Chapter 106: Chapter 84: With These Skills, It’d Be a Waste Not to Be the BOSS

After returning, Little White’s unease quickly dissipated, constantly bouncing curiously beside Gu Shanhai, showing interest in everything.

At this time, Gu Shanhai was also probing what he had shared with his animal companion, Little White.

He could preliminarily confirm an increase in vitality, though not by much. After quantification, it amounted to an extra increase of about 10 points in the life value limit. However, Little White was a fawn; as it grew, this value could still rise.

As for Little White itself, its abilities had not fully awakened. After all, it was young, and many abilities develop slowly during growth, rather than being present at birth.

Currently, it only had one skill: Water Stride, which allowed it to walk on water without any other functions.

Gu Shanhai was quite satisfied with this. He planned to have Little White serve as a mount rather than a battle beast when it grew up. Taking the size of the Qingyuan White Deer King as a template, Little White’s future stature would not be small. Not just as a mount, but even qualifying as a war colossus.

Now Gu Shanhai was reading, looking at notes left by Druids who had chosen the Qingyuan White Deer as their animal companions in the past, which recorded how to care for and cultivate the Qingyuan White Deer. At that time, the information was far more voluminous than what he had now, so many Druids could only choose to raise fawns themselves.

Therefore, these experiences were left behind, along with the inheritance of knowledge on raising magical creatures, which Gu Shanhai was also studying.

After hopping around for half an hour, Little White gradually grew tired. After all, it was only a three-month-old fawn. Despite its boundless energy, it was limited, so it nestled beside Gu Shanhai and began to doze off.

Gu Shanhai looked at the scene and felt a black line forming on his forehead, as if it was somewhat unreliable.

But then he let it be; after all, you can’t expect too much from a fawn. You certainly can’t demand too much from a three-month-old child.

"Besides vitality, there seem to be other enhancements? Perhaps in comprehension?"

"There’s no record of that, is it because of Little White’s talent?"

Gu Shanhai closed the book. His learning efficiency had increased by about 3% this time. In this regard, he still had a good sense, so a simple estimate could show the difference.

However, without any records, Gu Shanhai was still puzzled.

It was unlikely due to his own growth; he was keenly aware of every improvement in his own strength.

"Let’s see. If it’s true, then Little White’s potential may be much greater than I had imagined." After some thought, Gu Shanhai realized he had more subjects to learn.

"If I go for top-tier cultivation, I have to max out both potion and herbalism. Next, I need to keep up with studies in magical creature lore..."

"Holy shit..."

Gu Shanhai looked at Little White. What kind of animal companion was this? It was practically pushing him onto the path to being a scholarly king.

Of course, if he chose not to go for top-tier cultivation, it wouldn’t be so troublesome, but how could Gu Shanhai give up? If it truly shared comprehension with him, it would directly make up for one of his weaknesses.

Don’t look at him now, picking up everything effortlessly; that relies on the immense foundation from a past life. For things mystical and obscure, like grasping subtleties of the world, his comprehension was just average, akin to a minor supporting character. Things like Sword Intent and artistic conception were beyond his grasp in his previous life.

Although these things were of little use to Gu Shanhai, who wouldn’t like to have higher comprehension?

He now belonged to the type with high Root Bone but average comprehension. It was certainly sufficient, but who wouldn’t want better?

"Fortunately, most of these subjects are knowledge-based. I have experience getting started..."

"With what I’m learning now, I should barely be able to take care of Little White. Next, I need to quickly learn to cast spells without material components, and then study the oracle-like cantrip ’Read Magic,’ which will speed up my reading."

Without the ability to cast spells without material components, casting Read Magic once would require either a clear crystal or a prismatic mineral.

While Read Magic wasn’t as fast as the 1st-level spell Sage’s Touch when it came to reading—it was specialized for interpreting magical inscriptions on objects, rather than reading books—Sage’s Touch could help him finish a book quickly.

However, learning a 1st-level spell was more challenging, and more importantly, it made a slight difference.

Gu Shanhai wanted more than just to learn; he considered starting from the foundations, like turning all those spells into permanent passive states.

Therefore, starting from the most fundamental, slowly learning and deciphering was more solid.

Spellcasting without material components was a more advanced magical technique, and Gu Shanhai found it... very easy to learn.

He mastered it after reading it three times and practicing twice. It just needed further proficiency to integrate every spell and Divine Art into this technique.

"There’s definitely an enhancement to comprehension..." This time, Gu Shanhai could be sure—his speed was indeed faster.

For players, this would be like gaining additional proficiency in a skill when used, a Divine Skill that was effective from early game to the very end, especially since this Divine Skill could grow.

"In light of this, it seems I need to bring the remaining advanced magical techniques into my schedule."

"After learning those, I’ll condense the remaining six natural sigils of the first layer."

Blood, Agility, Stamina, Clarity, Insight, and Presence—the six natural sigils were relatively simple for Gu Shanhai. Once he had completed these sigils, he would probably be ready to formally study 1st-level linguistic spells. Of course, he would also need to learn the Internal Organ Divination Skill.
