#42 - Chapter 42 Danger Relieved

"My lord, we followed the traces all the way here and found signs of a fight between that stinky rat and someone else. The traces indicate that the stinky rat was likely injured and fled," a man in black said, bowing to a burly man who looked impatient.

This man, who stood out among the many men in black and possessed considerable authority, was clearly the leader. He merely glanced at the traces on the ground and frowned, saying, "Check the direction of the final escape route."

The man in black quickly responded and was about to investigate further when another man in black suddenly appeared beside the burly man and respectfully said, "My lord, we found traces of the rat's blood ahead, it's fleeing towards the border!"

This man in black was clearly an expert, and he was very confident in his judgment based on the various traces.

"Pursue!" the burly man ordered without hesitation.

With the burly man's command, all the men in black vanished from the spot, arriving at the edge of the border wall in less than a minute.

However, they didn't see any trace of the giant rat. After some investigation and based on the talent skill shown in the data, the men in black reached a final conclusion and reported to the burly man:

"My lord, the rat's last trace disappeared here. It seems to have used its talent skill 'Blink' to escape beyond the border. Should we continue the pursuit?" The man in black reported the news to the burly man, asking him to decide.

Upon hearing this, the burly man didn't show any anger. Instead, he yawned and said, "Compile this conclusion into a report for me. Since that little guy has escaped beyond the border, we can't do anything in that complex and changing environment. Let's call it a day!"

After saying this, the burly man disappeared from the spot decisively, but before leaving, his muttering could still be faintly heard:

"If I had known this would be the result, I wouldn't have wasted two days and two nights chasing. I had to be careful about the impact along the way, making me feel like a thief. I didn't even get a good night's sleep, and I couldn't participate in the raid. The family members are a bunch of..."

The surrounding men in black looked at each other with strange expressions upon hearing these words. However, they knew the burly man's personality and chose to pretend they hadn't heard anything. They exchanged glances, both seeing a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes, and then disappeared into the night.

At this time, Shen Xingyan didn't know that his arrangement had produced significant results, successfully deceiving those experienced searchers.

If he knew, he would definitely marvel at the power of this Comprehension skill and feel a surge of good fortune. After all, he had planned with intention against those without, and only achieved this effect with the added bonus after strengthening his Comprehension. It was incomparable to those who had been engaged in search work for many years.

After having dinner with his sister, Shen Xingyan returned to his room to start exercising.

While exercising in the room, he also occasionally observed the movements outside. Although it seemed to him that the arrangement just now was already very perfect, he was still afraid of a possible unexpected situation.

Fortunately, several hours passed, and everything around was still very calm. Shen Xingyan slowly relaxed.

After exercising for several hours, Shen Xingyan saw that the time to enter the Star Origin World was approaching, so he stopped exercising, went to the kitchen to fill his stomach, and returned to his bed to wait for the countdown to enter the Star Origin World.

"The real world is still too dangerous, especially now that I am weak and have a body full of secrets. A single mistake could expose me. It really feels a bit apprehensive. I still need to quickly improve my strength. Everything else is secondary. At this stage, I can only hope that the farmland yield breaks records, and the Star Origin World can reward me with something to improve my strength," Shen Xingyan thought to himself as he lay in bed.

As the cooldown time ended, Shen Xingyan connected to the Star Origin Card and skillfully appeared in his professional space.

Shen Xingyan looked at the peaceful farmland scene in front of him and compared it with the situation in reality, unable to help but sigh.

At this time, seeing the eleven little skeletons working diligently in the fields, Shen Xingyan felt that they were even more lovable.

Wangcai and the other skeletons also noticed Shen Xingyan's arrival and couldn't help but turn their skull heads to look at him.

"Keep busy!" Shen Xingyan said with a smile.

Through the mental connection between him and the little skeletons, and in this unusually quiet planting space, the sound was also amplified a lot, so even if he spoke in a normal volume, all the little skeletons could receive the instruction.

The eleven little skeleton heads also obediently returned to the farm work in front of them, and began to work steadily.

Seeing that the little skeletons had all started to get busy, Shen Xingyan nodded with satisfaction.

However, he didn't go down to the field to join them, but found a comfortable place to start resting.

Now that his professional skills and talent skills haven't fully cooled down, he can only use this time to recover his energy. After all, after using his professional skills later, those crazy Star Origin prompts that come flooding in can't be cleared away in a short time.

While resting, Shen Xingyan opened the Star Origin Mall and entered "Bodhi Leaf" to search, after all, the Star Origin Mall seems to have everything. As long as you can afford the price, you can find almost anything here. He also wanted to see what kind of attributes this thing had.

The final search results surprised him greatly, causing him to stand up directly from lying down.

Item: Bodhi Leaf

Value: 1000 gold coins

Attribute: Can be used to increase the Comprehension value of a professional. The younger the professional, the higher the increase (there is a certain chance to awaken the corresponding skill)

Usage Restriction: Can be used 3 times per person

"A small leaf actually costs as much as 1,000 gold coins, it seems that I really made a fortune this time!"

At this time, the Bodhi Leaf in the Star Origin Mall actually showed that one piece required 1,000 gold coins. Wouldn't that be worth at least 10,000 gold coins in reality?

Moreover, he actually triggered the probability and awakened the Comprehension skill, which made him feel incredible!

This discovery made Shen Xingyan, whose mental strength was almost exhausted, feel a little dizzy.

"Did I just easily have a fortune of ten thousand gold coins? This is too magical!" Shen Xingyan still couldn't believe it.

However, danger sometimes coexists with opportunity. If he hadn't had the following guidance, good fortune might have turned into disaster. Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and the way of heaven is cyclical.
