#118 - Chapter 118: Continue to Survive

After picking up his younger sister from school, Shen Xingyan returned home with her. In high spirits, he busied himself in the kitchen, elevating the sumptuousness of their dinner to a new level.

Then, under his sister's delighted gaze, they began their dinner. During the meal, his sister shared various news from her class with Shen Xingyan, who responded to each one, acting as a dedicated listener.

However, just as he was becoming interested in the children's playful antics and thoughts, he suddenly heard his sister say:

"Brother, today some base patrol officers came to our school, saying they were conducting a normal investigation. They asked me a lot of questions about you!" Shen Xingying said, shoveling rice into her mouth.

Hearing his sister say this, Shen Xingyan paused for a moment, thinking to himself, "As expected, the previous incident wasn't so easily resolved. It seems the allure of the Talent Stone is indeed great. Fortunately, I canceled the world announcement. I should continue to keep a low profile in the future."

While thinking this, he asked, "What questions did they ask you?"

"Most of them were about your daily activities and whether there was anything unusual about your usual behavior. What could be unusual about my brother? It's really funny. I just told them the truth."

"But don't worry, brother. I didn't mention a single word about that secret you told me to keep!"

Shen Xingying chattered on, raising her eyes towards her brother, the hint of expectation for praise very obvious.

Seeing his sister's adorable expression, Shen Xingyan smiled gently, affectionately ruffled her hair, and praised without reservation, "My cute sister is so smart! You'll definitely be stronger than everyone else in the future!"

Seeing his sister's smug and adorable appearance, Shen Xingyan shook his head slightly. However, he was thinking about what his sister had just said, and he felt a little scared. Fortunately, he had been controlling himself well on weekdays.

Although he knew that even if he were eventually found, the outcome wouldn't be too dangerous, being controlled was an unavoidable consequence.

After all, even with great potential, that was still a matter for the future. Compared to immediate benefits, in this era where individual strength is infinitely amplified, very few people have the patience to wait for him to grow, and he dared not gamble on that chance.

"I should still keep a low profile. Give myself at most one or two more years, and I should have a certain say," Shen Xingyan thought silently in his heart.

After the siblings finished dinner, he went directly to the profession space according to the talent skill's cooldown time and summoned his little skeletons for the day, bringing the total number of little skeletons to 34.

Then, he returned to the real world and continued to practice the Power of Balance in the training room. Without the blessing of the Comprehension skill, his improvement speed was basically constant.

"Huh, brother, why did you change your routine again today?" Shen Xingying, who had just walked into the training room, noticed that her brother's movements were completely different from before and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Hearing his sister's question, Shen Xingyan simply said that he had just learned it today, and then he taught his sister the set of movements, move by move, without holding anything back.

However, after an hour of teaching, he found that his usually clever sister couldn't grasp the essence of the movements at all, and the movements she made didn't have the slightest shadow of that charm.

This made Shen Xingyan feel very puzzled: "Could it be that this growable skill has some restrictions?"

Thinking of this, he immediately thought of the problem of comprehension. After all, he had learned this skill in a state of skill comprehension, and his comprehension was as high as 17 points at that time.

Even if his sister's comprehension was higher than his, reaching the full value of 10 points, it was still no match for him at that time.

"Could it be because of the limitation of comprehension that this set of movements was broken down and taught? Is that why it hasn't been taught on a large scale?"

Shen Xingyan felt that there should be this reason, but it shouldn't be just because of this, otherwise he wouldn't have even heard of it.

Somewhat confused, he could only put this doubt aside.

On the other hand, Shen Xingying, seeing that practicing this set of movements didn't have much effect and wasn't as effective as the previous physical training, had no choice but to give up temporarily and continue to practice the modified body refining movements.

Seeing his sister like this, Shen Xingyan didn't stop her.

Since there was no way to let his sister learn this set of movements for the time being, he could only wait until he had more money in the future to buy some 'Bodhi Leaves' to improve his sister's comprehension, and maybe she could trigger a skill comprehension like him.

If others knew about his 'why not eat meat porridge' idea, it would probably attract a burst of ridicule.

Not to mention the limitation that each person can only use three 'Bodhi Leaves', even without this restriction, wanting to awaken a skill through 'Bodhi Leaves' is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

He could think like this because he didn't know how low the probability of 'Bodhi Leaves' producing skills was.

It was only because he was favored by the goddess of luck that he was able to obtain such a powerful skill. Even if other families went bankrupt, it would be difficult to achieve this goal.

Even if a skill could be produced occasionally, it might not be Shen Xingyan's type of comprehension skill. After all, the description of 'Bodhi Leaves' only says that it produces a corresponding skill, and this skill could be any skill related to comprehension.

At this time, Shen Xingyan, who didn't know how lucky he was, let his sister, who had been training for 3 hours, go back to rest, while he continued to train until 12 o'clock. Seeing that the time to cultivate Origin Energy had arrived, he ended his training.

He opened the attribute panel to check and found that the progress of the Power of Balance had reached 6.5%. Looking at this real-time feedback data, he smiled.

After returning to his room, he connected to the Star Origin Card and entered the Star Origin World.

Standing in the peaceful planting space, Shen Xingyan looked at the acre of watermelon field in front of him, which was growing well. He squatted down, gently patted the watermelon under his feet, and nodded with satisfaction.

"When this Origin Energy cultivation is completed, it will be time to harvest the watermelons. I wonder what kind of surprise this watermelon field will give me this time," Shen Xingyan muttered to himself with a hint of anticipation.

Then, he briefly checked the work of the little skeletons, walked to his old position, and comfortably lay down, while starting the Origin Energy cultivation function and quickly entering a state of sleep.
