He first picked up the two-star skill book: [Whirling Throw].
[Whirling Throw Skill Book: Teaches you to comprehend the 'Whirling Throw' skill, with a 100% success rate.]
"This skill book was created by a powerful, high-level Awakened."
Su Xiaoxiao was happy to say a few more words to Bai Pu, and she popularized some knowledge about skill books.
Skill books are divided into two types.
One type is made by Awakeners, and the other is produced by the Spirit Realm.
For an Awakened to create a skill book, they must first cultivate the skill to an extremely high level!
Then, on a specific "substrate," they must completely record their skill insights for later learners to comprehend.
Specific substrates are generally the skin or bones of monsters with related skill talents. For example, the substrate for the [War Stomp] skill is generally the leather from special parts of monsters such as Kodo Beasts, Earth-Rending Rhinos, and Centaurs.
Substrates are hard to find.
Many rare skills simply cannot find monsters with related skill talents. Even if a strong person cultivates the skill to an extremely high level, there is no way to record their insights and pass them on to later learners.
Therefore, ordinary skill books have a relatively sufficient supply. As long as you have Honor Points, you can learn them as many times as you want.
However, rare skill books produced by the Spirit Realm cannot be exchanged for with Honor Points so easily. Ordinary permissions can't even search for them! Su Xiaoxiao said, "I suggest you learn the most precious [Unstable Shield] first. This is a rare skill book produced by the Spirit Realm Will. Currently, no Awakened in the real world can create it."
Bai Pu nodded. The more skills and the stronger the skills an Awakened already has, the lower the success rate of comprehending new skills.
So, learning the most precious skill first to ensure high comprehension efficiency makes sense.
Bai Pu opened the [Unstable Shield] skill book, and a burst of light particles spewed out, turning into a stream of information that flooded into his mind.
A terrifying furnace suddenly appeared before Bai Pu's eyes, filled with colorful magic flames. Chaotic energy rapidly expanded, reaching a delicate balance in the trembling.
Then, with a bang, the energy exploded.
[You have learned the two-star skill: Unstable Shield. Current skill level: 1.]
Along with the prompt, Bai Pu clearly felt that he had initially mastered this skill and could view the specific data.
The shield created by [Unstable Shield] has a damage absorption of up to (45) points, which is three times the Stamina attribute.
Similarly, the maximum damage value that the shield can cause to surrounding enemies when it explodes is also 45 points.
A group attack with 45 points of damage is definitely considered powerful in the early stages.
The only drawback is that it takes 3 seconds to detonate. Bai Pu has to be careful not to be consumed too much by enemies after activating the shield, otherwise it will have no power.
Bai Pu then picked up the [Whirling Throw] skill book again. Now, the comprehension success rate of [Whirling Throw] has dropped to 97%.
"It's still at 97% success rate?" The people next to him, including the well-informed Su Xiaoxiao, were stunned.
"I remember that Mad Dog's success rate was 91% when he learned his second skill. That was already the highest in our batch... and his first skill was only one-star," Qilin murmured.
"Xiao Bai Pu's hidden attribute: Comprehension, must be ridiculously high!" Su Xiaoxiao asserted.
Bai Pu smiled, then held his breath and focused his mind, opening the skill book.
A scene appeared before his eyes: an Awakened as burly as a mountain, his body slightly arched, like a fully drawn bow! Then, he swung his arm, and a shield whistled out, drawing a beautiful arc full of power, and smashing a distant tree in half! The shield's momentum did not diminish, and it continued to draw an arc, flying back into the Awakened's hand.
No small probability event occurred; Bai Pu successfully learned [Whirling Throw].
For the third skill book, [Leaping Strike], Bai Pu's comprehension success rate dropped to 85%. He still learned Leaping Strike; having an extra movement skill is quite useful.
"Good heavens, the success rate for the third skill book is the same as my second one..." Black Tiger clicked his tongue and said, "If you go and learn a fourth skill now, the success rate will probably still be over 60%."
"I don't have any Honor Points," Bai Pu said. It wasn't just that he didn't have any; he was still 300 points in debt.
"When you level up to Level 2, learning a fourth skill will have a higher comprehension success rate than at Level 1," Su Xiaoxiao said.
"That's right, the Awakened's success rate in comprehending skills is related to their level and class template. The stronger the class template and the higher the level of the Awakened, the higher the success rate in comprehending skills. Especially at Level 4 and Level 7, which are the two thresholds for intermediate and advanced Awakened, the increase is particularly significant," Qilin stated this common knowledge.
Bai Pu stretched, and after finishing what he needed to do, a strong sense of drowsiness washed over him.
The fatigue from clearing three levels of the White Bone Dungeon and comprehending three skills in a row was almost crushing him.
"Go and rest quickly, get some sleep, or your Spirit power simply won't recover," Su Xiaoxiao said with concern. "Your room is arranged at number 237; here's your key."
Bai Pu yawned, "I still want to familiarize myself with the skills a bit more..."
However, he could barely keep his eyes open.
Waking up, Bai Pu raised his wrist terminal.
The intelligent assistant Xiao Bai reported, "Master, you slept for 3 hours and 46 minutes. The current time is 5:27 PM. You have a package placed at the door, sent by Ms. Su Xiaoxiao. She also left a message."
Bai Pu sat up, feeling energetic, all fatigue swept away.
He opened the door to get the package, which contained a set of clothes.
Su Xiaoxiao's message played at the same time: "Little Bai Pu, I bought you a set of clothes, a white hoodie, black trousers, matched with white sneakers. I feel it suits your temperament~"
Bai Pu discovered that the package even contained unopened underwear and socks.
He couldn't help but cover his face. How did Su Xiaoxiao know that he had just returned from the Spirit Realm and wasn't wearing underwear...
It must be his looks at play. Bai Pu still wasn't used to this feeling of being held in the palm of a beauty's hand, like a star surrounded by the moon. For more than a decade, he had been a transparent figure, and he couldn't change his mindset in such a short time.
He gave Xiao Bai an instruction to scan how much this set of clothes cost and then transfer the money to Su Xiaoxiao through his social account.
After the deregistration from the Security Bureau, Bai Pu's personal account could be safely used.
Although Bai Pu was very poor, with very little money in his personal account, it was, after all, his entire savings, and it was enough to pay for this set of clothes.
A strong sense of hunger surged, and Bai Pu quickly put on his clothes and shoes, opening the door.
"Su Xiaoxiao said that the base has a self-funded restaurant. Xiao Bai! Help me locate it!"
Beep beep, the wrist terminal projected a holographic screen, showing the floor plan of the God Strategy Army's Xi City branch base.
From Bai Pu's current location, a green line extended, turning twice, pointing directly to the restaurant's location.
Bai Pu secretly praised the convenience and intelligence of the personal information terminal. He couldn't afford such an expensive personal terminal before. He followed the navigation route and quickly arrived at the restaurant.
The God Strategy Army base's restaurant was a buffet style, with a layout somewhat like a cafe, with partitioned spaces, each partition containing small tables for four or two people.
There were very few people in the restaurant now, scattered in various corners.
In the southeast corner booth, Bai Pu found Li Ling and Su Xiaoxiao sitting opposite each other.
Li Ling was communicating through her personal information terminal, her expression very unhappy.
"Xiao Bai Pu! Here, here~" Su Xiaoxiao waved her hand.
Bai Pu, carrying a full load of food, walked over and sat down next to Su Xiaoxiao, then began a whirlwind-like sweep. His energy consumption was a bit high, so he had to replenish it as soon as possible.
Su Xiaoxiao rested her cheek on one hand, watching Bai Pu devour his meal with interest, and said leisurely, "Oh, Xiao Bai Pu, how do you manage to eat so fast and still have such good table manners?"
