Chapter 394: Encountering the Insight Fruit, the Point Is to Eat More

Seeing Lin Caier's frightened expression, Jiang Ruo suddenly laughed out loud, "Ha ha, I was just kidding you!"

Lin Caier only then realized she had been fooled by Jiang Ruo, and she called out dissatisfied, "Sister, you're bullying people."

Jiang Ruo giggled repeatedly, and slowly said, "The teacher said that if animals are killed here, it will increase the Difficulty ahead."

"If too many are killed, it will become dangerous."

Lin Caier asked puzzled, "But my grandfather said this place is very safe."

Jiang Ruo nodded, "Generally that's true; if you don't court death, you won't die."

Indeed so.

Jiang Chen noticed that the aura on some people grew increasingly strong, clearly they had killed many animals.

Those animals, after death, turned into strange auras that stained the killers.

Yet the killers felt nothing, which was very odd.

Jiang Ruo was too lazy to mind others' affairs; now they employed Spiritual Power, focusing intently on the surroundings.

Trying to avoid stepping on and killing any animal as much as possible.

They tiptoed through the Forest for a while, and could no longer see anyone.

At this moment, Jiang Ruo produced a Bagua compass, the same one Jiang Chen had seen before.

Jiang Ruo fiddled with it for a bit, then pointed a direction, "We'll go that way."

Yi Ning asked oddly, "What's the difference?"

Jiang Ruo said, "If we go around that side, there's a Mountain cave. Through the cave lies an orchard."

Lin Caier, still confused, "Isn't there an orchard after crossing the Mountain as well?"

"No, no, no, this orchard is not that orchard," Jiang Ruo replied cryptically, leading the way ahead.

They began to change direction, heading to the other side, and in the blink of an eye vanished into the Forest.

Jiang Chen still monitored each footfall, giving several alerts and avoiding many inconspicuous little insects.

Jiang Ruo, holding the Bagua compass, kept adjusting the direction.

Thus, their speed fell far behind that of others.

Others walked in straight lines; only they took a winding route.

But Jiang Ruo was not at all hurried, and Yi Ning kept his composure.

As for Lin Caier, the little girl hadn't even had time to flatter Jiang Ruo; she kept calling them "Sister" one after another, overly affectionate, and ended up leaving Jiang Chen ignored on the side.

Jiang Chen said nothing; he knew the sister's Bagua compass was no ordinary object.

No need for him to babble; just follow and go.

Thus, the four of them spent a full ten hours and finally reached the Mountain Foot.

At this moment, the large contingent was already close to the Mountain top.

Through the mist, faint silhouettes of people on the Mountain could be seen from afar.

Jiang Ruo kept calculating on the Bagua compass, walked along the Mountain Foot for a while, and found an Entrance in a hidden corner.

The Entrance was narrow, allowing only one person to pass at a time.

The four slipped in one after another; after a short walk, the view opened up brightly.

Deep within the Mountain, there truly was an orchard.

The orchard was lush and thriving, its growth very pleasing.

The fruits were plump, bright red and juicy, looking extremely tasty.

Jiang Ruo said, "The teacher told me that the fruits here are also graded."

"We have the highest grade here, the most effective."

Yi Qianfan spoke vaguely, not clarifying the fruit's effect.

He only said to try one's best and eat a bit more within one's capability range.

What exactly this capability range refers to remains unclear.

Jiang Chen whispered, "I'll try first."

He decided to test it himself first; if any problem arose, he could transfer the damage, making it safer.

First, he cast a Detection Technique.

The Detection Technique only returned the fruit's name.

"High-grade Fruit"

Beyond that, there was no other information.

He reached out, plucked a fruit, and took a bite.

The fruit was juicy and sweet.

In that instant, Jiang Chen's memory flooded with the recollection of eating Desert Fruit.

Now that he thought of it, it really was ruthless back then.

To find the Desert Fruit, he didn't know how many times he had reset the Instance.

The juice dissolved in his throat and quickly surged into his body.

Jiang Chen trembled all over, stunned on the spot.

He felt all his strength receding like a tide.

He turned from a power‑filled professional back into an ordinary person.

Jiang Chen quickly checked his attributes.

"Name: Jiang Chen"

"Profession: Necromancer Lord (the only)"

Level: 45 (2.13%)

Strength (Sealed): 100

Agility (Sealed): 100

Spirit (Sealed): 100

Constitution (Sealed): 100

Skill (Sealed): None

Jiang Ruo saw Jiang Chen's complexion wasn't good, "Xiao Chen, what's wrong?"

Jiang Chen said, "My attributes and skills have been sealed."

Huh?

The few of them were stunned for a moment; how could this happen?

What's going on? Is it because we ate this fruit?

Jiang Chen pondered, a flash of insight appearing in his mind, and swallowed the remaining half of the fruit.

He felt the strength seemed to have increased.

Upon checking again, he found the Four-dimensional Attributes had reached 200, double what they were before.

Jiang Chen plucked another fruit and ate it in a few bites.

The Four-dimensional Attributes reached 400.

Each fruit can add 800 points of total attributes, then evenly distribute them onto the Four-dimensional Attributes.

Jiang Chen roughly had an answer in mind; no wonder they said to eat more.

The more one eats now, the more attributes increase, which benefits the next stage.

But Jiang Chen guessed there must be some limitation; it can't let you eat without bound.

Jiang Chen voiced his speculation, and Jiang Ruo laughed, saying, "Xiao Chen is right, that's exactly it."

Lin Caier'er asked curiously, "Sister, you already knew?"

Jiang Ruo replied matter‑of‑factly, "Of course, otherwise how could I let Xiao Chen eat something unknown?"

Jiang Chen wore a helpless expression.

"Fine, I got played by my older sister again."

Jiang Ruo giggled, "Everyone, go eat quickly; this is the highest‑grade fruit, its effect is far better than the outside fruits, and the side effects are fewer."

Lin Caier'er asked curiously, "This one also has side effects?"

Jiang Ruo said, "Yes, if you eat too much you'll feel bloated."

"Is that even a side effect? Eating too much makes you bloated; that's just a common property of food."

Lin Caier'er patted her belly, "Don't worry, I can eat a lot."

She said, then like a kitten she darted out, plucked the fruit and ate it greedily, shouting while eating, "This fruit is so sweet, really delicious."

Yi Ning, on the other hand, ate much more gracefully, eating slowly and deliberately.

Jiang Ruo plucked a fruit and ate it bite by bite slowly, saying, "The more attributes increase, the more advantageous it is for the challenges of the next stage."

"Besides the Four-dimensional Attributes we see on the surface, there's actually a hidden attribute."

"Eating those low‑grade fruits can't increase the hidden attribute; only the High‑grade Fruit here can."

Yi Ning asked, "What hidden attribute?"

Jiang Ruo giggled, "This attribute is called: Comprehension."

"Comprehension?"

It was the first time the few of them had heard of it.

Yi Ning and Lin Caier'er also didn't understand.

Their ignorance shows their families also don't know.

Jiang Ruo smiled, "Actually, Comprehension has always existed, but we rarely use this attribute."

"For example, why can some people awaken a talent at the First Transcendence, while others cannot."

"Why do some people, learning the same Skill with the same attribute levels, have different strength in combat."

"Why, at Level 89, some can achieve Divine Level while others can only become Pseudo‑God."

"All of these involve Comprehension."

"But things that can increase Comprehension are far too few; the fruit in your hands is a rare item that can boost Comprehension. So seize the chance and eat more."

Lin Caier'er stared with wide eyes, "Sister, you're amazing, how do you know so much?"

Jiang Ruo smiled slightly, "It was all told to me by the teacher; don't tell anyone outside."

Yi Ning nodded, "It won't be spread."

Lin Caier'er also patted her chest, promising, "I promise not to tell."

Jiang Chen asked, "Sister, what kind of person is your teacher?"

Regarding the Human Race's sole Half‑step Super God, Jiang Chen was very curious.

Jiang Ruo laughed, "The teacher is a very good person; aside from being a bit strict, everything else is almost perfect."

He didn't expect that person to be praised so highly by Jiang Ruo.

Though curious, Jiang Chen didn't continue asking.

He only needed to know that Half‑step Super God's existence, as long as it's good for his sister.

He pondered the Comprehension attribute in his mind; it was also his first time hearing such an attribute existed.

In Jiang Chen's view, awakening talent and Profession Ascension are within it; the most important role of attributes should be transformation into a god.

Why are there so many Elite Professionals, yet so few can achieve Divine Level?

It is probably related to Comprehension.

Jiang Chen decided to eat more fruits, trying to strengthen this unseen, intangible hidden attribute as much as possible.
