Chapter 6 : Second-Level Activation
Chapter 6: Second-Level Activation
“Supply crate?”
He hadn’t expected to find something so technologically advanced out here in the wild.
It reminded him of treasure chests in certain games.
After examining it carefully, he placed his hand on the latch in front of him and applied a bit of force.
Click!
It opened surprisingly smoothly.
Accompanied by a rhythmic metallic sound, the box slowly opened.
【Opening successful.】
【Obtained: Second-Level Activation Potion (Green) ×1】
【Obtained: Micro Energy Core (White)】
【Obtained: Interdimensional Recruitment Blueprint (White, Basic, Weak Contract)】
“Damn.”
Two white, one green—three items in total, and among them was even an Interdimensional Recruitment Blueprint.
“I already have these Exiled Sinners, do I still need to recruit more?”
Su Wen glanced up at the five people in front of him.
All of them were male without exception.
After being recruited, their overall Loyalty had increased, but not by much—the highest hadn’t even reached 50 yet.
Would switching to another type be better?
With that thought in mind, he looked toward the topmost item again.
【Micro Energy Core】
【Quality: White】
【Effect: Grants 50 Energy.】
“Not bad.”
Energy was extremely important—it was currently the primary source of military strength.
20 Energy for one person. If he had enough, wouldn’t he essentially have an army?
“Let’s go.”
With that thought, he issued an order to his subordinates and prepared to return the way they came.
When they passed by the corpse, Su Wen ordered them to clean it up and bury it in a pit dug far away.
After that, everyone took up their stone axes and began chopping trees, preparing to build a simple wooden hut.
The sky gradually dimmed.
【Detected level ground.】
【Beginning construction: Black Wolf Den (White, Basic, Beast Race).】
【Consumption: Dry Wood ×20, Stone ×10, Reserve Energy 100 points.】
“That much?”
For a building of the same level, the energy consumption was actually five times that of the Bitter Cold Wooden Hut, and the resource cost was also higher.
In Su Wen’s understanding, higher consumption usually meant greater strength.
And this creature belonged to the Beast Race.
“Wolves? Hmm… you get what you pay for, I suppose?”
A trace of anticipation rose in his heart. Once enough resources were gathered, he planned to start construction immediately.
Wood and stone could be accumulated gradually—the key was whether this creature was cost-effective.
【Item: Second-Level Activation Potion】
【Quality: Green】
【Effect: After an individual has activated their Potential, during their first breakthrough, if Awakening is incomplete, a second Awakening can be performed (if Awakening is already complete, this potion will have no effect).】
“Looks… pretty good?”
The key was that this thing was of green quality.
Green—although quite high-tier compared to the mostly white items he had obtained so far—was actually still considered relatively low-tier.
He glanced at his clone, then thought about his main body.
After some consideration, he decided to give it to the clone.
The pale blue potion dripped into her hand. Eluan opened the cap and sniffed it, finding a faint fragrance.
She stuck out her tongue and lightly licked it.
“No taste?”
No—there seemed to be a cool sensation sliding down from her tongue into her throat, and then into her chest.
After waiting for a while without any discomfort, she drank a little more.
A few minutes later, she finally dared to gulp it down in one go.
The familiar process of Potential activation appeared again.
But this time, it felt more like a continuation of the previous one, and even a strange fluctuation was transmitted to the main body.
Before long…
【Fantasy Symbiosis has obtained a special effect: Distilled Nectar.】
“Huh?”
Unexpectedly, the activated Potential had manifested on the main body’s side.
The two bodies looked at each other in surprise.
Su Wen stroked his chin and checked the corresponding effect.
【Distilled Nectar: The clone can drink water with mild contamination (toxins), filter it into clean liquid, and expel it from the body through the hands or legs. Impurities and toxins can also be discharged separately from different areas without harming the body.】
“I see… a water purifier.”
Unlike ordinary purifiers, this one required the girl to drink the water herself and then filter it through her body.
Expelling it through the hands or legs also felt a bit strange.
Did it seep out directly through the pores?
Eluan’s skin was so delicate that her pores were invisible to the naked eye… perhaps it seeped out directly from the cells.
“Mild contamination also means the liquid can’t be too dirty.”
By that logic, the water from the small stream earlier was actually quite suitable.
While his subordinates busied themselves, Su Wen found a piece of wood nearby and carved a groove into its surface. Then he had one of the Exiled Sinners fetch a bowl of water from the stream.
The liquid was quickly handed over.
Eluan took it and swallowed it in one gulp.
“It’s quite sweet.”
Almost the moment it entered her body, she understood what to do.
Su Wen stood nearby and waited. Soon, he saw liquid gradually seeping out from the girl’s fingertips.
Even through her black clothing, he could feel her body temperature rising.
Her originally pale skin slowly formed tiny droplets, which soon flowed to her fingertips and dripped toward the ground.
Su Wen placed the bowl beneath her fingers.
Drip!
The liquid landed precisely inside.
He tried having her secrete from the entire arm. Sure enough, before long, fine beads of water appeared across it.
“Not enough water.”
If the hands worked, then that meant…
A thought flashed through her mind. She walked over to a nearby stone and gently sat down.
Taking off her shoes, the girl glanced at the main body and slightly raised her leg, showing a hint of embarrassment.
“It really has to seep out from the legs?”
It felt a bit strange.
But since the one watching was herself, it didn’t seem too embarrassing.
The next moment, liquid began to flow along her long legs wrapped in black pantyhose. Water droplets seeped through the dense fibers, turning the damp stockings semi-transparent as they clung tightly to her legs, revealing a faint hint of skin tone.
【Pure Water Without Impurities】
Su Wen swallowed and crouched down, positioning the bowl beneath the droplets at her ankle.
The stream of water flowed along the curve of her thigh, passed her knee, slid down her calf, and finally gathered at her ankle.
Before long, beneath her slightly raised leg, a thin stream formed, dripping from her toes.
Su Wen swallowed again and subconsciously looked away.
He sneaked a glance at the few people in the distance, who were busy working, seemingly not paying attention.
No…
At that very moment, someone turned their head.
Cade, who was in charge of preparing firewood, happened to witness this scene.
