#40 - Chapter 40: Understanding Skills

At this moment, in Shen Xingyan's eyes, his own attributes in reality were clearly presented before him. After careful examination, he discovered a new line of text had suddenly appeared below his talent skill:

Comprehension: Consume the corresponding amount of Primal Energy to increase the corresponding amount of Comprehension Value, lasting for one hour. Skill cooldown time: 24 hours. Current Comprehension Value: 8 points. (Skill evolved from the Bodhi Leaf)

Seeing the introduction of this Comprehension skill, Shen Xingyan instantly understood his earlier doubts about the leaf, but after understanding the skill, he couldn't help but gasp.

This skill, evolved from that leaf, actually increased Comprehension Value.

One must know that Comprehension and Luck are both well-known hidden attributes, and cannot be increased through level upgrades like the four core attributes.

Generally, without other special opportunities, wanting to increase either of them is harder than ascending to heaven.

Some say Comprehension is wisdom, others say it's understanding, and still others equate it with the mind of a living being. It has multiple interpretations, but it is not limited to these.

Although the Comprehension attribute is somewhat mysterious, making it unclear what its essence is, the effect it can have makes everyone flock to it.

For example, when Shen Xingyan was at school learning a skill, with his initial Comprehension Value of 8, it would take him a day to grasp it. But if someone had a Comprehension Value lower than his, under the same conditions, it would take that person two days to master it.

This is the most common understanding of Comprehension, and it is also the difference between people.

Comprehension determines a person's way of thinking and the speed at which they understand things. It can be said to be an important factor in determining whether a person is a genius.

And now, this Comprehension skill can not only increase this value, but the more Primal Energy one has, the more it increases.

This made him very happy, after all, it was foreseeable that he would add all his attribute points to Primal Energy in the future. Extracting the Primal Energy points from the Star Origin World to the real world could be considered a great use.

Although according to the introduction, it can only be used for one hour of high Comprehension time per day, it is still completely sufficient.

This windfall made Shen Xingyan excited. He thought that with only 8 points of Comprehension Value, he could be among the best in school. Although it was inseparable from his hard work, Comprehension was also indispensable.

Moreover, when he has money in the future, he can also buy some advanced skills to learn, improve his combat ability, and prepare for going outside the boundary in the future. That will be the time when Comprehension comes in handy.

Shen Xingyan's thoughts began to fly because of the arrival of this skill.

Then, after this excitement, Shen Xingyan frowned again, only because he suddenly realized the contradiction of the current situation. This abruptly appearing Bodhi Leaf was a bit too strange.

"How could such an illogical thing appear on a small vole? Could this be a case of being too happy only to be met with sorrow?" Thinking of this, Shen Xingyan couldn't help but feel a "thump" in his heart, and a sense of danger quickly spread through his mind.

Shen Xingyan forcibly suppressed the restlessness in his heart and quickly pondered the possibility of this matter leading to danger, but he was a little confused, feeling clueless, after all, this matter happened too suddenly and inexplicably.

First, a disaster that he hadn't encountered in more than ten years suddenly appeared before his eyes. After being killed by him, he found this Bodhi Leaf on its body, and his Star Origin Card directly absorbed it, and then this skill appeared.

The entire event progressed too dreamlike while also being full of confusion. Now, his subconscious gave him a feeling that if he didn't handle it well, danger would befall him.

This chaotic state made him like an ant on a hot pot, enduring the torment of fire and water, but also feeling helpless.

At this moment, Shen Xingyan subconsciously looked at the Comprehension skill he had just obtained, thinking: Since I don't have a single clue, why not pin my hopes on this "culprit"?

Thinking of this, he unhesitatingly invested all 18 points of his Primal Energy into the "Comprehension" skill.

As the Comprehension skill was activated, the introduction of the Comprehension skill in Shen Xingyan's attribute bar also changed. The number that previously indicated Shen Xingyan's current Comprehension Value as 8, now directly became 17 points!

The Comprehension Value increased by 9 points. The Comprehension skill's increase ratio reached an astonishing 2:1, greatly exceeding Shen Xingyan's previous prediction.

However, Shen Xingyan, who saw this delightful discovery at this time, did not have time to rejoice, but instead began to analyze the incident, racing against time.

Shen Xingying, watching her brother become more and more worried, was also a little at a loss. In her mind, her brother was like the eternal sky of the family, calm and composed, and rarely showed such an expression.

Just as she was about to go up and ask her brother what had happened, she suddenly noticed that her brother's agitated emotions had disappeared in an instant.

Then, a strange aura emanated from her brother's body, and her brother also entered a state of contemplation, which made her swallow the words she was about to say, while looking at her brother with a worried expression.

As his Comprehension improved, Shen Xingyan felt an unprecedented smoothness in his thinking. With the slightest thought, various ideas would come rushing in.

At this time, the thoughts in his mind were like lightning, analyzing, summarizing, and concluding the entire event over and over again.

In a short two minutes, he came up with countless reasons.

Finally, combining the current situation, he chose one of the most credible ideas.

"Could it be that this vole didn't come through the boundary, but was preparing to escape to outside the boundary?" Once this idea appeared, all other thoughts began to slowly become rationalized.

And Shen Xingyan also understood why he had a sense of danger.

After figuring this out, Shen Xingyan immediately ran to the storage room, picked up tools such as shovels, and headed straight for the place where he had fought with the vole.

Before leaving, he did not forget to tell his sister: "I'm going out for a while, you stay at home and don't go anywhere. Don't touch this vole either, just wait for me to come back."

Shen Xingyan said this, and did not forget to show a smile to comfort his sister before leaving.
