Chapter 152 Bookworm's Sanctuary- The Library

Skills. 

"Skills" refer to the abilities, knowledge, and expertise that individuals possess and have developed through training, education, and experience.

They can be both innate and learned and are often applied to perform specific tasks or achieve desired outcomes. 

So can you say skills are just some enlightenment that our brain goes through?

The answer would be Yes and No. 

While skills are closely related to the functioning of the brain, it would be inaccurate to say that they are simply an "enlightenment" that the brain goes through.

Skills involve the development of specific abilities and knowledge through a combination of cognitive processes, practice, and experience.

The brain plays a critical role in skill development, as it is responsible for processing information, learning new concepts, and coordinating physical actions.

As individuals learn and practice a skill, their brain forms and strengthen neural connections, which enables them to perform the skill more effectively and efficiently over time.

Therefore, skills are not simply a matter of enlightenment or sudden realization, but rather a gradual process of learning and refinement that involves the brain, as well as other factors such as practice, experience, and feedback.

When Rain gained his skills from the System for the first time, he was curious about how he could learn all the skills which he never ever learned. 

After some brainstorming, he found the answers as he remembered some of the content he read in the library of the Holmes family. 

It was about how humans developed skills after "the change". 

It was the same process of learning and adapting. But there were some cases where "external forces" played a role.

External factors can indeed play a role in skill development, and some individuals may have a "eureka" moment or sudden realization that helps them gain a basic understanding of a skill.

However, even in such cases, the process of developing and refining that skill typically involves ongoing practice and learning. 

Wasn't this same case happening with him? Rain was really awestruck. 

For example, someone may have a sudden insight into how to solve a math problem, but they still need to practice solving similar problems to develop a deeper understanding of the underlying concepts and build fluency in their problem-solving skills. 

After pestering the system for some time, Rain finally received an answer to his question: "Yes."

He felt a sense of accomplishment at having unlocked this information but was also aware that the system had given his brain a little enlightenment, allowing him to perform skills he had never learned.

"What about the times when you raised the proficiency of some of my skills?" Rain asked, confused.

"[I can explain,]" the system replied, and Rain waited anxiously for an answer. 

When he chose to become an extra character, the system raised the level of some of his skills by one level.

Rain had some lingering questions regarding this.

[Host, it's a simple thing. In reality, those skills were going to break through sooner or later. They were just missing a few enlightenments.]

This new information left Rain feeling scared and uneasy. He had not realized that the system was so powerful that it could even manipulate his brain. 

[Don't be scared, Host. I can only do these little tricks. I can't control your actions.]

Even though the system reassured him and Rain felt a little better, but still had a nagging feeling of suspicion.

"Can you give me those enlightenments again in the future?" Rain asked curiously, hoping he could raise his skill level when he got stuck in his training.

His face lit up with excitement at the prospect of easily raising his skill level. 

However, the system's response quickly extinguished his optimism. "[No, don't even think about it,]" the system refused.

Rain was disappointed, but tried to stay positive. "Still, it's good that I can gain beginner-level skills easily and use them," he said.

Reflecting on his conversation with the system, Rain realized that he had learned some valuable lessons.

He understood that he should not use too many points to buy skills unless it was necessary and that he needed to be cautious when dealing with the powerful and enigmatic system.

Then why was Rain remembering these things at the current moment? 

It's because he was going to get new skills today. 

***

Behind every action, there would be a cause. 

The reason Rain was fighting in the arena and raising his rank like a madman was because he wanted something. 

He opened the past notifications he got on his user ID. 

There were a bunch of system notifications, some friend requests, and some messages from "Misty". 

Rain didn't read anything besides the system notifications.

After reading this Rain smiled inwardly. 

Now he could go to the library and take the skills he will want. 

Soon Rain came out of his virtual home and set on the journey to his next destination. 

The upper tier city of the virtual world Mythosia, Starfall City. 

Because in that city lies Bookworm's Sanctuary, the library.
