So left with 7 Talent Points, he made another decision.
[—Ding! To upgrade Social Talent to Tier 4 – 4 Talent Points will be used. Would you like to go through with this action?]
Again he agreed, leaving him with 3 Talent Points.
[—Ding! Social has Tiered Up to Tier 4!]
This time he didn't really see any noticeable changes, but seeing as the Talent was extremely more passive than his other talents he shrugged it off.
As for why this talent?
Well, [Science] was to boost his personal power and versatility.
[Social] on the other hand was to grow his circle of influence.
He wasn't under any assumptions that he could achieve most of his goals alone, no, he needed people that would follow him into fire if it need be.
This talent did exactly that, increasing his charismatic factor in a way and making people more inclined to trust or open up to him.
That talent was worth more than gold in his books, trust was something one couldn't buy or punch into existence.
So he would cheat, he already had gauged how this talent worked to a basic degree, having studied it's effects on the girls he left back at camp and while chatting with his hiking crew and even more so with Octavia.
So if he were to surround himself with capable people or atleast named characters then he had a high chance at survival, and he was all about surviving.
But he hoped to do more than survive, he wanted to live and thrive.
So as he stared at the 3 remaining talent points, he immediately initialised 3 random talent draws.
The first talent he pulled shimmered in his view, he held his breath as he awaited the verdict.
[—Ding! You've Drawn the Talent — Medicine[3] Grants the user medical instinct, allowing them to greatly infer into any grievances of the body and even the instinctual knowledge on how to treat said maladies–The higher the tier, the more masterful and skilled the user will be in medicine.]
[—Ding! Notice – Medicine is Applicable for the Talent - Growths Effect thus when [Medicine] is activated, the talent will benefit from a temporary +2 boost in its tier.]
And as he remembered, like a dam had been opened, he felt a click, instincts suddenly rushing through his brain alongside knowledge.
With the new talent he felt that if needed he could remedy any basic to moderate illnesses that might assault him but that wasn't all, as seemingly [Nature's Forge] synergized extremely well with the talent, allowing to filter the 'echo' in a way, instead of making him feel all the information and properties of them, now he could feel those that had beneficial properties to the body.
Heck, he could even feel that he could mix toxic or poisonous plants together, as long as he did it in the right proportions then what would come out would be beneficial for some rare illnesses.
And to think that this was before he activated his [Growth] talent, with it the talent would gain a +2 tiers temporarily.
He was about to immediately test how it would feel like if he did exactly that, but before he could, a new screen blurred up infront of him— another talent.
[—Ding! You've Drawn the Talent — Physical Conditioning[4] Grants talent in physical conditioning, not only for yourself but anyone else you wish to train but at half the effectiveness. At this level of talent, allows you to condition your physique up to 80~Body with medium effort.]
He didn't even read through the entire description of the talent before he felt a sensation welling up in his chest.
It felt like a warm soothing heat that slowly enveloped his entire body.
And when it was over he was left there, with his eyes wide and looking around him in confusion.
Mostly because again, his mind was flaring up with information.
Some about how to condition ones body naturally, and the other information coming from [Nature's Forge] showing him of a varying amount of plants that he could use to condition his body.
On the other hand [Medicine] also gave him information on how to safely condition his body, in order to not overdo it and irrevocably stunt his bodies potential.
And once more he didn't get to think much of his second talent, as another quickly settled into him.
[—Ding! You've Drawn the Talent — Tracking[4] Grants great talent in tracking, either for food, prey or locations. You are able to track them with the tiniest of clues presented to you at higher Tiers.]
Staring at the last talent his mind kinda paused for a moment, then as if on steroids he suddenly found himself analysing and investigation his surroundings.
With just a glance he realised that they were close to a river, and looking on the ground his eyes strayed for only a second before finding a broken twig and inches away from it was a hoof print.
' A Hog is closeby in the area...' He thought, information seemingly swimming inside his head before after a while he cut off the connection to that one talent.
It was useful, yes, but being force-fed information was a bit straining for him when he wasn't tracking anything and just getting bombarded by random information.
' Okay, that's the last talent.' He thought, shaking his head with sigh.
[Medicine] would help out a lot, especially in the wilderness and when he'd need to stitch himself and his people up.
[Physical Conditioning] was probably the strongest of the 3 talents he had drawn though, granting the capability to train his body to supernatural levels and even train his own people to supernatural levels even if only by half his capabilities.
Then came [Tracking], a useful and versatile skill especially if he synergized it with some of his other talents.
Like maybe synergizing it with [Nature's Forge]+[Medicine] to find medical herbs for himself or just use [Nature's Forge] to find edible fruit.
He'd do the latter one when he returned to camp, for now–
" Markus! Thank God we found you!"
Came Clarke's voice, breaking him out of his thought processes as he looked behind him and finding Clarke, Octavia and Finn.
" Huh?"
