Chapter 133: The Surprising Secret of the Comprehension Stone
After some thought, Yi Chen raised his eyes to Bai Ruo Xin:
"Fifth-grade!"
Bai Ruo Xin was somewhat surprised but said nothing more, noting down the grade.
"Do you know why I didn’t give it a name?"
Yi Chen suddenly asked.
"Either this spirit mine has extraordinary value or danger, and the chief doesn’t want anyone to see clues from the name, or the chief hasn’t tested the characteristics of the spirit mine and doesn’t know how to name it," Bai Ruo Xin pondered.
Yi Chen looked at Bai Ruo Xin and meaningfully reminded her, "The smarter a person is, the harder they are to control. Being too smart is not a good thing!"
"It’s fine. Whenever the chief thinks I know too much and wants to kill me to silence me, I will certainly accept it with a smile, without any complaints!"
Bai Ruo Xin was calm, her brilliant, star-like eyes free of any impurities.
"Let’s call this spirit mine the Comprehension Stone! You can change the name as you like and notify the Political Council to issue a bounty. Whoever finds the Comprehension Stone can receive a generous reward."
Yi Chen smiled noncommittally and instructed, "Regarding the Intelligence Organization, in the future, they have the right to secretly investigate who collects the Comprehension Stone but keeps it hidden!"
Even if someone found the Comprehension Stone, they wouldn’t be able to refine the treasures he expected from it. At most, it would allow one or two people to gain a small improvement in their limits, which wouldn’t have a significant impact.
But more Comprehension Stones would enable him to refine treasures with a larger space, capable of accommodating more people, and offering better effects.
He must ensure that he collects them all, leaving none behind.
Only then can he guarantee there will be enough for future use.
Of course, if there were a mine for Comprehension Stones, it wouldn’t matter.
But such spirit mines, like the spirit materials that enhance talent and comprehension, would definitely be extremely rare resources.
"Alright!"
Bai Ruo Xin nodded.
…
"What the heck is going on? It seems like Bai Ruo Xin guessed correctly; Yi Chen really values this spirit mine."
"Not just values it, he highly treasures it. From Yi Chen authorizing the Intelligence Organization to secretly trace who hides it, it seems he considers the Comprehension Stone to be the most important strategic resource."
"Hurry, check what this Comprehension Stone is."
"Waiting for news!"
"By the way, Bai Ruo Xin really does have outstanding acting skills; she could be a movie queen."
"Indeed, she shows a completely loyal demeanor, always ready to serve Yi Chen. If I didn’t know she was sent by ambitious individuals, I might believe her."
"You are you, Yi Chen is Yi Chen. I see Yi Chen’s attitude as completely distrustful."
"God knows, Yi Chen’s thoughts are even harder to guess."
"Have you all considered that Bai Ruo Xin might not be sent by any ambitious individuals but could be a remnant of Yi Tenglóng?"
"Weren’t those from the Revival Army said to be fake?"
"The Revival Army may be fake, but the remnants of Yi Tenglóng are real!"
"If she is sent by the genuine Revival Army, her attitude makes sense and is understandable."
"In the past, Yi Tenglóng had a large group of capable and absolutely loyal followers. These people would undoubtedly be devoted to Yi Chen."
"If Bai Ruo Xin comes from the legitimate Revival Army and is completely loyal to Yi Chen, then she could naturally remain calm even if Yi Chen wanted to kill her."
As the audience in the live room continued to chat, they grew increasingly convinced that their earlier judgment about Bai Ruo Xin’s identity might have been wrong.
"No matter how good someone’s acting is, it shouldn’t allow them to remain calm and normal in their heartbeat when they have just crossed the taboo of knowing too much."
"If Bai Ruo Xin is a descendant of Yi Tenglóng’s old brothers or subordinates, it also explains why she can appear so natural in front of Yi Chen, showing no signs of deceit."
"Because alongside her loyalty, Yi Chen is also like a brother to her. It’s this special relationship that allows her to be completely at ease in front of Yi Chen without any disguise."
"Also, when she first entered the exile planet and even after joining the Flame Mountain Tribe, she focused her attention for a long time not on Yi Chen but on observing other fake heavy criminals, which is reasonable."
"She was not studying her competitors; she was studying these fake heavy criminals to identify potential threats to Yi Chen."
"Oh my goodness, this analysis seems logical. Is it true?"
"God knows… There’s only one truth. If it’s based purely on guesses and inferences, we can only say this possibility is higher. But we can’t ensure new clues won’t emerge and overturn this possibility."
"Just not long ago, everyone firmly believed she was sent by ambitious individuals to try and control Yi Chen."
"Who knows, maybe one day some new clues emerge, and she appears to be someone sent by the Federal Parliament."
In the live room, most viewers felt a headache.
In the Flame Mountain Tribe, Bai Ruo Xin’s behavior surprised more than anything that Yi Chen did.
Determining her identity was incredibly difficult.
Given the possibility that Bai Ruo Xin might be a member of the Revival Army, the public’s dislike for her began to significantly decrease.
"We found it! We found the Comprehension Stone!"
"In the entire galaxy, this Comprehension Stone is considered a rare mineral."
"Because it has no obvious functions, only some collectors keep it as a rare item."
"Also, someone online has already started selling a Comprehension Stone. It’s only the size of a fist, yet it’s priced at three hundred thousand. It’s insane!"
"I wonder who the fool is that actually placed an order. They don’t even know what this thing is really useful for!"
"My goodness, another slightly larger one appeared, priced at one million!"
"What the heck? Someone bought it!"
The audience in the live room quickly shifted their attention to the Comprehension Stone.
They were astonished to find that almost every Comprehension Stone listed online was snatched up instantly.
Prices soared, even exceeding ten million, yet whenever one appeared, it was quickly bought.
This completely baffled the ordinary public.
"What is going on? It feels like there’s some insider information we’re unaware of!"
"Yes! This Comprehension Stone, from its name, seems related to understanding the principles of the universe!"
"Even if it can speed up the understanding of the principles of the universe, it shouldn’t be priced this high."
"Even rare herbs that can enhance talent barely break ten million, right? This Comprehension Stone shouldn’t be compared to the rare spirit materials that enhance talent. But looking at its price, it seems there’s still a lot of room for increases."
Most people felt completely confused, unable to understand why the price of the Comprehension Stone skyrocketed to alarming levels, even surpassing rare spirit materials that enhance talent.
The root of the issue was that the ordinary public only knew that breaking through from the Spirit Law to the Spirit Consciousness stage required a certain level of understanding of the principles of the universe.
Currently, many geniuses had already broken through to the Spirit Consciousness stage.
Ordinary people, however, were far from reaching the Ninth Level of Spirit Law.
The vast majority believed that understanding the principles of the universe was similar to accumulating spirit power during training—those with poor talent just needed more time than the geniuses.
They thought that with several times, even dozens of times more time spent, one could certainly accumulate enough spirit power to break through the next small realm.
If they spent several times or dozens of times more, they could eventually meet the conditions for understanding the principles.
While Yi Chen only took a little over ten minutes, it was said that those top geniuses could reach the required understanding in just a few hours.
Adding a few dozen times to that would mean an extra ten days or eight days, which was hardly worth mentioning.
In the eyes of the ordinary public, treasures that could speed up the understanding of the principles of the universe seemed insignificant compared to spirit materials or treasures that enhanced training speed.
Only some high-ranking individuals, top wealthy people, and important researchers at research institutes understood that if one’s comprehension was inadequate, no matter how much time they spent, they might never break through to the first level of Spirit Consciousness.
The further one went, the higher the requirements for comprehension became.
The Parliament and Military had not released this information because ordinary people had too low a talent, and given the tense situation, there was no need to create unnecessary panic.
On the market, all the Comprehension Stones were snapped up by top wealthy individuals who were aware of the facts.
If the Comprehension Stone only helped speed up one’s understanding of the principles of the universe, its value surely wouldn’t reach tens of millions at this stage.
At the very least, it wouldn’t compare to those spirit materials that enhance talent.
These spirit materials could not only increase training speed but also improve comprehension.
However, if the Comprehension Stone could facilitate a better understanding of the principles of the universe, then its value would far exceed that of spirit materials that enhance talent.
Because it was not a one-time consumable.
With Yi Chen placing a high value on the Comprehension Stone, these top wealthy individuals naturally placed their bets without hesitation.
Forget about tens of millions; they would even buy it for hundreds of millions without a second thought.
