William progressed through the 14th floor slowly, but with few roadblocks. Even though he didn't have torches to follow, the Navigation Radar kept him from getting hopelessly lost. He only wished he could Ascend the Navigation Talent so it could see the entire floor.
Unfortunately, that would require him to Ascend the Mind Talent, which in turn needed a vial of Superior Calming Liquid. It was a cycle of requirements: once one need was met, everything else would fall into place.
He continued exploring the 14th floor, picking up a few hundred more Quake Dungeon Gems, as well as four random Pills unique from one another with unknown effects. Three of the Pills were Tier 7, and the fourth was a Tier 8 Pill, which made him somewhat excited.
Until William raised his Alchemy Talent to Tier 7 or Tier 8, though, he probably wouldn't discover what these were for unless he asked an expert. He stored them in his Space Ring and continued moving.
Five hours later.
