Awakened Talent: 10,000 Exp Converter! - Chapter 154

Chapter 154: Upgrade Quantity
Chapter 154: Upgrade Quantity

[You have unlocked your talent skill: Upgrade Quantity!]

“It’s here!” he thought, his heart pounding with excitement.

Ever since he awakened his talent, he had been wondering why he couldn’t see this option in the choices.

He thought he probably hadn’t met the requirements yet so he was not worried too much about it. However, he had been wondering when he could unlock it.

Fortunately, it didn’t take so much time.

Even so, he wasn’t foolish enough to underestimate the skill. He was keenly aware that something this powerful would come at a high cost. Broken skills like this never came cheap.

Still, he didn’t waste time marveling at the notification. Since there was already an item right in front of him, he decided to test the skill without delay.

.

Target Item: Low Quality Tier 1 Experience Potion (Common)

[Unable to Upgrade]

[Upgrade Quantity: Possible]

[Upgrade Quantity (Common)]

100,000 Experience Points = x10

1,000,000 Experience Points = x100

2,000,000 Experience Points = x1000

Vincent’s brow furrowed slightly as he examined the system’s interface.

It was clear that the feature placed significant emphasis on an item’s grade.

This detail intrigued him. It meant there were likely additional requirements for upgrading higher-grade items, which made sense.

After all, balancing was necessary for such a powerful ability.

Curious to see how the skill worked on different items, he reached into his storage ring and retrieved an uncommon-grade item.

Target Item: Blackrat Hide (Uncommon)

[Upgrade Quality: Possible]

[Upgrade Quantity: Possible]

[Upgrade Quantity (Uncommon)]

200,000 Experience Points = x5

1,000,000 Experience Points = x50

2,000,000 Experience Points = x500

His theory was confirmed.

The experience point requirements for upgrading quantity varied based on the quality of the item.

This realization gave him a clearer understanding of how the skill operated.

Next, Vincent decided to test a rare-grade item to see if the pattern continued.

Target Item: Tier 1 Experience Potion (Rare)

[Unable to Upgrade]

[Upgrade Quantity: Possible]

[Upgrade Quantity (Rare)]

500,000 Experience Points = x2

1,000,000 Experience Points = x4

2,000,000 Experience Points = x8

“It became so expensive…” he muttered but he felt that it was understandable.

If the cost didn’t scale with the item’s rarity, the skill would be absurdly overpowered.

He could simply lock himself in a room, drink experience potions endlessly, and grow stronger with no effort.

Lastly, he took out his Astral Crown, an epic-grade item. He was wondering if it was possible to multiply the quantity of an epic-grade item.

The moment the Astral Crown appeared on his hand, it emitted a mysterious radiance. Mochi, who was lying on the bed, quickly noticed it. Her previous bored expression turned to a faint surprise.

She could only wonder where her master found an epic-grade item which was already very rare in Origin World.

Unaware of Mochi’s reaction, Vincent focused entirely on the system interface in front of him.

Target Item: Astral Crown (Epic)

[Upgrade Quality: Possible]

[Upgrade Quantity: Possible]

[Upgrade Quantity (Epic)]

2,000,000 Experience Points = x2

“It’s possible!”

Even though the skill only allowed him to multiply the item by two, Vincent wasn’t disappointed. In fact, he was thrilled.

Being able to multiply an epic-grade item at all was extraordinary. He couldn’t imagine anyone else in the world possessing a talent as broken as his.

In the back of his mind, Vincent also had a theory. He believed there was a chance that his skill would improve over time, perhaps allowing him to multiply higher quantities in the future.

With this optimistic thought in mind, he carefully returned the Astral Crown and the other items to his storage ring.

The only exception was a low-quality Tier 1 experience potion (common-grade).

Vincent wanted to test the practical effects of the skill, but there was one small problem—he had completely run out of experience points.

Unfazed, he retrieved a single experience potion from his storage and drank it, instantly refilling his experience bar. Once his points were replenished, he pulled out another potion.

For now, he ignored the option to break through to Tier 2 (2★). Instead, he focused all his experience points on increasing the quantity of the experience potions.

[Do you want to use 2,000,000 experience points to multiply by 1000?]

[Yes!]

The moment he confirmed the action, the experience potions in front of him began to glow with a blinding white light. The intensity of the glow forced both Vincent and Mochi to shield their eyes.

When the light finally faded, Vincent couldn’t help but grin. Before him were 1,000 additional low-quality Tier 1 experience potions.

“H-How?!” Mochi stammered, her child-like voice ringing in his mind.

Vincent ignored her for the moment, picking up one of the potions to inspect it. It felt solid and real in his hand, indistinguishable from the original.

Curious, he uncorked the potion and drank it in one gulp.

But nothing happened.

Frowning, he waited a few moments before drinking another. Again, there was no effect.

“What’s going on?” he muttered, confusion evident in his voice.

Could these potions be defective?

To test his theory, he drank the original potion he had multiplied.

This time, the system notification rang out loud and clear:

+100 Experience Points!

Talent Activated!

+100,000 Experience Points!

It worked.

The original potion had an effect.

Wondering, he turned to the shocked rabbit, Mochi.

He held out an experience potion and said, “Can you try this and tell me if it worked for you.”

Mochi was still baffled as she subconsciously accepted the experience potion. With her innate appraisal skill, she immediately learned its information.

“You know this won’t work on me. I’m a primal.”

Vincent nodded, “I know, I just want to know if it really has an effect.”

Confused, Mochi simply drank the experience potion in one gulp.

Soon, Mochi felt a faint energy entering her body but quickly went away as if it was not compatible with her body.

“How was it?” Vincent questioned.

Mochi tilted her head before answering, “Like a normal potion, it works but it doesn’t stay in my body.”

Vincent rubbed his chin in realization.

‘So it wasn’t a fake. It seems that I am not allowed to use a replica other than the original… but there’s no problem for others to use it…’

He couldn’t understand why but he had no choice but to accept it.

In any case, it won’t stop him from exploiting his talent. If he couldn’t use the replica, he could sell it and use the money to buy originals.

Although it would give him a slight hassle, it was the best choice he could think of right now.

Nevertheless, it was a good thing!

He couldn’t help but imagine a future where he commanded an army of Origin Warriors, each equipped with complete sets of epic-grade—and perhaps even legendary-grade—gear.

His thoughts were interrupted by Mochi’s voice. “How did you do it?!”

Vincent smirked and replied simply, “I just can.”

“Tell me!” Mochi demanded.

But Vincent only laughed in response.
