Chapter 112

Кhаn wаs сonfident thаt hе wаs bеttеr at <Geo Аrс> than anуone еlsе.

Тhе ‘Аnсient Tоwer,’ the lосatiоn оf <Gео Аrc>’s finаl cоntent and thе ultimаtе Вoss Mоnster.

Еven the number оf Usеrs who had reaсhеd that tower was less thаn а hundred among countlеss gаme plаyеrs, аnd thе оnly one who hаd ever rеасhed the finаl Воss at the tоp of thе Ancient Tоwеr was Khаn аlonе.

‘But what оn earth is this guy tаlking abоut?’

Тhe world of <Geo Аrc> thаt Кhаn had еntered wаs аlmоst identicаl to thе wоrldviеw hе knеw, yеt slightlу diffеrent.

In sоmе aspects, more time had passed compared to the worldview Khan knew, and in others, time was flowing exactly the same as in the worldview he knew.

After hearing Eddy’s words, Khan, momentarily at a loss for words, belatedly replied.

“Do you have… a Low-Rank Talent Blooming Potion?”

“I have both the Lowest-Rank and Low-Rank Talent Blooming Potions! Actually, for the Lowest-Rank and Low-Rank Talent Blooming Potions, you only need some Goblin blood and a few other simple Materials, but from Intermediate-Rank potions onward, completely different Materials are required.”

“…May I check them once?”

“Of course! It goes without saying, but if you need them, feel free to take them. Making the Lowest-Rank and Low-Rank Talent Blooming Potions isn’t that difficult either. Please come this way!”

Eddy guided Khan and Sharin to a room separately prepared on the right inner side of the shop.

At that moment, Sharin lowered her voice and whispered to Khan.

“But Master, can I also try that Talent Blooming Potion?”

“I was actually planning to give you a Talent Blooming Potion later. Wait for now.”

“Yes…!”

As far as Khan knew, the Talent Blooming Potion wasn’t that great a potion for ordinary Mages.

Especially for Mages without Talent like Khan, consuming the Talent Blooming Potion had no effect.

‘Thanks to the opportunity I gained before and the Sage’s Heart, I can obtain more Mana sleeping within my heart, but for someone at Sharin’s current level, is it about time to start potion crafting?’

In the game, this was expressed as ‘potion crafting,’ and usually, one could start potion crafting when reaching around the 3rd Circle or having a pure Mana Capacity exceeding 10,000.

‘Sharin should be sufficient to start.’

It was better to do potion crafting as late as possible.

The later, the more Mana increased and the stronger one became, the more outstanding the effects of potion crafting were.

‘I should ask Eddy and try to get even the Lowest-Rank Talent Blooming Potion.’

And it wasn’t yet confirmed as fact.

If Eddy’s words were true, it would be an incredibly good thing for Khan.

‘Then I could immediately consume the Low-Rank Talent Blooming Potion and increase my Mana much more.’

For Khan as well, consuming the Talent Blooming Potion later was more beneficial.

However, since Khan’s Mana Capacity was still on the lower side, for faster growth at this stage, it was okay to proceed with early potion crafting.

If Eddy’s words were true, he could consume the Intermediate Talent Blooming Potion later.

Thus, Khan and Sharin arrived inside the room following Eddy.

Khan checked the potions placed on the display stand.

The Talent Blooming Potion Khan was looking for was on the left side.

[Talent Blooming Potion]

• Item Rank: Common

• Level Restriction: 1

• Item Description: Upon consuming the potion, the Talent sleeping within the body blooms.

It was an ordinary, that is, a Lowest-Rank Talent Blooming Potion.

“Eddy, this is a Lowest-Rank Talent Blooming Potion. What’s going on?”

“Ah, Sir Khan, the one you just checked above is the Lowest-Rank potion, and the two remaining here below are the Low-Rank Talent Blooming Potions.”

As soon as he heard Eddy’s words, Khan checked the Talent Blooming Potion below.

[Low-Rank Talent Blooming Potion]

• Item Rank: Common

• Level Restriction: 1

• Item Description: Upon consuming the potion, the Talent sleeping within the body blooms.

Khan could confirm that there was a Low-Rank Talent Blooming Potion.

‘A Low-Rank Talent Blooming Potion really exists…?!’

What on earth is going on?

As far as Khan knew, the world he had entered was set several years later than the worldview he had played.

So, could it be that during that time, the Low-Rank Talent Blooming Potion, between the Lowest-Rank and Intermediate-Rank, was newly developed or something?

Eddy, who had been watching Khan from the side, slowly opened his mouth.

“Judging by your reaction, it seems you really didn’t know. One of the things newly developed by Alchemists in recent years is precisely this Low-Rank Talent Blooming Potion.”

“Newly developed?”

“Yes, the Manufacturing method itself isn’t much different from the Lowest-Rank Talent Blooming Potion, so it’s really easy to make. Any Alchemist with a certain level of skill should know how to make it.”

“Then, may I take this Talent Blooming Potion?”

“Oh, of course! Sir Khan, Sir Khan, you are the lifesaver who saved me and my brother. So if there’s anything you want, feel free to take as much as you like! Of course, that’s only for today… Later, I’ll sell it to you at a cheap price, haha.”

Whether Eddy was an inevitable merchant or not, he didn’t say he would give it for free next time either.

“Then I’ll take both. And I’ll take one more Lowest-Rank Talent Blooming Potion.”

“Yes, please do as you wish!”

“Thank you. Sharin, you thank him too. These two are yours.”

Khan handed one Low-Rank Talent Blooming Potion and one Lowest-Rank Talent Blooming Potion to Sharin as he spoke.

“Huh…? These are really mine? Wow, thank you so much, Mr. Eddy! Is it really okay for me to receive something like this…?”

“Haha, Lady Sharin also saved me, so of course I should give you at least this much! If there’s anything else you need, feel free to take it!”

“Wow… Thank you!”

Actually, when Khan looked around Eddy’s shop earlier, he had also checked if there were any items that might be useful for Sharin or Byutek.

Unfortunately, there weren’t any particularly useful items for the two.

‘Actually, just knowing that this Low-Rank Talent Blooming Potion exists and obtaining it is more valuable than receiving most items.’

The difference between being able to consume the Talent Blooming Potion one more time or not was truly enormous.

Because Khan could awaken and absorb the Mana dwelling within his heart, and it was also an opportunity for Sharin to draw out her Talent once again.

‘I’ll have Sharin consume only the Lowest-Rank Talent Blooming Potion for now, and have her consume the Low-Rank one later.’

Having organized his thoughts, Khan took back the Low-Rank Talent Blooming Potion he had handed to Sharin and put it into his Spatial Pocket.

“Sharin, when we return to our lodgings today, drink the Lowest-Rank Talent Blooming Potion right away. Just drinking that will allow you to become much stronger than you are now.”

“Ah, yes! But why did you take back the one you gave me…? Wouldn’t drinking that now also make me stronger?”

“This one… It will be better to drink later.”

“If Master says so, then it must be right. Understood!”

Sharin also put the received Lowest-Rank Talent Blooming Potion into her own Spatial Pocket.

Khan and Sharin had now finished all their business at Eddy’s shop, and since the sun was gradually setting, they said goodbye to Eddy as they left the shop.

“Eddy, I’ll visit again soon within a few days.”

“Yes, understood. I’m not doubting Sir Khan and Lady Sharin’s abilities, but… still, the Gate I told you about is an exceptionally dangerous Gate around here, so please be careful!”

“Alright, thank you.”

Thus, after saying goodbye to Eddy, Khan and Sharin arrived at their lodgings they had booked in District 6.

“Sharin, make sure to use the Talent Blooming Potion before you sleep tonight. Starting tomorrow, when we enter the Gate, I’ll have you hunt Monsters too.”

“Ah, yes! Understood! Hehe… I can finally show Master a little bit of my ability. I’ll go to my room now! Goodnight, Master!”

“Alright. Sleep well too.”

The two, having exchanged goodbyes in advance, entered their respective lodgings inside the Inn.

As soon as Khan entered his own lodging, he took out the Low-Rank Talent Blooming Potion from his Spatial Pocket.

‘If I consume the Low-Rank Talent Blooming Potion, growing stronger in the future will become much easier.’

The Gate for which Eddy asked to gather Materials was actually quite dangerous for Khan’s current level.

The number of Monsters was exceptionally high, and their Levels all basically exceeded 70.

‘Frankly, it’s a tough place for my level.’

Therefore, Khan decided to consume the Low-Rank Talent Blooming Potion immediately.

Khan drank the Low-Rank Talent Blooming Potion without hesitation.

Gulp. Gulp. Gulp.

At that moment, a message appeared before Khan’s eyes.

[You have consumed ‘Low-Rank Talent Blooming Potion’.]

[A portion of the Mana sleeping within the heart has awakened.]

[Mana Capacity increases significantly.]

Oooooom…!!

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeng…!!!

Along with the message, a considerable amount of Mana began to surge from Khan’s heart.

Thanks to this, it spread around Khan’s body, and he could immediately tell that he had gained even more Mana than when he had consumed the Talent Blooming Potion before.

‘This much… As expected, it was good that I consumed the Talent Blooming Potion.’

It was just as Khan was having that thought.

Oooom…!!!

Kukukukukukukukukudoooom…!!!

Suddenly, an immense amount of Mana surged from the direction of the room next to Khan, shaking the entire Inn.
