Chapter 715 - Self Awakening Pill


Name: Self Awakening Pill III(Unique*)


Rank: Unique*

«Self Awakening»: After a series of «Willpower» checks, the user undergoes a special awakening. The longer the user endures, the greater the awakening. Effects vary depending on the consumer.


«Ahead of the Pack»: All sources of experience gained by the user is increased by 3%.


Special Note: Consuming this pill more than once will temporarily increase «Ahead of the Pack» experience gain from 3% to 6% for 1 hour. This effect cannot stack with itself. This effect will not activate more than once every 24 hours. Consuming a higher quality version of this pill will upgrade its effect(s). The chances of «Self Awakening» can only happen upon the user"s first consumption of this pill and increases depending upon pill quality.


"A first rank Self Awakening Pill only provides a base experience boost of 0.5%, while the second rank version of it grants 1%. However, this one jumped all the way to 3%. Even the chances of a Self Awakening have increased by a large margin. It looks like it"s not as simple as doubling with every pill upgrade."


For a Self Awakening Pill I, the chances of experiencing an awakening was only a measly 1%. As for the Self Awakening Pill II, it was much better, providing the user with a 5% chance to awaken. However, both paled in comparison to what the Self Awakening III pill offered with its 20% chance!


"Each jump in quality seems to greatly improve the opportunity for a player to experience an awakening. Still, 20%... With my luck stat, I may be able to scr_a_p_e by, but... No, it"s still not enough. In order to ensure an awakening, I may need to craft a rank five, or, at the very least, a rank four Self Awakening Pill."


Izroth inwardly sighed as he placed the rank three Self Awakening Pill into his inventory.


The next moment, he removed one of the Ageless Vial of Sen that contained the Blood of the Immortal Hydra.


"Should I test it out?"


"To acquire a rank four or five Self Awakening Pill, there"s no question that my best chances of doing so lie with using the mythical rank Blood of the Immortal Hydra. It"s just that I have no idea how much of it will be needed to craft a single Self Awakening Pill."


Izroth had already used various liquid-based materials to craft Self Awakening Pills; however, the amount required differed depending on the ingredient used. Some were a few drops per one portion, while others demanded an entire barrel"s worth to equal one of three ingredients needed to craft the Self Awakening Pill.


"Forget it. There"s no use thinking about it any further. In the end, it"s only a mythical rank material. While the loss would be somewhat regretful, I still have another vial full to use for other purposes."


Izroth unsealed the Ageless Vial of Sen and tilted it over the Dark Abyssal Cauldron. He made sure to carefully control every drop that went into the cauldron; however, Izroth could not move too slow. After all, the last time he left the Blood of the Immortal Hydra sitting in there for too long, the cauldron began to devour it. He did not know if the same thing would happen again, which is why he had to proceed with a certain level of caution.


As Izroth poured the hydra"s blood into the cauldron, the putrid stench quickly filled up the crafting room. Though with the protection of his Heavenly Golden Body, Izroth was able to endure the harmful effects.


99%...


98%...


97%...


Izroth observed as the capacity of the Ageless Vial of Sen started to fall.


95%...


Izroth inwardly furrowed his brows when it reached the 95% mark. That quant.i.ty of hydra blood was roughly enough to fill a one-liter container. If Izroth placed that amount up for auction, it would easily sell for over 20,000 gold coins. And, with the current gold to RMB exchange rate of 1:178, that was more than 3,500,000 RMB!


Izroth continued to pour the hydra"s blood into the Dark Abyssal Cauldron.


It was not until Izroth nearly approached the 90% mark that he finally heard the sound of a system alert ring in his ears.


〈System Alert: 1/3 components for the «Self Awakening Pill» have been collected. [Component: Mythical]〉


"92%... To craft a single Self Awakening Pill would require I use 24% of the hydra"s blood. That means this one pill will cost me roughly 95,000 gold coins every time I want to craft it. But, in reality, the price is probably much higher given the rarity of hydra"s blood. I can only hope the end results do not disappoint."


Now that Izroth got a solid grasp on the exact amount required per component, he swiftly added the remaining two portions of hydra blood to the Dark Abyssal Cauldron.


〈System Alert: 3/3 components for the «Self Awakening Pill» have been collected. [Component: Mythical]〉


〈System Alert: Production conditions for the «Self Awakening Pill» have been met. Pill formation in progress...〉


The cauldron slightly trembled as the hydra blood fused with the cauldron"s flames and swirled into a sphere the size of one"s fist. However, as the seconds went by, the sphere started to shrink as if it were being compressed by a great force.


Once the sphere was reduced to the size of a marble, it formed into a dark-colored pill with a smooth surface as the raging flames within the cauldron settled down. Soon after, the pill levitated above the cauldron.


Izroth sealed the Ageless Vial of Sen and set it into his inventory before taking the pill into his hand.


"The color... It changed. But, that"s not all."


The other Self Awakening Pills Izroth crafted were all light blue in color to the point of being aquatic and gave off the scent of rainfall in summer.


However, this particular Self Awakening Pill had a deep blue shade that was almost on the verge of becoming black. In addition, the scent coming from the pill was like that of a refres.h.i.+ng spring.


But, what surprised Izroth the most was that the pill in his hands was not a rank four nor a rank five Self Awakening Pill.


"Six points of luck and now this. It"s quite fitting that they match."


Name: Self Awakening Pill VI(Unique*)


Rank: Unique*


«Self Awakening»: After a series of «Willpower» checks, the user undergoes a special awakening. The longer the user endures, the greater the awakening. Effects vary depending on the consumer.


«Ahead of the Pack»: All sources of experience gained by the user is increased by 10%.


Special Note: Consuming this pill more than once will temporarily increase «Ahead of the Pack» experience gain from 10% to 30% for 1 hour. This effect cannot stack with itself. This effect will not activate more than once every 24 hours. Consuming a higher quality version of this pill will upgrade its effect(s). The chances of «Self Awakening» can only happen upon the user"s first consumption of this pill and increases depending upon pill quality.


"It"s a shame the Self Awakening Pills seem to be unaffected by Blessing of Craft and my Natural Talent pa.s.sive. Is it because of its nature as a unique pill that came directly from the system? Well, either way, the benefits do not disappoint. Even just taking the experience boost into account makes it more than worth the cost."


For top players that were constantly searching for every edge imaginable to stay ahead of their compet.i.tors, a 10% permanent experience boost was a ma.s.sive advantage! And, to have that effect tripled to 30% by consuming another pill, even if it was just for one hour a day, was nothing short of extraordinary!


Once Izroth consumed the Self Awakening Pill VI, it would increase his permanent experience gain from 5% to a staggering 15%! But, of course, while the experience boost was impressive, what truly caught Izroth"s attention was the awakening.


"95%... With my luck, leaving a 5% room for error should not prove to be an issue. Well, then—shall we see what you can do?"


Without hesitation, Izroth placed the Self Awakening Pill into his mouth as it instantly dissolved.


Thump! Thump!


〈System Alert: You have consumed «Self Awakening Pill VI».〉


〈System Alert: You have gained the pa.s.sive skill «Ahead of the Pack»!〉

Out of nowhere, Izroth felt an overwhelming force crash into his body!


〈System Alert: You are being suppressed by an unknown force!〉
