Beautiful Woman

"Put your things here," Naruto said, pointing to the coffee table in the living room.

"Yes, sir."

The beautiful woman, with her shapely legs, quickly put away the Awakening Potion, while her watery eyes looked at Naruto with admiration.

[Experience Points +0.5]

Naruto ignored the beautiful woman's expression and instead looked at the Awakening Potion on the table.

This stuff can awaken special abilities in people; ordinary people who drink too much of it have a certain chance of successfully awakening one.

After awakening, it's said that drinking this stuff no longer has any effect, and other mysterious potions are needed, though Naruto isn't entirely sure of the specifics.

He wanted the Awakening Potion to see if he could awaken Soul Skill.

Although the body isn't his, the soul is. The key is that his soul is equivalent to someone who hasn't taken the Awakening Potion, at most a semi-awakened person.

So perhaps the potion can awaken his Soul Skill, just like the owner of this body did.

Of course, the chances of awakening failing are greater, but what if it succeeds?

So Naruto decided to give it a try. At worst, he'd just waste some medicine. After all, he was the one who saved this base, and with a single word from him, the entire base would be mobilized. That's the boost that comes with strength.

However, before taking the medicine, Naruto activated his detection ability to check its information.

[Awakening Potion: Lesser Awakening Potion. Ordinary people have a 1% chance of awakening a special ability after taking it. Awakened has a 1 in 10,000 chance of awakening a special ability after taking it again.]

"A low-grade potion? This potion is of such poor quality, do you have any better ones?" Naruto frowned and turned to look at the beautiful woman.

"Sir, this is the best potion in the base. Many people can awaken their powers after taking a hundred bottles. It's a potion that countless people in the base are fighting over."

The beautiful woman quickly explained, her voice carrying a hint of coquettishness.

"The best medicine? This is it?!" Naruto was speechless, feeling that the Dawn Base seemed rather low-class.

"Yes, sir. The vast majority of people in the base awaken using this potion. Some smaller bases use a diluted version, which is one bottle of this potion diluted tenfold."

The beautiful woman continued to explain, appearing very patient.

"Have you heard of a better potion?" Naruto raised an eyebrow.

"Some sirs, it is said that the Alchemy King City has High-Grade Potion, but they rarely flow out; the Alchemy King City consumes them all itself," the beautiful woman continued, her fragrant lips parting slightly.

"The Alchemy King City." Naruto raised an eyebrow.

In the past two days, he has learned about the world and knows that there are four royal cities on this continent, one of which is the Alchemy King City, which is said to govern countless small survivor bases.

However, Alchemy King City is far away from here, and it would take a lot of time to get there. Moreover, their Dawn Survivor Base is an enemy of Alchemy King City.

After all, the Dawn Survivor Base belongs to Angel King City, and many of the base's supplies come from Angel King City.

If they went to the Alchemy King City, it would be tantamount to treason, and they would definitely be wanted. The key issue is that the Alchemy King City might not accept them, and might even send people to suppress them.

Therefore, Alchemy King City is not suitable to visit now; it can only be a future goal.

He shook his head.

Naruto stopped thinking about it and picked up a bottle of medicine to drink. After all, even with a one in ten thousand chance of awakening, there was still a chance. Even if he failed, it would just be a waste of some medicine.

"My lord, once you awaken, taking medicine will have no effect. Some people have drunk thousands of bottles and still had no effect whatsoever," the beautiful woman kindly reminded him.

"Um."

Naruto hummed in agreement and continued drinking the potion, quickly finishing the entire bottle.

A warm current flowed through his body. Naruto carefully sensed the changes brought about by the potion and felt a bit like soaking in a hot spring—warm and comfortable.

Without much hesitation, Naruto picked up another bottle of medicine and started drinking it, just like drinking water, drinking it continuously.

The beautiful woman opposite her widened her eyes as she watched this scene.

She never expected that this person would waste such precious medicine, drinking it bottle after bottle as if it were water.

You need to know.

She had been to many places and was more knowledgeable than the people in this base. Because of this, she clearly understood that even if an awakened person drank thousands of bottles of potions, it would have no effect.

But the adult before me, who is clearly such a powerful Awakened, keeps drinking these potions; it's such a waste.

But she dared not say anything, and could only sigh helplessly, marveling at the extravagance of this lord.

Buzz!

A strange sound suddenly rang out, followed by a burst of white light that emanated from the figure before them.

Seeing this scene...

The beautiful woman froze, her mouth agape as she stared blankly ahead, unable to believe what she was seeing.

It's important to understand that this white light is the Awakening Light, the light that appears when an ordinary person becomes Awakened.

But now.

This person is actually radiating Awakening Light, and they've only drunk a few bottles! Does it have to be this discouraging?

The beautiful woman thought of the more than sixty bottles of Awakening Potion she had drunk when she first awakened, and she suddenly felt a sense of defeat. When she thought of this adult being Awakened, her worldview crumbled.

With disbelief, the beautiful woman hurriedly asked, "Sir... have you awakened a special ability? Could it be that this kind of potion can also cause Awakened to awaken again?"

"Yes, I'm different from you."

Naruto glanced at the beautiful woman, gave a casual reply, and then fell into deep thought.

Because this newly awakened ability is actually a sensory ability, very similar to his previous sensory abilities, although because it is Soul Skill, the range of his sensory perception is not as vast as it was in the Ninja World.

But he was surprised that he could easily sense it within a ten-kilometer radius.

After all, this ability is very similar to his perception ability, which seems to suggest that he might be able to transform his other abilities into Soul Skill through the Awakening Potion.

For example, various bloodlines and mysterious abilities might become his future direction.

[If all abilities could be transformed into Soul Skill through a potion, wouldn't that be defying the heavens?]

A glint flashed in Naruto's eyes, and for the first time, he became somewhat excited. However, he took a deep breath, quickly calmed himself down, and then looked towards the door.

"They're here, go and greet them."

"Okay... okay."

The beautiful woman hadn't recovered from the shock when she heard Naruto's words, and she instinctively moved to the side.

"Where are you going?" Naruto raised an eyebrow.

"Go... go pick them up?" the beautiful woman asked, her mind a little muddled.

"That's the bathroom, you've gone to the wrong place," Naruto said, speechless.

"Huh?"

The beautiful woman froze for a moment, then turned to look to the side. When she realized it was the bathroom, she ran out in embarrassment, feeling so ashamed she wanted to bang her head against the wall. It was just too embarrassing, incredibly embarrassing.

Watching the beautiful woman leave, Naruto looked in the direction of the door and murmured, "That woman seems a bit airheaded."

Shaking his head, Naruto stopped thinking nonsense and waited for Lin Xue and the others to come in.

Soon.

Lin Xue, Mengmeng, and the beautiful woman walked in carrying a pile of things.

Near the entrance, there was Gorilla carrying a lot of things, but it didn't dare to come in. The Black Leopard, however, was small and carried the things, walking in through the door.

"Father."

"Grown ups."

The three women put down a large amount of medicine and cultivation manuals, looking at Naruto with some restraint.

"Have a seat first." Naruto gestured, preparing to enhance Lin Xue, provided he could Insight their information first.
