The first thing she did was look down at the tightness in her chest — and found Steel Wire Ball curled up on top of her, eyes half-closed, sleeping peacefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'No wonder I feel like I can't breathe. Someone put a one-plus-jin lump on my chest.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Activating Light Body Spell, Lan Qingyou slowly rose, one hand cradling the little creature against her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she floated upward, the towel that had been draped over her stomach slid to the floor, and only then did she notice she'd been covered with a blanket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What a heartbreakingly sweet little thing.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She scooped Steel Wire Ball up and placed it on top of her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still foggy from just waking up, Lan Qingyou dashed out of the workshop — only to be greeted by sunlight streaming through the windows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Uh... is the Mana Tide over?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the beam of sunlight, Lan Qingyou glanced back inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The runes that had been flashing for days had dimmed back to their dormant state — just as they'd looked before everything started.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was at this point that Lan Qingyou finally realized the Mana Tide had truly ended while she'd been unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she still needed to check the core on the third floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, even if the crisis was over, replenishing was still necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going up to check: 2,546\u002F30,000 — a little over two thousand minutes' worth remaining. And it was still regenerating at one energy point per minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Lan Qingyou relax, pouring the remaining mana potion from the cauldrons next to the core into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No particular reason — she just didn't feel safe unless the shield core was topped off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once that was done, she tidied up the soup pots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, Steel Wire Ball had woken up too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Squee-squee-squee!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perched atop Lan Qingyou's head, Steel Wire Ball waved its tiny proto-wings — still too underdeveloped for flight — and chirped with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Lan Qingyou's sudden collapse had scared the little owlet half to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that its owner was awake, everything was fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three square meals of mini-barbecue a day were safe once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, the little one's up? Hungry? I'm a bit hungry too. Let's go ask Gu Xiaobei for food.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Steel Wire Ball awake, Lan Qingyou set down the soup pot and lifted the creature to eye level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You probably won't believe this, but I just had a dream. I dreamed I invented this incredible elixir — drink it and it upgrades your talent. I even got recognized by the World Will! Weird, right? Why would I dream something like that? Am I getting dissatisfied with my own talent? Truly, human greed knows no bounds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quite obviously, Lan Qingyou was still in a post-sleep daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dozens of hours without rest had left her with a genuine cognitive disconnect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't believe it? Just look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steel Wire Ball was staring at her with its wise little eyes, wearing an expression remarkably akin to \"concerned for the mentally challenged.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou then floated down from the third floor to the first and took her usual seat at the Magic Desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then... she saw the notification. The same announcement from her \"dream.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait... that was real?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou shot into the air and whipped into the alchemy workshop, gripping the doorframe as she stared at the cooled, prismatic elixir still sitting in the crucible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muttering to herself, she drifted to the crucible and gradually recalled the manic version of herself from a few hours ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So it really happened...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wry smile at the memory of that frenzy, she began the post-processing work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The potion may have cooled, but the dregs still needed to be dealt with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skim with the strainer, drain excess liquid, let it settle again, then filter and portion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once all two hundred vials of Talent Ascension Elixir were bottled, Lan Qingyou finally let out a breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, unable to wait another second, she uncapped a vial and drank it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The taste was... odd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like several different fruit juices mixed together into something indescribably bizarre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her body showed no reaction. Most likely a failure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, no surprise there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five percent sounded low, and it was low. First vial, first try? As if.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Lan Qingyou began chugging vials one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While she drank, she pulled up her personal status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Name: Lan Qingyou\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Race: Blue Star Earthling\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Title: Witch of the High Tower\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Level: Lv1\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strength: 12 (+32)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Agility: 11\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stamina: 12\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirit: 18\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Blue Star Earthling peak values: 10)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>HP: 120\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>MP: 180\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talent: Light Body Spell (E)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magic Skills: Gathering Skill (E)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowledge: Herbology (E), Alchemy (D), Symbology (E), Drawing (E), Potioneering (D), Magic Circuitry (E), Monsterology (E), Mineralogy (E), Mechanical Engineering (E), Material Science (E)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Personal status can also be viewed via the shelter's activation tattoo.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at her stats, Lan Qingyou's tongue clicked in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good grief!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her four core attributes had skyrocketed, and two of her knowledge disciplines had been elevated?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Witch of the High Tower\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Effect: All attributes +10, Potioneering rank +1, Alchemy rank +1\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Function: Enables significantly faster comprehension of all aspects of alchemy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Description: Stars detonate into gold dust within her crucible; moonlight is forged into chains that shackle the surging river of time. Sulfur and roses dance at the tower's peak, each petal crystallizing the incantations of forgotten civilizations. When the winds of the Seventh Era shatter the rusted bronze gates, faded star charts reignite within her pupils. Heroes' bones become alchemy pedestals within the magic circle; scepters and crowns melt into amber twilight inside the distillation flask. The high tower feeds on a millennium of moonlight to grow, its spire piercing the clouds to unleash emerald thunder. The stardust lingering on her fingertips scorches through fate's red thread — all epics are merely the signatures left at the bottom of a crucible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! That's actually pretty poetic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading her title's description, Lan Qingyou couldn't help pressing a hand to her cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lavish praise and glorifying poetry made her feel equal parts embarrassed and proud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she'd earned it by sacrificing her rest time.
