#318 - Chapter 318 New Skills

"This reward for breaking the record actually includes free attribute points, which is quite rare."

"The few times free attribute points appeared as a reward before, it was only when the 'Longevity Tree' broke a record. I even thought free attribute points were exclusive to Spirit-ranked crops. I didn't expect these Level 4 crops to have them too!"

"Although the free attribute points rewarded aren't much, only 16 points, it's still an extra income. This alleviates my previous concerns about Origin Energy to some extent."

For others, an extra 16 free attribute points might be a significant amount, causing them to become extremely excited upon receiving them. However, for Shen Xingyan, who naturally gains attributes every day, it didn't cause too much excitement.

He only felt a slight sense of security in his heart. Then, he turned his gaze to the Talent Stone, a genuine smile now appearing on his face.

"Free attribute points are good, but they can't compare to this little stone at all. It's the driving force behind my progress!"

Thinking this, Shen Xingyan directly took out 100 silver coins and gave them to the Star Origin World. After the announcement disappeared, the lovely stone also appeared in his inventory.

Taking the Talent Stone from his inventory, he stroked the treasure-like black stone while focusing his attention on another plot of Bai Shao farmland ready for harvest.

With a thought, 'Object Manipulation' instantly activated. Under the guidance of his mental power, it quickly enveloped the entire plot of Bai Shao crops. As he increased the output of Origin Energy, all the Bai Shao were completely 'pulled' into the air and naturally surged towards his inventory.

After practicing 'Object Manipulation' for this period, Shen Xingyan controlled it more and more skillfully. The slightly stagnant feeling at the beginning had disappeared, replaced by naturalness and smoothness.

At the same time, the harvest notification for the Bai Shao appeared before his eyes:

"Congratulations, you have planted 600 square meters of Bai Shao this time, with a harvest yield of 560 kilograms, gaining 42,000 Farmer profession experience points."

Shen Xingyan's gaze landed on the harvest yield this time. Seeing that the value had increased compared to the last time, he nodded slightly in approval, feeling 100% confident in this reward.

After the harvest was completed, he stood quietly in place, waiting for the Star Origin notification of breaking the record this time.

And as he expected, after waiting for more than ten seconds, the record-breaking yield notification for Bai Shao began to echo throughout the entire professional space:

"Congratulations, you have broken the current record you created of 545 kilograms per mu of Bai Shao, successfully reaching 560 kilograms."

"You are specially rewarded with a random rare skill. Star Origin will make a full-area announcement. Do you want to disclose the information?"

Seeing the reward in the notification, Shen Xingyan felt his eyes suddenly light up, and his entire spirit also rose. The appearance of a new skill made him couldn't help but smile.

"This time's reward is another random skill box, and it's even of the rare level. My skill library will be expanded again."

"And this time's skill shouldn't be too bad. After all, I previously obtained 'Clone Technique' and 'Object Manipulation' through this random skill. These two skills have fundamentally improved my combat ability in the real world."

"With these two examples in front, I wonder what kind of skill I will get this time?"

Shen Xingyan was a little curious, and couldn't help but rub his hands with a smile on his face. Then, he directly took out 100 silver coins and applied to the Star Origin World for a request to cancel the announcement.

The Star Origin World was also not procrastinating, directly taking the money and disappearing. Then, a small box naturally replaced the original location of the prompt.

And after a slight pause, it began to rotate automatically from slow to fast. At the same time, the inside of the small box also began to emit a trace of dazzling light.

Having experienced this phenomenon twice, Shen Xingyan did not show any surprised expression, but carefully observed with a look of anticipation.

Through the emitted light, he vaguely saw densely packed skill icons inside, randomly floating as the small box rotated.

The box seemed to be a world of its own. All the skill icons looked complicated together, but there seemed to be a force of mutual repulsion, with no intersection between them.

"I wonder if there will be a day in the future when I can obtain all the skills in the small box. I would probably be much safer at that time, but this wish is a bit extravagant," Shen Xingyan muttered to himself as he looked at the box.

While Shen Xingyan was having some 'delusions', the rotation speed of the small box in front of him also reached an extreme, and then burst out a dazzling light, making the entire professional space white.

This situation only lasted for a moment. When the white light disappeared, everything in the professional space returned to its original state.

However, what happened next made Shen Xingyan frown involuntarily.

Not because of anything else, but because the area where his gaze was focused was now empty, and the skill icon he had expected did not appear.

This discovery made him feel a burst of doubt, thinking: "What's the situation? Why didn't the skill icon appear? Could it be that opening a skill box also has a 'blank prize'? Or did the explosion of the box just now 'explode' my skill away?"

After thinking about this possible outcome, a bitter smile appeared on Shen Xingyan's face, and he began to think with his head down.

However, just as he was a little depressed that this situation would occur, he suddenly felt something enter his brow. He was very familiar with this feeling, it was the feeling of obtaining a new skill.

Seeing this, he swept away the slightly depressed mood just now, and quickly opened the attribute panel, his gaze falling on the skill area. He saw a new skill appearing before the two skills 'Object Manipulation' and 'Origin Energy Condensation':

Invisibility (Rare): Consumes 10 points of the user's Origin Energy per minute. After activation, the user will enter an invisible state as a whole. If subjected to substantial attacks or active attacks, the invisible state will be lifted, with a cooldown time of 30 seconds.

After reading the introduction of this new skill word by word, the corners of Shen Xingyan's mouth unconsciously grew bigger and bigger.

"So the reason why no icon appeared is because this time's skill is Invisibility. The icon that has always corresponded to the skill is also in an invisible state, so I didn't see it. This matter made me think something unexpected happened!"
