades, it will be able to copy S-Rank Talent."

Xia Qi sat at his desk, opened his phone, and began browsing information.

After becoming an Awakened, the school would upload the information of new Awakened, and many software related to Awakened could now be used.

Awakened Forum APP.

This is a commonly used software that every new Awakened will enter and check.

It contains a large amount of information related to Awakened, such as dungeon guides, new Awakened matters, talent utilization, and other information that new Awakened can find relevant materials in the APP for learning and reference.

Click on the dungeon guide section.

Xia Qi first searched for dungeon information near Jiangcheng, primarily looking for the dungeon 【Twisted Jungle】 that Wang Changyuan had told him about.

Dear Awakened, this article is a brief post about the new Awakened dungeon 【Twisted Jungle】 in the East District of Jiangcheng. Collecting information was not easy, so if you think this humble writer did well, please don't forget to give a like.

Below it was an anime girl as the floor-guarding image. The girl was lying on a bed, showing a sweet smile to the viewers, and most importantly, she was wearing black stockings and suspenders, both cool and cute.

Xia Qi silently gave a like and continued to scroll down.

【Twisted Jungle】

Recommended Rank for clearing: Rank 10-12 (Advanced Talent can be adjusted appropriately, but no lower than Rank 8)

Main monsters: Rank 10 Twisted Treant, Rank 11 Shadow Treant, Rank 12 Venomous Treant, Rank 10 Camouflage Treant (with image).

As the name suggests, the core monsters of Twisted Jungle are Treants. If it's a regular professional team, it's best to have fire-type talent or Thunder Control talent Awakened join, as fire and lightning attributes have a strong counter-effect against Treants, which has been tested and proven effective.

If there are no elemental attribute Awakened, it's best to bring some fire-attribute or lightning-attribute Dao items, which will significantly boost the team's leveling efficiency.

For example, weapons with Adhesion fire-lightning attributes, one-time use items, etc.

Once all of this is prepared, everyone can begin their joyful leveling journey...

The entire article was quite detailed, and after browsing it, Xia Qi had a general idea.

【Twisted Jungle】 is of ordinary intensity, with dense monster numbers, very suitable for Thunder and Fire attribute talent users to level up. And the talent he copied, Thunder Control, was precisely a lightning attribute. It could be said that this dungeon was very suitable for Xia Qi to solo.

"President Wang was thoughtful; he saved me a lot of trouble."

Xia Qi casually tipped the writer ten yuan. He swore it was absolutely because the content was good, and had nothing to do with that floor-guarding image.

There were many posts in the Awakened Forum, and new Awakened often felt lost and overwhelmed when they first entered. Occasionally, they would find one or two suitable posts, only to click in and find it was clickbait.

Besides the information provided by Wang Changyuan, Xia Qi also wanted to find something useful, but found it wasn't that simple.

He simply closed the APP and opened another software, Taobao.

This is a software used for transactions among Awakened. Some transactions are settled with money, while others involve bartering or exchanging items by issuing tasks.

"Talent Potion!"

What Xia Qi was looking for, naturally, was the Talent Potion that could awaken talents. Now, his talent Awakening was only 40 points short of Awakening Value. If he could buy the potion, he could upgrade his Double Pupils talent to Lv2 within three days.

Unfortunately, no matter what keywords Xia Qi used, the results always showed "no such product for sale."

Indeed, things like Awakening Potions simply don't circulate on the market.

They are rare items that have a price but no market.

"I'll have to think of other ways."

Bored, he tossed his phone aside. Xia Qi lay quietly on the bed, staring blankly at the empty ceiling.

The next second, Xia Qi's eyes began to ache, and then, tears streamed down uncontrollably.

"What's going on?"

Xia Qi was startled. Just as he was about to wipe away his tears, he suddenly froze.

"Never let anyone know the secret of your eyes!"

On the ceiling, a line of striking blood-red characters appeared before Xia Qi's eyes. After about a two-second pause, the chilling blood-red characters vanished.

"Hallucination, or?"

Xia Qi abruptly sat up. The ceiling had returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

"Never let anyone know the secret of your eyes."

Xia Qi blurted out. He had clearly seen that sentence; it definitely wasn't a hallucination.

He had lived alone in this house for three years. Could it be that someone else had been here?

Flipping out of bed, Xia Qi thoroughly checked every inch of the house, which he could see through at a glance, three times, but ultimately found nothing.

In this house, besides his parents' relics, there were only traces of his own life; it was impossible for a second person to exist.

Furthermore, even if someone had broken in and left words on the ceiling, why would they go to such trouble instead of just telling him directly?

After tossing and turning for a long time, Xia Qi simply lay back on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling with vacant eyes, intending to replicate his previous actions.

He stared for a full half hour, and tears did come out, but it was because his eyes ached from staring at the ceiling for too long.

"Strange, too strange."

Analyzing that sentence, it was a warning to Xia Qi, with no intention of harming him.

"Is there something spooky? Or, could it be that the only one who could say such a thing is myself?"

After much thought, and ruling out other possibilities, the conclusion Xia Qi finally reached made his scalp tingle.
