Chapter 47 Hidden Skills

Shen Xingyan emerged from his previous state of anxiety and felt a sense of delight in his heart.

He felt that his day had been incredibly exciting, and while he knew that a large part of it was due to his own overthinking, the good outcome at the end was enough to make him happy.

After the thrilling experience, Shen Xingyan grew curious about the little skeletons having a hidden Skill.

He checked the description of Summon Skeleton on his attribute panel but found no mention of "Madness Skill" or similar information.

Moreover, when he previously checked the attributes of Lucky and the others, the Skill column had always shown as 'none,' but now a hidden Skill suddenly appeared, which both surprised and confused him.

Shen Xingyan couldn't help but frown slightly, trying to search his mind for information about "hidden Skills."

However, the final result was that he couldn't find any information on the matter.

The school curriculum, apart from practical combat, only taught basic knowledge and rarely touched upon such advanced content.

The materials he studied himself also made no mention of this, and he had never heard anyone else discuss it.

Somewhat perplexed, Shen Xingyan pondered for a while but came up with no ideas, so he gave up on this exploration.

After all, only a little over a hundred years had passed since the Origin Energy eruption, and the world was now completely different from before; much knowledge was unknown to humans or only held by a very small number of people.

What was currently revealed to humanity was merely the tip of the iceberg of this world.

Although he stopped pondering, Shen Xingyan still tried searching for the words "hidden Skill" in the Star Origin Mall, hoping to see what inspiration the almost omnipotent Star Origin Mall would give him.

However, the final result was a cold string of text: "You currently do not have permission to view related information."

Although Shen Xingyan had somewhat anticipated this result, he was still a little disappointed, but he thought it was normal; if he could search for related information with his current authority, then this information wouldn't be inaccessible in reality.

"I can only wait until I reach a higher level to see what this hidden Skill is all about!" Shen Xingyan sighed inwardly.

Thinking that his Little Skeleton actually possessed a mysterious hidden Skill, Shen Xingyan looked at Lucky and the others with increasing astonishment.

It was also his first time wondering where these little skeletons were summoned from, what kind of place it would be, that even such weak little skeletons would possess this kind of Skill?

If he hadn't been anxious just now and ordered the little skeletons to work with all their might, and if the command hadn't been issued by his most trusted Lucky, he probably still wouldn't have discovered this hidden Skill.

However, Shen Xingyan also knew that thinking about these things now was meaningless; the increased efficiency of the little skeletons' labor was the real good news.

With Lucky as a precedent, Shen Xingyan also checked the other little skeletons and found that their attributes were identical to Lucky's, all in a Berserk state, and their overall attributes had all temporarily increased by 1 point.

Feeling a bit uneasy, he carefully examined the final outcome brought by this hidden Skill, and only after careful consideration did he fully relax.

The description of the Berserk Skill was very clear: it consumed 1 point of health per minute until the little skeletons' health reached its last point, at which time the Berserk Skill would automatically stop.

And 1 point of health for the little skeletons had little impact, as they were beings without stamina limitations, and naturally, they would not enter a weakened state like professional cultivators due to reduced health.

Moreover, within these 20 minutes, they would all receive a +1 increase to all attributes, an increase equivalent to double their own attributes.

Although the fundamental reason was that their own basic attributes were too low, for Shen Xingyan, this increase was still very astonishing.

Although little skeletons with this Skill would merely be slightly stronger cannon fodder on the battlefield.

However, when placed in this planting space, this Skill was like a divine Skill!

Not only could it more than double the little skeletons' work efficiency, but it could also provide strong support in special situations like the current one. Such a timely Skill was invaluable to Shen Xingyan.

However, this Skill also had a drawback: its cooldown was too long, requiring a full two days, which meant the little skeletons couldn't use it frequently to improve efficiency, which was a pity.

At this thought, a sudden flash of inspiration struck Shen Xingyan. He immediately opened the Star Origin Mall and quickly purchased a bottle of the lowest-grade healing potion, the kind that slowly restored 100 health per minute. It was also cheap, costing only 200 copper coins.

Taking out the healing potion, Shen Xingyan walked up to Lucky, instinctively planning to give it to him to see if he could achieve a state of simultaneous healing and Berserk. If this were possible, then the Berserk Skill could truly be called a divine Skill.

However, Shen Xingyan immediately stopped that action, preparing to test it on another Little Skeleton instead.

After all, he didn't know if this experiment would cause any harm to the Little Skeleton. Better safe than sorry; his capable subordinate couldn't afford any mishaps.

He then walked to another Little Skeleton and had it drink the healing potion.

Meanwhile, he opened the other party's attribute panel to observe. Seeing the Little Skeleton drink the potion as instructed, Shen Xingyan subconsciously rubbed his hands, staring intently at the attribute panel with some anticipation.

However, the Little Skeleton that had consumed the healing potion showed no reaction, and Shen Xingyan didn't see any numbers indicating increased health pop up.

Its health in the attribute panel also showed no reaction.

Until a minute passed, and the healing potion's recovery time was complete, Shen Xingyan still didn't receive a health increase notification, but instead received a Star Origin notification:

"Current summoned creature is not applicable for healing potions, recovery failed!"

The appearance of this notification completely dashed Shen Xingyan's hopes of exploiting a bug. He shook his head with some disappointment, thinking, "It seems I really was being a bit fanciful."

With this idea declared a failure, Shen Xingyan also composed himself. Since he couldn't exploit any loopholes, he would just wait until he developed his Skeleton army. By then, even without this Skill, the little skeletons would be enough to face various challenges!
