#280 - Chapter 280: Original Energy

Shen Xingyan's self-disclosure of his identity earlier was intentional. After all, being discovered inadvertently like that had a much better effect than if he had deliberately revealed himself.

Moreover, with the existence of the Transformation Mask, he didn't need to worry about being exposed at all. At the same time, he could also enjoy the feeling of being 'the center of attention'.

At this age, although he was much more mature than his peers, he inevitably still had a touch of youthful exuberance. Being able to directly experience this kind of attention did indeed satisfy his emotions.

“This feeling of ‘showing off in front of others’ is certainly quite enjoyable, but I still need to restrain myself. After all, my strength is currently in a period of rapid growth, and I can't afford to have any accidents. In the future, I need to be more cautious in my actions, and make decisions only after careful consideration!”

After enjoying this feeling, Shen Xingyan began to self-criticize in his heart, and also made a deep reflection on his previous lack of thorough consideration.

“Based on what happened just now, it seems that I still need to add a combat profession appearance to my Transformation Mask template. That way, it will be more convenient to enter various designated venues in the future.

And the business hours in the future also need to be adjusted. I can't always be waiting on the periphery of the crowd every time I come over.”

While Shen Xingyan was thinking this, his hands didn't delay much. He directly put all the money in the counter into his wallet.

“I sold all 580 kilograms of peonies I harvested this morning, with a turnover of 87 gold coins.

But after deducting the 10% 'tax' fee paid to the Star Origin World, the money I received this time is only 78 gold coins plus 300 silver coins.

Counting my original 2 gold and 278 silver, I now have 80 gold coins plus several hundred silver coins again, and I can extract 8 more points of Origin Energy limit to the real world!”

Shen Xingyan looked at the dazzling golden numbers in his wallet, and a smile appeared on his face. He kept the grocery store closed, allowing the image of the unfathomable 'Old Farmer' to continue to ferment, and then directly returned to the Professional Space.

As soon as his figure stabilized, he immediately moved his mind and directly submitted a request to the Star Origin World to extract 8 points of Origin Energy limit. He spent money so readily, without the slightest hint of heartache.

Having the ability to make money quickly, Shen Xingyan, facing this 'consumption' at this time, had the confidence of 'money will come back after it's all spent!'

As the request to extract attributes was sent, the Star Origin's prompt also appeared in front of him:

“Ding ~ Extracting this attribute requires spending 80 gold coins. Do you want to extract it?”

Seeing the shining number of 80 gold coins, Shen Xingyan naturally nodded without hesitation to confirm.

Between his nods, 80 gold coins disappeared suddenly, and then a feeling of losing and regaining the Origin Energy attribute came again.

Experiencing this feeling and looking at the five hundred or so silver coins left in his wallet, Shen Xingyan couldn't help but smile and say:

“In the past, in my opinion, dozens of silver coins were already a very large number, enough for my brother and I to 'squander' for a while, but now that I have several hundred silver coins, I feel a little 'poor'. I've really 'gone bad'!

It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality. The ancients were indeed telling the truth!”

After completing the attribute extraction, Shen Xingyan didn't stay in the Professional Space any longer. With a thought, he directly returned to the real world, ready to use his Comprehension Skill.

In the real world, Shen Xingyan, who had awakened from his cross-legged meditation, opened his attribute panel and saw that his Origin Energy had reached 111/111 at this time. He couldn't help but nod slightly.

“Although this number looks a little lonely, its essence is that my Origin Energy has once again reached a new height.

Using this value of Origin Energy to cast the Comprehension Skill will result in an increase of more than fifty points of Comprehension Value, and the progress of the 'Power of Equilibrium' will also be greatly improved!”

After briefly admiring his Origin Energy attribute, Shen Xingyan didn't delay any longer, and directly muttered in his heart: Activate 'Comprehension Skill'!

Under the control of his mind, all the Origin Energy in his body began to surge frantically, and after being transformed by the Comprehension Skill, it instantly acted on his brain.

The feeling of soaring Comprehension Value also surged violently, causing his brain to feel an unprecedented clarity, as if any random thought in his mind would produce multiple analysis routes.

Moreover, the novelty and subtlety of the angles were something he would never have thought of on a normal day.

At the same time, the transparent little man in his mind reappeared and began to automatically practice the increasingly profound 'Power of Equilibrium'.

The charm in the transparent little man's movements was completely different from two days ago, and the speed of his improvement gave people a feeling of having no upper limit.

Moreover, as the Origin Energy consumed by the Comprehension Skill increased, the transparent little man's improvement seemed to be strengthened, and the charm revealed in his movements became more and more rounded and natural!

Shen Xingyan looked at the transparent little man in his mind and smiled slightly. He now had a kind of instinctive intimacy towards this 'good teacher':

“If it weren't for the guidance of the transparent little man, it would have been impossible for me to reach my current speed of improvement. Although this little man is just a phantom generated by the Comprehension Skill, I have to say that he can indeed be called my good teacher and helpful friend!”

Shen Xingyan thought lightly, then didn't delay any longer. His body's movements began to dance with the transparent little man, and the analysis of the movements in his mind was also proceeding frantically. The movements on his body were also corrected accordingly, and the whole person was completely immersed in it.

Thus, after more than half an hour, Shen Xingyan, who was immersed in the exercise, suddenly felt a familiar sense of comfort emerge in his body.

Already knowing what was happening, knowing that it was the level of the 'Power of Equilibrium' increasing, he didn't stop his movements, and was still immersed in comprehending and correcting his own movements.

It wasn't until the hour of the Comprehension Skill ended, and the Comprehension Value began to plummet like a cliff, and the brain returned to the relatively chaotic state it was usually in, that he slowly stopped the movements of his hands.

“Although I'm already used to it, this feeling of falling from the genius stage is really a bit uncomfortable. Moreover, the higher my Origin Energy attribute is in the future, the greater this contrast will be!

Fortunately, upgrading the 'Power of Equilibrium' will increase my mental attribute, which can slightly resist this feeling.”

Shen Xingyan thought this in his heart, while adapting to this feeling, and opened his attribute panel, looking at his 'Power of Equilibrium', as well as the attribute values that had changed with the skill's upgrade.
